BY ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER WEBSITES OF KIDSTIR, INC., ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS (“KIDSTIR” OR “WE”) WITH LINKS TO THIS TERMS OF USE (COLLECTIVELY, THE “WEBSITE”) IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING USING THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE OR ENABLED VIA THE WEBSITE (EACH A “SERVICE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICES”) BY KIDSTIR OR USERS OF THE SITE (“USERS”), CLICKING ON THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, AND/OR MERELY BROWSING THE WEBSITE, YOU REPRESENT THAT (1) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, (2) YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH KIDSTIR, AND (3) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS OF USE PERSONALLY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY YOU HAVE NAMED AS THE CUSTOMER, AND TO BIND THAT COMPANY TO THE TERMS OF USE. THE TERM “YOU” REFERS TO THE INDIVIDUAL OR LEGAL ENTITY, AS APPLICABLE, IDENTIFIED AS THE CUSTOMER WHEN YOU REGISTERED ON THE WEBSITE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES.
IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SERVICES FOR A TERM (THE “INITIAL TERM”) AND BECOME A KIDSTIR MEMBER, THEN THE TERMS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE INITIAL TERM AT KIDSTIR’S THEN-CURRENT FEE FOR SUCH SERVICES UNLESS YOU TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1.5, 10.2 AND 15.4 BELOW.
THE TERMS OF USE REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.
Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in the Terms of Use or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. If the Terms of Use are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such Service. The Terms of Use and any applicable Supplemental Terms are referred to herein as the “Terms.”
We know that your privacy is important. For this reason, we have created a privacy policy that describes our collection, use and disclosure practices regarding any personal information that you provide to us. The security of your personal information is important to us. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personal information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that the Website is invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities. We reserve the right to cooperate with local, state, provincial and national authorities in investigations of improper or unlawful activities and this may require the disclosure of your personal information.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY KIDSTIR IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, Kidstir will make a new copy of the Terms of Use available at the Website and any new Supplemental Terms will be made available from within, or through, the affected Service on the Website. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms of Use. If we make any material changes, and you have registered to use the Services, we will also send an e-mail to you at the last e-mail address you provided to us pursuant to the Terms. Any changes to the Terms will be effective immediately for new Users of the Website or Services and will be effective thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Website for existing Users, provided that any material changes shall be effective for Users who have a registered account on the Website upon the earlier of thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Website or thirty (30) days after dispatch of an e-mail notice of such changes to Registered Users (defined in Section 3.1 below). Kidstir may require you to provide consent to the updated Terms in a specified manner before further use of the Website or the Services is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Website and/or the Services. Otherwise, your continued use of the Website and/or Services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT TERMS.
1. OUR OFFERING. Our Services are for parents (and not for children) who want to spark a love of good food in kids. Each month as long as you maintain your membership as a Member, you will receive a different Box. Boxes may include recipes, activity cards, cooking tools, games, toys, or activities. We may also sell Boxes and other products (“Products”) on a stand-alone basis. SOME PRODUCTS MAY CONSITUTE CHOKING HAZARDS AND/OR CONTAIN SMALL PARTS OR OTHERWISE DANGEROUS COMPONENTS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. BOXES ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THREE (3) YEARS OF AGE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED BY ANY CHILD WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED OR INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF THREE (3) AND MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS. IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT, KIDSTIR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITY, DAMAGES, LOSS OR COSTS ARISING FROM SUCH USE
1.1 Boxes. Membership fees are set forth on our Website, as may be amended from time to time. If you are a Member, Kidstir will send you an email when your Box has shipped each month. Boxes will be shipped every month to the address in your Account (defined below). Kidstir reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Membership includes any applicable shipping, handling and taxes for the Boxes, except in California and where otherwise required by law, where sales tax will be separately charged. All Boxes shall be deemed accepted by you upon shipment, and title to, and risk of loss of, each Box passes to you when Kidstir provides the Box(es) to a common carrier. All Boxes are non-refundable and cannot be returned. However, please contact us if any or all of your Box is damaged and we will work with you to provide a replacement Box or component.
