GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR SOLAR POWER STORE CANADA INC.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale govern the sale of Goods by Solar Power Store Canada Inc. (“SPS”) to a third-party purchaser (“Buyer”). All transactions between Buyer and SPS are subject to these terms and conditions, which shall take precedence over the terms and conditions contained in Buyer’s order or in any other form issued by Buyer, whether or not the such form has been acknowledged or accepted by SPS. Buyer shall be deemed to have full knowledge of the terms and conditions herein and these terms and conditions shall be binding upon Buyer if either the Goods referred to herein are delivered to and accepted by Buyer, or if Buyer does not within five days from the date hereof deliver to us a written objection to these terms and conditions or any part thereof. No waiver, alteration, or modification of these terms and conditions shall be binding upon SPS unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of SPS.

(c) Prices are in Canadian Dollar currency and are exclusive of all duties, costs (including costs of packing and transportation), and taxes of any kind. Buyer will pay all such duties, costs, and taxes and will indemnify and hold SPS harmless for any liability that may arise in connection thereto.

(a) Payment terms will be stated in SPS’s order confirmation. If no payment terms are provided in the order confirmation, payment is required in full prior to shipment.

(b) Payment by bank transfer shall be deemed to have been effected on the date upon which the amount paid is credited to SPS’S bank account.

(c) Buyer shall pay all amounts when due in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and shall not be entitled to assert any credit, setoff, deduction, or counterclaim against SPS in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. Without limiting any other rights or remedies that may be available to it, SPS may set off any amount owing to it by Buyer against any amount payable by SPS to Buyer.

(d) Overdue accounts are subject to interest charges at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, but in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.

In the event of legal proceedings, all court and other costs may be added to the principal owing, and interest may be compounded until the date of judgment at the statutory rate.

(e) If, in its sole discretion, SPS believes Buyer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may become impaired or threatened, or if Buyer fails to comply with payment terms, SPS may require advance payment, and/or may suspend delivery or cancel any existing order or remaining balance thereof, without prejudice to any of its other rights and recourses. In the event of the cancellation of an order, all outstanding debts of the Buyer will become due with immediate effect.

(f) SPS may apply any payment it receives from Buyer against any obligation owing to it by Buyer, regardless of any statements appearing thereon or with respect thereto, which will not discharge Buyer from any amounts Buyer owes.

 

3. Title / Security Interest

(a) If any part of the purchase price for the Goods is to be paid at any future time or is to be paid in installments, SPS shall retain ownership right and title in and over the Goods and the Buyer hereby grants SPS a security interest in the Goods, until such time as full payment of the Goods is made by Buyer and until Buyer has performed all other obligations owing to SPS. (b) Buyer agrees to do all things and to execute and deliver any and all documents necessary, in SPS’S sole discretion, for the creation, preservation, enforcement, and protection of such security interest over the Goods. Buyer hereby appoints SPS as its attorney to execute any documents or other instruments necessary to perfect and enforce its security interest.

(c) In the event of non-payment by the Buyer of any part of the purchase price or non-payment of any installment due to SPS, SPS shall have all rights and remedies under the applicable personal property security legislation, including, without limitation, the right to enter upon the premises of Buyer to repossess and remove the Goods without notice, wherever they are situated and by whatever means SPS may deem appropriate.

(d) In the event of retention of title or security interest, in and over the Goods, and such Goods should be assembled with or integrated into parts over which SPS has no right or title, SPS will acquire joint ownership over the new product in proportion to the value of the Goods and its right to retention or rights as the secured party will extend to such new product.

(e) In the event of resale by Buyer of the Goods or of the new product into which the Goods were assembled or integrated, SPS shall retain and Buyer hereby assigns and grants to SPS a continuing security interest in all debts, proceeds, accounts, and claims which may be owned by Buyer or due or owing to Buyer by any third party purchaser, and also all documents relating to the Goods or their proceeds, up to the amount of Buyer’s outstanding payments including interest and expenses. Buyer agrees to do all things and to execute all documents necessary to protect the such security interest. The Buyer hereby appoints SPS as its attorney for the purpose of executing any documents or other instruments necessary to perfect and enforce it's continuing security interest.

(g) As long as Buyer complies with payment terms, Buyer is entitled to collect all amounts owing to it, and use such amounts to fulfill its payment obligations toward SPS. All money collected or received by Buyer in respect of such claims shall be received as trustee for SPS and shall be forthwith paid over to SPS in fulfillment of its payment obligations towards SPS. Buyer is entitled to collect such amounts until notice to the contrary, subsequent to which SPS may collect all amounts due directly. Any expenses, including legal fees, incurred by SPS in collecting the same may be added to the indebtedness of the Buyer.

(h) Buyer shall inform SPS without delay of any seizure, notice, proceeding, action, claim or another occurrence that may adversely affect SPS’s right, title, or ability to enforce its rights or its security interest hereunder.

