Delivery Policy

Delivery Area and Schedule: We deliver only to addresses within our Serviced Areas. Deliveries are made weekly on the specific day assigned to your zip code during the ordering process. Delivery times are typically between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, but these times are estimates and not guaranteed.

Delivery Procedure: Meals are delivered fresh and chilled in insulated cooler bags containing ice packs designed to maintain a safe temperature for a limited time. By special arrangement, our delivery driver may be able to stock your refrigerator directly if access is provided. We adhere to applicable food safety transportation guidelines to protect food from contamination during transit.
-
Unattended Deliveries: If you are not home at the time of delivery, you authorize us to leave the delivery at a specified, secure location (e.g., front porch, designated area). Our cooler supplies are intended to maintain a safe temperature for a maximum of three hours under typical conditions. It is your sole responsibility to retrieve the delivery promptly and properly refrigerate the meals within 2-3 hours of delivery to ensure food safety.

Cooler Supplies: There is currently no charge for the insulated cooler bags and ice packs used for delivery. For subsequent deliveries, if you leave the previous delivery's cooler bag and ice packs at your doorstep, our driver will reuse the bag and replace the ice packs. If you are home, you may return the cooler supplies from a previous delivery directly to the driver. We encourage the return and reuse of these supplies.
-
Failed or Missed Deliveries: If we are unable to complete a delivery due to reasons attributable to you (e.g., incorrect address provided, inaccessible location, failure to provide necessary entry codes), we will attempt to contact you. We reserve the right to charge for the order and any associated redelivery fees, or to cancel the order without refund or credit, at our discretion.

Delivery Restrictions: We cannot deliver outside our defined Serviced Areas. For corporate gifts intended for recipients outside our Serviced Areas, the ordering business must accept delivery within our Serviced Areas and assume full responsibility for the proper handling, chilling, and prompt onward delivery to the final recipients.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION
Our philosophy is to treat all consumers, including our customers, honestly and reasonably. If a concern, complaint, or claim of any kind arises between you and Jessie & Laurent, you and Jessie & Laurent agree to work diligently and in good faith to reach a resolution that is fair and equitable to both sides using the informal settlement process described below. On occasion, despite our respective best efforts, a third party may be necessary to help resolve problems that may arise between you and Jessie & Laurent. YOU AND JESSIE & LAURENT AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND JESSIE & LAURENT THAT ARE NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ONLY. YOU AND JESSIE & LAURENT ALSO AGREE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTES OR TO MAKE OR PROCEED WITH ANY CLAIM ON A COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
-
All Disputes Covered. You and Jessie & Laurent agree that this agreement covers all concerns, complaints, demands for relief, disputes, and claims of any kind and in the broadest possible sense that may arise between you and Jessie & Laurent (each a “Dispute,” and, collectively, the “Disputes”). Disputes covered by this agreement include, but are not limited to, those arising out of or related in any way to these Terms, including Jessie & Laurent’s privacy policy; the operation and content of the Site; your use of the Site; communications and interactions between you and Jessie & Laurent; promotions by Jessie & Laurent; and all purchases of, requests for, and uses by you of all products and services offered by Jessie & Laurent (including all Services and Supplemental Services). You and Jessie & Laurent further agree that this mutual obligation to arbitrate encompasses Disputes of every kind and description, including, but not limited to, statutory, regulatory, constitutional, and common law Disputes, including, but not limited to, those involving allegations of negligence and intentional wrongdoing (including fraud and misrepresentation) and tax controversies, and irrespective of the source or origin of the law which may govern or give rise to such Disputes and irrespective of whether other parties may be involved in such Disputes.
-
All Persons and Entities Covered. You and Jessie & Laurent agree that this agreement applies to all agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, employees, and all others acting for, or on behalf of, you and Jessie & Laurent, or under your or Jessie & Laurent’s direction or control, and all companies affiliated with Jessie & Laurent (including, but not limited to, parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations, if any). This arbitration agreement is binding not only on you and Jessie & Laurent, but also your and Jessie & Laurent’s respective heirs, successors, and assigns.
