Terms of Use

That Will Never Work, Inc. (dba Zest) (“Zest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes you. We invite you to access and use our online services (“Services”), subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Terms of Use”).

BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY (THE “PRIVACY POLICY”, TOGETHER WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE “AGREEMENT”), WHICH IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.  

THE SECTIONS BELOW TITLED “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS ACTION WAIVER” CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.  PLEASE READ THEM.‍

If you accept or agree to this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to the Agreement and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, discontinue, or terminate the Services, or to modify the Agreement, at any time and without prior notice.  If we modify the Agreement, we will post the modification on the Services.  By continuing to access or use the Services after we have posted a modification on the Services, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Agreement. If the modified Agreement is not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Services.

Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of use shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Services enable a person (the “Gift Sender”) to select and purchase a gift for another person (the “Gift Recipient”) from ecommerce store(s) operated by merchants (each, a “Merchant Store”) that have entered into an agreement with Zest (each, a “Merchant”). The Gift Sender may select one or more products that are available for purchase on the Merchant Store (each, a “Product”) as a gift for the Gift Recipient. Once the Gift Recipient accepts the Product selected by the Gift Sender, the Product shall be called as the “Gift”. The Gift Sender can select the manner in which the Gift Sender would like to notify the Gift Recipient about the Gift which may include but shall not be limited to, text message, or sharing a link. The Services may allow the Gift Sender to give the Gift Recipient a chance to confirm or swap their Gift.

Upon receipt of the Gift notice, the Gift Recipient may need to accept the Gift. The Gift Recipient may have the option to swap the Gift, if the option is selected by the Gift Sender. Once the Gift Recipient accepts the Gift, the Gift Recipient may be asked to provide his/her shipping information and contact information to receive updates about the Gift. Once the Gift Recipient provides this information, the Gift Sender shall receive a notification to complete payment for the Gift. The Gift Sender is solely responsible for paying for the Gift by completing the payment on the Merchant Store.

Zest is not responsible or liable for any incorrect contact or other information provided by the Gift Sender or the Gift Recipient.

2. MERCHANT RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree that the Merchant is solely responsible for: (i) the Products made available by Merchant on the Merchant Stores; (ii) collecting payment and related taxes with respect to the Products selected by the Gift Sender; (iii) processing any returns or exchanges and handling any complaints or inquiries from the Gift Senders and Gift Recipients, including but not limited to, any defects or other issues with respect to the Products; and (iv) shipping the Gifts to the Gift Recipients. Merchant shall be solely responsible for handling any questions or complaints relating to the Products, including but not limited to, any payment and shipping issues, returns or exchanges, and Product defects and all such questions or complaints should be directed to the Merchant, not Zest. The provision of Products shall be subject to Merchant’s terms and conditions, including but not limited to, Merchant’s shipping policy and returns policy.

13. BINDING ARBITRATION

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or any other products or services provided by us (each, a “Dispute”), such dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).  NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION.  ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.  All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.  The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules.  Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.  The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside.  The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.  The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.  As set forth in Section 13 below, nothing in these Terms of Use will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

14. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

15. EQUITABLE RELIEF

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms of Use. We may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms of Use, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above.

16. MISCELLANEOUS

If the Agreement is terminated in accordance with the termination provision in Section 10 above, such termination shall not affect the validity of the following provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect:  “Intellectual Property,” “Feedback,” “No Warranties; Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” “Compliance with Applicable Laws,” “Termination,” “Binding Arbitration, “Class Action Waiver,” and “Miscellaneous.”

This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer or employee of the other.  Neither party shall have, or hold itself out to any third party as having, any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.

Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement.  No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.  Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter.  The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.
