PURCHASING PRODUCTS FROM PROMISE GURU.
6.1 Product Representations. Promise Guru reserves the right, without prior notice, to discontinue or change specifications and prices on products without incurring any obligation to you. Promise Guru takes reasonable precautions to try to ensure that the prices quoted on the Promise Guru Service are correct, and to describe the items available on the Promise Guru Service as accurately as possible and to depict the most up to date packaging. However, when ordering products, please note that Promise Guru does not warrant that product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free, or that product packaging depicted on the Promise Guru Service will match the actual product that you receive. If a product described on the Promise Guru Service is not as described when you receive it, or the packaging on the Promise Guru Service does not match the product you receive, your sole remedy is to return it to us in an unused and undamaged condition in accordance with our Return Policy, which is listed on the Site. Promise Guru’s descriptions of, or references to, products not owned by Promise Guru do not imply endorsement of that product, or constitute a warranty by Promise Guru.
6.2 Pricing Errors and Omissions. Please be aware that prices, availability and other purchase terms are subject to change without prior notice. We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information on the Promise Guru Service and to correct errors once discovered. Promise Guru reserves the right to revoke any stated offer in order to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including after an order has been submitted, even if it has been confirmed or your credit card has been charged. If we discover an error has occurred after your credit card has been charged and your order is canceled as a result of the error, your credit card will be refunded the full amount of your order.
6.3 Order Placement and Acceptance. If you order a product, payment must be received by Promise Guru prior to Promise Guru’s acceptance of the order. Promise Guru may require additional information regarding your order if you have not provided all of the information required, and may cancel or limit an order any time after it has been placed.
Your order is expressly conditioned on acceptance of these Terms. Once a properly completed order, your authorization and a form of payment has been received, we will promptly locate the item(s) you have ordered to place them in line for shipment. All items are subject to availability. We will promptly inform you if the product(s) you have ordered are not available and we may offer you alternative product(s) of equal quality and value.
Unless otherwise agreed by Promise Guru in its sole discretion, Promise Guru does not accept orders from dealers, wholesalers, or customers who intend to resell items offered on the Promise Guru Service. If Promise Guru discovers that you are placing orders with the intent to resell items offered on the Promise Guru Service, we will immediately cancel your order, suspend or terminate your Account, and pursue any and all available legal remedies from you under applicable law. To the extent your conduct may be fraudulent, such as purchasing products through the use of fake or stolen cards, Promise Guru may report you to law enforcement authorities.
6.4 Shipping and Risk of Loss. Promise Guru may add applicable shipping and handling fees to your order in accordance with its shipping and handling terms. Unless otherwise noted, Promise Guru will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship products within a reasonable time after receipt of your properly completed order. Although Promise Guru may provide delivery or shipment timeframes or dates, you understand that those are Promise Guru’s good-faith estimates and may be subject to change. You further understand that product availability may be limited and particular products may not be available for immediate delivery, in which case the products will be delivered when they become available. If your order will be delayed (either from the date specified at the time of order or, if no date was specified, beyond thirty days from the date of your order) Promise Guru will use good faith efforts to contact you. If Promise Guru cannot contact you or you no longer wish to receive the item, Promise Guru will cancel the order and promptly refund the amount tendered, and will do so within seven business days if made using a credit card. Promise Guru shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense related to any delay in shipment or delivery. All items purchased from the Promise Guru Service are delivered to shipment carriers. The risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. Promise Guru may reject orders where the stated delivery address is outside the United States.
6.5 Sales and Other Taxes. Promise Guru collects taxes on sales of some kinds of products shipped to certain jurisdictions, and on sales of some kinds of services provided to certain jurisdictions. Some taxing authorities also require the taxable amount to include any shipping and handling charges, while others tax only merchandise.
6.6 Payment Information. In ordering products through the Promise Guru Service, by telephone, or otherwise, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current, and complete payment information. By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you will only provide payment information which is yours or for which you are authorized to provide. Promise Guru shall have the right to cancel your order or to suspend or terminate your Account if we have grounds to believe that you have provided inaccurate, not current, fraudulent, or incomplete payment information to Promise Guru, or for any other reason that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate. You agree that your placement of an electronic order on the Promise Guru Service is sufficient to satisfy any applicable statute of frauds, and no further writing is required.
6.7 International Orders. Promise Guru does not directly sell certain Promise Guru products in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, as these products may not be approved for sale in other jurisdictions.
6.8 Automatic Renewal Terms. If you are placing an order online or by telephone as part of our automatic renewal program, your membership in the program will remain in effect until it is cancelled. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate your membership in the program at any time without notice to you.
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF OUR AUTOMATIC RENEWAL PROGRAM AND YOU HAVE PROVIDED US WITH A VALID CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR AN ALTERNATE PAYMENT METHOD, EACH SHIPMENT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSED AT THE TIME OF EACH SUCCESSIVE SHIPMENT AND/OR INSTALLMENT AND WILL BE BILLED TO THE PAYMENT METHOD YOU PROVIDED TO US AT THE TIME OF YOUR INITIAL PURCHASE AND ENROLLMENT. IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL YOUR PARTICIPATION IN OUR AUTOMATIC RENEWAL PROGRAM, YOU MAY DO SO BY CALLING A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS LISTED ON THE WEBSITE UNDER CUSTOMER SERVICE.
