Terms and Conditions

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. General Starlight Co., Inc. (read further "GSCI") Warrants its Optical Products against genuine Manufacturer’s defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 7 (seven) years from the original date of purchase. This warranty is limited only by certain parts and components such as image intensifier tubes, focal plain arrays (thermal cores), VNIR Cameras, LRF modules, LCD and OLED displays which are covered by their respective original Manufacturer’s warranty. In order to activate the warranty, the activation form must be submitted within 30 (thirty) calendar days or 1 (one) month after receiving the product. More details.

 

 

EXPORT PROCESS.  All GSCI-made products are ITAR-free, however, most of them require a Canadian Export Permit. Our professional logistics team provides assistance to our customers by applying for an Export Permit on their behalf at no cost; however, we have no control over the issuance process and the time it takes to receive the Export Permit. The issuance of an Export Permit is entirely up to the decision of the Canadian Export Control department, and relies heavily on how much accurate and valuable information has been provided by the End User and its intended End Use of ordered products.

 

 

WARRANTY LIMITATIONS. All GSCI products have been built in accordance to and fully comply with GSCI specifications. All electronic, mechanical and optical parts in our systems have been fully factory tested, aligned and calibrated. However, due to limited ability of GSCI to conduct the final mounting and zeroing of some systems on the End User’s guns or day time scopes – GSCI waives and discharge all further claims related to the possible problems, discrepancies and/or inability of the final End User to do the proper mounting and zeroing of its systems.

 

 

BREACH OF CONTRACT. In the event when the ordering Customer/Buyer wants to cancel an order or reduce volume of its order after receiving official confirmation from The Seller/GSCI in the form of a Proforma Invoice, a restocking fee will apply in the amount of minimum 25%. These restocking fees may be up to a maximum of 100% of the total volume of the contract. These fees will be used to cover GSCI operating expenses related to the current contract in question, such as ordered parts, components, labour, office operating expenses, etc.

However, if GSCI bears other loses and damages such as intellectual property, market share, losing business due to the contract in dispute, then all discovered issues must be first resolved between the two parties by mutually acceptable compromise, otherwise in the Court Of Law, Ontario, Canada.

Unless otherwise agreed in the sales quotation or sales contract, payment of Purchase Price is to be made by an initial non-refundable deposit of 50%. This deposit will activate GSCI Job Order and become immediately due upon presentation of Proforma Invoice by GSCI. The balance shall be due and payable as per Proforma Invoice terms agreed by both parties. GSCI is not obliged to perform any of its obligations set out in the relevant Contract until Buyer has paid the initial deposit and follow up payments as stipulated.

If Buyer fails to pay the amount of money scheduled in the Proforma Invoice in full by the date when it has become due ("Due Date"), then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to GSCI, Buyer shall pay interest on the total overdue amount at the rates of minimum 1.5% and maximum 20% per month. These interest rates are based on the source which GSCI uses as third party financing. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the Due Date until the date of actual payment of the total overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.

Should Buyer default in paying any sum due under this Contract as and when such sum becomes due, then GSCI shall have the right either to (i) suspend further deliveries and/or cease any services on site until the default be made good or (ii) immediately cancel this Contract in respect of any balance of Goods then due for delivery and/or installation then due for completion.

Unless otherwise agreed, if Buyer refuses or fails to take delivery of the Goods (otherwise than by reason of Seller's default) after 30 days of the expected delivery date, then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Seller, Seller may: (i) terminate this contract with immediate effect and retain the Purchase Price or deposit paid by Buyer as liquidated damages; (ii) recover damages from Buyer for any and all losses suffered as a result of Buyer's breach or termination; (iii) sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and charge Buyer for any shortfall below the Purchase Price; or (iv) arrange for the storage of the Goods at Buyer's risk and cost and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all expenses incurred in connection with that storage until actual delivery, including insurance.

Seller shall not be liable for any losses, damages, costs and expenses directly or indirectly suffered by Buyer (including but without limitation to, loss of profits, loss of savings, loss of goodwill, loss of revenue or loss of contracts incurred by Buyer, whether anticipated or actual, or any special indirect or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever) or any action, claims and proceedings taken against Buyer by any third party or parties in connection with, incidental to and consequential upon the purchase, operation and use of the Goods, including but without limitation to, any losses and damages resulting from the interruption or failure in the operation of the Goods.

 

 

PAYMENT TERMS. All ordered goods, parts, components or finished products shall remain the sole and absolute property of GSCI until the ordering Customer has paid to GSCI in full for the ordered Goods and cleared all debts such as interest, export applications fees, shipping or insurance cost and others. No goods shall leave GSCI facilities until they are fully prepaid. GSCI honors and obliges to pay all bills for products which are delivered, tested and fully compliant, as well as for services which are ordered and approved by GSCI Management in writing only in the form of an official GSCI issued Purchase Order or Contract. No electronic means are considered and accepted as official approval of purchase, only hard copies which are explicitly signed and executed by the official signatory of GSCI.

 

 

PRICES. GSCI reserves the right to change prices for any of its products at any time without prior notice, in case if price changes have been caused by one or several factors including but not limited to: shortages and/or cost increase of optical, electronic parts and components, focal plane arrays, displays, image intensifier tubes, laser rangefinding modules, CPUs, capacitors, transistors and others, increased cost of raw materials, such as Germanium Glass and Aluminum, increased transportation costs, use of emergency stock of components purchased for higher than normal prices (“premium prices”), urgent orders which result in usage of additional resources, such as labour, operational, shipping expenses increases, etc. A detailed schedule of Manufacturer's new pricing will be provided upon a valid request. Subject to the terms described herein, any changes in Prices shall not affect officially issued Quotes with set expiration dates or any running orders that have been placed and confirmed by deposit(s).
