Last update: May 10, 2021

General

Welcome to groupeuroit.ca ("Website"). These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Website and the sale of barbecues, fire tables and other related products and services ("Product(s)") between 9049-1135 Quebec Inc., doing business as "Groupe Suroît", operator of the Website and seller of the Product(s) on the one hand ("Groupe Suroît" or "we"), and the users of the Website or purchasers of the Product(s) on the other hand ("Customer" or "you").

Please read these Terms carefully, as they are binding on you when you use the Website and when you purchase any Products on the Website. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or make any purchase on the Website.

When you use the Website or make a purchase, you agree to comply with: (i) these Terms; (ii) any other policies that Groupe Suroît may adopt from time to time in relation to the Website; and (iii) any applicable laws or regulations related to your use of the Product or the Website, including without limitation copyright protection laws.

These Terms may be amended at any time by Groupe Suroît, to the extent permitted by law, in which case the most recent version will automatically replace the previous one. If we make any changes, we will take measures to notify you, either by a notice on the Website or otherwise. Your use of the Website after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. In the event that a Customer fails or refuses to accept the Terms in force at the express request of Groupe Suroît, his or her access to the functionalities of the Website, including the possibility of purchasing Products, may be suspended. 

The Website is intended only for persons of legal age and with the capacity to contract. Any use of the Website and creation of an account by a minor is strictly prohibited. By accessing, using or making a purchase on the Website, you represent and warrant that you have reached the age of majority in your place of residence.

You will need to create an account to purchase Products. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password and for all activities occurring under your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities. If you become aware of, or reasonably suspect, any intrusion on your account, including any theft, loss or unauthorized disclosure or use of your password, you must immediately notify us by contacting us as provided herein.

 

Product availability

Some Products may be available in limited quantities only. If a Product is no longer available in inventory at the time you place your order, the distribution center or an in-store advisor of Groupe Suroît will contact you to inform you of the status and of the next expected date of availability of the Product or, if possible, may offer an equivalent product. If the Customer prefers to cancel the order, Groupe Suroît will reimburse the full amount paid by the Customer, as well as the applicable taxes and fees (including delivery and installation, if applicable). The processing time for a refund varies depending on the Customer's financial institution.

 

Placement of order

The receipt of an order by Groupe Suroît does not automatically mean that the order is accepted. Groupe Suroît reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order within three (3) business days, in the event of the unavailability of a Product, the inability to deliver it, of an error in the entry of information allowing the identification of the Customer or in the price of the Product, in which case we will communicate with you to inform you and we will proceed with the full reimbursement of any amount that may have been collected at the time of the order.

An order cannot be modified or cancelled by the Customer, except following an express written agreement with Groupe Suroît, in which case administration fees of 30% of the value of the order will be payable.

Product purchases are also subject to Groupe Suroît's return and refund policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms and can be consulted at the following link: Privacy Policy

Product assembly

 

As a principle, the Products ordered will be pre-assembled by Groupe Suroît before being shipped to the Customer, except in cases where this service is not available or is offered as an option only to the Customer. In the event of such a possibility, the Customer who decides not to have the Product pre-assembled by Groupe Suroît acknowledges that he/she is purchasing it at his/her own risk and releases Groupe Suroît from any liability resulting from defective or inadequate assembly of the Product.

The assembly costs for a Product will be communicated to the Customer at the time of placing the order.

 

Price

Prices are indicated and payable in Canadian dollars. Unless otherwise mentioned, they do not include applicable sales taxes, assembly and delivery costs, which will be calculated according to the rate in force at the time of purchase. All prices are subject to change without prior notice.

Payment

When you purchase Products online, the full payment thereof as well as of all applicable fees and taxes is required at the time the order is placed, whether or not the Product is available in stock. In the event that a Product is not available, it will be refunded to you in the manner provided herein.

Payment for your purchase is made by Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card, via the secure section of the Website, using the online payment platform of Global Payment, a third-party service provider. The security of the credit card information provided during the purchase of a Product is governed by our privacy policy available at the following link: Private Policy , which you declare having read and accepted if you decide to complete the purchase of a Product.

You agree to pay the full cost and charges for the Products purchased. For security reasons and as a protection measure against fraud, purchases made by credit card are accepted only if the name and billing address match the name on the buyer's credit card and the address on the credit file. In the event that your payment cannot be validated, Groupe Suroît has no obligation to process your order.