-
Governing Law. You and Jessie & Laurent agree that all arbitrations between you and Jessie & Laurent under this agreement are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal law, notwithstanding any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or imposing obligations greater than, or inconsistent with, the FAA. In all other respects, the laws of the State of California shall control to the fullest extent permitted, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, but only to the extent that the laws of California are consistent with the FAA. With regard to dispute resolution between you and Jessie & Laurent (including arbitration), if there is a conflict between this provision and any other provision of the Terms regarding governing law, this provision shall control.
-
The Informal Settlement Process. Before you or Jessie & Laurent can file a claim in arbitration or small claims court, you and Jessie & Laurent are each required first to participate in an informal settlement process for a period of sixty days for the purpose of resolving all Disputes. To initiate the informal settlement process, the claiming party must send to the other party a short, written statement (a “Claim Statement”) providing the claimant’s name and address; explaining the Dispute in sufficient detail for the other party to understand and investigate it; and presenting a proposal for resolving it (including any amount of money being claimed and how that amount was calculated). You agree to send Claim Statements by email to [INSERT] or by certified mail, return receipt requested to Jessie & Laurent, Attn: Legal Department, 1945 Francisco Blvd E, Suite 32, San Rafael, CA 94901. If applicable, Jessie & Laurent agrees to send Claim Statements by email to an email address you have previously provided to Jessie & Laurent or by certified mail, return receipt requested to an address you have previously provided to Jessie & Laurent. You and Jessie & Laurent will then, upon receipt of any Claim Statement, attempt in good faith to resolve each Dispute described in the Claim Statement on an individual basis. If any such Dispute is not resolved within sixty days following the receipt of a Claim Statement, you and Jessie & Laurent thereafter have the right to resolve any such Dispute either in small claims court or by individual arbitration, subject to the requirements described below. Any statutes of limitations applicable to such Disputes shall be suspended for the sixty day period during which you and Jessie & Laurent attempt to resolve such Disputes informally. You and Jessie & Laurent may agree to extend the period for informally resolving such Disputes beyond sixty days, and, if so, any applicable statutes of limitation will be suspended for that additional period as well.
-
Disputes Not Settled Informally May Only Be Resolved in Small Claims Court or By Individual Arbitration. At the conclusion of the sixty day informal settlement period, Disputes presented in a Claim Statement, but not resolved, may be asserted on an individual basis in either (1) small claims court in: (a) the county or parish where you live, if such a court is available and has jurisdiction to hear the Dispute; or (b) another location you and Jessie & Laurent agree on, but only if the Disputes (and the relief sought) qualify to be brought in that court; or (2) binding individual arbitration as provided for in this agreement, below.
-
ARBITRATION RULES AND REQUIREMENTS: While there is no judge or jury in an arbitration, the arbitrator has the power to hear and resolve all claims and to award all the relief that a court can award to an individual litigant, and must interpret and apply this agreement as a court would. Court review of an arbitration decision is limited. To the extent that any cause of action or claim for relief cannot for any reason be addressed in arbitration, you and Jessie & Laurent agree that any court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of all arbitrable causes of action and claims for relief. In the event you and Jessie & Laurent disagree on whether a Dispute must be arbitrated or disagree concerning the scope of the arbitrator’s powers, the arbitrator shall have, but only to the extent permitted by law, the sole authority to address all such disagreements, including, but not limited to, arguments concerning or related to the formation, legality, interpretation, and enforceability of this agreement, the scope of the arbitration agreement, the applicability of this agreement to you and Jessie & Laurent, and the arbitrability of any Dispute arising between you and Jessie & Laurent. Any court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enforce these arbitration requirements (including those related to Mass Arbitration set forth below) and, if necessary, enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitrations and the assessment of fees by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other organization, arbitrator, or mediator in a manner inconsistent with this agreement.
