Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: September 28th, 2026
Welcome to Flag-Shop.ca (the “Website”). Please read these Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) carefully before placing an order. By accessing the Website and/or purchasing products from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
As used in these Terms, “The Flag Shop,” “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to the specific independent legal entity fulfilling your order, as outlined in Section 1 below.
1. Independent Operations & Regional Fulfillment
We are an online platform jointly utilized by two independently operated business entities. These locations share website operational costs but have no other financial, legal, or corporate ties, and neither entity is responsible for the liabilities, actions, or omissions of the other. Your order will be processed and fulfilled based on where the order is shipped geographically:
- Saskatoon Location: 627407 Saskatchewan Ltd. Fulfills and services all orders with shipping destinations within Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon.
- Manitoba Location: 7578955 Manitoba Ltd. fulfills and services all orders for all Canadian provinces and territories other that Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and Yukon, as well as all international and US destinations.
Your contract of sale is exclusively with the specific independent location that fulfills your order.
2. Currency, Pricing, and Taxes
- Currency: All prices displayed on the Website are in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
- Price Changes: Prices are subject to change without notice prior to our formal acceptance of your order. In the event of a pricing error or change after you submit an order, we will contact you for authorization before your order is processed or shipped.
- Taxes: All prices listed are NET and do not include federal, provincial, or local sales taxes. In Canada, GST, PST, and HST will be calculated and added to your order where applicable based on the delivery destination.
3. Payment Authorization and Order Verification
- Payment Processing: When you complete the checkout process, your payment method is authorized for the total amount. However, we do not capture (charge) the payment until all aspects of your order—including inventory availability, custom specifications, shipping rates, and pricing—are manually verified for accuracy.
- Right of Refusal: We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order prior to capturing payment and shipping the goods. If an order is cancelled by us, your authorization will be released, and you will not be charged.
4. Shipping, International Orders, and Risk of Loss
- FOB Origin: All shipments are sent FOB (Free on Board) The Flag Shop shipping dock. This means that ownership and the risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to you (the customer) the moment the package is handed over to the shipping carrier.
- Shipping Charges: Shipping charges are extra and calculated at checkout. For special shipping arrangements, please contact us directly before finalizing your order and completing checkout.
- Tracking & Insurance: Loss or damage of goods while in transit is the sole responsibility of the carrier. Unless you explicitly request and pay for additional shipping insurance, your shipment is uninsured. Please note that orders shipped via Lettermail are untracked and, as a result, cannot be insured; choose this shipping method at your own risk.
- Duties and Customs: International customers are exclusively responsible for all import duties, brokerage fees, VAT, and local customs taxes. These fees will be billed directly to you by the carrier or customs agency. If you are concerned about potential import costs, please contact us prior to ordering to receive an estimated calculation of what those charges may be, however, the final charges are out of our control and we cannot guarantee or provide confirmation as to the final costs, only an estimate.
5. Return, Exchange, and Refund Policy
- All Sales Are Final: Except as explicitly provided below, all sales made through the Website are final.
- 30-Day Exchanges: We permit exchanges on unused, standard stock items within thirty (30) calendar days of your receipt of the shipment. Items must be in their original packaging and in perfectly resalable condition.
- Return Shipping: The cost of return shipping for unwanted items or exchanges is the sole responsibility of the customer. We highly recommend using a trackable shipping service, as we cannot guarantee receipt of your returned item.
- Custom & Special Orders: We offer custom-made flags, banners, event displays, promotional products and other manufactured goods. All custom orders, special orders, and custom modifications are strictly non-refundable and entirely excluded from our 30-day exchange policy. If you have questions regarding a custom layout, please contact us prior to production.
6. Defective Goods
- 15-Day Reporting Window: If you receive an item that is manufacturing-defective or damaged prior to transit, you must report the defect to us within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of the shipment. Please contact the location that fulfilled your order with your invoice number and photographic evidence of the defect to arrange a replacement or store credit.
7. Product Warranties & Specific Exclusions
- No General Warranty: Unless explicitly communicated otherwise by us in writing at the time of purchase, we do not extend any warranty on its products.
- Environmental & Site Conditions: Flags, banners, and textile products are inherently considered “wearable goods” subject to outdoor elements. Because environmental factors (such as wind speeds, severe weather, UV/sun exposure, pollution, and physical friction) vary wildly by location, the operational lifespan of any flag or banner is entirely dependent on these site-specific conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
- Car and Antenna Flags: Due to the harsh and unpredictable conditions to which vehicle flags are subjected, there is absolutely no warranty on car flags or antenna flags, no matter how long or how short a time they have been used. These items are sold strictly “as-is”.