Delivery

Delivery times generally vary between 5 and 15 business days from the time Groupe Suroît receives the full purchase price of the Products. The Customer may contact a Groupe Suroît customer service agent if he or she wishes to agree on a specific delivery date, being understood that any arrangement in this regard will be made based on its feasibility for Groupe Suroît. 

The delivery date may vary, in particular due to delays from manufacturers, place of delivery, type and number of Products purchased as well as public holidays. We only deliver when all Products in the order are ready to be delivered. We do not make partial deliveries. If, however, you wish to have the Products delivered in several shipments, you are invited to contact Groupe Suroît in order to check the possibility to arrange such. Additional delivery fees will be charged for each partial shipment. In the event that Groupe Suroît has made an appointment with the Customer for a delivery and that the Customer is absent at the time and place agreed upon, additional delivery fees equivalent to those initially charged will be applied for any additional attempt. In the event that the delivery was initially free of charge, any additional attempt due to Customer’s absence will be subject to the regular delivery charges. In all events, the then current delivery fee chart of Groupe Suroît will apply to determine the additional charges, which must be paid prior to delivery of the Products.

Any delivery delay mentioned to the Customer at the time of purchase is for information purposes only and Groupe Suroît cannot be held responsible for delivery delays or delivery defects resulting from circumstances beyond its control. Groupe Suroît will use reasonable means to ensure that delivery times are respected.

The Products offered on the Website are available for delivery in the province of Quebec only.

Warranty and safety of the Products

Groupe Suroît acts as distributor of the Products. All devices sold by Groupe Suroît are covered by the applicable legal warranty, if any. For more information, the Customer who would be a consumer within the meaning of the applicable law can refer to the site of the Office de la protection du consommateur at www.opc.gouv.qc.ca. Some Products (excluding among others accessories) are also guaranteed by a conventional manufacturer's warranty, which will be handed over to the Customer upon delivery along with the instructions for the use and maintenance of the Product.  All warranty claims must be made directly to the manufacturer.

The Products offered by Groupe Suroît may present certain inherent safety risks if they are not used, handled or installed properly. It is the Customer's responsibility to read the user and maintenance manual, the warranty of the Products and all safety warnings, if applicable, to ensure that he/she understands their content and respects their terms. You shall also be liable to determine whether you have sufficient technical formation, knowledge or experience for the installation and maintenance of the Products and, if necessary, to seek professional assistance.

 

Accuracy of information

Despite our best efforts, occasional errors in pricing, description, specifications or images of the Products may occur on the Website. These errors may be the result of typographical errors, errors in the pricing information received from our suppliers or for any other reason. Groupe Suroît is not responsible for these errors and reserves the right to revise and correct, if necessary, the prices and other errors as well as to cancel any order based on erroneous information. Also, although Groupe Suroît attempts to reproduce as faithfully as possible the colors of the Products displayed on the Website, it is important to note that the colors may vary from one device (such as a monitor) to another and that, as such, Groupe Suroît cannot guarantee that the colors visible on a device correspond to the actual colors of the Products.

In general, Groupe Suroît is committed to ensuring that the content of the Website is accurate, complete, up-to-date and secure. We implement the necessary measure to ensure that any error, inaccuracy or omission is corrected as soon as it is detected and brought to our attention, as well as to take reasonable technical means to protect the physical security and integrity of the Website's functionalities. However, Groupe Suroît does not guarantee that the information appearing on the Website is free of errors, inaccuracies or omissions. The Customer also recognizes and accepts that the security of transmissions via the internet cannot be guaranteed.

The Website may also be unavailable from time to time for maintenance, upgrades, hardware/software failures, repairs, power outages, hacking, denial of service attacks, unexpected high service demands or for any other reason. Morevover, we cannot guarantee that your use of the Website will meet your expectations or fit with the purpose for which you use it.

The Customer thus expressly accepts that any use of the Website involves certain risks and that the services offered by the Website are provided "as is" and “as available”. The Customer agrees to release Groupe Suroît  and its affiliates, directors, officers and employees from all liability, both contractual and extra-contractual, for any damages, including loss of income, profits or expected benefits, resulting from (i) inaccuracy of information or other element referred to on the Website, including any error in the Product’s price or description; (ii) delayed or deferred treatment of an order or inability to place it, and (iii) loss or corruption of data, message errors on the Website or unavailability of the Website.
