1. Acceptance of These Terms

Welcome to Sunrise Garden Center.

These Website Terms of Use ("Terms," "Terms of Use," or "Agreement") govern your access to and use of the website located at sunrisegarden.site, including its webpages, online store, product listings, customer account features, forms, written content, graphics, photographs, product information, promotions, communications, and other services made available through the website (collectively, the "Website").

By accessing, browsing, creating an account on, submitting information through, or otherwise using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms.

If you purchase products through the Website, your transaction is also subject to all applicable sales, payment, shipping, return, refund, and other policies presented to you before or at the time of purchase.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue use of the Website.

2. Website Operator and Merchant Identity

Sunrise United Garden Center is a trade name and business operation of:

For customer transparency, merchant processing, banking verification, and regulatory purposes, Sunrise United Corporation is the legal entity operating Sunrise United Garden Center and conducting the applicable e-commerce activities through sunrisegarden.site.

The business information published on the Website should remain consistent with the information provided to Sunrise Garden Center's bank, merchant acquirer, payment processor, corporate registry, and other applicable service providers.

If “Sunrise Garden Center,” “Sunrise Garden,” or “Sunrise United Garden Center” is used on the Website, those names may refer to the same operating business where properly registered or otherwise lawfully used.

3. Relationship Between Website Use and Purchases

These Terms govern the use of the Website generally. A purchase made through the Website creates additional contractual obligations between Sunrise Garden Center and the purchaser.

Before completing an online transaction, customers may also be required to review or acknowledge additional policies, including:

• Terms & Conditions of Sale
• Payment & Security Policy
• Shipping & Delivery Policy
• Returns & Refunds Policy
• Privacy Policy
• Damaged Orders Policy
• Any product-specific conditions disclosed before checkout

Where a product-specific term expressly differs from a general Website term, the more specific term will ordinarily apply to that product or transaction, subject to applicable law.

4. Eligibility to Use the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes.

By placing an order or creating a customer account, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into the applicable transaction or are otherwise authorized to act on behalf of the individual, company, institution, or organization identified in the transaction.

Individuals who have not reached the age of legal capacity in their jurisdiction should use purchasing features only with the involvement and permission of a parent, guardian, or other legally authorized adult.

Sunrise Garden Center does not intentionally contract with individuals who lack legal capacity to enter into the applicable transaction.

5. Permitted Use of the Website

Sunrise Garden Center grants Website visitors a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Website for lawful personal or legitimate commercial purchasing purposes. This permission does not transfer ownership of Website content or intellectual property.

You may browse products, review educational material, submit legitimate inquiries, create an account, make authorized purchases, manage legitimate orders, and use other features for their intended purposes.

Use of the Website for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or unauthorized purposes is prohibited.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You must not use the Website in a manner that could harm Sunrise Garden Center, its customers, its technology providers, its payment partners, or other users.

Prohibited activities include:

• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to Website systems or server infrastructure.
• Introducing malicious software, viruses, worms, or ransomware.
• Interfering with normal Website operation or performing denial-of-service attacks.
• Scraping or harvesting data contrary to applicable law or express written permission.
• Impersonating another individual, business, or entity.
• Submitting fraudulent payment information or using stolen credentials.
• Creating false customer accounts or attempting unauthorized chargebacks.
• Making knowingly false claims about transactions or delivery status.
• Circumventing security controls or exploiting pricing/technical errors.
• Using Website content for unlawful commercial purposes or submitting inaccurate form information.

Sunrise Garden Center may restrict or suspend Website access where reasonably necessary to protect its customers, systems, employees, payment providers, or legitimate business interests.

7. Customer Accounts

Certain Website functionality may permit customers to create an account.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate account information and maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials.

You are responsible for activity performed through your account to the extent permitted by law, except where activity results from a security failure for which Sunrise Garden Center is legally responsible.

You should notify Sunrise Garden Center promptly if you reasonably believe that your account has been accessed without authorization. Sunrise Garden Center may require additional verification before changing sensitive account information or processing unusually high-value or unusual transactions.

