Purchase Policy
This Purchase Policy is part of our Terms of Use Agreement, and any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Purchase Policy will have the same meaning as in our Terms of Use Agreement. If you would like to purchase any merchandise or products offered by Herobiotics on any of the Sites (collectively, "Products"), your purchase will be governed by the terms of this Purchase Policy. You acknowledge that all Products purchased under this Purchase Policy on the Sites are intended for personal non-commercial use only and will not be re-sold or exported.
- Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution & Waiver of Class, Consolidated and Representative Actions
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS SECTION OF THE AGREEEMENT CAREFULLY.
This Section I of the Purchase Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable federal laws.
All disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or related to your purchase, the product(s), or product consumption will be resolved through binding arbitration, rather than in court in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. . ARBITRATION OF A DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
You understand and agree that you are waiving your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, either party must send a letter requesting an arbitration and describing the claim to the other party. To begin an arbitration proceeding against Herobiotics, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent California Corporate Agents, Inc. 2108 N. St. Ste. C Sacramento, CA, 95816. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Herobiotics will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.We each agree that any arbitrator hearing a claim may not: (i) combine more than one individual’s claim or claims into a single case; (ii) order, require, participate in or facilitate production of class-wide contact information or notification of others of potential claims; or (iii) arbitrate any form of a class, collective, or representative proceeding. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration.WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
