RISK OF LOSS

The risk of loss and title for items purchased from Écono Coop pass to you when we deliver the items to the carrier. If the items cross an international border, the risk of loss and title transfer to you after customs clearance in Canada.

RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND TITLE

Title to returned items transfers to Écono Coop only when they arrive at our fulfillment facility. We may issue a refund, at our discretion, without requiring a return. In such cases, title to the refunded items does not transfer to Écono Coop.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

Écono Coop attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Écono Coop does not warrant that product descriptions or any other content of any Écono Coop Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Écono Coop is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in its original condition.

PRICING
The term “Price” refers to the suggested retail price of a product provided by the manufacturer, supplier, or seller. We regularly compare the Prices to recent prices listed on Écono Coop and to prices from other retailers. For certain products, a mention of “Former Price” is displayed: this price is based on the recent price history of the product on Écono Coop.

With respect to items sold on Écono Coop, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you make an offer to purchase it by placing your order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of items in our catalogue may be mispriced. If the correct price of an item sold on Écono Coop is higher than our stated price, we may, at our discretion, contact you for instructions before shipping the item or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Other merchants may follow different policies in the event of a pricing error.

We generally do not charge purchases to your credit card until the shipping process for your order has begun or, for digital products, until those products are made available to you.

Écono Coop assumes no responsibility for the acts, products, or content of these third parties or others.
