By continuing to use the Site after 4P posts any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified. Changes apply prospectively from the date they are posted.

VII. Account Governance and Platform Migration
1. User Registration
To access certain features of the Site, you may be required to create an account by providing certain information, including your first name, last name, email address, and phone number. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Site’s registration form. If 4P has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, 4P has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site or any portion thereof. Our use of any personally identifiable information you provide to 4P as part of the registration process is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
2. Account Security and Passwords
Once your profile is established through the Site’s registration process, you will be issued unique account credentials to access certain features of the Site. You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your username, password, and account information, and you assume full responsibility for all activities, whether authorized by you or executed by others, that occur under your account credentials.
You agree to notify 4P immediately of any unauthorized account use or any other breach of security. 4P cannot, and will not, be liable for any loss, damage, or unauthorized access arising from your failure to safeguard your account information or from vulnerabilities resulting from weak or shared passwords. To protect platform integrity, we reserve the right to suspend profiles, mandate password resets, or require account validation steps at any time.
3. Platform Migration and System Upgrades
Due to system upgrades, database migrations, or infrastructure transitions, 4P may periodically require you to re-register, re-authenticate, or manually reactivate your account. For security reasons, legacy passwords cannot always be transferred between platform architectures.
In the event of a system transition, you must complete the designated account activation routine, verify your primary email credentials, and configure a new secure password. 4P reserves the right to restrict account access or suspend profiles if you fail to complete these mandatory security authentication procedures following an infrastructure migration.
VIII. Order Acceptance, Limitations, and Modifications
1. Order Acceptance and Verification
The receipt of an order number or order confirmation does not constitute the formal acceptance of an order or a confirmation of an offer to sell. 4P reserves the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notification, to refuse, limit, or cancel any order you place with us. Verification of personal or financial information may be required prior to the acceptance of any order.
2. Quantity Restrictions and Prohibited Resales
We reserve the right to limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, utilizing the same credit card, and/or orders that use the exact same billing or shipping address. Certain order patterns or purchasing behaviors may constitute an improper use of the Site. If we determine, in our sole judgment, that a purchase, order, or account activity is associated with an unauthorized dealer, reseller, or distributor, we reserve the right to take any necessary action to hinder or deter such purchase and future orders, including, without limitation, restricting sales to any consumer or account, canceling pending orders, charging restocking fees, declining to issue refunds or accept returns, and/or immediately suspending or terminating the associated account(s).
3. Modifications, Cancellations, and Price Adjustments
In the event that we modify, restrict, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address, billing address, and/or phone number you provided at the time the order was executed. If an order is canceled or modified, items purchased pursuant to a tiered or quantity discount program may be re-priced at our sole discretion to reflect the adjusted transaction value.
IX. Financial Responsibility, Checkout Processing, and Billing
-
AUTHORIZED USE:
You agree to use the Site and to purchase services or products through the Site for legitimate, non-commercial purposes only. You also agree not to make any purchases for speculative, false, or fraudulent purposes or for the purpose of anticipating demand for a particular product or service. You agree to only purchase goods or services for yourself or for another person for whom you are legally permitted to do so. When making a purchase for a third party that requires you to submit the third party’s personal information to 4P or a merchant, you represent that you have obtained the express consent of such third party to provide such third party’s personal information.
2. PROMISE TO PAY
You agree to be financially responsible for all purchases made by you or someone acting on your behalf through the Site. In return for the products and goods provided to you, you promise to pay 4P the total amount due for your purchase, including any interest, shipping, handling, finance charges, and recurring installment obligations as specified at checkout or within your designated payment schedule. In addition, you agree to pay us any other amounts you may owe 4P under the terms of your purchase. Any payment schedule provided to you assumes all of your payments are made on time, and you agree to make each payment on or before the close of business on its due date as set forth in the payment schedule.
