welcome to hambrigh.com! we're hambrigh.com (hambrigh, we, us, or our), and we're glad you've decided to check us out! before we get started, we just need to make sure we're on the same page. we created these terms and conditions (the terms of service) (actually, our lawyers did, but please don't hold that against us), and we hope you take some time to read through them.
but seriously, you should read them: by accessing or using hambrigh.com, any of our merchants' online stores (we'll refer to each as a store and to the stores and hambrigh.com as the website), any of the services or content on the website, or any of our mobile applications (all of which we'll collectively call the service), you're agreeing that you read these terms of service, that you understand them, and that you will comply with them. if you don't agree to any of these terms of service or to the terms and conditions of our privacy policy, infringement policy, and prohibited products policy, which are also binding on you (and which together with the terms of service we'll call this agreement), you're not allowed to use the service. in other words, this stuff matters!
if you see any capitalized terms that aren't defined in these terms of service, they'll have the meaning we give them elsewhere in the agreement. in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of these terms of service and the terms and conditions of the privacy policy, infringement policy, or prohibited products policy, the terms and conditions of these terms of service shall govern. in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this agreement and any additional terms and conditions posted by any merchant in any store, the terms and conditions of this agreement shall control.
really important point: you should read carefully the sections below titled binding arbitration and class action waiver. they contain a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver, and these things affect your legal rights!
Description of Services
you might be using the service in one of two ways (both of which fall under this agreement): as a visitor or as a user.
visitors are people who visit the website, but do not register or sign in as users. they can (i) view all publicly-accessible content, (ii) purchase products, and (iii) contact us (though visitors may need to provide personal information in order to access or use some of these features).
users are people who register, personally or on behalf of an entity which they have the authority to bind, an account for the service (an account). users can do all of the things that visitors can do, and if they are logged into their account, they may also access and use certain restricted sections of the website or features of the service.
hambrigh provides an online marketplace for its users to offer, buy, and sell goods (products) and to otherwise interact with each other. hambrigh itself does not offer or sell the products; other users do. hambrigh isn't a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers of products, and we have no control over the quality, safety, legality or efficacy of any product. other users, and not hambrigh, provide descriptions and other information about the products. we can't control whether the descriptions and user content associated with the products are truthful and accurate, and by using the service you agree that you understand that hambrigh is not responsible for any statements or omissions concerning the products. we have no obligation to accept anyone as a user, and we've got sole and complete discretion to accept or reject any user.
the service is available only to those aged 13 years or older. if you are 13 or older, but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should review this agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parents or guardian understand it.
Account
the user is solely responsible for making sure its account is confidential and secure, and for all activities that occur on or through its account. the user agrees to immediately notify hambrigh of any security breach of its account.
the user agrees that any personal information required by hambrigh to register an account (registration information) will be provided accurately and completely (and also agrees to update registration information to make sure it stays that way). the user agrees that hambrigh will store and use the registration information in accordance with the privacy policy. from time to time, the user might be required to authenticate its account.
Code of Conduct
by using the service, you agree to comply with the following code of conduct:
you will not use the service for any illegal, immoral or unauthorized purposes or in ways that violate applicable laws. unauthorized uses include, but are not limited to, multi-level marketing, link farming or other activities designed to manipulate search results or other online marketing activities. these restrictions are important to protect the community of merchants and to create a platform that people trust and love. users who are unsure whether their activities fall outside of these criteria may at any time contact https://hambrigh.com to ensure that their activities comply with these terms.
you will not access or use the service if you are our direct competitor, unless you obtain our prior written consent. you may not access the service for purposes of monitoring its availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes.
you will not use automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers, data mining tools, or the like to download or scrape data from the website, service, or our apis, except for internet search engines (e.g., google) and non-commercial public archives (e.g., archive.org) that comply with our robots.txt file.
you will not take any action that imposes or may impose (in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our technical infrastructure.
you will not interfere with or attempt to interrupt the proper operation of the service through the use of any virus, device, information collection or transmission mechanism, software or routine, or access or attempt to gain access to any data, files, or passwords related to the service through hacking, password or data mining, or any other means.
you will not cover, block, or in any way interfere with any advertisements, watermarks, colophons and/or safety features (e.g., report abuse button) on the website or service.
you agree that any information you provide in connection with your use of the service, whether to us or to a third party, is accurate, truthful, and complete.