1.2 Shipment. Any estimated shipping date provided by Kidstir is based on Product availability and payment processing time, and does not include transit time. All Products shall be deemed accepted by you upon shipment, and title to, and risk of loss of, the Products passes to you when Kidstir provides the Product(s) to a common carrier. Kidstir reserves the right to charge an additional fee if you request that any Products be re-shipped, whether because you originally submitted an incorrect address when you placed your order with Kidstir or otherwise. Accordingly, please be sure and review the shipping information you submit very closely to ensure it is accurate.
1.3 Standalone Orders. When you place an order for Products (other than Membership) (such order, an “Order”), that will constitute an offer to purchase the Product(s) ordered and we may accept your Order by processing your payment and shipping the Product(s). Your receipt of an electronic or other form of Order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your Order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. For any reason, we may decline to accept your Order or any part of your Order. No Order will be considered accepted by Kidstir until the Product(s) has been shipped. If some of Products in your Order are temporarily out of stock, we will ship the available Products only and notify you of any Products that cannot be fulfilled. If we decline to accept your Order, we will attempt to notify you at the email address you provided. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your Order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your Order will be deemed accepted by Kidstir upon our delivery of the Products that you have ordered. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any Order. All Products shall be deemed accepted by you upon shipment, and title to, and risk of loss of, the Products pass to you when Kidstir provides the Product(s) to a common carrier. All sales of Products are subject to our then-current return policies, as posted on the Website. Any estimated shipping date provided by Kidstir is based on Product availability and payment processing time, and does not include transit time.
1.4 Products. We make efforts to display our Products as accurately as possible. Having said that, the displayed colors of the Products will depend upon your monitor and we cannot guarantee that your monitor will accurately portray the actual colors of the Products. Products displayed may be out-of-stock or discontinued, and prices are subject to change. We cannot confirm the price of an item until you place an Order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items on our Website may be mispriced. We are not responsible for typographical errors regarding price or any other matter. All prices do include shipping and handling and sales taxes (except in California and where otherwise required by law, where tax will be added to your total purchase price). You are responsible for the payment of any shipping and handling charges and state and local sales or use taxes that may apply to your order.
1.5 Membership. Members can cancel their Membership at any time, and will only be billed for the current term (1, 3, 6, 12 month terms). There are no cancellation fees or penalties. To cancel your Membership, simply log into your Account and select the designated option to submit your cancellation. Your cancellation request must be received before 12 AM Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) SEVEN (“7”) DAYS PRIOR to the next re-billing date, otherwise you will continue to be billed for the next planned term. If you do cancel, you will not receive any additional deliveries from Kidstir after the current membership period. If an error occurs, whereby you do receive a delivery after your cancellation submission which has not been paid for, regardless of where the error initiated, you agree to: (a) notify Kidstir of the error, at which time Kidstir will advise you how to return the contents of the Box to Kidstir; or (b) keep the Box and pay the then current cost of the Box.
1.6 Refer a Friend. As a Member, by referring your friends to Kidstir, you may participate in the Kidstir Refer A Friend Program (the “Program”), which is a loyalty program we offer to our Members. If you choose to participate in the Program, for each friend you refer to Kidstir for which a Qualifying Referral (defined below) is completed, you may be able to receive credits toward future purchases. In order to receive a Referral Reward, each of the following requirements must be met (collectively, a “Qualifying Referral”): (i) you must log in to your Account on the Site and select the “Refer My Friends” link; (ii) you must share the link provided with friends via Facebook and Twitter, by copying and pasting the unique referral link generated via the Services, or by sending the unique referral link generated via the Services in an email via the Services to your friends; (iii) a friend who clicks the link on Facebook, Twitter or otherwise or clicks the link contained in the email must create a Kidstir Account and complete a purchase of a Membership through the Site or Services. Gift Certificate purchases or purchases of stand-alone Products are not Qualifying Referrals. Satisfaction of a Qualifying Referral and the applicable referral credits (“Rewards”) you receive will be reflected in your Account in a commercially reasonable amount of time after the Qualifying Referral has been completed. The Rewards you accrue will be displayed in your My Account profile page. Rewards can be accrued solely by you and you may not earn Rewards by permitting another individual to use your Account. Rewards accrued in multiple Accounts may not be combined into one Account. You may not earn Rewards by creating multiple Accounts. You may not post your unique referral link on any public forum or coupon site, doing so will result in the reversal of any Rewards earned and may result in your account becoming suspended. By acquiring Rewards, you agree and acknowledge that Kidstir is granting you a limited, revocable license to a digital item, and that Rewards are not your personal property. You may not obtain any cash or money in exchange for Rewards. Except as explicitly provided herein, Rewards are non-transferable. Members are responsible for keeping track of the Rewards in their Accounts.
2. Use of the Services and Kidstir Properties.

