Terms of Service


SOUND TERMS OF USE

These terms of use were last revised on January 22, 2024

 

PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS.

 

This agreement includes a mandatory arbitration agreement in Section 16 below, which means that you agree to submit any claim (as defined in Section 16) to binding individual arbitration rather than proceeding in a court. If you want to opt-out of this mandatory arbitration agreement, Section 16 below describes the procedures you must follow to do so. The arbitration agreement also includes a class action waiver in Section 16 below, which means that you agree to proceed with any claim individually and not as part of a class action

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

The Site and Content are provided on an “as is” an “as available” basis. Your use of the Site is at your own risk. To the full extent permissible by applicable law, SOUND and the Site expressly disclaim all representations and warranties, either express or implied, as to the Site or Content, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

If applicable law does not allow the exclusion of some or all of the above implied warranties to apply to you, the above exclusions will apply to you only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

You agree that from time to time we may remove the Service for indefinite periods of time or cancel the Service at any time, without notice to you.

 

The information presented on or through the Site is made available solely for information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Occasionally there may be information on the Site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information on the Site or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). 

 

Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Site, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information on the Site or on any related website, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law.

Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential dames, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

SOUND will never use your personal social media content (“User Generated Content” or “UGC”) without first obtaining your express written permission.

15. APPLICABLE LAWS AND JURISDICTION

 

You agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations regarding your use of the Site and your purchase of the products and services on the Site.

 

SOUND controls the Site (excluding third party linked websites) from its corporate offices within Los Angeles, California, United States of America. SOUND makes no representation that the Content is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Accessing the Site or Content from jurisdictions where such access or the Content is illegal is prohibited. Users are solely responsible for compliance with all the laws of their jurisdictions.

 

The Site may describe products and services that are available only in the United States of America (or only parts of it) and are not available worldwide. You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms of Use or to any sale of goods carried out as a result of your use of the Site.

The Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use, any separate agreements we provide you, and any dispute between you and SOUND arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site or to your use or purchase of any SOUND’s products or services.

 

16. DISPUTES: ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, TIME LIMITATION, AND CLASS WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

 

We will work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with Site, including products ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.

 

You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any claim against SOUND, you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely.

 

You may send the written description by U.S. Mail to SOUND Foods, 11835 W Olympic Blvd, Suite 1095E, Los Angeles, California 90064; Attn: General Counsel.

 

You agree to negotiate with SOUND in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days after SOUND’s receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below. With respect to the dispute resolution provisions, including the class action waiver, subsidiaries, partners and affiliates of SOUND shall be third party beneficiaries.

 

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site or to your purchase or use of any SOUND’s product will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

 

By agreeing to arbitration, you understand and agree that you are waiving your right to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes or claims. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. The rules in arbitration are different. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Although review by courts is limited, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as would be available in court, and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms of Use as a court would. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Company.

 

You and SOUND each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. This means that you and SOUND agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Attn: General Counsel, SOUND Foods, 11835 W Olympic Blvd, Suite 1095E, Los Angeles, California 90064.

 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/consumer or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 USD unless the arbitrator determines the claims are invalid or frivolous. Likewise, SOUND will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are invalid or frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another location that is mutually agreed upon.

 

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. The parties also agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

 

You and SOUND agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within 1 year after the claim arises (including the mandatory pre-dispute procedures outlined above) and that any proceeding commenced after 1 year shall be barred.

 

You agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Agreement (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, or the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.

 

In order to avoid irreparable injury to SOUND, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions of this Agreement, we shall be entitled to seek an injunction or other equitable relief restraining such breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting SOUND from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from you.
