Terms of Use

FILOSANO TERMS OF USE

Effective as of: November 12th, 2018

Welcome to the Filosano (“Filosano,” “we” or “us”) website located at Filosano.com (the “Site”), including the online marketplace services provided through the Site (the “Services”). The following terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) govern access to and use of the Site. Please review the following terms carefully. By accessing and using the Site, you (“you” or the “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that Filosano may publish or update from time to time on the Site. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not access or use the Site or Services.

THESE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE (1) AN ARBITRATION PROVISION; (2) A WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO BRING A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US AND (2) A RELEASE BY YOU OF CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE AGAINST FILOSANO THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE. BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS RELEASE.


PRIVACY POLICY

Filosano respects the privacy of its Users. Please refer to Filosano’s Privacy Policy which explains how we collect, use, share and store information you provide to us through the use of the Site. When you access or use the Site, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

 

ABOUT THE SERVICES

Filosano provides an online marketplace for users to purchase sustainable products sold by vendors listing through the Site (“Vendors”). Users may browse or search the Site to find items regarding which they wish to gather information and to identify items the User may wish to purchase. To purchase an item, Users submit an order through the Site to the vendor selling the item the User wishes to purchase. The User then provides payment information to a third party payment processor who processes payments. The applicable Vendor will then ship the purchased item directly to the User. Filosano does not own or sell the items listed on the Site, so the contract for sale of the purchased item is directly between Users and the applicable Vendor.

  1. The date of your notification;
  2. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  3. A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

The failure to send proper notification pursuant to the DMCA may result in our taking incomplete or no action with respect to the allegedly infringing material described in such improper notification, and under some circumstances may even result in liability to the person(s) submitting such improper notifications.

Counter-Notices

If you believe that your content that has been removed from the Site is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our copyright agent using the contact information set forth above:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. A description of the content that has been removed and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed;

  4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the Northern District of California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Filosano copyright agent, Filosano may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing such person that it may reinstate the removed content in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or User, the removed content may (in Filosano’s discretion) be reinstated on the Site within 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

 

terms of sale

Except as provided in this section, the terms and conditions applicable to any User’s purchase of products through the Site or Services are governed by Filosano’s Vendor Code and the sales policies the Vendors communicate to you on the page that lists the Vendor’s products for sale, including, without limitation, with respect to shipping, risk of loss and payment.

Product Description

Vendors attempt to be as accurate as possible in describing their products. However, Filosano does not warrant that product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a product offered by a Vendor is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in its original packaging and in unused condition.

Typographical Errors

In the event a product is listed on the Site at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or an error in pricing or product information received from Vendors or our suppliers, we shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at the incorrect price, whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we shall instruct the third party payment processing service provider to issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge within fourteen (14) business days.

 

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES AND THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FILOSANO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE SERVICES, THE SITE AND ANY GOODS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, SECURITY, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, FILOSANO MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT ACCESS TO OR OPERATION OF THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR ANY CONTENT WILL BE COMPLETE, COMPREHENSIVE, ACCURATE OR UP-TO-DATE. FILOSANO MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE SITE, SERVICES, INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL OR GOODS OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES AND THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

FILOSANO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, GOODS, DATA, OPINIONS, ADVICE OR STATEMENTS MADE AVAILABLE ON THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. AS SUCH, FILOSANO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR RELIANCE ON SUCH INFORMATION OR GOODS. FILOSANO ENABLES THESE FEATURES AS A CONVENIENCE AND THE INCLUSION OF SUCH FEATURES DOES NOT IMPLY AN ENDORSEMENT OR RECOMMENDATION.

YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK OF LOSS RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND THE SERVICES AND ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIAL OR GOODS OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH GOODS OR SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO A WARRANTY OFFERED BY A VENDOR, IN WHICH CASE SUCH VENDOR SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WARRANTY.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that this disclaimer of warranties is a fundamental part of the agreement between you and Filosano contained in these Terms of Use and that Filosano would not agree to enter these Terms of Use or allow you access to the Site or Services without such disclaimers. Some jurisdictions limit or do not permit disclaimers of warranty, so this provision may not apply to you.

