Terms & conditions

Effective: November 21, 2016

Welcome!

The agreement you are reading is our Terms of Service (referred to as the Terms from here on out). Though we’ve tried hard to make our Terms easily readable, you should know that they still form a legally-binding contract between you and Parachute Coffee Company Limited (Us, We, Our, Parachute).

By using any of our products and services, including our monthly product and gift delivery (which we will shorten to the Services throughout this agreement), you acknowledge that you have read these Terms, that you agree with them, and that you have the capacity to enter into a binding contract with us. We encourage you to read these Terms and if you don’t agree with any of them, not to use the Services. We especially highlight that by using the services, you are agreeing to:

The method by which you subscribed and pay for Products and Services (see: “Accessing the Services” at section 2);
Rules concerning what content and information you can bring to the Services (see: “Using the Services Properly” at section 4);
Parachute getting certain rights to use content related to the Services to improve the Services (see: “Rights in the Services” at section 5); and
A binding mandatory arbitration clause and other dispute resolution details (see: “Dispute Resolution” at section 13).

On certain pages of our website, we might ask you to agree to extra terms (which we call Additional Terms). If any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms will prevail.

1. Privacy

Your privacy is extremely important to us! These terms include our privacy policy (the Privacy Policy), which outlines how we handle your information. You should read our Privacy Policy carefully before using the Services because by using the Services, you agree that we can collect, use, and share your information (but only in ways consistent with the Privacy Policy). We also wanted you to know that if these Terms conflict in any way with the Privacy Policy, then these Terms will prevail.

2. Accessing the Services

Your Account

You need an account on our website, www.parachutecoffee.com, to begin monthly product subscription.

Only those who are 18 years of age or older are allowed to use or access the Services or create an account. If you are not legally an adult based on your local laws, you need to get a parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf.

We try to make our Services as accessible as possible, but we know that there is always room for improvement! If you have any trouble accessing the Services, please contact us at: hello@parachutecoffee.com

You are solely responsible for the security, maintenance, and all other aspects of your Parachute account. By using the Services you agree that the account information you provide us is accurate. We suggest that you take precautions to safeguard your account, including selecting a strong password. By using the Services, you also agree not to do the following with respect to your account:

share your password or account or buy, sell, rent, or lease your username or account;
access or attempt to access your account using a proxy, client, or third-party app; or
create multiple accounts or a new account after your original account has been banned or disabled by Parachute.

While you are free to choose any username that complies with these Terms, be aware that we can reclaim your username at our discretion.

Any issues with account access or security can be addressed to: hello@parachutecoffee.com. Contact our support team right away if you know or have reason to believe that your account has been accessed without your permission.

Subscribing to the Delivery Service

You can subscribe to receive shipments of coffee, the Brew Kit, or other items (the Products) through our monthly product delivery service (the Subscribed Members). The Products will be shipped to the address selected by the Subscribed Member when they agreed to their subscription. These shipments will arrive on a monthly basis, however, We cannot guarantee exact date on any given month when the shipment will arrive. Likewise, though we will try our best to provide notice of what varieties and roasts of coffee will likely be included in the monthly shipment, due to Product availability and other factors outside of our control, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the exact Product as advertised.

Paying for the Services

PLEASE NOTE THAT BY AGREEING TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE DELIVERY SERVICE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO PAY A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE.

You must pay the full requested price for any Product or Service before We will make it available to you. We currently only accept Visa and MasterCard for payments. Ongoing payments will be charged via your preferred method of payment on a monthly basis. Any remittances for replacements, returns, and exchanges will also be applied to your account on a monthly basis. If your preferred method of payment has the potential to become unavailable at any time in the future (for example, credit card), we encourage you to keep the payment information you provide to us up-to-date. If you do not do so, you authorize us to continue using that payment information to bill for the Services until we receive notice that it is no longer valid. Please read the “Ending or Changing the Services” section below for details on the renewal or cancelation of Services and charges.

We use Third-Party processors (such as Stripe) to process payments made using the Service. The Third-Parties collect the data and personal information you submit when a payment is made. By submitting personal information to a Third-Party processor, you consent to such collection and storage. The Third-Party processors may be located in countries other than Canada, such as the United States. Please review section 5 below, entitled “Rights of Third Parties” for additional information on the relationship of Third-Parties to the Services.

