15. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The laws applicable to the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall be the laws of the State of Washington, and applicable federal law, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) arising out of or in any way related to these Terms of Service (including the Messaging Terms and the Loyalty Terms (as defined below)) (a “Dispute”) between you and the Company or its successors or assigns shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration, unless earlier resolved in accordance with Section 15(B), below.Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution – In the event of any Dispute arising between you and the Company, one party must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by email with a delivery receipt requested (“Notice”). Company’s email address for Notice is info [at] sheerthebrand.com. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute, and set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). The parties shall first meet and confer by such method as the parties may mutually agree, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. The parties shall work together in good faith to attempt to resolve the Dispute directly for thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, or such further period as the parties may mutually agree. In the event that the Dispute is not resolved by the end of such thirty (30) day (or longer) period, then either party may commence arbitration, as further described below.Arbitration – If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through the good faith negotiation procedure set forth in Section 15(B), then you and Company agree that such Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate Disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to these Terms of Service (including the Messaging Terms and the Loyalty Terms), and your receipt of text messages or email messages from Company or its service providers, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of when a claim arises. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE MESSAGING TERMS AND THE LOYALTY TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.Exceptions – Notwithstanding the subsection above, nothing in these Terms of Service, the Messaging Terms or the Loyalty Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) seek injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) file suit on an individual basis in small claims court for applicable claims.Arbitration Process – Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be conducted before one arbitrator in Los Angeles, California or by video conference (at the claimant’s election), and will be governed by National Arbitration and Mediation’s (“NAM”) Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Rules”), as may be modified by these Terms of Service, the Messaging Terms and/or the Loyalty Terms. The NAM Rules and filing forms are available online at www.namadr.com, by calling NAM at 1-800-358-2550, or by contacting Company. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. In the event that any Dispute is held not to be arbitrable in accordance with this Section 15, each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts, as applicable, located in Chelan County Washington.

    Fees – If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Section 15, you will pay the Initial Administrative Fee in accordance with NAM’s then-applicable fee schedule. If the claim is for $15,000 or less, you agree that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the NAM Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies we previously paid to NAM pursuant to the NAM Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except as may be required by law or to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from you or us, which is made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. In addition, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law.

    No Class Actions -To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree that ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU AGAINST COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.

    Enforceability – In the event that the class action waiver in Section 15(G), above, is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Section 15 shall also be unenforceable.

16. ASSIGNMENT: The Company may assign these Terms of Service at any time to a subsidiary or parent company or to a successor to its business as part of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its business. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Service.
17. MISCELLANEOUS: These Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the Messaging Terms, the Loyalty Terms, and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site or in respect of the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and Company with respect to your access to and use of the Site and the Services and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements between you and Company (including, without limitation, any prior versions of these Terms of Service). Except for the class action waiver set forth in Section 15(G), if any other provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable laws to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Any ambiguity in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against Company as the drafting party. The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The provisions of Sections 3-8, and 11-15 shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service.

Eligible purchases, actions and other opportunities to reach Program loyalty tiers are subject to change from time to time in our discretion and will be posted on the Site, and/or may be published through other media (e.g., in emailed marketing communications, social media, etc.).

    4. Program Benefits and Rewards
       1. Program benefits are made available by us in our sole discretion. Only the Member paying for the products may accumulate such benefits. Any rewards or discounts earned through the Program have no cash value, are non-transferable, and you have no property rights in or to rewards or other Program benefits. Purchases credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if part or all of the purchase is returned or cancelled or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Program Terms. The sale, barter, transfer, or assignment of any rewards or benefits offered through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited.
       2. We reserve the right to change Program benefits, how you reach each Program tier, and how we evaluate and reward your eligible purchases and/or other Program activity. We reserve the right to place limits on the number of purchases or activities that are eligible for the Program and/or for any given tier level, the number or types of rewards or benefits you may receive or earn in any given tier, in a given time period or for the duration of the Program, and/or any combination thereof.
       3. If you have concerns that a purchase or other activity was not properly applied to your account, you should contact Customer Service through the e-mail form on the “Contact Us” or email info [at] sheerthebrand.com. Your email must specify your name and email address associated with the Program, the date of the Program activity, and the issue(s) you encountered. This email must be sent no more than forty-five (45) days after the date the purchase or other Program activity took place. We are not responsible for late notifications about purchases or other Program activities not being credited to an account.

       1. Unless you have opted-out of receiving marketing communications, we may communicate with you about the Program through email and text notifications, including with respect to special Member promotions, offers, and more.

       2. You may opt-out of receiving such marketing emails or texts at any time by following the instructions provided in the email or as otherwise provided in our Privacy Policy.

       1. The Program and its benefits are offered at our sole discretion. We may, in our discretion, cancel, modify, restrict or terminate these Loyalty Terms, and/or the Program or any aspect or feature of the Program at any time without prior notice, even though such changes may affect the value of rewards or benefits already accumulated or earned and/or the ability to redeem accumulated rewards or benefits.
       2. We reserve the right to exclude you from or to discontinue your participation in the Program and to audit your membership account at any time, in our sole discretion. Any suspected abuse of the Program (including, without limitation, purchases by resellers), failure to follow any Loyalty Terms, membership inactivity (i.e., no purchases made) for more than 24 months, illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation or other conduct inconsistent with these Loyalty Terms and/or detrimental to us or our interests, including without limitation, any suspected illegal, fraudulent or other unauthorized use of any Program rewards may result in the revocation of your membership and make you ineligible for further participation in the Program. If your membership is revoked, any rewards or benefits in your account will automatically expire and your access to the Program and features will automatically terminate. If we suspect illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or violation of these Loyalty Terms, we also have the right to take appropriate legal action, in our sole discretion.
