Product description

Prices, descriptions or availability of Products are outlined in the respective sections of this Website and are subject to change without notice.

The characteristics of the chosen Product will be outlined during the purchasing process.

Purchasing process

Any steps taken from choosing a Product to order submission form part of the purchasing process.
The purchasing process includes these steps:

  • Users must choose the desired Product and verify their purchase selection.
  • After having reviewed the information displayed in the purchase selection, Users may place the order by submitting it.
Order submission

When the User submits an order, the following applies:

  • The submission of an order determines contract conclusion and therefore creates for the User the obligation to pay the price, taxes and possible further fees and expenses, as specified on the order page.
  • In case the purchased Product requires active input from the User, such as the provision of personal information or data, specifications or special wishes, the order submission creates an obligation for the User to cooperate accordingly.
  • Upon submission of the order, Users will receive a receipt confirming that the order has been received.

All notifications related to the described purchasing process shall be sent to the email address provided by the User for such purposes.

Prices

Users are informed during the purchasing process and before order submission, about any fees, taxes and costs (including, if any, delivery costs) that they will be charged.
Prices on this Website are displayed:

  • either exclusive or inclusive of any applicable fees, taxes and costs, depending on the section the User is browsing.
Offers and discounts

Sellers may offer discounts or provide special offers for the purchase of Products. Any such offer or discount shall always be subject to the eligibility criteria and the terms and conditions set out in the corresponding section of this Website.
Offers and discounts are always granted at the Seller’s sole discretion. Repeated or recurring offers or discounts create no claim/title or right that Users may enforce in the future. Depending on the case, discounts or offers shall be valid for a limited time only or while stocks last.

Coupons

Offers or discounts can be based on Coupons.

If breach of the conditions applicable to Coupons occurs, the Seller can legitimately refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations and expressly reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to protect its rights and interests.

Notwithstanding the provisions below, any additional or diverging rules applicable to using the Coupon displayed in the corresponding information page or on the Coupon itself shall always prevail.

Unless otherwise stated, these rules apply to the use of Coupons:

  • Each Coupon is only valid when used in the manner and within the timeframe specified on the website and/or the Coupon;
  • A Coupon may only be applied, in its entirety, at the actual time of purchase – partial use is not permitted;

  • A Coupon cannot be applied cumulatively;
  • The Coupon must be redeemed exclusively within the time specified in the offer. After this period, the Coupon will automatically expire, precluding any possibility for the User to claim the relevant rights, including cash-out;
  • The User is not entitled to any credit/refund/compensation if there is a difference between the value of the Coupon and the redeemed value;
  • The Coupon is intended solely for non–commercial use. Any reproduction, counterfeiting and commercial trade of the Coupon is strictly forbidden, along with any illegal activity related to the purchase and/or use of the Coupon.
Methods of payment

Information related to accepted payment methods are made available during the purchasing process.

Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases related information can be found in the dedicated section of this Website.

The Arbitration Provisions apply to all Users and Claims are governed by and shall be construed following the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The Terms of Service and the Arbitration Provisions continue to survive and apply after your relationship with CASTLEVIEW ends.

Before serving a demand for arbitration of a Claim, you agree to first notify Castleview of the Claim by email to [info@castleviewsolutions.com__], which must include all pertinent Account information as well as a sufficient description of the nature of the Claim so that Castleview may evaluate the merit of the Claim (a “Claim Notice”). Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, Castleview will seek informal voluntary resolution of the Claim.

In the unlikely event the parties are unable to resolve a Claim within 60 days following Castleview’s receipt of a Claim Notice, you agree to only seek further resolution of the Claim by final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall be selected by agreement between the parties and failing such agreement, after a period of 120 days following Castleview’s receipt of the Claim Notice and upon the request of either party, on the appointment of the Arbitration Place in Toronto, Ontario.

Arbitration shall be conducted in Toronto, Ontario. Any party will have the right to appear at the arbitration by telephone and/or video rather than in person.

The arbitrator must follow and apply laws of the Province of Ontario and may award only those remedies that would have applied had the matter been heard in court. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, no amendment to the Arbitration Provisions will apply to any matter pending in an arbitration proceeding brought under the Arbitration Provisions unless all parties to that arbitration consent in writing to that amendment.

These Arbitration Provisions are the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of Claims and all Claims shall be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court. The parties expressly agree that the arbitrator and not a court will decide any question of whether the User agreed to arbitrate its Claim, including but not limited to any Claim that all or part of these Arbitration Provisions or any other part of the Terms of Service is void or voidable.

In the event any portion of these Arbitration Provisions are deemed unenforceable, the remainder of these Arbitration Provisions will be enforceable. If any portion of the Class Action Waiver hereunder is deemed to be unenforceable, you agree that these Arbitration Provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Opt-Out of Arbitration Provision

You may opt out of the preceding Arbitration Provisions by notifying Castleview in writing within 30 days of the date you first registered for the Website. To opt out, you must send a written notification to Castleview at [info@castleviewsolutions.com]. that includes:

  2. Your name;
  3. Your address;
  4. Your telephone number;
  5. Your email address; and
  6. A statement saying that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Provision.
Class Action Waiver

You agree to bring any Claim on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis on behalf of others. There will be no right or authority for any Claim to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class or collective action, or as a member in any such class or collective proceeding (the “Class Action Waiver”).

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, disputes about the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity or breach of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

Castleview may lawfully seek enforcement of these Arbitration Provisions and the Class Action Waiver under the Arbitration Act (Ontario) and seek dismissal of class or collective actions or claims.