3. PAYMENT PROCESSING:
Credit card processing and transaction authorizations for all payments made through the Site are managed principally through our primary third-party payment processor’s native infrastructure. We reserve the right to route transaction traffic through any compliant secondary payment gateway at our sole discretion without prior notice. By submitting an order, you authorize 4P and its integrated payment platforms to process your transaction via the designated payment method for the full order balance, including applicable taxes and shipping fees.
4. BANK FEES AND LIABILITY EXCLUSIONS:
4P is not liable for transaction declines, processing holds, or payment delays that may occur as a result of bank holidays, the processing schedule of your credit card issuer, bank or credit card processing errors, or other events beyond our control. You assume sole responsibility for any overdraft penalties, insufficient funds fees, or transaction management penalties initiated by your financial institution, the designated financing provider, or any primary or secondary payment gateway as a result of your purchases.
5. FAILED TRANSACTIONS AND REVERSALS:
If your payment method is declined, or if a completed payment is later reversed, canceled, or charged back by your bank, credit card issuer, or third-party financing partner for any standard upfront purchase, recurring subscription, or scheduled installment plan payment, 4P reserves the right to immediately suspend processing, cancel the pending order, or hold any shipments in transit without liability.
In the event that a product is shipped or delivered prior to a payment failure or reversal, you acknowledge that title and ownership shall not vest in you (or shall immediately revert to us or our supplier), and you agree that you will either immediately execute a valid alternative payment for the full balance or return the un-purchased items in their original condition, at your own expense, to us or to our designated fulfillment location.
6. INSTALLMENT PAYMENT METHODS:
If you select an installment payment structure at checkout, your plan will be processed either directly through 4P or through an authorized third-party payment provider as determined automatically at checkout. In return for the products and goods provided to you under any installment plan, you are required to maintain a valid credit card on file while a balance is owed, subject to the terms of your assigned provider. For plans managed directly by 4P, recurring balances will be automatically processed using your payment method on file, which can be updated at any time by contacting 4P using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section of our Site. For plans routed through an external payment platform, you acknowledge that credit authorization holds, funding timelines, and recurring payment frequencies are strictly governed by that provider’s terms and conditions, and any necessary updates to your payment billing details must be managed within your secure account portal or customer self-service tools provided by that respective platform.
7. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS:
Payments are credited to your installment account on the Business Day they are received, provided 4P receives your payment before 4:00 p.m. Central Time. For the purposes of these Terms, a “Business Day” means Monday through Friday, excluding official United States federal banking holidays. All payments received after 4:00 p.m. Central Time will be credited no later than the next Business Day. We will apply your payments first to any accrued but unpaid balances, and then to the next scheduled payment, or any other principal amounts outstanding.
8. DEFAULT DEFINED:
You will be considered in default of your installment payment plan upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, a “Default”):
- You provide false or misleading personal or financial information during checkout.
- You fail to make a required payment by its designated due date, or a payment is returned to 4P for any reason and is not successfully cleared within any applicable grace period.
- You fail to meet the terms of a modified payment plan explicitly permitted or structured by 4P.
- You file for bankruptcy or become a debtor under applicable bankruptcy laws.
- You otherwise fail to comply with any material provision of your purchase agreement.
9. CONSEQUENCES OF A DEFAULT:
If a Default occurs, and you fail to cure a Default within thirty (30) days, 4P may, at our option, accelerate your installment payment plan, requiring immediate payment of your entire outstanding balance. In doing so, 4P reserves the right to pursue all lawful collection remedies, including designating your account as past due and placing it with a collection agency. By taking these actions, 4P does not give up the right to use another way to collect money you owe 4P. Any delay or failure by 4P to exercise a legal or contractual right does not constitute a waiver of that right, nor does a waiver on one occasion apply to any future instance. Additionally, 4P may report information about a Default and your payment performance under your installment payment plan to consumer reporting agencies in accordance with applicable laws. Late or missed payments may impact your credit report.
10. COLLECTION:
You understand that if 4P is required to engage an attorney to collect any amounts due under your installment payment plan, you will be required to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other related fees and costs, unless prohibited by applicable law.
