ECO CRATES Subscriptions
Following your first purchase with ECO CRATES, you automatically may be subscribed to the ECO CRATES Subscription and it will renew automatically for additional intervals unless you cancel auto-shipments, modify your ship date, or remove or unsubscribe to product(s) in your ECO CRATES Subscription.
ECO CRATES Service Overview
We collect information from you about your household’s product preferences (in accordance with the ECO CRATES Privacy Policy) and use it to create a personalized and customizable schedule of shipments based on our estimates of the quantity of products your household likely needs and how frequently they should be replenished (the “Delivery Service”).
ECO CRATES is primarily a subscription service. On a recurring basis at intervals set forth on your Account Settings Page, we automatically charge your stored method of payment for your purchase of products in the Delivery Service, and ship those purchased products to you (the “ECO CRATES Subscription”). From time to time we may add certain products or samples to your Delivery Service that you will be charged for unless you remove them prior to the order being charged. We also may add certain products to your Delivery Service as gifts, at no charge to you.
You may modify the products in and shipment dates of your Delivery Service at any time. Visit your Account Settings page to see and change the then-current shipment date.
You may also cancel automatic payments (and corresponding automatic shipments) from the Account Settings page. Doing so will also cancel your ECO CRATES Subscription. You do not need a ECO CRATES Subscription to purchase products from us.
We may offer a VIP Program for an annual fee.
- Your membership in the VIP Program will make you eligible to receive certain benefits.
- If you enroll in the VIP Program, we automatically charge your stored method of payment a one-year subscription fee (plus applicable tax) on or around the anniversary of the date you enrolled in the VIP Program.
- You can manage your VIP membership and find your annual expiration date from the Membership link on the Account Settings page. You may cancel your membership in the VIP program by emailing:solutions@ecocratesofamerica.com.
We use third party carriers to ship items that you purchase, and as a result, the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

By agreeing to these ECO CRATES Terms or by using the Service, you represent and warrant to us: (i) that you are at least 18 years of age; (ii) that you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (iii) that your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these ECO CRATES Terms and that you agree to be bound by them on behalf of that organization.

Payment, Credit Card Billing, Automatic Renewal, and Recurring Charges
Fees to access the service. Access to the Service, or to certain features of the Service, may require you to pay enrollment or membership fees plus applicable tax. We also may charge fees for the Delivery Service that may vary based on the type, quantity and frequency of items in your Delivery Service. ECO CRATES may change any fees associated with the Service, including the Delivery Service, the VIP Program, and the ECO CRATES Subscription on a going forward basis at any time by providing notice by email or other communications. All amounts charged are in U.S. Dollars. You must provide us with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or PayPal account (“Payment Provider”). We will charge the Payment Provider you specify in your Account Setting. By providing your Payment Provider information, you authorize us or our third party payment processors to charge: (i) all membership or enrollment fees to such Payment Provider; and (ii) all fees associated with the Delivery Service and Subscription Service, including, without limitation, all applicable taxes, product costs and shipping fees, to such Payment Provider prior to shipment and on a per-delivery basis. If you pay any applicable fees with a credit card, we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. If we do not receive payment from your Payment Provider, you must pay all amounts due upon demand and we may suspend your access to the Service until such amounts are paid. All sales are final and, except as provided in our refund policy, we will not issue refunds or accept returns.
Minimums. Your order must meet a certain dollar value of purchased products before we will ship it to you. You will not be able to complete an order until your cart meets the applicable minimum. These minimum amounts vary depending on the type of plan and the type of membership you selected. For more information on the minimums, please see our FAQs.
Automatic Renewal of ECO CRATES Subscription. Your Delivery Service will remain an automatic-renewal ECO CRATES Subscription until you cancel automatic shipments. You hereby authorize us to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if ECO CRATES does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that ECO CRATES may either terminate or suspend the Subscription Services and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received). We will send you reminders of your upcoming subscription shipment a week before the ship date specified in your Account Settings and then the day before it.
Cancelling and Modifying ECO CRATES Subscription. You may cancel or modify your ECO CRATES Subscription in a few ways. If you cancel your ECO CRATES Subscription, you can continue to order products on an as-needed basis.
- To pause your ECO CRATES Subscription, log into your account prior to 9:00 p.m. PST on the day before the ship date specified in your Account Settings for your then-current order, go to your account, and click “Pause Auto-Shipments”.
- To remove or add products to your ECO CRATES Subscription, log into your account prior to 9:00 p.m. PST on the day before the ship date specified in your Account Settings for your then-current order, go to “Your Cart”, and make changes.
VIP Program. With your first purchase, you may receive an offer for a free trial to the ECO CRATES VIP Program (the “VIP Program”). Members of the VIP Program are eligible to receive certain benefits like free full-sized gifts (with your next paid order). The VIP Program membership is limited and may not always be available.
- If you enroll in the VIP Program through a trial membership, at the end of the trial period we will automatically charge you a one-year subscription fee (plus applicable tax based on your zip code) using your stored method of payment, and your membership will renew each year thereafter, unless you cancel your trial prior to the end of the trial period. If you cancel your trial, you will be charged applicable shipping fees with your future orders.
- You can find your then-current annual VIP Program subscription fee in your Account Settings.
- If you sign up for the VIP Program, you authorize us or our Payment Processors to charge your payment card for the applicable VIP Program subscription fee and applicable tax (if any) on an annual basis until you cancel. The VIP Program subscription fees are non-refundable, however if you feel that you were charged in error and contact solutions@ecocratesofamerica.com within 7 (seven) days from the date of the charge, ECO CRATES may refund the subscription fees, at its sole discretion. Taxes may apply on VIP Program fees based on your delivery location and will be added to your annual subscription, if applicable.
- You may cancel your membership to the VIP Program at any time, but your cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current annual subscription period. This means your VIP Program subscription will continue for the remainder of that subscription period and you will not receive a refund. You may cancel or renew your membership to the VIP Program or find out more information about your VIP Program subscription, including your annual expiration date, by accessing your Membership on the Account Settings page or contacting solutions@ecocratesofamerica.com.

