Dealer Agreement
Any breach or default by you of any of the provisions of the dealer agreement between us (the "Dealer Agreement") will be deemed a default under this Agreement, and any breach or default by you under this Agreement will likewise be deemed to be a default under the Dealer Agreement.
Security
Miles Industries Ltd. cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. We use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information and we believe that these steps will keep you safe. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
Links to Other Web Sites and Services
We would never intentionally include a link on our Site to any company that we would not want to do business with. That being said, we do not control the companies who may have links from our Site, so we cannot be held responsible for your dealings with any of those companies and you should not consider any link as an endorsement by us of any of those companies.
Prohibited Use
These Terms expressly prohibit certain uses of the Site. You may not under any condition, without prior written consent by Miles Industries Ltd. use or reuse Miles Industries Ltd. product listings, descriptions or prices; mine the Site for data; download, copy, mirror, archive, intercept or redirect content or use or access an unauthorized account or purchase product for resale. The use of bots, spiders other indexing agents or other devices to copy the Site or to hide your identity when accessing the Site is also strictly prohibited. You agree you will impose only the load on the site which is necessary for your use in deciding whether to purchase products from us and in purchasing products from us.
Intellectual Property
We respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe that anything posted on the Web Site by another user (or any content for that matter) violates any of your intellectual property rights, please let us know so that we can resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Your Responsibility
Because our Site is available to our dealers across North America, we cannot keep pace with all of the legal requirements that may apply to use the Site in every jurisdiction. We therefore put the onus on you to ensure that your use of the Site complies with all rules, laws and regulations that are applicable to you. These Terms are void and use of the site is revoked where use is prohibited.
Typographical Errors
We will be the first to admit that we are not perfect – like everyone, we make mistakes from time to time. If there are typographical errors in product descriptions, prices or similar information, we will correct them as soon as possible after we discover them. If there is an error in the price of an outstanding order, we will either cancel the order or contact you to find out if you still want the product at the corrected price. If you find after you receive an order that something is not as we described it (or as you thought it would be), remember, you can return it at any time.
Returns, Refunds and Title
Subject as otherwise set out herein, you may return any non-custom, non-personalized item purchased from us. The return must, in the opinion of Miles Industries Ltd, be in resalable condition. Returns must be received by Miles Industries Ltd. within 30 days of the purchase date. Returns must be in the original packaging and free of any writing or otherwise defaced packaging. Miles Industries Ltd. does not take title to returned items until the point where that product arrives at our distribution center. At our discretion, we may issue a refund without requiring a return. In this situation, the customer keeps the title to the refunded item.
General Return Instructions
Returns will be credited to the purchase price and applicable taxes, less any restocking and/or packaging fees, to the original credit card or to your Valor Store account. Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable. All returns are subject to inspection and approval prior to the credit being issued. Any returns not-approved will be shipped back to the customers at their expense. Items incorrectly shipped back to Miles Industries Ltd. will be returned to the customer at their expense. Parts with electronic components are not eligible for return.
Defective or In-Warranty Returns
Defective, in-warranty items will be exchanged only. No credit will be issued for defective items. We require the model and serial number of the product the defective part was installed in, as well as the exact nature of the defect in detail.
Damaged Parts
You must inspect all packages when received and before signing for them. If you receive a package that appears damaged or contains products that are damaged, you must first notify the shipper and then notify Miles Industries Inc. within 2 business days of receipt. The incident will be documented and the shipper may decide to return the delivery to Miles Industries Inc. Without the incident documentation, subsequent damage claims may be difficult or impossible to prove later.
Wrong Parts
You must notify Miles Industries Ltd. within 5 business days of receipt of any part that is shipped in error or not received. Miles Industries Ltd. will not honor any such claim reported after 5 business days.
Unauthorized Use, Negligence or Fraud
Miles industries Ltd. shall in no way be liable or responsible for the misconduct, negligence or fraud of your employees, agents or other representatives and you hereby accept full responsibility for any and all such actions of your employees, agents or the representatives including, without limitation, any such actions that result in the requirement for you to pay for any orders of parts that are placed by any such employees, agents or other representatives through the Miles Industries Ltd. website or this Valor Store portal, whether or not such purchases were authorized by you.
Risk of Loss
The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier.
Assignment
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Miles Industries Ltd. without restriction.
Governing Law
Miles Industries Ltd. and our Site are based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Even though you may be accessing the Website from somewhere else, these Terms are governed by the laws of BC and in the unlikely event we have any kind of dispute it can be heard only in the courts located in BC. Also, the fact that the Website may be available to users outside of BC should not be interpreted as giving any other Province or country jurisdiction over us.
Arbitration
Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of the Terms shall be finally settled by arbitration in the Province of BC, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of arbitrators. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no claim under these terms of use shall be joined to any other claim, including any claim involving any other current or former user of the web site, and no class action proceedings shall be permitted. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you be instituted more than three (3) years after the cause of action arose. By using the site, you understand and agree that by entering into this agreement, you are waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
Severability
These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with our site shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Miles Industries Ltd. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver
No waiver of any portion of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Miles Industries Ltd. failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Proposition 65 Warning
Products sold on this site may be used for natural gas and propane engines which contain trace levels of Benzene. Benzene is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information please visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
