Our marketplace is built on gratitude and trust. Providing false, inaccurate, or misleading information is prohibited by our Terms of Use. If we find that you’re not being open and honest with us, we may suspend or terminate your account.

Based on this, Surprise Factor is totally exempt from any responsibility in relation to allergies or food intolerances, or other special conditions of users. 5.    In the case of orders through the Platform for packaged products of a certain brand, the Client will be able to verify the composition of the product in question on the brand’s website, leaving Surprise Factor totally exempt from liability in the event of allergies and food intolerances, or other special conditions of the user.

  1. You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If you’re registering as a business entity, you personally guarantee that you have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the business. Also, your accounts are not transferable.

 

 

  1. Protect your password. As we mentioned above, you’re solely responsible for any activity on your account, so it’s important to keep your account password secure.

 

  1. Let’s be clear about our relationship. These Terms don’t create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and Surprise Factor.
  2. Your Content

Content that you post using our Services is your content (so let’s refer to it as “Your Content”). We don’t make any claim to it, which includes anything you post using our Services (like shop names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing descriptions, reviews, comments, videos, usernames, etc.).

  1. Responsibility for Your Content. You understand that you are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all necessary rights to all parts of Your Content and that you’re not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.

 

  1. Permission to Use Your Content. By posting Your Content through our Services, you grant Surprise Factor a license to use it. We don’t claim any ownership to Your Content, but we have your permission to use it to help Surprise Factor function and grow. That way, we won’t infringe any rights you have in Your Content and we can help promote it. For example, you acknowledge and agree Surprise Factor may offer you or Surprise Factor buyers promotions on the Site, from time to time, that may relate to your listings
  2. Rights You Grant Surprise Factor.

By posting Your Content, you grant Surprise Factor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works of Your Content. This allows us to provide the Services and to promote Surprise Factor, your Surprise Factor shop, or the Services in general, in any formats and through any channels, including across any Surprise Factor Services, our partners, or third-party website or advertising medium. You agree not to assert any moral rights or rights of publicity against us for using Your Content. You also recognize our legitimate interest in using it, in accordance with the scope of this license, to the extent Your Content contains any personal information.

That sounds like a lot, but it’s necessary for us to keep Surprise Factor going. Consider these examples: if you upload a photo or video of a listing on your Surprise Factor shop, we have permission to display it to buyers, and we can resize or enhance it so it looks good to a buyer using our mobile app; if you post a description in English, we can translate it into Spanish so a buyer in spanish can learn about your item; and if you post a beautiful photo or video of your latest handmade gift, we can feature it– often along with your shop name and shop picture– on our homepage, in one of our blogs or even on a billboard to help promote your business and Surprise Factor’s.

  1. Reporting Unauthorized Content. Surprise Factor has great respect for intellectual property rights, and is committed to following appropriate legal procedures to remove infringing content from the Services. If content that you own or have rights to has been posted to the Services without your permission and you want it removed, please follow the steps listed in our Intellectual Property Policy. If Your Content is alleged to infringe another person’s intellectual property, we will take appropriate action, such as disabling it if we receive a report of infringement that complies with our policies, or terminating your account if you are found to be a repeat infringer. We’ll notify you if any of that happens.
  2. Inappropriate, False, or Misleading Content. This should be common sense, but there are certain types of content we don’t want posted on Surprise Factor’s Services (for legal reasons or otherwise).

You also agree not to post any content that is false and misleading or uses the Services in a manner that is fraudulent or deceptive.

  1. Privacy and Protecting Personal Information

You are responsible for protecting members’ personal information you receive or process, and you must comply with all relevant legal requirements. This includes applicable data protection and privacy laws that govern the ways in which you can use Surprise Factor user information. These laws may require that you post and comply with your own privacy policy, which must be accessible to Surprise Factor users with whom you interact. Your privacy policy must be compatible with this policy and Surprise Factor’s Terms of Use, and Surprise Factor’s Privacy Policy.

