Terms of Use

Last Modified: September 1, 2020

Acceptance of Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Joshua Tree Coffee Company, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of our websites and online services, including without limitation any content, functionality, ordering portals, software, apps, and other features offered on or through such websites and online services (the “Service”), whether as a guest or a registered user. To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions in these Terms of Use and the provisions contained in the referenced and incorporated documents that constitute a part of these Terms of Use, the applicable terms and provisions contained in such referenced and incorporated documents will control. Otherwise, such provisions will be considered cumulative.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Service. By using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at https://jtcoffee.com/pages/privacy-policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to every element of these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service. If these Terms of Use are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms of Use.

The Service is offered and available only to users who are 18 years of age or older, and (a) you give us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Service and (b) if you have agreed to these Terms of Use on behalf of any other party, you have the requisite authority to do so and any such other party agrees that any breach of these Terms of Use by you or it will be both your and its responsibility. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Service.

THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. THIS INCLUDES THE REQUIRED USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise, update, change, supplement or replace all or any part of these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion, and we may provide notice of any such revision to these Terms of Use in any manner we deem reasonable, including without limitation, by posting them to the Service. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Service thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth herein will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Service.

Your continued use of and access to the Service following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Accessing the Service and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Service, and any service or material we provide on the Service, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Service is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Service, or the entire Service, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Service.
Ensuring that all persons who access the Service through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the Service or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information.

You agree that all information you provide to register with the Service or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Service, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Service or portions of it using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. You agree that we will not be liable for any losses, damages, liability, expenses or attorneys’ fees that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

Any User Contribution you post to the Service will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By directly or indirectly providing any User Contribution on or through the Service, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns the worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Service.

YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

However, we do not undertake to review all material before it is posted on the Service, and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section.

You agree that any dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and the Company, or you and any other third-party service provider acting on our behalf, relating in any way to your access to and/or use of the Service, any breach, enforcement, or termination of these Terms of Use, or otherwise relating to the Company in any way (collectively, “Covered Matters”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions described herein. In the event of any such dispute, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at legal@jtcoffee.com, provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your basic account information, if your dispute relates to an account) and allow forty-five (45) days to pass, during which we will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of any issue (“Informal Resolution”).

Claims Period

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Service must be commenced within 1 year after the cause of action originally accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Arbitration Agreement

To the extent that the foregoing Informal Resolution process is unsuccessful, you and we agree that any dispute between you and any of the Company Parties relating in any way to (a) your access or use of the Service, (b) any text message or other communication you receive relating to the Company or (c) to any aspect of your relationship with the Company, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or the Company Parties may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).

IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH THE COMPANY, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE COMPANY ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY PARTIES IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at 850 New Burton Rd, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19904 (Attn: Joshua Tree Coffee Company, LP). The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, or if such payment would render the arbitration unenforceable, the Company will pay them for you. In addition, the Company will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, the Company will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration will be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration will be confidential to the same extent.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company Parties. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms of Use (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Company are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in this Arbitration Agreement above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms of Use as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts in Los Angeles, California. All other claims will be arbitrated. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California for purposes of resolving any claims for relief that are severed from an arbitration in accordance with this subsection and waive any argument that holding proceedings in such courts will impose undue hardship or materially affect their ability to present their case.

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 the following address: 850 New Burton Rd, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19904 (Attn: Joshua Tree Coffee Company, LP) or legal@jtcoffee.com within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username on the Service (if any), the email address you used to set up your Service 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 these Terms of Use 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.

Except as provided in this Arbitration Agreement above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement or your relationship with the Company.

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, we agree that if the Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) for which you had already provided notice to the Company.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Service and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).

The parties acknowledge that these Terms of Use evidence one or more transactions involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms of Use will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).
