Sales and Distribution to the United States Government

In any contract with the United States government or in any contract that is a subcontract of any tier under a United States government contract:

Per Vices Corporation only accepts those clauses of the United States Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) that the regulations themselves mandate be flowed-down to a party in Per Vices Corporation’s position, given all relevant limitations, including Per Vices Corporation’s status as a customer or a subcontractor, Canadian Controlled Corporation, and the size and type of contract; and
Per Vices retains proprietary rights in all technical data and computer software provided under such contract. Neither the United States government nor any higher-tier contractor under a United States government contract receives any rights in technical data or computer software beyond the rights provided to all commercial customers under these terms and conditions, except that Per Vices grants to the United States government the minimum additional rights required under the narrowest applicable provisions of the FAR or DFARS. Except as specifically agreed in writing, Per Vices will not provide certified cost and pricing data and therefore does not accept any Cost Accounting Standards, defective pricing, or audit requirements.

Title and Risk of Loss

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all Products will be shipped FCA (Incoterms 2010) (Per Vices’ premises) or as otherwise designated by Per Vices in a notice to you. Ownership of, and risk of loss with respect to, the Products shall pass to you upon delivery thereof by Per Vices to you or to a carrier for shipment to you, whichever is earlier, regardless of whether Per Vices will install or supervise the installment of the Products. Products held or stored by Per Vices for you shall be at your sole risk, and you shall be liable for the expense to Per Vices of holding or storing Products at your request.

Damaged Shipments

We take care in testing and package all of our outgoing shipments. If a shipped order arrives with obvious damage, please refuse to accept it and the shipping company will return the merchandise to Per Vices. Please contact us and we shall arrange to ship a replacement product. Note carefully: Risk of damage or loss is transferred immediately upon delivery of product to first carrier. (In case of obvious damage please do not accept the shipment, or note such damage on manifest prior to accepting. In either case, please contact us.)

Warranty & Return Policy

Our intention is to provide the highest quality products; all hardware is individually tested and verified to work prior to shipping. Per Vices warrants to you that for thirty days (30) days from the date title to the Product passes, each Product sold hereunder will be free of defects in materials or workmanship, and conform to those specifications published or agreed to at the time title passes. Per Vices’ sole liability and responsibility under this warranty is to repair or replace any Product that is returned to it by you, and that we determine is defective by reason of manufacturing or workmanship. Product returned to Per Vices will be shipped to Per Vices at your expense, and will be returned at Per Vices’ expense. The obligation to honour this warranty is contingent upon receipt of payment in full for shipped products. The warranty of replacement products shall terminate with the warranty of the product, or fifteen (15) days from the date title of the replacement product passes to you, whichever is greater.

Order Changes or Cancellations

We aim to ship orders as quickly as possible. It is critical you immediately email us to cancel or change your order. We do reserve the right to cancel an order prior to shipping. In the unlikely event we cancel your order we shall immediately notify you (generally by email) and refund the order. Order changes or cancellations are not possible after we ship the order.
