16. How tax is calculated
The amount of tax charged on your order depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, (1) the identity of the seller; and (2) the shipment or delivery address of your order. These factors can change between the time you place an order and when your shipment is complete. As a result, the tax calculated on your order may change. The tax rate applied to your order will be the combined state and local rates of the address where your order is delivered to or fulfilled from. For example, if you live in a state that does not impose a sales tax, you may still see tax calculated on your order if shipped to another state that does have a sales tax.
17. Text Messaging Programs
The Company offers recurring text messaging programs and occasional one-time or limited-duration text messaging programs. These Text Messaging Terms and Conditions (Text Terms) govern these text message programs. By signing up to participate in our text messaging programs, you agree to the terms in this clause, the Privacy Policy, and the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Agreement, which are all contracts between us and you that include a mandatory arbitration provision—which requires that disputes are resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual, not a class-wide basis—and grant us certain rights and licenses, provide us certain indemnities, waive certain of your rights and remedies, and limit our liability and obligations to you. These Text Terms are Additional Terms as defined by the Terms. Please also review our Privacy Policy.
A description of the specific program you are signing up for, including whether it is recurring or one time or limited duration, will be provided with the sign-up information. If you opt-in to a text message program, the Company will provide transactional information and/or marketing text messages. Our text message programs may include shipment status details about packages for which you request shipment status notifications, customer service-related texts, special offers, alerts, rewards, deals, updates, reminders, and other transactional and/or marketing texts and information (e.g. about price drops, low inventory, or new product releases/launches) from the Company. We may send reminders based on your activity on our Site or app, such as abandoned cart reminders, browse abandonment (e.g., information and alerts based on the merchandise you viewed on our Site), and post purchase follow-ups (e.g., offers related to original purchase, product recommendations based on previous purchases, survey or sweepstakes opportunities), which may be based on our use of cookies or other tracking technologies when you view content while logged onto your Company account. You may choose to sign up for other text messaging programs, for example regarding specific programs or events. Messages may be in SMS, MMS or RCS format. Message frequency may vary. The Company reserves the right to alter the frequency of messages sent at any time, so as to increase or decrease the total number of sent messages. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, or artificial or pre-recorded voice. Your consent to receive such messages is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. Message and data rates may apply.
The Company may transition from one short code or telephone number to another, and you consent to receive messages from the new short code or number. To opt-in to receive text messages from the Company’s text messaging program, please follow the instructions provided by the Company, which may include texting a message to a short code, providing your phone number online at our Site, or by otherwise providing your consent. You may need to confirm your consent such as by replying Y or through another designated response to an initial text message sent to you.
To stop receiving text messages from the Company’s text messaging program, text STOP to the five-digit short code or telephone number for the text messaging program from which you no longer wish to receive messages (i.e., the number from which its text messages are being sent). You may receive one final text message confirming that you have opted-out. To enroll in the text messaging programs, you must be the mobile account holder, a resident of the United States, and 18 years of age or older. If you change your mobile phone number, you agree to promptly notify Outdoor Living Way via Attentive of that change by contacting us at (703) 480-0964 or sales@olwva.com
If your mobile operator is not participating, you will not receive a reply to your messages. Some operators may not support some services (e.g., pre-paid users may not be able to participate). Check with your carrier to confirm. The Company and mobile carriers are not responsible or liable for any undue delays, failure of delivery, or errors in messages. Not all mobile devices or handsets may be supported and our messages may not be deliverable in all areas. To request more information, you may contact the Company via Attentive at (703) 480-0964 or sales@olwva.com. The Company may revise, modify, or amend these Text Terms at any time. Any such revision, modification, or amendment shall take effect when it is posted to the Company's Site. You agree to review these Text Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes. Your continued consent to receive Company text messages will indicate your acceptance of those changes. We may also notify you by other means, such as sending a text message to the number you used to sign-up for our text message program(s).