8. Account Security

Customers should use passwords that are reasonably strong and unique. You should not share your customer password with unauthorized persons.

9. Electronic Communications

By using the Website, submitting an order, creating an account, or contacting Sunrise Garden Center electronically, you consent to receiving transactional electronic communications reasonably necessary to administer your request or transaction.

These communications may include order confirmations, payment notifications, fraud-verification requests, shipping notifications, delivery updates, cancellation notices, refund communications, account-security notifications, or customer-service messages.

Transactional communications are separate from promotional marketing communications. Where Canadian anti-spam legislation (CASL) applies to commercial electronic marketing, Sunrise Garden Center should obtain and maintain appropriate consent and provide required identification and unsubscribe functionality. Canadian government guidance states that CASL generally requires consent for commercial electronic messages and requires unsubscribe requests to be actioned within the applicable period.

10. Product Categories

Sunrise Garden Center may offer products including, but not limited to:

Vegetable seeds, herb seeds, flower seeds, microgreen seeds, bulk seeds, seed assortments, growing supplies, soils, fertilizers, plant foods, mulches, seed-starting supplies, gardening accessories, and other lawful garden or agricultural products.

Available product categories may change without notice. The availability of a product on the Website does not guarantee permanent availability.

11. Product Information

Sunrise Garden Center makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate and understandable product information. Product descriptions may include variety, size, quantity, weight, growing characteristics, planting information, packaging, intended use, photographs, availability, and other information.

Natural products and agricultural materials may vary in appearance. Photographs are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the product but may appear different depending on screen settings, crop, lighting, production batch, packaging revision, seasonal variation, or other reasonable factors.

Sunrise Garden Center should not intentionally use materially misleading photographs or descriptions. The Competition Bureau advises businesses not to use product photographs or illustrations that materially differ from what is actually being sold.

12. Seeds and Natural Agricultural Products

Seeds are biological and agricultural products. Seed performance may vary because of environmental and cultivation conditions beyond the control of Sunrise Garden Center.

Factors affecting germination, establishment, growth, yield, colour, flavour, maturity, or plant performance can include soil condition, moisture, irrigation, temperature, light, planting depth, fertility, growing medium, climate, storage, pests, disease, weather, transplanting methods, agricultural practices, and other environmental conditions.

Unless an express written germination or product warranty states otherwise, general planting or growing information is intended as guidance rather than a guarantee of a particular growing result. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory legal warranty or consumer right.

13. Growing Information

Planting dates, germination periods, harvest periods, spacing, planting depth, growth characteristics, hardiness information, and other growing recommendations may be estimates.

Customers should consider their local climate, growing zone, weather conditions, applicable agricultural guidance, and individual growing conditions. A planting recommendation that is appropriate in one part of Canada may not be appropriate in another region.

Sunrise Garden Center does not guarantee that generalized educational information will produce identical results in every environment.

14. Agricultural and Import Restrictions

Certain seeds, soil materials, plant products, fertilizers, agricultural goods, or other gardening products may be restricted in particular provinces, states, territories, countries, or agricultural zones.

Availability on the Website does not automatically mean that every product may lawfully be shipped to every location. Sunrise Garden Center reserves the right to decline or cancel a shipment when it determines that a product cannot lawfully or reasonably be shipped to the requested destination.

International customers are responsible for complying with applicable import requirements unless Sunrise Garden Center expressly agrees in writing to handle a particular requirement.

15. Product Availability

All products are subject to availability. Inventory levels may change rapidly. A product displayed as available may become unavailable because of inventory discrepancies, supplier issues, damaged inventory, seasonal availability, order volume, technical errors, or other circumstances.

If Sunrise Garden Center cannot fulfill an ordered product, it may contact the customer and, depending on the circumstances: offer an approved substitute, place an item on backorder with the customer's consent, partially fulfill an order, cancel the affected product, or issue an appropriate refund.

A materially different substitute should not be shipped without customer approval.

16. Pricing

Sunrise Garden Center intends to display accurate product pricing. Unless otherwise expressly stated, Website prices should be displayed in Canadian Dollars (CAD).

