Patio Comforts and Third Coast Trading jointly grant you permission to view this Site and to print individual pages from this Site for your own personal, noncommercial use, provided that you agree to and accept without modification the notices, terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.

Your use of this Site constitutes your agreement and acceptance without modification of the notices, terms and conditions set forth herein. Other than this agreement and agreements between you and Patio Comforts relating to the sale of products or services to you through this Site, Patio Comforts will not enter into any agreement with you or obligation to you through this Site and no attempt to create such an agreement or obligation will be effective.



The trademarks, service marks and logos (the "Trademarks") used and displayed on this Site are registered and unregistered Trademarks of Patio Comforts and others. Nothing on this Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on the Site, without the prior written permission of the Trademark owner. Other product and company names mentioned in this Site may be the Trademarks of their respective owners.



Our manufacturers produce products of the highest quality and back them with warranties that range from 6 months to 7 years. Manufacturer's warranty information for each product is indicated on its individual product page.



While we will use our best efforts to fulfill all orders, Patio Comforts cannot guarantee the availability of any particular product displayed on this Site. Patio Comforts reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any product listed on this Site at any time without notice.

The prices displayed on this Site are quoted in U.S. dollars and are valid and effective only within the United States, and such prices do not include shipping and handling or sales taxes, if applicable, which will be added to your total invoice price. You are responsible for the payment of any shipping and handling charges and state and local sales or use taxes that may apply to your order.

While our goal is a 100% error-free Site, we do not guarantee that any content is accurate or complete, including price information and product specifications. If we discover price errors, they will be corrected on our systems, and the corrected price will apply to your order. Patio Comforts reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions (including after an order has been submitted and accepted).



If your order includes FREE GROUND SHIPPING, please ignore the "Shipping may be added to your order" message on the Checkout Pages. The message is generated by the UPS shipping calculator employed by Yahoo Store and we are not able to remove it. No shipping charge will be added unless you choose a method other than GROUND shipping.

If a shipping method other than Ground is selected for a product with Free Shipping, there WILL BE additional shipping charges and we will need to contact you for approval of those charges before processing your order. Shipping alternatives other than GROUND are not available for some products.

Your order should leave our warehouse in the number of days shown in the "Availability" notice above the price on each product page. Depending on the shipping method you have chosen, your order should arrive as follows:

For "Ground" Courier, please allow up to 6 business days after it leaves our warehouse (the number of business days it takes to leave our warehouse as indicated in the "Availability" notice above the price on each product page, plus up to 6 business days in transit).



Please inspect all merchandise for damage immediately on arrival. If merchandise arrives damaged, please Email us right away, so that a claim for the value of the damaged goods can be filed with the shipping company. Most shipping companies require claims to be submitted in 30 days or less, and the more time that passes between the delivery and the claim, the less likely it will be honored and paid.

Damaged products will be replaced, if we are notified of the damage in time to successfully file a claim with the carrier.

If you elect to return an item that was damaged in shipping (rather than having it replaced), for which we are able to file a successful damage claim, it will be treated as a return, subject to the shipping charges and restocking fees described in the "New (Unopened)" section of the "Return Condition - Terms" below.

If the merchandise that you received is not what you ordered, please Email us to arrange an exchange.

If your product is defective during its warranty period, please contact the manufacturer named on your packing slip and product literature for repair or replacement.

If you are dissatisfied with your purchase on arrival for reasons other than shipping damage, product defect, or incorrect merchandise, please Email us to resolve the problem.

If a return is in order, we will obtain an RMA# (Return Merchandise Authorization #) from the manufacturer and email it to you with detailed instructions for the products return. RMA numbers are valid for 30 days from the date of your invoice. Returns are subject to the following terms.



New (Unopened) - Returned within 30 days of invoice date. Credit for cost of item(s) minus a minimum 15% restocking fee (depending on the manufacturer's return policy). Shipping both ways will be paid by customer.*

Used (Opened) - Returned within 30 days of invoice date. Credit for cost of item(s) minus 25% to 100% restocking fee.* Shipping both ways will be paid by customer.

Damaged, Missing Parts - Non-Returnable.

Damaged in Shipping - If you elect to return a product that was damaged in shipping (rather than having it replaced), and you notify us in time to file a successful damage claim with the shipping company, it will be treated as a return, subject to the shipping charges and restocking fees described in the "New (Unopened)" section above.

Products are not returnable for credit after 30 days from invoice date.

* Patio Comforts reserves the right to evaluate product return conditions and assess restocking fees at its own discretion.

Credits will be applied upon receipt of returned goods. Replacements will be shipped upon receipt of defective merchandise via ground shipment at our manufacturer’s expense, unless purchaser requests an upgrade which will be shipped at their expense.



All in-stock items are shipped at time of order; out-of-stock items will be placed on backorder and customer will be notified. All backorder items will be shipped at the time the product becomes available. If backorder period exceeds 30 days, Patio Comforts will notify customer prior to shipment release. In the event of partial shipment, each shipment will be billed separately. Backorders are shipped at prices in effect when the item was ordered.



All orders (including backorders) may be cancelled with no additional fee prior to shipping. Cancellations must be made by Email. PATIO COMFORTS WILL NOT CANCEL AN ORDER OVER THE PHONE. If order has been shipped it may be returned following the RA guidelines listed above.
