The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply whether in an action at law, including but not limited to contract, negligence, or other tortious action; or an action in equity, even if an authorized representative of CRC has been advised of or should have knowledge of the possibility of such damages. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph shall apply to all Content, merchandise and services available through the Site. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. You assume all risks when purchasing products for a commercial or business use or application.

You agree that CRC has the right to send you certain information in connection with the Site. CRC may send you this and any other information in electronic form to the e-mail address you specified when you created an account through the Site. You may have the right to withdraw this consent under applicable law, but if you do, CRC may cancel your rights to the Site. Notices provided to you via e-mail will be deemed given and received on the transmission date of the e-mail. As long as you access and use the Site, you agree that you will have, or have access to, the necessary software and hardware to receive such notices. If you do not consent to receive any notices electronically, you agree to stop using or accessing the Site.

By purchasing products from the Site or providing CRC with any information, you represent to CRC that you are legally permitted to enter into a binding contract (18 years of age or older in most jurisdictions) or, if you are under the legal age of consent, you have the express permission from your parent or guardian and that any information you provide to CRC is not inaccurate, deceptive or misleading.

CRC requires that all purchases be made either (i) by individuals who are not minors and who can legally enter into binding contracts (typically persons 18 years of age or older, depending on where you live), or (ii) by minors with the permission of a parent or guardian to purchase items on the Site.

If you access the Site, you agree that the laws of the Province of Ontario, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and Conditions and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and CRC.

If you access the Site, any dispute relating in any way to your visit to the Site, to these Terms and Conditions, to CRC policies, to our advertising or solicitation practices or to products you purchase through the Site shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate CRC’ intellectual property rights, CRC may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court in Canada. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the Arbitrations Act, Ontario. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

CRC reserves the right to make changes to the Site, policies, and these Terms and Conditions at any time. If any of these conditions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.

After placing an order, you will receive an email from CRC acknowledging that it has received your order (“Order Confirmation”). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to CRC to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by CRC, and it shall confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email confirming the shipment of your order (the “Shipping Confirmation”). A contract will only be formed when CRC sends the Shipping Confirmation. The contract will relate only to those products whose shipment is confirmed in the Shipping Confirmation. CRC will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order in a separate Order Confirmation. CRC reserves the right to cancel orders at any time before they have been accepted and may rescind its acceptance and cancel such order where there has been an obvious error in price or where the product is no longer in our inventory.

Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered.  Our Site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced. If a product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation or a Shipping Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a pricing error.

On occasion, you may be able to place a product in your shopping cart and submit your order for processing, but your order is subsequently cancelled due to unavailability of product.  You acknowledge that products may sell quickly and there may be a short period of time after an order has been submitted, but where the product is no longer available.  You agree that we may cancel your order after you have received an Order Confirmation without penalty.

On very rare occasions, you may receive a Shipping Confirmation from us, but the product is no longer available in our or our third party fulfillment provider’s inventory.  You agree that we may rescind our acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if we are unable to ship the product you ordered due to unavailability.

The term “shipping” or “ship” includes the commencement of shipping items in an order for multiple purchases or where the item purchased consists of components that must be shipped separately. For example, your order may consist of (1) several different items, (2) a quantity of the same item, or, (3) a single item with several component parts the size of which might require them to be shipped in separate packages. In all such orders, we endeavour to ship out individual packages together so that they arrive at the same time; however, when that is not possible, we commence shipping by shipping individual packages in the order the soonest they are available and conditions permit. In these instances, our notification to you that your order has “shipped” marks the time when shipping has commenced; it does not mean that all items in the order have shipped at that time.  

You agree that credit cards and /or your account are to be charged on the date of placing the order, not the date of shipping.
