Zip Code Exclusivity: Antique Candle Co.® intentionally limits its availability and will provide zip code exclusivity to certain stores selling their products, subject to Antique Candle Co.’s sole discretion. Exclusivity is generally limited to one Active Store within each Zip Code, but factors such as customer demographic, target market, purchase history, etc. are also considered. In order to become an Active Store, and retain Zip Code Exclusivity, a store must:
- Apply for Zip Code Exclusivity;
- Place an opening order within one month from application’s approval; and
- Place a new order at least once a quarter (every three months)
Failing to complete the above may cause your store to be removed as an Active Store and lose Zip Code Exclusivity. If your store is moving or expanding out of your listed Zip Code, please let us know so that we can update your account.
Antique Candle Co.® reserves the right to deny exclusivity to applications at any time, and revoke exclusivity rights with 14 days’ notice. Zip Code Exclusivity will not be provided to any stores located in Lafayette, Indiana.
We reserve the right to deny exclusivity access at any time, especially for those businesses that operate online, through catalog or franchise stores, or host occasional 'pop-ups.'

You further agree to indemnify and hold Antique Candle Co.® for any taxes or penalties owed should your order be found not tax-exempt.
