Speaker Purchase & Deposit Terms

This purchase agreement contract is made and entered into upon payment of the initial deposit, whereas Automatic Audio agrees to provide audio equipment and related services to the Client, and the Client agrees to purchase such equipment and services under the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement. This is an abbreviated version of the terms, a full list of terms and conditions can be obtained upon request.

1. Payment Terms

Initial payment: The initial invoice covers only the equipment, accessories, and services listed in your cart. Unless explicitly stated in the invoice or outlined in a separate service agreement, no additional products or services are included.

Deposit Amount: Purchasing speakers via our website is considered a deposit that covers the cost of the speaker being built only, this does not include delivery, or any services. The deposit reserves your place in our production schedule. For orders of more than 2 speakers, only a 50% deposit is required - contact us for more details.

Remaining Balance: The remaining balance must be paid in full prior to the delivery and installation of the equipment. A tentative deadline for final payment will be provided by Automatic Audio upon receipt of the initial deposit, and a had deadline for final payment will be set 2 weeks before the order is ready to be fulfilled. The remaining balance will include delivery fees and any other services (installation, tuning, customs brokerage).

Invoice Due Dates: The full balance must be paid before the scheduled delivery date. If the Client fails to pay the outstanding balance, the order will not be released for the scheduled delivery and the Client will incur delivery rescheduling fees. If a client fails to make payment 40 days after the final invoice’s hard due date, the order will be cancelled without refund.

2. Delivery and Installation Terms

Delivery Confirmation: The Client will be notified of the confirmed delivery date and installation timeline once the full balance has been paid. If the Client requests a change to the confirmed delivery or installation date after confirmation, additional fees apply. The Client must pay these fees to release the order for rescheduling.

Delivery Fees: Delivery fees are separate from the equipment and installation costs and must be paid in full prior to delivery. These fees will include customs brokerage fees for deliveries outside Canada.

Rigging Services: No rigging services are included with the purchase of the speakers. If the Client requires rigging, Automatic Audio can either provide the service at a fixed day rate, sub-contract the service, or recommend third-party providers.

System Tuning Services: System tuning is not included in the delivery fee or the price of the speakers. This service is billed at a fixed hourly rate, and separate arrangements must be made with Automatic Audio for tuning services.

3. Cancellation and Refund Policy

Non-Refundable Deposit: Once the initial deposit is paid via our online store checkout, 50% of its total is non-refundable. In the event of a cancellation by the Client or failure to pay the outstanding balance, the deposit (50% of the total invoice for speakers) will not be refunded.

Refund for Overpayment: If the Client has paid more than 50% of the total invoice pertaining to the sale of speakers, the difference will be refunded, minus any applicable fees related to services and non-returnable products. After delivery, products fall under Automatic Audio’ warranty terms.

Order Cancellation Due to Non-Payment: If the Client has not paid the outstanding balance within 40 days of the final payment deadline, the order will be cancelled without refund of the initial deposit.

4. Acknowledgment

By paying the initial deposit, the Client acknowledges and agrees to all terms and conditions outlined in this agreement. The payment of the deposit serves as confirmation of the Client’s acceptance of these terms and initiates the processing of the order. No changes to this agreement will be accepted unless agreed upon in writing by both parties.