-
General Arbitration Rules. The arbitration process and dispute resolution process will differ depending on whether your claim is pursued individually or as part of a Mass Arbitration (which is defined below). In the case of a Mass Arbitration, if there is a conflict between these General Arbitration Rules and the rules described below pertaining to Mass Arbitration, the Mass Arbitration Rules will control. Otherwise, these rules (the “General Arbitration Rules”) shall, alone, control. All arbitrations shall be before a single arbitrator. Arbitrations involving consumer Disputes shall be governed by this agreement and the then-current AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol, which you can find here: https://www.adr.org/consumer. All other arbitrations shall be governed by this agreement and the then-current AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA Optional Appellate Rules, which you can find here: https://www.adr.org/commercial. To the extent there is a conflict between this agreement and any applicable AAA rules and protocols, this agreement shall control except to the limited extent necessary to preserve the mutual obligation to arbitrate Disputes on an individual basis. Disputes that involve an individual claim for less than $25,000 (US) in actual or statutory damages (but not including any amounts claimed for attorneys’ fees and incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, and excluding any damage multipliers), must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance-based arbitration based solely on the written submissions of the parties, including affidavits. All other arbitrations will be conducted, at your election, either by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions, including affidavits, and will not involve any personal appearances by parties or witnesses unless you and Jessie & Laurent agree otherwise. Any personal appearances agreed to by you and Jessie & Laurent must be at a location convenient to you. Judgment on an arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction to do so. For individual arbitrations (including bellwether arbitrations only under the Mass Arbitration Rules, below), the AAA shall be the arbitration administrator. To begin an arbitration proceeding, the party initiating the arbitration must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing the Dispute(s) to the American Arbitration Association Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043, or by filing such a request online through the AAA’s website: https://www.adr.org/Support. For requests for arbitration initiated against Jessie & Laurent, a copy of the arbitration request shall also be sent to Jessie & Laurent by email to [] or by certified mail, return receipt requested to Jessie & Laurent, Attn: Legal Department, 1945 Francisco Blvd E, Suite 32, San Rafael, CA 94901. If the AAA is, for any reason, unavailable, unable, or unwilling to administer any arbitration which it is required to administer under these rules, you and Jessie & Laurent shall negotiate in good faith on the substitution of another organization or individual to handle the arbitration in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of our agreement. If such an alternative cannot be agreed upon, you or Jessie & Laurent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an organization or individual to conduct the arbitration in a manner consistent with the requirements of this agreement.
-
Mass Arbitration Rules. If and only if twenty-five or more consumers (each a “Mass Arbitration claimant”) or their lawyers file, threaten to file, or indicate an intention to file demands for arbitration against Jessie & Laurent raising substantially identical Disputes, and counsel for the claimants are the same or coordinated across such Disputes (a “Mass Arbitration”), these special rules shall apply (the “Mass Arbitration Rules”). In the case of a Mass Arbitration, to the extent there is a conflict between these Mass Arbitration Rules and any other provisions of the Terms, these Mass Arbitration Rules will control. These Mass Arbitration Rules shall not apply to you unless you qualify as a Mass Arbitration claimant. Each Mass Arbitration claimant must complete the informal settlement process before that Mass Arbitration claimant can proceed to arbitration. Counsel for claimants and Jessie & Laurent shall agree to the submission of a single Claim Statement for all Mass Arbitration claimants, but only if that Claim Statement identifies all Mass Arbitration claimants by name and mailing address. Once the sixty day informal settlement process has ended for all Mass Arbitration claimants, the Mass Arbitration claimants must then follow the “bellwether procedure” described below in which a group of ten selected claimants proceed to arbitration (each a “bellwether arbitration”), followed by a mandatory mediation process through which the Disputes of Mass Arbitration claimants may be settled. Any statutes of limitations applicable to Disputes in a Mass Arbitration shall be stayed until the informal settlement process has been completed for all Mass Arbitration claimants. Counsel for the Mass Arbitration claimants and Jessie & Laurent’s counsel shall each select five claimants for bellwether arbitrations (ten in total) to be each promptly decided individually as a bellwether arbitration conducted pursuant to the General Arbitration Rules, with each case assigned to a separate arbitrator. Jessie & Laurent reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to