Supplier Code of Conduct & Compliance
We uphold ethical practices, compliance with laws, and respect for human rights in our supply chain. Our vendors must adhere to our Code of Conduct, including prohibitions on forced labor, and must allow compliance audits.
Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability
The Site and all content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. You assume all risk associated with using the Site. We are not liable for any damages—direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise—arising from your use or inability to use the Site, including errors, interruptions, viruses, or inaccurate content.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.
Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
Applicability
These terms apply to all disputes between you and Willow Tree, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, except for intellectual property claims or trade secret misappropriation.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of arbitration (and class action waiver) by sending a written notice within 30 days after first agreeing to these Terms. After that period, arbitration and waiver provisions apply.
Dispute Notice & Mediation
Before initiating arbitration, either party must send a written notice describing the dispute and seek informal resolution within 60 days. If not resolved, the dispute must proceed to mediation (non-binding) before arbitration can begin.
Arbitration
If mediation fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration (except small claims). The rules of the Arbitration Provider will apply, subject to modifications in these Terms. You and we each waive the right to trial by jury and participate in class, representative or mass claims. The arbitrator’s decision is final, binding, and may be enforced in court.
Severability
If any provision of this arbitration section is invalid or unenforceable, that part may be severed; however, if waiver of class or representative claims is unenforceable, the entire arbitration section becomes void. Other terms remain unaffected.
Venue for Other Matters
Any claims excluded from arbitration must be brought in state or federal court in Kansas (or other jurisdiction as allowed by law), and parties consent to those courts’ jurisdiction.
Personalization Terms & Conditions
If you order personalized products (e.g. engraved items):
- Text is etched (not sticker or ink)
- Proofread carefully before confirming your order
- Emojis and special symbols not permitted
- We are not responsible for mistakes you make
- Personalization orders are final, non-returnable, and cannot be cancelled
- We reserve the right to decline orders with unacceptable content
Governing Law & General Provisions
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas (excluding conflict of law rules). All claims, disputes, or actions related to these Terms, our Privacy or Security policy, or your use of the Site must be brought in the courts of Kansas, to which you consent to personal jurisdiction.
Your use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and any other policies that govern your visit or purchases. We may modify or update the Site, our policies, or these Terms at any time, and your continued use binds you to the changes.
