Product Information
We endeavor to ensure that the Product descriptions, photographs, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, availability, and other information on the Site are accurate and up-to-date. However, we do not warrant that all such information is error-free, complete, or current. For example, there might be occasions where Product descriptions are incomplete, colors on your screen may not exactly match the actual Product, or pricing errors may occur. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to correct any of the errors, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information in the Services or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). No specified update or refresh date applied on the Services or any related website should be taken to indicate that all information in the Services or on any related website has been modified or updated.
All Products displayed on our Site are subject to availability. We cannot guarantee that an item will be in stock until your order is accepted and shipped. We reserve the right to discontinue any Product or offer at any time. Certain Products or special offers may be available exclusively online through the Site (and not in any physical stores) and are subject to any limits described. If we discover an error in pricing or any Product information, we reserve the right to correct it. We may refuse or cancel any orders placed for a Product listed at an incorrect price or with erroneous details, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your payment processed. If your payment has already been charged for the purchase and we cancel the order, we will issue a credit to your original payment method in the amount of the charge.
-
Terms of Sale
By purchasing a Product through the Services (a “Transaction”), you agree to the terms set forth below (the “Terms of Sale”).
-
Eligibility. To complete your purchase, you must have a valid billing and shipping address within a country that can be selected as part of the checkout process on the Site (the “Territory”). We make no promise that the Products available on the Site are appropriate, lawful, or available for use in locations outside the Territory.
-
Restrictions. You may only purchase Products for personal use by either yourself or your intended recipient of the Products. The Products are not authorized for resale. We may place a limit on the quantities that may be purchased per order, per account, per payment card, per person, or per household. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to refuse service to any customer or reject any order at any time and refund any money you have paid for such order.
-
Price. Prices shown on the Site exclude all taxes or charges for shipping and handling. Taxes and shipping and handling costs will be added to the amount of your purchase and itemized on the checkout page. You will have an opportunity to review taxes and delivery costs before you confirm your purchase. All prices on the Site are subject to change at any time without notice. If we do not collect taxes on merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction in which we do not have substantial nexus, then you will be liable to the appropriate taxing authority for any sales taxes relating to your purchase from the Site.
-
Product Subscriptions. Certain Products made available through our Services on the Site (including the Fount Society Products), may have the option of being purchased with a subscription term (“Product Subscription”). BY OPTING TO ENROLL IN THE PRODUCT SUBSCRIPTION, UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE A CHARGE THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL OR YOU DO NOT WANT TO AUTO RENEW, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AT THE FREQUENCY (E.G., 2-MONTHS, 3-MONTHS, ETC.) YOU SELECT AT TIME OF THE INITIAL PURCHASE, AND YOU AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO CHARGE YOUR ACCOUNT (WITHOUT ADDITIONAL NOTICE TO YOU UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) USING ANY ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU AND SHIP YOU THE SUBSCRIBED PRODUCT. You may cancel or modify your Product Subscription at any time under the manage subscription section of your Account or by emailing us at [[email protected]].
-
Payment. If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date, your billing address, and your shipping information, to us or our Third-Party Payment Processors. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a Transaction. You authorize us to charge your payment method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges you are responsible for under these Terms.
-
Sales Tax. In the United States, we are required to collect applicable state and local sales tax on orders shipped to certain states. Taxes apply to most merchandise, but some states exclude certain items. Some taxing authorities also require the taxable amount to include any shipping and handling charges, while others charge sales tax only on merchandise. We are required to follow the rules of each state. Your final order total will include the applicable and appropriate state and local taxes.
-
Order Confirmation; Acceptance. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address, payment method, and other details of your order. Your order will be considered accepted when your payment is processed and we send you a confirmation email with an order confirmation number. Payment must be received by us before we accept an order.
-
Shipping; Delivery. We will add applicable shipping and handling fees to your orders. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship Products within a reasonable time after receipt of your properly completed order. Although we may provide delivery or shipment timeframes or dates, you understand that these represent our good faith estimates and may be subject to change and are dependent on the carrier. You further understand that Product availability may be limited, and particular Products may not be available for immediate delivery, in which case the Products will be delivered when they become available. If your order is delayed (either from the date specified at the time of the order or, if no date was specified, beyond 30 days from the date of your order), we will use reasonable, good faith efforts to contact you. If we cannot contact you, or you no longer wish to receive the item, we will cancel the order and promptly refund the amount tendered within seven (7) business days if the purchase was made using a third-party credit card. We will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense related to any delay in shipment or delivery. All Products purchased from the Site are delivered to the shipment carriers. The risk of loss and title for such items passes to you upon our delivery to the carrier. We may reject orders where the stated delivery address is outside of the United States, or if processed, you may be responsible for the payment of excise, tariff, or other fees as mandated by the applicable jurisdiction.
