4. Terms of Sale

4.1 Price and Availability  Prices are subject to change without notice.  Products are subject to availability.  Some of the Products are shown in the Services for promotional purposes only and may not be available for purchase.

 

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars, unless we display prices in the local currency. 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.

 

All Products and Services offered for sale are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, reject all or any part of an order, and discontinue sales of Products and Services without prior notice. Prices for Products and Services are subject to change at any time, but such changes will not affect any order for Products or Services you have already placed.

 

 

4.2. Payment and Billing Information

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant all payment information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that 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 and other charges). You must promptly notify us of any changes to your payment information. If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order(s) may be suspended or canceled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in relation to the payment method you select in order to proceed with your order. When we process your credit card, some credit card companies may place a temporary hold on your account for your first payment. Please contact your credit card company if you have questions.

 

Our presentation of Products and Services shall not be considered a binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order. Only once you conclude the online purchase process, will we have a binding contract of sale. You may update your cart at any time before concluding the online purchase process. We will not proceed with the delivery process until your payment has been received. We may refuse or cancel any order at any time at our sole discretion.  Payment must be received prior to order acceptance.  Products sold via the Services are intended for end users only and not for resale or export.

 

 

4.3. 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 Products or Services. Orders placed outside the U.S. may incur Taxes as determined by the customs agency within the destination country. Assessment of Taxes is generally based upon the value of the order and the Tax-free threshold (if applicable) for goods imported into the destination country. We will collect applicable Taxes if we determine we have a duty to collect Taxes. Please note that we do not collect Taxes on merchandise shipped to jurisdictions in which we do not have substantial nexus. For our U.S. users, the actual Taxes charged and collected may differ from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this difference, such as variances between processor programs and changes in Tax rates.

 

4.4. Shipping, Risk of Loss and Delivery

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. 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 as part of the checkout process are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Unless we state otherwise, risk of loss or damage to a Product passes to you upon delivery of the Product to your specified delivery location. We reserve the right to restrict delivery to addresses within the U.S.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding shipping, please contact us at: [email protected].

4.6 Third-Party Products Purchased from Third-Party Sellers

We may provide the ability to purchase products from third-party sellers through the Services, in which case, we act as an intermediary only. If you purchase a product from a third-party seller, your purchase will be governed by the terms and policies of that third party. We are not the sellers of such products and are not a party to the sale of these products; therefore, we do not make any representations or warranties in terms of that product, nor do we accept returns or issue refunds for such products.

 

4.7. Errors

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, or other Product- or Service-related information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged.  

 

5.Subscription Services

 

5.1. Services Subject to Free Trial, Discount Period and Auto-Renewal

One of the paid subscription Services that we provide is online cooking classes, demonstrations, and a corresponding provision of recipes and related services to our subscribers (collectively, the "Cooking Lessons"). In connection with the Cooking Lessons, subscribers may have the opportunity to interact with online instructors and teaching assistants. These individuals are not our employees and we are not responsible for the content and information that they provide through the Services. We hereby disclaim any liability of any kind or nature in connection with the Cooking Lessons.  

Another paid subscription Service is for periodic coffee bean deliveries through Beanz.com (“Beanz subscriptions”).  These coffee beans are provided by independent roasters, and we are not responsible for the fitness, quality or suitability of those beans.  We hereby disclaim any liability in connection with the merchantability or defects, if any, of any orders or purchases via your Beanz subscription(s).

 

5.2. Pricing and Availability - Subscriptions

We provide some of our Services free-of-charge.  However, certain subscription services (such as Cooking Lessons, Beanz coffee delivery services, etc.), may be one of our paid subscription Services subject to a periodic fee (as described in the applicable subscription offer), provided that we may provide a free trial (a "Free Trial") or discount period (a "Discount Period") to allow new subscribers to try the Service. We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your Free Trial or Discount Period eligibility, and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial or discount abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the Free Trial or Discount Period and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. Members of households with an existing or recent subscription are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment, or an account email address used with an existing or recent subscription to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.

