You will need to sign up for a user account to use some of our Services. Any use by anyone under the age of 13 is prohibited. You agree that the information that you provide us during registration is accurate, complete and current and that you will update your information with us to keep it accurate, complete and current.

Payments

If you purchase any products or services ("Products") through our Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees and taxes. Products sold through the Services may be offered by Matilda's Bloombox or other third parties. The availability of any Product does not imply our endorsement of the Products. You authorize us to store your payment information to facilitate easy payment for future purchases. By providing your payment information, you represent, warrant and covenant that you are legally authorized to initiate payments using such information.

In the case of any late payments, we reserve the right to charge a late fee on all past due payments equal to 5% per month on the unpaid balance. You will be responsible for all collection costs, attorney fees, and court costs incurred in the collection of past due amounts.

Products

We strive for accurate providing of the Products sold through the Services. However, occasional errors or mistakes may cause inaccurate prices to appear. We have the right to void any purchases that display an incorrect price.

We do not represent, warrant or guarantee that Product descriptions provided through the Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free.

We reserve the right to cancel any order you place through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, 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, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting you at the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

Deliveries

If you contact us to claim that your Products were not delivered, we require at least 24 hours to investigate and determine the status of your order. In many cases, a delivery was attempted, but either the recipient was not available and no one was able to accept the delivery. In this event, we will leave your order in a safe place outside the front door of the delivery address and contact you via e-mail to let you know where your order has been left. If we determine that no delivery was made, we will, in our sole discretion, provide you with a refund for your order or deliver your order on the next business day.

Refund Policy

If you receive your order and have questions regarding the quality of the Products, please contact us immediately at contact@matildasbloombox.com, but in any event, within 48 hours of receiving your order.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MATILDA'S BLOOMBOX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any claims, legal proceedings or litigation arising in connection with these Terms or the Services[, for which the dispute arbitration provision below does not apply,] will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in the County of San Mateo, California. You consent to the jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

Dispute Resolution

You and Matilda's Bloombox agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or to your use of the Services (collectively "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Matilda's Magnolias each are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless you and Matilda's Magnolias agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form class action proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of the agreement contained in these Terms.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available athttp://www.adr.org or by calling the AA at 1-800-778-7879). The Federal Arbitration act will govern the interpretation of this section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within 7 days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Matilda's Magnolias agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in [San Mateo]. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Matilda's Magnolias submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by AAA Rules. Subject to AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be as set forth in the AAA Rules.]

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions [(except as provided for under “Dispute Resolution”)]. This is the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between you and us with respect to such subject matter. Neither these Terms nor any right, obligation, or remedy hereunder is assignable, transferable, delegatable, or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, transfer, delegation, or sublicense shall be null and void. We may assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any right or obligation or remedy hereunder in its sole discretion.
