SALES IN CANADA AND U.S. ONLY

West49 sells and ships its merchandise ordered through this Site only within Canada and the United States. We will only ship to a Canadian, United States or Puerto Rico address.

We reserve the right to refuse an order if the particulars of the order and payment requirements do not satisfy our purchase and delivery conditions.

PRICE, PAYMENT AND SHIPPING PRICE

All prices quoted are payable in Canadian Dollars. Taxes and shipping are extra depending on the delivery address and are displayed during check-out and in the Order Confirmation. Although West49 strives to provide accurate product and pricing information, errors may occur. West49 reserves the right to correct any errors in pricing or product information and to modify the prices of Products, at any time, without prior notice. West49 cannot confirm the price of a Product until after you submit an order for the Product. Without limiting the generality of the provisions above, in the event that the price or related information for a Product (as described on the Site and/or the Order Confirmation) is incorrect due to an error in pricing or product information, or pricing malfunctions, West49 may, at its sole discretion, refuse or cancel your order, whether before or after West49’s acceptance thereof.

Credit Card Security

We value your security and privacy with all online transactions. We use Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us.
