Additional Order Agreement Terms & Conditions
Order Assignment. Elephant may assign Buyer's order to another company for installation and servicing of your order. This is necessary to provide nationwide service and provide delivery and installation in a timely manner. All orders will be delivered as they were ordered. Any reference to "Elephant" may be assigned in part or in whole to a party designated by Elephant; this entire agreement may be assigned to a party designated by Elephant, or only certain sections or lines may be assigned on a case-by-case basis. Buyer agrees that no further notice is required for Elephant to assign any part or all of this agreement to another party, and agrees to be bound by the terms agreed to herein.

Rejection of Order and Cancellation of Contract. Elephant reserves the right, at any time before installation of the Unit, to reject this Order or cancel this contract by notice in writing to Buyer. Upon giving such notice, Elephant will refund any deposit received from Buyer. Buyer agrees that such refund shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedy for such cancellation.

Legal Authority for Installation. Before installation of the Unit, Buyer shall obtain every permit or other authorization required for lawful erection of the Unit on the site designated by Buyer. If Buyer fails to obtain any such required permit or authorization: (i) such failure voids any and all warranties otherwise applicable to the Unit, and (ii) Buyer shall indemnify and hold Elephant harmless for all damages or costs, including attorney fees, which Elephant may incur as a result thereof. Elephant will install the Unit on the site designated by Buyer upon the property specified; BUT, if Elephant delivers the unassembled Unit and installation is not completed due to Buyer’s breach by failure to obtain any required permit or by failure adequately to prepare the site, including location of underground utilities, Elephant may, in its sole discretion, terminate this contract and retain Buyer’s deposit as liquidated damage for Buyer’s breach, or seek to recover additional costs that Elephant may have incurred. All pricing for "Certified" structures assumes standard wind, snow, and engineering requirements for your state; if your specific locality requires extraordinary specifications or documentation, additional fees may apply.

Site Preparation. Before delivery, Buyer shall designate a site on the property identified as the Location and prepare such site for installation of the Unit, which preparation shall include making the site level, removing all electrical wire less than 15 feet above the intended height of the Unit, removing all underground utilities below the site, and any other improvement reasonably necessary. If Elephant determines that the site is not prepared or suitable for installation, Elephant may, at its option, terminate this contract and retain Buyer’s deposit as liquidated damage for Buyer’s breach, or make such further improvements as may be reasonably necessary. If Elephant makes further improvements to the site, Buyer agrees to pay the reasonable cost thereof upon completion.

Scheduling Delivery and Installation. Elephant will make a good faith effort to deliver and install the Unit within 120 days after Elephant’s acceptance of this Contract, and will attempt to notify Buyer at least 24 hours before delivery. Buyer may, by written notice received by Seller not more than 7 days after Seller’s acceptance hereon, delay the delivery and installation for up to 120 days. In no event will Elephant be liable for any damage or consequential damages resulting from any delay in delivery or installation of the Unit. As with any scheduled service, certain delays may be outside of Elephant's control, including but not limited to weather, road congestion, mechincal failure, or crew personal issues. As such, all appointments should be confirmed with the scheduling department on the day of installation.

Change Orders. No change in the Unit or its specifications is binding on Elephant unless requested by Buyer's written change order and approved in writing by Elephant. Any change requested by Buyer constitutes the Buyer's consent to resulting changes in the Price.

Limited Warranty. As to all Units, Elephant warrants that its installation of the Unit will be free of defects in workmanship. There may be state-specific warranties available that are included herein by reference. With no exception from the foregoing warranties, some load bearing elements made of 14-gauge steel may be included in a 12-guage Unit. Any alteration or abuse of the Unit shall void all such limited warranties. ELEPHANT’S LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AT ELEPHANT’S OPTION, OF THE UNIT. ELEPHANT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. ELEPHANT MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY.