You may be charged local sales tax or VAT, if applicable.

Replacements, Returns, and Exchanges

Products can be returned to the following address:

DeliveryNet
45 Mural St, Unit 3,

It is your responsibility to ensure that the Products are sent to the correct address and that they are not damaged in transit.

11. Dispute Resolution

Arbitration Agreement

In these terms, “Arbitration Agreement” refers to section 11 (Dispute Resolution).

(1) Mandatory Arbitration. Any disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (except those that can be resolved in small claims court) will be resolved exclusively through binding, confidential, and individual arbitration conducted in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The arbitration will be held before a single arbitrator and in accordance with the applicable Ontario arbitration statute. No portion of the arbitration proceeding will be open to the public or the media. All evidence submitted or discovered in the process of the arbitration proceeding will be deemed confidential and may not be publicly disclosed, except as needed to enforce an arbitral award or to seek further injunctive or equitable remedies.

Non-appearance arbitration is available for any claims where the amount sought is under $10,000 USD. Claims seeking an award greater this amount may involve a hearing, subject to the rules of arbitration.

In the absence of an arbitrator’s decision to the contrary, each party will be responsible for their own costs, including legal expenses, fees, and disbursements. The authority of the arbitrator will mirror that of a judge in a court of law. The arbitrator will decide what liabilities, if any, have been incurred by either party and has the authority to dispose of the issue by granting any remedy available to an Ontario court. The decision of the arbitrator is final, non-appealable, enforceable at a court of competent jurisdiction, and binding on you and Parachute.

(2) Waiver of Jury Trials. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND PARACHUTE WAIVE ANY STATUTORY, CONSTITUTIONAL, OR OTHER RIGHTS TO BRING AN ACTION OR APPLICATION AT COURT AND YOUR RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A QUALIFYING CLAIM IN AN ONTARIO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. You instead elect that this Arbitration Agreement will govern the resolution of all claims and disputes. In the event that either party moves to vacate or enforce an arbitration decision made as between the parties, YOU AND PARACHUTE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. You instead elect that the dispute be resolved by a judge or panel of judges.

(3) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU AND PARACHUTE AGREE THAT ALL ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CONSOLIDATED ACTION, CLASS ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. AN ARBITRATOR PRESIDING OVER A PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR PRESIDE OVER A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS AGREEMENT PROHIBITS AN ARBITRATOR FROM AWARDING RELIEF OR REMEDIES ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.

(4) Small Claims Court. Where possible, claims should be resolved in the small claims court of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

(5) Opt Out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out, postmarked within 30 days of the date this Agreement, to Parachute. Your written notice must include your name, address, Parachute username and the email address you used to create your Parachute Account. If you send written notice, then the mandatory arbitration provisions in this Agreement will not apply to you or Parachute. FAILURE TO PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE WILL CONSTITUTE AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

(6) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these Terms and your relationship with Parachute.

12. Governing Law

These Terms, and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, are governed by the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding any conflict of laws which would lead to the application of other laws or principles. By accessing or using the Services, you agree that any action or proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to, or from, the Services shall be resolved, whether by arbitration or otherwise, exclusively within Ontario, Canada. Additionally, you consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts, tribunals, and arbitrators located within Ontario, Canada. You further agree that any such action or proceeding brought to enforce any right, assert any claim, or obtain any relief whatsoever in connection with the Services will be commenced exclusively in Ontario, Canada. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

13. Language

It is the express will of Parachute that these Terms and the Services are provided in English.

14. Severability

The validity and enforceability of these terms as a whole will not be affected by any part of these Terms being found unenforceable or invalid. If such a situation arises, the invalid or unenforceable part will be severed from these Terms.

15. Non-Assignment

These Terms are not assignable, transferable, or to be sub-licensed by you except with Parachute’s prior written consent. Parachute may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.

16. Miscellaneous

Parachute’s decision not to enforce a provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that term.
Throughout these Terms, the word “including” will mean “including without limitation”.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the final, exclusive, and entire agreement between you and Parachute. Any prior agreement you may have had with Parachute is superseded by these Terms.