permit counsel for claimants to select all ten bellwether cases. Each bellwether arbitration shall be completed within one-hundred-twenty days from the date by which all ten Mass Arbitration claimants have been selected for bellwether arbitrations unless the parties agree to a different deadline. In the meantime, no other demands for arbitration may be filed, processed, or in any way deemed filed by the arbitration administrator or arbitrator, but instead shall be stayed until the ten bellwether arbitrations and the subsequent mediation process required by the Mass Arbitration Rules (and described below) has ended. No fees or arbitrator compensation shall be assessed regarding such stayed cases while the bellwether arbitrations are arbitrated and until the mediation required by the Mass Arbitration Rules is concluded. For such stayed Disputes, all applicable statutes of limitation shall be stayed until the mediation process required by these Mass Arbitration Rules has ended. Upon the resolution of the ten bellwether cases, counsel for Jessie & Laurent and counsel for the Mass Arbitration claimants shall participate promptly and in good faith in non-binding confidential mediation for a period of sixty (60) days in a good faith effort to resolve all the Disputes of the Mass Arbitration claimants. This mediation shall be conducted by the AAA under the then-current Mediation Procedures of the AAA. https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Mediation%20Procedures%20of%20the%20American%20Arbitration%20Association%20Oct%2001%2C%202009.pdf. If, prior to or during the mediation required by these Mass Arbitration Rules, Jessie & Laurent presents a written settlement offer seeking to resolve the claims of some or all Mass Arbitration claimants, counsel for those claimants shall, to the extent allowed by law, present that written settlement offer to each Mass Arbitration claimant to which it is directed. If the bellwether arbitrations and the subsequent mediation are unsuccessful in resolving the Disputes of all Mass Arbitration claimants, then, after the conclusion of the bellwether arbitrations and mediation, those Mass Arbitration claimants whose Disputes have not been resolved may each pursue those Disputes on an individual basis with FairClaims, Inc. (“FairClaims”) only (and not with AAA or any other arbitration or organization or arbitrator), https://www.fairclaims.com, to be arbitrated not under the General Arbitration Rules above (which shall be inapplicable), but under FairClaims’s then-current Small Claims Rules & Procedures, https://s3.amazonaws.com/arbi-website/fairclaims-rules/FairClaims-Small-Claims-Rules.pdf. You and Jessie & Laurent agree to split FairClaims’ fees equally, while reserving the right to ask the arbitrator to allocate the fees differently, which the arbitrator may do to the extent permitted by applicable law or if fairness so requires. Any arbitrations initiated by Mass Arbitration claimants and pending at the conclusion of mediation with arbitration organizations or arbitrators other than FairClaims shall promptly be dismissed without prejudice. To the extent that any cause of action or claim for relief cannot for any reason be addressed by FairClaims under its Small Claims Rules & Procedures, you and Jessie & Laurent agree that any court proceedings involving Mass Arbitration claimants and Jessie & Laurent concerning their Disputes shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration with FairClaims of all arbitrable causes of action and claims for relief. If the AAA is, for any reason unavailable, unwilling, or unable to handle the bellwether arbitrations and mediation called for by these Mass Arbitration Rules, Jessie & Laurent and counsel for claimants shall negotiate in good faith for the substitution of another organization or individual to carry out these functions in a manner that is cost effective to both parties and proceeds in accordance with the requirements of these Mass Arbitration Rules. If such an agreement cannot be reached for any reason, Jessie & Laurent or counsel for claimants may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an organization or individual to conduct the bellwether arbitrations and mediation consistent with the requirements of these Mass Arbitration Rules. In the event that the Mass Arbitration Rules are determined to be unenforceable for any reason in a decision of any arbitrator or court as to which further review is foreclosed and all motions, appeals, and petitions for review have been resolved fully (a “Final Determination”), then you and Jessie & Laurent agree that all unresolved Disputes between Mass Arbitration claimants and Jessie & Laurent must be filed in and resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction only (including on a class action basis if the Dispute so qualifies), and shall not be filed in, pursued further, or resolved through arbitration or otherwise be subject to any contractual obligation to arbitrate. To the extent that any arbitrations filed by or on behalf of Mass Arbitration claimants remain pending upon the event of a Final Determination, they shall immediately be dismissed without prejudice. A finding that these Mass Arbitration Rules are unenforceable for any reason, including any Final Determination, shall have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of these Terms, including, but not limited to, the General Arbitration Rules and all provisions of this agreement applicable to Disputes which do not involve Mass Arbitration claimants.
