Conditions of Use
Welcome to the website of Broco Glass®.
This website can be found at brocobrocoglass.ca or any alternative address (hereafter, the “website”).
You will find below the terms and conditions of use for this website (I) and the general conditions of sale and repair (II) that apply to the repair or replacement of vehicle windows by Broco Glass® in its service centres.
I – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
This section explains the terms and conditions of use (the “terms”) under which any individual (“you”) may use this website. Please read these terms carefully.
1. Acceptance of terms and conditions of use
If you decide to visit this website for any reason, these terms shall automatically apply to your use of the website. You therefore agree to consult them before using the website.
If you do not wish to be bound by these terms, please do not visit this website.
If you use all or part of this website, you are considered to have read and accepted these terms.
2. Description of this website – Request for appointment
This website provides information about the methods Broco Glass® uses to repair and replace the glass in your vehicle and, in general, about the services offered by Broco Glass®. You can browse this website to find information on the repair or replacement of your windshield, side windows or rear windshield without necessarily making an appointment with Broco Glass® for repair or replacement.
You may contact each Broco Glass® franchise location directly and make an appointment if you decide to have your auto glass repaired or replaced by Broco Glass®. If you can provide some details on the extent of the breakage (impact, crack, etc.) and its exact location, Broco Glass® can help you determine whether you can have the glass repaired or whether it needs to be replaced. You can request an appointment based on your ability to get to a Broco Glass® location and the available time slots.
If you are not sure whether your vehicle glass needs to be repaired or replaced, you can ask a Broco Glass® advisor or technician to call you back at a number provided by yourself. One of our authorized franchisee representatives can help you determine what needs to be done to repair the damage.
The information transmitted at this point by Broco Glass®, either on this website or by one of our authorized franchisee representatives, is based on the answers that you provide to certain questions. This information may not be entirely accurate, and you should understand that it is provided as general information only and has no contractual significance.
Only the work order for repairs written up by a Broco Glass® technician after examining the vehicle and before undertaking the work is binding on Broco Glass® franchisees.
This website only allows you to find the nearest Broco Glass® location and request an appointment with a Broco Glass® technician to repair or replace your vehicle glass. The information on this website should in no way be considered to be instructions allowing you to repair or replace your vehicle glass by yourself. The general terms and conditions for repairs which appear below are for general information purposes only and are not intended to govern your use of this website. They do apply, however, to all repairs and replacements done by Broco Glass® franchise locations.
4. Estimate
When you call our authorized franchisee representative, you will be given a free detailed estimate of the work to be done on your vehicle, on the condition that you provide all the necessary information to establish the estimate. Broco Glass® will not be bound by this estimate in the event of an error or omission concerning the features or condition of the vehicle.
5. Insurance
If your insurance policy includes coverage for broken vehicle glass, the work done by Broco Glass® will usually be covered by your insurance. You may only have to pay the deductible, if any, indicated in your policy, plus any related fees (such as travel costs, night, Sunday or holiday service) or cost of accessories (wipers, bulb covers, headlights, etc.) that are not covered by your insurance. We strongly advise that you check the details of your insurance policy to determine the extent of your broken vehicle glass coverage and the terms of payment. Calculation of the estimate described in paragraph 4 of these terms will be based on your insurance policy. Also, if you plan to have the work paid by your insurance, you will have to provide us with complete and accurate information about your insurance policy.
6. Access to service
You are, and will remain, responsible for the manner and consequences of accessing this website. This access may involve payment of fees to technical service providers, such as internet service providers. These fees are your responsibility. In addition, you are and remain fully responsible for the provision and use of the equipment necessary to connect to this website.

If you transmit information to Broco Glass®, you are responsible for its content and accuracy. You agree to provide full, accurate, up-to-date information in order to allow Broco Glass® to provide you with the best service, and you are fully responsible for any consequences related to the provision of erroneous information about you, your insurance, your vehicle or your broken vehicle glass.

II – GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND REPAIR
1. General
1.1 These general terms and conditions apply to the sale of all products (the “products”) and all services (the “services”) offered by Broco Glass®.
1.2 Unless otherwise agreed, any order for a product or service implies the customer’s full and entire adherence to these general terms and conditions.
1.3 The execution of all work is subject to prior signature of the estimate. This contractual document lists the work to be performed and, if applicable, the existing defects on the vehicle at the time it was handed over to Broco Glass®.
2. Relation with insurance
The invoice issued by Broco Glass® functions as a subrogation in its favour granted by the insured customer for direct payment by the insurer. It also functions as a notice of loss by the insured customer to the insurer. Broco Glass® remains a third party in the contractual relationship between the customer and the insurer. As such, it is not authorized to advise the customer on the notice of loss, for which the customer is wholly responsible. The customer is encouraged to approach the insurer concerning any questions about the insurance policy.
3. Estimate
The customer may obtain, free of charge, by telephone, a detailed estimate of the services required for the vehicle. Broco Glass® shall not be bound by this estimate in the event of errors or omissions on the part of the customer concerning the features or condition of the vehicle.
4. Price
4.1 Except in estimates issued by Broco Glass®, prices are based on rates in effect at the time the vehicle is brought in for service. If during the course of the repairs additional services are deemed necessary, Broco Glass® will immediately inform the customer in order to obtain his or her agreement before completing the repairs. The customer will likewise be informed if the time quoted for repairs must be changed due to specific features of the vehicle.
