We only accept responsibility for statements and representations made in writing by our authorized employees and agents.

Any samples, descriptions or advertising created, and any descriptions or illustrations contained on our website or brochures, are issued or published solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the goods they describe. They do not form part of the contract between you and us or any other contract between you and us for the sale of the goods.

​

The recipient of your order is responsible for all customs formalities for the import of the items and will be required to pay any additional charges for international delivery, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies, and other charges that may be levied outside Canada. The recipient of the items, not the person placing the order, will typically receive a separate request for payment of these charges when the goods arrive in the country of destination. If you’re ordering items to be delivered to someone else, please ensure they’re aware that they’ll be responsible for these additional charges.

​

We may also be required to identify and verify other persons, such as directors or beneficial owners. If information of this nature is not provided, this could delay your order.

​

9.8.1 Where we ask for sight of documents to prove identity and to enable us to verify it, we will specify which documents we require such as a passport or other government issued id.

​

​
