TERMS & CONDITIONS

  • THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Terms”) ARE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION BELOW.


    READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY ARE A LEGAL CONTRACT GOVERNING YOUR USE OF THE HONEYBIRDETTE.COM/US.HONEYBIRDETTE.COM/UK.HONEYBIRDETTE.COM/EU.HONEYBIRDETTE.COM WEBSITE AND ANY MOBILE-OPTIMIZED WEBSITE, MOBILE APPLICATION, OR OTHER ONLINE SERVICE ALLOWING ACCESS THERETO (collectively, the “Site”) PROVIDED BY HONEY BIRDETTE (AUST) PTY LTD AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES (collectively, “Honey Birdette,” “we,” or “us,” or “our”).


    By visiting our Site and/or purchasing something offered on the Site, you agree to be bound to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. All references to “you” or “your,” as applicable, mean any person, vendor, merchant, browser, or other entity who accesses, uses, and/or engages with the Site in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns, and successors. We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and/or changes to our Site. It is your responsibility to regularly review this page. The most current version of these Terms will supersede all previous versions. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of any amended Terms shall constitute your agreement to be bound by any such changes. Your use of the Site prior to the time these Terms were posted will be governed according to the Terms that applied at the time of your use. We reserve the right to deny you access to the Site if you violate these Terms.


    Eligibility. The Site is intended solely for persons who are 18 years old or older. Any access to or use of the Site by anyone under the age of 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site you represent and warrant that you are 18 years old or older. Furthermore, you agree to be of the legal age required by the state of your residence when purchasing applicable products from our site. It is your responsibility to determine if you can legally buy certain products (“Products”) from the Site which may include, for example, hemp-derived CBD products or smoking accessory products that may be available for purchase. You may not use our Products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.


    Transactions and E-CommerceDuring your visit to the Site, you may elect to engage in a transaction involving the purchase of Products or any applicable services that may be offered. Credit card transactions and order fulfillment of Products are often handled by a third-party processing agent, bank or distribution institution. While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as perfect security on the Internet or offline. If you are concerned about online credit card safety, in most cases a telephone number will be made available so you can call us and place your order by phone. Honey Birdette, its parent and its affiliates, cannot and do not take responsibility for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties. We reserve the right to refuse any order for Products that you may attempt to purchase from the Site. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or otherwise. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. Should we make any change or cancel your order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email or phone number provided at the time your order was made. You represent to us that any information you provide in connection with purchasing Products from the Site, or otherwise engaging with the Site will be correct, complete, and accurate in all respects.


    Products and Accuracy of InformationCertain Products may be available exclusively online through the Site, and/or may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our refund or return policy. On occasion, a Product may not be available at the time or the price as it appears in an advertisement or other material in the Site. In such event, or in the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error, technology error, error in the date or length of publication, error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers or suppliers, or for any other reason, you agree that we are not responsible for such errors or discrepancies. We reserve the right to limit the sales of our Products to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. All descriptions of Products and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion.  We reserve the right to discontinue sales of any Product at any time. Any offer for any Product made on this Site is void in any state, province, or other jurisdiction where prohibited.

    These Terms and the relationship between you and the Site shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law provisions.


    MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

    You and Honey Birdette agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

    This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.  The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
    By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Honey Birdette as follows:


    Initial Dispute Resolution
    Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. You can reach us at honey@honeybirdette.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration (except with respect to the exceptions set forth below).


    Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty  (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at   www.jamsadr.com  ); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, California 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Honey Birdette (Aust) Pty Ltd c/o PLBY Group, Inc. at 10960 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 2200 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Attn: General Counsel.

    To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Honey Birdette will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Honey Birdette will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

    The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

    If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Los Angeles County in the State of California, United States of America, and you and Honey Birdette agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.


    Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.  YOU AND HONEY BIRDETTE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis.


    Exception. Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims:
    Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