If there is any conflict between the Terms and the license agreement, the license agreement shall take precedence in relation to that Software (except as provided in the following sentence). If the Software is a pre-release version, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within an accompanying license agreement, you are not permitted to use or otherwise rely on the Software for any commercial or production purposes. If no license agreement accompanies use of the Software, use of the Software will be governed by the Terms. Subject to your compliance with the Terms, Kidstir grants you a non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable non-exclusive license to use the Software for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Services in the manner permitted by the Terms. Some Software may be offered under an open source license that we will make available to you. There may be provisions in the open source license that expressly override some of these terms.

By entering into the Terms, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat, text, or voice communications.

Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting. You agree that Kidstir retains the right to create reasonable limits on Kidstir’s use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described in the web pages accompanying the Services and as otherwise determined by Kidstir in its sole discretion.

You warrant that the holder of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, in Your Content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above. You agree that you, not Kidstir, are responsible for all of Your Content that you Make Available on or in the Kidstir Properties.

7. Investigations. Kidstir may, but is not obligated to, monitor or review the Kidstir Properties and Content at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, Kidstir shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any of Your Content for any reason (or no reason), including if such Content violates the Terms or any applicable law. Although Kidstir does not generally monitor user activity occurring in connection with the Kidstir Properties or Content, if Kidstir becomes aware of any possible violations by you of any provision of the Terms, Kidstir reserves the right to investigate such violations, and Kidstir may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use the Kidstir Properties, or change, alter or remove Your Content, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.
8. Interactions with Other Users.
8.1 User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users of the Services and any other parties with whom you interact through the Services; provided, however, that Kidstir reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Kidstir will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.
8.2 Content Provided by Other Users. The Kidstir Properties may contain User Content provided by other Users. Kidstir is not responsible for and does not control User Content. Kidstir has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to User Content. You use all User Content and interact with other Users at your own risk.
9. Third-Party Services. The Kidstir Properties may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and advertisements for third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Websites & Ads”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party Website or Ad, we will not warn you that you have left the Kidstir Properties and are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites are not under the control of Kidstir. Kidstir is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites & Ads. Kidstir provides these Third-Party Websites & Ads only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites & Ads, or their products or services. You use all links in Third-Party Websites & Ads at your own risk. When you leave our Website, our Terms and policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Websites, and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
10. Fees and Purchase Terms.
10.1 Payment. To make a payment, you will need to provide Kidstir with the information necessary to process your Order or your Membership, including your shipping address and the billing information requested on the Website. We may use a third-party payment provider (the “Payment Provider”) to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account (your “Billing Account”). The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Provider in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Provider. By becoming a Member or placing an Order, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Provider, all applicable charges applicable to your Account and you authorize us, through the Payment Provider, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. You authorize us to charge your Billing Account at our convenience but within thirty (30) days of credit card authorization. You represent that you will not use any Billing Account unless you have all necessary authorization to do so. We assume that because Billing Accounts require a valid credit card, only persons age 18 or over are placing Orders or becoming Members. We shall not be liable in the event your children or others acting with or without your permission use your credit card or other means of payment to make purchases on the Website (and to the extent your minor children make any such purchases, you hereby represent and warrant that they are authorized to do so); however you may report any unauthorized use to us, and we will use reasonable measures within our control to help prevent future unauthorized use of your card.
10.2 Membership. Membership at Kidstir consists of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that Membership has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., WEEKLY OR MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, PLEASE ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT PAGE ON THE SERVICES. You must promptly notify us if your Payment Method is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized use of your Account.
