A. Order Eligibility
To complete your purchase, you must have a valid billing and shipping address within a country that can be selected for the billing and shipping addresses as part of the checkout process on the Site or GEBC App (the “Territory”). We make no promise that Products or Services available on the Site and GEBC App are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the Territory.

B. Product Availability, Display, and Specifications
Details of the Products and Services available for purchase are set out on the Site and in the GEBC App. All features, content, specifications, Products, and prices of Products and Services described or depicted on the Site and in the GEBC App are subject to change at any time without notice. We attempt to ensure that information on the Site and in the GEBC App is complete, accurate, and current. Despite our efforts, the information on the Site and in the GEBC App may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We make no representation as to the completeness, availability, accuracy or currency of any information on the Site and in the GEBC App. For example, Products or Services included on the Site and in the GEBC App may be unavailable, may have different attributes than those listed, or may actually carry a different price than that stated on the Site and in the GEBC App.

We make reasonable efforts to publish information and display Product images accurately, but we cannot guarantee that the image you see on your monitor or mobile device will exactly match the Product. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. Packaging may vary from that shown.

C. Purchase Restrictions and Quantity Limits
You may only purchase Products and Services for personal use by either yourself or your intended recipient of the Products. The Products and Services are not authorized for resale. We may place a limit on the quantities that may be purchased per order, per account, per credit card, per person, or per household. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to refuse service to any customer or reject any order at any time and refund any money you have paid for such order.

D. Order Process; Errors
You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address, payment method, and other details of your order. We will display or send a notice when we accept your order and our acceptance will be complete at the time we display or send the notice. We will arrange for shipment of the Products to you. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping and delivery of your order. Title and risk of loss in any goods you purchase pass to you when the shipping carrier receives the goods from GEBC. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. For example, if there are errors on the Site or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Product or pricing information or Product availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We also may require verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or shipment of any order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order.

In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.

Taxes and shipping and handling costs will be added to the amount of your purchase and itemized on the check-out page. You will have an opportunity to review taxes and delivery costs before you confirm your purchase. Each item in your shopping cart is shown at the current price. All prices on the Site and in the GEBC App are subject to change at any time without notice. We do not collect taxes on merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction in which we do not have substantial nexus, in which case you will be liable to the appropriate taxing authority for any sales taxes relating to your purchase from the Site and in the GEBC App.

GEBC may make available promotional codes, coupon codes, or other discount codes. Such promotional, coupon, or discount codes are limited to one per person. Promotional, coupon, or discount codes may not be assigned, transferred, copied, or sold and have no cash redemption value. Promotional, coupon, or discount codes are not valid with any other discounts or offers. State and local laws may require or permit GEBC to charge sales tax on the selling price of the Product or Service without deduction for the amount of the promotional, coupon, or discount code.

F. Service and Other Fees
Some Services may be provided for a fee, either now or in the future. When you select or use Services subject to a fee, you will pay the applicable fees in connection with such Service(s) in accordance with the amounts and payment terms (including due dates) specified in the applicable Supplemental Terms or on the Site and/or the GEBC App. If no timing or due date for a given Service fee is specified, such fee will be due upon selection or sign up for the applicable Service. Some paid Services may be offered on a subscription basis with fees charged to you upon periodic renewals of such Service absent your termination of such Service prior to the renewal fee becoming due. Unless otherwise noted, all fee payment obligations for Services are non-cancelable and all Service fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable. GEBC may change any or all of its Service fees (or impose new fees) upon notification to you of such changed or new fees (except to the extent the applicable Supplemental Terms expressly state that fee rates are locked in for some period of time).

When you purchase certain Products, you may also have the option to purchase a subscription to the paid Services associated with the Product for a monthly or a yearly period. When you have purchased access to paid Services with a Product in this manner, you will receive an activation code either with the Product or via email. That activation code can be used to redeem a period of subscription service when enrolling in a recurring subscription for the paid Service associated with your Product. Activation codes are not redeemable for cash, and may not be assigned, transferred, copied or sold and are not valid with any other discount or offer. Activation codes expire 12 months after the Product they were provided with was purchased.

G. Payment
The Site and the GEBC App give you different payment options. We reserve the right to change our payment options at any time and for any reason. Payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. When you provide credit card information or other information necessary to facilitate payment to us or our vendors, you represent to us that (i) you are the authorized user of the credit card that is used to pay for the Products and Services, (ii) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site or the GEBC App at the time of your order.

In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses. Credits or refunds will be made to the same method of payment and account used to place the order.

H. Returns
OUR RETURN POLICY IS IN ADDITION TO ANY STATUTORY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER LAW. WE WILL ACCEPT ANY ITEMS RETURNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR RETURN POLICY DESCRIBED IN OUR RETURN POLICY AND LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS. WE MAY DENY ANY RETURN IF IT FAILS TO MEET OUR RETURN CRITERIA DESCRIBED IN OUR RETURN POLICY. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OUR RETURN PROCESS AND POLICY, PLEASE VISIT OUR RETURN POLICY AND LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS.

I. Subscriptions
Certain Products and Services may require you to enroll in a recurring subscription before they can be used. Recurring subscriptions may be made available on either a monthly or a yearly basis (“Subscription Periods”) for the recurring fee indicated at the time you enroll in the subscription (“Fee”). You agree that your subscription is continuous until you cancel it and that you will be charged the Fee both (a) at the beginning of the Subscription Period and (b) at the beginning of each subsequent Subscription Period until you cancel.

YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE GEBC TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE THE FEE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD, DEBIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, OR OTHERWISE BILL OR CHARGE YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE SELECTED, AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT LEAST TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS BEFORE THE END OF YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.