Applicable sales taxes and permitted variable delivery costs may be calculated during checkout according to the destination and transaction.

Sunrise Garden Center should not intentionally impose undisclosed mandatory non-government fees after advertising an otherwise unattainable price. Canadian Competition Bureau guidance states that advertised prices should be attainable and identifies mandatory hidden non-governmental fees as potentially unlawful drip pricing.

17. Sale and Promotional Pricing

Discounts, promotional prices, coupon codes, quantity discounts, introductory offers, and other promotions may be subject to stated conditions and expiration periods.

Where Sunrise Garden Center represents a price as discounted from a regular or ordinary selling price, the reference price should be genuine and supportable. The Competition Bureau states that businesses should not create artificial regular prices merely to make a promotional discount appear greater than it actually is.

Sunrise Garden Center may correct an obvious pricing error before accepting or fulfilling an affected order, subject to applicable law.

18. Taxes

Customers are responsible for applicable taxes imposed on their transaction. Sunrise Garden Center will collect and remit sales taxes where required.

Applicable taxes may include GST, HST, PST, or other taxes depending on the products, destination, and applicable law. Where required, tax amounts will be identified during checkout or on the customer's transaction documentation.

19. Errors in Website Information

Despite reasonable efforts, the Website may occasionally contain typographical errors, incorrect descriptions, technical errors, pricing errors, outdated availability information, broken links, or other mistakes. Sunrise Garden Center may correct errors when discovered.

If an error materially affects an order already submitted, Sunrise Garden Center will take reasonable steps to communicate with the customer before fulfillment or provide an appropriate cancellation or refund where required.

Nothing in this provision authorizes Sunrise Garden Center to engage in misleading advertising or disregard non-waivable consumer rights.

20. Online Orders

Submitting an order through the Website constitutes an offer by the customer to purchase the identified products under the applicable terms.

Receipt of an automated order confirmation does not necessarily mean the order has completed all fraud, inventory, payment, or fulfillment review. Sunrise Garden Center may reasonably review an order before final acceptance or shipment.

Order review may include inventory confirmation, payment authorization, address review, fraud screening, product restrictions, and other legitimate fulfillment controls.

21. Required Internet Sales Information

For applicable Alberta consumer internet transactions, Sunrise Garden Center should provide required information clearly before the customer enters into the contract.

Alberta's Internet Sales Contract guidance identifies information such as the business name, address and telephone number; product description; itemized pricing and associated costs; taxes and shipping; potentially applicable additional charges; currency; payment terms; cancellation/return/refund policies; delivery arrangements; and other material conditions. It also states that customers should have an opportunity to accept or decline the transaction and correct errors immediately before entering into it.

Sunrise Garden Center's checkout should therefore present accurate order details before the customer submits payment.

22. Order Confirmation and Contract Copy

Where required by applicable law, Sunrise Garden Center will provide customers with appropriate electronic documentation of their completed transaction.

Order documentation may include the customer's name, order date, order number, purchased products, prices, taxes, shipping charges, total transaction amount, payment information summary, delivery information, and applicable terms. Customers should retain their confirmation for their records.

Alberta guidance states that qualifying internet sellers must provide consumers with a copy of the internet sales contract in writing or electronic form within the prescribed period.

23. Correction of Checkout Errors

Before submitting an order, customers should be provided a reasonable opportunity to review and correct relevant information, including product selection, quantities, shipping address, billing information, shipping method, and order total.

Customers are responsible for reviewing their order before final submission. Where a customer discovers an error after submission, Sunrise Garden Center should be contacted promptly. Changes cannot always be guaranteed after an order enters fulfillment.

24. Payment Authorization

Payment methods available for a particular purchase are displayed during checkout. Submission of payment information authorizes the applicable payment provider to process the transaction according to its rules and the customer's agreement with that provider.

A payment authorization may occur before shipment. Payment authorization does not by itself mean that the order has been packed or dispatched.

25. Secure Payment Processing

Sunrise Garden Center uses secure electronic checkout processes and may rely on authorized third-party payment processors. Payment information may be transmitted directly to a payment processor rather than stored by Sunrise Garden Center.

