4.2. Special Terms Related to Microbiome Products and Services.

From time to time we may make available directly or through a partner various Products related to microbiome testing and analysis.

4.2.1. Limitations of Testing.

Microbiome testing is a delicate process and many things can go wrong during the sample collection, processing, and analysis steps that can cause errors. While we endeavor to provide accurate results, factors both within and outside our control may corrupt data. When we discover an error we will promptly notify you and take appropriate corrective action.

4.2.2. Snapshot in Time.

Results from microbiome analysis are subject to the limitations of, and chances of errors in, collection, sequencing, and analysis of a pet’s microbiome at the specific point in time the stool was passed. Unlike the relatively fixed nature of DNA, microbiomes are subject to change due to a variety of factors including diet, environment, and health conditions.

4.2.3. Emerging Science.

Microbiome sequencing is an emerging science subject to rapid change. While we attempt to provide information that we believe best represents the state of the field, it is highly likely to change as we collect more data and refine collection, sequencing, and analysis techniques and technologies.

4.2.4. Not a Medical Test and Not Veterinary Advice.

RESULTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE, AND INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE AND OUR TEST RESULTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION TO DIAGNOSE OR TREAT A HEALTH PROBLEM OR CONDITION, OR REPLACE CONSULTATIONS WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN. ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION AS A RESULT OF SUCH INFORMATION. NO STATEMENTS MADE BY OR ON OUR BEHALF, OR ANY RESULTS PROVIDED BY US, HAVE BEEN EVALUATED BY ANY REGULATORY BODY.

4.2.5. Consent to Pet Information Use for Research and Publication.

We may include your pet’s information - but not your personal information - in aggregated data we disclose to other users (for instance, to show how results compare to a population set) or third parties for various purposes including publication of studies.

4.2.6. Data and Sample Ownership and License.

We own all rights, title, and interest in and to fecal samples and all foregoing information generated by us from your pet’s samples or microbiome analysis and grant you a limited license to view and share your microbiome data with your family, friends, and veterinarian for personal use only. Your purchase of any Products does not entitle you to an interest in or rights to receive any material or intellectual property we generate, even if your sample(s) or data from your pet's testing is used in such processes. In the event all such rights and title do not vest in us immediately, you hereby grant to us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and publicly display all such samples or information.

4.2.7. Compliance with Law.

You agree that your purchase and use of any microbiome Product will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

4.3. Purchases through 3rd Parties.

In the event you purchase Products through a third party, such as Shopify or Amazon, separate terms and conditions may apply. Please refer to any vendor directly for details on their applicable terms and conditions.

4.4. Trials, Special Offers, & Other Promotions

From time to time, we may offer trials, special offers, or other promotions for specified periods of time. If we offer you a promotion, additional terms will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular promotion or at registration for the offer. In the event of a conflict with these terms, the specific terms of the special offer or promotion will prevail.

WITH RESPECT TO TRIALS, ONCE YOUR TRIAL PERIOD ENDS, WE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR TRIAL PERIOD. INSTRUCTIONS FOR FREEZING OR CANCELING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.1 ABOVE. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM US THAT YOUR TRIAL PERIOD HAS ENDED OR THAT THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEGUN. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE PROMOTIONS AND SPECIAL OFFERS, INCLUDING ONGOING TRIALS, AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

4.5. Payment and Billing Information

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your subscription or other purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, an “Order”). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your Order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your account, you can do so at any time by logging into your account.

Products purchased by and shipped to users in locations in the U.S. may be subject to applicable state or local sales or use tax, privilege tax or similar transaction-based taxes (“Taxes”). The amount of Taxes is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the type of Products purchased, your billing address, or the location of the designated delivery address if different from the billing address.

You are responsible for paying the applicable Taxes and/or duties associated with the purchase of any Products through the Service. For Buyers in the U.S., the rate of Taxes applied to purchase of taxable Products is a combined rate based on the state and local rates of the address where the Products are purchased or shipped to.

You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your Subscription, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.

In the event your credit card fails when we attempt a charge, we will try again periodically and promptly notify you and try again periodically. If we cannot successfully charge your card, we reserve the right to not send your Order. If we do send your Order, you are responsible for prompt payment.

