6. Terms of Sale

 

6.1 Products and Prices.  Some of the Products featured on the Services are displayed for promotional purposes only and may not be available for purchase or may be out-of-stock. All Products offered for purchase are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits. In some cases, Products displayed for sale on the Site may not be available in stores or vice versa. Prices are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include applicable Taxes (defined below), shipping and handling charges, or other fees, unless we clearly state otherwise or are required by law to display prices inclusive of any Taxes, charges and other fees. Prices posted on this Site may be different from prices offered by us at our stores.


We attempt to be as accurate as possible and to eliminate errors on our Services; however, we do not represent or warrant that the descriptions, pricing, shipping times, or other Product-related information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct such errors or omissions and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged, including after you have submitted your order and/or payment method has been charged.  We make reasonable efforts to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear online. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be accurate.


We may offer Products for pre-order, in which case we will make attempts to provide accurate estimated shipping times.  However, such shipping times are not guaranteed, and we will endeavor to provide updates to you as soon as possible.  In the event a Product you have ordered is out of stock, we will also make attempts to notify you of the updated shipping date when available.


6.2. Orders.  Our presentation of Products shall not be considered a binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to cancel or refuse any order for any reason at any stage of the process prior to delivery, including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed. Unless otherwise agreed to by Our Place, payment must be received by Our Place prior to acceptance of an order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Our Place may in its discretion choose not to charge your selected payment method until your order has been shipped. Our Place may process payment for and ship parts of an order separately.  We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.  


6.3  Promotions, Voucher Codes, Special Offers.  All promotions, coupons, and other special offers (“Offers”) are subject to the terms and conditions of the associated Offer and may not be combined or used in conjunction with other Offers unless specifically permitted. Only one Offer may be used per order and such Offer is applicable to in stock items only, unless otherwise agreed to by Our Place. Our Place reserves the right to decline orders where it determines in its sole discretion the Offer or use thereof is invalid. Purchases using an Offer must comply with the terms to qualify for the Offer and may be subject to additional conditions than those contained in these Terms as provided to you in connection with the Offer. Offers are not redeemable for cash.  Only Offers sent to you through official Our Place communications channels are valid. You agree that Offers: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public forum or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by us; (iii) may be disabled by us at any time for any reason without liability to us; and (iv) may expire prior to your use.


6.4. Limited Edition.  Our Place may occasionally offer variations of a Product in limited quantities (“Limited Edition Products”).  Unless otherwise noted, Offers may not be applied to the purchase of Limited Edition Products.  Limited Edition Products may look and perform differently than their standard counterpart.  Replacement of Limited Edition Products is subject to availability and may be replaced with a Product of similar kind, in Our Place’s sole discretion.  


6.5 Resale.  Other than to our authorized corporate gifting and wholesale partners, we sell and ship Products to end-user customers only, and Our Place reserves the right to refuse or cancel your order, restrict sales to any customer or customer account, impose purchase quantity limits, suspend or close any account or take any other action we reasonably deem necessary, if we suspect you are purchasing products for resale or export. Products sold through the Services are not authorized for resale or export. The resale of or offer to sell a Product without the authority of Our Place is an infringement of Our Place’s intellectual property rights. Your submission of your order shall constitute your full acceptance of these restrictions on resale. Your purchase may not be sold, leased or transferred to restricted countries; to restricted end users; or for restricted end uses according to applicable export and sanctions laws of the United States. Any Products distributed via an unauthorized resale are not eligible for our Limited U.S. Warranty Program. 


6.6. Payment Information.  For your convenience, we offer a wide array of payment methods to complete your purchase as indicated to you at the point of sale.  By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that: (1) all payment information is accurate; (2) you are authorized to use the designated payment method; (3) you permit us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your order (including any applicable taxes, shipping and handling charges (if any) and other charges); and (4) you have sufficient funds or credit available upon your initiation of a transaction to ensure that the purchase price will be collectible by us. If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order(s) may be suspended or canceled. Please note that some credit card companies, banks and financial institutions may place an authorization or temporary hold on your account in connection with your purchase. Please contact your credit card companies, banks or financial institutions directly to inquire about any such authorization or hold.  


