  1. Payments and Refunds

 

  1. Methods of Payment

A user may pay via credit card or any other method we may accept as payment. In addition to paying the published price, you are responsible for paying all applicable taxes in connection with your purchase, which will be disclosed to you prior to completing your transaction.

 

If you make a purchase from us, that order will be accepted once we receive confirmation of payment in full. Please note that if you subscribe to our Service through an Apple iTunes or another authorized platform, your order will be governed by the terms and privacy policy that govern such platform, including their order cancellation provisions.

 

  1. Subscription Renewals

In order to provide continuous service, Lady Godiva’s automatically renews all paid subscriptions (excluding credits unless you have expressly opted-in) for the Services on the date such subscriptions expire unless notified by you before the renewal date Lady Godiva’s will disclose renewal periods to you prior to you completing your purchase and in your purchase confirmation. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that your account will be subject to the above-described automatic renewals. In all cases, if you do not wish your account to renew automatically, please follow the directions set out under “Cancellations and Refund” immediately below.

 

  1. Cancellations and Refunds

Some jurisdictions offer consumers a cooling off period with respect to purchases made online. In an effort to provide all users similar rights of cancellation Lady Godiva’s offers all users the right to cancel, for any reason, any purchase made through the Platform within fourteen (14) days of purchase (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Cancellation Period”) and receive a pro-rated refund applied back to the method of payment used to make the purchase.

 

If you request that we start providing access to credits purchased or other Services during the Cancellation Period, you will lose your right to cancel once you have fully used such credits or other Services. Where any payment has been made, you are liable for the credits or the paid-for Services used prior to cancellation but can receive a pro-rated refund applied back to the method of payment used to make the purchase.

 

You may exercise this right by notifying us of your decision to cancel your purchase either via the Contact Us Form sending us the cancellation form set out at the end of these Terms or by email to support@ladygodivastulsa.com. To the extent that the laws of your jurisdiction of residence provide a longer cooling off period, you will be entitled to cancel during such period in accordance with the laws of your jurisdiction of residence.

 

Prorated refunds will be calculated as follows:

 

  1. For credit purchases: We will refund you for the purchase of your credit package if we have received your cancellation notice within the Cancellation Period based on the following formula:

 

[price paid for credits] – [[number of credits used] x [price paid for credits / number of credits purchased]]

 

Please note that you do not have the right to cancel or receive any refund if, at or before you informed us of your decision to cancel your contract for purchase within the Cancellation Period, you have used all credits you purchased on that occasion.

 

  1. For subscription purchases: We will refund you for the purchase of a subscription if we have received your cancellation notice within the Cancellation Period based on the following formula:

 

[price paid for initial subscription term] – [[number of days (complete or partial) which elapsed from the purchase date] x [price paid for initial subscription term / number of days in the initial subscription term]]

 

AFTER THE EXPIRIATION OF THE CANCELLATION PERIOD OR ONCE YOU HAVE CEASED TO HAVE YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR PURCHASES, INCLUDING YOUR PURCHASE OF CREDITS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS, ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT WHERE WE HAVE BREACHED THESE TERMS IN WHICH CASE YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE OR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION.

 

  1. Dispute Resolution (US Only)

 

Please read this carefully if you are a resident of the United States of America. It affects your rights.

 

  1. Scope

For US residents, all disputes, controversies, causes of action (in tort, contract, by statute or otherwise), including, without limitation, Disputes arising from or relating to this arbitration provision (including the interpretation, breach, termination and invalidity thereof) or the relationship that results from the Terms (collectively, “ Disputes”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration by a single independent and impartial arbitrator under the applicable Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA”).

 

Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, and therefore the parties waive any right that you or Lady Godiva’s might otherwise have had to a jury trial or the opportunity to litigate any claims in court before either a judge or jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lady Godiva’s reserves the right to pursue the protection of its intellectual property rights and confidential information and to stop other illegal activities through immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief at any time and without first resorting to informal procedures or arbitration, through any courts of competent jurisdiction.

 

  1. Venue

The exclusive venue for the arbitration shall be Tulsa, Oklahoma. The parties will agree on a reasonable location, in the event that Oklahoma is an inappropriate forum. The parties will endeavor to minimize the need for long distance travel through use of telephonic communications and submission of documents as permitted under the applicable rules for Expedited Procedures. The official language of the arbitration shall be English.

 

  1. Small Claims

Both parties retain the right to file any claim that is not aggregated with the claim of any other persons and whose amount in controversy is properly within the jurisdiction of a court which is limited to adjudicated small claims.

 

  1. Class and Consolidated Claims Waiver

To the extent permitted under applicable law, it is agreed that neither party shall have the right to participate as a class representative or class member with respect to any Disputes subject to arbitration under the Terms or any Dispute between the parties. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and us specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

 

  1. Limit of Liability

Liability for both parties is limited to $1,000 in damages. Parties waive, and the Arbitrator shall not be empowered to grant, indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages and/or damages or relief in excess of those permitted by the Terms unless the statute under which they are suing provides otherwise. An arbitration award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcement.

 

  1. Notice of Claims, Timing of Disputes and Nature of Award

Any Dispute shall be filed within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose or occurred. The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to any Dispute. Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a claim pursuant to the applicable AAA Rules. The arbitration shall be completed, barring extraordinary circumstances within ninety (90) days of the filing of the claim. The parties may grant reasonable continuance upon good cause shown. The Award shall be reasoned and shall be rendered within thirty (30) days of closure of the arbitration proceedings.

 

  1. Discovery and Hearing Procedures

All parties have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or spokesperson of their own choosing. Discovery shall be expeditiously completed within three (3) months of the time the parties are at issue. Each party shall produce relevant non-privileged documents requested by the other party. Discovery procedures available in court actions do not apply. The arbitrator shall grant oral and/or written discovery to preserve evidence or upon a showing of need. All discovery disputes shall be promptly submitted to and promptly resolved by the arbitrator. The parties may elect to use any of the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures or Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the AAA.

 

  1. Emergency and Provisional Remedies

Any party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional, injunctive, emergency or equitable relief (but not monetary relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction if, in its sole judgment, such relief is necessary to preserve the status quo or to prevent irreparable harm. The parties shall, despite seeking relief under this section, participate in good faith in the arbitration.

 

  1. Confidentiality

The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. The arbitration will not be confidential unless you request that it remain confidential.

 

  1. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs

Lady Godiva’s will advance all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, without limitation, costs association with attorneys or expert witnesses. The handling of fee arrangements and the payment of fees should be conducted by the Independent ADR Institution. If the arbitration is decided in your favor, you will not be required to reimburse Lady Godiva’s for any of the fees and costs it advanced. If the arbitration is decided in Lady Godiva’s favor, you shall reimburse Lady Godiva’s for its arbitration fees and costs, but only to the extent awardable in a judicial proceeding and permitted under the AAA.

 

  1. Waiver of Jury Trial

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under these Arbitration terms. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Lady Godiva’s in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND LADY GODIVA’S WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
