a. Purchasing and Redemption. By purchasing Gift Cards through the Site, you certify and represent to MM. LaFleur that the activities in connection with which the Gift Cards will be used will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and that the Gift Cards will not be used in any manner that is misleading, deceptive, unfair, or otherwise harmful to consumers or MM. LaFleur, including its investors, officers, employees, agents, servants, assignees, subsidiaries, or any other MM. LaFleur-related entity. If the Gift Card is purchased for an individual other than you, the recipient of the Gift Card will be mailed the Gift Card to address you provide during the purchase. In the event the recipient does not have an Account at the time of receiving the Gift Card, they will be prompted to create an Account in order to redeem the Gift Card. An Account is required in order to purchase or redeem a Gift Card.

You may purchase Gift Cards for any value between $50 and $3,000 US dollars. The amount of the Gift Card you purchase will be charged to you according to your selected payment option when you confirm the purchase of the Gift Card. Personal information that you provide in connection with the purchase or redemption of Gift Cards will be governed by the MM. LaFleur Privacy Policy. Gift Cards may only be redeemed toward the purchase of eligible products on the Site. Redemption of Gift Cards on the Site is subject to change in MM. LaFleur’s sole discretion. Purchases are deducted from the Gift Card balance. Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient’s MM. LaFleur Account when redeemed. If an order exceeds the amount of the Gift Card, the balance must be paid with a credit card or other payment method accepted by MM. LaFleur. You may be able to obtain your gift card balance by contacting MM. LaFleur customer service at bonjour@mmlafleur.com. The Gift Card balance relayed to you by a MM. LaFleur customer service agent is an estimate only. In most cases, the balance is adjusted immediately when you make a purchase online, but there may be occasions when the updated balance is delayed for a period of time. Gift Cards never expire AND THERE IS NO DORMANCY FEE.

b. Use and Limitations. Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards. To the fullest extent of the law, Gift Cards cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value, redeemed for cash, or applied to any other account. Unused Gift Card balances in an Account may not be transferred. Unless otherwise required by law, Gift Cards are not returnable or refundable for cash. If applicable law permits the card-holder cash-out a Gift Card, such request may be made to bonjour@mmlafleur.com. To the fullest extent of the law, Gift Cards may not be sold or bartered to third parties. Gift Cards may be used as personal or business gifts, but may not be used in connection with any marketing, advertising, or other promotional activities (including without limitation via Sites, Internet advertisements, email, telemarketing, direct mail, newspaper and magazine advertisements, and radio and television broadcasts) unless you obtain MM. LaFleur’s prior written approval. Use of MM. LaFleur’s name, logo, trade dress (including any image/likeness of the Gift Cards) or trademarks (or those of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) in connection with the purchase or use of MM. LaFleur Gift Cards is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, the use of MM. LaFleur Gift Cards in any manner that states or implies that any person, Site, business, product, or service is endorsed or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated with, MM. LaFleur, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is prohibited.

c. Risk of Loss; Fraud. If your Gift Card is lost or stolen, immediately contact customer service at bonjour@mmlafleur.com. Your Gift Card will be cancelled and after an internal investigation, we will issue a new Gift Card with the remaining balance, if any. Lost or stolen Gift Cards cannot be replaced without the original confirmation email sent to the email account provided to MM. LaFleur. MM. LaFleur and its affiliates will have no liability to you for lost or stolen Gift Cards, or use of any Gift Cards by third parties through your Account that is not attributable to the negligence or misconduct of MM. LaFleur. You are responsible for keeping the username and password for your Account safe and for any activity conducted under your Account that is not attributable to the negligence or misconduct of MM. LaFleur. Notwithstanding the above, the risk of loss and title for Gift Cards pass to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the purchaser, recipient, or delivery to the carrier, whichever is first and/or applicable. The Gift Cards never expire, nor is there a dormancy fee, but we are not responsible if a Gift Card is lost, stolen, destroyed, or used without your permission for reasons not attributable to the negligence or intentional or reckless misconduct of MM. LaFleur.

d. Issuer. Gift Cards are issued by MM. LaFleur, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

We have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we or the third party payment processing service provider that we engage will immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge and you agree that a credit is your sole remedy.

11. BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. You acknowledge and understand that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth in sections 9 and 10 form an essential basis of the agreement between the parties hereto, that the parties have relied upon such disclaimers and limitations of liability, and that absent such disclaimers and limitations of liability, the terms and conditions of this Agreement would be substantially different.

12. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MM. LaFleur, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Indemnified Parties” ) from any and all liabilities, claims, expenses and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way related to your breach of this Agreement, your use of the Site or in connection with your Account or any other person’s use or access to your Account, with or without your permission. This provision does not require you to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party, or for such party’s negligence, intentional or reckless misconduct, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or omission of any material fact in connection with the Site. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, this Agreement, or your access to the Site.

13. EXTERNAL LINKS. This Site may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for the operation of or content located on or through any such site.

14. EXCLUSIVE VENUE. To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and MM. LaFleur agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in either a small claims court of competent jurisdiction or the state or federal courts located in New York, New York.

15. Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires you to arbitrate disputes with MM. LaFleur and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services, to any Products sold or distributed through the Site, or to any aspect of your relationship with MM. LaFleur, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (ii) you or MM. LaFleur may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH MM. LAFLEUR, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST MM. LAFLEUR ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST MM. LAFLEUR IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

b. Arbitration Rules and Forum.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Registered Agent Solutions, Inc., 1679 S Dupont Hwy Ste 100, Dover, DE 19901. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.   Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, MM. LaFleur will pay them for you. In addition, MM. LaFleur will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, MM. LaFleur will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

c. Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and MM. LaFleur. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. 

d. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND MM. LAFLEUR HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and MM. LaFleur are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15.1 above.  An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
 
e. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.

f. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: MM. LaFleur Inc., 100 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10005, or by email at bonjour@mmlafleur.com within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your MM. LaFleur username (if any), the email address you used to set up your MM. LaFleur Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

g. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

h. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with MM. LaFleur.

i. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if MM. LaFleur makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to MM. LaFleur.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.

a. Severability/Waiver. Subject to Section 15(e), if any these provisions will be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision. No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement will impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived only in writing and only by the party that is entitled to the benefits of the term(s) or condition(s) being waived.

LaFleur’ dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to MM. LaFleur at the following address: MM. LaFleur Inc., 100 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10005.
