TERMS OF SERVICE AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
RTS Retail | A Brand of RTS Companies Inc. and RTS Companies US Inc.
Overview
Welcome to RTS Retail. The terms "RTS Retail," "RTS," "we," "us," and "our" refer to RTS Companies Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation and RTS Companies US Inc., an Ohio, US corporation, operating their RTS Retail brand.
RTS Retail provides commercial, industrial, institutional, and retail equipment and related products through this website and associated sales channels.
Our online store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the website, online ordering functionality, customer accounts, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
These Terms of Service and Conditions of Sale (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, submission of quotation requests, and purchase of products from RTS Retail.
These Terms incorporate our applicable Shipping Policy, Return and Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and any separate written quotations or sales agreements expressly accepted by RTS.
RTS Retail primarily operates as a business-to-business (B2B) supplier. Our products are generally intended for commercial, industrial, institutional, or professional use.
By accessing the website, requesting a quotation, submitting a purchase order, or completing a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms, subject to applicable law.
Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important provisions regarding order acceptance, cancellations, shipping, warranties, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
1. Access and Account
By using the Services, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and are legally capable of entering into binding agreements.
If you access the Services or make purchases on behalf of a business, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to act on behalf of and bind that entity.
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when creating an account, requesting a quotation, or placing an order.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and for activity conducted through your account.
RTS Retail reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts where fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, misuse, or violations of these Terms are reasonably suspected.
You may not transfer, assign, or sell your account without prior written authorization from RTS Retail.
2. Our Products
RTS Retail manufactures and distributes commercial and industrial products, including rotationally molded plastic equipment, retail equipment, material handling products, storage products, and related accessories.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, dimensions, weights, capacities, photographs, and other published information are accurate.
However, product characteristics may vary within reasonable manufacturing tolerances or as a result of production processes, material properties, product development, and manufacturing improvements.
Unless expressly identified as guaranteed, published product dimensions, weights, capacities, and performance specifications are approximate.
RTS Retail reserves the right to make customary or minor modifications, substitutions, or improvements to product designs, materials, specifications, or manufacturing processes, provided such changes do not materially reduce the agreed functionality or performance of the product.
Material substitutions or changes affecting an accepted order will be communicated to the customer and handled in accordance with applicable law.
Product photographs, illustrations, and renderings are for reference purposes. Actual colors, textures, finishes, and configurations may vary.
Customers are responsible for determining whether products are appropriate for their intended applications, operating environments, weight loads, installation requirements, and applicable regulatory standards.
Customers must comply with all published product instructions, weight ratings, safety warnings, and maintenance requirements.
Replacement Parts and Insurance Requirements
RTS Retail may offer replacement parts, components, hardware, accessories, repair kits, or other service parts ("Replacement Parts") for RTS-manufactured products.
Replacement Parts are supplied with the expectation that installation, assembly, repair, maintenance, inspection, and related work will be performed by qualified personnel possessing the training, experience, and resources necessary to perform such work safely and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, industry practices, and RTS instructions.
RTS Retail reserves the right to require purchasers of Replacement Parts to provide satisfactory evidence of commercial general liability insurance, contractor liability insurance, professional liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, or other insurance reasonably requested by RTS prior to accepting or fulfilling an order. RTS may decline, delay, suspend, or cancel an order for Replacement Parts if requested proof of insurance is not provided or is determined by RTS, acting reasonably, to be insufficient.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, RTS Retail does not perform, supervise, certify, inspect, approve, or verify installation services performed by third parties. The purchaser is solely responsible for selecting qualified installers and for ensuring that all installation, repair, inspection, and maintenance work is completed safely and properly.
RTS Retail makes no representation or warranty regarding the workmanship, acts, omissions, compliance, or performance of any third-party installer, contractor, technician, service provider, or maintenance provider. As further described in Sections 16 (Product Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranties), 17 (Limitation of Liability), and 18 (Indemnification), RTS Retail shall not be responsible for damage, injury, loss, failure, or claims arising from improper installation, repair, modification, maintenance, inspection, or servicing of products by persons not acting on behalf of RTS pursuant to a separate written agreement.
RTS Retail does not guarantee the suitability of products for a particular application unless expressly confirmed in writing by an authorized RTS representative.
Product availability, specifications, and designs may change without notice, subject to obligations arising from orders already accepted.
RTS Retail reserves the right to discontinue products or limit available quantities where permitted by applicable law.