-
No Class Actions. Except as expressly provided for in the Mass Arbitration Rules in the event of a Final Determination, you and Jessie & Laurent agree that all Disputes must be resolved on an individual basis only. This means that in such circumstances: (a) neither you nor Jessie & Laurent can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator cannot combine multiple claimant’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only decide the Disputes of that claimant, not other claimants. Nothing in this agreement, including this section, is intended to limit the relief available to either you as an individual or Jessie & Laurent in arbitration or small claims court, including equitable relief that an arbitrator may be required to make available by applicable law. Nor does anything in this section limits your or Jessie & Laurent’s rights to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims whether through mediation or otherwise.
-
Fees and Costs. You and Jessie & Laurent will each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees in the event of a Dispute, provided, however, that either party may recover attorneys’ and arbitral fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law or under applicable arbitration rules. If an arbitrator determines that an arbitration has been brought in bad faith, for an improper purpose, or to exert unfair pressure greatly disproportionate to the harm alleged, or that the demand was entirely frivolous, the arbitrator may award costs, arbitration fees, and attorneys’ fees to the party defending itself in connection with any such Disputes.
-
Rules of Construction. The requirements of the Terms related to dispute resolution shall be interpreted, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to facilitate the resolution of all Disputes in arbitration in a way that is cost-effective to all parties.
-
Severability. If for any reason any provision of the Terms related to dispute resolution shall be held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms shall remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner that facilitates resolution of Disputes in arbitration in a way that is cost effective to all parties. To the extent that any provision of the Terms is found to be inconsistent with rights, duties, and requirements of the arbitration agreement, or where the application of such a provision would change or render unenforceable any provision of the arbitration agreement, such provision shall be null, void, and of no effect for purposes of dispute resolution and the dispute resolution provisions shall control.
-
Survival. All provisions of the Terms relating to dispute resolution shall survive the termination, cancellation, or expiration of the Terms or of your customer relationship with Jessie & Laurent.
-
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: a[], within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Jessie & Laurent username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Jessie & Laurent account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

10. Disclaimers of Warranties
THE SITE, SERVICES, AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE), AND OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY JESSIE & LAURENT ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.9 JESSIE & LAURENT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, JESSIE & LAURENT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.9 JESSIE & LAURENT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR SERVICES, INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, JESSIE & LAURENT'S SERVERS, OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM JESSIE & LAURENT ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
SOME STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
These disclaimers are standard legal provisions intended to limit potential liability arising from the inherent uncertainties associated with online services and food products.28 Their enforceability is subject to California consumer protection laws.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, JESSIE & LAURENT (INCLUDING ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.9
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL JESSIE & LAURENT'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR SERVICES EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO JESSIE & LAURENT FOR THE SPECIFIC ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.9
THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN JESSIE & LAURENT AND YOU.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW.9
This clause aims to manage risk by limiting exposure to large, unpredictable damage claims, particularly consequential damages.2 The monetary cap tied to the specific order value provides a defined limit on direct damages.9 The enforceability of such limitations in California depends on factors like clarity, conspicuousness, and whether they conflict with specific consumer protection statutes or public policy. The explicit carve-out for gross negligence and willful misconduct is a common and often legally necessary qualifier.9
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Jessie & Laurent, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms, any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the Site or Services using your account, or your infringement, or infringement by any other user of your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. This clause shifts financial responsibility to the user for harm caused by their actions or breaches, protecting the Company from related costs and legal actions.30
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.9 The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions below.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration: YOU AND JESSIE & LAURENT AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION, OR VALIDITY THEREOF, OR THE USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, "DISPUTES") WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING. You and Jessie & Laurent agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Jessie & Laurent are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Provider and Rules: The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect 9, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267. For claims involving consumers, the arbitration will also adhere to the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, provided that this arbitration provision shall control if it conflicts with the JAMS Rules or Minimum Standards.