User Content

user content might be transferred unencrypted across various networks, and it's subject to changes to conform to the service's technical requirements. hambrigh can review and reject any user content provided at any time. by uploading user content via the service and/or any application, the user grants hambrigh a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable license to use and share the user content (including, but not limited to, altering, translating, storing, copying or making it available or marketing it to the public or transferring any of these rights to hambrigh's partners).
you can't publish user content that damages the hambrigh brand or in any way implies improper association to hambrigh. we can remove such user content if we determine in our sole discretion that it does so.
the user accepts that by providing user content, the user content will become available to other users on the internet who may share, download, republish or in other ways interact with it. hambrigh isn't responsible for another person's use or misuse of your user content.
the user has the right to delete a store or account associated with that user at any time by contacting https://hambrigh.com, but a store or account and any accompanying user content may remain publically accessible after deletion. we'll make commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to remove user content from our service and our systems.

Intellectual Property Rights
the service contains material, such as software, text, graphics, images, sound recordings, audiovisual works, and other material provided by or on behalf of hambrigh (collectively referred to as the content). the content may be owned by us or by third parties, and it is protected under united states law and foreign laws. unauthorized use of the content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws. you don't have any rights in or to the content, and you cannot use the content except as permitted under this agreement or by our prior written consent. you must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original content, and you can't sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, or modify the content or reproduce, display, publicly perform, make a derivative version of, distribute, or otherwise use the content in any way for any public or commercial purpose. you may not use or post the content on any other website or in a networked computer environment for any purpose.
the trademarks, service marks, and logos of hambrigh (hambrigh trademarks) used and displayed in connection with the service are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of hambrigh. other company, product, and service names used in connection with the service may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the third-party trademarks, and, collectively with hambrigh trademarks, the trademarks). nothing on the website should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use the trademarks. any store may use the trademarks to advertise the service or to link to the website, but any unauthorized use of the trademarks (determined in our sole discretion) is prohibited, including without limitation the use of the trademarks to advertise or link to any website not part of the service. all goodwill generated from the use of hambrigh trademarks inures to our benefit.

User License
hambrigh grants to the user a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited-in-time license to use the service, the content, and any additional applications purchased for use in connection with a store (each, an application), and to use any other of hambrigh's software required to use the service and any purchased applications. hambrigh grants the user the right to install updates to the service and purchased applications as made available to the user by hambrigh from time to time.
the user may not (i) assign, sub-license, copy, publish or distribute the service or applications, (ii) assign to any third party the rights that the user has acquired under a license under these terms of service, or (iii) circumvent any of the technical limitations of the service or applications, or decompile or otherwise reconstruct the service or applications save only to the extent and circumstances permitted by law.
the applications are store-specific. this means the user is granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited-in-time license to use an application only in relation to a certain store. if the user has other stores connected to its account, the user will be required to purchase additional applications in relation to each other store.
hambrigh reserves the rights to:

Third-Party Applications
the user may purchase or use applications provided by third parties (third-party applications). the user agrees that it won't use any third-party applications in a manner that would infringe or violate the rights of any other party.
once the user acquires a third-party application from or via hambrigh, the user is entering into a binding agreement directly with the rights holder of that third-party application (the publisher) governing the user's use of that third-party application, and hambrigh isn't a party of that agreement. the user acknowledges that the publisher is responsible for its third-party application, the content it contains, any warranties to the extent they have not been disclaimed, and any claims that the user or anyone else might have relating to that third-party application.
Indemnification
you'll defend, indemnify, and hold harmless hambrigh, our affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, and agents from any and all liabilities, claims, costs, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with any third-party action, claim, or proceeding (each, a claim) arising from your breach of this agreement, your misuse of the applications, the products, the service, the website or the content.if you are a merchant, you'll also defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ticatil from any liabilities, claims, costs, damages or expenses in connection with any user's purchase of any product you sell, any injury or loss caused by any product you sell, or any statements or representations made or omissions with respect to a product. we'll promptly notify you of any claim, provide you, at your expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the claim, and provide you with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise. notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claim that is subject to indemnification under this section, in which case you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of the claim.