4.5.1 Charge Timing for Subscriptions and Subscription Add-ons

We may charge for your first order at the time you complete signup. Subsequent orders, or any changes to an upcoming recurring order, typically will be charged 4-8 days prior to your next scheduled delivery, though timing may vary.

4.5.2. Charge Timing for One-time Purchases

One-time purchases not part of a subscription plan, or placed concurrently with a first subscription order, will be charged at the time the order is placed.

4.5.3. Changes to Recurring Orders

CHANGES TO AN UPCOMING RECURRING ORDER MUST BE RECEIVED BY 9:59AM PACIFIC TIME ON THE DAY YOU ARE TYPICALLY CHARGED TO TAKE EFFECT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK (for instance, if you are charged on Fridays for Orders received on Tuesdays, you need to make changes by 9:59AM Pacific Time on Friday for the next Tuesday Order). Customers should refer to their individual account pages for their specific dates. We reserve the right to change or modify our charge times and order cutoff at our sole discretion.

4.6 Account Ledger

Your account may be associated with a ledger with a positive or negative balance. Balances may be created or earned through prepayments, loyalty incentives, or other offers or mechanisms we make available from time to time. Your balance may be negative if we are unable to process payment for an Order.

When we process an Order for payment we first will debit any existing account balance and then charge the remainder to your payment method. Similarly, if you have a negative balance such amount first will be added to the charge amount.

4.6.1 Promotional Credit

At our discretion we may offer the ability to purchase account credits at a discount, such as $100 of account credit for $90 (“Promotional Credits”). PROMOTIONAL CREDITS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND ONLY MAY BE USED TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS. PROMOTIONAL CREDITS ARE VALID FOR 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE THEY ARE ISSUED.

We may make available the opportunity to earn Nom Coins or other rewards from time to time (“Rewards”). Such Rewards have no cash value, may expire, and may only be used for purchases of our Products. Rewards may have additional applicable terms available on the Site on which they were offered.

4.6.6 Refer-a-Friend Program

As a Refer-a-Friend member (a “Referrer”), you are subject to Nom Nom Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, as well as the following additional Terms & Conditions for Nom Nom’s Refer-a-Friend program:

Eligibility. Eligibility is limited to individuals only. Nom Nom Refer-a-Friend Program cannot be used by businesses for affiliate lead generation as determined in Nom Nom sole discretion. Offer is valid on new Nom Nom accounts and not able to be applied to current or previous customer accounts. Only one Referral Offer may be redeemed per account.
No Spam. You must comply with all up-to-date “SPAM” laws. For example, emails must be created and distributed in a personal manner and bulk email distribution is strongly discouraged. Any distribution of your referral link that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of your account and exclusion from Nom Nom’s Refer-a-Friend program.
Right to Close Accounts. Nom Nom reserves the right to close the account(s) of any Referrer and/or Referred Customer and to request proper payment if the Referrer and/or Referred Customer attempts to use the Nom Nom Refer-a-Friend program in a questionable manner or breaches any of these Terms & Conditions or is in violation of any law, statute or governmental regulation.
Right to Cancel Program or Change Terms. Nom Nom reserves the right to cancel the Refer-a-Friend Program or to change these Terms & Conditions at any time in its sole discretion.

4.7. Pricing and Availability

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable Taxes and other charges, if any, are additional unless explicitly stated otherwise. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if we change the amounts or other charges associated with your Subscription, we will provide advance notice of such changes in accordance with Section 3. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable Taxes. The shipment of a Subscription to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes, unless you cancel your Subscription in accordance with the cancellation policies set forth herein. Note that if you request a recipe change, or make a recipe change in your account section, your price will likely change and you will not receive a notice outside of your account section.

All of our Products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain Products, and to substitute Products (including, but not limited to, specific meal ingredients or entire meals) without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality Products, and given the perishable nature of certain Products and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us at [email protected].