18. Price Match Policy
If you find a lower price on an identical item at a local or online retail competitor company (including shipping and delivery fees), just show us an authentic printout, photo, smartphone display, or app and we may, within our sole discretion, match the competitor company’s price. If the price is actually below our cost (plus shipping and handling), we may offer, within our sole discretion, offer the product to you at the competitor company’s cost (plus shipping and handling).
19. Quote Policy
Prices on quotes are good for seven (7) days from the date sent to you, excluding special pricing, promotional items, or when there is a price increase by the manufacturer. In the event of an increase from the manufacturer, your quote will be updated to the new price and the sales representative you worked with will follow up to discuss available options.
20. Images of Items on Site
In some instances, we may show a picture that does not exactly match the product but helps illustrate what it will look like. Please check the product information and specs before you purchase.
21. Shipping
It is our responsibility to ship your accepted order to you at the address you provide when making the order. You will be responsible for all associated shipping and handling charges. While we agree to use reasonable efforts to meet the shipping and delivery dates provided online, we shall not be responsible for any delays in shipments.
We reserve the right to choose the freight carrier for your shipment. However, please note that we do not have control over the shipping companies themselves. Once a shipment is in the hands of the delivery company, we are unable to change the shipping address or arrange for delivery on a specific day. We can provide you with an approximate delivery time, but this is based solely on the information provided by the delivery company. Please be aware that while UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, larger items and orders are shipped via freight. Freight delivery is different from the standard shipping process, so it is important that you are prepared and understand what is required of you before the day of delivery.
You are informed that most freight products are shipped on a pallet. Upon delivery, the freight driver will leave the pallet at the curb, and it will be your responsibility to move the shipment up the driveway and into your home or backyard. Please note that most carriers do not call to schedule delivery. While a few carriers may call you to schedule an exact delivery window, most will only provide a tracking number and an estimated delivery date. We will specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
If your carrier schedules delivery appointments, you will need to be present at home to sign for the shipment. The delivery will be made with a semi-truck equipped with lift gate services. The shipment will be dropped off at the curb, and it will be your responsibility to transport it to its intended location. We recommend having at least two helpers on standby to assist with your delivery.
It is important to provide the best phone number to reach you during checkout, as the shipping company will use this number to schedule your delivery window. Upon delivery, please inspect your shipment for any missing or damaged items and note these on the signature documents provided by the delivery driver. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact us immediately at (703) 480-0964. You have 5 calendar days from the date of delivery to report any damaged items to us. If multiple items are damaged, you have the right to refuse delivery of the entire shipment. For more information on returns, please consult the Return Policy and Item Return Process and Acknowledgement sections in this Agreement.
If your carrier does not schedule delivery appointments, you will not receive a specific day and time window for your shipment’s delivery, only an estimated delivery date. While you are not required to provide your signature at the time of delivery, we still recommend that you be present when your order arrives. The driver will leave your pallets at the curb whether you are present at the time of delivery or not.
22. Additional Shipping Fees for Remote Areas
You acknowledge that remote or hard-to-reach areas may incur additional shipping fees, and this applies to free shipping as well as regular shipping orders. If your order is being shipped to a location with known shipping restrictions, a customer service representative will contact you within a reasonable amount of time to notify you of any additional charges.
If any provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms shall be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, then any such provision shall be deemed severable to the extent that it is lawful, void or unenforceable, but shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You acknowledge that we may not always know if your area is remote or will make freight delivery difficult. If you anticipate that a shipping company will have issues reaching your residence, it is your responsibility to inform us of those issues at the time of purchase. Such problems include, but are not limited to, narrow or winding roads, dirt or gravel roads, and vacant establishments. Please note that Outdoor Living Way is not responsible for shipping costs on merchandise that cannot be delivered due to a shipping company’s inability to reach a particular location. Additionally, in-home delivery is neither implied nor offered without additional charge, and it is not necessarily available even if you are willing to pay more for it.