Sunrise Garden Center does not intentionally retain payment-card security codes such as CVV, CVC, or CID after authorization. Customers should review the separate Payment & Security Policy for additional information about payment security and fraud-prevention procedures.

26. Fraud Prevention

Sunrise Garden Center may conduct reasonable transaction verification to protect customers and the business. Verification may consider billing information, shipping information, payment authorization, transaction amount, purchase history, order quantity, customer contact information, fraud-screening information made available by service providers, requests for post-payment shipping changes, and other transaction-risk indicators.

Additional identification or business verification may be requested for unusual, commercial, bulk, wholesale, or high-value orders where reasonably necessary. Sunrise Garden Center may decline or cancel a transaction reasonably believed to be fraudulent, unauthorized, prohibited, or unverifiable.

27. High-Value Transactions

Large bulk, wholesale, freight, institutional, or commercial orders may be subject to enhanced verification. Sunrise Garden Center may verify the purchaser, business identity, delivery location, authorized representative, payment authorization, shipping requirements, or other reasonable information.

Additional fulfillment controls may include insured shipping, signature confirmation, freight documentation, delivery receipts, or direct customer confirmation. These procedures are designed to reduce payment fraud, unauthorized purchases, delivery disputes, and chargebacks.

28. Order Cancellation by Sunrise Garden Center

Sunrise Garden Center may cancel all or part of an order where reasonably necessary because of suspected fraud, unauthorized payment activity, inventory unavailability, pricing errors, incorrect product information, shipping restrictions, destination restrictions, failure of payment authorization, inability to verify a transaction, legal requirements, or other legitimate fulfillment issues.

Where payment has already been captured for a cancelled product, an appropriate refund will ordinarily be issued to the original payment method.

29. Customer Cancellation

Customers wishing to cancel an order should contact Sunrise Garden Center promptly. An order that has not yet entered final fulfillment may be cancellable according to the applicable cancellation policy.

Once an order has shipped, the transaction will generally be handled under the Returns & Refunds Policy rather than as an unshipped cancellation. Mandatory statutory cancellation rights remain unaffected.

30. Alberta Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms eliminates rights provided under Alberta's Consumer Protection Act where that legislation applies.

Alberta states that consumers cannot waive protections under the Consumer Protection Act and may have cancellation or other remedies in specified circumstances, including certain internet transactions.

Accordingly, any provision of these Terms that conflicts with a non-waivable statutory consumer right will apply only to the maximum extent legally permitted.

31. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping is governed by the Sunrise Garden Center Shipping & Delivery Policy. Available shipping methods, processing times, delivery estimates, tracking availability, shipping costs, destination eligibility, bulk-order procedures, freight requirements, and international-shipping conditions may vary.

Estimated delivery dates are estimates unless a service is expressly identified as guaranteed. Weather, carrier disruptions, customs inspections, agricultural inspections, remote-area conditions, labor disruptions, and other events beyond Sunrise Garden Center's reasonable control may affect delivery.

32. Title, Delivery and Risk

Where legally permitted, delivery is generally considered completed when the applicable carrier records delivery to the shipping address provided by the customer. Higher-value shipments may require signature or other delivery confirmation.

This provision does not prevent a customer from reporting legitimate loss, damage, misdelivery, or non-delivery. Claims will be reviewed according to applicable policies, carrier records, and law.

33. Incorrect Shipping Information

Customers are responsible for entering complete and accurate shipping information. Sunrise Garden Center will make reasonable efforts to assist with address corrections before shipment.

Once a shipment has been transferred to a carrier, an address change may not be possible. Additional costs resulting from an inaccurate address supplied by the customer may be the customer's responsibility where legally permitted and properly disclosed.

34. International Orders

International availability depends on product type, destination, carrier availability, and applicable law. International customers may be responsible for customs duties, taxes, brokerage fees, import assessments, permits, phytosanitary requirements, and similar destination charges unless expressly included in the purchase price.