-
Order Delays; Cancellation. We reserve the right to delay, refuse, or cancel any order before delivery. For example, if there are errors on the Site or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Product or pricing information or Product availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain Product may be delayed. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.
-
International Orders. We do not directly sell certain Products in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, as these Products may not be approved for sale in other jurisdictions. While we may choose to accept orders for Products from customers residing in countries outside of the United States, the acceptance of these orders and the sale of such Products are subject to the following conditions:
-
You agree that the purchase is made FOB Origin/Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) – i.e., title and risk pass to you in the United States when we deliver the Products to the international carrier. You will be the Importer of Record for the products into your country.
-
You are responsible for and agree to pay all applicable customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, and other fees imposed by the destination country. We are not responsible for any such charges. If we pre-pay any import taxes or duties on your behalf, you agree to reimburse us or such amounts may be billed to you.
-
You agree to comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country for the import and use of the Products. Our Products are designed to meet U.S. standards; we make no representation that they are appropriate or lawful to use outside the U.S. You assume responsibility for determining and meeting any regulatory requirements in your country.
-
International shipments may be subject to inspection by customs authorities. Delivery may be delayed due to customs processing, which is beyond our control. We have no liability for any customs or import-related delays.
-
If you refuse delivery of a shipment because of high import fees or any other reason, you will remain responsible for the shipping charges and any return shipping fees. We may deduct such fees from any refund, or invoice you separately.
Please note that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) do not apply to these Terms or any transactions on our Site. We explicitly opt out of their application.
-
Returns.

Please review our Return Policy posted on the Site prior to making any purchases.

We will happily send a replacement if a Fount Society Product arrives broken or damaged. A photograph of the damage/defect is required and must be reported within 48 hours of receiving your order. Regular wear is normal with use and is not covered by our return or exchange policy. Defects that inhibit the use of the Product will be subject to replacement.
-
Product Warranty. Please visit our Warranty page for details on the warranties we provide on our Products and to submit a warranty claim.
-
Replacement Warranty. The Company offers a limited replacement warranty for Products with defects in materials and workmanship. If a claim is in excess of three, you will need to return the Products to us for a refund of the purchase price. The replacement items that we provide are subject to these Terms. This replacement warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, normal wear and tear, accident, improper handling, or unauthorized repair. Failure to return previous replacements will void a refund being provided. This replacement warranty is only for orders placed on the Site.

We may change the prices charged for the Cozy Earth Membership at any time by posting updated pricing through the Services. If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your Cozy Earth Membership fee, you must provide us with a new eligible payment method promptly, or your Cozy Earth Membership will be canceled. If you provide us with a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your new Cozy Earth Membership period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.
-
Termination. In addition to the Company’s termination right set forth in these Terms, we may terminate your Cozy Earth Membership at our discretion. If we do so, we will give you a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining in your Cozy Earth Membership subscription.

Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.

Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION CAREFULLY (SUBSECTIONS (A) THOUGH (J) BELOW WILL BE REFERENCED HEREIN AS THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION OR “SECTION 21”) BECAUSE IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND A CONTRACTUAL LIMITATIONS PERIOD.
THE PARTIES TO THESE TERMS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY PARTY’S CLAIMS.
THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY (EACH, A “PARTY;” TOGETHER, THE “PARTIES”), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, THAT EITHER PARTY WISHES TO SEEK LEGAL RECOURSE FOR AND THAT ARISES FROM OR RELATES TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY PRIVACY OR DATA-SECURITY CLAIMS OR CLAIMS RELATED TO THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, OR SCOPE OF THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT OR ANY PORTION OF IT (EACH, A “CLAIM”), INCLUDING:
-
CLAIMS THAT AROSE BEFORE THIS OR ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT;
-
CLAIMS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO PRE-EXISTING CLASS ACTION LITIGATION FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE A PUTATIVE CLASS MEMBER; AND
-
CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.
