Terms & Conditions

These Website Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of https://olivercorp.com and its pages, forms, tools, content, and related online features (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is operated by Oliver Carbide Products, Inc. (“Oliver,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using the Site, or by submitting a form after being presented with a link to these Terms, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or submit information through it. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Scope of the Site and Separate Business Agreements

The Site provides information about Oliver, its brands, structured tungsten-carbide tools and components, manufacturing capabilities, applications, and services. It also allows visitors to contact us, request information or a quotation, submit design information, apply to become a distributor, and apply for employment.

No online sale or order. The Site does not provide checkout, accept payment, place an order, or by itself create a purchase, sale, manufacturing, distributor, employment, or other commercial contract. Any quotation is an invitation to proceed on the terms stated in the quotation and is not acceptance of an order unless Oliver expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

Separate terms control transactions. A quotation, purchase-order acknowledgment, sales terms, nondisclosure agreement, distributor agreement, employment document, or other written agreement accepted by Oliver may contain additional or different terms. If those terms conflict with these Terms, the separately accepted written agreement controls for the applicable transaction or relationship.

Inquiries, Quotations, and Technical Submissions

The Site may allow you to submit contact information, drawings, photographs, CAD files, dimensions, specifications, process information, application details, or other materials (collectively, “Submitted Materials”). You remain responsible for deciding what to submit.

Your authority. You represent that you own the Submitted Materials or have all rights and permissions needed to provide them to Oliver, and that Oliver’s permitted use of them will not violate another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality, contractual, or other rights.

Limited permission to use. You retain any ownership rights you have in Submitted Materials. You grant Oliver and its service providers a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, review, analyze, annotate, adapt, and otherwise use the Submitted Materials as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, assess feasibility, prepare a quotation, communicate with you, maintain appropriate records, comply with law, and, if the parties enter a separate agreement, support performance under that agreement. This permission does not transfer ownership of the Submitted Materials to Oliver.

Confidentiality and special handling. Oliver may apply reasonable internal safeguards to business information it receives. However, unless Oliver has signed a separate nondisclosure or other written agreement, these Terms and your submission do not create a contractual duty of confidentiality, determine whether information qualifies as a trade secret, or change either party’s intellectual-property rights. Do not submit classified information or information subject to export-control, cybersecurity, data-localization, contractual, or other special handling requirements unless Oliver has agreed in writing in advance to receive it.

No obligation. A submission does not require Oliver to accept a project, provide a quotation, reserve capacity, manufacture an item, enter a relationship, or keep information for any particular period. Quotations, feasibility assessments, estimated lead times, and availability remain subject to review, material and capacity availability, and final written agreement.

Privacy

Oliver handles personal information submitted through the Site as described in its Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains the categories of information collected, why it is used, when it may be disclosed, and the choices available to individuals.

Employment Applications

Submitting an employment application or related information does not create an employment relationship, guarantee an interview or employment, or change the at-will nature of employment where applicable. Any applicant certification, authorization, offer letter, or employment agreement presented separately will govern its subject matter. You are responsible for ensuring that application information is truthful, accurate, and complete.

Site Content and Intellectual Property

The Site and its text, graphics, photographs, videos, designs, downloads, software, page layouts, logos, product names, trademarks, and other content (collectively, “Site Content”) are owned by or licensed to Oliver and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Oliver, Kutzall, Rubberhog, Shieldzall, and associated names and marks may not be used without permission.

Subject to these Terms, Oliver grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Site Content for lawful personal use or internal business evaluation. You may print or download a reasonable number of pages for those purposes if you retain all proprietary notices. No other license is granted. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit Site Content without Oliver’s prior written permission.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Site to:

• violate any applicable law, regulation, court order, contract, or third-party right;
• submit false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, unlawful, infringing, or malicious content;
• impersonate another person, misrepresent your affiliation or authority, or use another person’s information without permission;
• gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, an account, a server, a network, or data;
• introduce malware, harmful code, or material designed to disrupt, damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, index, monitor, or extract Site Content or data through automated means without Oliver’s written permission, except for standard indexing by public search engines that follows applicable robots instructions;
• reverse engineer, probe, scan, test, circumvent, or defeat a security, access-control, rate-limiting, or technical measure; or
• interfere with another person’s use of the Site or use the Site to send spam or other unauthorized communications.

Oliver may investigate suspected misuse and may restrict or suspend access, preserve relevant information, or cooperate with lawful authorities when reasonably necessary.

Product, Application, and Safety Information

Site Content concerning products, dimensions, materials, compatibility, performance, availability, suggested applications, or results is general information and may be incomplete, become outdated, or vary with the tool, workpiece, machine, operating conditions, and user. Product images may not be to scale, and product or service descriptions may change without notice.

Before selecting or using a product, obtain and follow the current product documentation and safety instructions, the machine manufacturer’s instructions, and applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. Use trained personnel, appropriate guards and controls, and suitable personal protective equipment. The Site is not a substitute for professional engineering judgment, a task-specific risk assessment, or direct confirmation from Oliver of a product’s suitability for a particular use.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may link to or use websites, content, applications, or services operated by third parties. Those resources are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement, and Oliver does not control or assume responsibility for third-party resources, availability, security, content, or practices.

Site Availability and Changes

Oliver may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We do not guarantee that the Site will always be available, secure, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. You are responsible for the equipment, connectivity, and security needed to access the Site and for retaining copies of information you need.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” OLIVER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE SITE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Oliver does not warrant that Site Content is complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose; that the Site will be uninterrupted or free from harmful components; or that a submission will be received, retained, or treated as an order. This disclaimer applies only to the Site and does not replace an express written warranty, if any, contained in a separately accepted agreement for products or services.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OLIVER AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Oliver’s aggregate liability for all claims arising solely from the Site or these Terms will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid Oliver specifically for access to the Site during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limitations do not apply to liability for fraud or willful misconduct or to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. A separate written agreement may establish different remedies or limitations for products, services, or another relationship.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limitations. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Oliver and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, judgments, and reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) Submitted Materials that infringe, misappropriate, or violate another person’s rights; (b) your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Site; or (c) your material breach of these Terms. Oliver may assume control of the defense of a covered claim, and you will reasonably cooperate. You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits fault by or imposes an obligation on Oliver without Oliver’s written consent.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be waived, the exclusive venue for such a dispute will be the state courts located in St. Clair County, Michigan, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Changes to These Terms

Oliver may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be posted on the Site with an updated “Last updated” date and will apply prospectively from their effective date. When required by law, we will provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

General

These Terms, together with any provisions expressly incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and Oliver concerning use of the Site. They do not replace separate written agreements governing quotations, orders, products, services, confidentiality, distribution, or employment. If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without Oliver’s written consent; Oliver may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, or by operation of law. Headings are for convenience only.
