  3. Procedural Considerations
  1. Choice of Law & Venue.  Any claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of and/or relating to these Terms & Conditions will be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York in the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.  All disputes will be arbitrated (or, if the mandatory arbitration clause herein specified is found to be invalid, litigated) in New York, New York, USA.  The Parties hereby waive any defense or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction, the inappropriateness of venue, or forum non conveniens.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that this provision is not intended to, in any manner, limit or negate the force or effect of the immediately subsequent provisions entitled “Mandatory Arbitration of Claims” and “Class Action Waiver.”  The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms & Conditions.
  2. MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS. 
  1. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT THE PARTIES WOULD HAVE IF THE PARTIES WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. 
  2. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, SUITS, MATTERS, OR CONTROVERSIES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AND/OR USE OF OUR SERVICES, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. 
  3. To the extent legally permitted, each Party shall advance its own costs, expenses, and fees in an arbitration hereunder, with reasonable fees and costs awarded to the substantially prevailing party in any arbitration arising hereunder.  Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (or if no longer in effect at the time a demand for arbitration is brought hereunder, then the rules of arbitration which are generally accepted as being the successor of the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules), except as modified by this Section 18, and before a single, neutral arbitrator to be mutually selected by the parties.  To the extent permitted by the arbitrator, the arbitrator will conduct any hearings by telephonic or video conference appearance, rather than in-person.  Any award rendered in an arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be final and binding on each of the Parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction.  This agreement to arbitrate shall be enforceable under and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq.  
  4. For qualifying claims, you may elect to pursue your claim on an individual basis in small-claims court, rather than via arbitration, provided you give Package Free written notice of your intention do so within one hundred twenty (120) days of when you first knew of or reasonably should have known of the issue underlying your claim.
  1. CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  The Parties agree to an arbitration on an individual basis.  The Parties agree that, in any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR PACKAGE FREE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS AND/OR CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.  The Parties further agree that the arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.  The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class action waiver and any thereto may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
  2. U.S. Jurisdiction.  Package Free and its properties are located in and operated from the United States.  Package Free does not intend to be subject to any non-U.S. law or jurisdiction, under any circumstances, and you agree that you shall not pursue any claims, disputes, or controversies against Package Free insofar as they subject Package Free to non-U.S. law or jurisdiction and/or originate in a jurisdiction outside of the United States.
  3. Reporting Issues to Local, State & Federal Officials.  To be clear: nothing in these Terms & Conditions, including the Mandatory Arbitration provision and other language, is intended to prevent either Party from bringing issues (including, without limitation, matters relating to Package Free, our Affiliates, these Terms & Conditions, or one or more Products) to the attention of local, state, or federal officials and/or agencies as a Party may deem appropriate.
  4. 180-Day Statutory Period for All Claims.  The Parties agree that all claims arising out of any/or relating to these Terms & Conditions shall be subject to a one (1) year statute of limitations.

  1. Miscellaneous
  1. Assignments.  Except as expressly permitted otherwise in writing by Package Free, you may not assign, delegate, sell, or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms & Conditions.  Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void.  No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms & Conditions.  Notwithstanding anything herein contrary, Package Free may freely assign, delegate, sell, and/or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms & Conditions – and any assets relating to, arising out of, and/or concerning these Terms & Conditions – including without limitation circumstances of sale, merger, acquisition, reincorporation, consolidation, reorganization, or other change of control.  These Terms & Conditions will be binding on your heirs, permitted assigns, administrators, and other legal represents, and shall inure to the benefit of Package Free and any of its successors and/or assigns.
  2. Force Majeure.  You acknowledge and agree that Package Free shall hold no liability or responsibility for any harm, damages, penalties, losses, costs, expenses, fees, or issues, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms & Conditions for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of these Terms & Conditions, that result from factors beyond the scope of our reasonable control.  This includes without limitation, acts of God, weather, the slowdown or shutdown of carriers, transportation, and/or utilities, strikes and protests, border delays, health crises and/or pandemic illnesses (including without limitation COVID-19), closures and/or lockdowns, acts of warfare and/or terrorism, and actions taken by government agencies.
  3. Severability.  If any of the terms and conditions herein – or any portion(s) of any terms or conditions – are held unenforceable, the impact of that unenforceability (i.e. limitation or exclusion of terms) will be construed as narrowly as possible to the extent permitted by law and it does not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction; moreover, the remainder of these Terms & Conditions herein – and all other portions thereof – shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent legally permissible.
  4. Translation & Headings.  Any translation of these Terms & Conditions is merely provided as a convenience. Any discrepancy or dispute involving a translated version of these Terms & Conditions and the English version thereof shall be resolved in favor of the English version.  Our headings and section titles in these Terms & Conditions are provided strictly for your convenience; they have no binding or representative effect on either Party.
  5. Non-Waiver.  No waiver under these Terms & Conditions is effective unless it is in writing, identified as a waiver to these Terms & Conditions, and signed by an authorized representative of the Party waiving its right.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that any failure by either Party to require the other’s strict adherence to any term or condition herein shall, in no manner, be construed as a waiver of any right by that Party, nor shall such a failure be construed to remove or dilute the effect of any term, condition, or requirement herein stated.  
  6. Non-Endorsement.  Although Package Free offers to sell Products manufactured and supplied by third parties, you acknowledge and agree that our listings – and any related imagery and/or information (e.g. pictures of Products; information on dimensions, weight) – do not constitute an endorsement of, or affiliation with, the Product or its manufacturer/supplier, nor do they constitute an assumption of liability or taking of responsibility as to the Product(s) in question.
  7. Construed to Reflect Intent of Parties.  Insofar as these Terms & Conditions include any errors or ambiguities related to spelling, grammar, or syntax – or any other clear errors or ambiguities – these errors and ambiguities shall be construed to reflect the intent of the Parties.  This includes, without limitation: (a) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word “and” vs. “or” vs. “and/or”; and (b) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word “including” – which shall mean “including without limitation,” rather than as point of exclusion, unless otherwise noted; (c) any  ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word “Product” vs. “Products” vs. “Product(s)” - which shall not render any language inapplicable by virtue of the fact that you do or do not possess more than one (1) Product.
  8. Legal Notices.  All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and addressed to Package Free at the address on this website and to you at your shipping address.  All Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid).  Except as otherwise provided in these Terms & Conditions, a Notice is effective only (a) upon receipt of the receiving party, and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.
  9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  These Terms & Conditions benefit solely the Parties to these Terms & Conditions and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in these Terms & Conditions, express or implied, confers on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms & Conditions.
  10. No Public Announcements.  Unless expressly permitted under these Terms & Conditions, you promise that you shall not make any statement (whether oral or in writing) in any press release, external advertising, marketing or promotion materials regarding the Products, or Package Free’s business unless it has received the express written consent of Package Free, or it is required to do so by law.
