Terms + Conditions
Samples
Prior to private labeling, please be sure to request a product sample. Samples can be purchased on our website. Please allow up to 20 business days (allow more time during the Holidays or peak seasons) to prepare your samples. Ensure that the items in your shopping cart are correct, as we cannot accept returns or issue refunds. As with any natural botanical ingredient or formula, please allow for some variance for color, viscosity and scent between lots. While samples can give you a general idea of what a larger size will be like, sometimes there can be slight differences. For custom samples contact Customer Service at 512-646-0455 or email Contact@WilloNaturals.com. We encourage you to order a pre-production prototype sample of your product to ensure that you are fully satisfied with the appearance and performance of the product and packaging for your brand. It is the customer's responsibility to test suitability of products and packaging for the particular use.
Returns
Your private label order is a custom request and is not eligible for cancellation, refund or return. Our customer service team will assist you in your decision process, but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure compatibility and compliance.
Returns are not accepted for any reason. Due to the nature of natural ingredients, there can be variations in color, viscosity and scent of all bases from batch to batch. These changes are not grounds for a dispute. Due to the nature of our products and for industry compliance we are unable to accept returns. Products will be replaced or credited to your Willo Naturals account only to be used towards your next purchase, never refunded. We cannot issue a credit or replace product for accidentally ordering the wrong product, not liking the color, feel, viscosity, scent or any other physical aspect of the product. We will also not refund or replace product that has shelf life issues that may occur to pre-approved naturally preserved products that are stored incorrectly causing separation or damage to the product shelf life. We strongly recommend that you contract with a third party lab for stability, safety, claims and shelf life in the actual packaging chosen for your brand.
Willo Naturals is unable to offer any Guarantee or return policy for the following categories of products: (1) Volatiles (Perfumes, Alcohol based sprays), (2) Any formulas/products altered by buyer, (3) Any customer supplied formulas, raw materials and/or finished products, or containers. These products will be sold on an "As Is" basis only.
If we make a mistake we will reproduce your product and ship it to you via the originally requested method of transport. If you would like the replacement product shipped faster than ground you will be required to pay the difference in the freight.
Pricing
Once we have all of the specifications for your product, we can gladly prepare a proposal for you. Due to changes in market cost of natural, organic botanical ingredients all pricing will be verified at each time of order. We do all we can to maintain consistent pricing, but be aware that prices are subject to change.
Custom Formulations
Contact us to discuss your desired product with our Customer Service Representative. We will assist in the development of your product and provide you with the cost and time line for a pre-production sample. Once the sample is approved, we will be able to offer you pricing to private label your order. Custom formulas require a ten gallon minimum order. Lead time and additional details specific to your order will be available at that time.
Back Orders
From time to time a formula, ingredient or packaging component may be on back order or not available due to harvest times, or other reasons beyond our control. We do all that we can to prevent such situations, but appreciate your understanding when such events do happen.
Shelf Life, Safety & Efficacy Testing and Reports
Unless otherwise indicated on the product page, most products are formulated for approximately 12-18 month shelf life, based on the lab’s knowledge of the ingredients. We do not guarantee shelf life. If you want a definite shelf life, third party testing is available for labeling claims. Color and fragrance can be affected in high heat and bright light. For optimal shelf life of most cosmetic products, store in a cool, dry place.
Shelf life, safety & efficacy testing and reports shall be fulfilled by the purchaser. Willo Naturals expressly excludes any warranty. It is mutually understood that the formulas have not been tested or assessed for stability, safety or efficacy. Contact us for a list of third party testing labs to assess products.
