Terms of service

Last updated: August 2026

These terms and conditions of sale (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the website signelocal.com (the “Site”) as well as the purchase of products offered by Signé Local (“we”, “our” or “Signé Local”). By accessing the Site or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, please do not use the Site or make a purchase.

1. Company information

Signé Local — A31-2151, Boul. Lapinière, Brossard (Quebec) J4W 2T5, Canada

Email: bonjour@signelocal.com

2. Products and descriptions

Signé Local offers a selection of products designed and made by local Quebec artisans and merchants. We make every effort to present products and their characteristics (colours, dimensions, materials) as faithfully as possible. However, slight variations may exist between the photo displayed and the product received, due to the artisanal nature of the items, your screen's display settings, or photographic processes.

Signé Local reserves the right to modify, withdraw or add products at any time, without notice.

3. Prices and promotions

Prices displayed on the Site are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and do not include applicable taxes (GST and QST), unless otherwise indicated. Taxes are calculated and added at checkout, based on the province or territory of delivery.

Shipping costs are presented separately and detailed in our Shipping Policy, available on the Site.

Signé Local reserves the right to change its prices at any time, without notice. The applicable prices are those in effect at the time your order is confirmed. In the event of a typographical error or a manifestly incorrect price, Signé Local reserves the right to cancel the order concerned and to notify you accordingly.

Promotions, discount codes and special offers are subject to their own conditions (duration, exclusions, limits) and cannot be combined with one another, unless otherwise indicated. Signé Local reserves the right to end a promotion at any time.

4. Orders and purchase process

To place an order on the Site:

  1. Select the item or items you want and add them to your cart.
  2. Go to your cart and check the contents of your order.
  3. Proceed to checkout by providing your delivery and payment information.
  4. Confirm your order.

A confirmation email will be sent to you as soon as your order is recorded. This email constitutes acknowledgement of receipt of your order, but does not constitute final acceptance. Signé Local reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order for a legitimate reason, including:

  • Out-of-stock items
  • Pricing or description errors
  • Suspected fraud or abusive use
  • Failure to verify payment information

If Signé Local cancels an order, you will be notified by email and any amount already charged will be refunded in full.

5. Product availability

Our products are offered while supplies last. Although we update our inventory regularly, an item may become out of stock after your order is placed. Should this occur, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer you, depending on the situation:

  • An equivalent replacement (with your consent)
  • A full refund of the amount paid for the unavailable item

6. Payments

All payments are processed securely through the payment services integrated into our Shopify platform. Accepted payment methods include:

  • Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Shop Pay
  • Any other payment method displayed at checkout

The total amount of the order (including taxes and shipping costs) is charged at the time the order is confirmed. All transactions are processed in Canadian dollars (CAD). Currency conversion fees may apply if your financial institution is located outside Canada.

7. Electronic invoicing

By placing an order on the Site, you agree that your invoices and receipts will be sent to you exclusively by electronic means (by email), to the address provided with your order. No paper invoice will be sent, unless expressly requested at bonjour@signelocal.com.

8. Shipping

Shipping terms (costs, delivery times, areas served, in-store pickup options, delivery guarantee, lost or damaged parcels) are detailed in our Shipping Policy, available on the Site. By placing an order, you accept the conditions described therein.

9. Returns and refunds

The terms governing returns, exchanges and refunds (time limits, eligibility, procedure, fees, exclusions) are detailed in our Refund Policy, available on the Site. By placing an order, you accept the conditions described therein.

10. Gift cards

Signé Local gift cards are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for cash and carry no expiry date, in accordance with the Quebec Consumer Protection Act. They may be used only on signelocal.com.

In the event of loss or theft, Signé Local is not required to replace or refund the gift card. It is your responsibility to keep your card code in a safe place.

11. Partner artisan-merchants

Signé Local acts as a sales platform for a network of partner artisan-merchants across Quebec. Although we select our partners with care and ensure the quality of the products offered, each product is designed and made by the artisan-merchant identified on the product page.

Signé Local acts as an intermediary for customer service and claims. All communication relating to an order must be sent to bonjour@signelocal.com; we will follow up with the partner concerned.

12. Corporate orders

Signé Local offers a corporate ordering service for businesses wishing to give local gifts to their employees, clients or partners. Corporate orders are subject to specific conditions (pricing, timelines, delivery to multiple addresses) detailed in our Shipping Policy.

For any corporate quote request, contact us at corporatif@signelocal.com.

13. Mobile application

Signé Local offers a mobile application providing access to the products on the Site as well as exclusive offers and discounts reserved for application users. Use of the mobile application is governed by these Terms, in addition to the specific conditions of the download platform (App Store, Google Play).

Exclusive offers made available through the application are subject to change and may be withdrawn at any time without notice.

14. Loyalty program

Membership in the Signé Local loyalty program (the “Program”) is free and reserved for natural persons residing in Canada, aged at least 18, acting for personal and non-commercial purposes. Membership is activated exclusively through the Signé Local mobile application; no points are accumulated for purchases made before the account is activated in the application.

Once the account is activated, you earn ten (10) points per dollar ($1) spent on eligible products, both in store and on signelocal.com, provided the transaction is linked to your account (in particular through the email address associated with the account). Points are credited automatically within approximately forty-eight (48) hours. Unless otherwise indicated, taxes, shipping costs and gift card purchases are excluded from the points calculation.

Signé Local may offer additional points as part of occasional offers, including a welcome bonus, a birthday bonus, points multipliers and a referral program. Under the referral program, the referring member and the referred friend each receive one thousand (1,000) points when the referred friend completes a first eligible order. The terms of these offers are set by Signé Local and may be modified or withdrawn at any time.

Points may be redeemed only for (i) products offered in the Program's rewards catalogue and (ii) Signé Local gift cards. The number of points required for each reward is determined by Signé Local, may vary from one reward to another and over time, and the rewards catalogue is available in the mobile application. Points have no monetary value, are neither transferable nor assignable, and cannot be exchanged for cash.

If a transaction that generated points is subject to a return, cancellation or refund, the corresponding points are removed from the account; where those points have already been redeemed, Signé Local may allow the account balance to go negative until the situation is corrected.

The account of a member who has made no eligible purchase for twenty-four (24) consecutive months may be closed by Signé Local, and any unused points balance may then be cancelled, subject to notice sent by email at least thirty (30) days in advance. If the account is closed at the member's initiative, any unused points balance is forfeited.

Signé Local reserves the right to suspend, cap or cancel points, to withdraw a reward, or to suspend or close an account, in the event of manifestly abnormal behaviour, fraud, abuse, resale or unauthorized commercial use. Signé Local may modify or terminate the Program at any time, subject to reasonable notice communicated by email or published on signelocal.com.

15. Customer account

Creating a customer account is not required to place an order, but it allows you to:

  • Track the status of your orders
  • Access your purchase history
  • Save your delivery addresses
  • Speed up your future purchases

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Any activity carried out from your account is presumed to have been authorized by you. Please notify us immediately at bonjour@signelocal.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

Signé Local reserves the right to suspend or delete an account in the event of fraudulent or abusive use, or use contrary to these Terms.