4.8. Deliveries

We send Orders for delivery through third-party carriers. You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive for any damage or other issues upon delivery, including that the Product is at a refrigerated temperature. To maintain the quality and integrity of the Products, you should immediately remove the food from the box and liner and refrigerate or freeze according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions on refrigeration and food safety, which can be found here and here. From the time of delivery, the condition and consumption of the Products are solely at your risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper handling, preparation, storage, use and consumption of the Products following delivery.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the carrier will leave the package wherever is feasible or customary for your location. We encourage you to provide specific delivery instructions in your account section, but we cannot guarantee that the carriers will follow them. Our food is designed to remain fresh for multiple hours after delivery, but depending on the season and temperature in your area at the time of delivery you should plan in advance for proper storage. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL FEE IF OUR CARRIER CANNOT DELIVER A PACKAGE BECAUSE YOU PROVIDED IMPROPER INSTRUCTIONS OR THE CARRIER IS UNABLE TO LEAVE THE PACKAGE.

While we strive to provide the best customer experience possible, we are not liable for the actions or inactions of third party carriers. Please contact us as soon as possible if you experience an issue with the carrier.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE DURING YOUR SCHEDULED DELIVERY WINDOW.

In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, our carrier will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably possible. In the event that timely delivery is not feasible, we may retry, cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit, or resend a new Order at a later date.

4.9. Dry Ice

We may place dry ice in Orders with perishable product to ensure temperature control in transit. You understand that dry ice may cause injuries if it comes into contact with exposed skin or is left to sublimate in an area without appropriate ventilation. You agree to keep dry ice away from animals and people, in an area with adequate airflow.

4.10. No Resale

You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products for commercial purposes.

4.11. Money Back Guarantee —— First Order

If you don’t see the benefits of a fresh diet within 30 days of receiving your first order, please contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of receiving the order to request a refund of your first order or explore other options to help.

4.12. Service Charges

At our sole discretion, we reserve the right to charge service fees, including, but not limited to, the following circumstances: (a) you request a change to your Order after our change cutoff and we are able to accommodate your request; (b) you request an Order sent outside of our normal service area; (c) you request a non-standard variation of our Product.

4.13. Food Amounts

If you are a Subscription customer, based on information you provide we send an amount of meal plan Product likely to meet the needs of your pet. However, every pet is unique and it is your responsibility to monitor their reaction to the Product and request any necessary adjustments. Our recommended portion sizes are based on you feeding only our Product, and we obviously cannot account for other food or treats that you feed without specific and accurate information from you.

4.14. Health Conditions & Product Suitability

It is your responsibility to verify whether our Products are suitable for your pets and to inform us if your pet has any health issues, including allergies. Though we have veterinarians on our team, we are not your veterinarians and we DO NOT offer veterinary advice. We make NO REPRESENTATIONS about the suitability of our Product for your specific pet, and disclaim all liability associated with any adverse reactions. If you are concerned about whether our Products are suitable for your pet, please consult with your veterinarian.

4.15 Delivery Area

We may change our delivery zones at any time and without notice. To determine whether we deliver to a specified address please enter an address into our signup process or email us at [email protected].

4.16. Returns and Refunds

We do not accept returns of perishable Products or opened items. Return requests on non-perishable, unopened items must be made within 2 weeks of receipt and include all original packaging.

Although we have no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor User Content, we reserve the right, and have absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit User Content posted or stored on the Sites at any time and for any reason, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense.

Each user of the Sites is solely responsible for any and all of its own User Content. Because we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content, whether provided by you or by others. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content. Your interactions with other Site users are solely between you and such users. You agree that Nom Nom will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any Site user, we are under no obligation to become involved.

Rights in User Content

We do not claim any ownership interest in your User Content. However, by uploading, posting or submitting User Content to the Sites (including but not limited to Nom Nom Social) or to our pages or feeds on third party social media platforms (e.g., Nom Nom’s Facebook page, Instagram page, or Twitter feed), you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and publicly display your User Content, in whole or in part, and your name, likeness, voice, and persona in any manner or media and for any purpose whatsoever at our sole discretion, including, without limitation, for publicity, promotional, advertising, trade, business, illustration, artistic, and other commercial and noncommercial purposes.

