(f) Limited Warranties. The following are the limited warranties Pureguards provides in connection with Product Trials. Pureguards’ liability to you for failure to comply with any of these warranties is limited to timely delivery of Product.

(i) Correct Trial Products.  Subject to availability, we will deliver the Products you ordered for Trial, disregarding colors or memory size variants, on the delivery date and timeslot for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that your reserved Trial Product is damaged beyond repair or there is an occurrence subsequent to the placing of the order that prevents timely delivery. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you that the Product is unavailable. If we are able to reach you, you will be entitled to choose another day and timeslot or another Product to replace the unavailable Product. If we are unable to reach you, you acknowledge and agree that we will cancel your order.

(ii) Clean and Ready to Use. The Products will be professionally cleaned and delivered ready to use. Pureguards cleans and inspects each Product with the utmost care, but use of the Product is at your own risk and Pureguards shall not be held liable for any health-related complaints associated with any Product.

4.2 Product Trials.

(a) Delivery. As part of your Service subscription, you are eligible to try Products in-home in accordance with this Section 4.2 (“Trial”). Once you have selected a Product to try through our Service, we will do our best to deliver the Product on your chosen day and timeslot. Upon delivery, you will be asked to show a valid form of ID and sign a proof of delivery. You agree to bear responsibility for the receipt of Products shipped to the location specified at time of check out as well as upon receipt of the Product. You acknowledge that there may be delivery delays, and you will pay for any delivery charges incurred due to issues with delivery at your delivery address.

(b) Use of the Product. You agree to treat the Product with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products and its accessories due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor stains and scratches. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product or its accessories, as determined in our discretion, up to the full retail value for the Product.

(c) Return Pickup. You agree to return the Product and its accessories to Pureguards in the same condition and packaging you received it and on or before the last day of your Trial as identified in the order confirmation email. To return the product, simply log into your account and schedule a return pickup by specifying your desired address, date and timeslot. You can schedule the return pickup of your Product at any time during your Trial and latest by 18:00 local time the day prior to the last day of the Trial. We are not responsible for any personal or other items left in the Product or which are returned to Pureguards. If you believe you have accidentally or otherwise sent us any such items, please contact Customer Support as soon as possible at info.pureguards@gmail.com. Our staff may assist in attempting to locate such items at a customer’s request, but are not obligated to and assume no liability for doing so.

(d) Late Fees. You are not entitled to extend your Trial beyond its end date; if you return the Product late or not at all, you will be charged a late fee of twenty dollars ($20) for every day that you are late returning the Product, and you agree to pay such late fees until the product has been successfully picked up from you. You may however apply 50% of such fees to any subsequent purchase of the Product through the Service. If you have not returned the Product within five (5) days after the Trial’s end date, your late return will be considered a non-return and Pureguards will charge you an amount equal to the full Product retail value plus the Late Fees. All of these fees will be charged to the payment card you used to order your Trial or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to Pureguards.

(e) Payment of 100% Retail Value. Pureguards will not charge you for more than an amount equal to 100% of the retail value plus the late fees described above, in the aggregate, for any charges arising under this Section, excluding collection costs. If you pay Pureguards an amount equal to 100% of the retail value under this Section and you still possess the Product, the Product is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Late Fees, which are charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section.

4.3 Product Purchases

(a) Swap. When you desire to purchase a Product following a Trial, we will come swap your Trial Product with a brand new Product, and you can schedule this “Swap“ directly from your user account chosing your preferred date and timeslot.

(b) Purchase of Trial Products. Trial Products are generally not destined for sales but some exceptions may apply and you should contact Customer Support if you‘d like to purchase the Product you are trying.

(c) Payment. If you decide to purchase any Products from the Pureguards Service, you acknowledge and agree that your payments are made directly to the third-party brand offering the Product, and not Pureguards, via an API that connects your account and payment information to the relevant brand’s third party payment provider. Notwithstanding the above, payments for certain Products in New York will be made directly to Pureguards as agent for the third-party brand offering the Product. Purchase price is as listed on Pureguards’s website at the time of purchase, and is subject to change. Pureguards reserves the right to alter purchase price, discount, or availability of any particular item at its discretion and without notice. Upon your purchase order for a Product, you hereby authorize Pureguards or the relevant third-party brand to charge your payment card for the applicable purchase price. Your payment card will be charged the amount of the purchase price immediately upon your purchase order. Purchase prices exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by Pureguards, shall be paid by you to Pureguards in connection with your purchase order.

(d) Returns and Warranties. You also acknowledge and agree that the relevant third-party brand is solely responsible for (a) providing a product warranty directly to you with respect to the Products purchased via the Pureguards Service and (b) processing returns from you in accordance with brand’s terms and conditions and any applicable laws, rules and regulations.

13.2 Arbitration.

Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Pureguards. For any dispute with Pureguards, you agree to first contact us at info.pureguards@gmail.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Pureguards has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless you and Pureguards agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Pureguards from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

13.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. 

With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Service for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Pureguards are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

14. GENERAL

14.1 Force Majeure.

No party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments to the other party hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Events”): (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake or explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) government order or law; (v) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (vi) action by any governmental authority; (vii) national or regional emergency; (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (ix) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities; (x) internet, telecommunication, and software or hardware downtime or outages; and (xi) other events beyond the control of the party impacted by the Force Majeure Event.

Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service.

14.4 Entire Agreement/Severability.

This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Pureguards in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Pureguards concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

14.5 No Waiver. 

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Pureguards’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