Sunrise Garden Center does not control customs or government inspection timelines. A destination displayed in a shipping selector does not necessarily mean that every product is legally eligible for import into that destination.

35. Returns and Refunds

Returns, exchanges, cancellations, and refunds are governed by the Sunrise Garden Center Returns & Refunds Policy and applicable law. Customers should review that policy before completing a purchase.

The policy should explain: return eligibility, applicable return period, non-returnable goods, damaged-item procedures, incorrect products, order cancellations, return shipping, refund methods, and expected processing periods. Approved monetary refunds are ordinarily issued to the original payment method whenever reasonably possible.

36. Damaged or Incorrect Orders

Customers should inspect orders promptly after delivery. A customer receiving an incorrect, materially damaged, or incomplete shipment should contact Sunrise Garden Center according to the Damaged Orders Policy or Returns & Refunds Policy.

Photographs, shipping labels, packaging, tracking information, or other reasonable evidence may be requested to investigate the issue. This requirement will not be applied in a manner that unlawfully limits consumer rights.

37. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Customers are encouraged to contact Sunrise Garden Center directly regarding legitimate order problems so the issue can be reviewed promptly.

Sunrise Garden Center may maintain transaction and fulfillment records including order confirmations, payment authorization records, customer correspondence, shipping records, tracking data, delivery confirmation, and refund documentation.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a customer from exercising legitimate rights available through a card issuer, payment provider, financial institution, or applicable law. Knowingly filing a fraudulent payment dispute or deliberately misrepresenting receipt of merchandise may constitute misuse of the Website and may be addressed through appropriate lawful channels.

38. Reviews, Ratings and Testimonials

Where Sunrise Garden Center allows product reviews or testimonials, submitted content should reflect genuine customer experiences and must not contain unlawful, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory, fraudulent, infringing, or intentionally misleading content.

Sunrise Garden Center may moderate content for legitimate reasons but should not manipulate reviews in a manner that materially misrepresents customer sentiment. Review counts, star ratings, and testimonials displayed on the Website should correspond to authentic or otherwise properly identified sources. Sunrise Garden Center should not publish fabricated reviews or imply that a review came from a verified purchaser when it did not.

39. User-Submitted Content

If Website users submit photographs, reviews, comments, questions, suggestions, testimonials, or other content, they represent that they have the legal right to submit that material.

Users retain their ownership rights in their original content. By voluntarily submitting content for publication, a user grants Sunrise Garden Center a non-exclusive licence to display and use the content for the purpose for which it was submitted, subject to applicable privacy and intellectual-property laws. Sunrise Garden Center may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

40. Intellectual Property

The Website and its original content may contain intellectual property owned by Sunrise Garden Center, its operating company, licensors, suppliers, photographers, designers, or other rights holders.

Protected materials may include business names, logos, graphics, photographs, product packaging, written content, website design elements, illustrations, icons, product descriptions, downloadable materials, and other original content.

Unless permission is expressly granted, Website content may not be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, sold, licensed, modified, or commercially exploited in violation of applicable intellectual-property rights.

41. Sunrise Garden Trademarks and Branding

Names, logos, product marks, packaging designs, slogans, and other branding associated with Sunrise Garden Center may be protected by trademark, copyright, passing-off, or other applicable laws.

Use of the Website does not grant users a licence to use Sunrise Garden Center branding in a manner suggesting sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or authorization where none exists.

42. Third-Party Intellectual Property

The Website may display trademarks, logos, payment marks, shipping-carrier names, manufacturer names, product brands, or other intellectual property belonging to third parties. Such marks remain the property of their respective owners.

Their appearance on the Website does not necessarily imply sponsorship or endorsement beyond the legitimate relationship associated with the applicable product or service.

43. Copyright Concerns

A rights holder who reasonably believes material on the Website infringes their copyright may contact Sunrise Garden Center.

A complaint should identify the protected material, identify the allegedly infringing material, provide appropriate contact information, and explain the basis for the claim. Sunrise Garden Center may investigate legitimate infringement notices and take appropriate action.

