PERMISSION TO USE THE WEB SITE


You may use the Web Site only if you are a resident of Canada, have reached the age of majority where you live and you can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. You may not use the Web Site if you live in a jurisdiction where access to or use of the Web Site or any part of it may be illegal or prohibited. It is solely your responsibility to determine whether your use of the Web Site is lawful, and you must comply with all applicable laws. Doris reserves the right to request proof of identification and age.

OWNERSHIP AND PERMITTED USES OF THE WEB SITE


The Web Site (including all content, page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts and the presentation, arrangement, coordination, enhancement and selection of such and other information in text, graphical, video and audio forms, images, icons, software, designs, applications, data, and other elements available on or through the Web Site) is the property of Doris and its Affiliates and Providers and others, and is protected by Canadian, U.S. and international copyright, trade-mark and other laws. Your use of the Web Site does not transfer to you any ownership or other rights in the Web Site or its content. The Web Site is made available to you for your lawful, personal use only. You may use the Web Site only in the manner described expressly in this Agreement and subject to all applicable laws. Using the Web Site for any other purpose or in any other manner is strictly prohibited.
You may print Web Site pages provided that you do not modify any of the pages and you do not remove or alter any visible or non-visible identification, marks, notices, or disclaimers. The Web Site and its content may not be copied, imitated, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, modified, indexed, catalogued, mirrored or distributed in any way, in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of Doris. You may not use any of the software that is used in the operation or provision of the Web Site except while you are using the Web Site in accordance with this Agreement.

MISPRINTS, ERRORS, AND PRICES


Although Doris strives to provide reliable and current information through the Web Site, misprints or other errors may occur. Accordingly, Doris reserves the right to change the prices, fees and charges associated with the Web Site at any time and from time to time without any notice or any liability to you or any other person. If you order a product for which the price was incorrectly displayed on the Web Site, or which is unavailable, Doris will provide you with an opportunity to cancel your order.
All prices and other amounts appearing on the Web Site are quoted in Canadian dollars. The total price of your order, which will appear on the completed order form, will include the price of the ordered products plus all applicable taxes and delivery charges. Taxes will be calculated based on the ship-to location, and the sales tax rate in effect at the time of shipping. Delivery charges will be calculated according to the then current delivery charge schedule.

ORDERING AND PAYMENT


The Web Site contains invitations for purchase orders, not offers to sell. Your properly completed and delivered order form constitutes your offer to purchase the products referenced in your order. Doris will indicate its acceptance of your order by displaying a confirmation page, which you should download and keep for your reference, and by sending a confirmation email to the address specified on your order form. Doris will ship the products you order to the delivery address stated on your order form. Delivery addresses must be in Canada only and cannot be post office boxes or rural routes.
Because Doris strives to fill your order as quickly as possible after it has been accepted, you may not cancel an order after Doris has sent an order confirmation email to your email address. If you wish to cancel an order that has not yet been accepted, you may request a cancellation by sending an email to: ordersinfo@secretlegwear.com or calling 1-877-327-3880. However, Doris may not receive and process your cancellation request before it accepts and processes your order, in which case your cancellation request will not be effective.
You may pay for your purchase with the following credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, and American Express. The purchase payment will be charged to your credit card only if and when your order is delivered to you.
Doris will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by you arising from or relating to any delay or failure in performance caused by circumstances beyond Doris's reasonable control or any delay in the delivery of any products you order through the Web Site, where such liability limitation is permitted by law.

YOUR INFORMATION

Doris, its Affiliates and Providers will rely on the information you provide.
