10. PAYMENT TERMS

Terms of payment for any Products purchased through this website shall be determined at the Company’s sole discretion. Payment shall be made by credit card unless some other pre-arranged method of payment has been accepted by the Company. Any payments made by credit card are subject to the approval of the financial institution that has issued the credit card.

11. SHIPPING AND TAXES

The Company will ship the Product(s) ordered by you according to the delivery method you have chosen and to the address indicated in the Order Confirmation. Express delivery for Canadian orders is 1-2 business days and Standard Delivery is 4-7 business days, and longer in the case of remote locations.

If you have ordered several Products we may deliver these Products in separate shipments as each item becomes available at no extra cost to you.
To ensure prompt delivery we must have proper and complete address details and make one delivery charge per delivery address. A daytime telephone number is required in case we or our delivery agents need to contact you. Delivery times provided by the Company are estimates only. The Company shall not be responsible for any damages or costs resulting from any delays in delivery.

In order to avoid lost packages, it is standard policy to request a signature for the packages we deliver. If no one is at the designated address at the time of delivery, the carrier will attempt to contact you to make alternative arrangements. It is understood and agreed that you as the customer accept this responsibility unless you specifically request a “signature-not-required” service, for which a small service charge may apply. At this time, such requests must be sent by e-mail at the time of purchase. Another option for customers is to put their daytime location (such as their work address) in the SHIPPING Address section of the Order information. The Company shall not be responsible for any damages or costs resulting from loss of the package after it is delivered to the address chosen by the customer, in the manner chosen by the customer.

Unless otherwise stated, all prices quoted do not include shipping and handling charges and applicable federal and provincial sales taxes. Separate charges for shipping and handling and taxes will be shown on the Order Confirmation for each order, as applicable. Canadian customers are responsible for all sales, use, goods and services, harmonized sales, and other taxes and duties associated with the order.

12. OWNERSHIP; RISK OF LOSS

All Product(s) purchased from the Viper-Kayaks.com website are delivered to you by a third party delivery company, pursuant to a shipping contract. You shall become the owner of the Product(s) and shall assume the risks of loss at the time of delivery by the Company of the Product(s) to the third party delivery company.

13. RETURNS

Each order will be accompanied with our return instructions. The Company offers (a) a full refund* or exchange on all regular priced online purchases of products if they are returned in the condition in which they were sold, in original packaging within 30 days and (b) an exchange or credit note on all sale priced or discounted online purchases of Products returned in the condition in which they were sold, with original tags**, within 14 days of purchase. 

Credit notes would be for the lesser of 
a) the amount originally paid, or 
b) the current ticketed price of the item(s) in question.

*The company will reimburse your freight costs only if we were at fault. If an item is returned for refund, and it was originally sent to you with free shipping, the Company may deduct the cost of standard shipping from the refunded amount, unless we were at fault.

An e-mail must be sent to [email protected] requesting authorization for return, detailing the reasons for the request and providing daytime and evening phone numbers in case the Company needs to reach you. The subject line of the e-mail should be “RA – Order number xxxxx (put actual order number here). The Company will then issue a Return Authorization Number (RAN) which must be written on the original invoice you received and this invoice must accompany the piece(s) returned.