 

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; RELEASE

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL FILOSANO, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, OR ITS LICENSORS OR THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS OR VENDORS, BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER YOU, FOR (1) ANY DAMAGES TO OR VIRUS THAT MAY INFECT YOUR EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY AS THE RESULT OF ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING THE SERVICES; OR (2) ANY LOSS, CLAIM, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME, LOST OPPORTUNITY, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, HOWEVER ARISING AND REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OF ACTION, THAT, IN EITHER CASE, RESULT FROM (A) THE USE, DISCLOSURE, OR DISPLAY OF USER CONTENT; (B) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR SERVICES; (C) THE SITE AND SERVICES GENERALLY OR THE SYSTEMS THAT MAKE THE SITE AND SERVICES AVAILABLE; OR (D) ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH FILOSANO OR ANY OTHER USER, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FILOSANO HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY LIABILITY IS IMPOSED ON FILOSANO FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER HEREUNDER, THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY FILOSANO TO YOU BY REASON THEREOF WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). You acknowledge that the foregoing limitations are an essential element of the agreement between the parties and that in the absence of such limitations the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use would be substantially different. Some jurisdictions limit or do not permit disclaimers of liability, so this provision may not apply to you.

If you have a dispute with one or more Users, Vendors or any other third party resulting from or arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or Services, you release Filosano (and our officers, agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

 

REMEDIES

You agree that our remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of these Terms of Use would be inadequate and that we shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any damages that we may be legally entitled to recover, together with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including, without limitation, damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and expenses.

No instance of waiver by us of our rights or remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future or other waiver.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Filosano, its officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, liability, costs and expenses awarded by a court or agreed upon in settlement, as well as all reasonable and related attorneys’ fees and court costs arising out of or in connection with (i) any third party claim relating to your violation of any term of these Terms of Use or (ii) any third party claim that the Site or Services infringe any U.S. patent or copyright to the extent such claim arises from your User Submitted Content.

 

MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF USE

We may amend these Terms of Use at any time. Any amendments will be effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Site thereafter. It is your sole responsibility to check the Site from time to time to view any such changes in these Terms of Use. If you continue to use the Site or Services, you signify your agreement to our revisions to these Terms of Use. However, we will notify you of material changes to these Terms of Use by posting a notice on our homepage and/or sending an email to the email address we have on file for you at the time the amended Terms of Use are posted. For this additional reason, you should keep your contact and account information current. Any changes to these Terms of Use (other than as set forth in this paragraph) or waiver of Filosano’s rights hereunder will not be valid or effective except in a written agreement bearing the physical signature of an officer of Filosano. No purported waiver or modification of these Terms of Use accepted by Filosano via telephonic or email communications will be valid. Please see the “Changes & notifications” section of our Privacy Policy for more specific terms regarding modifications to the Privacy Policy.

 

TERM AND TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION

In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, we may, without prior notice to you, immediately terminate these Terms of Use or revoke any or all of your rights granted under the Terms of Use and terminate or suspend your account or ability to use the Site or Services, in whole or in part, without notice, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, (i) you violate these Terms of Use or any other rules that govern the use of the Services, (ii) your conduct may harm Filosano or others or cause Filosano or others to incur liability, or as otherwise determined by Filosano in its sole discretion.

You may terminate your Filosano account at any time by providing Filosano with notice of termination via email to info@Filosano.com.

Upon any termination of these Terms of Use, you shall immediately cease all access to and use of the Site, and we may, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, immediately revoke all password(s) and username(s) issued to you and deny your access to and use of the Site in whole or in part. Any termination of these Terms of Use shall not affect the respective rights and obligations (including, without limitation, payment obligations) of any User, Vendor or Filosano that arose before the date of termination.

 

USER CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS IN ELECTRONIC FORM

For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Filosano in an electronic form via the email address you have submitted; and (b) agree that all Terms of Use, agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Filosano provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were in writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including information about Filosano. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

 

Dispute Resolution – Arbitration, No Class Action

ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR BREACH OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF OR THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT COULD (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES), AND MUST FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS OF USE AS A COURT WOULD.

Such arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules and applying the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Judgment upon any award rendered therein may be entered and enforcement obtained thereon in any court having jurisdiction. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall have authority to grant any form of appropriate relief (other than punitive damages), whether legal or equitable in nature, including specific performance. Filosano and you agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of any action at law or equity. By agreeing to arbitrate, you are agreeing to waive your right to a jury trial.

If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send written notice to Filosano of your intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Filosano should be clearly labeled “Notice of Intent to Bring Dispute to Arbitration” and be sent by email to Filosano at info@filosano.com. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION FILOSANO AND YOU EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Notwithstanding the above, Filosano and you also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court for injunctive relief, including to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

 

APPLICABLE LAW

This site is created and controlled by us in the State of California, USA without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. As such, the laws of the United States and of the State of California will govern these disclaimers, terms and conditions.

 

GENERAL TERMS

If any part of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of these Terms of Use will be construed consistent with applicable law. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of Filosano to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under these Terms of Use will survive any termination of these Terms of Use. The headings of the sections of these Terms of Use are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing these Terms of Use.