6.7. Third Party Provider. Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. (“Shopify”). They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our Products to you, and provide payment services to us (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement and related services). By purchasing any Product, you agree to be bound by Shopify’s Payments Terms of Use, available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms-payments-us and Privacy Policy available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. You hereby consent to provide and authorize Our Place and Shopify to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the minimum extent required to complete payment transactions.


6.8.  Taxes.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for any sales, use, value-added or other governmental taxes, fees or duties (collectively, "Taxes") due with respect to your purchase and use of our Products and Services. Our Place collects Taxes if we determine we have a duty to collect Taxes based on the type of Product or Service purchased, date of shipment and the shipping address.  


6.9. Shipping, Title Transfer, Risk of Loss, Delivery.  You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you place an order. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Any delivery dates or times shown on our website or as part of the checkout process are estimates only and are not guaranteed. The number of days quoted for standard and express shipping refers to transit time only, additional time is required to process orders (typically 1-2 business days for normal volume). Products may be delivered in multiple shipments. With the exception of products purchased or picked up at an Our Place store, title and risk of loss for products purchased from Our Place pass to you upon delivery to our common carriers, provided you have made full payment of the order amount (including Product price, delivery charges if any and any other charges payable under these Terms of Sale, if any). 


6.10. Returns and Exchanges.  Unless otherwise stated in the Our Place store (e.g., marked as “Final Sale”), you can return or exchange a Product in accordance with the terms of the return policy as posted on the website here. All gift card sales are final.  We monitor returns activity for abuse and reserve the right to limit returns or exchanges in all instances. We are not able to offer returns or exchanges on behalf of our retail partners. If you purchase from a partner of ours be sure to review their return policy as it might differ from ours.  Replacement of Products is subject to availability and may be replaced with a Product of similar kind, in Our Place’s sole discretion.  


6.11. Third Party Products. From time to time, we may offer for sale Products manufactured, distributed, created, produced or otherwise provided to Our Place by third parties (“Third Party Products”). When you purchase a Third Party Product, you do so at your own risk. Our Place has no control over, and assumes no responsibility or liability for, Third Party Products.


6.12. Limited U.S. Product Warranty.  Certain of our Products are covered by a limited warranty in the U.S., as described in the Limited U.S. Product Warranty Program here. Third Party Products are not covered by our Limited U.S. Product Warranty.

Our Place may, from time to time, offer our customers and users the opportunity to receive rewards toward future purchases from the Our Place website by referring other people. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Our Place Refer a Friend Terms for information related to the referral program.

7. Loyalty Programs

 

We may offer loyalty programs from time to time (“Loyalty Programs”).  You will be provided with specific terms in connection with such Loyalty Programs, and your participation in Loyalty Programs will be subject to such terms. If you participate in our Dirty Dishes Loyalty Program, your participation is subject to our Dirty Dishes Loyalty Program Terms. To participate in Loyalty Programs, you may be required to create an account on the Services or to provide contact or other information about yourself.  You may also be required to make a certain number of purchases or total amount of purchases to participate.  We retain the right to revise our Loyalty Program terms at any time, in our sole discretion, and will provide notice of such changes in accordance with applicable law.  We reserve the right to terminate your participation in Loyalty Programs if you no longer meet the applicable terms.

11. Limitation of Liability and Release

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND CONTENT REMAINS WITH YOU. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR PLACE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, OR ANY OF OUR PLACE OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “REPRESENTATIVES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, DAMAGE TO ANY COMPUTER OR DEVICE, LOSS OF USE, OR COSTS OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LINK OR CONNECTION PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES, WHETHER OR NOT OUR PLACE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CIVIL LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD PARTY MERCHANTS OR FOR ANY INFORMATION APPEARING ON THIRD PARTY MERCHANT SITES OR ANY OTHER SITE LINKED TO OUR SITE.

THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE OUR PLACE’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION. 


Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages, such as in Quebec or Saskatchewan. Accordingly, some of these limitations may not apply to you. If you are located in New Jersey, United States, the limitations in this Section do not apply to you. To the extent that we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or condition or guarantee or limit liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty or condition or guarantee and the extent of our liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.


