5.1 Personal Use. You may purchase products via the Services only for personal use and not for resale. By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you are purchasing products for personal use only and not for resale. 

 

5.2 Product Availability. Availability of products for sale on the Services may vary and products displayed may be out of stock or discontinued. Some products may be available only in limited quantities or while supplies last. Display of an item on the Services is not a guarantee that the item is in stock or that it will be in stock at a later date. Once an item is out of stock, we will attempt to remove the item promptly from display on the Services. If you have ordered something which is not available, you will have the option to either: (i) be refunded any money you have paid in respect thereof; or (ii) purchase another product at any price, in which case you will not be required to pay any price adjustment if the price of the replacement item is higher than the price of the product you initially selected, but you will be refunded the amount of any overpayment if the price of the replacement item is less than the price of the product you initially selected.

 

5.3 Orders. Although we have made every effort to display products as accurately as possible on the Services, the manner in which products are actually displayed will depend upon the monitor or device of the user. We cannot guarantee that your monitor or device will accurately portray the actual colors, textures or details of our products.

 

To place an order, you will be required to follow the shopping process online, accept this Agreement, and press the “Place Order” button to submit the order. By accepting this Agreement and clicking “Place Order”, you agree that your order will be subject to this Agreement.

 

You will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order (the “Order Confirmation”), which does not mean that your order has been accepted, as your order constitutes your offer to us to buy products from us. All orders are subject to product availability and acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail confirmation when the order is shipped (the “Shipment Confirmation”).

 

5.4 Price. The price of the products shall be as quoted from time to time on the Services. While we take care to ensure that all prices and terms quoted on the Services are accurate, errors may occur, and prices may change without notice. If we discover an error in the price or any other terms of any products you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming the order at the correct price or the appropriate terms or cancelling the order. If we are unable to contact you within 10 days, the order will be deemed to be cancelled.

 

All prices listed on the Services are in the currency that corresponds to your browsing preference on the Services (i.e., prices are quoted in Canadian dollars if you are browsing on the Canadian version of the ANGELCARE GROUP WEBSITE(S) and in United States dollars if you are browsing on the United States version of the ANGELCARE GROUP WEBSITE(S)) and are exclusive of shipping charges and applicable taxes. Applicable taxes are charged according to the shipping address of your order as provided by applicable law and are calculated upon checkout before you confirm your order. You will not be responsible for self-assessing the applicable taxes or duties and remitting the amount of such taxes to the relevant authorities.

 

5.5 Payment. By clicking “Place Order”, you will be redirected to your PayPal account to approve the payment and you are confirming that the PayPal account being used is yours. Once approved, you will be brought back to the ANGELCARE GROUP WEBSITE(S) to finalize your order. Credit and debit cards used through PayPal are subject to validation checks and authorization by the credit or debit card issuer; if PayPal does not receive the required authorization or fails to provide us with a confirmation of approval of the transaction, we will not be able to fulfill your order and the transaction will be cancelled. You will be required to place another order and provide valid payment.

 

If you do not have access to PayPal, we encourage you to find your closest retailer of products sold via the Services. To find the retailer nearest to you, please visit Where to Buy.

 

5.6 Shipping and Delivery. Products offered through the Services are available for delivery to addresses in Canada, the United States, or the United Kingdom, specific to the ordering functions and product availability of each site. Shipping addresses must be valid addresses, including post office boxes.

 

Once your order is shipped, we will e-mail you a tracking number to enable you to track your package at all times. The time it takes for your order to be delivered depends on where you are located and what type of shipping method you select. Any delivery time provided by us is an estimate only. If you have ordered multiple products, you may receive all or some of them separately, on different dates.

 

You are responsible for the shipping costs associated with the delivery to you of products purchased through the Services. Shipping fees are generally not refundable but may be permitted (at our sole discretion) where a product warranty issue arises.

 

All products purchased are intended for use in the country from which they are ordered. If, however, you decide to take products to another country, you will be responsible for adhering to both the export legislation of the order country and the import legislation of the destination country. ANGELCARE shall not be liable in this regard.

 

5.7 Title and Risk. Title and risk in respect of products purchased will be transferred to you upon delivery.

 

5.8 Returns and Exchanges. Our Return and Exchange Policy for Online purchases applies only where products do not comply with the applicable warranty. We do not refund, exchange or credit items that you no longer want, or for any reason other than failure to comply with the applicable warranty. The Policy can be found here, or you may Contact Us for assistance with returns and exchanges. Where permitted, refunds will be credited to your original method of payment and will be equal to the cost of the returned products plus applicable taxes. Shipping and handling charges will be refunded where a product warranty issue has arisen. Warranty information in respect of each product can be found on the designated webpage for the product.
