VENDORS OF THE THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WHICH MAY BE LINKED ON THE PROPERTIES FROM TIME TO TIME ARE NOT AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES OF CONSCIOUS HOME. CONSCIOUS HOME IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE ACTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, BREACHES OR NEGLIGENCE OF ANY SUCH VENDORS OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURIES, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER DAMAGE OR EXPENSES RESULTING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM SUCH PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES.
EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF THESE TERMS OF USE BY YOU (SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, A COMMERCIAL USE OF THE PROPERTIES IN VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE), A VIOLATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OR WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE TO A SPECIFIC CONSUMER FOR A FEE WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY ITS OWN CONTRACTUAL TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU OR CONSCIOUS HOME AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, DATA, GOODWILL OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PROPERTIES, THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROPERTIES, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND/OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROPERTIES, OR FOR ANY CONTENT, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE PROPERTIES, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE PROPERTIES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF CONSCIOUS HOME AND/OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN STATES AND JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARE PROHIBITED, SUCH LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES OR WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE PROPERTIES. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF THESE TERMS OF USE BY YOU (SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, A COMMERCIAL USE OF THE PROPERTIES IN VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE), VIOLATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OR WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE TO A SPECIFIC CONSUMER FOR A FEE WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY ITS OWN CONTRACTUAL TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL YOUR OR OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY RELATED TO USE OF THE PROPERTIES OR $50 (WHICHEVER IS LESS).
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CONSCIOUS HOME AND/OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OR INJURY RESULTING FROM HACKING, TAMPERING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF THE PROPERTIES, YOUR DATA OR YOUR ACCOUNT OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES TO DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION THAT WE DEEM NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE, REGULATION, LEGAL PROCESS OR GOVERNMENTAL REQUEST. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS CONSCIOUS HOME AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION RELATING TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR TAKEN AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH DISCLOSURE. CONSCIOUS HOME MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE PROPERTIES IS APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE AT LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. ACCESS TO THE PROPERTIES FROM TERRITORIES WHERE SUCH SERVICES ARE ILLEGAL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. IF YOU ACCESS THE PROPERTIES FROM A LOCATION OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LOCAL AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.
24. Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute that may arise between you and Conscious Home shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law and the laws of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New Jersey or any other jurisdiction).
DISPUTES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OF USE AND YOUR USE OF THE PROPERTIES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BELOW. BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE HEREBY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING DISPUTES TO A COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 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. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE PROPERTIES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.
25. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
In the event of any dispute between you and us regarding these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Properties and/or any products or services purchased from the Properties, you and Conscious Home agree to first send the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement setting forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute by e-mail to [email protected]. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and Conscious Home will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that the notice of dispute is sent. If we are unable to resolve a dispute by negotiation, you agree that disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration rather than by a court, provided that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at [email protected] with “Arbitration Request” in the subject line. You may also contact us by mail at:
Conscious Home by BGD LLC
125 Paterson Avenue
Suite 2
Little Falls, NJ 07424
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. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION. You agree to arbitrate with Conscious Home only in your individual capacity and not as a representative or member of a class or in any consolidated or representative proceeding. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. For certain claims, like violations of these Terms or breaches of intellectual property covenants, we reserve the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. All arbitrations shall be initiated in Newark, New Jersey.
26. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Conscious Home of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition and any failure of Conscious Home to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.
27. Assignment
These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by you. We may assign our rights under these Terms without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
28. Admissibility
A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is the express wish to the parties that this agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English.
29. Entire Agreement
These Terms and the other agreements referred to herein constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Conscious Home with respect to the Properties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Properties.
If you have any questions or comments about these Terms, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
