TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO THE SITE AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (i) IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGMENT; AND (ii) WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, OR ANY PART THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE ALSO DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SITE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH IT, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SITE, YOUR DEALINGS WITH OTHER VISITORS TO AND USERS OF THE SITE, AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCTS YOU HAVE ORDERED THROUGH THE SITE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
Except where prohibited by law, these Terms and your use of the Site will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, both of us agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Volusia County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Please read this section carefully, as it affects your legal rights.
If you have any issues or disputes with us, we encourage you to contact us directly so we can work together in good faith to resolve the matter. If we cannot reach a resolution, we both agree to resolve any disputes through binding individual arbitration, rather than through court lawsuits or jury trials, except in small claims court. This means both of us waive the right to sue in court or participate in a class action.
Agreement to Arbitrate
This arbitration agreement applies to all users of the Site and covers any claims or disputes related to these Terms, your use of the Site, or any products or services obtained through the Site. By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to submit any disputes to binding arbitration, where a neutral arbitrator will decide the outcome. The arbitrator’s decision will be final, subject only to a limited right of review under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).
Exceptions to Arbitration
While most disputes are handled through arbitration, there are some situations where either of us may choose to go to court instead. These exceptions include (i) bringing an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursuing enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available; (iii) seeking injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) filing suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
Arbitration Process
If you wish to pursue arbitration, you must first send an individualized Notice of Dispute to HeadJacked@HeadJacked.com with your name, phone number, email, a description of the dispute, and how you would like it resolved. We’ll do the same if we have a dispute with you. This Notice of Dispute is a prerequisite to initiating any arbitration. Any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled from the date of a properly submitted individualized Notice of Dispute through the first date on which an arbitration may properly be filed under this section.
After one of us receives notice, we both agree to attempt to resolve the issue informally within 60 days. During this time, we will work in good faith to address and resolve the matter. If we cannot reach a resolution within this period, then either one of us may start the formal arbitration process by submitting a Demand for Arbitration to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You can download a Demand for Arbitration form (PDF) at this link.
The arbitration will be handled according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA and, when applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, both of which can be found at the AAA’s website. If the AAA is unable to administer the arbitration, we will mutually agree on a different administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will select the administrator for us.
The arbitration can be conducted in person, by phone, online, or through written submissions. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place either in the county where you live (for U.S. residents) or Volusia County, Florida or another mutually agreed location for non-U.S. residents. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator, who will review the evidence and issue a decision in writing. The arbitrator does not need to provide detailed reasons for their decision, unless one of us requests it. The decision will be final and binding. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. For more information on this alternative dispute resolution process, you can visit www.adr.org.
Any claim or dispute related to the Site must be brought within one (1) year from the date the issue first arose. After that time, no claims can be made. If any part of this section is found to be unenforceable, that specific portion will be handled in court, and the rest of the dispute will still go through arbitration. Both of us agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the court for any claims that can’t be arbitrated.
No Class Actions
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that each of us can only bring claims against the other as individuals. This means that neither you nor us can participate in or bring class actions, collective actions, or any other type of representative action against the other. Furthermore, we both waive our rights to join or consolidate claims with others in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding. Any dispute between us must be resolved on an individual basis only, and we may only seek or obtain individualized relief. If any portion of this waiver is found to be unenforceable for a particular claim or type of relief, only that part will be severed, and the rest of the claims will still be subject to arbitration.
Consent to Communications
By providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications from us, including promotional emails, newsletters, and updates regarding the Site. You are not required to provide your consent as a condition of using the Site or purchasing any products. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by following the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our emails.
Miscellaneous
These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site or in respect to the Site constitute the entire agreement between you and us. They supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, regarding your use of the Site. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed as necessary, and the remaining Terms will remain in full force and effect. If we don’t enforce any part of these Terms, it doesn’t mean we’ve waived our right to do so in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.
There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Site. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after any changes means you accept the new Terms. We recommend checking these Terms periodically for updates.