In particular, when you sell using our Services (subject to this Policy) or use Surprise Factor’s API (also subject to the Surprise Factor API Terms of Use), you may receive and determine what to do with certain personal information, such as when communicating with users and entering into transactions with buyers. This means you process personal information (for example, buyer name, email address, and shipping address) and, to the extent you do so, under EU law, you are an independent controller of data relating to other users that you may have obtained through the Services. For more information on the General Data Protection Regulation, see more resources at https://gdpr-info.eu and http://gdprandyou.ie. As a data controller (that is someone who decides what personal data is collected and the purpose you’ll use the data for) to the extent that you process user personal information outside of the Services, you may be required under applicable data protection and privacy laws to honor requests received from such users for data access, portability, correction, deletion, and objections to processing. Also, if you disclose personal information without the buyer’s proper consent, you are responsible for that unauthorized disclosure. This includes, for example, disclosures you make or unintentional data breaches. For example, you may receive a buyer’s email address or other information as a result of entering into a transaction with that buyer. This information may only be used for Surprise Factor-related communications or for Surprise Factor-facilitated transactions. You may not use this information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without the buyer’s consent, and subject to other applicable Surprise Factor policies and laws, you may not add any Surprise Factor member to your email or physical mailing list, use that buyer’s identity for marketing, or obtain or retain any payment information. Please bear in mind that you’re responsible for knowing the standard of consent required in any given instance. If Surprise Factor and you are found to be joint data controllers of personal information, and if Surprise Factor is sued, fined, or otherwise incurs expenses because of something that you did in your capacity as a joint data controller of buyer personal information, you agree to indemnify Surprise Factor for the expenses it occurs in connection with your processing of buyer personal information.

  1. Communication Standards
  2. Messages

With Surprise Factor’s “Messages”, you have the ability to communicate directly with your buyers or other Surprise Factor members. Messages are a great way for buyers to ask you questions about an item or an order.

Messages may not be used for the following activities:

  1. Sending unsolicited advertising or promotions, requests for donations, or spam;
  2. Harassing or abusing another member or violating our Anti-Discrimination Policy;
  3. Contacting someone after they have explicitly asked you not to; or

  5. Exchanging personal contact, financial or other information for the purposes of evading the checkout process on Surprise Factor, including phone number, address, email, social media handles, external URLs, instructions for money transfer, etc.

Interference

Interference occurs when a member intentionally interferes with another member’s shop in order to drive away their business. Interference is strictly prohibited on Surprise Factor. Examples of interference include:

  1. Contacting another member via Messages to warn them away from a particular member, shop, or item;
  2. Posting in public areas to demonstrate or discuss a dispute with another member;
  3. Purchasing from a seller for the sole purpose of leaving a negative review;
  4. Maliciously clicking on a competitor’s ads in order to drain that member’s advertising budget, also known as “click fraud.”
  5. Creating or using an independent buyer account to maliciously upvote another shop’s negative reviews in order to position those reviews more prominently.

Harassment and Discrimination

Any use of Messages to harass other members is strictly prohibited. Similarly, Messages may not be used to support or glorify hatred or otherwise violate our Anti-Discrimination Policy. If you receive a Message that violates this policy, please let us know right away.

  1. Forums and Teams

Forums and Teams are public spaces provided by Surprise Factor where sellers can connect, but there are communication standards that must be followed. More information can be found in the Surprise Factor Community Policy.

iii. Communicating Cancellations

If you are unable to complete a transaction, you must notify the buyer via Messages and cancel the transaction. If the buyer already submitted payment, you must issue a full refund. You are encouraged to keep proof of any refunds in the event a dispute arises. All cancellations are subject to our Cancellation Policy.

Sellers may still cancel an order and work toward a resolution with a buyer as they see fit for policies applied to their shops, such as the digital items policy.

3.PAYMENTS AND FEES

By opening a Surprise Factor shop, you’re agreeing to this policy and our Terms of Use.

  1. Types of Fees

Sellers may be required to pay the following types of fees. Please note that all fees are listed exclusive of any value-added tax (VAT) or similar taxes that may apply. See the Taxes section below for further details. It’s important to note that all service fees, including prepaid fees, are non-refundable.

