TERMS OF USE
This Terms of Use Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Oko Living LLC, its affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Oko Living”) governing your use of www.okoliving.com, and related websites and social media sites operated by Oko Living (collectively the “Site”). You hereby agree implicitly and without express written consent that you have read and agree to be bound by the outlined terms and conditions. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms of Use, please refrain from using the Site.
Oko Living reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement or its policies relating to the Site at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of this Agreement on the Site. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Agreement. Continued use of the Site after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Creating An Account
In order to access certain content, material, products or services, or place an order on the Site, you may be asked to create an account. As part of the registration process, you may be asked to click to agree to these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and may then be asked to select or submit a user name and password. You may also be required to provide us with certain information about yourself including some types of personally identifiable information, including your legal name, phone number, address, email address, gender, and age. You are responsible for ensuring that your password and account login are kept secret, safe, and secure at all times. Oko Living will not be held responsible or liable for any misuse of your account in the event that a third party has access to and uses your password and account login in any way.
Validating Your Order
After you place an order using our shopping cart, Oko Living will check the information you give us for validity, by verifying your method of payment or shipping address. Oko Living reserves the right to reject any order you place with us, and/or to limit quantities on any order, without giving any reason. If Oko Living rejects your order, Oko Living will attempt to notify you using the e-mail address you have given us with the order. Your credit or debit card will normally not be charged if Oko Living rejects an order, but Oko Living will process a refund if the charge has been made against your card.
Order Acceptance/Confirmation
Oko Living reserves the right to refuse service, including but not limited to, order fulfillment, customer support, and technical support, to anyone for any reason. A Oko Living order invoice does not represent an actual acceptance of an order nor does it represent an offer to sell, rather, Oko Living reserves the right to decline an order for any reason, even after an order invoice is issued.
Taxes
You are responsible for any sales, duty or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your order. Oko Living will collect applicable sales tax if Oko Living determines that it has a duty to collect sales tax. Oko Living will present any taxes that Oko Living is required to collect at checkout, but note that actual taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
Order Limitations/Limited Quantities
Oko Living may, at its own discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. Oko Living also reserves the right to reject any order you place with us. In the event Oko Living makes a change to an order, Oko Living will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address provided at the time the order was made.
Shipping Risks
Oko Living will provide customers with tracking information including expected shipping dates, but Oko Living will not be held responsible for any delays, damages or losses due to (but not limited to) natural disasters, acts of federal, state or local government, fires, floods, strikes, lockouts, freight embargoes, and acts of God. Customers can pursue claims for lost and damaged packages through the shipping courier.
Return and Refund Policy
You may return or exchange any unused Oko Living products in accordance to our returns and exchanges policy available here.
Termination of Use
Oko Living may, in its sole discretion, terminate your account or your use of the Site at anytime. You are personally liable for any orders that you place or charges that you incur prior to termination. Oko Living reserves the right to change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspects of the Site at any time without prior notice.
Collections
In the event Oko Living must pursue collections of any debt owed to the company resulting from a sales transaction, not limited to fraud, credit card reversals, credit accounts, etc., Oko Living will be entitled to actual costs associated with the collections, including, but not limited to, actual legal fees and costs, travel fees, airfare, mileage, lodging, and other necessary costs associated with the collections.
Product Updates/Errors on Site
Product information and prices displayed on the Site are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered, and Oko Living reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Oko Living will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return it in accordance with Oko Living’s Return Policy.
