LOOK LOCAL MARKETPLACE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Welcome to the Look Local Marketplace.

Look Local Marketplace offers a centralized marketplace allowing purchasers in a community to shop local and discover small businesses in a region.

Being able to shop multiple small businesses in one place, and checkout with one transaction, makes shopping local easy.

These terms and conditions of use apply to all visitors to our website at www.looklocal.ca  (the “Site”) as well as all users of our Look Local Marketplace services, whether you are a vendor (“Vendor”) or purchaser.

When a purchaser buys products or services at a Vendor’s virtual store in the Marketplace (each a “Store”) that purchaser is entering into a purchase agreement with the Vendor (each a “Vendor Agreement”) and is purchasing directly from the Vendor, not from Look Local Marketplace.

Each Vendor may have its own terms and conditions for the purchase and delivery of products or services from its Store through the use of the Marketplace (the “Vendor Terms”).  Look Local Marketplace does not endorse any Vendor and makes no representations or warranties about any Vendor or its products or services.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE MARKETPLACE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

These terms and conditions of use constitute a legal agreement and are entered into by and between you and Look Local Marketplace (“we,” “us,” “our”).

These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) govern your access to and use of our Site, including any content, functionality and services offered by us on or through our Site (such content, services and the site are collectively referred to as the “Marketplace”).

By using the marketplace, you accept and agree to be bound and comply with these terms and conditions and our privacy policy, found at www.looklocal.ca/privacy.

By making a purchase from a vendor store on the marketplace, a purchaser and the applicable vendor accept and agree to be bound and comply with the vendor agreement entered into by and between them.

Look Local has no control over the contents of a vendor store, the vendor terms or the vendor agreement and accepts no responsibility for the vendor’s products or services or for any loss or damage that may arise from any of them.

By using the Marketplace, you represent and warrant that you are the legal age of majority under applicable law to form a binding contract with Look Local Marketplace and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Marketplace.

You affirm that if you place a purchase order, or open a Vendor Store, on behalf of an organization or company, you have the legal authority to bind such organization or company to these terms and conditions.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND TO THE MARKETPLACE 

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time. Any and all such modifications are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all access to and continued use of the Marketplace. You agree to periodically review the terms and conditions in order to be aware of any such modifications and your continued use shall be your acceptance of these.

The information and material on the Marketplace may be changed, withdrawn, or terminated at any time in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Marketplace is restricted to users or unavailable at any time or for any period.

ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION

If a purchaser orders a product or service from a Vendor in the Marketplace, the purchaser agrees that the order is an offer made to the Vendor to buy the product or service from the Vendor.

Look Local Marketplace will accept payment for orders from purchasers, including any applicable shipping and insurance charges and any applicable sales tax, and will immediately remit full payment to the Vendor less any applicable sales commission agreed to by the Vendor and Look Local Marketplace, and less any applicable credit card processing fee.

Orders are accepted by the Vendor in the Vendor’s sole discretion.

Should the Vendor refuse to accept the purchase offer made by the purchaser, Look Local Marketplace will promptly refund the full payment made by the purchaser to the purchaser.

TERMS OF PAYMENT

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before a Vendor can accept an order.

We accept approved credit cards and other payment methods indicated during checkout for all purchases. You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honoured by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Marketplace at the time of your order.

SHIPMENTS AND DELIVERY

Terms of shipment and delivery are determined by a Vendor and form a part of the Vendor Terms and are not the responsibility of Look Local Marketplace.

Subject to any express Vendor Terms to the contrary, shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Look Local Marketplace is not liable for any delays in shipments or losses of shipments.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Any returns or refunds and all shipping and handling polices for returns or refunds are subject to the Vendor Terms and must be made directly with the Vendor.  Look Local Marketplace will not accept any products that are returned to it.

WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

Look Local Marketplace does not manufacture, control, distribute or sell any of the products or services offered in the marketplace.

The availability of products or services offered by Vendors through the Marketplace does not indicate an affiliation with or endorsement by Look Local Marketplace of any product, service or Vendor.

Look Local Marketplace does not provide any conditions or warranties with respect to the products or services offered in the Marketplace.

Any manufacturer’s warranty or Vendor warranty regarding products or services purchased on the Marketplace are covered by the manufacturer or Vendor warranty, if any, and may or may not be detailed in the Vendor Store.  If no product or service warranty information is detailed in the Vendor Store, then it is the purchaser’s obligation to inquire about the terms of such warranty, and any return or refund policies from the Vendor.

All products and services offered on this site are provided “as is” without any warranty or condition whatsoever by look local, including, without limitation, any warranty or condition: (a) of merchantability; (b) of fitness for a particular purpose; or (c) against infringement of intellectual property rights of a third party; whether express or implied by law, course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade, or otherwise.

You affirm that Look Local shall not be liable, under any circumstances, for any breach of warranty or condition claims or for any damages arising out of a manufacturer’s or vendor’s failure to honour its warranty.
