We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we do so, we will let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications.

If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore.

How the Services Work. We make available an online platform that allows you to purchase products (“Products”). Through the Services, and subject to your creation of an Account and your adherence to these terms and conditions, you will be eligible to browse our Products and place orders.
Order Confirmation. We will provide an email or other form of confirmation after receipt of your purchase order. Your receipt of an order confirmation merely confirms our receipt of your order and neither indicates our acceptance of your order nor confirms our offer to sell. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any order you place with us in our sole discretion. We may also, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household or order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same Account, Method of Payment (as defined below), email address, and/or using the same billing and/or shipping address. We also reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole discretion, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address provided at the time the order was made. If we cancel all or any part of your order after your Method of Payment has been charged, we will refund the billed amount.
Shipment Confirmation and Delivery. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming the Products have been shipped and information through which you can track your order. You may choose the method of shipment and estimated timing of delivery for Products you order if more than one method is available, and you will be charged shipping and handling charges accordingly based on your choice. Products will be shipped to an address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete (passes address validation tools) and complies with the shipping requirements on the Site (certain addresses may be ineligible for shipping). All purchases are made pursuant to a shipment contract and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon our delivery of the Products to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments. We are not responsible for deliveries that are delayed due to events that are beyond our control. However, we will endeavor to work with you in a reasonable manner to ensure that your orders are delivered to the carrier promptly.
Prices. The prices displayed for Products available for purchase via the Services represent the applicable retail prices, and do not include taxes, shipping or handling charges (to the extent applicable).

In order to make a payment, you must provide us with valid credit card and/or other billing information and authorize us (or any third party payment service provider engaged by us) to charge your Method of Payment for all orders placed and accepted via the Services. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any Method of Payment that you submit in connection with a purchase.
Order Changes. In an effort to ship your order in a timely manner, the order may enter our fulfillment process immediately without the ability to change, and thus when you place an order you should do so under the presumption that the order cannot be changed.

Product Information. Some Products or offerings of groups of Products together and displayed on the Site are available exclusively online through the Services. These Products may have limited quantities and, because of their limited availability, we may not be able to refresh the stock for these Products. When a Product featured on the Services is no longer in stock, we use our best efforts to remove such Product from the Services in a timely manner. If a product is in your cart it may still sell out prior to your checking out. All products are subject to availability and a product’s presence in your cart does not warrant availability.

Informal Dispute Resolution We want to address your concerns without the need to initiate a formal legal case. In the event of a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (collectively, a “Dispute”), you and Company agree to try to resolve such Dispute informally by first sending a notice to the other clearly marked “Notice of Dispute” and containing a brief written statement setting forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to Company at privacy@40boxes.com. We will contact you via email at the address specified in any such notice or the address we have on file for your Account. You and Company agree to use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation and good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days of submission of such notice. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such submission, you or Company may resort to the other alternatives described in this section.
ARBITRATION. In the event that any Dispute is unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days as described in the Informal Dispute Resolution section, above, you and Company agree to resolve such Dispute through final and binding arbitration BEFORE A SINGLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Except as modified by this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules.
If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules. Subject to the Applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location as may be determined by the arbitrator or as you and we may agree. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate – Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Company may bring a lawsuit in the state or federal courts in New York, New York, solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or Content or actual or threatened intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.
Judicial Forum for Disputes If Class Waiver Invalidated. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable, then the Dispute will not be subject to arbitration and must be brought in the appropriate federal or state court in New York, New York. Claims brought in state court may be removed to federal court if removal jurisdiction exists. Both you and Company consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to Company, these Terms, the Content, the Services or any Products must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose.