Notwithstanding the provisions herein, if you in any manner violated the Company’s intellectual property rights, we may bring suit in any state or federal court in the State of Utah. Additionally, notwithstanding the provisions herein, either you or the Company may bring a Claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply. The route to small claims court will only be the result of a direct filing by you or the Company. As set forth below, a Claim commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IN SECTION 21(i) IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
-
Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims. Before filing any lawsuit relating to a Claim, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to Company by email at [email protected] OR certified or registered mail with proof of receipt to us at 3401 North Thanksgiving Way, Suite 300, Lehi, UT 84043 USA, Attn: Legal Department, within the applicable statute of limitations. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2) your address; (3) your telephone numbers; (4) your email address; (5) information sufficient for Company to identify any transaction and/or product at issue (e.g., your order number, order confirmation communication, SKU number, etc.); and (6) a detailed description of your Claim, the nature and basis of your Claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it. You must personally sign this Notice.
Likewise, Company agrees that if we have a dispute with you, we will first send a detailed Notice to your e-mail address on file with us. Company’s Notice will likewise set forth (1) information sufficient for you to identify any transaction at issue; and (2) a detailed description of our dispute, the nature and basis of our claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief we are seeking with a calculation for it.
You and Company agree to negotiate in good faith, for a period of at least 60 days from the date of the Notice, in an effort to swiftly resolve it to your satisfaction without the need for a formal proceeding. Should the Company request a telephone conference with you in an effort to resolve your claim as part of this informal process, you agree to personally participate (with your counsel if you are represented). Compliance with and completion of this Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims process is a condition precedent to filing any lawsuit or serving an arbitration demand. You and Company agree that any action commenced in court or arbitration without first exhausting the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims process will be defective and subject to dismissal at the cost of the Party found to have prematurely commenced the action. The statute of limitations and any filing deadlines will be tolled while the Parties engage in this process. A court will have the authority to enjoin the filing of any lawsuit concerning a Claim without first providing a Notice or other participating in good faith in this Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims process.
-
Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, INCLUDING ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND, AND INCLUDING ANY TYPE OF LAWSUIT FILED IN COURT TO THE EXTENT THAT A DISPUTE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 21(c) BELOW OR THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON. Additionally, you agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else against Company, nor will you seek to become a class representative. You further agree that in any action you initiate against the Company, any relief you seek will be confined to relief on your own behalf.
Except as the Terms otherwise provide and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Company acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.
-
Arbitration Agreement. You and Company agree that CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. This requirement, and the terms set forth in subsections (d) and (e), will collectively be referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.”
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Arbitration Agreement. By agreeing to arbitration, you and the Company are not limiting in any way either of our statutory or common law rights or potential remedies to which either of us would be entitled to if our Claim were instead being heard in a court.
ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY NATIONAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION (“NAM”) AND GOVERNED BY NAM’S APPLICABLE RULES (including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, as applicable) ("NAM Rules"), as modified by these Terms. You may obtain a demand form to initiate arbitration as set forth in the NAM Rules available online at www.NAMADR.com, by emailing NAM at [email protected], or by requesting them in writing at the Notice address; this demand form, along with a certification under penalty of perjury of compliance with the Mandatory Informal Pre-Suit Resolution process, must both be personally signed by the Party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented) and a copy must also be sent to Company. You and Company agree that any counsel representing a Party in arbitration must comply with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), and that the arbitrator may impose any sanctions against all appropriate represented Parties and counsel if he or she determines a Claim is frivolous.
The arbitration will occur through the submission of documents to one arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary, the hearing will be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference. If the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will take place in the United States county where you live or work, or such other location agreed upon by both Parties. You and Company will select an arbitrator or hearing officer(s) after commencement of the action in accordance with NAM’s Rules.
If you and the Company cannot submit a joint pre-hearing and hearing schedule, each Party will submit their own schedule to NAM. You and the Company will submit a joint pre-hearing and hearing schedule to the hearing officer(s) within the earlier date of (a) 7 days prior to the hearing or (b) 14 days following the arbitrator’s appointment. If only one schedule is submitted, that schedule will be delivered to the arbitrator for his or her consideration. The arbitrator may adopt the schedule submitted by one Party in the absence of a competing or joint schedule.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the NAM Rules and applicable fee sheet, as determined by NAM. All issues relating in any way to arbitration—including the applicability, scope, and enforceability of the arbitration provisions of this Dispute Resolution section—are for the arbitrator to decide. The arbitrator may consider but will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers. At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s decision on all procedural and substantive issues is binding only between you and the Company and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different Party. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied will not be entered in any court.
You and Company will each be limited to a maximum of one (1) fact witness deposition per side, unless we agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that more depositions are warranted based on the totality of circumstances (including the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of Parties and the diversity of their interests, and whether any or all of the Claims appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery). Document requests will be limited to documents that are directly relevant to the matter(s) in dispute or to its outcome; will be reasonably restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; will not include broad phraseology such as "all documents directly or indirectly related to"; and will not be encumbered with extensive "definitions" or "instructions." The arbitrator may edit or limit the number of document requests based on the totality of circumstances, including the factors listed above.
