Terms of Use

Welcome to the C. & J. Clark Canada Limited (“Clarks”) website, located at clarkscanada.com (the “Site”). Please carefully read and review the following terms and conditions (collectively, the “Terms”), as they govern your use of our Site. By accessing our Site, you agree to abide by these Terms. If at any time you do not agree to these Terms, please refrain from entering or using our Sites.

YOUR USE OF THE SITE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

GENERAL USE AND CHANGES TO OUR SITE

Many of the products displayed on our Site can be found in Clarks licensed stores and in the stores of our authorized retail partners in Canada. In certain instances, merchandise may be available for purchase exclusively through our Site. Products are subject to availability, as some of the displayed merchandise may be out-of-stock, discontinued, or unavailable in your size. Clarks does not represent or warrant that any products displayed on our Site will be available, through the internet or in any of our licensed or approved stores, at any specific time.

MAKING PURCHASES THROUGH THE SITE

You may only make purchases (each an “Order”) through the Site if you are over the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence.

All Orders made through the Site are subject to these Terms, as well as any other applicable terms and conditions outlined on the Site relating to the Order. Pricing and other terms and conditions relating to the purchase, return, refund, or delivery of your Order may be changed at any time without notice. Prices may differ from those for purchases made through other channels.  

You have a legal obligation to pay for any Orders indicated to be made by you. In order to complete an Order through the Site, you may be required to provide certain additional information that is required to process your Order. For example, you will be required to provide valid payment information (e.g. a valid credit card number and expiration date) to facilitate payment of your Order. By completing an Order through the Site, you are agreeing to pay, in full, the prices and all applicable taxes and specified shipping and handling and other fees in relation to your Order, either by credit card or other permitted payment method.  

You will be billed for your Order at the time your Order is placed. You will be responsible for all applicable taxes related to your Order. Applicable taxes will be charged at the time you are billed. Applicable sales tax will also be applied to the shipping and handling, return shipping or other charges. Taxes may depend on delivery location.

Clarks reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to change the permitted methods of payment, including without limitation, the credit cards and/or other types of payment options we are able to accept, at any time. If complete payment for your Order is not received and verified by us, your Order will not be processed. If you do not complete or improperly complete your Order it may not be accepted or acknowledged.

Please note that merchandise is only held for you once you have completed your Order. Adding an item or items to your shopping cart (“Cart”) does not reserve such item(s) for you or guarantee that you will be able to purchase such item(s) at a later date. An item can sell out while it's sitting in your Cart. If an item was removed from your Cart, this may mean that we have sold out prior to you completing your Order. Clarks reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to change the prices offered on the Site at any time, including without limitation, items that have been placed in your Cart.

All prices are quoted in Canadian dollars and subject to change. In the event of any typographical pricing errors, omissions, or inconsistencies, Clarks reserves the right to refuse or cancel any Orders placed for products incorrectly priced, regardless of whether your credit card has been charged or a confirmation was sent.  In the event that your credit card was charged for the incorrect amount and your Order is cancelled, Clarks will reimburse your credit card for the full incorrect amount you were charged.

OUR RIGHTS REGARDING ORDERS

Clarks reserves the right to limit Order quantities, or to outright refuse Orders, without reason or prior notice. In the event such limitation or refusal occurs, we will attempt to get in touch with you using the contact information you provided to us. Customers of our Site are not authorized to purchase any items for resale purposes, nor are customers permitted to resell any products purchased through our Site. Orders placed by unauthorized vendors or resellers will not be honored.

Further, we reserve the right to verify the validity of all Orders and/or cancel any Order if we find evidence of fraud, tampering and/or any other violation of these Terms. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per Order with or without notice. These restrictions may include Orders placed by or under the same account, the same credit card, and/or Orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. We also reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, not to ship items ordered or purchased through the Site to certain addresses. In the event that we are unable to or choose not to ship an item, you will be notified accordingly and the amount for that item charged in relation to your Order will be reduced accordingly.

VERIFICATION OF ORDERS

All Orders are subject to verification by Clarks at any time and for any reason. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity (in a form acceptable to Clarks): (i) for the purposes of verifying the legitimacy of any Order and/or other information; and/or (ii) for any other reason we deem necessary, in our sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of fulfilling an Order in accordance with our interpretation of these Terms.

DELIVERY

Purchases will only be shipped to a valid mailing address in Canada, (as determined by Clarks in its sole and absolute discretion). However, please note that we may not be able to ship to all valid addresses and, in such circumstances, we reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to cancel your Order. We further reserve the right not to offer expedited or other forms of shipping.

The estimated delivery time will be specified in your Order; however, as we use a third party to deliver Orders, it is possible that your Order will arrive before or after the estimated delivery time. We will not be responsible for any delays in delivery which are beyond our control.

Please note that multiple Orders may not always be shipped together. In addition, depending on the size of your Order you may receive several shipments to complete your Order.

JURISDICTION/CHOICE OF LAW

These Terms are governed by the federal laws of the Province of Ontario, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions. All disputes or other actions arising from these Terms shall be adjudicated entirely in the courts in the Province of Ontario.

SEVERABILITY

The provisions of these Terms are intended to be interpreted in a manner which makes them valid, legal, and enforceable. In the event any provision of these Terms is found to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified or restricted to the extent and in the manner necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable. It is expressly understood and agreed between the parties that such modification or restriction may be accomplished unilaterally by us, or alternatively, by disposition of an arbitrator or a court of law. If such provision cannot under any circumstances be so modified or restricted, it shall be excised from the Terms without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.

Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or update the entirety of these Terms, or any portion of them, at any time and from time to time. We will notify you of any changes to these Terms by notice on this Site at least thirty (30) days before the modification comes into effect. In addition, if you have created an account, where required by law, we will provide you notice using email and/or your mailing address, or any other contact information we have for you in our discretion. Where required by law, this notice will be provided at least thirty (30) days before the change comes into effect (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law) and will set out the new clause, or the modified clause and how it read formerly, and the date on which the change will come into effect. Before the change comes into effect, you may cancel this agreement rather than accept the change. To the fullest extent permitted by law, as your sole remedy and where required by law, you may refuse the modification and rescind, or cancel the this agreement without cost, penalty, cancellation fee or cancellation indemnity, by providing us with notice to that effect no later than thirty (30) days after the modification comes into force, using the information in the notice, if the change results in increased obligations to you or a reduction of obligations on us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, your continued access to and/or use of the Site after the date specified in such notice constitutes your full acceptance of, and agreement to be legally bound by, these Terms, as modified.

Your continued use of this Site following notice of such change means that you agree to and accept these Terms as amended. If you do not agree to any modifications of these Terms, you must immediately stop using this Site.

CONFLICT OF TERMS

In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of these Terms and any other Clarks policies, notifications, or terms and conditions, the other policies, notifications, or terms and conditions which are specific to a particular product, service, contest or section of our Sites shall govern your use of that specific section.

ASSIGNMENTS

These Terms are not intended to grant any right or benefit to any third party, nor are they intended to extend any obligations or liabilities to any third party. Under no circumstances may you assign your rights, obligations, or liabilities under these Terms to any third parties without the express written consent of Clarks.

TERMINATION

This agreement, and these Terms, will remain in effect until terminated by either party. You or Clarks may terminate this agreement at any time, with or without notice. Clarks consequently reserves the right to deny, block, or prevent your access to our Sites or any portion of our Sites for any or no reason at all, and for as long as we deem necessary.
