Terms of Sale

These terms are between Meouf Jute Industries, 2315 Rue Armel, LaSalle, QC H8N 1L4, Canada (the “Seller”), and the business customer placing the order (the “Buyer”). Contact: info@meouf.com.

They apply to sales to businesses. They are not consumer contracts, and the Seller does not offer goods for personal, family or household use through this website.

These terms govern every sale of goods by the Seller to the Buyer and prevail over any terms the Buyer purports to impose, including terms printed on a purchase order, unless the Seller agrees otherwise in writing.

A quotation is an invitation to treat, not an offer. A contract is formed only when the Seller confirms the Buyer’s order in writing.

These terms are presented on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. The Buyer has a reasonable opportunity to read them before ordering, and any clause the Buyer wishes to vary must be agreed in writing before order confirmation.

The goods are manufactured to the specification recorded on the order confirmation. Production begins only after the Buyer has approved, in writing, the digital proof and — where the order includes printing or a bespoke construction — the pre-production sample.

Any change to the specification after approval may affect price and lead time and requires a written variation.

Colour shown in the 3D configurator on this website is an indication rendered on the Buyer’s own screen and is not a colour match. Where exact colour matters, the Buyer must approve a physical sample.

Jute is an agricultural fibre. The following tolerances are commercially standard and do not constitute a defect: dimensions ± 1 cm; fabric weight ± 5%; delivered quantity ± 3% of the ordered quantity, invoiced at actual; and shade variation between batches within normal commercial limits.

Prices are as stated on the quotation, in the stated currency and on the stated Incoterm. Unless expressly included, they exclude freight, insurance, duties, port charges and destination taxes.

Prices shown on this website, including any figure produced by the configurator, are indicative estimates and are not an offer. The binding price is the one stated on the Seller’s written quotation.

Payment terms are stated on the quotation. Interest may be charged on overdue sums at the rate stated on the quotation or, failing that, at the legal rate. Title in the goods does not pass until payment is received in full; risk passes in accordance with the agreed Incoterm.

Delivery dates are estimates given in good faith and run from the later of order confirmation, receipt of any advance payment and written artwork approval.

Lead times published on this website are indicative ranges for planning. They are not a term of any contract unless repeated on the order confirmation.

The Buyer shall inspect the goods on arrival. Claims relating to quantity, quality or transit damage must be notified in writing, with photographic evidence, within 14 days of receipt. Goods not so notified are deemed accepted, save for defects that were not reasonably discoverable on inspection.

Where a claim is accepted, the Seller may at its option replace the affected goods, rework them, or credit their invoice value.

Nothing in this clause limits the legal warranty of quality owed by a seller under the Civil Code of Québec in respect of latent defects.

The Buyer warrants that it owns or is licensed to use all artwork, trade marks and other material it supplies, and indemnifies the Seller against any third-party claim arising from their reproduction.

Tooling, screens and plates produced for an order remain the Seller’s property unless separately purchased.

Subject to the paragraph below, the Seller’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any order shall not exceed the invoice value of the goods giving rise to the claim, and neither party is liable for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of contract or loss of goodwill.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. In particular, and as required by the Civil Code of Québec, the Seller does not exclude or limit its liability for bodily or moral injury, or for its own intentional or gross fault.

Neither party is liable for a failure or delay in performance caused by superior force — an unforeseeable and irresistible event beyond its reasonable control — including natural disaster, epidemic, industrial action, port closure, crop failure or governmental action.

These terms are governed by the laws in force in the Province of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

The parties elect the judicial district of Montréal, Québec, as the venue for any proceeding, unless they agree otherwise in writing.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to any contract formed under these terms.

A French version of these terms is published alongside this one and both are intended to have the same meaning. Une version française des présentes conditions est publiée parallèlement à celle-ci et les deux versions sont destinées à avoir le même sens.
