Un plan «Smarter Living» est disponible pour les titulaires de plan dans des propriétés résidentielles possédées ou louées et ne s'applique pas aux produits situés dans des propriétés commerciales ou des propriétés résidentielles utilisées à des fins commerciales ou commerciales.

    • A plumbing failure that causes interior flooding;
    • A complete loss of heat or air conditioning in extreme temperature conditions;
    • A system failure that causes ongoing damage to your home;
    • A condition that immediately endangers health and safety as a result of the malfunctioning of a Covered Item.

Expediting Normal Response: ZucoraHome will accept your request to expedite non-emergency service only if an authorized ZucoraHome Service Contractor is available to provide the service requested. If the Service Contractor agrees to expedite the scheduling of a non-emergency service, you will be responsible for any additional fees, including overtime compensation.
  7. C7 Trade Service Fee: For each separate Service Request with respect to one or more Covered Items in an individual product group (Furniture, Appliances, Home Systems), you are responsible for payment of the dispatch fee (“Trade Service Fee”) in effect at the time of placing the Service Request. The Trade Service Fee is due and payable to ZucoraHome for each Service Request, including the following circumstances:
    • when you cancel a Service Request after the Service Contractor is enroute to your home;
    • when you deny the Service Contractor with access as may be required to perform a diagnosis or to undertake resolution of the Service Request;

In the event the outcome of the second opinion is different than the first opinion, you will not be responsible or owe the additional Trade Service Fee. However, if you request a second opinion, and the outcome of the second opinion is the same as the first opinion, you will be responsible for payment of the additional Trade Service Fee.

Remote Service: Although ZucoraHome has created an extensive, reputable and unbiased network of Service Contractors who provide service to our Members, our network is not all-inclusive for every trade, in every location. For that reason, we may authorize or require you to contact an independent service contractor (outside of the ZucoraHome network) to obtain service. If so, we will provide you with the Service Contractor requirements. ZucoraHome will authorize payment or reimbursement for approved service and/or repairs, based on our negotiated rates with our Service Contractors (in the ZucoraHome network) and our various suppliers.
  12. C12. Access: It is your responsibility to ensure the area near the Covered Item is free and clear of any non-related items for the Service Contractor to perform the requested diagnosis or requested service. In the event the area is not accessible the Service Contractor will return at a later date and you will be responsible for an additional Trade Service Fee.
  13. C13. Gift Cards or Reimbursement:Where a Covered Item may require replacement, ZucoraHome reserves the right to arrange for the purchase and delivery of a replacement item, or alternatively, at ZucoraHome’s sole discretion, to issue a Gift Card or to provide cash reimbursement to you as compensation for the replacement of the Covered Item.

Section I – Arbitration

ZucoraHome and the Member will attempt, in good faith, to resolve any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement through direct discussions. Should these discussions be unsuccessful, then any dispute that arises between the Parties relating to the application, interpretation, implementation or validity of this Agreement, the Parties agree to resolve the dispute by arbitration, on an individual basis, under the Arbitration Rules (“ADRIC Rules”) of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc (“ADRIC”). The parties agree that the ARDIC Rules give the parties a fair opportunity to present their case and respond to the case of the other side. The governing law will be that of the province or territory where you reside, or of Ontario if you reside outside Canada. The language of arbitration will be English, or, if the governing law is Québec’s, French if you choose.

The ADRIC Rules are available by contacting ADRIC at 1-877-475-4353 or www.adric.ca

This Arbitration Provision affects your ability to participate in class or collective actions. Both you and ZucoraHome agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis on behalf of others. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action, or for you to participate as a member in any such class or collective proceeding (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Arbitration Provision or the ADRIC Rules, disputes in court or arbitration regarding the validity, enforceability, conscionability, or breach of the Class Action Waiver, or whether the Class Action Waiver is void or voidable, may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class or collective action to that extent must be litigated in court, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

Judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
