If you wish to purchase a Product or any service made available through the Services, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your transaction, including without limitation your credit or debit card number, the expiration date of your credit or debit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION.

In rare cases, a Product may be shown as in stock when you place the order, but becomes sold out prior to our processing of the order. Should this happen, we will notify you by email, and offer you an option to cancel the item and receive a refund, or offer you an option to delay receipt of the product. We also may offer some Products for sale before they have been manufactured or arrive at our warehouse (ie; ‘pre-order’). When you pre-order these Products, we will ship them out once they are available. In rare cases, these items may not become available for shipping. Should this happen, we will notify you by email, cancel the item from your order, and refund the payment for such order.

    4.4. SHIPPING

Please refer to our Shipping Information for more details.

    4.5. PRODUCT DELIVERY
    Excluding pre-orders, your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out at time of the transaction or in your order confirmation.

Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS' most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS's rules are also available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules (or the rules of the alternative arbitral forum selected by the parties) and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state's law.

    To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Proudly will pay the additional cost. Proudly shall also bear the cost of any arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds your claims, defenses, or other fee-generating activity to be frivolous or asserted or conducted for an improper purpose. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expert witness costs unless Proudly is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law.

    If Proudly's or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.

    You or Proudly may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where: (a) jurisdiction and venue over you and Proudly otherwise qualifies for such small claims court; (b) such claim advances only on an individual (e.g. non-class, non-representative) basis; and (c) where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to provide Proudly with advance notice by email to info@Proudly.com and by mail to Proudly 1600 Main Street, 2nd Floor, Venice CA 92091.

    These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Proudly on your behalf.

    19.4. Authority of Arbitrator

    The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable or whether any claims are not subject to Arbitration. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Proudly. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
    19.5. Waiver of Jury Trial

    YOU AND PROUDLY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Proudly are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

    19.6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out

    You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out. Your notice must be sent via email to privacy@Proudly.com and to: Proudly within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), your signature, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, or may enter into in the future with us.

    19.7. Parents, Subsidiaries, AffProudlytes

    This Arbitration Agreement will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affProudlyted company of Proudly, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Proudly, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Service, any person's access to and/or use of the Service, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Service.

    19.8. Parents, Subsidiaries, AffProudlytes

    Proudly will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Service, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the applicable website or sent to you.

    Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the sections entitled "Arbitration" and "Class Waiver" and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver sections in existence after you began using the Service.

  20. WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS
    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

    Proudly and you agree to resolve any dispute in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Proudly and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party. If an Arbitrator or a Court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then the portion of the claim seeking that remedy (and only that portion of the claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims shall remain subject to arbitration solely on an individual basis.

    The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person's or entity's claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator's decision or award in one person's or entity's case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Proudly users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

    If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in San Francisco, California.

    If any clause within this Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.

    This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Proudly, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Proudly, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims is a dispute.

    This Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services

  21. TERMINATION, SURVIVAL

We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Services at any time without prior notice or liability. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability, class action waivers and arbitration.
