Terms and Conditions

BlissBounce Socks Terms and Conditions of Use

Effective Date: October 16, 2023     

Hello, and welcome to BlissBounce Socks!  

Before we embark on this cozy journey together, we've got some things we'd like to share as we think this one is pretty important for you and for us.  

To try to make this agreement easier to read, we use capitalized terms throughout these Terms – they’re either defined below or defined in our Privacy Policy.  To start, to be less formal, we call ourselves “BlissBounce Socks” or “we”, and we call you, well, “you”.

Before you use our website (www.blissbouncesocks.com) or any of our other digital properties (we call such website and digital properties, together, “Site”) or any of the services operated by and products sold by BlissBounce Socks (we call such services and products, together, “Services”), please read not only these BlissBounce Socks Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”), but also our Privacy Policy and the BlissBounce Socks Text Messaging Terms and Conditions (if applicable to your use of the Services), and, if you decide to purchase any of our Services (and we really hope you do!), each of the “guarantees” (including our “Happiness Guarantee”), “policies” (including our “Return Policy”, but excluding, for purposes of clarification, our Privacy Policy), and “program” terms applicable to such purchase set forth on our Site (that’s a mouthful, so we call those guarantees, policies, and program terms, together, “BlissBounce Socks Policies”).

These Terms represent a legal agreement between you and us, govern the use of our Site and Services, and are binding for all users of our Site and Services.  By using our Site and Services, you agree that: (a) your use of our Site and Services are and will be subject to these Terms; and (b) you will comply with and be bound by these Terms.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – THESE TERMS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.  AMONG OTHER THINGS, SECTION 5 OF THESE TERMS PROVIDES THAT, IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE A CLAIM AGAINST OR DISPUTE WITH BLISSBOUNCE SOCKS: YOU WILL FIRST REACH OUT TO US AND GIVE US 60 DAYS TO TRY TO WORK IT OUT; IF YOU AND WE CAN’T WORK IT OUT IN THAT TIME, SUCH DISPUTE MUST BE SETTLED BY AN ARBITRATOR; AND YOU CAN’T MAKE OR JOIN A “CLASS ACTION” CLAIM.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR SITE OR SERVICES.

  1. SERVICES AND TRANSACTIONS.
    1. General.
      1. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, you may access and use our Site and Services, including to make purchases of our products.

          1. You will comply with all obligations with respect to each purchase made by you through our Site or Services, including all financial obligations and terms and conditions with respect to the applicable credit card account, debit card account, and/or other payment/financial account/service through which you may be charged for and/or otherwise responsible for such purchase.  In addition, please note that other parties (such as your applicable credit card provider and/or third-party payment service, such as Afterpay) may enforce their terms and conditions directly with you, and we are not a party to any of those terms and conditions.
          2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, and without limiting any of BlissBounce Socks’s rights hereunder, we may, in our sole discretion, (I) refuse or cancel any order you place with us and/or any of our Services, (II) adjust any of your orders to ensure compliance with these Terms, and/or (III) limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order, including, in each case, orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.  Each of the foregoing may apply to orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card number, debit card number, or other payment/financial account number, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.  In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made.  
          3. While we’re extremely honored that you may want to use BlissBounce Socks products for personal and/or corporate branding purposes, we prohibit the unauthorized placement of other trademarks, logos, images and designs on our products.

          8. Except as prohibited by applicable law, we can revoke a Code or Program at any time for any reason and we may change the expiration period of any Code or Program.  Your abuse of a Code or Program, or your failure to abide by any of these Terms or by any of the terms and conditions of any particular Code or Program, may lead to cancellation of your current Codes and Programs and/or your disqualification from participation in future Codes and Programs. 
          9. If we determine that there is abuse of a Code or Program offer for a specific order before that order is fulfilled, we may cancel the Code and/or Program offer and declare the order invalid with no obligation to fulfill it. 
          10. Codes and Programs may not be combined and must be used on a per purchase basis. 
          11. If you received a Gift Card or Code that seems is no longer working but that you do not believe has expired, please reach out to info@blissbouncesocks.com for assistance.

      1. If you have a claim, cause of action, or dispute, you must contact us first, so that you and we can try to resolve the matter.  You agree to give us 60 days to try to resolve the dispute before requesting arbitration. 
      2. In case of any disputes between us that cannot be resolved through informal discussions,you and we hereby agree that, subject to the provisions of this section, any and all claims (including tort claims), causes of action, and/or disputes under, arising out of, or relating to these Terms (each, a “Claim”) shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the relevant rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (as modified by, and subject to, these Terms) such rules, as so modified, “AAA Rules”); provided, however, that: Claims arising out of or relating to your violations of BlissBounce Socks’s intellectual property rights, including copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, or efforts to interfere with our Site or Services in unauthorized ways (each, an “IP Claim”) shall not be subject to such obligation for settlement by final and binding arbitration.  The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be non-appealable and may be entered in, and shall be enforceable in, any court of competent jurisdiction.  
  • The arbitration shall take place in the County and State of New York; provided that you and we may participate in the arbitration by phone, by video, or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator.  Arbitration of any Claim(s) shall be subject to the AAA Rules, and shall be administered by the AAA.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, rules, and regulations: (A) any evidentiary submission(s) made in arbitration shall be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure; and (B) you and we agree not to disclose the contents of the arbitrator’s decision(s) to any third party (except as required by law, rule, or regulation, or for the purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award).  
  1. Each party will bear its own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees).
  2. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Claim cannot be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d), then only that particular Claim (each, a “Non-Arbitrable Claim”) and any IP Claim(s) may be brought in court; all Claims other than Non-Arbitrable Claims and IP Claims not sought to be arbitrated remain subject to the provisions of Section 5(d)(ii) above.  THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ALL NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS (AS DEFINED ABOVE) AND FOR ALL IP CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5(d)(ii) ABOVE) NOT SOUGHT TO BE ARBITRATED SHALL BE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN THE COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK; WITH RESPECT TO NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS (AS DEFINED ABOVE) AND SUCH IP CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5(d)(ii) ABOVE), YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL DEFENSES OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS.  Nothing in this Agreement (including in this Section 5(d)) shall limit the ability of either you or us to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  3. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis, or damages in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, or order injunctive or declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.  If any portion of this Section 5(d) is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect. This arbitration clause will continue to be valid even if these Terms are no longer valid for any reason.
  • You must contact us within one year of the date of the event or facts giving rise to a Claim, or you will have waived the right to pursue a Claim based on such event or facts. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement.  All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of the arbitration provisions of these Terms or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions.  If any of these dispute resolution provisions is found unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, and the balance of the dispute resolution provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
  1. Class Action Waiver.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (II) YOU MAY BRING A CLAIM(S) (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 5(d)(ii) ABOVE) AGAINST BLISSBOUNCE SOCKS ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.  FOR PURPOSE OF CLARIFICATION, YOU CANNOT MAKE “CLASS ACTION” CLAIMS. The arbitrator cannot group your Claim(s) with any other claims, causes of action, or disputes.
  2. Indemnification.  You hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless BlissBounce Socks, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or relating to your violation or alleged violation of these Terms.

    3.

    5. We may post links to other websites or services.  We cannot control the content of other websites or services, and we are not responsible for the content of, or any of the products or services provided through, those websites or services.  Our linking to such websites or services does not constitute or represent, and shall not be deemed to constitute or represent, our agreement with or endorsement of the content, products, services, or owners or providers of those websites or services. 
    6. BlissBounce Socks will not be liable for any acts or omissions resulting from circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control.
