4. How To Order
   • We only sell to adults of legal age to buy vaping products in Canada: We only accept orders from adults of legal age to purchase vaping products in their Canadian jurisdiction of residence, who place orders for personal or domestic use, and who can receive their shipment at a Canadian postal address by showing a valid government issued ID upon delivery. We do not accept large multiple orders of vaping products that exceed an amount reasonably required for personal use or the use of adult family members.
   • Credit card required: In order to place an order, you must be the holder of a valid credit card account and provide the details.
   • Ordering process: You may place an order for a Product via our online order process on the Website. The Website contains instructions on how to complete the order process and check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. At the end of the order process you will be asked to provide payment through the on-line payment facility. Your order will be submitted to us when you click on the "SUBMIT ORDER" button at the end of the order process. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a Product.
   • How we will accept your order: After you place your order, we will send you a confirmation email confirming our acceptance of your order.

   • If we cannot accept your order: If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the Product. This might be because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product,  because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline, or because the order exceeds an amount reasonably required for personal use or the use of adult family members (or is one of multiple large orders placed by you, that exceeds an amount reasonably required for personal use or the use of adult family members).
   • Products are subject to availability: All Products shown on the Website are subject to availability. We will inform you by email as soon as possible if the Product you have ordered is not available and will not process your order.

   • Where to find the price: The price of a Product is as published on the Website on the date you place your order. Prices are subject to change without notice at any time, but changes will not affect any order that you have previously placed.
   • What happens if we got the price wrong: It is possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, a Product on our Website may be incorrectly priced.

You should ensure that you have read and agree with those terms and conditions before using the payment facility.