By uploading, posting or submitting User Content to the Sites or through our pages or feeds on third party social media platforms, you represent and warrant that (a) such User Content is nonconfidential; (b) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content or you otherwise have all necessary rights to post such User Content; (c) you authorize us to use such User Content for the purposes described in these Terms; (d) the User Content is accurate and not misleading or harmful in any manner; and (e) the User Content, and your use and posting thereof, does not and will not violate these Terms or any applicable law, rule, regulation, or third party right.

Feedback

Separate and apart from User Content, you can submit questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, original or creative materials, or other information about Nom Nom, the Sites, or the Products (collectively, “Feedback”). Feedback is nonconfidential and shall become our sole property. We shall own exclusive rights, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights, in and to such Feedback and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of this Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. In the event all such rights and title do not vest in us immediately, you hereby grant to us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and publicly display all such Feedback.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Nom Nom, and our respective past, present, and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equityholders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (individually and collectively, the “Nom Nom Parties”), from and against all actual or alleged Nom Nom Party or third party claims, damages, awards, judgments, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, interest, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, court costs, costs of settlement, and costs of pursuing indemnification and insurance), of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, or suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), including, but not limited to, damages to property or personal injury, that are caused by, arise out of or are related to (a) your use or misuse of the Sites, Content, or Products including, but not limited to, microbiome Products and data, human consumption of Products designed for pets, misuse of the Product, or feeding in violation of recommendations; (b) any User Content you create, post, share, or store on or through the Sites or our pages or feeds on third party social media platforms; (c) any Feedback you provide; (d) your violation of these Terms; (e) your violation of the rights of another; and (f) any third party’s use or misuse of the Sites or Products provided to you. You agree to promptly notify us of any third party Claims and cooperate with the Nom Nom Parties in defending such Claims. You further agree that the Nom Nom Parties shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between us.

THE SITES MAY CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN EVERY LOCATION.

ALL PRODUCTS AND THE SITES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NOM NOM DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS TO THE SITES, CONTENT AND PRODUCTS, ANY WARRANTIES THAT ARISE FROM TRADE USAGE OR CUSTOM, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE SITES OR PRODUCTS WILL BE FREE AND CLEAR FROM ANY ADVERSE LIEN OR SECURITY INTERESTS.

Limitation of Liability; Release

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NOM NOM OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOM NOM PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR DATA, LOSS OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OF ASSETS OR SECURITIES, OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE ACCESS OR USE OF THE SITES OR CONTENT OR THE ORDER, RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM RELIANCE BY ANY USER ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US, OR FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETIONS OF FILES OR EMAILS, ERRORS, DEFECTS, BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OUR RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SYSTEMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NOM NOM AND THE OTHER NOM NOM PARTIES (JOINTLY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE ORDER, RECEIPT, OR USE OF PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM US EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID FOR SUCH PRODUCTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

Modifications to the Sites and Products

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites (or any features or parts thereof) or the provision of the Products at any time and without liability.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

18.1. Binding Arbitration

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands, or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 10 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and we agree (a) to waive your and our respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Sites, Content, or Products, resolved in a court; and (b) to waive your and our respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and we agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

18.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions

You and we agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sites, Content, or Products is personal to you and us and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. You and we agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and we agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

18.3. Federal Arbitration Act

You and we agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 18 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

18.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and we agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to us shall be sent by email to [email protected]. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Nom Nom account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted; (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically in accordance with Section 3 and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number, and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute; (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and we cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or we may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 18, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 18.1, file a claim in court.

18.5. Process

Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 10 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and we agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or us within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and we will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and we agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in the State of California, County of San Francisco; (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference; and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of San Francisco, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

18.6. Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable; and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

18.7. Rules of JAMS

The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS; or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

18.8. Severability

If any term, clause, or provision of this Section 18 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses, and provisions of this Section 18 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 18.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

18.9. Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 18 by emailing us at [email protected]. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 19.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, your access to and use of the Sites, and your order, receipt and use of the Products shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Delaware, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware, and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle.

Termination

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites and to order, receive, and use the Products, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Severability

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.

Survival

The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your account: all defined terms and Sections 1, 3, 4, 5 (first paragraph only), 6, 7, 8 (second paragraph only), 9 through 23.

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Nom Nom relating to your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt, and use of Products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written consent. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