In any arbitration, the defending Party may make a written settlement offer at any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the dispositive motion being granted. Settlement offers may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the Claim. If the award is issued in the defending Party's favor, or in the other Party's favor but is less than the defending Party's settlement offer, then the other Party must pay the defending Party's costs incurred after the offer was made, including any attorney's fees. If any applicable statute or case law prohibits the shifting of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this provision will serve to cease the accumulation of any costs to which the Party bringing the Claim may be entitled for the cause of action under which it is suing.
-
Special Procedures for Mass Filings. To the extent an arbitration falls within NAM’s definition of a mass filing, you and Company agree to the procedures set forth below and in NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules," available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms). Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing deadlines will be tolled beginning when the Mandatory Informal Pre-Suit Resolution process is initiated, until the Claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.
Counsel for each side will select 15 Claims (30 Claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations will be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless you and Company agree otherwise in writing. No administrative fees will be assessed in connection with any remaining Claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, you and Company will promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Claims with a retired federal or state court judge, unless the Parties agree otherwise.
If the remaining Claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the Parties will each select an additional 15 Claims per side (30 Claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the Parties agreed to in writing. This process will continue, consistent with this staged process set forth above in this subsection, by administering and moving forward a maximum of 30 individual arbitration proceedings at a time until the Parties are able to resolve all of the Claims, either through settlement or arbitration.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS HEREIN, IN MASS FILINGS CONSISTING OF MORE THAN 500 CLAIMS TOTAL, EITHER PARTY MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AND ELECT TO HAVE THE CLAIMS HEARD IN COURT.
A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enforce this entire Dispute Resolution section and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the allocation of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your Claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your Claim, then your Claim will proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms.
-
Exceptions. Notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement to resolve all Claims through arbitration (i) either you or Company may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (ii) either you or Company may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or confidential information. The route to small claims court will only be the result of a direct filing by you or the Company. As set forth above, a Claim commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules. Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of the claiming Party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.
-
Time Limits. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY CLAIM MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THAT CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. For purposes of this provision, a Claim is considered commenced at the time the Notice (defined above in subsection (a) is sent. To the extent a Claim is filed in court or arbitration without first providing such Notice (which would be contrary to these Terms, as set forth above), the Claim is deemed commenced at the time of such filing.
-
Frivolous or Improper Claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a claimant must pay all costs incurred by the responding Party, including any attorney fees, related to a Claim if an arbitrator determines that (i) the Claim was frivolous or (ii) the Claim was filed in arbitration for any improper purpose, such as to harass the defending Party, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution.
-
Confidentiality. If you or Company submits a Claim to arbitration, you and Company agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of any discovery in the arbitration. You and Company agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
-
Opting Out of Arbitration. Within thirty (30) days of agreeing to these Terms, you may opt out of the present version of the Arbitration Agreement by sending your personally signed, written notice to the following address: 3401 North Thanksgiving Way, Suite 300, Lehi, UT 84043 USA, Attn: Legal Department. Such written notice does not constitute an opt-out of any previous versions of the Arbitration Agreement, or the Class Action Waiver that you may have agreed to, which would continue to govern your claims. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 21.
-
Severability. If any portion of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 21 or the Parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 21; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis as a result, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with these Terms, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 21 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 21 will be enforceable.
-
Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of the State of Utah and the United States, respectively, sitting in Lehi, Utah. You and the Company waive any objection to the venue in any such courts.
-
Export Control
You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
-
General Terms
-
Subject to Section 21(d), if any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
-
Any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination (including, for example, any provisions regarding indemnification and limitation of our liability) will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms or your access to or use of the Services.
-
These Terms set out the entire agreement between us relating to its subject matter and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us. You may not assign, transfer, or sub-license these Terms except with the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may assign these terms at any time without your consent, including in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets. These Terms provide only for the use of the Services. These Terms will not be construed as a teaming, joint venture, or other such arrangement, unless the parties expressly and explicitly execute an agreement to that effect.
-
No waiver by either party of any right, obligation, breach, or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver unless set forth in writing by such waiving party. No waiver of any right, obligation, breach, or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
-
Any heading, caption, or section title contained in these Terms is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof. All uses of the term “including” will be interpreted to mean “including, but not limited to.”
