We do not collect or maintain any information about how you as an individual use our website. We analyze our web log statistics as a whole, but we do not track your browsing as an individual, and we do not share or offer this information to other companies.

What Are Cookies, and Do We Use Them?

Cookies are bits of information that your browser maintains to help a server (such as our website) communicate with you. Our website uses cookies to track whether or not you are logged in.

We do this partly as a convenience for you, so that when you place your order, your billing information is filled in for you automatically. But we also need cookies, in case you leave our site and return, so that we can recognize and match your login and shopping information with your session on the Internet.

As you browse and order on our site, our servers log your activity and your path through our site, recording each request for a page or other information. We collect and analyze data about how visitors use this website, but we do not use this information to identify or contact individual users, nor do we supply any data that could identify individual users to a third party. We use this data only to improve our site and our services. We do nothing with this information, other than analyze it in aggregate, or diagnose occasional problems.

If you are concerned about cookies, and you want to avoid keeping them on your machine, we urge you to use or purchase one of the many excellent "Cookie Eliminator" programs that are available. Other than forcing you to log in again, using a cookie cleaning program will not affect your use of our site.


Security


Protecting our customer's information is always a concern, whether it's online or through traditional methods. In order to protect your personal information on our website we use the highest SSL security currently supported by the most commonly used web browsers. This is the same High-grade (AES-256 256 bit) SSL Encryption that banks use for their on-line web customers. When you are ready to checkout and reach our "Billing Information" page the information you provide will be encrypted using SSL. To confirm that you are in an SSL session our website address should start with "https" and include our domain as in "https://www.bearwood.com/". In addition you should see a closed padlock icon somewhere in your web browser. All online credit card payments are processed by one of the largest payment processors in the world on their SSL secure servers. We do not see, know, store or have access to your credit card number, expiration date, CVV or other personal credit card information.

RETURNS AND EXCHANGE POLICIES

Clients must inspect all packages and goods at time of receipt. Any damage or indication of damage must be noted on the freight receipt at time of delivery.

All returns require a Returned Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#). Our Customer Service Department must be contacted to obtain the correct RMA# for return shipments. The assignment of a RMA# does not automatically assure a credit will be issued. All returns must show the Return Authorization Number on the outside of the packaging and on any related correspondence. Items must be returned within 30 days of the invoice date.

Unless otherwise noted in our RMA (Returned Merchandise Authorization), all returns must be shipped to us via U.S. Postal Service. Parcel Post surface mail is the least expensive.

All parcels containing returned merchandise must without exception be clearly marked return of unsatisfactory goods on the parcel’s address side along with the RMA # ('returned merchandise authorization' number) to assist us in identifying the parcel, its contents, and the reason the goods are being returned.  The Customs Declaration label must also be marked return of unsatisfactory goods. Unless otherwise noted on your RMA authorization returns should be addressed as follows:

Attn. Product Returns, (RA #_____________)
Bear Woods Supply Co. Inc.
P.O. Box 275
Cornwallis NS  B0S 1H0
Canada


Returned items must be received in new and unused condition in original packaging. Special order, discontinued and final clearance items may not be returned without specific authorization.

Returned items must be returned, freight prepaid. If return is due to our error we will reimburse you for shipping U.S. Parcel Post Ground rate. Customer is responsible for insurance and delivery confirmation in case of loss or damage. Refunds are issued to the original account and payment method.
