Before submitting an order, you are responsible for reviewing all order details, including the products selected, quantities, billing information, shipping information, applicable taxes, shipping fees, and total amount payable. You are responsible for correcting any errors before submitting your order.
An email confirmation or order acknowledgement does not constitute Transit Auto’s acceptance of an order and does not create an obligation to sell or ship any product.

Transit Auto reserves the right, at its sole discretion and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to refuse, limit, modify, or cancel any order for any reason, including, but not limited to, errors in pricing, product information, availability, shipping information, taxes, fees, suspected fraud, unauthorized activity, misuse of the Website, irregular transactions, remote shipping destinations, commercially unreasonable freight charges, resale, redistribution, commercial arbitrage, unauthorized marketplace activity, abusive promotional use, inventory manipulation, or payment verification issues.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights or remedies that you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.
6. Shipping Limitations
Transit Auto may arrange for products to be shipped using carriers, shipping methods, and delivery services selected by Transit Auto or made available through the Website. Transit Auto reserves the right to determine, change, restrict, or refuse any shipping method, carrier, destination, or delivery option, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing, shipping, contact, and delivery information at the time of purchase. Transit Auto is not responsible for delays, non-delivery, additional charges, losses, or other issues resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or undeliverable information provided by you.
Shipping options, delivery estimates, shipping fees, and availability may vary based on product type, product size, product weight, destination, carrier restrictions, warehouse location, inventory availability, remote-location surcharges, and other operational factors. Any delivery timeframe displayed on the Website, at checkout, or in an order confirmation is an estimate only and does not constitute a guarantee, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by Transit Auto.
Shipping fees may be estimated on product pages or during the shopping process and may vary based on the full order, product size, product weight, shipping destination, carrier availability, warehouse location, remote-area classification, and other operational factors. The final shipping fee, where applicable, will be displayed before you submit your order.
Transit Auto may split an order into multiple shipments, ship products from different locations, or use different carriers for different products within the same order. Additional shipping restrictions may apply to oversized, overweight, hazardous, regulated, fragile, remote-location, or special-order products.
Transit Auto reserves the right to cancel, refuse, or modify an order, in whole or in part, where the shipping address is incomplete, inaccurate, restricted, inaccessible, remote, commercially unreasonable to service, or subject to excessive freight costs, carrier limitations, or shipping restrictions. If an order is cancelled after payment has been made, Transit Auto will refund the amount paid for the cancelled portion of the order in accordance with applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto is not responsible for delays, delivery failures, losses, additional charges, or damages caused by carriers, customs authorities, weather, labour disruptions, supply chain disruptions, incorrect shipping information, failed delivery attempts, refusal of delivery, unclaimed packages, remote-location restrictions, or events outside Transit Auto’s reasonable control.
7. Delivery, Non-Delivery, Damaged Shipments, and Cancellation Rights
Transit Auto will make reasonable efforts to ship products within the delivery timeframe communicated during the order process or in the order confirmation. Delivery dates and timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by Transit Auto.
Transit Auto’s ability to deliver an order may depend on product availability, supplier availability, carrier availability, payment verification, address verification, weather, transportation conditions, operational constraints, and other factors outside Transit Auto’s reasonable control.
You are responsible for ensuring that someone is available to receive the shipment where required, that the shipping address is accessible and accurate, and that any delivery instructions provided are complete and correct. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto is not responsible for failed delivery attempts, delivery delays, returned packages, refused packages, unclaimed packages, or additional costs caused by inaccurate information, unavailable recipients, carrier access restrictions, or circumstances outside Transit Auto’s reasonable control.
You must inspect all products promptly upon delivery. If a shipment appears damaged, incomplete, incorrect, or missing items, you must notify Transit Auto as soon as possible and provide any information reasonably requested by Transit Auto, which may include photos, packaging, labels, proof of delivery, order information, or other details required to investigate the issue or submit a carrier claim.
Transit Auto may, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, choose the appropriate remedy for delivery issues, including investigation, correction of the order, replacement, reshipment, refund, partial refund, store credit, or another remedy determined by Transit Auto.
If a product cannot be delivered, is significantly delayed, or if required information was not provided as required by applicable consumer protection law, you may have cancellation, refund, chargeback, or other rights under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits any mandatory cancellation, refund, chargeback, or other remedy available to you under applicable consumer protection laws.
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise in Transit Auto’s return policy, original shipping fees, handling fees, oversized-item fees, remote-area fees, and other delivery-related charges are not refundable when delivered products are returned for reasons not caused by Transit Auto.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except where a refund is required by applicable law, shipping fees, handling fees, special-order fees, oversized-item fees, remote-area fees, and other delivery-related charges may be non-refundable where an order is refused, unclaimed, returned due to customer error, cancelled after processing, or otherwise affected by circumstances not caused by Transit Auto.