11. PREPAYMENT:
You may prepay all of the amounts you owe on your installment payment plan at any time and without penalty. Partial payments are not accepted.
12. AUTOSHIP AND SUBSCRIPTIONS:
4P may provide subscription services. By subscribing to such service, you have confirmed that you accept our Terms. Your subscription will automatically renew on a recurring basis at which time your credit card will be charged automatically for the subscription products, including tax and applicable shipping and handling fees, until you cancel your subscription. You may cancel your subscription at any time online or by contacting 4P by using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section of our Site. If you need to update, change, or replace your payment method on file for an active subscription, you must do so securely by logging directly into your online customer account portal or by contacting our customer support team prior to your next scheduled renewal date.
13. PRICING AND ERRORS:
Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. 4P cannot guarantee the price of an item until your order has been placed. Occasionally, pricing errors may occur on the Site. In the event of a pricing error, 4P reserves the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors without further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from 4P.
14. PROMOTIONAL CODES:
Promotional codes are limited in nature and may expire or be discontinued at any time without notice. Promotional codes are void where prohibited by law and cannot be copied, sold, or otherwise distributed. They are not redeemable for cash and may be subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason.
15. GIFT CARDS:
The risk of loss and title for gift cards passes to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient. Gift cards should be protected like cash, as they are non-replaceable and non-refundable if lost or stolen. Gift cards are redeemable by the bearer only for products on our Site. They cannot be exchanged for cash, check, or credit, except where required by state law.

Warranties on products purchased from 4P are governed by our Warranty, Return, & Refund Policy.

XIV. Limitation of Liability
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL 4P, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND PARENT COMPANIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES, OR THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE, EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED BEFOREHAND OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. (BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES AND PARENT COMPANIES OR AFFILIATES IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH STATE LAW.)

XVI. Governing Law
These Terms of Service will be governed by federal law, and to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Tennessee. This choice of governing law will remain in effect regardless of any subsequent changes to your or our location. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms.
XVII. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS SECTION MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. THIS SECTION ALSO CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR FINAL BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PROCEED IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION.
THIS SECTION ALSO ADDRESSES THAT YOU AND 4PATRIOTS ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW AND TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION SUBJECT TO THE LIMITED EXCLUSION BELOW. IN ARBITRATION, DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.
THIS SECTION ALSO REQUIRES YOU TO GIVE US NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTE INFORMALLY BEFORE STARTING ARBITRATION, PERMITS EITHER OF US TO ELECT SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF ARBITRATION, AND GIVES YOU THIRTY (30) DAYS TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION ENTIRELY.
1. Informal Resolution Required Before Arbitration
Before initiating any arbitration or small claims proceeding, you and 4P agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of sixty (60) days. To begin, the party raising the dispute must send a written Notice of Dispute. If you are the party raising the dispute, your Notice of Dispute must be sent to 4Patriots, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 2920 Berry Hill Drive, Suite 210, Nashville, TN 37204, and must (a) be personally signed by you, (b) state your name, mailing address, email address, and, if the dispute concerns communications sent to a telephone number, that telephone number, (c) describe with specificity the conduct giving rise to the dispute and the dates on which it occurred, and (d) state the specific relief you are seeking. A notice submitted by an agent, or a notice that is not individualized to you, does not satisfy this requirement.
The sixty (60) day period begins when 4P receives a complete Notice of Dispute. Neither party may commence arbitration or a small claims proceeding until the period has expired. Completion of this informal resolution process is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and either party may seek a court order to enforce this requirement. Any applicable statute of limitations or other filing deadline is tolled while the period runs. Any offer of resolution made during this period is inadmissible in any subsequent proceeding.
2. Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under, out of, or relating to these Terms, your use of the Site, or any purchases or transactions executed through the Site shall be subject to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). For disputes involving a consumer, the arbitration will be administered by AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. For all other disputes, the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration in accordance with its rules, the parties will agree on a comparable administrator, and if they cannot agree, either party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint one under 9 U.S.C. § 5. Any arbitration award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
3. Small Claims Election
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, either you or 4P may elect to have an individual dispute heard in small claims court, provided the dispute qualifies for that court’s jurisdiction and is brought on an individual and non-representative basis. If a claim is filed in arbitration that could have been brought in small claims court, either party may, at any time before an arbitrator is appointed, require that the claim proceed in small claims court instead. A small claims proceeding under this paragraph must be brought in the county where you reside or in Davidson County, Tennessee. Electing small claims court is not a waiver of this section as to any other dispute.
4. Arbitration Fees
For any consumer arbitration, you are responsible only for the consumer filing fee specified in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, and 4P will pay the remaining AAA administrative fees and the arbitrator’s compensation as provided in those rules. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines that applicable law provides otherwise.
5. Location and Format of Proceedings
Consumer arbitrations will be conducted by written submission or by telephone or videoconference unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary. If an in-person hearing is held, it will take place in the county where you reside, or in Nashville, Tennessee if you agree. Arbitrations that do not involve a consumer will take place in Nashville, Tennessee.
6. Delegation of Arbitrability
The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute concerning the interpretation, applicability, scope, enforceability, formation, or validity of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or part of it is void or voidable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dispute concerning the enforceability, scope, or application of the Class Action and Mass Arbitration Waiver in Section 8, including the batching procedure described in it, is reserved exclusively for a court of competent jurisdiction and not for an arbitrator.
7. Your Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to 4Patriots, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 2920 Berry Hill Drive, Suite 210, Nashville, TN 37204, within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out affects only this arbitration agreement. All other provisions of these Terms continue to apply, and opting out will not affect your relationship with 4P in any other respect.
8. Class Action and Mass Arbitration Waiver
You may only resolve disputes with 4P on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are prohibited.
The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action) unless all relevant parties specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.
If multiple arbitration demands presenting substantially similar factual or legal issues are filed by or with the same counsel, the parties agree those demands will be resolved in staged batches while preserving the individual nature of each claim. Where multiple demands are filed by, with the assistance of, or with the coordination of the same or coordinated counsel or organization, the following procedure applies. The demands will be grouped into batches. Only the demands in the batch then proceeding will be filed with the administrator, and administrative fees, case management fees, and arbitrator compensation will accrue only as to that batch. All other demands are held in abeyance, and any applicable statute of limitations or filing deadline is tolled as to those demands until their batch commences. Following the conclusion of the first batch, the parties will participate in a single global mediation before any further batch proceeds. The parties will jointly direct the administrator to apply this procedure, and any dispute about its application is for a court to decide.
9. Survival
This Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver section survives the termination of these Terms, the closure of your account, and your cancellation of or opt-out from the Messaging Service, and it applies to disputes concerning communications or transactions occurring before or after any such termination, closure, or cancellation.
XVIII. Terminations
We may cancel, suspend, or terminate your right to use the Site, or any part of the Site, at any time and without prior notice in our sole discretion. In the event of cancellation or termination, you are no longer authorized to access the part of the Site affected by such restriction. You agree that 4P will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or termination of your access to the Site. The restrictions imposed on you with respect to material downloaded from the Site, as well as the provisions set forth in these Terms regarding Intellectual Property Rights, User-Generated Content and Submissions, Interactive Features and Prohibited Conduct, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver, together with any other rights and obligations which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive, shall survive any termination of these Terms.
XIX. Right to Assign, No Waivers, and Severability
These Terms may not be assigned by you. 4P may assign or transfer these Terms and our related rights and obligations without your consent and without notice to you. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of these Terms is not a waiver of any of these Terms or our rights. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of any remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action and Mass Arbitration Waiver is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request for relief shall be severed from the arbitration and brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the remainder of the Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver section shall continue to apply to all other claims. In no event shall any class, collective, consolidated, or representative claim be arbitrated.
In addition, you agree to our Messaging Terms and Messaging Privacy Policy.
