    1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
      • Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver; Choice of Law.
        • We encourage you to contact our Customer Service department if you have concerns or complaints about Vitapod. Generally, customer complaints can be satisfactorily resolved in this way. If we cannot resolve your concerns informally, disputes between you and Vitapod shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 1.
        • You and Vitapod agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the dispute or claim) relating to Vitapod, including, without limitation, all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Vitapod, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, that arose either before or during this, or any prior, version of these Terms of Use, or that may arise after termination of your relationship with Vitapod.
        • Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to limited review by courts. Under this Agreement, arbitrators can award the same individual relief affecting individual parties that a court can award, including damages and an award of attorneys' fees, if the applicable law allows. BY AGREEING TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND VITAPOD AGREE TO EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR COURT (except small claims court). Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court for disputes or claims that are within the scope of the small claims court's authority.
        • The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Terms of Use, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. For more information on JAMS, its rules and procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800-352-5267 or visit the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.org. Arbitration will proceed at a location that the arbitrator selects within 100 miles of your primary residence, unless you and Vitapod agree otherwise.
        • The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
        • In the event that you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Vitapod will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. Vitapod also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration. However, Vitapod will not pay your share of the arbitration fees if the arbitrator finds that either your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, as measured by the standards of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
        • YOU AND VITAPOD AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR VITAPOD WILL BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. You and Vitapod agree to seek only such individual relief – whether in the form of individual damages, an individualized injunction, or other non-monetary individual relief – as is necessary to resolve any individual injury that either you or Vitapod has suffered or may suffer.
        • The requirement that claims be brought in binding arbitration only in an individual capacity and not as a representative, private attorney general, or class member (“Class Action Waiver”) is non-severable. If the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, with the exception of the next sentence. In the event the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, or in the event the agreement to arbitrate is found to not apply to a dispute, that such action between you and Vitapod shall proceed in the federal or state courts located in Santa Clara County, California.
        • Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, Vitapod agrees that if Vitapod makes any change to this arbitration provision, such change will not be applicable to any dispute to which you had previously provided notice to Vitapod.
        • If you do not want to be bound to this agreement to arbitrate, you must opt out of it within 30 days of it first becoming applicable to you (i.e., within 30 days of you first agreeing to a version of these Terms of Use containing an arbitration agreement). To opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, you must send a letter or postcard to Vitapod’s headquarters, to the attention of the “Legal Department” and state that you do not want to be bound by this arbitration agreement. Vitapod’s address is 1919 S. Bascom Ave, Suite 300, Campbell, CA 95008.
        • These Terms of Use and your use of Vitapod are governed by the laws of the State of California, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to its choice of law provisions.
        • These Terms of Use expressly exclude and disclaim the terms of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which shall not apply to any transaction conducted through or otherwise involving Vitapod.
      • Changes to Terms. From time to time, we may also modify these Terms of Use to accommodate new technology, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or for other purposes. If we make material changes to these Terms of Use that would impact your continued use of this Site, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such changes (including through email and/or by posting a notice directly to your account), and may also ask you to affirmatively consent to the changes at the time of your next login on this Site. By continuing to use this Site after such notice and/or consent, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use as modified. If you do not agree with our changes to these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy will be to discontinue use of this Site.
      • If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision, and Vitapod’s failure to assert any right under these Terms of Use or to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Vitapod may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to any third party at any time without notice to you. These Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs, trustees, administrators, and assigns. These Terms of Use contains the final and entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous verbal or written negotiations, understandings, or agreements regarding the subject matter hereof.
      • Events Outside Our Control. We will not be liable or responsible to you for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"). This includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes (but is not limited to) the following: (i) strikes, lockouts or other industrial action; (ii) fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, pandemic or other natural disaster; (iii) impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport (iv) civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (declared or not) or threat or preparation of war; (v) impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; or (vi) the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.
      • Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use all reasonable endeavors to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
      • Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use, and our other Rules and Policies are an agreement between you and us. They form the entire basis of our relationship and other terms and conditions will apply and no further representations or warranties have been made by either of us.