4.2 Unless otherwise agreed, the products and services are payable in cash, on delivery of the products or when the customer collects the vehicle, as appropriate. The customer can only collect the vehicle after full payment of all amounts due, in principal and incidentals, to Broco Glass®.
5. Terms of service – Risks
5.1 Broco Glass® reserves the right to refuse to carry out any work that cannot be executed in accordance with the customs of the trade.
5.2 As plastic do not provide protection against the weather and flying gravel, the customer is encouraged to replace any broken vehicle glass as quickly as possible.
5.3 Unless otherwise agreed, the transfer of risk occurs when the keys to the vehicle are exchanged. However, Broco Glass® declines all responsibility for the loss, deterioration or theft of objects in the vehicle or the vehicle, with the exclusion of the equipment and accessories incorporated into the vehicle and objects left by the customer at the customer service desk of the service centre.
6. Claims
6.1 It is up to the customer to verify that the appropriate services were received before accepting possession of the vehicle at the service centre.
6.2 All claims must be made to Customer Service in writing at the following address: Broco Glass® – Customer Service, 8288 Pie-IX boulevard, Montreal (Quebec) H1Z 3T6.
7. Reclaiming possession of the vehicle
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the vehicle must be collected by the customer at the time indicated on the estimate or at the latest at closing time of the service centre on that day. Otherwise Broco Glass® may park the vehicle outside of the service centre at the customer’s sole risk. The transfer of risk shall be deemed to take place at the closing time of the service centre on the day agreed, and Broco Glass® will not incur any liability in the event of any theft or damage suffered by the vehicle. Furthermore, after 48 hours, Broco Glass® may ask the authorities to impound the vehicle, at the customer’s risk and expense.
8. Reservation of ownership
The transfer of ownership of the products shall occur on the full payment of the sale price and, if applicable, any incidentals and interest. In the absence of timely payment, Broco Glass® may reclaim the products at the customer’s risk and expense and, except in the case of a customer consumer, any prior payments will be kept by Broco Glass® by way of penalty.
10. Warranty – Liability
10.1 Service warranty:
10.1.1 Repairs and replacements carried out by Broco Glass® are guaranteed for life against defects resulting from a defective seal, poorly attached hubcap, leak, whistling or crack resulting from a repaired impact, during or after the provision of service. This warranty can only be activated by the presentation of the invoice for the contested service or the attestation of warranty issued by Broco Glass® and shall otherwise be declared ineligible.
10.1.2 The warranty is excepted:
If Broco Glass® is not the supplier of the product
On industrial/public works vehicles, campers, trams, boats, trains, farm vehicles and any vehicles that have been modified for use other than their originally intended use
In the event of wear, corrosion or aging of the materials
If the alleged defect results from an act or omission of the customer (including, among other things, failure to maintain, modification or unusual use) or of a third party (including, among other things, a repair or subsequent service by a third party), an accident or any cause unrelated to the replacement or repair service.
10.1.3 The warranty thus granted is strictly limited to:
A new installation or repair free of charge by Broco Glass®
If applicable, the replacement of products damaged through defective installation or repair.
10.1.4 In all cases, Broco Glass® reserves the option, especially in the event of the unavailability of a product, to limit the warranty to the reimbursement of the installation and the product damaged through defective installation or repair, to the exclusion of any other compensation. Such reimbursement shall be based on the price of the services or damaged products on the invoice initially issued by Broco Glass®.
10.2 Product warranty
10.2.1 Products are guaranteed for one year from the time of delivery against all manufacturing defects reported in writing to Broco Glass®. No warranty shall be granted for normal use or corrosion, abnormal use of the products, deterioration resulting from an accident, negligence, failure to upkeep or maintain, caused by a third party or, more generally, resulting from an event beyond the control of Broco Glass®.
10.2.2 This warranty is strictly limited, at the sole discretion of Broco Glass®, to the replacement or reimbursement of the product recognized as defective, within the limit of the amount actually paid to Broco Glass® for this product. This compensation is exclusive of any other compensation whatsoever.
10.3 Insofar as the sale of the products is subject to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act either in view of its object or the status of the customer, it is further stipulated that these provisions cannot deprive the customer of the legal guarantees provided for under this Act.
11. Protection of personal data
Personal data received from the customer is required to provide services, issue invoices and, if applicable, have costs covered by the customer’s vehicle glass insurance. This information (except for bank card numbers) is processed by computer and transmitted to the appropriate Broco Glass® franchisee location. The customer agrees for this data to be used and kept by Broco Glass® and its service providers and subcontractors for administrative purposes, in order to generate statistical reports, conduct satisfaction surveys for the purpose of improving the quality of its services, and carry out marketing operations. To the extent permitted by law, the customer has the right to access and correct his or her personal data. This right can be exercised by contacting customer service at the number or address listed above.
12. Trusts and jurisdiction
In the event that a dispute cannot be amicably resolved, the dispute will be submitted exclusively to the court of competent jurisdiction in the District of British Columbia, Province of British Columbia. However, if the customer is a consumer who is not acting in a professional capacity, the rules of legal competency shall apply.