You are obligated to provide current, complete, and accurate information for your billing account. You are responsible for promptly updating all information to keep your billing account current, complete, and accurate (e.g., change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date). You must promptly notify us if your credit card information is cancelled or is no longer valid (e.g., loss or theft). Changes to such information can be made by calling a customer service representative at the telephone numbers listed on the Promise Guru Service under Contact Information below. If you are participating in our automatic renewal program using a credit card and your credit card fails to process for a subsequent shipment, Promise Guru may convert your account to a pay-by-check plan. If your account has been converted to a pay-by-check plan, you will receive an invoice along with your shipment. Invoiced items not paid within 30 days of receipt will be considered past due and Promise Guru will send you communications to collect past due balances. If you fail to timely update your credit card information or fail to timely pay by check, your membership in our automatic renewal program may be terminated and your account may be sent for collection.
6.9 Return/Refund Policy. You may return items in accordance with the Return Policy instructions that accompany your product shipments or, if you are uncertain about your right to return the product, you may also call Customer Service at +1 (800) 785.6070 for assistance.

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
(a) Generally. Arbitration is a method of resolving a Claim without filing a lawsuit. “Claim” means any dispute between you, Promise Guru, and/or any involved third party relating to your Account, your use of the Promise Guru Service, your relationship with Promise Guru, your purchase or use of any Promise Guru product, or these Terms. This includes any and all claims that relate in any way to your attempted use of Promise Guru products, and any act or omission by Promise Guru or any third party related to your use or attempted use of Promise Guru products. You, Promise Guru, or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. Promise Guru agrees to binding arbitration should it have any Claims against you. Likewise, you agree to binding arbitration should you have any Claims against Promise Guru. By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to binding arbitration. This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to binding arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.
(b) Exceptions to Binding Arbitration. As an exception to binding arbitration, you and Promise Guru both retain the right to pursue, in a small claims court, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (e.g. non-class) basis. Promise Guru will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the claim is pending only in that court.
(c) Mandatory Pre-Dispute Procedures. You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any Claim (subject to the exceptions above) against Promise Guru, you will first give Promise Guru an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us, including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely. You may send the written description to Promise Nutritionals, Inc., 609 Deep Valley Drive, Suite 200, Rolling Hills, CA 90274, Attn: General Counsel. You agree to negotiate with Promise Guru in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within sixty (60) days after Promise Guru’s receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
(d) Commencement of Arbitration. You and Promise Guru agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within one (1) year after the Claim arises (including the mandatory pre-dispute procedures outlined above) and that any proceeding commenced after one (1) year shall be barred.
(e) Arbitration Location. For your convenience, the arbitration may be conducted in the federal district where you reside. It may be held by telephone or through written submissions if both you and Promise Guru agree.
(f) Sponsoring Organization, Rules and the Arbitrator. You agree that any Claims shall be resolved by submitting the dispute to final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator who is a retired judge or an experienced attorney with experience in the subject(s) of the Claim. The arbitrator shall be chosen according to JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (currently located at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/) and the arbitration rules of the selected tribunal shall apply. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms including this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or Promise Guru.
(g) Arbitration Fees. Promise Guru shall pay for all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for an arbitration initiated by either party. The parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses.
(h) Arbitration Award. The arbitrator shall follow substantive law and may order any relief if permitted by law. The arbitrator may award any form of individual relief, including injunctions and punitive damages, so long as they are in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator may award costs or fees to a prevailing party, but only if the law expressly allows it. Although Promise Guru may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses under some laws if it prevails, Promise Guru agrees that it will not seek such an award, unless your Claims are determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or malicious. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the arbitrator’s ability to award remedies provided by applicable law. Any award rendered shall include a written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.
(i) Miscellaneous. Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular Claims will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. This provision is the entire arbitration agreement between you and Promise Guru and shall not be modified except in writing by Promise Guru.
(j) Amendments. Promise Guru reserves the right to amend this arbitration provision at any time. Your continued use of the Promise Guru Service, purchase of a Promise Guru product, or use or attempted use of a Promise Guru product, is affirmation of your consent to such changes. Should the changes to this arbitration provision be material, Promise Guru will provide you notice and an opportunity to opt-out. Your continued use of the Promise Guru Service, purchase of a Promise Guru product, or use or attempted use of a Promise Guru product, is affirmation of your consent to such material changes.
(k) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce these Terms, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(l) Severability. If any part or parts of this arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 11.2 (this “Arbitration Agreement”) are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply.
(m) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the Claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these arbitration provisions.
(n) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Promise Guru.
(o) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief from a court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under these arbitration provisions.
(p) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to these arbitration provisions.
(q) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration provisions permit the parties to litigate in court, (i) the parties hereby submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California, for such purpose; and (ii) this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of law principles.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE OF THE PROMISE GURU SERVICE, OR FROM PURCHASE, USE, OR ATTEMPTED USE OF A PROMISE GURU PRODUCT (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST), AS THE CASE MAY BE, BY WRITING TO PROMISE NUTRITIONALS, INC., 609 DEEP VALLEY DRIVE, SUITE 200, ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274, ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL.
