Terms and Conditions of the website

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Terms”) ARE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION BELOW.

READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY ARE A LEGAL CONTRACT GOVERNING YOUR USE OF THE YANDY.COM WEBSITE AND ANY MOBILE-OPTIMIZED WEBSITE, MOBILE APPLICATION, OR OTHER ONLINE SERVICE ALLOWING ACCESS THERETO (collectively, the “Site”) PROVIDED BY YANDY ENTERPRISES LLC (collectively, “YANDY,” “we,” or “us,” or “our”).

By visiting our Site and/or purchasing something offered on the Site, you agree to be bound to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. All references to “you” or “your,” as applicable, mean any person, vendor, merchant, browser, or other entity who accesses, uses, and/or engages with the Site in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and/or changes to our Site. It is your responsibility to regularly review this page. The most current version of these Terms will supersede all previous versions. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of any amended Terms shall constitute your agreement to be bound by any such changes. Your use of the Site prior to the time these Terms were posted will be governed according to the Terms that applied at the time of your use. We reserve the right to deny you access to the Site if you violate these Terms.

Eligibility. The Site is intended solely for persons who are 18 years old or older. Any access to or use of the Site by anyone under the age of 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site you represent and warrant that you are 18 years old or older. Furthermore, you agree to be of the legal age required by the state of your residence when purchasing applicable products from our site. It is your responsibility to determine if you can legally buy certain products (“Products”) from the Site which may include, for example, hemp-derived CBD products or smoking accessory products that may be available for purchase. You may not use our Products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

Transactions and E-Commerce.  During your visit to the Site, you may elect to engage in a transaction involving the purchase of Products or any applicable services that may be offered. Credit card transactions and order fulfillment of Products are often handled by a third-party processing agent, bank or distribution institution. While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as perfect security on the Internet or offline. If you are concerned about online credit card safety, in most cases a telephone number will be made available so you can call us and place your order by phone. YANDY, its parent and its affiliates, cannot and do not take responsibility for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties. We reserve the right to refuse any order for Products that you may attempt to purchase from the Site. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or otherwise. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. Should we make any change or cancel your order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email or phone number provided at the time your order was made. You represent to us that any information you provide in connection with purchasing Products from the Site, or otherwise engaging with the Site will be correct, complete, and accurate in all respects.

Products and Accuracy of Information. Certain Products may be available exclusively online through the Site, and/or may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our refund or return policy. On occasion, a Product may not be available at the time or the price as it appears in an advertisement or other material in the Site. In such event, or in the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error, technology error, error in the date or length of publication, error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers or suppliers, or for any other reason, you agree that we are not responsible for such errors or discrepancies. We reserve the right to limit the sales of our Products to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. All descriptions of Products and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion.  We reserve the right to discontinue sales of any Product at any time. Any offer for any Product made on this Site is void in any state, province, or other jurisdiction where prohibited.

Health Information. As of the effective date of these Terms, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not evaluated any statements or materials on our Site, nor those applicable Products we may sell and distribute which may become subject to guidance or regulations issued by the FDA. As such, neither the FDA nor any other regulatory body endorses or approves any Products on our site or ingredients of our Products. No Products offered on the Site should be expected to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any diseases. Where we have provided information about recommended use or application of any Products, such information is being shared only for instructive purposes only and is not meant in any way to be a substitute for any professional medical advice or care. For those who are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medications, or have any pre-existing medical conditions, we strongly advise that you consult with your physician before using any applicable Products that may be offered on the Site.

Advertisements & Linked Sites.  We participate in various affiliate marketing programs and other arrangements with both our PLBY Group affiliated entities and third parties, which means we may receive a commission or other form of compensation if you (a) click on certain ads or links that appear on our Site, or (b) purchase a product or service using links from our Site to affiliated or third party websites.

If we provide links to other websites, you should not infer or assume that we operate, control, or are otherwise connected with these other websites. Please be careful to read the applicable terms and conditions and privacy policy of any other website before you provide any personal information or engage in any transactions. We are not responsible for the content or practices of any website that is not part of the Site, even if the website is operated by a company affiliated or otherwise connected with us. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable to you for any content or other materials hosted, served, or residing on the domain from any websites other than the Site and then only to the extent provided for herein.

During your visit to the Site, you may link to, or view as part of a frame, certain content that is actually created, hosted and/or licensed by a third party. Because we have no control over third-party sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of external websites or resources, nor for the content, actions, or policies of those sites. Information you provide on such websites, including personal information and transactional information, is subject to the applicable terms and conditions and privacy policy of those websites.

Your dealings or communications through the Site with any party other than YANDY are solely between you and that third party. Under no circumstances will the Site be liable for any goods, services, resources or content available through such third-party dealings or communications, or for any harm related thereto. Please review carefully that third party's policies and practices and make sure you are comfortable with them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, concerns or questions relating to materials provided by third parties should be directed to the third party.

You may not distribute any Content to others, whether or not for payment or other consideration, and you may not archive, modify, copy, frame, cache, reproduce, sell, publish, transmit, display, exploit, or otherwise use any portion of the Content. You may not scrape or otherwise copy our Content without our permission. You agree not to decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble any software or other products or processes accessible through the Site nor to insert any code or product or manipulate the Content or the Site in any way or for any purpose, and not to use any data mining, data gathering or extraction method.

These Terms and the relationship between you and the Site shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law provisions.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and YANDY agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.  The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with YANDY as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution.  Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. You can reach us at service@yandy.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration (except with respect to the exceptions set forth below).

Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty  (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at   www.jamsadr.com  ); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, California 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Yandy Enterprises LLC c/o PLBY Group, Inc. at 10960 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 2200 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Attn: General Counsel.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, YANDY will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, YANDY will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Los Angeles County in the State of California, United States of America, and you and YANDY agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.  YOU AND YANDY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis.

Exception. Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims:

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out.  You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to service@yandy.com with the subject line, "MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the Effective Date of these Terms; or (b) the first date that you used the Site that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later.  Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, YANDY also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section. YANDY reserves the right to change this Section (Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) at any time to reflect changes in the law, the features of our Site, or other considerations. Please check this page periodically for changes. Such changes will only become effective sixty (60) days after the revised Effective Date of these Terms and will only apply prospectively to claims arising after the sixtieth (60th) 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 section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Site.

Survival. This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or the Site.

No Waiver.  Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