If you do not cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current Subscription Period, you will be charged for another Subscription Period. For example, if your monthly subscription begins on January 1, you must cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before February 1, which means you must cancel on January 30 to avoid being charged for the Subscription Period beginning February 1.

If the subscription Fee changes, GEBC will notify you at least 30 days in advance of the next Subscription Period. If you do not want to pay the new Fee, you must cancel your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current Subscription Period.

If you used an activation code or a promo code, coupon code, or other discount to sign up for a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period. GEBC will automatically charge your payment method on file, and you will be responsible for payment of the full Fee due.

9. INDEMNITY FOR THIRD-PARTY ACTIONS
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GEBC, our affiliates and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers (individually and collectively, the “GEBC Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses, or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to: (i) your access to or use of the Products or Services; (ii) your User Content or Feedback; (iii) your violation of these Terms; (iv) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (v) your conduct in connection with the Products or Services. Nothing contained herein will be construed to require any indemnification which would render or make this clause, in whole or in part, void and/or unenforceable under applicable law. However, your indemnification obligation will not apply to any willful, wanton, intentional, reckless misconduct of the GEBC Parties, or gross negligence of the GEBC Parties in those states that do not permit indemnification for gross negligence. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and GEBC or the other GEBC Parties.

You will promptly notify GEBC Parties of any third-party Claims, cooperate with GEBC Parties in defending such Claims, and pay all fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). GEBC reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify GEBC and you will cooperate with our defense of such third-party Claims. You will not settle any third-party Claim without GEBC’s prior written consent. GEBC will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

10. MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICES
GEBC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to modify, augment, limit, suspend, discontinue or terminate any aspect of the Products and Services without advance notice. All modifications and additions to the Products and Services will be governed by the Terms or Supplemental Terms, unless otherwise expressly stated by GEBC in writing. GEBC will not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Products and Services or any part thereof.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GEBC AND THE OTHER GEBC PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF GEBC OR THE OTHER GEBC PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GEBC AND THE OTHER GEBC PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US$500 OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS OR USE OUR SERVICES, AS APPLICABLE.

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF THE GEBC PARTIES OR FOR ANY OTHER MATTERS IN WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. ADDITIONALLY, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND GEBC TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES US FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IS PERSONAL TO YOU AND GEBC, AND ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ACTION AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Resolution and Arbitration of Claims. Except for small claims disputes in which you or GEBC seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or GEBC seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and GEBC waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Products or Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim (collectively, “Claim”) that you have against GEBC or that GEBC has against you or that you have or GEBC has relating in any way to these Terms or our Products or Services, including Claims that do not address injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property but are jointly filed with Claims that seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and GEBC agree to attempt to first resolve the Claim informally via the following process.

If you assert a Claim against GEBC, you will first contact GEBC by sending a written notice of your Claim (“Claimant Notice”) to GEBC by certified mail addressed to GEBC Legal Department, HOMEWELL INC, LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, CA 91011, USA, or by email to info@homewellinc.net. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If GEBC asserts a Claim against you, GEBC will first contact you by sending a written notice of GEBC’s Claim (“GEBC Notice”) to you via email to the primary email address associated with your Account. The GEBC Notice must (i) include the name of a GEBC contact and the contact’s email address and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.

If you and GEBC cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within thirty (30) days after you or GEBC receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Claim to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or GEBC first send a Claimant Notice or a GEBC Notice, so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

Arbitration with the AAA. All Claims submitted to the AAA will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in California, unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence in accordance with the then-current version of the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”). For purposes of this section, you will be deemed a “consumer” if you use the Products or Services for your personal, family, or household purposes. The most recent version of the AAA Rules is available on the AAA website and is hereby incorporated by reference. We each will either read and understand the AAA Rules or waive our opportunity to read the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

Cooperation to Protect Confidential and Sensitive Information. If you or GEBC submits a Claim to arbitration, you and GEBC agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and GEBC agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

Governing Law; Arbitrator Authority. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 12 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.§1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against GEBC or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

Arbitration Fees. For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee and GEBC will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by GEBC, GEBC will pay all AAA fees and costs. The state or federal courts of the State of California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Additional Procedures for Coordinated Arbitrations. You and GEBC further agree that, in addition to the AAA Rules, the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against GEBC or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated.

In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and GEBC understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against GEBC or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated resolution of your or GEBC’s Claim might be delayed.

For such coordinated actions, you and GEBC also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for claimants and counsel for GEBC shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings. The remaining cases shall be deemed filed for purposes of the statute of limitations but not for the purpose of assessing AAA fees. No AAA fees shall be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process.

A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.

This bellwether process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved.

The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this bellwether process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your or GEBC’s case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved.

A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against GEBC or you.

One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Claim by you or GEBC arising out of or related to these Terms or our Products or Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you or GEBC will not have the right to assert the claim.

Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us notice of your opt-out via email at info@homewellinc.net or by certified mail addressed to GEBC Legal Department, HOMEWELL INC, LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, CA 91011, USA. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 14.

Severability. If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims that must proceed in court will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section will be enforceable.

13. LANGUAGE
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the controlling language for these Terms is English. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related documents and Services, including notices and other communications, be provided in the English language only. Any translation has been provided for your convenience only. In the event of any disagreement or conflict between the English version and any translation, the English version will prevail.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Products or Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, including the FAA, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any dispute between the parties is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, then the state and federal courts located in California, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to venue in any such courts.

If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you (but only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section).

15. GENERAL
A. Severability; Waiver
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure or delay of GEBC to exercise or enforce any right, remedy or provision of the Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right, remedy or provision. All waivers of any terms or conditions in these Terms must be in writing signed by the waiving party.
