SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

*PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS*

Applicable Law

The Site Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, U.S.A. without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise provided in the following paragraphs, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located within Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Site Terms or to any Site use must commence within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose; otherwise such claim or cause of action is permanently barred, regardless of any statute of limitations to the contrary. 

Informal Dispute Resolution

 

Arbitration Agreement

In the unlikely event that our support team is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), including, but not limited to, any alleged breach of the Site Terms, you agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration. Arbitration, which is often less expensive, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in a court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and may, but do not have to, award legal fees, arbitrator’s fees and costs, and other costs incurred by the party that does not win the dispute. You agree that any dispute will be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association.

Arbitration Procedure

Arbitration will occur by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“Supplementary Procedures”), as amended by the Site Terms. The Supplementary Procedures are available online at www.adr.org (click on the link labeled “Rules,” and then click on the link labeled “Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes”).

To the extent that the arbitrator deems reasonable, the arbitrator shall conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances. In the event that any in-person appearances are required by the arbitrator, such appearances shall be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania U.S.A.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be based upon the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Arbitration proceedings shall be confidential and shall be conducted in a manner that preserves such confidentiality. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents and shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, and you agree that federal and state courts in the Ohio County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall have such jurisdiction. The foregoing shall not preclude Get Stix from seeking any injunctive relief in a court of law or equity for protection of its intellectual property rights (including the rights of its licensors). 

No Class Action or Joint Claims

Arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between you and Get Stix alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Site Terms, and without waiving either party’s right of appeal, if any portion of this “Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions” provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Provision (other than this sentence) shall not apply.

COMMUNICATIONS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Communications with Get Stix 

Except as otherwise addressed in our Privacy Policy, you agree that any communications you may have with Get Stix, including, without limitation, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, drawings, images, videos, reviews, commentary, original material, and information, are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of Get Stix upon transmission of such communications to Get Stix via e-mail or other means. Get Stix shall acquire and own without need for any other writing the exclusive rights to such communications, and shall be entitled to their unrestricted use for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, including the right to modify, change, and create derivative works of such communications, without acknowledgement or compensation to you. You agree that Get Stix may contact you by email or otherwise. 

Consent to Electronic Communications

You also consent to allow Get Stix to respond to any inquiries by email regardless of the format of the original inquiry.

Consent to Text Messaging and Marketing Messaging

By entering your phone number, you authorize Get Stix to deliver automated marketing messages and you agree to our Privacy Policy, the Site Terms, and additional SMS Terms of use. You are not required to opt in as a condition of purchase.

By either (a) agreeing to our Site Terms and Privacy Policy or (b) entering your phone number to opt-in to replenishment reminder messages and clicking “Submit”, you agree that we or our providers may send you text notifications and text marketing offers. While variable based on your purchase behavior, marketing-based text messages will not exceed five (5) per month. You understand that consent is not a condition of purchase.

The section titles used in the Site Terms are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect.

Assignment

You may not assign any of your rights, obligations, or privileges under the Site Terms without the prior written consent of Get Stix, which may be withheld at Get Stix’s sole discretion. Any assignment of the foregoing other than as provided for in this section shall be null and void, ab initio.