44. Links to Third-Party Websites

The Website may include links to third-party websites or services, including payment processors, shipping carriers, social-media platforms, agricultural information resources, manufacturers, government websites, and other external services.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. Third-party websites operate under their own terms and privacy practices. Sunrise Garden Center is not responsible for third-party content or systems outside its reasonable control.

45. Third-Party Services

Website functions may depend upon third-party service providers, including hosting companies, payment processors, fraud-prevention providers, email providers, analytics services, shipping carriers, content-delivery networks, and e-commerce technology providers.

The availability of some Website features may therefore be affected by third-party maintenance, outages, security events, or service interruptions.

46. Website Availability

Sunrise Garden Center aims to maintain a functional and accessible Website but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation. The Website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, software updates, hosting interruptions, network outages, cyber incidents, technical problems, third-party service failures, or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

Sunrise Garden Center may modify, suspend, or discontinue Website functionality where reasonably necessary.

47. Website Security

Sunrise Garden Center takes reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect its e-commerce environment. Such measures may include HTTPS encryption, access controls, updates, payment-processing safeguards, fraud monitoring, backups, security tools, and other controls appropriate to the business.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Users should maintain reasonable device and account security when interacting with the Website.

48. Malicious Activity

Users must not intentionally upload, transmit, introduce, or distribute viruses, ransomware, malicious scripts, worms, Trojan horses, corrupted files, or other technology designed to interfere with the Website or associated systems.

Unauthorized vulnerability exploitation, denial-of-service attacks, credential theft, payment attacks, and attempted unauthorized system access are prohibited. Sunrise Garden Center may cooperate with service providers, financial institutions, cybersecurity professionals, or law-enforcement authorities where reasonably required to investigate suspected unlawful activity.

49. Privacy

Sunrise Garden Center's collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information is addressed in the separate Privacy Policy.

Canadian privacy guidance explains that organizations subject to PIPEDA have obligations concerning the collection, use, disclosure, consent, safeguards, and handling of personal information.

Customers should review the Privacy Policy before submitting personal information through the Website.

50. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for functionality, shopping-cart operation, account management, security, analytics, preferences, and other legitimate purposes.

The use of cookies and available choices should be described in the Sunrise Garden Center Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. Where legally required, appropriate consent mechanisms should be provided.

51. Marketing Communications

Participation in marketing communications is separate from the customer's ability to receive necessary transaction-related communications.

Sunrise Garden Center should not make promotional email consent a hidden condition of an unrelated purchase where the law requires separate consent. Where applicable, marketing messages will include required sender identification and an available unsubscribe mechanism.

52. Promotions, Giveaways and Contests

A promotion, contest, giveaway, loyalty program, or special offer may be subject to separate terms. If specific promotional terms conflict with these general Terms, the specific promotional terms govern that promotion to the extent permitted by law.

Sunrise Garden Center may disqualify fraudulent entries or misuse of promotional systems.

53. Coupons and Promotional Codes

Coupons and promotional codes may be subject to restrictions involving expiration date, eligible products, minimum purchase amount, customer eligibility, geographic restrictions, maximum uses, or combination with other promotions.

Promotional codes have no cash value unless expressly stated or required by law. Attempts to manipulate, reproduce, resell, or fraudulently use promotional codes may result in cancellation of the affected discount or order where legally permitted.

54. Gift Cards and Store Credits

If Sunrise Garden Center introduces gift cards, promotional credits, or store credits, additional terms may apply. These terms should explain expiration, transferability, refundability, redemption restrictions, lost-card procedures, and other material conditions.

Nothing in these Terms overrides applicable laws regulating gift cards or prepaid purchase cards.

55. Commercial and Wholesale Customers

Commercial, institutional, wholesale, farm, restaurant, garden-centre, reseller, or other business customers may be subject to additional written terms.

Commercial terms may address minimum quantities, case quantities, bulk packaging, freight, delivery appointments, commercial pricing, credit terms, tax documentation, resale requirements, product specifications, and other business conditions. Where separate commercial purchase terms are executed, those terms may supplement these Website Terms.