Arbitration Process: A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitration will take place in Oakland, California 9, unless you and Jessie & Laurent agree otherwise. The parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration proceeding and the award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.31 Discovery will be permitted in accordance with the JAMS Rules, ensuring a fair process.31
Arbitration Fees: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. We will pay for all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys' fees and costs and will not seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. Ensuring the Company bears the primary cost of consumer arbitration is crucial for avoiding findings of substantive unconscionability.30
Class Action Waiver: YOU AND JESSIE & LAURENT 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, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties' dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. This waiver is a critical component for managing litigation risk.30
PAGA Waiver: To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Jessie & Laurent agree that any claim by you under the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA) that is eligible for arbitration under this agreement (i.e., claims seeking recovery for alleged Labor Code violations suffered by you individually) shall be resolved in individual arbitration and not in court. You and Jessie & Laurent further agree that any PAGA claim seeking recovery for alleged Labor Code violations suffered by other individuals ("representative PAGA claims") is not arbitrable under this agreement and must be pursued in court. Consistent with the rulings in Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana and Adolph v. Uber Technologies, Inc., you and Jessie & Laurent agree that if you bring representative PAGA claims in court, those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration of your individual claims, including the determination of whether you are an "aggrieved employee" under PAGA.31 This waiver is drafted specifically to address the nuances of California law regarding PAGA claims and arbitration, aiming for maximum enforceability by distinguishing between individual and representative claims.37 A blanket waiver of all PAGA claims is unenforceable.38
Severability: If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Dispute Resolution section is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Dispute Resolution section shall still apply. Specifically, if the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and the dispute will be resolved in court. If the PAGA waiver related to individual claims is found unenforceable, it shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration provisions (including the Class Action Waiver and the agreement to arbitrate other individual claims) shall remain in effect. If the provision regarding the stay of representative PAGA claims is found unenforceable, it shall be severed, but the agreement to arbitrate individual PAGA claims shall remain.30
Exceptions to Arbitration: Notwithstanding the provisions above, the following types of Disputes may be brought in court: (1) Disputes seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents 9; and (2) Disputes that qualify for initiation in small claims court.
Opt-Out Right: You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration and the class action waiver within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [J&L Opt-Out Address/Email]. Your notice must include your name, address, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply.
This detailed dispute resolution section is necessary due to the complex legal landscape surrounding arbitration agreements, class action waivers, and PAGA waivers in California.6 The structure aims to maximize enforceability by incorporating procedural fairness elements (JAMS rules, fee allocation, opt-out) and carefully tailored waiver language based on controlling case law.3
__. Modifications to Terms/Service
In our sole discretion, Jessie & Laurent shall have the right to change, amend, add to, remove, or supplement these Terms (including the Privacy Policy), without notice to you; provided, however, that changes to the procedures applicable to the resolution of disputes shall only apply to disputes which arise after the modified or additional provision is published on the Site. While we will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of material changes, it is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
15. Termination
These Terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or Jessie & Laurent. You may terminate your account and cease using the Services at any time by contacting customer service or using account management tools if available. Jessie & Laurent may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.29 Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions (Section 8), warranty disclaimers (Section 10), indemnity (Section 12), limitations of liability (Section 11), and dispute resolution provisions (Section 13). This ensures that core legal protections and obligations persist beyond the active service relationship.
16. Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information in connection with the Site and Services are described in our Privacy Policy, which is available at [Link to Privacy Policy] and incorporated into these Terms. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
