Canada · Your legal rights

Federal and provincial consumer protections remain available. There is generally no automatic return right solely for changing your mind, but statutory cancellation and product-quality remedies apply in the circumstances provided by your province. In Québec, legal warranties include fitness for normal use and reasonable durability, taking account of price, contract terms and use. These rights are free and can last beyond our three-year warranty.

Your mandatory rights take priority. The voluntary conditions below do not limit legal cancellation rights, defect remedies or refund deadlines.

Wrong cartridge recommended by us? We will put it right.

If our compatibility database, product listing or staff advice incorrectly matched a cartridge to your printer, choose a correct replacement or a full refund for the affected items, even if opened. We cover necessary return and replacement shipping, with no restocking fee, age deduction or free-shipping clawback. Share your printer model and order details so we can check and correct the information. The same cost-free approach applies if we sent the wrong item. If our mistake means you return the whole order, we also refund the original delivery charge.

Changed your mind or selected the wrong item

Contact us within 90 days of delivery and send the goods back within 14 days of our return instructions. Our additional voluntary offer covers unused, unopened cartridges in undamaged, resaleable packaging. Opened cartridges are not normally eligible for a change-of-mind return; staff may make an exception. This restriction does not apply to statutory rights, defects or our compatibility mistakes.

Eligible voluntary returns have a 20% restocking fee on the price actually paid for the returned items after discounts, excluding separately charged tax. You pay return postage. Original delivery charges are not refunded under this voluntary offer. These fees apply only outside any applicable statutory cancellation or defect remedy.

If your order received free delivery and a voluntary return leaves retained goods below $69, we also deduct the standard outbound charge of $9, once per order. This includes returning the whole order. No deduction applies if the retained goods still meet the threshold. We never deduct outbound postage twice or add an undisclosed remote-area surcharge.

We explain deductions before you send a voluntary return. A return label is deducted only at the quoted cost you accept; postage you pay yourself is not deducted again. Total deductions cannot exceed the refund, and we never charge your card separately without consent. Taxes are adjusted as required. Unlawful or undisclosed fees are waived.

Faulty cartridges · three-year additional warranty

For cartridges bought from us, report a covered fault within three years of delivery. We provide a suitable replacement at no cost, subject to any legal right to choose another remedy. Keep the cartridge for assessment; original packaging is not required for a defect claim. We arrange a prepaid return or reimburse reasonable return costs for a confirmed fault.

We first assess provincial legal warranties, including Québec’s reasonable-durability warranty, and any earlier promises. Only where no statutory remedy is due and our additional warranty alone applies, an unavailable replacement leads to a refund calculated as the price paid for the cartridge × (36 minus completed months since delivery) ÷ 36. A claim at 18 months gives 50% only in that situation. Within the first 90 days the fallback refund is full. Age is measured when you report the fault. Applicable taxes are adjusted; no restocking or shipping fee is deducted. Statutory refunds and compensation are never reduced by this formula.

Normal depletion of ink or toner, or damage caused by misuse, is not a manufacturing fault. Remaining contents may help assess a claim, but no fixed minimum ink percentage automatically removes legal rights. Three years is a warranty period, not a promise that ink will last that long.

Arrange a return or report a problem

Contact us with your order number or other proof of purchase, printer model and a description of the issue. Photos help when available. We will provide the correct return address and explain any checks. Pack cartridges securely against leaks and keep proof of posting. Contacting support or completing troubleshooting does not shorten a legal deadline.

We normally process voluntary refunds within five business days of receipt and assessment. Statutory deadlines and lawful proof-of-return rules take priority. Refunds use the original payment method unless another lawful method is agreed; store credit is optional. Your payment provider may need additional time to display the refund.

Tell us promptly about damage, missing items or a parcel marked delivered that has not arrived. We investigate with the carrier; a delivery scan alone does not decide your claim.

Respect for our team

Our team will treat you respectfully, and we ask the same in return. Staff may waive voluntary fees or make reasonable exceptions after reviewing the circumstances. Abusive or threatening conversations may be paused or continued in writing. This never removes legal rights or changes the date your claim was received.

We take our staff’s emotional wellbeing seriously. Threats, profanity directed at staff, degrading remarks and other verbal abuse are not tolerated. We reserve the right to suspend abusive conversations or account access for future orders. You can still contact us in writing about existing orders, refunds and legal claims. A firm complaint or disagreement, expressed respectfully, is not abuse.