Listing Fees

You will be charged a listing fee of $0.15 USD for each item that you list for sale on Surprise Factor.com or Surprise Factor’s mobile apps. You will only be charged a listing fee for creating or renewing a listing on Surprise Factor; there is no fee for editing a listing. If you list multiple quantities of the same item, the initial listing fee will be $0.15, and the listing will be automatically renewed at $0.15 after each of the items sells. Listing fees are reflected in your payment account and deducted at the time the listing is published or renewed.

Transaction Fees

When you make a sale through Surprise Factor.com, you will be charged a transaction fee of 5% of the price you display for each listing plus the amount you charge for shipping and gift wrapping. If you sell from anywhere other than the US and Canada, the transaction fee will apply to the listing price (which should include any applicable taxes), shipping price, and gift wrapping fee. If you offer optional personalization for an additional fee, the additional fee for personalization is added to the listing price you display and the total display price is subject to the same transaction fees described in this Section. See the Taxes section below for more information about whether you are required to include applicable taxes in your listing prices. Transaction fees are deducted from your current balance as each sale occurs, and are reflected in your payment account.

Advertising and Promotional Fees

Surprise Factor offers multiple services to help you advertise your listings and promote your shop, including Surprise Factor Ads and Offsite Ads.

One of our premises is offer Surprise Factor Ads to help to publicize your products and grow your business. Additionally, you can set a budget to limit the amount you’re willing to pay for Surprise Factor Ads to promote your listings or shops on Surprise Factor. For Offsite Ads, fees are only charged if Surprise Factor’s advertising your listing directly results in a sale, as set forth in more detail below. All bids are made in United States dollars (USD). Surprise Factor Ads fees may be charged on a recurring basis and are deducted from your current balance and reflected in your payment account. For more information, please see the Advertising & Marketing Policy.

Offsite Ads Fees

Surprise Factor purchases offsite advertising from a network of participating partners, such as social networks and search engines. If such advertising includes your listing, a buyer clicks on it, and then places any orders from your shop within 30 days of that click, you will be charged an advertising fee on these orders (which we’ll refer to collectively as “Attributed Orders” and individually as an “Attributed Order”).

The Offsite Ads fee you are charged for Attributed Orders depends on your shop’s sales over the prior 365 days, as follows:

  1. The standard fee you will pay is 15% on Attributed Orders, unless the 12% fee applies as described below.
  2. If your shop has made less than $10,000 USD in sales over the prior 365 days as calculated on the first day of the month, you will pay a fee of 15% (as described in the section below) on Attributed Orders, unless you opt out of participation in Offsite Ads for the duration your shop is under the $10,000 USD threshold. The 15% fee and opt-out apply until or unless you at any time meet the $10,000 USD threshold.
  3. If at any time your shop has made sales of $10,000 USD or more over the prior 365 days as calculated on the first day of the month, you will subsequently pay a fee of 12% (as described in the section below) on Attributed Orders, as of the beginning of the program if you immediately qualify, and otherwise on the first day of the month following qualification. If you subsequently fall below the $10,000 USD threshold at a later date, you will still only be charged a 12% advertising fee for the lifetime of your shop. If you opted out of participation in Offsite Ads prior to meeting the $10,000 USD threshold, you will be required to participate and will be charged a 12% advertising fee on Attributed Orders for the lifetime of your shop upon reaching the $10,000 USD threshold. The prior opt out while under the $10,000 USD threshold will no longer apply (even if you subsequently fall below the $10,000 USD threshold at a later date).
  4. Beginning a month after initial calculations when the program starts, Surprise Factor will perform subsequent calculations on the first day of each calendar month and will give you notice if you have crossed the $10,000 USD threshold.

For the purpose of calculating this $10,000 USD threshold, sales are calculated by multiplying item price by quantity (minus any discounts or formally cancelled orders), but excluding Pattern orders, In Person Payment orders, Surprise Factor fees, or separately charged shipping, taxes, or gift wrap.

 

How Offsite Ads fees are calculated:

Offsite Ads fees apply to Attributed Orders and are charged as a percentage of the total order amount, which comprises the price you display for each listing plus the amount you charge for shipping and gift wrapping and in some jurisdictions, taxes, as set forth below. The applicable percentage charge, either 12% or 15%, is determined as described above.