If you participate in an in-person or online Our Place experience (e.g., a cooking class or demonstration) (“Experience”), you expressly acknowledge that such Experience may involve risks such as physical injury or negative health impacts (e.g., food allergies).  You expressly assume these risks if you participate in an Experience and acknowledge that you voluntarily choose to participate despite such risks.  You further waive and release Our Place and its Representatives from any and all liability, claims, costs, and expenses of any kind and of whatever nature which may later accrue, caused by or arising directly or indirectly from your participation in an Experience, including, without limitation, any injuries suffered while participating in an Experience or practicing what you learned through Experiences on your own time, any injuries to other persons, and any property damage that may occur as a result of my engaging in an Experience.  


You hereby release Our Place and their successors from, and covenant not to sue for, claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of the Site and/or Services, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other users or third-party websites of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms or your use of the Site and/or Services. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or the released party.”


12. Indemnity

 

To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Our Place and its Representatives harmless from and against all claims, losses, actions, penalties, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation, lawyers’ and experts’ fees and disbursements, in connection with or arising out of: (i) your use of or access to the Services, Products, or Content, (ii) your exposure to Content or User Content or Feedback, (iii) the use by any other persons accessing any Services using your account or account login; (iv) your violation of the Terms, including the Privacy Policy or of an applicable law; (v) your submission, posting, or transmission of User Content to the Services and our use thereof; or (vi) your violation of any rights of another.

You may not settle any claim contemplated under this Section 12 without the prior written consent of Our Place. 


13. Modification and termination

 

13.1 Modification of Services and Prices. Except where not permitted by applicable local legal requirements, Our Place reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof), including the Products and their prices, with or without notice. Our Place shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.


13.2 Termination. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, terminate, suspend, or otherwise deny your access to all or part of the Services at any time for any or no reason at all, with or without notice to you. If we terminate your right to access the Services, these Terms will terminate and all rights you have to access the Services will immediately terminate; however, certain provisions of these Terms will still apply post termination, including without limitation, and as applicable, the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions and Sections 11 and 12. Termination of your use or access to the Services may also include, at Our Place’s sole discretion, the deletion of your account and/or User Content, and you will not be able to retrieve any information related to your account except as required by applicable law. You agree that if your use of the Services is terminated pursuant to these Terms, you will not attempt to use the Services under any name, real or assumed, and further agree that if you violate this restriction after being terminated, you will indemnify and hold Our Place and its Representatives harmless from any and all liability that Our Place of any of its Representatives may incur with respect thereto.


Except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law, we have no obligation, whether before or after the termination of your use of the Services, to return or otherwise provide to you or any third party on your behalf any Content, any information you provide to us, or any other information that we have may have that relates to you.


13.3 If we become aware of any possible violations of the Terms, or if we determine that you breaches any portion of the Terms, we reserve the right to (without limitation) also: refer the matter to and cooperate with any and all applicable legal authorities; disclose any information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary and/or in order to comply with applicable law, legal processes or governmental requests; issue legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all costs resulting from the breach (including, but not limited to, reasonable administrative and legal costs); issue a warning to you; investigate your behavior; and temporarily or permanently deactivate or suspend access to your Account or your right to use the Site. We exclude our liability for all action we may take in response to breaches of these Terms. The actions we may take are not limited to those described above, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.


14. Mandatory arbitration and class action waiver for residents of the United States

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.  THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.


14.1 Application. You and Our Place agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 14 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including your purchase and use of any Product or Services; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.


14.2 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to arbitration. Before taking any formal action, you will contact us at ATTN: Legal, La gom Kitchen Company dba Our Place  2251 Barry Avenue Los Angeles, California 90064, with a copy to legal@fromourplace.com, and provide your name, a brief, written description of the dispute, your contact information and a description of the specific relief you seek.  Before we take any formal action against you, we will notify you via the contact information we have on file associated with your account/purchase with a brief description of the dispute and next steps. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with each other, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.     


14.3 Binding arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided in section 14.8) subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ formation, performance, and breach) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.


14.4 Arbitrator’s powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.


14.5 Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) contact JAMS and follow the appropriate procedures with JAMS to commence the arbitration (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at: Attn: Lagom Kitchen Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE, 19808 c/o Corporation Services Company with a copy to legal@fromourplace.com.


Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’ applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith.


The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the Los Angeles, California, United States, and you and Our Place agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the such location, with such federal or state court applying the laws of the State of Delaware, in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.


