Terms of service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website, products, services, content, features, and functionality offered by Discount Cork Bark through discountcorkbark.com and any related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing, browsing, or using the Services, or by purchasing products from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Refund & Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

1. Eligibility and Use of Services

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are using the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the website or interfere with any other party’s use of the Services.

2. Products and Natural Variation

Discount Cork Bark offers natural cork bark and related products, including discounted, irregular, broken, non-premium-grade, clearance, and random-assortment materials.

Due to the natural character of cork bark, all products may vary in size, shape, thickness, texture, color, weight distribution, and overall appearance. These variations are inherent to the product and shall not be considered defects.

Where a product listing identifies a product as a random assortment, mixed box, discounted box, irregular lot, or non-premium material, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • contents may vary from box to box;
  • certain piece types or proportions are not guaranteed;
  • pieces may include broken, irregular, or non-uniform material; and
  • product photographs are representative only and may not depict the exact items received.

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or limit the quantities of any product at any time without notice.

3. Orders and Acceptance

Your placement of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. All orders are subject to acceptance by Discount Cork Bark.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse, cancel, or limit any order for any lawful reason, including but not limited to product availability, suspected fraud, pricing errors, inaccuracies in product or shipping information, or suspected resale abuse.

An order is not deemed accepted until payment has been successfully processed and we have confirmed the order.

4. Pricing and Payment

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Prices, product availability, shipping charges, and promotions are subject to change without notice.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing, shipping, and payment information for all purchases. By submitting payment information, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that all information submitted is accurate.

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, shipping charges, handling charges, and any other fees disclosed at checkout.

5. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Discount Cork Bark is not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, routing disruptions, customs processing, or events beyond our control.

Risk of loss and title to products pass to you upon our transfer of the order to the carrier, subject to any rights you may have under applicable law.

You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. We are not responsible for delays, losses, or returned shipments resulting from incorrect or incomplete shipping information supplied by you.

6. Refunds, Returns, and Cancellations

All refunds, returns, replacements, exchanges, claims, and cancellations are governed exclusively by our Refund & Return Policy.

By placing an order, you acknowledge that many of our products are discounted, irregular, natural, or sold as random assortments, and that sales may be final except as expressly stated in the Refund & Return Policy.

7. Product Use and Customer Responsibility
