1. Acceptance of These Terms
Welcome to the website of Jts Custom Interiors Limited, operating as JTS Interiors, at 182 Vancouver St, OSHAWA - L1J 5X4, Canada (CA). These terms of service govern your access to and use of this website and the services described on it, including computer systems design and computer integrated systems design.
By accessing the website, requesting information, or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the website or our services. We may update these terms from time to time, as described later in this document.
Where these terms refer to the Company, we mean Jts Custom Interiors Limited and its team members. Where these terms refer to you, we mean any visitor to the website or any client who engages our services.
2. About Our Services
JTS Interiors provides professional, scientific, and technical services in the computer systems design and computer integrated systems design fields, together with related interior and technology consulting. Services may include feasibility studies, system architecture, network design, technology integration, building automation, structured cabling, audiovisual systems, and ongoing support.
Our work combines technical expertise with a considered design approach, so the systems we build fit comfortably into the spaces our clients live and work in. The exact scope of each engagement is defined in a written proposal accepted by both parties before work begins.
Nothing on this website is a guarantee that a particular service is available, suitable for your situation, or in stock, and you should confirm current details with our team before relying on any description.
3. Eligibility and Use of the Website
You must be at least eighteen years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to enter into a contract with us or to provide information through this website. By using the website, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that any information you provide is accurate and complete.
You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not restrict or inhibit any other user. You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website, our systems, or any networks connected to our services, and not to interfere with the normal operation of the site.
We may limit or refuse access to the website at any time for any lawful reason, including if we reasonably believe you are misusing it or breaching these terms.
4. Website Content and Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this website accurate and current. However, the content is provided for general information only and does not constitute professional advice, an offer, or a binding commitment. Descriptions of services, project examples, and technical details may change over time.
You should confirm current details with our team before relying on any information found on this website. Project examples shown on the site are provided to illustrate the kind of work we do and do not represent a promise that the same result can be achieved for every project.
We may update, correct, or remove content at any time without prior notice. We are not liable for any reliance you place on content that is out of date.
5. Requests and Proposals
Information submitted through our website, including enquiries and requests for proposals, does not create a binding agreement by itself. We review each enquiry and respond with a proposal when appropriate. A contract between us and you is formed only when you accept a written proposal, usually by signing the proposal or issuing a written purchase order, and when any required deposit is received.
No work begins until both parties have agreed on scope and price. Any work we undertake before a signed agreement, such as a paid consultation or a site survey, is governed by the specific arrangement for that work.
We are not obliged to accept any proposal request, and we may decline a project for any lawful reason, including capacity, scheduling, or suitability.
6. Fees and Payment
Fees for services are set out in the relevant proposal or contract. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are payable within the terms stated on each invoice. Deposits may be required before design work begins, and milestone payments are common on larger projects.
All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless the contract says otherwise, and any applicable taxes are additional. Late payments may be subject to interest at the rate allowed by law and may result in suspension of work as described later in these terms.
Where a project is cancelled by you after it has started, we are entitled to payment for all work completed and expenses properly incurred up to the date of cancellation, in line with the contract.
7. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate and timely information about your project, to grant access to the property as needed, to obtain any permissions required from owners or landlords, and to make decisions within agreed time frames. Delays in providing information, approvals, or access may affect schedules and costs.
Where you supply materials, drawings, or specifications, you are responsible for their completeness and accuracy. We rely on the information you provide, and we will point out obvious risks, but the final responsibility for the accuracy of that information rests with you.
You also agree to keep your building and its occupants safe during our work and to follow any reasonable health and safety instructions we give you on site.
8. Project Timelines
Any timeline shown in a proposal is an estimate made in good faith, not a guarantee. Dates may shift due to factors outside our control, including weather, supply availability, third-party delays, and changes in scope. We will keep you informed of significant changes as soon as they are known.
We are not liable for delays caused by events we could not reasonably foresee or control. Where a delay is caused by us and results in measurable extra cost to you, we will work with you to address it fairly, but our overall liability remains limited as described in these terms.
You agree that time is not of the essence for any delivery date in a proposal unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
9. Changes to Scope
If you request changes after a project begins, we will confirm the impact on scope, schedule, and cost in writing before proceeding. Additional work outside the agreed scope is billed at the rates set out in the proposal or at current standard rates.
No change is binding until both parties agree to it in writing. We will not begin change work on a speculative basis, and you will not be charged for work you did not agree to.
Where a requested change is small and would not affect cost or schedule, we may complete it as part of the original scope at our discretion and confirm it in our notes.
10. Intellectual Property
Unless agreed otherwise in writing, all designs, drawings, plans, specifications, system architecture, software, and other materials we create for your project remain our intellectual property until payment for the relevant work is received in full. Upon full payment, we grant you a non-exclusive license to use the deliverables for the purpose of your own project.
We retain the right to reuse techniques and ideas that are not specific to your project, such as general methods, standard details, and internal processes. We also retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio, subject to the confidentiality and privacy commitments in our agreements.
