General Terms & Conditions (Agreement) for Dealers

For the purpose of this Agreement Prism RC Inc., operating as Hi-Performance Distributors, shall be referred to as "HPD" and any entity buying products and/or receiving services from HPD shall be referred to as "Account", jointly referred to as the "Parties" and each individually as the "Party." Unless otherwise stated or agreed, it is understood that any times listed in this document are for the time zone in which HPD is headquartered.

Order Types:

Ship Out Order:

HPD strives to release Ship Out Orders the same day if they are placed by noon on the HPD website or sales@hpd.ca, Monday through Friday (excluding statutory holidays). Orders placed after noon may be shipped the following business day. Please note that delays may occur during heavy volumes (including some Mondays). Once an order is in picking status, the order may not be cancelled, in part or whole. Cancellations may result in re-stocking fees.

Add-on Order:

Add-on Orders may be submitted within 15 minutes of a Ship Out Order submission to be shipped with the initial Ship Out Order. One Add-on Order may be acceptable daily for same-day shipping after the 15-minute window of the initial Ship Out Order. The Add-on order must be received no later than noon and the initial Ship Out Order must still be in picking status. The Add-on order shall not exceed 100 Moments of Fun (items on the order). Add-on Orders submitted after noon may not ship with the initial Ship Out Order on the day they were submitted.

Hold Order:

Hold Orders are an account privilege for eligible accounts. Maximum hold periods may apply. Hold Orders are not processed for shipping upon submission. Inventory on a Hold Order is allocated to the Account. An Account may add available stock to its oldest Hold Order by submitting additional Orders. Should HPD not receive the request to ship the oldest Hold Order within the allowed hold period, the items on the order will be released into inventory. The Account may cancel items on Hold Orders without penalty, except for Special Order Items. HPD reserves the right to suspend that privilege after repeat abuse.

Backorder:

HPD allows Accounts to place products on Backorder when the product is unavailable at the time of order. Accounts will be notified as soon as backordered products become available. Upon availability, Backorders will follow the Hold Order procedure.

Special Order Items:

Accounts may order items not stocked by HPD and follow the Backorder procedure. Special Order Items may not be cancelled without a restocking fee if they are already processed or are en route from the vendor. The restocking fee is 50% of the price of the item. Any Special Order Item not shipped within the hold bin time frame will be charged the restocking fee when the item is released into inventory.

Price Adjustments:

The Account acknowledges that pricing is subject to fluctuations, and HPD reserves the right to adjust pricing until invoicing.

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP):

The Account acknowledges that certain products may be subject to manufacturer MAP and that when purchasing said products, the Account must adhere to the manufacturer's MAP policy. The Account is responsible for verifying if MAP is applicable and the respective manufacturer's MAP policy, including, but not limited to, all guidelines and potential repercussions for failure to adhere to said policy.

Resale Restrictions:

The Account acknowledges that certain products may be subject to manufacturer Resale Restrictions and that, when purchasing said products, the Account must adhere to the manufacturer's Resale Restrictions policy. The Account is responsible for verifying Resale Restrictions, if applicable, and the manufacturer's Resale Restrictions policy, including, but not limited to, all guidelines and potential repercussions for failure to adhere to said policy.

Delivery and Shipping:

Delivery Terms:

The delivery of the products and services shall be carried out on FOB origin from HPD's warehouse located at 100-2268 Peardonville Rd, Abbotsford, BC, V2T 6J8, Canada. Since FOB origin is the standard shipping term, products are uninsured, and risk for damage is assumed by the Account as soon as the product leaves HPD's warehouse. Upon request, cargo insurance may be added at an additional cost to the Account.

Delivery Methods:

HPD compares shipping rates with different carrier services and ships with the best quote. Only HPD approved shippers and shipping accounts may be used for deliveries. The Account may specify a preferred approved carrier at their expense. HPD will charge back to the Account any additional costs that may arise from circumstances including, but not limited to, address issues, unsafe destination conditions, tailgate fees, store hours, or other reasons outside the control of HPD. HPD supports drop shipping to the Account's customers within Canada. Drop-ship orders must be entered online by the Account.

Shipping Discounts:

HPD covers the total shipping cost of uninsured shipments on orders worth more than CAD $1,000 before tax to approved store locations if shipped with cheapest carrier. HPD may cover the cost of uninsured shipments to drop ship locations based on the HPD retailer program benefits.

Additional Fees:

An additional CAD $10.00 handling fee is applied to Ship Out Orders worth less than CAD $50.00 before tax. Additional fees may also apply for the transport of dangerous goods.

Payment Terms and Title Transfer:

All transactions between the parties shall be conducted in Canadian dollars (CAD). All product remains the property of HPD until paid in full. The timeline for payment, including due dates and payment amounts, will be listed on the respective invoice. Generally, HPD accepts pre-payments made by credit card (Visa & Mastercard) and electronic fund transfer. HPD accepts cheques and electronic fund transfers for clients with terms. Should a cheque bounce for any reason or a chargeback be applied to a credit card payment, HPD will charge the Account CAD $50.00 per occurrence. All overdue Accounts will be charged a 2% interest fee per month. HPD also reserves the right to review the Account's privileges, suspend product shipment and/or cancel unfulfilled orders upon failing to make payment. Further, HPD may consider terminating the Agreement for Cause and reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available, including, but not limited to, collection efforts through third-party collection agencies or legal action to recover the outstanding balance. Payment terms may be revoked at any time.

Product Returns and Credits:

If the Account is not satisfied with the delivered product, the Account may return the purchased product within 30 days of the product leaving the HPD warehouse. A 15% restocking fee applies. Discontinued products, DBOX products , and Special Order Items may not be returned. The remainder will be credited to the Account for future purchases. For products to be eligible for a return, they must be unopened, unused and in the same condition they were received. Items must be in original packaging with all accessories and tags intact (dealer added labels must be removed, including any residue). The Account is responsible for the cost of return shipping.