Your electronic payment of fees through any Payment Processors is also governed by the Payment Processors’ terms of service and privacy policy. Currently, we use Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) and PayPal, Inc. (“PayPal”) as our Payment Processors for payment services (e.g., card acceptance and related services), but may add others from time to time.

From time to time, we may give you the opportunity to pre-purchase limited edition, seasonal or specialty products during a pre-sale event. Your account will be charged when you place your pre-sale order. Please allow up to one year for your pre-sale items to ship. When the pre-sale products arrive in stock, we will send you an email to notify you of the estimated delivery date and we will display the pre-sale products in your cart as free products. If we’re unable to ship within one year from the date you placed your pre-sale order, or if you do not ship your pre-sale products within sixty five (65) days of the date you placed your pre-sale order, we’ll provide a full-refund. It is your responsibility to keep your billing and shipping information current; we are not responsible or liable if you fail to update this information. You can update your information at any time prior to your ship date by changing the shipping address in your account profile.
Order Acceptance
Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We further reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by ECO CRATES upon our delivery of the products that you have ordered. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.

Governing Law
These ECO CRATES Terms and any action related to them shall be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, consistent with the Federal Arbitration act, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these ECO CRATES Terms. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and ECO CRATES agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Greenville,SC for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
General
The ECO CRATES Terms, together with any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and ECO CRATES regarding your use of and access to the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of paragraph headers in these Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration.
Arbitration Agreement. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to these ECO CRATES Terms, your access to or use of the Service, any products sold or distributed through the Service, ECO CRATES advertising, communications you receive from ECO CRATES, or any aspect of your consumer relationship with ECO CRATES, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you and we may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or ECO CRATES may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all covered claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of these Terms.
- Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at the following address: 453 River Way Drive, Greer, SC 29651. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available athttp://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ ; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ . JAMS’s rules are also available atwww.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, we will pay them for you. In addition, ECO CRATES will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and ECO CRATES. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to 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 shall 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 us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND ECO CRATES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and ECO CRATES are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
- Severability. Except as provided in these ECO CRATES Terms, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with ECO CRATES.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if ECO CRATES makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing ECO CRATES at the following address: solutions@ecocratesofamerica.com.