You may not use our designs or deliverables for any purpose other than your own project without our written permission.
11. Client Materials and Information
You retain ownership of any materials you provide to us, including drawings, photographs, and specifications. You grant us a license to use those materials for the purpose of completing your project and, with your consent, for portfolio and promotional purposes.
You represent that you have the right to provide the materials and that they do not infringe the rights of any third party. Where you provide materials on behalf of another person or business, you confirm that you have authority to do so.
We will return or destroy your materials at the end of the project in line with the retention practices described in our privacy policy, unless the contract says otherwise.
12. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential information received in connection with a project, including business plans, technical details, and personal information, and to use it only for the purposes of the project. This obligation continues after the project ends.
The obligation does not apply to information that is already public, is received from a third party without restriction, or is required to be disclosed by law. Where disclosure is required by law, the disclosing party will give the other party notice where practical.
We will ask any subcontractor or supplier who handles your confidential information to respect it in the same way.
13. Third-Party Products and Services
Some projects involve products and services supplied by third parties, including software, hardware, and cloud platforms. We select these partners carefully, but we do not control their products. Their own terms and conditions apply to their products, and you should review them before relying on those products.
Where we resell or recommend third-party products, we will point you to the relevant terms so you understand the responsibilities of each party. Licenses for software are granted by the software provider, not by us.
We are not responsible for the availability, security, or performance of third-party platforms, although we will help you troubleshoot issues with products we installed as part of the agreed service.
14. Warranty and Disclaimer
We perform our services with reasonable skill and care and stand behind our workmanship as described in the proposal. Any warranty we provide for a specific installation is set out in the signed contract for that work.
Software, hardware, and third-party platforms are provided on an as available basis by their respective providers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our services are provided without any warranties other than those expressly set out in a signed contract.
We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to the extent allowed by law. Nothing in these terms limits any warranty or liability that cannot be limited by law.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with a project, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to the fees paid to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits, lost data, or loss of use, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.
Where a project involves professional design liability, the contract for that project will set out the specific insurance and liability arrangements agreed between the parties.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JTS Interiors and our team from and against claims, losses, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, your use of the website, or your breach of the responsibilities described in this agreement.
This includes any claim that materials you provided infringe the rights of a third party, and any claim arising from misuse of the website or of the systems we deliver. The obligation to indemnify continues after these terms end, to the extent the claim relates to events that occurred while the terms were in effect.
We will give you prompt notice of any claim and reasonable assistance in defending it, at your expense where appropriate.
17. Term and Termination
These terms apply for as long as you use the website or receive our services. Either party may terminate a project contract as set out in that contract, and the termination provisions of that contract will govern the consequences.
We may suspend or terminate your access to any online portals or tools we provide if you breach these terms or the relevant contract. On termination, you must pay for all work completed and expenses incurred up to the date of termination.
Provisions of these terms that are intended to survive termination, including those on intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will continue to apply.
18. Suspension of Services
We may suspend work without notice if payment is overdue, if you fail to provide required information or access, or if we are required to do so by law or by a safety concern. During a suspension, the timeline is paused and any additional costs are for your account.
We will resume work promptly once the reason for suspension is resolved. Where a suspension continues for a significant period, either party may treat the contract as terminated under its own terms.
We will always explain the reason for a suspension and what is needed to resume, so there is no confusion about the status of your project.
19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation before pursuing any other remedy.
Where negotiation does not resolve the matter, disputes will be submitted to the courts of Ontario, Canada, unless a specific contract for a project provides otherwise. Both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Nothing in these terms prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a court where necessary to protect its rights.
20. Entire Agreement
These terms, together with any signed proposal or contract, form the entire agreement between you and JTS Interiors and supersede all prior discussions, proposals, and understandings. Any terms presented in a purchase order or other document that conflict with these terms will not be effective unless we accept them in writing.
You confirm that you have not relied on any statement or representation not set out in these terms or in the signed contract. This does not limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Any amendment to these terms or to a signed contract must be made in writing and agreed by both parties.
21. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
The invalidity of one provision does not affect the validity of the rest of the agreement. Where a provision is found to be too broad, it will be interpreted as narrowly as necessary to make it enforceable.
This section ensures that a single unenforceable clause cannot bring down the whole agreement.
22. Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later. A waiver of any breach is not a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver is effective unless it is made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of JTS Interiors.
We may choose not to exercise a right on one occasion without losing that right for the future. This section protects the consistency and predictability of the agreement for both parties.
If you believe we have waived a right in your favour, you should obtain written confirmation from us before relying on it.
23. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this website with an updated effective date. Material changes will be noted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
By continuing to use the website after changes are posted, you accept the revised terms. If you do not agree with the revised terms, you should stop using the website and contact us about any active project.
Changes to these terms do not retroactively change the terms of a signed contract unless both parties agree in writing.
