11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Surviving Provisions. The provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions, shall so survive such termination until performed.

 

Governing Law. These Terms and Conditions and our business operations at large shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

 

Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and if such provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable nonetheless, the provision shall be deemed to be severable from the remainder of these Terms and Conditions and shall not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of these Terms and Conditions.

 

Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Offerings; provided, however, the Additional Materials may also include additional terms.

 

Equitable Relief. You agree that any breach of the terms will result in irreparable harm to the Shane Co Parties for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, the Shane Co Parties will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs or is threatened.

 

No Agency. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as creating a partnership, contract of employment, agency, joint venture or franchise relationship between you and Shane Co.

 

Waiver. Any express waiver of, as well as the failure and/or decision to not to enforce or promptly exercise any right under the terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement (both as to the term at issue and the entirety of the Terms and Conditions). Any waiver of the terms must be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, with such waiver functioning narrowly and as to only the expressly described waiver as the facts existed as the date it was granted. If any provision of the terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the terms will remain in full force and effect.

 

No Third-Party Beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement or as a result of your use of the Offerings.

A. General Terms

 

Pricing and Availability. All prices are shown in U.S. dollars except where otherwise noted; taxes, shipping and handling charges are additional. All items are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and/or discontinue Services (though, with respect to Services, such matters may also be governed by another agreement, such as a warranty or similar contract between us as described earlier in these Terms and Conditions) without notice, even if you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to change without notice and you agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the billing screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. Prices displayed on the Platforms or elsewhere may vary from those in the store or from store-advertised prices.

 

Merchandise availability on our website is not guaranteed as it may be low in stock. If merchandise is not available by the time your order processes, we will notify you of this via e-mail. You can always verify availability by emailing Customer Service at CustomerServiceRep@shaneco.com or by joining us in Live Help link in the upper left-hand corner of our homepage. Please note that while we have tried to accurately display the colors of products, the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor and may not be accurate.

 

Errors We attempt to be as accurate as possible and to eliminate errors on the Platforms and elsewhere our Products and Services or described; however, we do not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error—whether on the Sites, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, in delivering a product or service or otherwise—we reserve the right to correct such error and to revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.

 

Electronic Transactions; Records; Copies. You agree that all of your transactions involving the Services or Products, whether or not through the Platforms may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will still be governed by the remainder of these terms unless you enter into different terms provided by us. You are responsible to print or make an electronic copy of these Terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.

 

Termination of Access. We reserve the right at any time in our sole discretion, and without prior notice or liability to you or any third party, to modify, amend, restrict, suspend, deny or terminate your access or the access of all users to the Platforms or Services. Termination of a license to use the Platforms or Services does not constitute termination of these Terms and Conditions.

 

Merchandise Availability. Merchandise availability on our website is not guaranteed as it may be low in stock.

  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
  •  

  • Identification of the URL or other specific location that contains the material that you claim infringes your copyright described in Item 1 above. You must provide us with reasonably sufficient information to locate the allegedly infringing material;
  •  

  • An electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright;
  •  

  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law;
  •  

  • A statement by you that the information contained in your Notice is accurate and that you attest under the penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and
  •  

  • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

 

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, if you misrepresent that content uploaded by another Platforms user is infringing your copyright.

 

Upon receiving a proper Copyright Notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the alleged infringer of your claim. We will also advise the alleged infringer of the DMCA Counter Notice Procedure described below in Section B by which the alleged infringer may respond to your claim and request that we restore this material.

 

Counter Notice PROCEDURE. If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Platforms in error, you may submit a written Counter Notice to CustomerServiceRep@shaneco.com that includes the following:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  •  

  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court of Colorado (otherwise, all matters are governed by the arbitration provisions described elsewhere);
  •  

  • A statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notice or the party's agent;
  •  

  • Your name, address and telephone number;
  •  

  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  •  

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

 

If you send a valid, written Counter Notice meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material within 10 to 14 business days from the date we receive your Counter Notification, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the original Notice informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.

 

Please note that if you misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

 

Repeat Infringer Policy. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we will, at our discretion, disable and/or terminate access to the Platforms by users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. This determination will be based on the number of “strikes” against the user. A “strike” is counted against a user each time there is an adjudication by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that the user has engaged in copyright infringement of any kind in relation to the Platforms.

 

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we will, at our discretion, disable and/or terminate access to the Platforms by users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. This determination will be based on the number of “strikes” against the user. A “strike” is counted against a user each time there is an adjudication by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that the user has engaged in copyright infringement of any kind in relation to the Platforms.

 

Each adjudication counts as a separate strike. If an adjudication pertains to multiple instances of copyright infringement, it can count as multiple strikes. We have adopted a “three strikes and you’re out” policy under which a user who accumulates three strikes is considered a repeat infringer and may be subject to account termination.

 

Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that any content you upload to the Platforms does not violate the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, the intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights of any third party, and constitutes an original work of authorship by you.