14.6 Waiver of Class or Non-Individualized Relief. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM(S) WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND OUR PLACE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER, IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, UNLESS YOU AND OUR PLACE OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, ANY ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIM(S) WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN YOUR FAVOR AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), AND ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER OUR PLACE CUSTOMERS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim for relief, and only that claim for relief, must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.


14.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS(S) WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND OUR PLACE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.


14.8 Exception: Litigation of intellectual property and small claims court claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief or bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to the unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.


14.9 30-day right to opt out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to arbitration-opt-out@fromourplace.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT OUT” and your first and last name and email address associated with your account and stating your intent to opt-out. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the effective date of these Terms; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Our Place also will not be bound by them.


14.10 Changes to this Section. If we make any material changes to this Section 14, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the contact information set forth in Section 14.9. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms if you had properly opted out of this Section within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms. If you have not properly opted out of this Section after such first 30 days, by rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration provision, as modified by any changes you did not reject. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with us or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and us.


14.11 Severance of Arbitration Agreement. If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Agreement, which shall remain in force, or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement. 


14.12 Survival. This Section shall survive any termination of the Terms or of your use of the Services. This Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply even if you or we close your Our Place account.


14.13. Federal and State Courts in Los Angeles. Except to the extent that arbitration is required, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award or with respect to excluded claims set forth in Section 14.8, any action or proceeding may only be instituted in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California. Accordingly, you and Our Place consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.


15. Text Messaging

 

15.1.  Text messaging consent and terms.  By using the Services, you agree that Our Place and those acting on our behalf may, in certain circumstances, send you recurring automated text (SMS) messages at the phone number you provided us. These messages may include operational messages about your use of the Services, as well as marketing or other promotional messages.  You acknowledge and agree that your voluntary provision to Our Place of your phone number when collected for purposes of promotional and marketing text messages, whether that election is made via an opt-in checkbox, submitting your phone number to a designated form, requesting enrollment via text message or another method, represents your consent that Our Place (or its messaging service provider) may contact you by telephone, SMS or MMS messages at that phone number for marketing and promotional purposes. 

 

You may opt-out of receiving marketing text messages at any time by texting STOP to any text message from us or sending an email to hello@fromourplace.com, indicating that you no longer wish to receive marketing texts along with the phone number of the mobile device receiving the messages. You may continue to receive text messages for a short period while we process your request, and you may also receive text messages confirming the receipt of your opt-out request. You acknowledge that our text messaging platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that do not include the “STOP” keyword command and agree that Our Place and its service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. If you do not want to receive operational text messages from us, do not use the Services. If you unsubscribe from one of our text message programs, you further acknowledge that you may continue to receive text messages from Our Place through our other text message programs you may have joined until you separately unsubscribe from those programs. For example, if you unsubscribe from receiving promotional and marketing text messages, you may still receive text messages about your account or orders for transactional, operational, or informational purposes unless you unsubscribe from those text messages as described above, and even in such event you may still receive individual texts from our third-party delivery partners to enable successful delivery of your order. Text the keyword HELP to our shortcode to return customer care contact information.


Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Your agreement to receive marketing texts is not a condition of any purchase or use of the Services. Carriers, text messaging platforms, and Our Place are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You verify that the phone number provided to us is true and accurate and that you are the current subscriber or owner of the phone number that you provided. If you change or deactivate the phone number you provided to us, you must update your account information to help prevent us from inadvertently communicating with anyone who acquires your old number. Data and message rates may apply for SMS and MMS alerts, whether you send or receive such messages. Please contact your mobile network operator for details. Message frequency may vary. Our Place reserves the right to change the short code or phone number from which messages are sent, and we will notify you when we do so. 


15.2  E-SIGN Disclosure.  By agreeing to receive text messages, you also consent to the use of an electronic record to document your agreement. You may withdraw your consent to the use of the electronic record by sending a message to hello@fromourplace.com. To view and retain a copy of this disclosure or any information regarding your enrollment in this program, you will need (i) a device (such as a computer or mobile phone) with a web browser and Internet access and (ii) either a printer or storage space on such device. For a free paper copy, or to update our records of your contact information, please contact us via hello@fromourplace.com with contact information and the address for delivery.
