This website https://stratosfy.io (this “Site”) is operated by SnowM Incorporated, operating as Stratosfy, a Canadian Corporation, with its registered office in 2500, Solandt Road, Suite 210, Kanata, Ontario, Canada – K2K 3G5(“Stratosfy”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). The Site offers and comprises product information and product management, user accounts, content, data reporting, other educational materials, and a shop where you can purchase our technology-based products, including, among others, devices and software.

These Terms of Sale and Service (“TOS”), together with our Privacy Policy and Returns & Warranty, collectively, form the agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and us, and govern your purchase of our devices and your access to and use of the Site offered by us, to you or the entity (company, institution, organization or other entity) you represent (“you” or “your”). By accessing or using the Site or purchasing Devices, you agree to the Agreement. You also agree that you have the authority to bind the organization you represent to the terms stated in the Agreement.

If you do not agree to the Agreement, you are prohibited from accessing and/or making any purchases via the Site.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, AN ARBITRATION PROVISION CONTAINING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Modification of Agreement

Stratosfy may modify this Agreement from time to time and will make a reasonable attempt to notify you by making the revised version available via the Site, and an updated revision date will indicate that changes have been made. The new Agreement will be effective when posted. Your use of the Site after any such modifications or revisions are posted shall indicate your acceptance of any modified or revised terms of the Agreement. If you do not agree to the modified or revised terms, then do not access or use this Site. Stratosfy may also terminate this Agreement at any time without notice to you. In the event of termination, you are no longer authorized to access the Site, and the restrictions imposed on you with respect to the Site and Devices, including the disclaimers, limitations of liabilities, and export restrictions stated in this agreement shall survive.

Order Placement     

You can purchase our products by visiting our website(the “Website”) and filling out an appropriate order form (the “Order”). Once you file the Order, Stratosfy shall promptly send electronic confirmation accepting the Order as well as setting final terms of its performance (“Confirmation”). Confirmation may contain in particular: the estimated date of shipment and delivery, the gross price for the ordered Devices, delivery costs, taxes as well as any other information relevant to the Order that may be foreseen at the date of the issuance of the Confirmation. In no event shall Stratosfy be held liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the content of the Order.   

Any adjustment of the Order shall be subject to an explicit written acceptance of Stratosfy. For the avoidance of doubt, the lack of Stratosfy’s response shall not be deemed as an acceptance of a request for Order modification.  

Order Suspension and Cancellation

There may be rare occasions when Stratosfy confirms your Order but subsequently learns that it cannot supply the ordered devices. We will reach out to you to arrange for a substitute solution or rearrange the delivery schedule. In the event we cannot agree on the new arrangements or supply the devices ordered, Stratosfy will cancel the Order and refund your purchase price in full and Stratosfy shall no liability towards you for any damages related to order suspension and cancelation.

Stratosfy shall be entitled to suspend the performance of an Order in the situation of your improper performance of the Agreement until all infringements and their effects are redressed in a way satisfactory to Stratosfy. In case of any unforeseeable circumstances beyond Stratosfy’s control that make it impossible, harmful, or unreasonably difficult for Stratosfy to perform the Order, the period for the performance of the Order shall be automatically prolonged by the time of the duration of the aforesaid circumstances, or the Order shall be canceled, as decided by Stratosfy in its full discretion.

  If Stratosfy cancels an Order after you have already been billed, Stratosfy will contact you directly to explain the issue and refund the billed amount if no other solution is agreed to by Stratosfy and you.

The maximum number of devices that can be purchased via our website is 100 (“Maximum Quantity”).            

In case of non – standard quality or above the Maximum Quantity Orders, the production and shipping timetable for any such orders shall be discussed and agreed upon separately in advance in writing before production for such Devices commences. Contact us at support@Stratosfy for any inquiries.      

Payment           

While placing your order you will be asked to provide your payment information. We accept all major credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Maestro. In some cases, we can also allow you to pay via a regular bank transfer.     

Please note that, in addition to the price for the Devices and shipping, if applicable, you are responsible for the payment of all taxes, levies, fees, and customs costs that may arise in connection with your Order.     

