Wholesale Terms & Conditions

WHOLESALE PURCHASE TERMS

THESE TERMS ARE IMPORTANT AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS PRIOR TO PLACING AN ORDER FOR OUR PRODUCTS. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISION SO THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Section 1 – Introduction & Consent to Terms

Welcome to Bad Sheep LLC, an Alaska limited liability company dba Bad Sheep Yarn (referred to herein as “Bad Sheep”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) Wholesale Purchase Terms (referred to herein as the “Terms” or the “Agreement”). Bad Sheep was created to provide our customers with some of the finest and most colorful yarn money can buy (collectively, our “Products” or a “Product”, which can more particularly be found on our Website).

This Agreement is entered into and made effective on the date of your e-signature, below (the “Effective Date”) by and between Bad Sheep LLC and the entity that is a signatory to this Agreement, below.

If you do not agree to these Terms, we ask that you please not place an order for our Products. This is a legally binding agreement. Purchasing our Products and signing this Agreement constitutes explicit acceptance of these Terms.

If you are purchasing our Products on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or the entity violates these Terms.

Section 2 – Eligibility, How Our Services Work & Placing an Order

In order to qualify to be a wholesale client of Bad Sheep and receive wholesale pricing, you must (a) be an entity; and (b) have a physical presence. Proof of both items must be met prior to becoming a wholesale client. We reserve the right to reject becoming a wholesale client to anyone and for any reason.

In order to place an order for our Products, you are first required to create an account on our Website. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information contained on your account is correct and up to date. We shall have no liability for any actions that occur on or through your account.

Once you find the Products you would like to purchase, add these products to your shopping cart which can be purchased directly on our Website. Simple as that!

Before submitting an order for our Products, you will be shown an order confirmation screen describing the inclusions of your order, any applicable charges for taxes and shipping, if any. It is your responsibility to ensure that everything looks as desired and that your order is correct. While we may be able to cancel or change your order once it is placed, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. If there is an error on your order or if something needs to be changed, please contact us as quickly as possible so that we can try to help you before your order is processed.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order, including after being submitted. If your order is refused or canceled after you have been charged, we will issue you a full refund.

We also reserve the right to alter or amend pricing of Products listed on our Website, with or without notice. If you have purchased our Products for a lower price than is currently reflected on our Website, we have no obligation to honor our previous price. Only prices listed on our Website at the time of purchase are active.

Section 3 - Wholesale Restrictions and Additional Terms.

All Products ordered must be sold in-store only and are not permitted to be sold online. If you sell Products online, we will no longer do business with you and we will be entitled to recover from you any damages incurred by us, including a mark-up on the sale of Products by you. The reason we do this is so that our wholesale clients do not compete with us online. If you sell online, even for more money than we offer our Products for, you will be competing with our online sales and will be in direct breach of these Terms.

The sole exception to the online sales restriction mentioned above is that our wholesale clients are allowed to list the Products online for in-store pickup. No shipping of any kind is permitted, even if shipment is in the same town or city as our wholesale client.

Finally, Bad Sheep provides our wholesale clients with the flexibility to choose the price to re-sell our Products for, without restriction from Bad Sheep. However, no re-branding is permitted, and all Products must be re-sold as Bad Sheep re-sales and not as your original products.

Section 4 – Terms of Sale, Shipping, Rush Order, & Taxes

We cannot guarantee the availability of all of our Products. If we are unable to fulfill your order due to unavailability, you will be given the option of waiting for availability, changing your order, or canceling your order altogether.

We will endeavor to be as up-to-date with all Products on our Website, but sometimes there is a delay or error. If we are unable to process your order for any reason, will let you know as soon as we can.

Our Products offered are described on our Website at the time of purchase. All prices shown for our Products are shown in U.S. Dollars. We also reserve the right to discontinue certain Products at any time. Payment must be made at the time of purchase.