Payment Terms. Buyer agrees to pay the Retail Price and applicable sales taxes, including any increase for any Change Order, in full at the time of installation. Any order balance after initial deposit paid with credit card is subject to a minimum 2.5% processing fee. If any payment tendered by Buyer is dishonored for any reason, remaining balance due is immediately and if not paid in full, Buyer agrees that, at Manufacturer’s option, Manufacturer may enter Buyer’s property, disassemble and remove the Unit, and retain Buyer’s deposit as liquidated damages. If Manufacturer refers collection hereunder to an attorney or collection agency, Buyer agrees to pay Manufacturer’s reasonable attorney fees and expenses.

Check Policy. If your check is returned NSF it will be re-presented electronically and you will be assessed a processing fee as allowed by law, which is no less than $20. The check writer is also responsible for all other collection costs including attorney’s fees, court costs and taxes as well as any other amounts allowed by law.

Promotions. From time to time Elephant may offer promotions or specials that are only available for orders placed within a specific time-frame or that meet other qualifications. All offers are void where prohibitted, and may be cancelled at any time.

Regional Availability. Not all prices are available in all areas based on design and governmental restrictions, and prices may vary depending on how you purchase. Sales Tax. Sales tax will be collected in addition to the purchase price on all orders, unless an exemption is provided by Buyer in writing in a form that is acceptable to the local sales tax authority.

Miscellaneous. This Agreement is governed by the laws of North Carolina and any action against Seller hereunder shall be brought only in a court of general jurisdiction sitting in Surry County, North Carolina. The term Buyer, as used herein, includes said persons named on the face hereof, their heirs, successors and assigns, and shall include singular, masculine, feminine or neuter as required by the context. This Agreement, including only the face and reverse hereof and an engineer-certified drawing of the Unit, if such drawing is furnished by Seller, constitutes the complete agreement of the parties, and all prior descriptions, representations, negotiations or agreements are merged herein and superseded hereby.

Deposit and Order Modification Policy

CARPORT.COM DEPOSIT POLICY:

Elephant LLC ("Elephant" "Elephant Structures" "We" "Us" "Carport.com") typically is not able to and does not offer refunds on a deposit paid on a structure. The deposit you pay is for us to begin work on processing and the fulfillment of your order, and locks in your pricing for up to 6 months. We offer a "no questions asked" refund policy for 3 days after you place your order with us, but after 3 days, no refunds can be given. Any order cancelled after a payment has been processed is subject to an additional $25 administrative charge that will be deducted from any refund given pursuant to this Deposit Policy.

For the avoidance of doubt: 72 hours after placing your order, there are no refunds available of the non-refundable deposit. If you request engineered drawings or engineering specifications, no refunds are available after the request has been made.

It is your responsibility to know if you need a permit or not before you place your order. As well, please make sure that your land is ready for installation and clear of any debris that would inhibit the crew from installing the structure on level land. If you have any questions, please email or call in order to have them answered before placing your order. In the event that you do cancel your order for any reason, the deposit/down-payment for your order cannot be refunded. By ordering you are agreeing to this policy.

Carport.com is not responsible for any manufacturers, delivery agents, or delivery agents' guarantees, warranties, installation issues, delivery times, and any other unforeseen problem(s) that could arise throughout the process of delivery, shipping and/or installation. Any and all of these issues would need to be addressed through those vendors directly.

Any actions taken to take back a deposit after the initial 3 day period are considered to be "Improperly Filed Claims" from our Terms, and are subject to the costs and penalties described therein. Disputes or chargebacks through a credit card company or other payment provider are considered to be "Improperly Filed Claims" as well, and will be cosidered to be fraudulent claims if filed within 120 days of the original charge.

If you decide to cancel an order outside of the 3 day window but before a date is set for installation, we are able to retain a "deposit credit" in the amount you have already paid that can be applied to a different deposit portion of a payment on a structure you have built with us. Please note that prices can and will change after the initial six (6) month period, and are not guaranteed thereafter.

CARPORT.COM ORDER MODIFICATION POLICY:

Any order changes or modifications are subject to a minimum $50 change-order fee, up to a maximum of an additional 10% of the cost of the building, for each modification to an existing order in addition to any increase in cost of the structure or materials from the order modification.

If you need to make a change to an existing order within the initial 3 day period, there is one order modification that will not have an change-order fee assessed. Back to the top
