Accordingly, all comments, feedback, ideas, suggestions, materials, information and other submissions disclosed, submitted or offered to us using this Website or otherwise (collectively, "Comments") are not confidential and will become and remain Victoria Hayes' property. The disclosure, submission or offer of any Comments will constitute an assignment to us of all worldwide rights, titles and interests and goodwill in the Comments without payment of any compensation. Comments submitted by you must not violate any right of any third party, and must not contain any libelous, abusive, obscene or otherwise unlawful material.
The Contents are intended solely for your personal, noncommercial use. No right, title or interest in any Contents is granted or transferred to you as a result of any such copying.

Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability and Indemnity
Except as otherwise expressly provided, this website, all contents and all products and services are provided on an "as is" basis.
We disclaim all warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not warrant that your use of this website will be uninterrupted or error free, or that this website or its server are free of viruses or other harmful elements.
Although we endeavor to provide accurate information, we do not warrant or make any representations regarding the accuracy or reliability of information on this website.
Your use of the website is at your own risk.
Neither we nor any of our affiliates, related entities, vendors or content providers shall be liable to any person or entity for any direct or indirect loss, damage (whether actual, consequential, punitive, special or otherwise), injury, claim, or liability of any kind or character whatsoever based upon or resulting from your use or inability to use this website, or any information or materials provided on the website.
We are not liable for any defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of any user.

Certain provisions of the foregoing paragraph may not apply to consumers within jurisdictions where prohibited by law.
Disputes
Please email us at customercare@victoriahayesnyc.com with any disputes or concerns.
In the event that we are unable to resolve your dispute and/or concern, you unconditionally agree that all claims relating to your access or use of our Website, including all disputes arising out of, or related to, any products or services purchased from Victoria Hayes through the Website, will be resolved entirely through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. You may also assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims otherwise qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
Note: There is no judge or jury in arbitration, no class actions, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages, and must follow these Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our counsel Einbinder & Dunn LLP, 112 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10016. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), adr.org, 1.800.778.7879. You can contact AAA to find out more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's applicable rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective action basis. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action against the other. In addition, we both agree that we each may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
This section limits certain rights, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in aaa or jams rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. Other rights that you or we would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.
Applicable Law
The law applicable to the interpretation and construction of these Terms of Use and any transaction (including purchases made on this Website) using or related to the Website, shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, but subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and other federal law relating to the arbitrability of claims. You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the Website, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of New York.