Payment Processing Fees

Online Sales. Eligible Surprise Factor shops may use Surprise Factor Payments to accept certain payments through Surprise Factor (learn more about Surprise Factor Payments below). Payment processing fees are charged for each transaction made through Surprise Factor Payments. Payment processing fees vary based on the location of your bank account. In certain markets, a fixed deposit fee may be charged for the disbursement of seller funds that are under certain designated thresholds. The payment processing fee is assessed on the total amount of the sale, including tax and shipping. Payment processing fees are deducted from the sale amount in your payment account. Deposit fees are deducted from your Available Funds and reflected in your payment account at the time of your scheduled deposit.

Shipping Fees

Surprise Factor offers sellers the opportunity to set if they can have the option to Delivery, Pick up or Shipping options. That’s why we offer in certain locations, the ability to purchase shipping labels to fulfill their orders. The cost of the shipping label will depend on the shipping carrier, and the origin, destination, weight, and dimensions of the package. If you add signature confirmation or insurance, those fees will be added to the total cost of the label at the point of purchase. Sellers who purchase shipping labels may also purchase parcel insurance through licensed insurance carriers. U.S. Sellers who purchase USPS shipping return labels will be charged after delivery of the returned package. You must accept Surprise Factor Payments as payment methods to purchase shipping labels through Surprise Factor. Shipping fees and any adjustments are reflected in your payment account and deducted from your current balance.

  1. Fee Avoidance

Any action by a seller to avoid paying a fee is considered fee avoidance and is strictly prohibited by Surprise Factor. This includes, for example, encouraging buyers to purchase an item in your Surprise Factor shop through another venue. A transaction initiated on Surprise Factor may not be completed off of Surprise Factor. The price stated in each listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may not alter the item’s price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Surprise Factor transaction fees, misrepresent the item’s location, or use another user’s account without permission.

  1. Surprise Factor Payments

Surprise Factor will automatically deduct all fees owed from your payment account. Surprise Factor Payments accept payment from buyers by major credit or debit cards accepted Surprise Factor Gift Cards, Surprise Factor Credits and Surprise Factor Coupons (subject to applicable limitations, see Surprise Factor Gift Cards, Credits & Coupons Policy), by certain bank transfer services.

As soon as the gifts are delivered, every week we will deposit the total amount collected by the buyers and we deducted the amount for fees associated with the order posted in your account.

  1. Taxes

Aside from the limited circumstances set out below, you are responsible for collecting and paying any taxes associated with using and making sales through Surprise Factor’s services. Surprise Factor will issue 1099-K forms to certain sellers to comply with IRS and state requirements. You may opt in at any time to receive your 1099-K form electronically.

  1. Listing your items on Surprise Factor

The sales tax settings in Shop Manager are used for states/regions where Surprise Factor doesn’t automatically collect sales tax on your behalf.

 

Where Surprise Factor is required to collect sales tax/VAT on your behalf, Surprise Factor will use the category you assigned to each listing to calculate, collect, and remit the applicable taxes. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all of your listings are properly categorized, and you agree to indemnify Surprise Factor for any losses it incurs in connection with any miscategorization of your listings by you.

Please remember that Surprise Factor’s fees do not include any withholding taxes that might apply in your home country. You are required to pay Surprise Factor the full amount of our fees and may not deduct any applicable withholding taxes from that amount.

Please also note that some countries require Surprise Factor to apply VAT on the fees that you may be charged in accordance with this policy, and that the fees listed in this policy are exclusive of VAT. See this Help article for more information on VAT.

  1. Taxes on Seller Services

United States Sales Tax

In most US states, as applicable, Surprise Factor will collect the sales tax amount from the buyer and pay this to the relevant tax authority. If the sale was made through Surprise Factor Payments, the sales tax amount will appear in your payment account and is deducted from your current balance.

For items shipped to certain states, including but not limited to Washington state (or, for digital items, those purchased with a Washington state billing address), Surprise Factor will use the category you assigned to each listing to calculate, collect, and remit the applicable sales tax based on the buyer’s location in the US. For a full list of these states, please see here.

