SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Price

Orders are accepted subject to prices in effect at the time

of shipment and prices are subject to change without notice. The

published pricing schedule shows suggested list prices and is

subject to a trade discount as determined by MAAX Inc. (here-

after “MAAX”).
Orders will be invoiced at the price in effect at the time the

orders are placed. Selling prices may be readjusted without

notice during the year, for instance if transportation costs

increase due to fuel surcharges.

Conditions of acceptance

The acceptance, shipment or

delivery of any order is conditional upon approval of MAAX's

credit department and upon these sales terms and conditions

applying to the order and not any others, unless specifically

agreed to in writing by MAAX. MAAX reserves the right to

require satisfactory security for performance of the buyer's obli-

gations prior to making shipment on any order. Any sold mer-

chandise remains the property of the seller until full payment is

received.

Terms of payment

General payment terms are net 30 days.

A rate of 2% monthly (26.82% per annum, compounded month-

ly) will apply on overdue accounts. No goods will be delivered

to customers not complying with our sales and payment condi-

tions.

Taxes

All prices published are exclusive of applicable taxes.

Lost merchandise

If, upon receipt, the recipient notices that

certain products are missing, he must immediately notify our

customer service department. The recipient must then indicate

which products are missing on the delivery slip and countersign

it. The enclosed bill of lading allows you to verify shipped and

received merchandise.

Shipping damage

Damage occurring in transit is the

responsibility of the carrier. MAAX will not be held responsible

for shipping damage. The product should be carefully examined

by the user or installer at time of receipt to ensure it is damage

free. If any damage is discovered, it should be noted on the

freight bill, and a claim should be filed against the carrier as soon

as possible.
Inspection of the unit prior to installation is the responsibility of

the installer or building contractor who acts on behalf of the

user, or the user himself. They are responsible for ensuring that

the unit is free of defect or damage. In the event of a problem, the

unit must not be installed. MAAX is not responsible for failures,

costs, damages or claims that could have been discovered,

repaired or avoided by proper inspection and testing prior to

installation.

Returns

Merchandise cannot be returned for any reason with-

out written authorization from our customer service depart-

ment. Any returned merchandise shall be liable to a 25% restock-

ing fee and, if necessary, labor costs. MAAX will not accept the

return of a non-custom product or a product that is not white,

either with or without a basic massage system. All transporta-

tion fees shall be paid by the originator.

Color variations

MAAX shall not be responsible for varia-

tions in granite color, wood grain, or color shades in the natural

wood used; or for slight differences in color or texture of the

material delivered in relation to the sample shown or provided

to the purchaser. The purchaser may not use such differences to

obtain a price discount or to cancel the order.

Cancellation

The client may not cancel an order after 24

hours from receipt of MAAX’s confirmation. All cancellation

requests must be made by fax and be confirmed by MAAX.

Design and dimensions

MAAX reserves the right to discontinue products at any time or

change specifications and/or design without notice and without

incurring obligation. All dimensions are approximate and sub-

ject to change without prior notice.

Maintenance

Regular disinfections provide an effective defense against vari-

ous types of bacteria susceptible of developing in the deposits

that build up over time in all bathtubs and showers.
For daily maintenance cleaning, use a moist cloth and gentle liq-

uid detergent.

For acrylic surfaces, occasional use of a special acrylic surface

cleaner such as Lumashine or Lumacream will add luster and

protect the finish.

Do not use

abrasive cleaners, scrapers, metal brushes, or any

items or products that could scratch or dull the surface.
To clean whirlpool piping, prevent residue build-up and extend

the life and performance of whirlpool tubs, we recommend

Mister MAAX

TM

cleaner, available from all MAAX dealers. When

used monthly, Mister MAAX

TM

is considered an effective disin-

fectant to clean whirlpool and jet air circulation systems.
If you have any maintenance-related problems, MAAX repre-

sentatives will answer your questions and recommend the best

solutions.