21. Disclaimers / Limitation of Liability
Your use of the Website is at your own risk. The Website, its Content, and any information, materials, tools, features, recommendations, or services made available on or through the Website are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Transit Auto does not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, virus-free, current, accurate, complete, compatible with your systems, or available at any particular time or location.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, partners, affiliates, suppliers, service providers, agents, successors, and assigns will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business, loss of use, business interruption, replacement costs, labour costs, diagnostic costs, towing charges, rental vehicle costs, or other financial or commercial loss, arising out of or related to the Website, Content, products, services, orders, shipping, installation, use, inability to use, or any website linked to the Website, even if Transit Auto has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto’s total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the Website, Content, products, services, orders, or these Terms and Conditions will not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific product giving rise to the claim.
If you are dissatisfied with the Website, Content, or these Terms and Conditions, your sole remedy with respect to the Website is to stop using the Website, subject to any mandatory rights or remedies that may apply under applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits any liability, warranty, remedy, or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
22. Warranties
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits any mandatory legal warranty or other non-excludable rights that may apply under applicable consumer protection laws, including Québec’s Consumer Protection Act, where applicable.
Transit Auto sells automotive replacement parts, including products sold under brands owned or controlled by Transit Auto. For products sold under a brand owned or controlled by Transit Auto, Transit Auto acts as the brand owner, warranty provider, and, where applicable, the party responsible for administering the applicable product warranty, subject to these Terms and Conditions, any written warranty terms provided with the product, and any mandatory warranty obligations that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
For products sold under third-party brands, any manufacturer warranty, if available, is provided by the applicable third-party manufacturer and may be subject to that manufacturer’s own terms, limitations, exclusions, procedures, and requirements. Transit Auto may assist with warranty administration where applicable, but Transit Auto does not provide any additional warranty for third-party-branded products unless expressly stated in writing or required by applicable law.
Product-specific warranty information, if any, may be displayed on the applicable product page, in product documentation, or in a written warranty statement provided with the product. Warranty coverage may vary by product, brand, product category, and intended use.
Where a product-specific warranty is displayed or provided, that warranty applies only according to its stated terms, limitations, exclusions, claim procedures, and duration, subject to any mandatory rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Subject to the foregoing, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto disclaims all warranties, representations, and conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, except for any written warranty expressly applicable to a product, any warranty provided by Transit Auto as brand owner or warranty provider for brands owned or controlled by Transit Auto, any third-party manufacturer warranty expressly applicable to a product, and any warranty that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Some automotive replacement parts are wear items, maintenance items, or consumable-type parts because they are designed to be used, worn, depleted, serviced, or replaced over time during normal vehicle operation. These may include, without limitation, brake pads, brake shoes, brake rotors, filters, wiper blades, fluids, belts, bulbs, and similar maintenance or wear-related parts.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, normal wear and tear, routine maintenance, and the replacement of parts resulting from normal maintenance or expected wear do not, by themselves, constitute a product defect or breach of warranty. A product is not defective solely because it has worn down, reached the end of its expected service life, or requires replacement after normal use.
The expected service life of a wear item may vary depending on vehicle condition, driving conditions, driving habits, installation, maintenance, load, environment, corrosion, contamination, heat, vehicle modifications, product grade, and whether the product is used within the manufacturer’s or brand owner’s specifications.
Transit Auto is not responsible for claims, costs, losses, or damages arising from normal wear, misuse, abuse, neglect, improper storage, improper handling, improper installation, incorrect product selection, vehicle modification, non-compliance with laws, codes, manufacturer instructions, brand instructions, bedding-in procedures, or use of a product for an unintended or prohibited purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
23. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Transit Auto and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, partners, affiliates, related companies, suppliers, service providers, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Website; your purchase, selection, installation, possession, resale, or use of products; your breach of these Terms and Conditions; your violation of any law or third-party right; your User Content or User Communications; your account activity; your misuse of promotions, returns, warranties, chargebacks, or other Website features; or any fraudulent, unlawful, unauthorized, or abusive conduct by you or through your account.
24. Revisions to these Terms and Conditions
Transit Auto may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting an updated version on the Website or by providing notice in another manner permitted by law.
The updated Terms and Conditions will apply to your use of the Website after they are posted or otherwise made available, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
You are responsible for reviewing these Terms and Conditions periodically. Your continued use of the Website after any update constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms and Conditions.
Certain provisions may be supplemented, replaced, or modified by additional legal notices, policies, product terms, promotion rules, checkout terms, or other terms made available on particular pages of the Website.
25. Applicable Law
These Terms and Conditions, your use of the Website, and all related matters are governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules that would lead to the application of any other laws.
Subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights that may apply, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the Website, or any related matter shall be brought before the courts having jurisdiction in the judicial district of Lévis, Québec, Canada.
These Terms and Conditions, together with any other legal notices, policies, and terms posted on the Website, including the Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between you and Transit Auto regarding your use of the Website, except as otherwise expressly stated.
26. Currency, Pricing, Taxes and Fees
All prices displayed on the Website are in Canadian dollars (CAD), unless otherwise clearly stated.
Applicable federal and provincial sales taxes, shipping fees, and other charges will be displayed before you confirm your order. Transit Auto will charge and collect applicable sales taxes based on the shipping destination of the order in accordance with Canadian tax laws.
Transit Auto aims to ensure that prices and mandatory charges are presented clearly before checkout. If an error affects the price, availability, shipping charge, tax calculation, or other material order information, Transit Auto may correct the error and, where required, give you the opportunity to accept the corrected order or cancel it.
Promotions, discounts, clearance pricing, coupon codes, limited-time offers, and special pricing may be subject to additional terms, eligibility criteria, exclusions, quantity limits, inventory availability, geographic restrictions, and start and end dates. Transit Auto may modify, suspend, cancel, or refuse any promotion, discount, coupon code, or special offer where permitted by law, including in cases of error, misuse, fraud, technical issues, inventory limitations, or unintended application.
In the event of a refund, the refund will be issued in Canadian dollars using the original payment method where possible. Transit Auto is not responsible for currency conversion differences, exchange-rate fluctuations, or fees charged by your financial institution.
27. Fitment Responsibility and Labour Waiver
The Website may provide compatibility tools, search filters, product information, fitment notes, interchange information, or Year/Make/Model lookup features to assist with product selection. These tools and features are provided for convenience only and do not constitute a guarantee of fitment, compatibility, performance, or suitability.
It is your responsibility to verify that the product is appropriate for your specific vehicle before purchase and installation, including by confirming the part number, specifications, fitment notes, and, where appropriate, compatibility with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Vehicle variations, production changes, trims, engines, sub-models, regional specifications, previous repairs, aftermarket modifications, lifted or lowered suspension, and other factors may affect compatibility.
For wear items, maintenance items, and consumable-type replacement parts, including brake components, filters, belts, bulbs, fluids, and wiper blades, performance and service life may vary significantly depending on vehicle condition, installation quality, driving conditions, maintenance, product selection, vehicle modifications, and use. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto is not responsible for reduced service life, noise, vibration, uneven wear, premature wear, or replacement needs caused by incorrect fitment, improper installation, failure to follow manufacturer or brand-owner procedures, vehicle condition, seized or defective related components, contamination, corrosion, overheating, aggressive use, towing, racing, off-road use, or other conditions outside Transit Auto’s control.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transit Auto is not responsible for labour costs, diagnostic charges, shop time, towing charges, rental vehicle costs, loss of use, installation costs, removal costs, reinstallation costs, programming costs, calibration costs, or damage to other vehicle components arising from incorrect product selection, incorrect fitment, improper installation, defective installation, misuse, vehicle modification, or installation of a product that is not compatible with the vehicle.
Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights or remedies that may apply under applicable consumer protection laws.
28. Website Changes and Termination
Transit Auto reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue the Website or any part of it, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice and without liability, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Transit Auto may change, remove, update, suspend, or discontinue any Content, product listing, product information, feature, functionality, service, account tool, promotion, or Website component at any time, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Your only remedy with respect to dissatisfaction with the Website, Content, policies, practices, or changes to the Website is to stop using the Website, subject to any mandatory rights or remedies that may apply under applicable law.
29. Account Termination
You may stop using your account at any time. Transit Auto may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or your use of the Website at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and without liability, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Transit Auto may suspend, restrict, or terminate an account in cases of suspected fraud, unauthorized access, inaccurate information, misuse, abuse, security risk, violation of these Terms and Conditions, chargeback abuse, return abuse, promotional abuse, or other irregular activity.
You remain responsible for all orders placed, charges incurred, obligations created, and activity occurring through your account before termination, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Account termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before termination, including payment obligations, indemnification obligations, intellectual property rights, limitation of liability provisions, warranty limitations, dispute provisions, or any mandatory consumer rights or already-paid orders to the extent protected by applicable law.
30. Language
These Terms and Conditions are available in English and French.
For Québec consumers and other persons entitled to receive a French version under applicable Québec language laws, the French version of these Terms and Conditions is made available before the person chooses to be bound by the English version, where required by law.
Where permitted by law, you may choose to be bound by the English version after having had the opportunity to review the French version.
In the event of any inconsistency between the English and French versions, the version that provides the consumer with the protection required by applicable Québec consumer protection laws will prevail.
