4. Products
The Polycor Inc. Online Properties may make available listings, descriptions and images of goods or services or related coupons or discounts (collectively, “Products“), as well as references and links to Products. Such Products may be made available by Polycor Inc. or by third parties. The availability through the Polycor Inc. Online Properties of any listing, description or image of a third-party Product does not imply our endorsement of such Product or affiliation with the provider of such Product. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of such listings, descriptions or images (including any features, specifications and prices contained therein). Such information and the availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) is subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors and patterns, however the actual colors and patterns you see will depend, amongst others, on your computer system and the natural variation that may occur in our products, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors nor that the colors and patterns displayed will be consistently identical in the available product at the time of any transaction, being understood that most of Polycor’s Products are made of, or include, natural stone and other natural products which may, in their essence, vary in colors and patterns. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the possession, use and sale of any Product.

YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD THAT YOU SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Transactions.

Online Properties, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all shipping and handling charges. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions.

16. Governing Law; Arbitration
The terms of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the province of Quebec, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND RESTORATION HARDWARE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE.

The arbitration will be governed by, and administered in compliance with, the Civil Code of Quebec and the Quebec Code of Civil Procedure as amended by this Agreement.

Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties, in Quebec City. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you. Any arbitration procedure, including any evidence, document or correspondence in connection therewith, and any arbitral decision shall be and remain strictly confidential.
