TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Last Updated Date: June 9, 2021

Thank you for your interest in FTEX INC products. Your pre-order and purchase from FTEX INC (“FTEX”) is subject to a set of Terms and Conditions of use (“Terms and Conditions”) which describe how you use the FTEX website (“Website”), mobile applications, software, hardware products, and related services (“Products”).

By placing a pre-order or making a purchase on the FTEX Website, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions as well as the Privacy Policy. FTEX reserves the right to change, add or delete clauses of these Terms and Conditions at any time in its sole discretion without notice to you. You should review the Terms and Conditions each time you access the FTEX website for changes.

Pre-orders

We are working based on a long pre-launch list and we are only working on these pre-orders at this time.

To place a pre-order, you need to select the Products you are interested in on the FTEX website, add them to the shopping cart and complete the process.

Please enter your real name and surname, and make sure your email address and phone number are correct and matching your credit card. If you enter incorrect information, we will not be able to process your pre-order or contact you.

After you submit the pre-order on the FTEX Website, you will get an invoice/receipt. Only after getting your receipt will you be sure that FTEX has accepted and processed your order.

If you have not received a confirmation email, please double check your spam folder or the spelling of your email address in case of a typo. If this were the case, try placing the pre-order again, provide the correct email address, or an alternative email address.

Due to the popularity and/or restrictions placed on certain products, FTEX may limit the number of Products available for purchase. FTEX reserves the right to limit pre-orders under certain circumstances without prior notice.

Changing the pre-order

If you decide to add one or more additional controllers to your order we will fulfil your request for change so long as it is requested before shipping. These rules also apply if you decide to replace one type of controller in your pre-order with a different type. All sales are final.

Retail prices

Prices on the website are quoted in U.S. dollars (USD). 

Price changes

FTEX reserves the right to make price changes without notice. In the case of price being higher, you will still pay your pre-order price and in the case of price being lower, we will refund you the difference considering the 20% discount.

Wholesale prices

FTEX does not currently offer any wholesale prices on our website. Volume discounts, or other special terms for wholesale customers must be discussed with our sales team directly. You meat reach our team at sales@ftex.ca.

Waiting time

At the moment, FTEX is preparing for mass production. During this period, we produce the controllers in batches, which we distribute to our pre-order clients. Due to many external factors, which are difficult for FTEX to influence, we cannot guarantee you an exact date of receipt of your order.

Average waiting time

Waiting times can vary both upward and downward. We understand that such long waiting times may affect your plans for the development and improvement of your electric vehicle, but at this stage FTEX expects but cannot guarantee a 5 to 7 months lead time.

Force Majeure

FTEX is not responsible for any failure or delay in production or delivery caused by any reason beyond FTEX’s reasonable control, including compliance with any government or military regulation or natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, epidemic, extraterrestrial events, an uprising, revolution or disaster, accident, strike, lockout, factory closures or rebuilding, embargoes, riots or civil unrest, delays or shortages of transport, or the inability to obtain sufficient production materials and components from FTEX’s usual sources due to their discontinuation, renewal or termination of the supplier’s activities.

Taxes

FTEX’s pricing excludes all taxes, duties, and charges, regardless of when imposed, levied, collected, withheld, or assessed except for sales in Canada where we included taxes in the price.

Order delivery

FTEX is responsible for the delivery of the Products purchased by you on the FTEX Website. We insure each package and are responsible for its safety up to the moment of its receipt by the Buyer. However, once you take possession of the ordered Products, you are responsible for their loss or damage. The Products are considered to be in your possession when the courier delivers the package or you pick it up at a post office or shipping company.

If the shipping company damages or loses your order, FTEX will repair your Product or reship your order at its own expense.

Return

Products manufactured by FTEX are complex technical devices and cannot be exchanged or returned.

Limited Warranty

FTEX guarantees the quality of the assembly, the absence of defects in materials and components of the FTEX brand devices when using the Products in accordance with the user manual and technical specifications during the warranty period. FTEX guarantees that the Products conform with the published specifications of FTEX, and in the case of customizing the controllers for a specific Buyer, the specifications agreed with the Buyer at the time of shipment.

FTEX does not guarantee that its Products will meet Your purposes. In addition, FTEX does not guarantee that either the standard or custom parameter settings provided by FTEX will meet your purposes.

In addition, you are responsible for ensuring that any custom parameter settings requested from FTEX for uploading to the Product, or uploaded by you yourself or by a third party after you receive the Product, are consistent with the intended purpose and performance of the device.

FTEX provides a limited warranty that applies only to the first end customer and is not transferable to third parties.

Warranty service from FTEX

If you purchased a Product directly from FTEX and during the warranty period the Product does not function under the terms of the warranty, you can obtain after-sales service by contacting FTEX through sales@ftex.ca. For warranty service, you will need to provide valid proof of purchase, order number, or your other contacts, by which we can verify the fact of purchase.

When applying for warranty service, you must indicate the type of controller, manufacturer, and characteristics of the connected equipment (battery, electric motor, type of throttle, and brake levers) and describe in detail the technical problem or malfunction that you encountered. If the situation requires it, you can send photos or videos with a demonstration of the malfunction, controller settings, and on-board computer.

FTEX specialists will try to diagnose and solve your problem via email. We may advise you to download and install firmware updates, change display or controller settings, and check the quality and reliability of your connection.

If your problem cannot be resolved remotely or with a firmware update, you may need to ship your product to FTEX for further diagnostics. FTEX will repair or replace at no charge if the problem is covered by this limited warranty.

After accepting the device for repair, diagnostics and expert assessment of malfunctions are carried out to determine the repair period. Diagnostic and peer review times are not included during warranty repairs. The repair time depends on the complexity of the breakdown and can be up to 30 days. We do not provide another device for the duration of the repair.

Shipping of the defective Product is at the buyer’s expense. At the same time, the risks of damage to the device due to insufficient quality packaging lie on the buyer’s side. After repair or replacement, we will ship the Product to you at FTEX’s expense. If in the process of diagnostics we find out that the damage to the device was caused by reasons that are not covered by the warranty, then in this case the repair and return delivery are carried out at the expense of the buyer.
