Part IV - Delivery
4.1 We ship nationwide with the exception of Nunavut, the Yukon, and Northwest Territories.
4.2 Charmy generally uses third party services for shipping and therefore all Products purchased are made pursuant to a shipment contract whereby the title to and the risk of loss of such products passes to you upon delivery of the products to you. Following the delivery, the condition and consumption of the Products are at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper handling, storage, use and consumption of the Products. Charmy is not responsible or liable for any action(s) or inaction(s) of such third parties and/or its agents, and shall not be liable for any delay or loss of any kind, which occurs while a shipment is in custody or control of a third party.
4.3 Shipping times and dates are estimates and actuals may vary due to weather conditions and other factors, some of which may be outside of our control. If there are events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver the Products to you on your scheduled delivery day, we will attempt to deliver your Products as soon as possible. In the event that we remain unable to deliver your Products, we will issue you a full refund or a Credit for the purchase price of that delivery. You are responsible for the purchase price of the Products if we are unable to make your delivery at your confirmed address at the specified time due to reasons caused by you.
4.4 We consider the Products delivered when the third-party courier service arrives, and surrenders custody of the Products in accordance with the delivery instructions you have specified in your Charmy Account. We will presume that any individual present at the location specified in the delivery instructions is authorized to receive the delivery on your behalf. If there is no individual present at the location specified in the delivery instructions, we will leave the package unattended at the address or location you have specified. You are responsible for ensuring the clarity and completeness of the delivery instructions provided to us.
4.5 You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon their delivery to you. You are solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive. Should the Products not be consumable upon their delivery to you, please let us know and we will handle the matter in accordance with our return policy.
4.6 You are responsible for the Products as of the moment when the courier gives up custody of the Products in accordance with the instructions in your Charmy Account.
4.7 Upon reception and following inspection of any delivered Products, you are responsible for keeping the food in a cool dark place, as well as following all food safety, safe food handling instructions and food consumption recommendations from the Ontario, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, OMAFRA & Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to reduce risks of foodborne illnesses.

5.1 We may occasionally offer new or existing customers a promotional offer in connection with their use or potential use of the Services or the purchase of Products (each a “Special Offer”).

From time to time, a Special Offer may consist of discounted prices for a defined number of months upon the opening of Charmy Account or re-subscribing to a Subscription (a “30% off”).
5.2 Should you take advantage of any promotional offer, and such offer ends, you acknowledge and agree that we (or our third-party payment processor) will begin billing your designated payment method on a recurring basis for your Subscription (plus any applicable taxes) for as long as your Subscription continues, unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the end of the offer.

Credits, are promotional in nature, are not transferable, may only be redeemed as instructed by us and are not exchangeable for cash or other property.
6.2 Credits only remain available if you maintain both an active Charmy Account and an active Subscription. Cancelling your Subscription or Charmy Account will result in the cancellation of your Credits. You may only redeem Credits after they are applied to your Charmy Account. Any decision made by us regarding a dispute as to your Credit balance is final.