3. Orders and Order Acceptance
All orders placed through RTS Retail, whether submitted through online checkout, purchase order, written communication, or another authorized method, constitute an offer to purchase the products identified.
RTS Retail reserves the right to accept, decline, or cancel an order, subject to applicable law.
Automated acknowledgments or confirmations that an order has been received do not necessarily constitute acceptance of the order.
An order becomes accepted when RTS expressly confirms acceptance or begins fulfillment, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Once an order has been accepted by RTS, it may not be cancelled, changed, or modified by the purchaser without RTS Retail's prior written consent, except where cancellation rights are required by applicable law or expressly provided in the accepted sales agreement.
RTS Retail reserves the right to determine whether proposed cancellations or modifications will be accepted.
Custom, modified, special-order, or made-to-order products may not be eligible for cancellation once production, material procurement, or other order-specific commitments have commenced.
Approved cancellations may be subject to reasonable charges reflecting costs already incurred by RTS, including materials, labor, production, handling, and nonrecoverable expenses, where such charges were properly disclosed and are permitted by applicable law.
RTS Retail reserves the right to decline or cancel orders for reasons including:
-
Product unavailability or discontinuation.
-
Pricing or listing errors.
-
Payment authorization failures.
-
Suspected fraud or unauthorized purchasing.
-
Inaccurate customer information.
-
Shipping or regulatory restrictions.
-
Orders that cannot reasonably be fulfilled.
-
Purchases inconsistent with our intended business-to-business sales model.
RTS Retail primarily sells products intended for commercial, industrial, institutional, and business use. We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to decline or cancel orders intended for personal, family, or household use.
Purchases intended for resale, redistribution, or export may be subject to separate authorization, distributor agreements, or commercial sales conditions.
If RTS cancels an order after payment has been collected, RTS will refund the applicable amount in accordance with applicable law.
Online purchases are subject to payment authorization, product availability, and acceptance by RTS Retail.
At times, customers may be directed to submit a Request for Quotation rather than completing an online purchase. A quotation request does not constitute a binding order, accepted sale, or obligation to purchase.
RTS Retail may provide a quotation identifying product pricing, quantities, applicable taxes, freight charges, estimated production or delivery timelines, and other commercial conditions.
Quotations remain valid only for the period specified and may be revised following expiration.
A quoted transaction becomes binding once the customer accepts the quotation and RTS confirms acceptance of the resulting order.
Any additional or conflicting terms appearing in a customer's purchase order, acknowledgment, or other communication will not become part of the agreement unless expressly accepted in writing by an authorized RTS representative.
RTS's acceptance of a purchase order does not, by itself, constitute acceptance of the purchaser's conflicting or additional terms.
Where RTS expressly accepts separate written commercial terms, those terms will govern the applicable transaction to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.
4. Prices, Billing, and Payment
All prices are subject to change without notice, except for prices contained in an accepted order or valid written quotation, subject to applicable law and expressly agreed adjustment provisions.
Prices displayed on our website are generally presented in the currency corresponding to the customer's selected geographic market.
United States online purchases are generally processed in United States dollars (USD).
Canadian quotations or purchases may be presented in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless otherwise expressly specified.
Unless otherwise stated, published prices exclude applicable sales taxes, use taxes, customs duties, brokerage charges, freight, insurance, handling fees, and other applicable charges.
Any charges payable by the customer will be disclosed as required by applicable law and the agreed sales terms.
Customers agree to provide accurate and complete billing and payment information and represent that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.
RTS Retail may correct obvious pricing errors or inaccuracies, subject to applicable law.
If a material pricing error affects an order, RTS may notify the customer and offer the option of proceeding at the corrected price or cancelling the affected order with an appropriate refund.
Commercial Credit Accounts
Where RTS has expressly approved a customer for invoiced or credit-based purchasing, payment is due according to the terms stated on the applicable invoice or written credit agreement.
If no payment terms are stated, payment is due upon invoicing, subject to applicable law.
Overdue commercial balances may bear interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month (18% per annum, calculated as simple interest) or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Customers may be responsible for reasonable and legally recoverable collection costs, including collection agency fees, court costs, and legal expenses incurred in recovering overdue amounts.
RTS reserves the right to suspend shipments, withdraw credit privileges, require advance payment, or request satisfactory security if a customer's payment history or financial condition creates reasonable concerns regarding payment.
If a customer becomes insolvent, suspends payment, or materially defaults on an accepted commercial payment agreement, RTS may exercise available contractual and legal remedies, including suspending performance or terminating affected unfulfilled orders, subject to applicable law.
