These terms and conditions of sale ("Terms") govern your use of the Website and the sale of central vacuum cleaners, filters, bags and other products or ancillary services ("Product(s)") between Drainvac International 2006 Inc. doing business as "Drainvac", operator of the Website and seller of the Product(s) on one side ("Drainvac" or "we") and users of the Website or purchasers of the Product(s) ("Customer" or "you") on the other.

Please read these Terms carefully, as they are binding for your use of the Website and for any purchases of Products from it. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or make any transactions on the Website.

When using the Website or making a purchase, you agree to comply with: (i) these Terms; (ii) any other policies that Drainvac may adopt from time to time regarding the Website, as well as the installation manuals and servicing of the Products; and (iii) any applicable laws or regulations linked to the installation and use of the Products or the use of the Website, including but not limited to the National Building Code and intellectual property protection laws.

These Terms are subject to change at any time by Drainvac, in which case the most recent version will automatically supersede the previous one. If we make any changes, we will take steps to notify you, either by posting them on the Website or otherwise. Your use of the Website after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the Terms as revised. If a Customer fails or refuses to accept the current Terms at the express request of Drainvac, his or her access to the features offered by the Website, including the ability to purchase Products, may be suspended.

The Website is intended only for persons of legal age and with the capacity to contract. Any use of the Website and creation of an account by a minor is strictly prohibited. By using the Website or purchasing Products from it, you are stating and guaranteeing that you are of legal age in your place of residence.

You may create an account to facilitate the purchase of Products or proceed as a guest. If you do so, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your password and for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities. If you become aware of or reasonably suspect any intrusion, including any theft, loss or unauthorized disclosure or use of your password or identity, you must immediately notify us by contacting us as provided herein.

Purchases and returns of products

Receipt of an order by Drainvac does not constitute automatic acceptance. All orders are subject to confirmation by a Drainvac representative, who reserves the discretion to cancel or refuse any order within five (5) business days. In the event of an error in the entry of customer identification information or the price of the Product, inability to deliver, or any other reason, we will contact you to notify you and issue a full refund of the money that may have been collected at the time of the order. The time required to process a refund varies depending on the Customer's financial institution.

Once confirmed, an order can only be changed or cancelled by the Customer if the Products have not yet been shipped. Otherwise, Drainvac's Returns and Refunds Policy covering all purchases of Products will apply, which is an integral part of these Terms and Conditions and can be viewed at the following link: https://www.drainvac.com/ca/en...The original invoice for the Product will be required for any return or refund.

Availability of Products

Some Products may be available in limited quantities only. If a Product is no longer in stock at the time a Customer places the order, a Drainvac representative will inform the Customer at the time the order is confirmed and any additional delivery time will be communicated to the Customer at that time. If the Customer prefers to cancel the order, Drainvac will refund in full any amount paid by the Customer.

Price

Prices are quoted and payable in Canadian dollars. Unless otherwise indicated, they do not include applicable sales taxes or shipping charges, which, if applicable, will be calculated at the rate in effect at the time of purchase. All prices are subject to change without notice.

Payment

When you purchase a Product online, full payment of the price of the Products ordered, as well as all applicable fees and taxes, is required at the time of ordering, whether or not the Product is available in stock. In the event that a Product is not available, it will be refunded to you in the manner provided herein.

The payment of your purchase is made by credit card, via the secure section of the Website, using the payment platform of a third party service provider. The security of the banking information communicated during the purchase of a Product is governed by our privacy policy available at the following link: https://www.drainvac.com/ca/en..., which the Customer acknowledges having read and understood by his or her acceptance of these Terms.

You agree to pay the full cost and charges for the products purchased. For security and fraud protection reasons, credit card purchases are accepted only if the name and shipping address match the name on the purchaser's credit card and the address on file with the card issuer. In the event that your payment cannot be validated or we have reasonable grounds to doubt the validity of the transaction, additional checks may be performed and Drainvac will have no obligation to process your order.

Delivery

Delivery times generally vary between 3 and 15 business days from the time Drainvac receives the full purchase price of the Products, subject to confirmation of the order by Drainvac. The delivery date may vary depending on the place of delivery, the nature and number of Products purchased and public holidays.

Any delivery time mentioned to the Customer at the time of purchase is for guidance only, as delivery is made by a third-party service provider, Drainvac has no control over and cannot be held responsible for any delivery delays. Drainvac will use reasonable efforts to ensure that delivery times are met.

We only make the delivery when all Products in the order are ready for delivery. We do not make partial deliveries. However, if the Customer wishes to have the Products delivered in several shipments, he/she is invited to contact Drainvac in order to verify the possibility of an agreement in this sense. Additional delivery charges will be applied for each partial delivery according to the delivery charge schedule in effect at the time, which must be paid before the Products are delivered.

The products offered on the Website are available for delivery in Canada only.

Warranty and safety of the products

Products sold by Drainvac are covered by our manufacturer's warranty available on the following Website,

Please also note that the installation, operation and maintenance instructions that accompany the Product are incorporated into these Terms as an integral part of these Terms.

The Products may present certain inherent safety hazards if installed or used improperly. It is the Customer's responsibility to read the operation and maintenance manual, the warranty text of the Products and all safety warnings, if any, and to ensure that they have understood and complied with the terms thereof, as a condition to the application of any warranty.

The intervention of professionals is required in certain cases, such as for Products requiring a water inlet, those operating on 220V, when the piping network is not already in place and in good condition, etc.
