Terms of Use

Thank you for visiting this web page. This web page (the “Site”) is provided to you by Hausmart, Inc. (“Hausmart,” “we,” “us” or “our”), as well as our website at hausmart.com and all related websites, networks, downloadable software, and other services provided by us (collectively, together with the Site, our “Service”) where these Terms are posted. These Terms of Use (these “Terms of Use” or “Terms”) and any other applicable policies and guidelines, as may be updated from time to time, govern your use of the Service.

These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Hausmart. In order to use the Service, you must agree to these Terms. BY ACCESSING, VISITING, OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE. All users of Hausmart are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable where the Service is rendered.

Hausmart is not a retail store or merchandise delivery service. Hausmart provides the Service to enable consumers to shop merchandise curated by content creators with whom Hausmart and brands (referred to herein as “Retailers”) have a direct relationship. You can view product, product prices, and other product information on the Site. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UPON SELECTING “CHECKOUT” OR A SIMILAR OPTION, YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE RETAILER’S E-COMMERCE SITE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE PURCHASING ALL MERCHANDISE DIRECTLY FROM THE RETAILER AND NOT FROM HAUSMART, AND YOU WILL CONTACT THE RETAILER FOR ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS, RETURNS, OR OTHER ISSUES IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERCHANDISE OR YOUR ORDER.

Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND HAUSMART ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Please review Section 14 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration”) below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Hausmart.

13. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL HAUSMART’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED $100.

14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Service, you and Hausmart agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Service, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.

Both you and Hausmart agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Hausmart’s address for Notice is:

Hausmart
3501 Wazee St.
Denver, CO 80216

and hausmart@hausmart.com

The Notice must:

  1. Describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
  2. Set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Hausmart may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Hausmart must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Hausmart will pay you the highest of the following:
    1. The amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any;
    2. The last written settlement amount offered by Hausmart in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or
    3. $1,000
  3. Any dispute or issue between you and any third party, including any Retailer.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided herein. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York County, New York, according to the following:

  1. Solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator;
  2. Through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or
  3. By an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address.

If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Hausmart for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

If Hausmart makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Hausmart’s address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Hausmart’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Hausmart will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.

16. Force Majeure

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Hausmart will be excused from performance under these Terms for any period that it is prevented from or delayed in performing any obligations pursuant to these Terms, in whole or in part, as a result of a Force Majeure Event.

We may assign these Terms in whole or in part at any time to any entity without your notice or consent. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this section shall be void.

You may terminate these Terms at any time by closing your account, uninstalling the mobile application, and ceasing use of the Service.

24. Modification of these Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify the Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted through the Service, except as set forth below. These Terms identify the date of last update. Your use of the Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms of Use. In the case of material changes to these Terms, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change, such as through a pop-up window on the Service, or other similar mechanisms.

Material changes to these Terms will be effective as of the effective date indicated in the Terms. Any use of the Service after such an effective date means that you have accepted the updated Terms.

Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications.