(a) Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
(b) Auto-Renewal for Membership. Unless you terminate your membership, which can be done through your Account, your Membership will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the membership term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or terminate any Membership at any time, go to your account or contact [email protected], provided that any termination will not be effective until the end of your then-current term. You won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the membership fee paid for the then-current membership period.c) Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued Membership reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for Membership. Upon renewal of your membership, if Kidstir does not receive payment from your Payment Provider: (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Kidstir may either terminate or suspend your membership and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be re-activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new membership commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received). This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to become a Member.
(d) Free Trials. Any free trial or other promotion that provides Membership must be used within the specified time of the trial. You will be asked for valid credit card information when you sign up for the free trial. We will use the payment information for future Membership fees should you fail to terminate the trial Membership within the timeframe provided by Kidstir. We will start your free trial upon completion of your trial signup. You may cancel your trial Membership without charge at any time within [7] days of placing your order. If you do not cancel your free trial Membership within [7] days of the date you start your trial, your Membership will continue automatically and the monthly fee will be billed to the credit card or other billing source provided by you when you signed up for the trial, on the first day of each successive Membership term. Such billing will occur without further notice to you. Should you choose to discontinue your Membership for any reason before expiration of the then applicable Membership term or the trial period, you may cancel your Membership and terminate future billing by making the selection on your Account page. You must cancel your Membership before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged a Membership fee. If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a Membership, please contact Kidstir to have the charges reversed.
10.3 Other Promotions. We may run promotional offers from time to time on the Website. The terms of any such promotion will be posted on the Website. Unless otherwise indicated, we may establish and modify, in our sole discretion, the terms of such offer and end such offer at any point.
10.4 Disputes. You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Please use our Contact Us form for any billing disputes.
11. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Kidstir, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, the “Kidstir Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, the Kidstir Properties; (c) your violation of the Terms; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Kidstir reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Kidstir in asserting any available defenses. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Terms or your access to the Kidstir Properties.

16. Remedies.
16.1 Violations. If Kidstir becomes aware of any possible violations by you of the Terms, Kidstir reserves the right to investigate such violations. If, as a result of the investigation, Kidstir believes that criminal activity has occurred, Kidstir reserves the right to refer the matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all applicable legal authorities.

In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Kidstir reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
17. International Users. The Kidstir Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Kidstir intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. The Kidstir Properties are controlled and offered by Kidstir from its facilities in the United States of America. Kidstir makes no representations that the Kidstir Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Kidstir Properties from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
18. General Provisions.
18.1 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Kidstir use electronic means, whether you visit the Kidstir Properties or send Kidstir e-mails, or whether Kidstir posts notices on the Kidstir Properties or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Kidstir in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Kidstir provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
18.2 Release. You hereby release Kidstir Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of the Kidstir Properties, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other Users or third-party websites of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms or your use of the Kidstir Properties. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
18.3 Assignment. The Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Kidstir’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
18.4 Force Majeure. Kidstir shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
18.5 Compliance. If you believe that Kidstir has not adhered to the Terms, please contact Kidstir by using our Contact Us form. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel that your complaint has not been addressed completely, we invite you to let us know for further investigation.

