The date of the last revision of the Terms will appear at the top of these Terms. You are responsible for reviewing the Site periodically for any modification to these Terms. You agree that you shall be deemed to be apprised of and bound by any revisions or additions by Frette to the Terms. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE AFTER ANY SUCH CHANGES TO THE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE NEW TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU ACTUALLY REVIEWED THEM.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, FRETTE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SOLD THROUGH THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL FRETTE'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Frette, Frette's vendor partners, and their affiliates and related entities and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms or your access to or use of the Site. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive termination of these Terms and the operation of the Site or any product or service provided to you arising out of or relating to your use of the Site.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in Frette's separately posted Privacy Statement, any communication or material you transmit to Frette through the Site by electronic mail or otherwise, including without limitation any contest or sweepstakes entries, images, photographs, video files, audio files, essays, questions, comments, suggestions, any ideas for features, modifications, enhancements, refinements, products, technologies, content, offerings, promotions, strategies, or product feature names, or any related documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively, "Submissions"), is and will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and you grant to Frette, Frette’s vendor partners, and/or their respective affiliates or related entities, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license to use any Submission for any purpose, including without limitation reproduction, modification, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast, and posting, and for advertising, publicity, or promotional purposes in any media without further permission, consent, payment, or other consideration, unless prohibited by law. Frette has no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Submission, or to return to you all or part of any Submission for any reason.
You agree that any Dispute between you and Frette shall be resolved through individual arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and there is less discovery and less appellate review than in court. "Dispute" shall be interpreted broadly and shall include any claim or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or your purchase or use of any products or services, including for example any: (1) claims for relief or theories of liability, whether based in contract, tort, statute or otherwise; (2) claims that arose before this agreement; and (3) claims that arise after the cancelation or expiration of this agreement. "Dispute" shall not, however, include any issues relating to the existence, scope, or validity of this arbitration provision.
Notwithstanding anything in this arbitration provision to the contrary, either you or Frette may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim is within the jurisdiction of that court.
For all Disputes whether pursued in small claims court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to Frette North America Inc., Attn: FRETTE LEGAL, 850 Third Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10022, USA. We each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If we are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive this claim description, you may pursue your claim in arbitration (or in small claims court, if applicable).
Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Frette or our registered agent at [provide address]. You agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. The Dispute will be arbitrated by a neutral arbitrator mutually agreeable to both of us. If we cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator within 30 days of the date that the request for arbitration was received by Corporation Service Company, the Dispute will be arbitrated by JAMS arbitration services. Unless we agree to use a different set of rules, the arbitrator will use the applicable JAMS arbitration rules. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-JAMS.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PROSECUTE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. WE EACH MAY SEEK RELIEF ONLY ON BEHALF OF OURSELVES AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO REMEDY OUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS A MATERIAL AND ESSENTIAL PART OF AND CANNOT BE SEVERED FROM THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION ARE NOT ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CAN BE SEVERED FROM IT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
IF A CLAIM OR ACTION PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO, THESE TERMS, YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR, IF AVAILABLE, ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES YOU PURCHASE USING THE SITE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF EITHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED OR OTHERWISE INDICATED THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT OF A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS
Access to or use of the Site shall not be construed as the purposeful availment by Frette or any of its partners of the privilege or benefits of doing business in any state or legal jurisdiction other than the State of New York. All matters relating to the Site and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with federal copyright and trademark laws and the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
[Sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms, use of this Site, including any orders placed or products purchased on the Site if such feature is available on the Site, shall be in the federal courts located in the Southern District of New York or in the state courts located in New York County, New York.]
Frette shall not be liable for any nonperformance or delay in performance caused by any act beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts or omissions of third parties, unavailability of supplies, equipment failure, war, strikes, lock-outs, fire, flood, or any other Act of God, any law, regulation, ordinance, or other act or order of any court, government, or government agency, or delays, unavailability, errors, or other failures of the Internet or other data networks.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
No waiver by Frette of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions of the Terms.
The headings and captions in these Terms are intended for convenience only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of the Terms.