56. Resale

Unless otherwise prohibited or restricted by written terms, some Sunrise Garden Center products may be purchased for legitimate resale. Resellers remain responsible for complying with applicable labelling, tax, agricultural, consumer, import, export, and other legal requirements relating to their own resale activities.

Use of Sunrise Garden Center intellectual property by resellers requires appropriate authorization.

57. Educational Content

The Website may contain gardening guides, planting instructions, agricultural information, seed-starting information, blog posts, FAQs, or other educational content. This material is provided for general informational purposes.

It is not intended as professional agronomic, environmental, legal, medical, financial, or regulatory advice. Users should seek specialized advice where appropriate to their particular circumstances.

58. No Medical or Nutritional Advice

Information relating to herbs, vegetables, microgreens, edible plants, or gardening products is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Descriptions of foods, plants, herbs, or microgreens should not be interpreted as personalized medical or nutritional advice. Customers with health concerns, allergies, or dietary restrictions should consult an appropriate healthcare professional.

59. Fertilizers, Soil and Garden Supplies

Customers are responsible for reading applicable product labels, safety directions, handling instructions, storage directions, and manufacturer guidance for fertilizers, soils, plant foods, amendments, mulches, and other gardening products.

Product directions and legal restrictions may vary by product and jurisdiction. Customers should use gardening products only for their intended lawful purposes.

60. Product Safety

Customers should store gardening products appropriately and keep products away from children or animals where the product label or reasonable safety practices require it.

Seeds intended for planting should not automatically be assumed to be suitable for human consumption unless expressly sold and labelled for that purpose. Seed treatments, coatings, inoculants, or other treatments should be disclosed where required.

61. No Guarantee of Continuous Product Supply

Agricultural and seasonal inventory may be affected by crop conditions, supplier availability, harvest cycles, weather, transportation, regulatory controls, and market availability.

Sunrise Garden Center may modify or discontinue products without advance notice. This does not affect obligations relating to orders already accepted.

62. Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for reviewing product descriptions and ensuring, before purchase, that products are reasonably appropriate for their intended purpose and destination.

Customers are also responsible for providing accurate order information, maintaining account security, complying with applicable import restrictions, following product directions, and contacting Sunrise Garden Center promptly regarding transaction problems.

Customer responsibilities do not eliminate Sunrise Garden Center's obligations under applicable law.

63. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website itself is provided on an "as available" basis. Sunrise Garden Center does not warrant that every Website feature will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or browser.

This Website disclaimer does not exclude product warranties, statutory conditions, or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded. Where provincial or federal law provides mandatory warranties or conditions, those legal protections continue to apply.

64. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sunrise Garden Center will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising solely from general use or temporary unavailability of the Website where such exclusion is legally enforceable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by law. In particular, these Terms do not limit liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. These Terms also do not eliminate remedies available under applicable consumer-protection legislation.

65. Force Majeure and Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Sunrise Garden Center will not be considered responsible for a delay resulting from circumstances genuinely outside its reasonable control to the extent permitted by law.

Such circumstances may include natural disasters, severe weather, wildfire, flood, transportation interruptions, carrier shutdowns, labour disruption, government restrictions, border delays, customs inspections, agricultural quarantine, infrastructure failure, widespread network outages, or similar events.

Sunrise Garden Center will make reasonable efforts to communicate material delays and fulfill or resolve affected orders appropriately.

66. Indemnification for Misuse

To the extent permitted by law, a user who intentionally uses the Website unlawfully or infringes the rights of Sunrise Garden Center or a third party may be responsible for losses directly resulting from that unlawful conduct.

This provision does not apply in a manner that improperly shifts Sunrise Garden Center's own legal responsibilities to consumers.

67. Suspension or Termination of Access

Sunrise Garden Center may suspend or terminate access to customer-account features where there is reasonable evidence of fraud, security threats, repeated unauthorized transactions, unlawful activity, abusive conduct, misuse of promotional systems, intellectual-property violations, or material breach of these Terms.

Termination of Website access does not eliminate rights or obligations relating to transactions already completed.