Liability for Damage
among other things, this section limits our liability in the event something goes wrong with the service. any representations or warranties provided by a merchant in connection with any product are being provided by that merchant and not by us. we know it's a bit long (or, a bit long), but there's some important stuff here. please bear with us:
we make no warranties or representations about the service, the applications, the products, the website or the content. we do not promise or warrant that the applications, the website or the service will operate error-free or that the applications, the website, its servers, or the content are free of computer viruses or similar contamination or destructive features.
we disclaim all warranties, including, but not limited to, warranties of title, merchantability, non-infringement of third parties' rights, and fitness for particular purpose and any warranties arising from a course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. some states do not allow exclusions of certain warranties, so the limitations on warranties may not apply to you.
in connection with any warranty, contract, or common law tort (negligence) claims: (i) in no event will we be liable for any incidental or consequential damages or lost profits, or damages resulting from the use or inability to access and use the service, the applications, the products, the website or the content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of these damages; and (ii) any direct damages that you may suffer as a result of your use of the service, the applications, the products, the website or the content shall be limited to the monies you have paid us in connection with your use of the service during the three (3) months immediately preceding the events giving rise to the claim.
the service, the website or the content may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors or omissions. we are not responsible for any such typographical, technical, or pricing errors in the service. the service or the website may contain information on certain products and services, not all of which are available in every location. the service's reference to a product or service does not imply that such product or service is or will be available in your location. we reserve the right to make changes, corrections, and/or improvements to the service or the website at any time without notice.
for avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this agreement shall be construed in any way to limit any merchant's liability to any user in connection with any product sold to such user.
Technical Support
any support issues will be handled over email and should be sent through https://hambrigh.com/. support issues may be handled by third-party technical support providers. hambrigh offers no technical support for issues that are not directly related to the service.
Binding Arbitration
in the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this agreement, the service, or any other products or services provided by us (each, a dispute), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the federal arbitration act ("faa"). any election to arbitrate, at any time, will be final and binding on the other party. if either party chooses arbitration, neither party will have the right to litigate the dispute in court or to have a jury trial. discovery and appeal rights may also be limited in arbitration. all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the faa. any court in the state of new york may enforce the arbitrator's award. the arbitration shall be administered by the judicial arbitration and mediation services (jams) pursuant to jams' streamlined arbitration rules and procedures, if applicable, or otherwise pursuant to its comprehensive arbitration rules and procedures and in accordance with the expedited procedures in those rules (the jams rules). such disputes will be resolved by the arbitrator as determined under the jams rules. the arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. if conducted in person, the arbitration will take place in the state of new york. the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. in addition, we may litigate in court to seek injunctive relief.
Class Action Waiver
you agree that any arbitration or proceeding will be limited to the dispute between us and you individually. to the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. you agree that you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
Term
we may restrict, suspend, or terminate this agreement and your access to all or any part of the service, at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability. we may also change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the website at any time without prior notice or liability. the user may at any time terminate an account by following the proper steps on the website, but the termination of an account does not relieve the user of its obligations under this agreement. if a store or associated account is deleted, terminated, or suspended for any reason, the merchant for that store must fulfill all outstanding orders and obligations to visitors and users.
Amendments
hambrigh reserves the right, from time to time and in its sole discretion, to amend the terms of service. you should periodically check hambrigh.com, where the latest version will always be available, for any changes or updates that may impact you.
Miscellaneous
hambrigh's failure to enforce any right or provision under this agreement will not constitute a waiver of those rights and provisions or any other of hambrigh's rights under the agreement. no waiver will be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver will be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and hambrigh with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between you and hambrigh in relation to the subject matters. these terms of service shall substitute any earlier versions of terms of service between the user and hambrigh or its affiliates. the section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal meaning. this agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.
the following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this agreement: account, user responsibilities, user content, communications to us, intellectual property rights, rules for merchants, rules for buyers, fees; automatic renewals, payments, third-party applications, external sites, indemnification, liability for damages, user information and personal data, binding arbitration, class action waiver, and miscellaneous.