23. Shipping to Army, Fleet, or Diplomatic Post Offices
We are pleased to inform you that we do ship to Army, Fleet, or Diplomatic Post Office addresses. However, please note that such shipments are subject to USPS size, weight, and content restrictions. If we are unable to send a package to your APO/FPO address, we will contact you to work out an alternative. Please be aware that APO/FPO shipments may be subject to additional shipping fees. If such a case arises, we will contact you to notify you of the fees and give you a chance to adjust your shipping address if desired.
24. Return Policy
If you, for any reason, are not satisfied with your order, you may return it for a full refund; provided: (i) the items(s) were not designated as non-returnable; (ii) your return is made within five (5) calendar days of delivery; (iii) the merchandise is returned in the same condition as originally received by you, i.e., the items must be unused, in an unassembled condition, and within the original packaging; and (iv) the goods are not obsolete or discontinued. Once the goods are received by us, we will refund your purchase price, less the original shipping & handling charges and a 30% re-stocking fee. All returns must be made pursuant to the specific return procedure specifically set forth on the Site (which can be found at: [URL]). You bear the risk of loss or damage during shipment (other than when returning non-conforming merchandise) and as such, you are advised to obtain appropriate insurance. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the applicable purchase. Items that are not eligible for return include the following: (i) used items, including items that have been installed or assembled; (ii) clearance items; (iii) warehouse deal items; (iv) custom-made, special-order and made-to-order products; (v) items marked non-returnable in the item description (vi) items requested outside of the 5-day return period (vii) items that are considered obsolete or discontinued; and (viii) any other item the Company deems unreturnable.

26. Definition of Defective Products
Defective products refer to products that do not meet the intended purpose or function due to a manufacturing error or design flaw.
27. Defective Products Policy
If you receive a defective product, please contact the manufacturer associated with the product. The manufacturers that we carry have great processes to assist in the event you are confronted with a defective product. A manual detailing the product manufacturer who manufactured the product should be shipped out with all products. The contact information of the manufacturer should be contained in the product manual.
If you are advised to contact us, our knowledgeable Support team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Please be aware of the following information we need and how the process normally proceeds:
- The defective item must still be within the manufacturer’s warranty period.
- You will need to supply any serial numbers, a description of the issue, and any pictures or videos depicting the issue.
- The Company is the expert, so we will attempt to troubleshoot with you to verify that it is a defect.
- We report this to the manufacturer to begin the claim.
- The manufacturer will review the claim, then they will approve or reject it.
- The time for the manufacturer to respond may vary depending on the manufacturer’s internal processes.
- If approved, the warranty process begins, and service, parts, repair, or any combination of those as needed will be provided in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Some parts or items may need to be returned to the manufacturer for quality control.
- The Company is not responsible for reimbursement of any labor costs or project delays that may occur due to the receipt of defective goods. We recommend that you wait to schedule installation until after your order has arrived and items have been fully inspected.
- All shipments should be opened and inspected within 48 hours of delivery of the product(s) (hereinafter “Company Warranty Period”). It is recommended that you check for visible defects and damage during the Company’s Warranty Period at this time as well as damages to prevent any delays with getting to use your item(s).
- If your item has a defect outside of the Company’s Warranty Period:
- We will not be able to facilitate a claim to the manufacturer.
- Any replacement parts or whole units at this point can be purchased by you through the Company (contact us for pricing and availability).
- Parts or whole replacement units may not be available for discontinued items.
28. Definition of Damaged Products
Damaged Products refer to any physical harm caused to the product during transit, storage, or handling. This includes scratches, dents, or broken parts.
29. Damaged Products Policy
If you receive a damaged item, you must notify us within five (5) calendar days of delivery. Open and inspect all items upon delivery.

You acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers regarding the return policy of damaged products:
- Refuse the item with the carrier if you’re able to do so.

