  • Slight blister movement;
  • Minor printing variations;

  • Social-media platforms;
  • Manufacturers;
  • Distributors;

12. Website availability and security

We take reasonable steps to maintain the website and protect it against unauthorized access.

  • Available without interruption;
  • Completely free from technical errors;
  • Compatible with every device or browser;
  • Free from every security vulnerability; or

Access may be interrupted because of maintenance, updates, internet failures, cybersecurity events, Shopify outages or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for maintaining reasonable security over their devices, passwords and customer accounts.

13. Privacy and personal information

Personal information collected through the website is handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy law.

PIPEDA generally applies to private-sector organizations collecting, using or disclosing personal information during commercial activities, subject to its scope and exceptions. 

The Privacy Policy should explain:

  • What information is collected;
  • Why it is collected;
  • How it is used and disclosed;
  • Which service providers may process it;
  • How it is safeguarded;
  • How long it may be retained;
  • How customers may request access or correction; and

14. No guaranteed results

We do not guarantee that use of the website, purchase of a product or participation in a promotion will result in:

  • Successful acquisition of a requested model;
  • Distributor approval;
  • A particular resale result; or

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent legally permitted, PH8 Holdings Inc. and SIP N SHIFT PH8 will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising solely from:

  • Temporary inability to access the website;
  • Reliance on general collector information;
  • Independent third-party websites;
  • Changes in collectible market value;
  • Manufacturer release changes; or
  • Circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability relating to a purchase will not exceed the amount paid for the transaction giving rise to the claim.

This limitation does not apply to liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including rights relating to fraud, wilful misconduct, personal injury caused by negligence or mandatory consumer-protection obligations.

  • Ontario consumer-protection legislation;
  • Federal Canadian law;
  • Applicable sale-of-goods legislation;
  • Privacy legislation; or
  • Another law that applies to the transaction.

Where this Legal Notice conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the legal requirement will prevail.

Ontario rules for qualifying internet agreements require sellers to disclose information such as the supplier’s legal and operating names, telephone number, business address and available electronic contact information before the consumer enters the agreement. 

17. Governing law

This website and Canadian store are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario.

Any legal proceeding may be brought before a court or tribunal with lawful jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section prevents a consumer from relying on mandatory rights available in their province, territory or country where those rights legally apply.
