PRIZES AND STATED DESCRIPTIONS


The estimated value of any Prizes (if applicable) represents pricing information for a corresponding Prize available elsewhere or on the Website. Prizes may have an “approximate retail value” displayed, which is determined using recent price history of the product through retailers in the United States. Prizes may have a cash alternative in lieu of a product and list corresponding fulfillment date(s) and location(s). We do not warrant that descriptions of Prizes are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. We attempt to describe our Prizes accurately, but some details for Prizes may occasionally contain errors. Your receipt of a Prize is not confirmed until we send you an e-mail confirming receipt. At any time after receipt of your entry, we may accept, decline, or place quantity or other limits on your entry for any reason. We may impose these limits on a per-person, per-household, per-order, or any other basis. If we reject, limit, or otherwise modify your receipt of a Prize for which you are eligible, we will attempt to notify you using the email address you provide to us. We may change the availability of any particular Prizes or entries without prior notice at any time. We do not offer refunds in the event of temporary or permanent price drops for entries following the purchase at higher prices. All sales of digital content are final. You should review our Returns and other applicable Policies.  


PAYING FOR YOUR ORDER


We work with third parties to provide certain functionality for the Website, including payment processing if you purchase entries. For clarity, although entries are available for purchase, no purchase is necessary. When you put entries in your cart and check out, you are interacting directly with our third party payment processing partner, and not us or the Sponsor. We do not warrant the offerings of third party providers or assume any responsibility or liability for their actions, services, or content. You should review their privacy notices and conditions of use.


Generally, we’ll charge your payment method when you place your order. You agree to pay all charges, including shipping and handling charges, incurred by users of your credit card or other payment mechanism at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You are also responsible for paying all applicable taxes relating to your purchases. If your card issuer provides us with updated information for any card whose information is stored in your account, you authorize us to use the updated information to complete a charge.

We are not responsible for, and we do not warrant any availability, contents, materials, products, or other information of any Third-Party Sites.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION


Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause will survive termination of these Terms.



Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and/or your relationship with us or with any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies, contractors, vendors, or agents of ours, including, but not limited to: (i) claims that arose before this or any prior agreement between you and us, or which may hereafter arise; (ii) claims that are the subject of prior, pending, or future purported class action litigation; and (iii) claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. Any such dispute or claim (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.


Arbitration Procedures. For all disputes or claims, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim by sending us an email at hello@mayekoo.com to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If, after providing us an opportunity to resolve the dispute, your dispute or claim has not been resolved within 60 days, then, and only then, will you have the option to continue to pursue the dispute or claim through binding arbitration or, solely to the extent provided below, in court.


The arbitration of any dispute or claim will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You and we agree that these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would. Any arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.


Costs of Arbitration. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, we will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. However, for claims under $10,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.


Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver. You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.


MISCELLANEOUS


You agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us or the Sponsor. To the extent any dispute between us is allowed to proceed in court notwithstanding the arbitration agreement in these Terms, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. A printed version of these Terms will be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and the remaining provisions will be enforced. We may assign these Terms or any of our rights or duties under them in our sole discretion. Headings are for convenience only and have no interpretive value. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Any provision that must survive in order to give proper effect to its intent (such as limitations on liability, disclaimers, representations and warranties) will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms. We reserve the right to make changes to the Website, Policies, and these Terms at any time. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post a notice of the changes. If you do not agree to any changes, you should terminate your account and stop using the Website. Your continued use of the Website following any changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. These Terms, the Policies, and all updates and amendments, collectively, constitute the entire agreement between us and you with respect to your use of the Website, and your purchase of entries through the Website.
