Terms and Conditions

By using this website you consent to the following Terms and Conditions of Use.
Additionally, These Terms and Conditions are also incorporated by reference to all sales receipts issued at our facilities.

Please read carefully before using this website.  If you (your agent, assign, person designated in charge of project, person receiving/directing delivery of material, herein referred to as “Customer”) do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use this website.

PRODUCT

You agree that the products and services are provided on an “As Is” and “As Available” basis.  We are not liable to you if we are unable to supply a particular item.  If an item you would like is out-of-stock or if we are unable to supply a particular item we will contact you within a reasonable time frame of receiving your order to communicate the status of your order. We are not liable to you if we fail to communicate the status of your order within a reasonable time frame.

Loading & Delivery Policy

Bee Green Recycling & Supply, LLC (Supplier) makes use of a variety of equipment and trucks to provide the services required for loading and delivery of our products.  The size of trucks and equipment required to make such deliveries can cause damage to customer’s property.  Supplier will only deliver material to the street curb in front of Customer’s property.  Customer may direct Supplier to make delivery beyond the street curb, with the understanding that Customer assumes all risk and liability that may result from damage to any or all walks, driveways, buildings, foundations, pavers, patios, utilities (above and below ground), trees, lawn, landscaping, irrigation systems, neighboring property(ies), or any other damage(s) that may result from delivery to, or beyond, the street curb.

Customer understands that material may fall, bump, etc. into, onto, around the Customer’s vehicle during the material loading process.  Customer agrees that Supplier is not responsible for any damage that may result from the loading process.

Customer agrees to defend Supplier from any claims any other party may make related to Supplier making delivery to Customer.  Notwithstanding, Supplier’s driver, agent, or assign may refuse any direction that Customer gives if the driver, agent, or assign feels it is unsafe or may cause undue damage or harm to their-self or others.

Customer is required to obtain all permits, licenses, clearances, or other permission(s) that may be required to receive products from Supplier.  By placing order with Supplier, and allowing Supplier to deliver material to the street curb, Customer is providing Supplier full assurance that they have obtained proper permits for materials to be delivered to their location.

Customer agrees to hold Supplier and its employees, agents, affiliates, suppliers, or assigns, harmless from any and all liability resulting from the delivery of products to Customer.

Delivery Date

No deliveries are made on Sunday.  Supplier is not able to guarantee a specific time or date, but will make every effort to deliver material on the day requested by the Customer.  Supplier will contact Customer to confirm order and to solidify schedule for delivery.

Understanding that we are in the Bay Area, there are times when traffic conditions may require delivery schedules to be amended.  We make extraordinary effort to prevent having to reschedule deliveries, and try to communicate with Customer about any scheduling issues that may arise.  Supplier is not liable for any costs or damages that may result from delay of delivery, or failure to notify about delay of delivery.

Delivery Cancellation

Due to the fact that scheduling a delivery for the Customer prevents Supplier from being able to deliver other material to another customer at that time, we require at least 24 hour notice to cancel a delivery.  If an order is canceled less than 24 hours, and the Supplier is unable to fill the canceled time slot, the delivery fee will not be refunded to the Customer.  If Supplier is able to fill the canceled delivery with another order, then Supplier will refund the canceled delivery fee.

Stacking Fees

Supplier’s staff may at times be asked by Customer to unload and stack materials by hand.  Customer understands that a stacking fee will be charged at the time the service is rendered and that such stacking fees are not refundable. 

Customer is required to provide specific instructions on stacking locations and to be present when materials are being stacked to make sure the job is completed to customer’s satisfaction at the time the service is being rendered. 

Supplier will not return to move, stack, or restack material unless a new Stacking Fee is agreed upon between Supplier and Customer.

Product Description

Supplier attempts to be as accurate as possible when describing the products and presenting photographs of the products.  Customer understands that descriptions, colors, images, or other content of this site may contain errors, or be incomplete.  This is not an attempt to be misleading, we just recognize that we are human and a mistake can occur.  Customer should contact Supplier to request clarification of product details before placing an order.

Supplier makes a reasonable effort to source quality products for resale.  Products that are sourced from “recycled” materials may contain contaminants which are customary to the industry as allowed by law or regulation.  For example, compost may contain small pieces of glass or plastic, as these types of contaminants are often found in the compost feedstock.  The Customer’s use of any product sourced from recycled material is at the risk of the Customer with the understanding that these materials likely contain some amount of contaminant material.

Customer agrees to hold Supplier harmless from any and all damages that may result from the use of recycled products.

Some products like rock cobbles and flagstone may vary in color and style.  This is normal and customary for natural products, however, even some “man-made” products will have some variety.  We source quality products from reliable manufacturers and processors to minimize the risk of these varieties.  Product returns will not be allowed for variety differences. 

Transfer of Title of Product

Customer obtains title to product at the moment delivery of the product has been made to Customer’s property or Customer’s vehicle.   Customer may refuse title to product if product does not meet the requirement of Customer.   Refusal of title to product MUST be made BEFORE the product is unloaded to customer’s property.  Therefore, Customer must inspect material BEFORE it is unloaded to their property.

Return Policy

Supplier will allow returns and refunds for unopened pre-packaged products only.   There is a 35% restocking fee for all returned items.  There are no returns allowed for bulk materials, un-banded (opened) pallets, or special order products (including McNear, CalStone, Belgard, Basalite, Keystone, sod, or synthetic turf.)  Supplier will not pick up materials that are to be returned. 

Ownership, License & Restrictions on Use

The content of this Site is the intellectual property of Supplier.  Your use of the Site does not grant you any rights, either intentionally or by implication, to the names, images, pictures, logos and icons identifying Supplier’s products and services contained on the Site.  Any copying, republication, or redistribution of this Site’s content, including by caching, framing or any similar means, without the prior written consent of Supplier is prohibited.  Supplier shall not be liable for any errors in content, or for any action taken in reliance thereon.

Environmental Fee & Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee

Bee Green Recycling & Supply, LLC is committed to providing our recycling services in a safe and efficient manner.  Environmentally related and regulatory related compliance costs are something that are difficult to control and continue to increase year after year.  The purpose of these surcharges is to help us cover costs and achieve an acceptable operating margin.  The Environmental Fee and Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee are fees imposed by our company to help us cover costs associated with our entire enterprise, not a specific cost, fee, or program.  It is not a tax or surcharge required by, or specifically paid to, any regulatory jurisdiction.  The collected fees will help us continue to operate in a safe and environmentally sound manner.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.  The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 year old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.  The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.  Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur: 

We will notify you via email within 7 business days.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law.  This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
  • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

Exercising Access and Deletion Rights

 

To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Calling us at 510-636-0852.
  • Visiting: https://www.beegreen.green/contact/
  • E-mail:

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or deletion once within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

 

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

 

Non-Discrimination

 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
