- The product is still on EEC's most recent price list and has not been discontinued;

For health and safety reasons, some products are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. (Such as: Gift cards, Make-up, Nail polish, Cream, underwear, manicure or pedicure tools, etc.)
Prior to any refund, the products will be inspected and EEC reserves the right to reduce the refund amount as follows:
In the event of a return not attributable to a manufacturing defect or error on the part of EEC, EEC will charge a service and handling fee (re-shelving) of 25% of the value of the product for products of $100.00 CAD and less and 20% for products of $100.01 CAD and more;

Special orders
EEC offers the possibility to order items that are not part of the standard merchandise. However, a deposit equivalent to 25% of the total amount will be required at the time of ordering. In the event that the customer cancels the order, EEC reserves the right to keep this deposit to cover the cost of compensation. No returns/exchanges/cancellations will be allowed as these items are on special request and are not part of the company's regular merchandise.
Limited warranty on certain equipment
Offering a quality product is one of EEC's top priorities. EEC offers a limited warranty on certain equipment (see the equipment sheet or contact customer service to find out if the equipment has a warranty and for how long). This warranty is for the original owner only and the equipment must have been originally purchased from EEC;
EEC warrants the equipment to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of time (as specified in the equipment's data sheet) from the date of original purchase of the equipment by the original owner from EEC.

EEC reserves the right to deny free warranty coverage if the required documentation cannot be provided or if the information is incomplete, illegible or incorrect;
Defective equipment returned during the warranty period will be, at EEC's option:
- Repaired with new or reconditioned parts;
- Replaced with new or refurbished like or similar equipment;
Equipment returned under this warranty will be tested. If any equipment returned is in proper working order, as specified at the time of sale, the customer will be required to pay the sum of $25 per product tested to cover the cost of testing. In addition, the customer will be required to take back the returned equipment and pay for shipping costs, unless the customer authorizes EEC in writing to destroy the equipment;
Transportation charges, service call charges for travel to the customer's site and loaner charges for a replacement unit are not covered by the warranty and are the responsibility of the customer. If the equipment must be shipped back to the manufacturer, the customer will be responsible for the return shipping costs;
No repaired or replaced equipment (or part) extends the original warranty period beyond the original warranty period, calculated from the date of original purchase of the product;
The warranty does not cover physically damaged or non-functional equipment due to improper, inadequate or non-conforming use, handling, assembly or installation by the customer or user;