 

4. Delivery and Title

(a) Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all sales are FOB Shipping Point, Freight Prepaid, and Added. Delivery will be deemed complete and all risk of loss, destruction, and damage to Goods will pass to Buyer upon delivery of Goods to the carrier at SPS’s facility. Buyer shall reimburse SPS for all transportation costs prepaid by SPS. Buyer is solely and entirely responsible for all insurance costs and risks associated with the transport of the Goods, including loading of Goods onto the carrier. In the event of any loss, destruction, or damage, Buyer’s claim shall be against the carrier only and any such loss, destruction, or damage shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations under this agreement.

(b) SPS shall package Goods according to normal industry standards and does not guarantee that any special care or materials will be used. Such special care or materials may be used if so requested by Buyer, which request SPS may accept or refuse at its sole discretion, and in which case any additional costs arising therefrom shall be borne by Buyer.

(c) In no case shall the carrier be deemed as SPS’s agent, notwithstanding SPS’s prepayment of transportation costs, and Buyer undertakes to fulfill all obligations to the carrier, financial or otherwise, in relation to the acceptance and transport of the Goods. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold SPS harmless in the event any claim, action, proceeding, charge, damage, or expense is brought against SPS by any carrier.

(d) Buyer shall, at its own cost and expense, keep all Goods fully insured against loss or damage until all sums owing to SPS have been fully paid, with each insurance policy issued naming SPS as an insured with loss payable to SPS. Buyer will assign and deliver such insurance policy to SPS as security.

(e) Buyer acknowledges that time of delivery is not of the essence, that any delivery dates indicated by SPS are estimates only, and that SPS is not liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond SPS’s reasonable control. In the event of such delay, SPS shall use its best efforts to extend the date of delivery for a period equal to the time lost. If due to force majeure, SPS may, at its option, extend the delivery time or cancel orders in whole or in part. Delay in delivery of one order shall not entitle Buyer to cancel another order. In no event shall SPS be liable for any incidental, special, or consequential damages or any loss of profit resulting from failure or delay in delivery, even if it has been advised as to the possibility of same.

(f) In the event that delivery is delayed due to the fault of Buyer, for any reason, including, without limitation, (i) not providing SPS with necessary information or documentation,

(ii) not fulfilling payment obligations, or

(iii) not accepting SPS’s delivery, SPS may, in its sole discretion, extend the date of delivery or cancel orders, in which case Buyer will not be released of its obligations and will remain liable for all costs incurred due to such delay, including but not limited to storage costs.

(g) SPS reserves the right to make partial shipments and to submit invoices for partial shipments.

 

5. Inspection and Acceptance

(a) Buyer shall perform whatever inspection or tests Buyer deems necessary as promptly as possible, but no later than five (5) days following delivery, after which time Buyer will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Goods in their condition received unless SPS has received written notice to the contrary in that time period.

(b) The foregoing shall also apply to all data, information, and documentation SPS may send to Buyer either with the Goods, or from time to time, such as, without limitation, any plans, certificates, part lists, and bills of quantity.

(c) Any discrepancy in the quantity of Goods ordered and delivered must be reported to SPS within five (5) days of receipt of the Goods. Buyer may return any surplus at SPS’s expense or may elect to keep such subject to price adjustment. Returned Goods must be in their original condition and packaging.

 

6. Changes and Cancellation

Orders accepted by SPS are not subject to changes or cancellation by Buyer except with SPS’s written consent. In such cases where SPS authorizes changes or cancellation, Buyer agrees that SPS may charge Buyer an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total purchase price as liquidated damages, being a reasonable pre-estimate by the parties of SPS’s minimum costs, together with Solar Power Store Canada reasonable costs based upon expenses already incurred and commitments made by SPS, including, without limitation, material or Goods ordered, usual overhead and reasonable profit and cancellation charges from SPS’s suppliers.

 

7. Returned Goods

No goods may be returned to SPS without its prior written permission. SPS reserves the right to decline all returns or to accept them subject to a handling/restocking charge of twenty percent (20%) of the total purchase price. Even after SPS has authorized the return of goods for credit, SPS reserves the right to adjust the amount of any credit given to the Buyer on the return of the goods based on the condition of the Goods on arrival in the SPS warehouse. Credit for returned goods will be issued to Buyer only where such goods are returned by Buyer and not by any subsequent owner of the Goods. Goods will be considered for return only if they are in their original condition and packaging.

Refunds will be issued within 30 days of receipt of the returned item, provided that the item is in its original condition with all original tags, packaging, and accessories included. Please note that in the event of a refund, Solar Power Store reserves the right to deduct any merchant fees or additional costs incurred during the processing of the original transaction. This may result in a partial refund being issued instead of a full refund. Certain items, such as customized products, gift cards, clearance items, and items marked as "final sale" are not eligible for return or exchange

Made-to-order items and items altered to meet customer requirements are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-RETURNABLE. This includes, but is not limited to, such items as lengths of wire, cable housings, or other parts/components that are sized or cut according to specific customer requests. 

8. Installation

Unless otherwise expressly stipulated, the Goods shall be installed by and at the risk and expense of Buyer. In the event that SPS is requested to supervise such installation, SPS’s responsibility shall be limited to exercising that degree of skill customary in the trade in supervising installations of the same type. Buyer shall remain responsible for all other aspects of the work including compliance with the local regulations.
