2. Order Process.
   • 2.1 Order Acceptance. Each part of any order that you submit to SendSmiles constitutes an offer to purchase. If you do not receive a message from SendSmiles confirming receipt of your order, please contact our Customer Service department at care@sendsmiles.com before re-entering your order. SendSmiles’ confirmation of receipt of your order does not constitute SendSmiles’ acceptance of your order. SendSmiles is only deemed to have accepted your order once the product(s) you ordered have been shipped (the “Product”).
   
   
   • 2.2 Order Issues. Although we strive to accept all valid orders, SendSmiles reserves the right to deny any order for any reason, including if: (i) we discover an error in pricing and/or other information about the Product or receive insufficient or erroneous billing, payment, and/or shipping information, (ii) we suspect an order has been placed using stolen payment card information or otherwise appears to be connected to fraud, or (iii) the ordered Product is unavailable due to discontinuance or otherwise. We may also refuse any order that is connected with a previous payment dispute.
   
   
   • 2.3 Order Cancellation. If any Product is discontinued or otherwise becomes unavailable, SendSmiles reserves the right to cancel your order and provide you a refund for the amount paid for the Product.
   
   
   • 2.4 Restrictions on Resale. To protect the intellectual property rights of SendSmiles and its licensors and suppliers, any resale of Products for personal and/or business profit is strictly prohibited. SendSmiles reserves the right to decline any order that we deem to possess characteristics of reselling.


3. Fees and Purchase Terms.
   • 3.1 Automatic Renewal of Subscriptions and Charges.All subscriptions will renew automatically until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. When you place a subscription order, you authorize SendSmiles to charge your valid credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or other payment method we accept (“Payment Method”) immediately for the amount set forth on the order page plus applicable taxes for your initial subscription. By placing your subscription order, you also authorize us to charge your Payment Method again automatically at the beginning of each subsequent subscription renewal period (“Renewal Commencement Date”) at SendSmiles’ then-current price for such subscription plus applicable taxes. Each subsequent subscription renewal period will have the same duration as the initial subscription period you selected at the time of your initial order. Upon renewal of your subscription, if SendSmiles does not receive payment from your Payment Method, you agree that SendSmiles may (i) require you to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or continue to attempt to charge your Payment Method until payment is received and (ii) either terminate or suspend your subscription. If your Account is deactivated for nonpayment, and we subsequently reactivate your Account upon receipt of payment, for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription by 11:59 p.m. ET on the day prior to your next Renewal Commencement Date by contacting SendSmiles by email at care@sendsmiles.comand requesting cancellation. If you cancel your subscription, you may continue to use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. Your Renewal Commencement Date ordinarily will be synchronized with the day of the month on which you signed up for your initial subscription. For example, if you sign up for a monthly subscription on October 1st, your subscription would renew and your payment account would be charged immediately following the end of the 1st day of every subsequent calendar month until you cancel. If you sign up for a monthly subscription on the 31st day of a given month, your subscription would automatically renew and your account will be charged immediately following the end of the last day of each subsequent calendar month until you cancel (e.g., on November 30th, December 31st, January 31st, February 28th, etc.) If you wish to cancel your subscription before incurring a charge for your next scheduled subscription renewal period, you must do so no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the day before your next Renewal Commencement Date. If you are uncertain about your next scheduled Renewal Commencement Date, please email us at care@sendsmiles.com.

It requires you to arbitrate disputes with SendSmiles, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “SendSmiles Parties”) and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the SendSmiles Parties.
    • 12.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Services, to any products sold or distributed through the Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with SendSmiles, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or SendSmiles may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
    
    
    • 12.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent [include name and address of registered agent here]. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ . JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, SendSmiles will pay them for you. In addition, SendSmiles will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
      You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    
    
    • 12.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and SendSmiles. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
    
    
    • 12.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.YOU AND SENDSMILES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and SendSmiles are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 12.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
    
    
    • 12.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
    
    
    • 12.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out.You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: care@sendsmiles.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
    • 12.7 Severability Except as provided in subsection 12.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