18.7 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kidstir may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from California law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that are applicable to your use of the Kidstir Properties.
(b) Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) shall be referred to and finally determined by binding and confidential arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by the Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).
(c) You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
(d) You and Kidstir must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR KIDSTIR MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Kidstir will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (iv) Kidstir also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (v) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (vi) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for the purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (vii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (viii) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by applicable law.
(e) The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The arbitrator shall 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 will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by Section 13 of the Terms. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Terms, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by California law or United States federal law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Kidstir may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, 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 secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles, California for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
(f) With the exception of (d)(i) and (ii) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either (d)(i) or (ii) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Kidstir shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Los Angeles, California. By using the Kidstir Properties in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.
18.8 Governing Law. The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
18.9 Choice of Language. It is the express wish of the parties that the Terms and all related documents have been drawn up in English. C’est law volone expresse des parties que la presente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattacent soient rediges en anglais.
18.10 Notice. Where Kidstir requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Kidstir with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Kidstir is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, Kidstir’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Kidstir at the through our Contact Us form. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Kidstir by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

PRIVACY POLICY
Welcome to www.kidstir.com (the “Site”), a website owned and operated by Kidzchef LLC. DBA Kidstir (“Kidstir,” “us,” or “we”). We know you are concerned about privacy, so we developed this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how we collect, use, and disclose information from you, our user (“you” or “your”). As a guiding principal, our mission at Kidstir is to help parents raise curious, confident, capable kids, as well as a number of related services (“Services”). Read on and we will tell you how this all works.
So we are clear on the terminology we use, “Personal Information” means contact information (i.e., your name, address, email address, and/or telephone number) and any other non-public information that is used or intended to be used to personally identify an individual, and any other non-public information that is associated with that information. “Anonymous Information” means information that is not used or intended to be used to personally identify an individual. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning ascribed to them in our Terms of Use.
CHILDREN
Our Site and Services are targeted to parents. The Site and Services are not directed to children and children are not eligible to use our Site or Services. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. We do not collect or maintain Personal Information from people we actually know are under 13 years of age, and no part of our Site or Services is designed to attract people under 13 years of age. If we later learn that a user is under 13 years of age, we will take steps to remove that user’s Personal Information from our databases and to prevent the user from utilizing the Site and the Services.
By registering with the Site and/or using the Services, you are consenting to our collection, use and disclosure practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes our practices for both a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse the Site) and a “Member”, which means that you have subscribed to a membership for our Services and created an account (your “Account”).
BY USING OUR SITE OR SERVICES OR SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH OUR SITE OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED BY US OR ON OUR BEHALF IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION
Personal Information
In general, the Personal Information we gather enables us to provide the Site, Services (including Membership) and Products to you. We collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily when you register with us, become a Member and/or order Products. To create an “Account” with a user name, we require that you provide certain Personal Information, including your name and email address.
You are not required to have an Account to place an order for Products, but you are required to have an Account to become a Member. Payments on the Site may be processed by our service providers who collect your credit card information directly, and we will not have access to or see your credit card information as part of such transaction. We also collect other types of Personal Information that you provide to us voluntarily as you use the Site or if you contact us via e-mail regarding the Site or Products.
If you participate in a sweepstakes, contest or giveaway on our Site, we may ask you for your e-mail address and/or home number (to notify you if you win or not). We may also ask for first and last names, and sometimes post office addresses to verify your identity. In some situations we may need additional information as a part of the entry process, such as a prize selection choice. These sweepstakes and contests are voluntary. We recommend that you read the rules for each sweepstakes and contest that you enter.
If you choose to use our “Refer a Friend” feature, we will ask for your friends’ email address. We will send your friend a one time email inviting them to visit the Site. We do not store this information or use it for any other purpose other than to fulfill send the email at your request and to validate participation in our Refer a Friend program.
Information We Collect via Technology.
As you use the Site or the Service, certain information may be passively collected by Cookies, navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and third party tracking services, including:
• Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
• Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This includes some of the actions you take on the Site, such as the content of searches you perform on the Site. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests.
• Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. This type of information is collected to make the Site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept cookies from our Service for any of the purposes described above, then you can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Consult your browser’s technical information. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of the Services, such as taking courses. If you have any questions about how to disable or modify cookies, please let us know at the contact information provided below.
• Third Party Service Providers. We may use third party service providers such as Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. By way of example, Google Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