Taxes Collected and Remitted from buyers outside the US

Digital VAT Fees

Under local laws in certain countries, Surprise Factor is required to collect and remit VAT to the relevant tax authorities when you sell a digital item delivered via automatic download to the buyer. Surprise Factor will automatically display the increased amount charged to the buyer of the digital item to collect the correct amount of VAT, and we will remit it to the tax authorities. If the sales were made through Surprise Factor Payments, Surprise Factor will collect the VAT amount from the buyer and pay the VAT to the relevant tax authority, and you will not have to take any further action. If the sale was not made through Surprise Factor Payments, you will receive the additional amount paid by the buyer for the VAT, and you will need to pay this amount to Surprise Factor. The VAT amount paid by the buyer will appear on your payment account and will be deducted from your current balance.

  1. Shipping
    1. When you receive notice that a buyer has paid for an item through a Managed Payments transaction, you must then ship or otherwise deliver your item in accordance with the buyer’s selection from theshipping options that you made available in your listing. You agree to deliver all items purchased pursuant to the terms of your listing and the User Agreement, and perform all other necessary transaction-related actions, when we notify you that we have received payment from your buyer.

 

  1. Feedback, Cases and Your Success
  2. Reviews

Reviews are a great way for you to build a reputation on Surprise Factor. Buyers can leave a review, including a one to five star rating and a photograph or video of their purchase, within 100 days after the latter date of their item’s estimated delivery date. If an estimated delivery date is not available, the review window opens after the order’s processing time and shipping time have elapsed. Buyers can edit their review, including the photograph or video, any number of times during that 100 day period.

On the rare occasion you receive an unfavorable review, you can reach out to the buyer or leave a response.

In addition to our rules for Creating and Uploading Content in Section 2a, reviews and your response to reviews may not:

  1. Contain graphic, mature, or obscene language or imagery, or any content that is subject to our mature content policy;
  2. Be about things outside the seller’s control, such as a shipping carrier, Surprise Factor or a third party;
  3. Include shilling or otherwise falsely inflate a shop’s review score; or
  4. Undermine the integrity of the Reviews system.
  1. Surprise Factor’s Case System

The Case system is how a buyer notifies Surprise Factor of an order issue or dispute that they’re unable to resolve with a seller, in order for Surprise Factor to help them reach a resolution.  Buyers must contact sellers directly via the Help with Order link and attempt to resolve any outstanding issues before opening a case on Surprise Factor. For this reason, it is important that you fill out your shop policies and regularly respond to Messages from your buyers. Once a buyer contacts you to notify you of a problem with an order, you will have 48 hours to resolve the issue. If the issue is unresolved in this time frame, a case may be opened by the buyer. Once a case has been opened, Surprise Factor will assist in the resolution of the case between the buyer and seller. This may include, but is not limited to, automatically closing the case and issuing a refund to the buyer, or reviewing the case further to help the buyer and seller resolve it as quickly as possible.

Surprise Factor reserves the right to resolve an order issue before the 48-hour window for circumstances including, but not limited to, seller inactivity, harassment, refusal of service, manipulation, and undermining the integrity of the case system.

Buyers may file a case for items that never arrive, arrive damaged, or do not match the listing description as part of Surprise Factor’s Purchase Protection Program (for more information on case eligibility, click here. Surprise Factor may request your assistance in resolving a case opened against your shop. By using Surprise Factor’s case system, you understand that Surprise Factor may use your personal information for the purpose of resolving disputes with other members. For more information on our privacy policy, click here.

For certain cases, sellers are protected by Surprise Factor’s Purchase Protection Program. If the case falls outside of Surprise Factor’s Purchase Protection Program for Sellers, unless otherwise required by law, you will be required to refund the order, including original shipping and return shipping. Surprise Factor reserves the right to issue a refund to the buyer and recoup funds from your account, including your payment account reserve, if payment was made via Surprise Factor Payments.

