- Applicability.
-
These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods ("Goods")
and services ("Services") by Canon Canada Inc. (“Canon” or "Seller") to the buyer of such Goods and Services ("Buyer").
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering
the sale of the Goods and Services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent
they are inconsistent with these Terms.
-
The accompanying invoice (the "Sales Confirmation") and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement") comprise the
entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements,
negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of
Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its order or such
terms. Fulfilment of Buyer's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions and does not
serve to modify or amend these Terms.
-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Sales Confirmation.

Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods within five (5) business days of Seller's written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labour reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.

of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or
hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications
thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under
this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Ontario Personal Property Security Act.
- Buyer's Acts or Omissions.
If Seller's performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer
or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under
this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer, in each case, to the
extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
- Inspection and Rejection of Non-Conforming Goods.
-
Buyer shall inspect the Goods within five (5) days of receipt ("Inspection Period"). Buyer will be deemed to have
