Payment Methods

Per Vices accepts certified cheque, money order, or direct wire transfer payments.

Sales and Distribution to the United States Government

In any contract with the United States government or in any contract that is a subcontract of any tier under a United States government contract:

  1. Per Vices Corporation only accepts those clauses of the United States Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) that the regulations themselves mandate be flowed-down to a party in Per Vices Corporation’s position, given all relevant limitations, including Per Vices Corporation’s status as a customer or a subcontractor, Canadian Controlled Corporation, and the size and type of contract; and
  2. Per Vices retains proprietary rights in all technical data and computer software provided under such contract. Neither the United States government nor any higher-tier contractor under a United States government contract receives any rights in technical data or computer software beyond the rights provided to all commercial customers under these terms and conditions, except that Per Vices grants to the United States government the minimum additional rights required under the narrowest applicable provisions of the FAR or DFARS. Except as specifically agreed in writing, Per Vices will not provide certified cost and pricing data and therefore does not accept any Cost Accounting Standards, defective pricing, or audit requirements.

Shipment Information

We ship most orders within 36 hours of your checkout. The actual transit time will vary depending on shipping method selected; delivery estimates are provided to you when selecting your shipping method. We shall notify you by email when your time has shipped, and include a tracking number when possible. All shipments are fully insured.

International Shipments

We are pleased to offer international shipping to most countries. We do not ship to Belarus or Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. In some cases, additional information may be required prior to shipping.

Title and Risk of Loss

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all Products will be shipped FCA (Incoterms 2010) (Per Vices’ premises) or as otherwise designated by Per Vices in a notice to you. Ownership of, and risk of loss with respect to, the Products shall pass to you upon delivery thereof by Per Vices to you or to a carrier for shipment to you, whichever is earlier, regardless of whether Per Vices will install or supervise the installment of the Products. Products held or stored by Per Vices for you shall be at your sole risk, and you shall be liable for the expense to Per Vices of holding or storing Products at your request. 

Damaged Shipments

We take care in testing and package all of our outgoing shipments. If a shipped order arrives with obvious damage, please refuse to accept it and the shipping company will return the merchandise to Per Vices. Please contact us and we shall arrange to ship a replacement product. Note carefully: Risk of damage or loss is transferred immediately upon delivery of product to first carrier. (In case of obvious damage please do not accept the shipment, or note such damage on manifest prior to accepting. In either case, please contact us.)

Order Changes or Cancellations

We aim to ship orders as quickly as possible. It is critical you immediately email us to cancel or change your order. We do reserve the right to cancel an order prior to shipping. In the unlikely event we cancel your order we shall immediately notify you (generally by email) and refund the order. Order changes or cancellations are not possible after we ship the order. Order cancellations or changes are not possible for custom hardware or software development.

Warranty & Return Policy

Our intention is to provide the highest quality products; all hardware is individually tested and verified to work prior to shipping, and Per Vices warrants to you that for one (1) year from the date title to the Product passes to you, each Product sold hereunder will be free of defects in materials and workmanship that cause Hardware to fail to substantially conform to the then applicable Per Vices published specifications.

This Limited Warranty does not apply if defect or product failure is the result of: accident, abuse, misapplication, modification, or neglect; operation outside of the specifications for the hardware or exceeding voltage or power specifications; improper calibration by the customer, use of an improper hardware or software key, or unauthorized maintenance or repair; or a hazard such as lightning, flood, or other act of nature. 

If Per Vices receives notice of a defect or non-conformance during the applicable warranty period, Per Vices will, in its sole discretion: (i) repair or replace the affected Hardware or Software, (ii) re-perform the affected Services, or (iii) refund the fees paid for the affected Products or Services. Repaired or replaced Hardware or Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. If Per Vices elects to repair or replace Hardware, Per Vices may use new or refurbished parts or products that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability and are at least functionally equivalent to the original part or Hardware.

You must obtain an RMA number from Per Vices before returning any Hardware under warranty to Per Vices. You will pay shipping expenses to send the affected Hardware to Per Vices, and Per Vices will pay shipping expenses to return the Hardware to You. If, however, Per Vices concludes, after examining and testing returned Hardware, that it is not covered by the Limited Warranty, Per Vices will notify you and return the Hardware at Customer’s expense. Per Vices reserves the right to charge a fee for examining and testing Hardware not covered by the Limited Warranty, or, if after examining and testing a Covered Product, Per Vices makes a determination of “No Trouble Found” (“NTF”).

Per Vices’ sole liability and responsibility under this warranty is to repair or replace any Product that is returned to it by you and that we determine is defective by reason of manufacturing or workmanship. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE AND YOUR SOLE REMEDIES, AND SHALL APPLY EVEN IF SUCH REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
