Orders will be invoiced at the price in effect at the time the orders are placed. Selling prices may be readjusted without notice during the year, for instance if transportation costs increase due to fuel surcharges.
Conditions of acceptance The acceptance, shipment or delivery of any order is conditional upon approval of MAAX's credit department and upon these sales terms and conditions applying to the order and not any others, unless specifically agreed to in writing by MAAX. MAAX reserves the right to require satisfactory security for performance of the buyer's obli- gations prior to making shipment on any order. Any sold mer- chandise remains the property of the seller until full payment is received.

Taxes All prices published are exclusive of applicable taxes.
Lost merchandise If, upon receipt, the recipient notices that certain products are missing, he must immediately notify our customer service department. The recipient must then indicate which products are missing on the delivery slip and countersign it. The enclosed bill of lading allows you to verify shipped and received merchandise.
Shipping damage Damage occurring in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. MAAX will not be held responsible for shipping damage. The product should be carefully examined by the user or installer at time of receipt to ensure it is damage free. If any damage is discovered, it should be noted on the freight bill, and a claim should be filed against the carrier as soon as possible.
Inspection of the unit prior to installation is the responsibility of the installer or building contractor who acts on behalf of the user, or the user himself. They are responsible for ensuring that the unit is free of defect or damage. In the event of a problem, the unit must not be installed. MAAX is not responsible for failures, costs, damages or claims that could have been discovered, repaired or avoided by proper inspection and testing prior to installation.
Returns Merchandise cannot be returned for any reason with- out written authorization from our customer service depart- ment. Any returned merchandise shall be liable to a 25% restock- ing fee and, if necessary, labor costs. MAAX will not accept the return of a non-custom product or a product that is not white, either with or without a basic massage system. All transporta- tion fees shall be paid by the originator.
Color variations MAAX shall not be responsible for varia- tions in granite color, wood grain, or color shades in the natural wood used; or for slight differences in color or texture of the material delivered in relation to the sample shown or provided to the purchaser. The purchaser may not use such differences to obtain a price discount or to cancel the order.

Design and dimensions
MAAX reserves the right to discontinue products at any time or change specifications and/or design without notice and without incurring obligation. All dimensions are approximate and sub- ject to change without prior notice.
Maintenance
Regular disinfections provide an effective defense against vari- ous types of bacteria susceptible of developing in the deposits that build up over time in all bathtubs and showers.
For daily maintenance cleaning, use a moist cloth and gentle liq- uid detergent.
For acrylic surfaces, occasional use of a special acrylic surface cleaner such as Lumashine or Lumacream will add luster and protect the finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrapers, metal brushes, or any items or products that could scratch or dull the surface.
To clean whirlpool piping, prevent residue build-up and extend the life and performance of whirlpool tubs, we recommend Mister MAAXTM cleaner, available from all MAAX dealers. When used monthly, Mister MAAXTM is considered an effective disin- fectant to clean whirlpool and jet air circulation systems.
If you have any maintenance-related problems, MAAX repre- sentatives will answer your questions and recommend the best solutions.