 

If you sign up for a Free Trial or Discount Period, you will be automatically charged a periodic fee (the "Subscription Fee"), plus applicable taxes and related charges, for continued access after its expiration unless you cancel your subscription on or before the end of the Free Trial or Discount Period. YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM US THAT YOUR FREE TRIAL OR DISCOUNT PERIOD HAS ENDED OR THAT THE FULL PAYING PORTION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEGUN. Access to the Free Trial or Discount Period will end immediately upon cancellation during the Free Trial or Discount Period.

 

Following the Free Trial or Discount Period, we will continue to automatically charge the Subscription Fee on a periodic recurring basis until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it in our discretion for any reason, and you hereby authorize us to charge the current, valid, accepted method of payment you have provided us with to make such payments. All payments are non-refundable.

 

Products are subject to availability.  If your coffee choice becomes unavailable, we will ask you to select from the other coffee options that we believe most closely resemble your original choice in style and price.  If you don’t choose, we will send the one we believe to be the best fit

 

You may cancel your subscription at any time. To cancel, go to MyBrevilleChefSteps or Beanz "Subscription" page on our website and follow the instructions for cancellation. To see when your account will close, click "Manage Subscription" on the "Subscription" page. If you signed up through a third party payment provider and wish to cancel your subscription, you may need to do so through that third party, for example, by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing through that third party. You may also find billing information about your subscription by visiting your account with the applicable third party.

 

We will provide you with advance notice of all fees we charge and any changes to our fees. If you continue to use paid Services after a fee has been increased, you agree to pay the increased fee. If you terminate your subscription, you are responsible for the full amount of the Subscription Fee for the subscription period during which you terminated, and you will continue to have access to your subscription benefits until the end of that period. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the Subscription Fee for the next subscription period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL PERIODS AND/OR ANY UNUSED SERVICES. If, for any reason, you do not pay any Subscription Fee when due: (i) you remain liable for the Subscription Fee as well as any costs we incur in collecting it, including attorneys' fees; (ii) you authorize us to continue charging your chosen payment method pursuant to the terms hereof; and (iii) we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services. To the extent that you continue to be charged after valid cancellation of your subscription due to our error, you agree that your sole remedy will be to receive a refund from us for the overcharged amounts. You must raise any discrepancies within 60 days of the applicable charge or else they are waived.

19. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH BREVILLE AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

 

Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to legal action. Before taking any formal action, you will contact us within 30 days of the date the dispute arises at Breville USA, Inc., 19400 S. Western Ave., Torrance CA 90501 or at [email protected] and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your user name, if your dispute relates to an account). Except for intellectual property and small claims, we both agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question or disagreement directly through consultation, and good-faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating legal action.

 

 

19.1. Binding Arbitration

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, "Disputes") arising out of or related to a violation of Section 10 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Breville each agree (a) to waive your respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Services, Materials or Products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Breville agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

 

19.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions

You and Breville agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services, Products or Materials is personal to you and Breville and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Breville agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Breville agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

 

19.3. Federal Arbitration Act

You and Breville agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

19.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Breville agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Breville shall be sent electronically to [email protected].

 

19.5. Process

Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 11 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Breville agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in Los Angeles County, California, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Los Angeles County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

 

19.6. Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

 

19.7. Rules of JAMS

The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

 

20. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your access to and use of the Products and Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Los Angeles County, California.

 

21. Termination

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Services, and to block or prevent your future access to and use of the Services. If you transfer a Product that links to our Services to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates, and the new owner will have no right to use the Services under your account and will need to register for a separate account with Breville.

 

22. Severability

If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is  determined to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms.  These Terms shall be construed as if they did not contain the unlawful, invalid or unenforceable language and all other provisions, including the class action waiver, shall remain fully enforceable. Nothing in these Terms shall prohibit or prevent any party from seeking public injunctive relief in a court of law in any matter under applicable  consumer protection laws, subject to the venue provisions herein
