Deferred or redirected deliveries are at the sole discretion of IVC, and are not binding on IVC unless IVC agrees in writing. IVC shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages or loss caused by delay in delivery or failure to deliver, regardless of the cause of the delay or failure and whether it results from fire, flood, accidents, riots, the negligence of IVC or of any of its employees or agents, strikes, transportation delays, labour or material shortages or any other cause.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Products will not be accepted for return under any circumstances: (a) special order items; (b) non-stock Products; and (c) obsolete or used Products. If IVC decides in its sole discretion, the reasonableness of which is not subject to any inquiry or questioning by the Purchaser or any third party, to take back the Products, the Purchaser shall package the Products to be returned in a manner that will completely protect them from damage. Despite its prior consent to the return, IVC has the right either to reject the returned Products or to charge fees if in the opinion of IVC the Products sought to be returned are damaged from any cause whatsoever including without limitation improper packaging. The Purchaser shall pay all expenses and costs arising out of the return of any Products including all transportation charges and other expenditures directly or indirectly incurred by IVC.

CLAIMS FOR SHORTAGES: The Purchaser shall make all claims for shortages in writing (which includes particulars of the shortage) within 5 calendar days after receipt of the Products at the Purchaser’s warehouse. If notice specifying the particulars of the alleged shortage is not received by IVC within 5 calendar days after receipt of the Products by the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s warehouse, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have received in good condition all Products that were invoiced by IVC as being part of that shipment, and the Purchaser shall be barred from making any claims in connection therewith.

GOVERNING LAW: Orders/contracts shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable in Alberta.

WARRANTY: Products found to be defective due to faulty workmanship or material shall be replaced without charge, provided that in each case, IVC, acting reasonably, is satisfied that the Product had been properly installed, that the Product was used in the service for which IVC and the manufacturer of the Product recommended and that written notice specifying the alleged defects is presented to IVC within one year from the date of installation or 18 months from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first (the “Warranty Period”). The liability of IVC under the warranty provided herein is limited to replacing the defective Products or at IVC’ discretion, refunding the purchase price paid. The Purchaser hereby agrees that the warranty provided herein is in the nature of liquidated damages to which the Purchaser might otherwise be entitled at law or in equity, and in particular the Purchaser hereby agrees that in lieu of any action for fundamental breach of contract or breach of a fundamental term of a contract, the Purchaser will rely solely upon the warranty provided herein. IVC shall not under any circumstances be liable whether during the Warranty Period or after the Warranty Period for any claims for labour, installation costs, damages including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or profits, or other expenses incurred by reason of any Products found to be defective. This warranty shall not apply to any Product modified or changed in design or function after leaving IVC’ warehouse or to valve operators and components which are subject to the warranty conditions of the manufacturer.

CANCELLATION RESTRICTION: Orders of Products accepted by IVC for special alloy valves, valves and fittings not stocked by IVC are not subject to cancellation or change without the prior written consent of IVC (which IVC may give or withhold at its sole discretion) and upon terms which will protect, indemnify and hold IVC harmless from and against all consequential loss or damage.