If we process your order and your payment is rejected or you later issue a chargeback of the payment, you will be responsible for ensuring full payment for all monies owed. Failure to pay for our Products will accrue interest at one percent (1%) per month until paid in full. Bad Sheep reserves the right to transfer any past-due balance to a collection agency or attorney. If your past-due balance (of any amount) is transferred to a collection agency or attorney, Bad Sheep shall be entitled to recover all costs and fees in collecting your past-due balance, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Finally, pictures on our Website are shown for convenience purposes only. Since our yarn is hand-dyed, there may be some variation from batch to batch, and the Product(s) you receive may be slightly different than the color shown on our Website. We cannot guarantee a perfect match with color. We will endeavor to keep our color as consistent as possible, but you acknowledge and agree that there will be some differences from batch to batch and that the colors shown on our Website may be slightly different than the color of the product you receive. If you are unhappy with the color of the Product(s) you receive, please contact us as soon as possible and follow all requirements as outlined in Section 5, below.

FREE SHIPPING

We offer free shipping on all wholesale orders! No minimum order is required. You can order as much Product as you want, and shipping is still free!

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ORDER TO ARRIVE?

Bad Sheep will arrange for the shipping of the products you order from us according to the delivery method you have chosen and to the address you have provided. Delivery times are estimates only. Time is not of the essence.

Typically, orders are processed and shipped within seven (7) to thirty (30) business days.

Our Products will be delivered to you by a third-party delivery company and since the shipping of your order can be impacted by many events beyond our control, Bad Sheep will not be responsible or liable for any damages or loss sustained by you arising out of delivery of your Product after the expected delivery date.

However, if you advise us before placing an order that your order is a rush or must be completed by a date that is generally within our delivery window (a “Rush Order”), we will guarantee delivery of your order by the date specified in your order at a premium price. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to approve or reject a Rush Order. In the event that a Rush Order is accepted by us, you agree to pay for all such shipping and handling charges as may be necessary to fulfill your order on time. This specifically includes overnight or other method of delivery that may carry substantially increased costs.

Unless otherwise stated, all prices quoted do not include shipping and handling charges. You are also responsible for paying taxes on your order, which will also be shown on your order prior to purchase.

Finally, we do not require a minimum order.

Section 5 –Cancellation, Refunds, & Returns

Out of Stock

If we are out of stock of a particular Product that you have ordered, you will be contacted by someone from our team and will be given the opportunity to switch your Products, or if you are unable to find suitable replacement Products, we are more than happy to offer you a full refund.

Damages or Incorrect Products

If you receive damaged or incorrect products, please contact us through the contact information listed on our Website. Per these Terms, you have a duty to inspect all Products ordered within thirty (30) days of receipt. If you do not notify us within thirty (30) days of receipt that your Products are damaged or incorrect, we may, but do not have an obligation to replace your Products or refund monies paid.

Please be sure to take pictures of the damaged or incorrect Products. Hold onto these photographs until we have resolved this issue with you. We will be in contract with you shortly after receiving your communication and photographs.

Returns

We permit returns of all Products purchased if (a) returned within thirty (30) days of purchase; and (b) the Products are still in Skein Form. “Skein Form” means that the Product(s) is still tied and bundled together. We are under no obligation to permit a return of Products purchased after thirty (30) days of purchase or are not in Skein Form. If you do not meet the requirements for a return under this Section, you can still contact us and we will do our best to ensure that your customer service needs are addressed.

If you qualify for a return, we charge a fifteen percent (15%) restocking fee. The restocking fee is based on the total purchase price paid, including shipping, handling, and taxes. We charge a restocking fee to ensure that our company does not sustain losses in the event of a return due to the amount of time and labor needed to handle a return under this Section.

For purposes of clarity, we do not charge a return fee for damages or incorrect products.

Refunds/Cancellations.

Bad Sheep is not obligated to include a refund of any shipping and handling charges except when the return is for defective or incorrect Products.

Bad Sheep reserves the right to refund amounts owing to you by either crediting the charge card used for payment, issuing you a credit in the amount spent by you, or permitting you to exchange the defective or incorrect Product for another. If we issue you a credit, this credit will expire after one (1) year from when it is received by you, has no monetary value outside of ordering additional Products on our Website, and cannot be transferred to another person or entity without our express written permission.

If you are not happy with your Products, please contact our customer service team and we will provide you with options for resolving your issue(s).

Section 6 – Payment, Billing, Other,

When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information you provide is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information.

= By providing a credit card, you represent and warrant that you authorize us to charge your payment method for all charges you incur for your purchase of our Products. You agree that you are responsible to pay for and will pay for all such charges.
