Wilderness and Waves’s use of Registration Data shall be governed by the Privacy Policy.
Merchandise
You can purchase Merchandise by and through the Site by completing the applicable Form and providing the requisite Registration Data. Wilderness and Waves does not warrant that the Merchandise descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of the Merchandise that appear on the Site. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor/screen and other factors associated with your computer, mobile device, or other device used to access the Site, as applicable, we cannot guarantee that the depiction of any color as viewed by you through your monitor/screen will be accurate.
We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our Merchandise to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any Merchandise that we offer. All descriptions of Merchandise, as well as Merchandise pricing, are subject to change at any time, without notice, in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any Merchandise at any time. Any offer for any Merchandise made on the Site is void where prohibited.
The Site contains Merchandise inventory information. This information can be used to estimate the likelihood that the applicable Merchandise will be shipped immediately after you place your order. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that Merchandise listed as “in stock” will actually ship right away, as inventory can change significantly from day to day, and hour to hour. In rare cases, Merchandise may be in stock when you place your order and sold out by the time that your order is processed. Should this happen, we will notify you via email. If, for any reason, we determine that backordered Merchandise is no longer available, we will cancel your order, notify you immediately via email, and provide you with a refund.
In the event that Merchandise is listed at an incorrect price point due to a typographical error or an error in pricing information received from our suppliers, Wilderness and Waves shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the Merchandise so listed at the incorrect price. Wilderness and Waves shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order whether or not the order has been confirmed and whether or not the applicable User paid for such Merchandise. If a User has already paid for Merchandise and that order is canceled, Wilderness and Waves shall immediately issue a credit to that User’s Payment Method (as defined below) in the amount of the subject charge.
Merchandise Purchases; Refunds; Returns; Billing
(a) Merchandise Purchases. You can purchase Merchandise by completing the applicable Form and providing the requisite Registration Data. Where you purchase Merchandise, your credit card, debit card, Apple Pay® account, PayPal® account, Google Wallet® account, and/or any other payment option provided by you (as permitted by Wilderness and Waves in its sole discretion) (collectively, “Payment Method”) on the Form or updated at a later date will be charged the applicable amount. Please allow one (1) to four (4) weeks for delivery of all Merchandise. Prices do not include applicable taxes. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, ALL SALES OF MERCHANDISE ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
(b) No Purchase for Resale. Wilderness and Waves offers its distinctive range of outdoor products for sale both online and in our retail stores, catering to the personal needs of our customers. Consequently, Wilderness and Waves strictly prohibits the purchase of its products for the purpose of resale. Should Wilderness and Waves determine any purchase to be made with the intention of resale, we reserve the right to take necessary actions. These actions may include canceling orders, imposing purchase limits, suspending or closing accounts, and any other measures deemed appropriate to prevent resale activities.
(c) Title Transfer and Risk of Loss. Wilderness and Waves commits to the prompt and secure delivery of your purchase. Upon completing your transaction, we will deliver the products you have purchased to a common carrier at our warehouse. For comprehensive details on shipping times, costs, and practices, please refer to our Shipping Policy.
From the moment the products are delivered to the carrier at our warehouse, you, the purchaser, assume title and bear all risks of loss or damage. This policy ensures that the responsibility for the goods transfers to you once Wilderness and Waves has fulfilled its obligation to hand over the products to the designated shipping carrier.
(d) Refunds. When a refund is issued, it will be processed to the original form of payment. Please note:
- We cannot issue a refund to a different credit or debit card.
- We cannot issue checks, Venmo payments, or PayPal payments in lieu of the original payment.
- If your credit card was canceled for any reason and a refund to the original form of payment is not possible, then Wilderness and Waves will issue a voucher in the amount that would have been refunded.
- If your credit card or debit card number has changed, but is for the same account, the refund will be processed to that account.
- If there are any errors processing your refund because you have a new card number, we will issue you a voucher in lieu of the refund.
(e) Returns. All returns and exchanges will be governed by our Returns Policy, which we may amend and/or modify at any time. In order to be eligible for a refund, all Merchandise returns must be processed within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the subject shipment. If Merchandise is damaged during delivery via a freight carrier, please note the damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt and request an inspection report on the damaged shipment from the carrier to be forwarded to you within ten (10) business days. Please forward the inspection report and original packing list to Wilderness and Waves and we will file a claim on your behalf and immediately replace the damaged item(s).
(f) General Billing Provisions. Credit or debit balances in a User's Account may be offset by any other outstanding balance owed by or to that User. The fees associated with your purchases will appear on your Payment Method statement through the identifier “WILDERNESS AND WAVES.” Failure to use the Merchandise does not constitute a basis for refusing to pay any of the associated charges. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, you agree to be bound by the Billing Provisions of Wilderness and Waves in effect at any given time. Upon reasonable prior written notice to you (with e-mail sufficing), Wilderness and Waves reserves the right to change its Billing Provisions whenever necessary, in its sole discretion. Continued use of the Site and/or purchase of Merchandise after receipt of such notice shall constitute consent to any and all such changes.

Dispute Resolution Provisions
The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Hemet, California, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflict of law principles). The parties hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise between the parties including, without limitation, any matter concerning the Wilderness and Waves Offerings, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, or the breach of same by any party hereto: (a) the parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California, in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); and (b) you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an Initial Dispute Notice. We may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute Notice (“Final Settlement Offer”). If we provide you with a Final Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or we cannot otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute and you wish to proceed, you must submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before the AAA, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration. For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone, or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our Final Settlement Offer, then we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, we will reimburse any reasonable attorneys’ fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Although we may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join, or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute, or controversy that you may have against Wilderness and Waves and/or its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives, and/or assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that Wilderness and Waves incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining, or participating in class action lawsuits: (A) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (B) is an independent agreement.
Miscellaneous
To the extent that anything in or associated with the Wilderness and Waves Offerings is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the Agreement shall take precedence. Our failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. Wilderness and Waves may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice to you. The Agreement may not, however, be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under it. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section.
