(“FloorBox”) and its suppliers’ ( “Suppliers”) products as sold through www.TheFloorBox.ca (the “Website” or “Site”). As a condition of Your purchase of products from the Website, You accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Sale. These Terms of Sale are subject to change at any time and without prior written notice, at FloorBox’s sole discretion. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF SALE YOU ALSO AGREE TO ACCEPT THE WEBSITE TERMS OF USE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT:www.thefloorbox.ca/terms_of_use     

1. Product Presentation and Pricing:

  • Product Pricing:
    1. The price of a product shown on the Site represents the full retail price for the product as set by FloorBox and/or the manufacturer or supplier of the product in question and is based on standard industry practice or the estimated retail value for a comparable product offered elsewhere (the “Price List”).
    2. Notwithstanding any contrary information indicated in these terms of sale, the price displayed does not include shipping and handling charges, customs duties, and other taxes applicable to your order.
    3. You acknowledge that placing an item in a cart on the Website does not reserve the List Price for the subject product shown at that time for a future purchase. It is possible the List Price of the item in Your cart may increase or decrease between the time You place the item in Your cart and the time You actually purchase the product in question. The final and total cost of the order will be adjusted according to this variation higher or lower.
  • Site Content and Product Descriptions:
    1. FloorBox is not liable for any errors on and/or omissions from the Site, including but not limited to any product presentation page for any product listed for sale on the Site.

FloorBox does not guarantee that any product description or content on the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or free of error.
    2. FloorBox is under no obligation to fulfill an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect List Price.

However, FloorBox cannot guarantee that the colour, texture, or detail You see match that of the actual product. Differences in colour, texture, and details may occur, as a result of but not limited to the computer monitor used to view the products on the Site and the display settings and capabilities of such monitor.
