Limitation on Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL MELLOW OR ITS OFFICERS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PARENT COMPANY, DISTRIBUTORS OR THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THIS SITE OR VIA OTHER CHANNELS, BE LIABLE TO ANY USER OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE OR ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, INCLUDING USER CONTENT, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF MELLOW HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES.

 

You hereby acknowledge that the preceding limitation on liability will apply to all content, merchandise and services available through this website or other channels. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Regardless of the previous paragraph, if Mellow is found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the amount in dispute not to exceed the total amount that you paid to us in the twelve (12) months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, or (b) USD $500.

 

Legal Disputes

YOU AND MELLOW AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. Any dispute between you and Mellow, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, affiliates or parent company arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships that result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision will be settled by binding arbitration according to the Dispute Resolution Through Arbitration provisions on this website. Neither Mellow nor you are entitled to arbitrate any dispute as a representative, class or private attorney action, and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a representative, class or private attorney general basis. These terms of use will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California and any applicable United States laws (including federal arbitration law), without regard to conflicts of law principles.

 

Dispute Resolution Through Arbitration

This is a binding legal agreement between you and Mellow. Please read this section carefully. It may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

 

By purchasing and using the product, you accept and agree to resolve any disputes through individual arbitration as described below, unless you opt out of this dispute resolution procedure within 30 days of purchase as described below.

 

You and Mellow agree that, except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any disputes arising out of or relating to your purchase and use of your Mellow product or the condition or performance of your Mellow product, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration by a neutral arbitrator, instead of in court by a judge or jury. This applies to claims that may be asserted against Mellow, against any affiliate or employee of Mellow, or against any retailer from which you purchased your Mellow product, which shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of this agreement. You and Mellow agree that that any arbitration under this paragraph will take place on an individual basis, and mutually waive any right to sue in court, to have a trial by jury, and to bring or participate in a class action.

 

The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to their Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, which are available, together with instructions on bringing an arbitration, on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. JAMS arbitrations of consumer claims are subject to JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, which are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards. If you initiate arbitration against Mellow, the only fee for which you will be responsible is $250, which is less than most court filing fees; all other costs, including JAMS’s Case Management Fee and the arbitrator’s professional fees, will be borne by Mellow.

 

The arbitrator will have the authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available for your individual claim in a court under law or equity.

 

Please note that you have the right to opt out of this procedure for resolving any disputes through arbitration by opting out within 30 days of your purchase of the Mellow product. Opting out is at no penalty to you and you may retain and use your Mellow product. To opt out, please send an email to privacy@bpmatt.com or hard copy letter to 1951 Fairway Dr. Suite A, San Leandro, CA 94577 ATT: Customer Service, that includes your name, address, email address, phone number, proof of purchase including date of purchase, and the statement “Opt Out of Arbitration.”