68. Consumer Reviews and Complaints

Sunrise Garden Center welcomes legitimate customer feedback.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to prevent a customer from making a truthful review, filing a legitimate complaint, contacting a consumer-protection authority, or exercising rights under applicable law.

Alberta specifically recognizes consumers' right to share information about their transactions through business reviews and states that statutory consumer protections cannot simply be waived by contract.

69. Dispute Resolution

Customers experiencing an issue are encouraged to contact Sunrise Garden Center first so the matter can be investigated and, where appropriate, resolved.

The parties may voluntarily attempt negotiation, mediation, or another mutually agreed dispute-resolution method.

These Terms do not require an Alberta consumer to surrender any non-waivable right to bring a matter before a court or applicable consumer-protection authority. Alberta's Consumer Bill of Rights states that consumers cannot be forced to waive statutory protections and recognizes access to the courts in disputes covered by the Consumer Protection Act.

70. Governing Law

To the extent legally permitted, these Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada.

However, customers may also have mandatory rights under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they reside. Nothing in this governing-law provision is intended to deprive a consumer of protections that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

71. Jurisdiction

Subject to applicable consumer-protection rules and other mandatory law, disputes relating to the Website or these Terms may be brought before courts of competent jurisdiction in Alberta, Canada.

Where applicable law entitles a consumer to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction, those mandatory rights remain unaffected.

72. Changes to These Terms

Sunrise Garden Center may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes in Website functionality, products, payment processes, operating procedures, legal requirements, technology, security practices, or business structure.

The updated Terms will be posted on the Website with an updated revision date. Material changes should not be applied retroactively in a manner that unlawfully diminishes rights associated with a completed transaction.

The version applicable to a purchase will generally be the version presented or otherwise in effect when the relevant transaction was completed, subject to applicable law.

73. Changes to the Website

Sunrise Garden Center may change Website layout, product categories, features, educational content, operating hours, contact methods, or other Website elements.

Changes to Website content do not automatically amend the contractual terms of an order already accepted.

74. Severability

If a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction determines that a provision of these Terms is invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary where legally permitted.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect unless the invalid provision is essential to the Agreement in a manner that prevents the remaining provisions from reasonably operating.

75. No Waiver

A failure by Sunrise Garden Center to enforce a provision on one occasion does not automatically constitute a permanent waiver of that provision.

Any waiver must be legally effective and applies only to the matter for which it was given.

76. Assignment

Customers may not transfer obligations associated with an account or transaction in a manner that facilitates fraud or avoids lawful payment obligations.

Sunrise Garden Center may transfer or assign its Website operations or contractual rights as part of a lawful corporate restructuring, sale, merger, reorganization, or transfer of business, subject to applicable law and privacy obligations.

77. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated into a particular transaction, constitute the applicable agreement concerning Website use.

For purchases, the agreement may additionally include the customer's order confirmation, product-specific terms, Shipping & Delivery Policy, Returns & Refunds Policy, Payment & Security Policy, Privacy Policy, and other terms disclosed before the transaction.

78. Order of Precedence

If there is an inconsistency among Website documents, the following principles generally apply:

1. A product-specific written term governs the product to which it expressly applies.
2. A transaction-specific agreement governs the transaction it expressly covers.
3. Mandatory law overrides any conflicting contractual provision.
4. Otherwise, these Terms and the applicable published customer policies should be interpreted together reasonably and consistently.

79. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except where applicable law, a payment network rule, a service agreement, or another express agreement provides otherwise, these Terms are primarily intended to govern the relationship between Sunrise Garden Center and users of the Website.

They do not automatically create enforceable contractual rights for unrelated third parties.

80. Contact Information

Questions about these Website Terms of Use may be directed to:

For questions about an existing order, customers should include their order number but should not send complete payment-card numbers, card security codes, banking passwords, or PINs by email.

81. Related Sunrise Garden Center Policies

These Website Terms should be published alongside and linked to the following documents:

• Terms & Conditions of Sale
• Payment & Security Policy
• Shipping & Delivery Policy

Customers should be able to locate these policies readily from the Website footer and, where relevant, during checkout.
