WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

We cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Website, its digital content, or its server will be error-free, uninterrupted, free from unauthorized access (including third-party hackers or denial of service attacks), or otherwise meet your requirements.

Our Website and all information, digital content, marketing materials, products, product descriptions, product details, services, and user content included on or otherwise made available to you through our Website (collectively, the "content") are provided by Artificial Companions on an "as is," "as available" basis, without representations or warranties of any kind. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the digital content's operation, the accuracy or completeness of this content, or that emails sent from Artificial Companions are free of malware or other harmful components. You expressly agree that your use of our Website is at your sole risk. We will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of the Content of our Website, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, punitive, and consequential damages unless otherwise agreed by Artificial Companions in writing. To the full extent permitted by law, we disclaim all representations and warranties concerning the Content, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose or use.

If colors, quality, product composition, chemical ingredients, allergens, and other product information are provided through the Website, we do not represent or warrant that such information is accurate or complete since it is provided by their manufacturers. Occasionally manufacturers may modify their products and update their composition, informing local and international authorities. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented on our Website and that you ask any necessary questions and do all the required research if you have specific questions or concerns about a product.

In no event, we will be liable, directly or indirectly, to anyone for any damage or loss arising from or relating to any use, continued use, or reliance on any third-party names, marks, products, advertisements, services, or pop-up texts, or links to third-party applications that appear on the Website.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Under no circumstances shall Artificial Companions or its affiliates or their respective employees, directors, officers, or agents be liable for any direct or indirect losses or damages arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the digital content of our Website. This is a comprehensive limitation of liability that applies to all losses and damages of any kind (whether general, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, loss of data, income, or profits), whether in contract or tort, even if Artificial Companions, or anyone acting on our behalf, has been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages. Each provision of these terms of use that provides a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks under the agreement between you and Artificial Companions. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between you and Artificial Companions. This section's limitations will apply even if any limited remedy fails its essential purpose(s). If you are dissatisfied with the digital content or any content on our Website or these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using and accessing the Website. By using this digital content, you acknowledge that your use of the Website is at your sole risk. Applicable law may not allow the limitation of liability set forth above, so this limitation of liability may not apply to you, and you may have rights additional to those contained herein.

Your notice must comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) (the "DMCA"). Upon receipt of such notice, we will respond and proceed in accordance with the DMCA.
 

SWEEPSTAKES OR PROMOTIONS

Any discounts, sweepstakes, contests, raffles, or promotions (collectively, "Sweepstakes") and Gift Cards made available through the Website may be governed by rules separate from these Terms of Use. You should review the applicable rules before participating. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Use and these rules, the applicable rules shall prevail.
 

APPLICABLE LAW

These Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. You knowingly and voluntarily submit to the Artificial Companions’ jurisdiction of any venue, state, and federal courts in the State of Florida. You further agree that any cause of action arising under these Terms of Use shall be brought first to an arbitration firm based in Miami, Florida, and you shall pay for all costs for an arbitrary mediation out-of-court to determine a fair resolution. If a resolution is not possible for a legal reason, then you agree to present your case only in a Court of Law based in Miami, Florida.

UPDATES TO TERMS OF USE

From time to time, we may modify these Terms of Use to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law or our policies. All modifications and updates shall be effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Website after we post updated Terms of Use signifies your acceptance of the new terms.

The term "Affiliates" shall mean all current or future companies or entities that are now or will be in the future: (a) controlled by; (b) under common control with; or (c) controlling Artificial Companions LLC, wherein "control" means possession directly or indirectly of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies of an entity through the ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

MISCELLANEOUS

Our rights and remedies under these Terms of Use are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor the delay by Artificial Companions in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms of Use will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent.

BINDING ARBITRATION

In case of disagreement, you waive jury trials and class actions and agree to present and pay all costs for an arbitrary mediation out-of-court with a Law firm based in Miami, Florida, to determine an alternate resolution. 

Customers living out of the United States agree to an alternative dispute resolution procedure only if a court of law rules that arbitration is prohibited by law.