Where installment terms have been approved, a material payment default may result in outstanding installments becoming immediately due where permitted by the applicable agreement and law.
For business credit transactions, customers agree not to withhold or offset undisputed invoice amounts against unrelated claims unless otherwise agreed in writing or required by applicable law.
Disputed invoice amounts should be reported promptly to RTS Retail for review.
These commercial credit provisions do not apply to ordinary prepaid online checkout purchases unless expressly agreed.
5. Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss
RTS Retail ships products using parcel carriers, less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, full truckload transportation, and other appropriate shipping methods.
Shipping methods depend on product dimensions, weight, quantity, destination, and delivery requirements.
Production lead times, shipping dates, and delivery estimates are provided in good faith based on information reasonably available to RTS.
Unless expressly stated as guaranteed, delivery dates are estimates rather than guarantees.
RTS will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet agreed shipping timelines and will provide any delay notices, cancellation options, or refunds required by applicable law.
Commercial Freight Terms
For commercial orders expressly sold on FOB Origin terms, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer when the goods are delivered to the carrier at the designated RTS shipping facility, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
FOB Origin terms apply only where properly disclosed and incorporated into the applicable order or sales agreement.
Where no specific freight terms are agreed, title and risk of loss will transfer in accordance with applicable law.
The shipping terms specified in an accepted quotation, order acknowledgment, or separate written agreement will govern the applicable transaction.
Payment of shipping charges to RTS does not, by itself, determine when title or risk of loss transfers.
Nothing in these Terms overrides mandatory delivery or consumer protection laws.
Freight Receiving and Unloading
Customers receiving freight shipments are responsible for ensuring that their delivery location is suitable and accessible for the selected transportation method.
Unless expressly arranged and confirmed in writing, freight service may not include:
-
Liftgate service.
-
Inside delivery.
-
Unloading labor.
-
Forklift or other unloading equipment.
-
Installation or assembly.
-
Special handling or product placement.
Customers may be required to provide a loading dock, forklift, trained personnel, or other suitable equipment to unload goods safely.
Any special delivery requirements must be communicated before shipment arrangements are finalized.
Additional carrier charges for disclosed and agreed services, failed delivery attempts, limited-access locations, redelivery, or other customer-requested services may be billed to the customer, subject to applicable law.
Inspection and Damage Claims
Customers should inspect goods promptly upon delivery.
Visible shipping damage, shortages, or discrepancies should be documented on the carrier's delivery receipt wherever reasonably possible.
Customers should retain packaging, photograph the affected products, and notify RTS Retail promptly.
For commercial transactions, purchasers must notify RTS in writing within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of shortages, nonconformities, or defects that were reasonably discoverable through inspection upon delivery, unless a different period is expressly agreed or required by law.
Failure to provide timely notice may affect claims involving readily discoverable damage or discrepancies, to the extent permitted by law.
This inspection requirement does not eliminate warranty coverage for latent manufacturing defects that could not reasonably have been discovered through inspection upon delivery.
Such defects remain subject to the applicable written warranty terms.
Failed or Refused Deliveries
If a commercial customer is unable or unwilling to accept delivery as agreed, RTS may recover reasonable additional costs resulting from the failed delivery, including carrier fees, storage, handling, insurance, and redelivery expenses, where permitted by law.
If products are placed into storage as a result of the customer's failure to accept an agreed delivery, RTS may treat the goods as available for delivery and invoice or allocate storage-related risk and expenses in accordance with the accepted sales agreement and applicable law.
Additional Shipping Terms
Further information is available in the RTS Retail Shipping Policy.

You represent that you have the necessary rights to provide the Feedback and that it does not violate the rights of others.

15. Termination
RTS Retail may suspend or terminate access to the Services where a customer violates these Terms, engages in fraudulent activity, or creates a material security or commercial risk.
Termination of website access does not automatically terminate an existing accepted purchase agreement or relieve the customer of lawful payment obligations.
Commercial Default and Insolvency
If a commercial customer becomes insolvent, suspends payments, materially defaults on an accepted agreement, or fails to provide agreed payment security, RTS may exercise available contractual and legal remedies.
Such remedies may include suspension of shipments, withdrawal of credit privileges, or termination of affected unfulfilled orders, subject to applicable law.

RTS will provide reasonable notice of applicable claims and an opportunity for the customer to participate in the defense.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
