APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

These terms of use and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these terms of use, then you and Element Six agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, CA for the purpose of litigating any dispute.

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

a. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Element Six in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Element Six agree that every dispute arising in connection with these terms of use will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these terms of use, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these terms of use. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND ELEMENT SIX ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

b. Exceptions.Despite the provisions of subsection (a), we both agree that nothing in these terms of use will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

 

c. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Element Six will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, AAA Rules) of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), as modified by these terms of use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org (or any replacement site), by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 (or at its main number), or by contacting Element Six.

 

d. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (Notice). Element Six's address for Notice is: Element Six Technologies US Corporation, 3901 Burton Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (Demand). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Element Six may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Element Six must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Element Six will pay you the highest of the following: (x) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (y) the last written settlement amount offered by Element Six in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (z) $1,000.

 

e. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these terms of use, Element Six will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, CA, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Element Six for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

 

f. No Class Actions. YOU AND ELEMENT SIX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Element Six agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

g. Modifications. If Element Six makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Element Six's address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Element Six's address for Notice, in which case your account with Element Six will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.

 

h. Enforceability. If subsection (f) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the preceding section will govern any action arising out of or related to these terms of use.

2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US 

2.1 By placing an order through our site, you represent and warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and are at least 18 years old. In addition, if you are buying any Products on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms and conditions.

 

2.2 The Buyer shall place an order to purchase a Product by placing an order on the website. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

 

2.3 After placing an order, you will receive an "Order Confirmation" e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and containing details of the order made. You are required to promptly notify us of any inaccuracy or error in the terms of any Order Confirmation. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us in respect of your purchase of a Product from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (this constitutes the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between you and us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. This Contract incorporates these terms and conditions and is between you and us and no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

 

2.4 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

 

2.6 You may not cancel your order if it has already been accepted by the Seller except with the agreement in writing of the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any Order cancelled in accordance with this clause, Buyer shall be responsiable and liable for, and Seller may invoice the Buyer for, all and any costs incurred by Seller by respect of that Order.

The Products may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.

 

3.4 Where the Products are to be delivered in installments, each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these terms and conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat any other Contract as cancelled.

6. PRICE AND PAYMENT

6.1 Except as described in clause 6.3 below in relation to pricing errors, the price of the Products shall be the Seller's quoted price on our site and displayed prior to the placing of the Buyer's order, in addition to the cost of shipping (including any additional insurance costs, customs duties, clearance charges or equivalent duties), any VAT or taxes applicable, and the cost of using the relevant means of payment. This information shall also be quoted on the Dispatch Confirmation accepting the Buyer's order.

Please note the rules on international deliveries set out in clause 5 above.

 

6.2 The prices on our site are liable to change at any time but, save as set out in clause 6.3, changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

 

6.3 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We are not responsible for pricing or other errors in any of our offers. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, if we notice that a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. However, we are under no obligation to provide the Products to you at any incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price quoted to you, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. If you have already paid for any rejected order, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

 

6.4 Payment for all Products must be in United States Dollars and made by credit card through our site. Your credit card will be charged upon dispatch of the Products.

 

7. RISK AND TITLE

7.1 Risk of damage to, or loss of, the Products shall remain with the Seller until they have been physically delivered to the relevant courier.

 

7.2 Despite delivery having taken place and risk in the Products having passed, and despite any other provision of these terms and conditions, the title in the Products shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cleared funds payment in full of all amounts owed for the Products. Until such time as the title in the Products passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Products as the Seller's fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the Products separate from the goods of the Buyer and third parties, properly stored, protected, insured and identified on the Buyer's property, but shall be entitled to use the Products as normal. The Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Seller or its representatives to enter upon the Buyer's premises where any such Products are stored, or are thought to be stored, for the purpose of repossessing them and, if the Seller so chooses, subsequently reselling them.

 

8. ALL SALES FINAL; NO WARRANTIES; OUR LIABILITY

8.1 THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. YOU SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO REJECT OR RETURN THE PRODUCTS. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PRODUCTS PROVE DEFECTIVE FOLLOWING THEIR PURCHASE, YOU AND NOT THE SELLER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY SUCH DEFECTS.

 

8.2 ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE). IN PARTICULAR, THE SELLER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES. THE SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES ARISING FROM ANY DELAY IN DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS HOWSOEVER CAUSED OR FROM ANY BUYER ACT OR OMISSION RESULTING FROM ANY ADVICE OR RECOMMENDATION BY THE SELLER. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

8.3 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE BUYER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BY REASON OF ANY REPRESENTATION, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER TERM, OR ANY DUTY AT COMMON LAW, OR UNDER THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE CONTRACT) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSSES OR DAMAGES (WHETHER FOR LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY THE SELLER OR CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE SELLER, ITS EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OR OTHERWISE, WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUPPLY OF THE PRODUCTS OR THEIR USE OR RESALE BY THE BUYER OR ITS CUSTOMERS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN CLAUSE 8.4.

12. WAIVER 

12.1 If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

 

12.2 A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

 

12.3 No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with clause 10 above.

 

13. SEVERABILITY

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be deemed not to form part of these terms and conditions or Contract, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms, conditions and provisions will continue unaffected.

 

14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

14.1 These terms and conditions and any Dispatch Confirmation represent the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the subject matter of any Contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between you and us, whether oral or in writing, relating to such subject matter. We recommend that you read them carefully to protect your own interests.

 

14.2 You and we each acknowledge that, in entering into a Contract, neither you nor we have relied on any representation, undertaking, warranty or promise given by the other or implied from anything said or written in negotiations between you and us prior to such Contract except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions. Our employees and agents are not authorized to make any representation or warranty with respect to the Products.

 

14.3 We intend to rely upon these terms and conditions and any Dispatch Confirmation in relation to the subject matter of any Contract.

 

15. OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

15.1 We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time, including to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities. These terms and conditions were most recently updated July 2015.

 

15.2 You will be bound by the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order Products from us.

 

15.3 If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please refrain from ordering any of our Products.

 

16. LAW AND JURISDICTION

16.1 These terms and conditions and any Contracts for the purchase of Products through our site will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any Contract or the parties' relationship.

 

16.2 If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these terms and conditions or any Contract, you and we both agree that any dispute arising from, or related to, any Product, these terms and conditions and/or any Contracts shall be dealt with exclusively by the state courts and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, CA.

 

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION 

17.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and us in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and we agree that every dispute arising in connection with these terms and conditions and any Contract will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these terms and conditions or of any Contract, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these terms and conditions or any Contract. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

17.2 Exceptions. Despite the provisions of clause 17.1, we both agree that nothing in these terms and conditions will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

 

17.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and us will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these terms and conditions, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org (or any replacement site), by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 (or at its main or any replacement number), or by contacting us.

 

17.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Our address for Notice is: Element Six Technologies US Corporation, 3901 Burton Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, we will pay you the highest of the following: (x) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (y) the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (z) $1,000.

 

17.5 Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these terms and conditions, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, CA, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

 

17.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

17.7 Modifications. If we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to our address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.

 

17.8 Enforceability. If clause 17.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in clause 16 will govern any action arising out of or related to these terms and conditions or any Contract.
