I'm afraid I think Outwell can't really be held responsible for something like this. If you got the tent covered in bird droppings from the trees, or damaged by a branch dropping on the tent in a storm, you couldn't really blame the manufacturer, and tree sap is just the same.
As iains says, we've all camped under trees at some point, and by rivers, and halfway up a hill. There's not really any ideal place to pitch, and you just have to run with what happens. A tent is a flimsy thing pitched outdoors in wind and weather, and will always be vulnerable.
If it's very sticky, I'd just sponge it gently with water. That will probably bring it off. As for waterproofing, I imagine that can be done with Fabsil or some similar product, but I've never used that on a polyester tent. I'm sure someone here will be able to give you advice on that. Hope you can restore the proofing.
