4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
1. Once you have placed your order, you should receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that We have received your order (but please contact us if you do not receive this e-mail). Please note this does not mean that your order has been accepted. All orders are subject to availability and acceptance by us (which We may refuse for any reason).
2. After you submit your order, We immediately contact your bank or card issuer for authorization to take payment from your account. We will not process your order until payment has been received in full. If We accept your order, the Product will be processed ready for dispatch at which point the contract between us ("Contract") will be formed.
3. If We have not yet processed your order, you can contact us to change it, subject to availability, before your Products are dispatched. If your order has already been processed, you may be able to return your Products under clause 8 of these terms and conditions or under our Return Policy here.

5. DELIVERY
1. Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Shipping Confirmation (via tracking URL) or, if no delivery date is specified, then as soon as reasonably possible (depending on the delivery service you have selected). In any controllable event, delivery will take place no more than 30 days after the day your Contract is entered into. This does not apply in the case of delay or nondelivery caused by an event beyond the control of our carrier, including but not limited to, inclement weather, acts of nature, pandemics, acts of terrorism, acts of war, flight delays or cancellations, riots, strikes, or delay caused by customs or other regulatory authorities, or by the act or default of the receiving customer.
2. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your mailbox or left in a safe place, after three failed attempts, you will be charged the return shipping cost to our office and We may end the Contract. If We choose to end the Contract under these circumstances, clause 13 will apply.
3. Delivery of your order will be complete when We deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.
4. You will own the Products once We have received payment in full.
5. The images of the Products on our Site and in our other advertising materials are for illustrative purposes only. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. Although We have made every effort to display and print the colours of the Products accurately, We cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the pictures, or the pictures in our other advertising materials, accurately reflect the colours of the Products that will be delivered to you.
6. WORLDWIDE DELIVERY
If you order Products from us for delivery to a destination outside of Canada:
1. Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when it reaches the delivery destination. Please note that We have no control over these charges and We cannot predict their amount. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. We will not be liable or responsible if you do not pay any such import duties or taxes;
2. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law; and,

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT
1. The price payable for the Products will be as shown on our Site in Canadian Dollars (CAD) unless you change the currency settings. Please see clauses 7.5 and 7.6 for what happens if We discover an error in the price of any Product you order. Prices advertised on our Site exclude taxes and delivery charges, which are payable in addition and shown separately during the checkout process.
2. We can change the prices on our Site at any time without notice, but changes will not affect orders which We have already accepted. However, if the tax rate changes after the date of your order, We will adjust the tax rate you pay unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in tax takes effect.
3. We accept payment by debit card, credit card, Paypal, Apple Pay, and Shopify Pay. We accept the following cards: Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
4. You must pay for the Products (including all applicable delivery charges), and We will charge the card you have chosen to use to pay for your order once you reach the final billing page and submit your order. We immediately contact your bank or card issuer for authorization to take payment from your account.
5. If We accept and process your order where there is a pricing error that is obvious and unmistakable and which could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, We may end the Contract, refund to you any amount you have paid under the Contract and require the return of any Products provided to you.
6. If you wish to apply a coupon code to your order, you must enter it during the online checkout process. Only one coupon code can be used per order and additional terms and conditions may apply in respect of each coupon code.
