SECTION 13 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of our Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable.

We constantly change and improve our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features at any time without notice to you, and we may suspend or stop offering the Services altogether without notice to you.

You expressly agree your use of, or inability to use, the Services is at your sole risk. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Services and all products and services delivered to you through the Services are (except as expressly stated by us) provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

In no case shall The Olive Branch Candle Co our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the Services or any products or services procured using the Services, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Services or any products or services procured using the Services, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Services or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Services, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms of Service shall affect any non-waivable statutory rights that apply to you.

SECTION 14 - INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless The Olive Branch Candle Co, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

SECTION 15 – AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

In the event of any dispute (other than one that is limited to adjudicating small claims) between you and the Company that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Service, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of the Company or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services, you and the Company consent to arbitrate that dispute before a single arbitrator under the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in a location near the closest AAA office to you or remotely if one is not reasonably convenient to you or the Company, rather than litigate the dispute in court. You and the Company also agree the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitrability of all disputes between you and the Company. If you do not want to be bound by this arbitration provision, you must notify the Company in writing by email to hello@theolivebranchcandleco.com within 30 days of the date you first agree to the Terms of Service, stating you do not want to resolve disputes with the Company by arbitration.

YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF SOUGHT BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT BE GRANTED TO OR AFFECT OTHER USERS. The arbitrator shall interpret and determine the validity of the arbitration provision, including unconscionability. If the arbitrator or a court decides applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim or a particular request for a remedy (such as a request for injunctive relief), then that claim or that remedy request (and only that claim or that remedy request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court (pursuant to Section 20 below), subject to your and Company's right to appeal the court's decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.

Notwithstanding the parties' agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction and on an individual (non-class) basis only. If a party initiates an arbitration asserting a claim that falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, the other party may, in its discretion, require the arbitration demand be withdrawn and the claim be filed in a small claims court. Any dispute about whether a claim falls within any given small claims court's jurisdiction will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such jurisdictional dispute, the arbitration proceeding will remain closed unless and until the small claims court issues a decision that the claim should proceed in arbitration.

If an arbitrator or court decides any part of this Section 16 is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section 16 shall still apply. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms of Service shall affect any non-waivable statutory rights that apply to you. To the extent any claim, dispute or controversy regarding the Services isn’t arbitrable under applicable laws or otherwise, you agree such claim or dispute regarding the Services will be resolved exclusively in accordance with Section 20 of these Terms of Service.

SECTION 16 - SEVERABILITY 

In the event any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 17 - TERMINATION

These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our Site.

If in our sole judgment you fail, or we suspect you have failed, to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Service, we may terminate this agreement at any time without notice, which may include denying or restricting your access to the Services (or any part thereof). You will remain liable for any and all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.

For avoidance of doubt, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that sections 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 27, and 28 will survive any such termination.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
