1. APPLICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITONS OF SALE
The following terms and conditions shall govern the sale by Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Co ("HP" or "Seller") of orders for computer systems and/or related products and/or standard services (hereinafter "Product") sold to Customers located in Canada, unless Customer has signed a separate formal purchase agreement with HP. Certain additional terms may accompany the Product and shall apply.

By using hp.ca to make on-line purchases the Products, as defined herein, Customer agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Sale (referred to throughout as “Terms and Conditions”).

HP reserves the right to add, delete or amend these Terms and Conditions without prior written notice at any time, at HP's sole discretion.

“Customer” means any person ordering products from HP’s hpshopping.ca store for their own personal use and not for resale, either on-line or over the telephone, and who has not entered into a separate formal purchase agreement with HP.

“HP Products” means any hardware, software or services supplied by HP that is branded with the HP or Compaq trademark sold through the hpshopping.ca site.
"Third Party Products” refers to hardware, products or software supplied by HP under the brand name of a third party sold through the hpshopping.ca site.

“Products” means collectively both HP and Third Party Products sold through the hpshopping.ca.

2. QUOTES; ORDERS; PAYMENT TERMS
Subject to the terms contained in this section, any quotation provided by HP will be valid for the duration stated in the quotation. If no duration is stated, such quotation will be valid for 48 hours.

Although HP strives to provide accurate product and pricing information, errors or misprints may occur. HP cannot confirm the price of a Product until after you order the Product. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section 2, in the event that a Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, HP shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any orders, or part of an order placed or subsequently processed by HP for that Product and terminate the purchase agreement without further liability. In the event that a Product is priced in error or a Product information error occurs, HP may, at our sole discretion, contact you for instructions, cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation, terminate the purchase agreement and/or correct the error on our web site.

Payment shall be made by credit card or some other pre-arranged method of payment acceptable to HP. Where payment is made by credit card, such payment is subject to the approval of the financial institution issuing the credit card and HP shall not be liable in any way if such financial institution refuses to accept or honor the credit card for any reason.

If Customer has requested and been approved for consumer financing, such financing will be provided through a third party financing service provider and Customer will be subject to the terms and conditions of such financing service provider.

For the installation of in-home Products, such as televisions, HP may refer customer to an independent third party service provider to perform such installation. Any referral provided by HP is not an endorsement or guaranty of the service provider’s services. Customer will be subject to and bound by the service provider’s own terms and conditions.

3. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
Product availability may be limited. Products ordered may not be available for immediate delivery. HP reserves the right, without liability or prior notice, to revise or cease to make available any or all Products. If there are any revisions to or cessation of Products, HP may, with Customer’s consent, ship Products which have similar functionality and specifications to the Products originally ordered. Customer will be given the opportunity to either reject or accept the substitute Product and price for the substitute Product which may differ from the price of the original Product. Product substitutions will not be available for Factory Outlet or refurbished product purchases.

4. PRICES, SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES, RECYCLING FEES AND APPLICABLE TAXES
HP will only ship to Canadian locations: Products shipped may not be re-routed by customer. Prices quoted do not include charges for shipping and handling, electronic waste recycling fees to be remitted by HP under any provincial electronic waste recycling program and applicable federal and provincial taxes. Separate charges for shipping and handling, and electronic waste recycling fees, if applicable will be shown separately on the invoice.

Customer is responsible for all sales, use, goods and services, harmonized sales, and other taxes associated with the order. Unless Customer provides HP with a valid and correct tax exemption certificate applicable to the product ship-to location prior to HP’s acceptance of the order, the customer is responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order, however designated, except taxes on HP’s net income. If applicable, a separate charge for taxes will be shown on HP’s invoice.

Please Note: As of 11/02/12 an environmental recycling fee will appear temporarily on Quebec orders but you will not be charged the fee on your invoice.

5. PRODUCTS
HP's policy is one of on-going product update and revision. HP may revise and discontinue Products shown on our website at any time. HP will ship Products that have the functionality and performance of the products ordered, but changes between what is shipped and what is described in a specification sheet or catalog are possible. HP branded Products may contain used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability and are warranted as new.

6. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE; DELIVERY
Title in the Product and risk of loss shall pass to Customer and acceptance will occur upon delivery to the “ship to” address or, if special shipping arrangements are agreed to, upon delivery to Customer’s carrier or designee.

HP may deliver the Products ordered in installments. Any delivery or shipment dates given by HP are estimates only and HP is not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense for any failure to deliver in accordance with the given delivery or shipment date.

7. RETURN POLICIES
You may be able to return your HP Product for a replacement or refund if you strictly adhere to all of the terms and conditions below:

Products may be returned within thirty (30) calendar days of your invoice date, except Products purchased from the Clearance Centre or refurbished product area of hpshopping.hp.ca in which case the Product may be returned within ten (10) calendar days of your invoice date.
