Availability and Description of Products/Services

The purchase of products/services on or through the Site is subject to availability. While we endeavor to keep the Site up-to-date and accurate at-all-times, we do not represent or warrant that products/services descriptions or other content on this Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error free. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

Manufacturers may from time to time alter the appearance of a product supplied to Pool Fits without prior notice. Our Site endeavors to keep all imagery and the appearance of products to be as accurate as possible. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the imagery of the products on the Site at any given time. Specifically, as it relates to the appearance and colours of liners and covers is dependent on the quality and capability of the computer and monitor on which the Site is being viewed. For these reasons we are not responsible for any slight difference in appearance and colour of the actual product and the Site’s on-line images. If there is a significant difference between the actual product you receive and the product displayed on our Site, you can return the item in unused condition within 15 days after receiving it. You will be responsible for arranging the shipping and bear the shipping fees in case of any return unless you receive the wrong item.

Pricing

Pricing is that which is in effect at the time of order.  All pricing is net of (does not include) any applicable shipping & handling charges and/or taxes.  Shipping & Handling charges will apply to all orders unless specified within the product listing on the Site and/or the Ship to address requested is to a Rural or Remote location (See Shipping and Handling below).

You should carefully read the final order price set out in our confirmation of your order to decide if the price adjustment (if any) is acceptable to you and whether you wish to cancel or change your order before you make payment or before the shipment or staging is started. Please refer to “Your Cancellations and Changes of Orders” above to find out more details.

Price matching is not part of the Site’s pricing policy.  Pool Fits is a premium service provider focused on delivering value added products and service and therefore does not match prices of competitors.  Pool Fits is competitively priced and reserves the right to alter prices at its sole discretion, we make no warrants or representations about our prices as compared to that of our competition.

Any contests, coupon codes or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through the Site may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms of Sale. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Terms of Sale, Terms & Conditions. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms of Sale and Terms & Conditions, the Promotion rules will apply.

Should there be a conflict between a Promotion price and the Site’s regular published price the Promotion price will control. Promotion offers may not be used in conjunction with or combined with any other offer or other discounts to further reduce the price beyond that which is offered through the Promotion.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy, https://www.poolfits.com/privacy-policy/, governs the processing of all personal data collected from you in connection with your purchase of products or services through the Site.

Shipping & Handling

Your order will normally be shipped by Fed Ex Home Delivery.  Fed Ex has some size and weight restrictions. In most cases Pool Fits is shipping to you directly from our vendor.  Pool Fits reserves the right to use alternate carriers, at its sole discretion, when those carriers best meet the needs and requirement of any shipment. 

Due to the size and weight of shipments, many shipments are ‘curbside delivery’ and require a signature and for you or your designate to be home to receive the order.  Where possible and within the size and weight restrictions, every effort will be made to leave your package at your doorstep and with no signature required.

Rural or Remote Delivery as defined by the Site is any area outside of the freight or courier company’s Standard Delivery Areas or Standard Delivery Zones.  Freight charges and costs are significantly higher than those incurred in Standard Delivery Areas / Zones.  Therefore, Pool Fits reserves the right and will charge additional shipping fees for orders with Ship to Addresses located in Rural or Remote Delivery Areas/Zones. Those costs will be calculated at time of order and adjusted when we confirm and accept your order.   

The exact carrier delivering your items, estimated delivery time and other shipping and delivery information will be provided in the shipping confirmation email once your order has been shipped.

Please note that the shipping and/or handling fees are non-refundable in any case except where we have shipped you the wrong item and you have returned the item within fifteen (15) days after delivery.
