You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your Order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your Smoodies account, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and editing your payment information.

You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your Subscription or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.

5.6 Pricing and Availability

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if we change the amounts or other charges associated with your Subscription, we will provide advance notice of such changes in accordance with Section 3. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes. The shipment of Products, as applicable, to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes, unless you cancel your subscription(s) in accordance with the cancellation policies set forth in Section 5.1, as applicable.

All of our Products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain Products and to substitute Products (including, but not limited to, specific ingredients or entire items) without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality Products, and given the perishable nature of certain Products and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us at SMOODIES EMAIL.

5.7 Taxes

We will collect applicable sales tax on Products shipped to the states for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.

5.8 Shipping and Handling

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Generally, shipping is handled by a third party courier. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a Product for export. All Products purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that title to and the risk of loss of such Products passes to you upon our delivery of the Product to the third party courier.

5.9 Deliveries

You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In addition, you are solely responsible for confirming that the Products you receive are frozen. Each box is carefully packaged to stay frozen unit the time of delivery. To maintain the highest quality and integrity of your cups after delivery, you should immediately place the items into frozen storage (< 0° F) when you receive them. You should always inspect your delivery to confirm that cups arrive frozen. If at any time you believe that the Product in your delivery is not suitable for consumption, contact us at SMOODIES EMAIL.

To maintain the quality and integrity of the Products, we recommend that you immediately freeze all Products upon delivery and follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions on frozen food storage and food safety. From the time of delivery, the condition and consumption of the Products are solely at your risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe handling, storage, cooking, use and consumption of the Products following delivery. We recommend that you follow the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door. Our Products are packaged with insulated liners and dry ice and are designed to be delivered frozen under normal delivery condition. However, depending on the season and temperature in your geographic area at the time of delivery, advance planning by you should be made for proper storage of your Products prior to consumption. In certain areas, you may be able to provide additional delivery instructions when setting up your Smoodies account, such as requesting that your delivery be left with a doorman or neighbor. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself.

If you would prefer that someone have to sign for the delivery, please let us know the specific instructions. In such cases, if you, your doorman, your neighbor, or your alternate receiver is not present at the time of delivery, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact you and reschedule the delivery (in which case our standard redelivery fee shall apply). If we are unable to reschedule the order for any reason, the order will be canceled and you will be charged the applicable fee for the order.

In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, we will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably possible. In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery date. In the event that timely delivery of your Product is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that delivery.

5.10 No Resale

You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products for commercial purposes.

5.11 Returns and Refunds

If you are dissatisfied with a Product or ingredient for any reason, please contact us at info@smoodies.net within seven (7) calendar days of the date you received the Product and we will either replace the Product at our expense or, depending on the circumstances, provide you a full or partial credit or refund of the purchase price for that item. We may arrange a return or require photographic documentation of any Product with which you are dissatisfied before we provide you a replacement, credit or refund.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites (or any features or parts thereof) or the provision of the Products at any time and without liability therefor

  1. Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing us (SMOODIES EMAIL).

In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, we each agree that any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, arising out of, or relating in any way to this agreement, or the contractual relationship established by this agreement (whether in contract, tort, or under any statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other source of law) shall be resolved on an individual basis through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (accessible at https://adr.org/consumer) (except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify). You and Smoodies each expressly waive any right to trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. Neither you nor Smoodies shall be permitted or entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against others, or arbitrate or otherwise participate in any claims as a class member, class representative, or in any other representative capacity.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the county or parish in which you reside, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including (but not limited to) issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate and the arbitrability of any dispute between you and Smoodies. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by law. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone, and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, with or without oral hearings. Smoodies agrees that, upon request, it will pay a consumer’s filing fee for the arbitration.

For the benefit of the parties, all aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including (but not limited to) the transcripts of the hearing, the transcript of any deposition, and all documents produced or used during the arbitration proceeding, will be strictly confidential.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. If a court decides that any provision of this paragraph is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the other parts of this paragraph (and the remainder of these terms) will continue to apply, but in no case shall either you or Smoodies be permitted to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

  1. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Smoodies relating to your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of Products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Smoodies. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Smoodies’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