If an item is returned due to an incorrect address, you will be responsible for the shipping costs both ways. If an item shipped via freight is returned because the freight company couldn’t reach your residence, it will be considered a return and will be subject to our regular return policies.
31. Shipping Outside of the United States
Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii are sent via FedEx 2Day and require an individual quote. If you order via phone, you will be notified of the extra shipping charges before placing your order. If you order online, a customer service representative will contact you shortly after your order is placed with the additional shipping charges (before the item is shipped). We do not ship items directly to Canada, but we will ship to your desired US-based freight forwarder. Please contact your freight forwarder to obtain their shipping and receiving processes. You will be responsible for all duties and tariffs on Canadian shipments, along with coordinating with the freight forwarder for delivery to the final destination.

Company will be entitled to make an offer of judgment in the arbitration proceeding.

The arbitration proceeding will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim, award monetary damages, and grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
57. 30-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You have the right to opt out of the requirements set forth in these Arbitration clauses by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the Company’s Legal Department within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name, address, the email address you used to set up your Company account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of these Arbitration clauses. If you opt out of these Arbitration clauses, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Please note that opting out of these Arbitration clauses has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have or may enter into in the future with the Company.
58. Severability of Arbitration Clauses
If any part or parts of this Agreement’s Arbitration clauses are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed. The remainder of the Arbitration clauses will continue in full force and effect.
59. Survival of Agreement to Arbitrate
The Arbitration Clauses in this Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.
60. Modification of Arbitration Clauses
We agree that if the Company makes any future material change to this Agreement’s Arbitration clauses, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to the Company, notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary.
61. Small-Claims Option
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may elect to pursue a breach of warranty claim in small-claims court rather than submit to binding arbitration, but only if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so within ninety (90) days of your purchase transaction. Any small-claims court proceeding initiated hereunder will be limited solely to your individual dispute, which means that you are not permitted to file, or participate in, a class action suit in small-claims court with respect to these Terms.
62. Acknowledgement and Consent to Receive Electronic Communications
All communications between you and the Company will be conducted electronically, whether you visit the Site, send emails or other electronic communications, or receive notices from Outdoor Living Way via email or other electronic communications. By agreeing to this clause, you are consenting to receive all communications from the Company in an electronic form. Additionally, you agree that all Terms and Conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that the Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. This means that electronic communications from the Company are legally binding and enforceable. However, your statutory rights are not affected by this clause.
63. Company Discretion to Limit or Cancel Orders
We reserve the right to refuse any order or any part of any order you place with the Company. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors. Further, we reserve the right to verify the validity of all orders and cancel any order if we find evidence of fraud, tampering, and/or any other violation of these Terms. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity (in a form acceptable to us): (i) for the purposes of verifying the legitimacy of any order and/or other information; and/or (ii) for any other reason we deem necessary, in our sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of fulfilling an order in accordance with our interpretation of the terms and conditions of these Terms. By using our services, you agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made on the Site. You also agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
64. Severability of Terms of the Entire Agreement
If any provisions or sub-provisions of the Terms of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
65. No Waivers
Our failure to enforce any of our rights hereunder will not constitute a waiver of our right to make such enforcement in the future, subject to applicable law.
66. Notices and Updated Contact Information
We may provide notices hereunder to you by: (i) email; (ii) regular mail; or (iii) posting them on the Site. You shall be responsible for ensuring that you have provided us with your current email and mailing addresses. You can contact us at any time by any of the following means: (i) email, at sales@outdoorlivingwholesale.com or (ii) personal delivery, overnight courier, or registered or certified mail to: Outdoor Living Way c/o Sales 42365 Azalea Lane, Dulles, VA 20166, US.
67. Entire Agreement
These Terms, any instructions that we provide you with relating to any product or service you obtain from us through the Site, any Terms and Conditions that may be provided in connection with any promotion or other sale, and our Site’s Privacy Policy, shall, collectively, be deemed a final and integrated agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.
