PRODUCT ORDERS

1. 1. Order Acceptance and Cancellation

Under this Agreement, an order is an offer to buy the Products listed in the order. All orders submitted are subject to final review and approval/acceptance. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the Products to you. After the order has been approved, we will send you an email with your order shipping information.

VORWERK reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to accept any orders.

If delivery is delayed at the request of Consumer, or for any other reason beyond the control of VORWERK, the Product shall nevertheless be deemed to have been delivered to Consumer as of the date of notice from VORWERK to Consumer that the Product is available for shipment for purposes of determining the final price for the Product and the time payment will be due. Products held by VORWERK for Consumer after the giving of such notice shall be held at the risk and expense of the Consumer.

You agree to release, discharge, defend, indemnify and hold harmless VORWERK and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, third party information providers, licensors, contractors and others involved in the delivery of products, services or information through this Site (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), arising from, in connection with, or relating to, any breach of this Agreement by you. You agree that the Indemnified Parties will have no liability in connection with any such breach, and you agree to indemnify any and all resulting loss, damages, judgments, awards, costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses of the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith.

 

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement has been made in and will be construed and enforced solely in accordance with the laws of Canada and the law of the Province of British Columbia, as applied to agreements entered into and completely performed in the Province of British Columbia and without regard to conflicts of laws rules. In the event, and for whatever reason, should the arbitration clause below be inapplicable, then you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for purposes of any legal action arising out of or related to the use of this Site or these Terms. In addition, you acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement, which constitutes an unauthorized use of VORWERK proprietary assets or information, will cause irreparable injury to VORWERK, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and VORWERK would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that VORWERK shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, you hereby waive any requirement that VORWERK post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to VORWERK to enforce any provision of this Agreement. In addition, you agree to waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement. A printed version of this Agreement and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent as other documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Please contact VORWERK if you wish to receive a printed copy of this Agreement. If any part of this Site is contrary to the laws of the jurisdiction from where you are when you access it, this Site is therefore not intended for you, and we require that you not use this Site. Those who choose to access this Site from outside Canada do so on their initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.

 

BINDING ARBITRATION

ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE RELATING THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION. The parties shall attempt to resolve all claims and disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement informally to the maximum extent possible. All claims or disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement that are not resolved between the parties within thirty (30) days after one party gives written notice of a demand for arbitration to the other party shall be determined by private binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”) that are in effect on the date that the notice of a demand for arbitration is given. Any notice of a demand for arbitration shall include sufficient detail to establish the nature of the dispute (including the claims asserted and the material issues with respect thereto) and shall be delivered to the other party. If the parties are unable to agree on the identity of a single arbitrator within forty (40) days after notice of a demand for arbitration is given, then the CAA arbitrator selection rules shall apply. The seat of any arbitration under this Agreement shall be Vancouver, British Columbia, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The laws of the province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein will apply during the arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall be in writing and describe in detail the legal reasoning adopted by the arbitrator in support of the decision. In rendering a decision, the arbitrator shall follow the governing laws of this Agreement. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties; provided, however, that errors of law may be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction for review. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, each party shall bear the expense of their respective attorneys’, experts’ and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the CAA at

https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca.

 

NO CLASS ACTIONS

BOTH PARTIES AGREE NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IF THE AMOUNT OF THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIM EXCEEDS $1,000. THIS PARAGRAPH IS ENFORCEABLE WHERE THE APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS, AND SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT WHERE THE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS CLASS ACTION WAIVERS AS A MATTER OF LAW. IN ANY CASE THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER PROVISION, IS SEVERABLE IN THE EVENT ANY COURT FINDS IT UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE IN A PARTICULAR CASE.