The prices shown are in U.S. dollars. Please note that the total purchase price may fluctuate with exchange rates if your account is in a different currency. In addition, your bank or credit card issuer may also charge you foreign conversion charges and fees, which may also increase the overall cost of your purchase. Please contact your bank or credit card issuer regarding these fees.

Pricing and Price Reductions/Corrections

Stratosfy reserves the right to change prices for products displayed on the website at any time and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur.           

Performance and Shipment of the Order       

Stratosfy shall use its best endeavors to send ordered Devices pursuant to the Confirmation and the Agreement, in particular, to deliver them as fast as possible, in a package that ensures their safety and integrality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that the delivery time may be prolonged by the time of duration of an obstacle due to circumstances beyond the control of Stratosfy, i.e. unexpected, prolonged, or numerous custom inspections or unforeseeable disturbances in transport. We are not responsible for the customs arrangements in your jurisdiction and have no control over this process.           

You acknowledge that Stratosfy shall not be obliged to perform the Order until all due payments for the Order are received.

Delivery

Either you or one of your employees or agents authorized to pick up the consignment (all referred to as the “Recipient”) shall confirm the receipt of the Order by a personal signature on the bill of lading. The recipient is obliged to examine carefully the delivered Devices upon their receipt, both in terms of their quality and quantity.

The recipient shall report immediately to the shipping handler and Stratosfy. (via e-mail and/or telephone) all apparent damage, defects, or discrepancies of the consignment suggesting damage or defects of Devices and/or quantitative discrepancies of the consignment, as well as to confirm this fact on the bill of lading. Stratosfy shall review the complaint. Only if the Recipient fulfills its reporting obligations and Stratosfy establishes that the facts of the case indicate that the complaint is justified, Stratosfy shall at its own expense immediately replace the defective units of Devices or send any missing number of units. Other ways of compensation for incomplete or defective Orders are explicitly excluded.

Risk of Loss; Responsibilities

Once these Devices leave our premises, you assume full responsibility for all claims, loss, damage, liability, or expense arising from your acts, negligence, or omissions and your employees or agents, and shipping agents, relating to transportation, handling, storage, maintenance and use of the delivered Devices, formalities related to custom controls and other legislative requirements.

Battery Replacement

The batteries in some of our Devices are replaceable without special tools and you can do it on your own. While the replacement process itself is simple and easy enough, you should take care to safely remove and replace the coin cell battery in order to ensure the Device will function properly after replacement. If you mishandle or damage the Devices when replacing the battery, we cannot guarantee that the Device will function after the battery is replaced and our Warranty (as described in the Returns & Warranty document) will not cover the damage.

We use standard batteries which should be available anywhere in the world. If you ever need new batteries and cannot find suitable replacements, just contact us we’ll help you find the right kind.

Devices with Irreplaceable Batteries

Some Devices have batteries that are not replaceable by the user either because of the special nature of the battery or because the case is not designed to be opened. For such Devices, Stratosfy can only guarantee that the hardware will perform as designed for the life of the device. Once the battery has discharged itself, it is incumbent upon the owner of the Device to take the Devices and battery to an appropriate recycling facility.

The arbitration shall be subject to the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991, and not any other arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the CAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes collectively, the “Rules and Procedures”

You must abide by the following rules: the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Stratosfy may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award, and each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Stratosfy may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other Party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in the Province of Ontario. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in the Province of Ontario in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the Province of Ontario for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Stratosfy Account.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in a court located in the Province of Ontario.

Jury Trial; Class Action Waiver

Further, unless both you and Stratosfy agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Force Majeure

Stratosfy shall not be in breach of the Agreement nor be liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under the Agreement if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances, or causes beyond its reasonable control. In such circumstances, the time for performance shall be extended by a period equivalent to the period during which performance of the obligation has been delayed or failed to be performed.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, without giving regard to its conflict of laws rules.

In the event that any provision of the Agreement becomes or is declared by a court to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without the said provisions, and Stratosfy together with you shall replace the aforesaid provision by the provision that is in accordance with law and reflects as closely as possible the invalid provision.   

The terms and conditions set out in the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) are hereby expressly excluded.

No waiver of any breach hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach hereof.   

Section headings are provided for convenience only, and shall not be used to construe the meaning of any section.
