BAMBOO IS BETTER WHOLESALE AGREEMENT

By requesting Bamboo is Better Inc. (“BAMBOO IS BETTER”, “Seller”) to supply goods, you (“Buyer”) agree that these Wholesale Terms & Conditions govern all transactions. Seller rejects any conflicting terms, including those that set different standards, specifications, or delivery requirements.

  • 2.1 Buyer must confirm all quantities, variants, and colors when placing the order.
  • 2.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, 100% prepayment is due at checkout by credit/debit card, PayPal, ACH, or Wire. Checks are not accepted.
  • 2.3 Seller may refuse or cancel any order by written notice. In such case, at Seller’s discretion, a refund and/or credit memo will be issued. Seller is not liable for any resulting loss or damage.
