Your continued use of the Site after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. For significant changes, we will provide reasonable notice via email or a banner on our Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and apply to all users irrespective of their physical location. If you are accessing the Site from a jurisdiction with conflicting laws, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.

We reserve the right to suspend, deactivate, or terminate your account and access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct detrimental to the Site, other users, or our business.
2.3 Guest Checkout
You may also make purchases through our guest checkout feature without creating a registered account. In such cases, you are still subject to all provisions of these Terms, and we collect the same information required to process your order.
3. PRODUCT INFORMATION, PRICING, AND AVAILABILITY
3.1 Product Descriptions
We strive to provide accurate and detailed product descriptions, including features, specifications, dimensions, colors, materials, and images. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, or other content on the Site are entirely accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Screen displays and color accuracy may vary depending on your device’s monitor and settings; we cannot guarantee that the color you see matches the actual product color.
If a product you receive does not conform materially to its description, your sole remedy is to return it in accordance with our Returns Policy.
3.2 Pricing and Currency
All product prices displayed on our Site are quoted in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and are exclusive of applicable taxes and shipping charges unless otherwise indicated. Prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any product or service without liability.
3.3 Taxes and Duties
Sales taxes (GST, HST, PST) are calculated based on the shipping address you provide at checkout. Taxes will be automatically added to your order total in accordance with the laws of the applicable Canadian province or territory. You are responsible for all applicable taxes and any customs duties or import fees if shipping outside Canada.
3.4 Product Availability
We strive to maintain accurate inventory levels on our Site. However, inventory availability is dynamic, and products may become out of stock after you place an order due to high demand. In the event that a product is unavailable after your order is submitted, we will notify you and:
- Give you the option to wait for restocking (no estimated time guaranteed)
- Suggest a similar product as a replacement
- Cancel the affected item(s) and issue a refund to your original payment method
We are not liable for any consequential damages arising from product unavailability.

Your order constitutes an offer to purchase products from us. We reserve the right to accept or reject your order for any reason, including but not limited to:
- Inaccuracies in product descriptions, pricing, or promotional offers
- Unavailability of products
- Suspected fraudulent activity or unauthorized payment
- Violation of these Terms
If we cancel your order after your payment has been processed, we will issue a full refund. We may also limit or cancel quantities purchased per order. Order confirmation emails from our system are acknowledgments of receipt, not acceptance of the order.
3.6 Typographical Errors
In the event of a typographical or pricing error on the Site, we reserve the right to correct the error and cancel or adjust any orders affected by the error. If we cancel your order due to a pricing error, we will refund the full amount paid.
