- Optical component inspection and quality review;
- Precision assembly support for optical systems;
- Prototype consultation for commercial applications; and

Our services are advisory, sourcing, inspection, and support-oriented in nature.

Any specifications, tolerances, timelines, or deliverables are subject to confirmation in a written quotation, statement of work, purchase order acceptance, or similar written agreement issued or accepted by Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd.

- Use any products, recommendations, or assemblies in accordance with applicable laws, manufacturer instructions, and industry standards; and
- Not use our services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful purposes.
You are solely responsible for final verification, testing, integration, certification, and end-use compliance of any product, assembly, or system supported by Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd. Where a third-party manufacturer, supplier, or service provider is involved, their terms and warranties may apply.
4. Payment Terms and Conditions
Fees for services will be set out in a quotation, invoice, statement of work, or other written arrangement. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are expressed in Canadian dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, tariffs, brokerage fees, shipping charges, customs clearance charges, and other government-imposed amounts.
- Invoices are due and payable within the period specified on the invoice; if no period is stated, payment is due upon receipt.
- We may require a deposit, milestone payment, or advance payment before commencing work or placing procurement orders.

- Any unpaid amounts may accrue interest at the maximum lawful rate permitted under applicable law, or if none is specified, at a commercially reasonable rate.
- You are responsible for fees charged by banks, card issuers, payment processors, and currency conversion providers.
If services require procurement from third parties, you authorize Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd. to incur reasonable and pre-approved costs on your behalf, subject to the terms of the applicable quotation or statement of work.
5. Cancellation and Refund Policy
Because our services often involve specialized technical work, procurement activities, inspection time, and supplier commitments, cancellation and refund rights are limited as follows unless otherwise required by law or expressly agreed in writing:
- Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd.
- Work already performed, time spent, and non-cancellable third-party costs are non-refundable.

- Refunds, if approved, will be issued only for amounts not already earned or committed, and may be reduced by reasonable administrative charges.
Custom, specially sourced, modified, or procured items may not be returnable or refundable. Any return eligibility for goods sourced through third parties is subject to the supplier’s policies and applicable consumer or commercial law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, production delays, or loss of data, arising out of or relating to the services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the services or these Terms shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Maple Ridge Precision Optics Ltd. for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or CAD $500, whichever is greater, unless a greater amount is required by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by law, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under applicable law.
Optical components and assemblies may fail due to improper integration, misuse, environmental conditions, third-party defects, manufacturing variations, or intended-use mismatch. You acknowledge that proper engineering review, validation, testing, and certification remain your responsibility.
