We suggest you print a copy of these Terms for your records.

 

OUR RIGHT TO CHANGE THESE TERMS:

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify all or a portion of these Terms at any time without further notice and without incurring any liability or obligation.  If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms on the website and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms were last revised. Your continued access to and/or use of the website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to be legally bound by, these Terms as revised.  It is your sole responsibility to regularly check the website to determine if there have been any changes to these Terms and to review such changes.  

 

OUR RIGHT TO DISCONTINUE OR MODIFY THE WEBSITE:

You acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the whole, or any part of, the website, including any products offered thereon, without notice, and that we will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, to you or any other person or entity for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any such modification(s) or discontinuance.

 

REGISTRATION:

When you make a purchase through this website, you must either register for an account, or check out as a guest. If you choose to make a purchase as a guest, you will not be required to register; however, you will still be required to provide certain personal information to allow us to process your Order (defined below). When you make a purchase with us, you agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself as requested, and if you register an account, to promptly update such information as necessary to ensure that it is kept accurate and complete. You agree to be responsible for: (a) the accuracy of all information that you provide to us, regardless of whether you register or purchase as a guest; (b) should you register, maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or other account identifiers that you choose or that are otherwise assigned to you as a result of any registration or purchase made through the website; and (c) should you register, all activities that occur under such password(s) or account(s). Further, you agree to notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account of which you are or become aware. SHHC shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of, or in connection with, your failure to comply with this section.

 

MAKING PURCHASES THROUGH THE WEBSITE:

You may only make purchases through the website if you are over the age of legal majority in the province/territory where you reside. You may only purchase or order items for personal, non-business purposes.  Purchases will only be shipped to a valid mailing address within Canada excluding Quebec.  However, we may not be able to ship to all areas within Canada and at this time we are not able to ship to Quebec. In the event we are not able to ship to the shipping address you provide, we will notify you, your order will be cancelled, and you will receive a refund in respect of your purchase if you have already been billed for your Order (unless you provide an alternate eligible shipping address). We reserve the right not to offer expedited or other forms of shipping. After an order is placed, we will attempt to verify all the details submitted. In the event that an order cannot be properly verified, we will contact you by e-mail; if you cannot be reached for verification, we reserve the right to cancel the associated order. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts on the website are in Canadian Dollars.

By completing a purchase transaction (“Order”) through the website, you are agreeing to pay, in full, the prices and all applicable taxes and specified shipping and handling fees specified in relation to your Order, either by credit card or other permitted payment method. Payments are processed by our trusted third party service provider and SHHC does not collect your financial information.  

We reserve the right to change the permitted methods of payment, including without limitation, the credit cards we are able to accept, at any time. If complete payment for your Order is not received and verified by us, your Order will not be processed.  If you do not complete or improperly complete your Order it may not be accepted or acknowledged.  

In order to complete an Order, you may be required to provide certain additional information that is required to process your Order.  For example, you will be required to provide valid payment information (e.g. a valid credit card number and expiration date) to facilitate payment.  

Please note that merchandise is only held for you once you have completed your Order. Adding an item or items to your shopping cart (“Cart”) does not reserve such item(s) for you or guarantee that you will be able to purchase such item(s) at a later date. An item can sell out while it's sitting in your Cart.  If an item was removed from your Cart, this may mean that we have sold out prior to you completing your Order. We reserve the right to change the prices offered on the website at any time, including without limitation, items that have been placed in your Cart.

You will be billed for your Order at the time your Order is shipped. You will be responsible for all applicable taxes related to your Order.  Applicable taxes will be charged at the time you are billed.  Applicable sales tax will also be applied to the shipping and handling, return shipping and gift packaging charges. Taxes may depend on delivery location.  

PC Optimum points earned on your Order will be calculated at the time your Order is shipped and will appear on your PC Optimum account within 5 business days after purchase. PC Optimum points are awarded on purchases of eligible products made through the website when your PC Optimum account information is provided at the time of purchase. PC Optimum  points are not able to be redeemed on the site.

While we have tried to accurately display the colours of products, the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor and may not be accurate.

 

SUBSCRIPTIONS:

During your use of the website, you may choose to participate in our subscription program. Not all items are available for subscription. Items that are available by subscription will be identified on the website. If you choose to set up a subscription, you will choose the product, amount, and frequency associated with the order.  A subscription will effectively set up a recurring order of the products and amounts designated by you, the user. A notice will be sent to your email address to confirm your subscription. Additionally, you will receive a notice in advance of each recurring order indicating the product, quantity and price. When you receive this notice, you can opt out of this delivery or the entire subscription any time before the order is processed, the date of which will appear on the notification. It is your responsibility to correctly choose the items and quantities for the subscription, and to monitor any notification e-mails that are sent to you. SHHC is not responsible for any customer errors in ordering.

DELIVERY:

The estimated delivery time will be specified in your Order; however, as we use a third party to deliver Orders, it is possible that your Order will arrive before or after the estimated delivery time.  We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver your Order as quickly as possible within the time period(s) indicated; however, we will not be responsible for any delays in delivery which are beyond our control. If you do not receive your Order within 10 days of the estimated delivery time, please let us know. Please note that multiple Orders may not always be shipped together.  In addition, depending on the size of your Order you may receive several shipments to complete your Order.

 

OUR RIGHTS REGARDING ORDERS:

Without limiting the generality of these Terms, we reserve the right to limit or refuse any Order you place with us.  Further, we reserve the right to verify the validity of all Orders and cancel any Order if we find evidence of fraud, tampering and/or any other violation of these Terms.  We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per Order. These restrictions may include Orders placed by or under the same account, the same credit card, and/or Orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.  We also reserve the right, in our discretion, not to ship items ordered or purchased through the website to certain addresses. In the event that we are unable to or choose not to ship an item, you will be notified accordingly and the amount for that item charged in relation to your Order will be reduced accordingly.
