Commitment to Customer Satisfaction: At TargaTools, ensuring your satisfaction with every purchase is our top priority. If you find yourself needing to return a product, we aim to make the process straightforward and fair under our Return and Refund Policy.

Return Process:

1. Return Goods Authorization (RGA): To initiate a return, you must first contact our customer service team to request a Return Goods Authorization (RGA). No returns will be accepted without prior approval and the issuance of an RGA number. This policy ensures that we can efficiently handle your return and provide the appropriate refund or exchange.
2. Eligibility for Returns: Returns are accepted within 30 days of the original receipt date, provided the products are returned in their original condition, unused, and with all original packaging and accessories included. Some products, such as custom orders, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases, are not eligible for return. Specific return information for each product can be found on its product page on our website.
3. Return Shipping: Once your return has been approved and an RGA number issued, you will be responsible for shipping the product back to us. We recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for items of significant value. Unless the return is due to our error (e.g., you received an incorrect or defective item), you will be responsible for covering return shipping costs.

Refund Process:

1. Inspection and Processing: Upon receiving your returned item, our team will inspect it to confirm that it meets our return criteria. We will then process your refund or exchange as previously agreed upon when your RGA was issued.
2. Refund Timing: Refunds will be processed to your original method of payment within a certain number of days following the receipt and inspection of the returned item. We aim to process refunds as quickly as possible, but the exact timing may depend on your payment provider's policies.
3. Partial Refunds and Restocking Fees: In certain cases, only partial refunds may be granted, such as for items not in their original condition or items returned beyond the 30-day window with prior approval. A restocking fee may apply to some returns and will be communicated at the time your RGA is issued.

Exchanges: Should you need to exchange a defective or damaged item for the same product, please mention this when requesting your RGA. We will facilitate the exchange process and cover any shipping costs for the replacement item.

Non-Returnable Items: Please note that certain items, including but not limited to gift cards, downloadable software products, and specific health and personal care items, are not eligible for return. Check the product page for any specific return restrictions before making your purchase.

By using the TargaTools website, you acknowledge and agree that TargaTools is not responsible for the examination or evaluation of, and does not warrant the offerings of, any businesses or individuals or the content of their websites. TargaTools does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, services, and content of all these and any other third parties.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Governing Law: The Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. This choice of jurisdiction does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law which, in the absence of choice, would have been applicable.

Jurisdiction: You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms or TargaTools' services shall be filed only in the provincial and federal courts located in Ontario, Canada, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of these Terms.

Dispute Resolution: Before bringing a formal legal case, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. TargaTools will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

International Use: TargaTools makes no representation that information on this website is appropriate or available for use outside Canada. Those who choose to access this website from outside Canada do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This limitation period does not apply to residents of Quebec.

Legal Compliance: You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations regarding your use of our service and your purchase of products or services through our site. TargaTools reserves the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of our Terms and to take any action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to canceling your Member account, reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties, and disclosing any information necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities relating to your profile, email addresses, usage history, posted materials, IP addresses, and traffic information.

By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand the legal obligations and limitations set forth and agree to abide by them. Your use of the TargaTools website and services signifies your acceptance of this Governing Law and Jurisdiction clause as part of your binding agreement with TargaTools.

Dispute Resolution

Initial Resolution Effort: We at TargaTools are committed to customer satisfaction. If you have any concerns or disputes arising from your use of our website, our products, or these Terms, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly first. We will make a reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements in a fair and amicable manner.

Mediation: If direct resolution efforts are unsuccessful, we suggest mediation as the first formal step in resolving disputes. Both parties agree to engage in good faith negotiations through a neutral mediator before proceeding to arbitration or litigation. Mediation is intended to be a faster, less formal, and less expensive way to resolve disputes and is not a prerequisite to any other legal action.

Arbitration Agreement: In the event that mediation does not resolve the dispute, both parties agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under the exceptions to the arbitration agreement below. The arbitration will be conducted in Ontario, Canada, unless both parties agree to another location. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, and the language of the arbitration will be English.

Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement: You and TargaTools agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or TargaTools' intellectual property rights; (b) any dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions: All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis and not on a class basis. Claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other customer or user.

Governing Law: This Dispute Resolution section will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Future Changes to Dispute Resolution Agreement: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and TargaTools agree that if TargaTools makes any future change to this Dispute Resolution provision, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TargaTools' contact information provided on the website.

Severability

Clause Interpretation: If any provision of these Terms of Service, or any portion thereof, is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be excluded from the remaining provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.

Maintaining Terms Integrity: The exclusion of any of the provisions shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, ensuring the document's integrity and the parties' intentions are preserved. Each remaining provision of these Terms of Service shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

Adjustment of Terms: In the event of the exclusion of any provision as described above, TargaTools and you hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to amend these Terms of Service to reflect as closely as possible the original intentions of the parties with respect to the excluded provision, considering the regulatory framework and the need to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Whole Agreement Affected: The severability of any provisions of these Terms of Service does not affect the whole agreement's validity and enforceability, ensuring that the Terms as a whole continue to govern the use of the TargaTools website and services provided.

Future Amendments: TargaTools reserves the right to amend these Terms of Service at any time to reflect changes in the law, changes in our services, or for other reasons.