  1. Your Seller Account and Surprise Factor’s Terms

In order to keep Surprise Factor safe and improve our Services, we may take actions that limit the visibility of your shop, listings or ads, or that impact your payment account. In the event a shop sees unusual order activity, or we otherwise believe that your actions or shop may result in buyer disputes, chargebacks, increased risk of fraud, counterfeiting, or other claims, Surprise Factor may take actions such as limiting visibility of your account, or placing restrictions or reserves on your payments account, in accordance with our Terms of Use, including this Policy and our Surprise Factor Payments Policy. When appropriate and permitted by law, Surprise Factor will communicate information to the affected seller about the issue.

In the event a shop sees an unusual spike in orders, particularly in a high demand category, a shop may see an increase or decrease in its search ranking. Often, if a shop sees an increase in fulfilled orders and good reviews, this may result in higher visibility and search rank. However, sometimes a rapid increase in orders can reduce visibility. Read more about how Surprise Factor search works, and what factors impact search ranking, and how you can help optimize your listings and shop here and in  The Ultimate Guide to Surprise Factor Search.

In addition, we may limit the visibility of listings or ads in the interest of keeping Surprise Factor safe, and improving our Services. For example, listings or ads may have decreased visibility because they include terms that represent a prohibited item or based on third party policies. These listings or ads may also be restricted from appearing in one or more features of the Services. While these listings or ads may have limited visibility, they are still discoverable in search.

Surprise Factor may make changes to onboarding or authentication processes for sellers at our sole discretion. Completion of these processes may be required for seller account activation or continued access and usage.

If Surprise Factor has reason to believe you, Your Content, or your use of the Services violate our Terms, including this Seller Policy, we may deactivate Your Content to some or all users, or suspend or terminate your account (and any accounts Surprise Factor determines is related to your account) and your access to the Services. Generally, Surprise Factor will notify you that Your Content or account has been suspended or terminated, unless you’ve repeatedly violated our Terms or we have legal or regulatory reasons preventing us from notifying you.

  1. Warranties and Limitation of Liability (or the Things You Can’t Sue Us For)

Items You Purchase. You understand that Surprise Factor does not manufacture, store, or inspect any of the items sold through our Services. We provide the venue; the items in our marketplaces are produced, listed, and sold directly by independent sellers, so Surprise Factor cannot and does not make any warranties about their quality, safety, authenticity, or their legality. Any legal claim related to an item you purchase must be brought directly against the seller of the item. You release Surprise Factor from any claims related to items sold through our Services, including for defective items, misrepresentations by sellers, or items that caused physical injury (like product liability claims).

Content You Access. You may come across materials that you find offensive or inappropriate while using our Services. We make no representations concerning any content posted by users through the Services. Surprise Factor is not responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of content posted by users that you accessed through the Services.

Third-Party Services. Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that we don’t own or control (for example, links to Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest). You may also need to use a third party’s product or service in order to use some of our Services (like a compatible mobile device to use our mobile apps).

You also acknowledge that we may suspend or prohibit use of your Gift Card if your Gift Card or Gift Card code has been reported lost or stolen, or if we believe your Gift Card balance is being used suspiciously, fraudulently, or in an otherwise unauthorized manner. If your Gift Card code stops working, your only remedy is for us to issue you a replacement Gift Card code. By participating in a special offer or promotion, you agree that you may not later claim that the rules of that special offer or promotion were ambiguous.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Surprise Factor and its licensee and licensors, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees), resulting from or arising out of (i) your use and access of the Service, by you or any person using your account and password; (ii) a breach of these Terms, or (iii) content posted by you on the Surprise Factor website.

If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and Surprise Factor agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in Miami, Florida for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the service from our offices in Florida, and we make no representation that the service offered is appropriate or available for use in other locations.

Questions or Comments

Our Site is maintained in the United States. By using the site, you authorize the export of personal information to the United States and its storage and use as specified in this policy.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Surprise Factor in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Surprise Factor agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SURPRISE FACTOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Any arbitration between you and Surprise Factor will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Surprise Factor.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Surprise Factor’s address for Notice is:

[5819 6th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108]

The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you and Surprise Factor may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you and Surprise Factor must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Surprise Factor will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Surprise Factor in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Surprise Factor will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in King County, Washington, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Surprise Factor for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

YOU AND SURPRISE FACTOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Surprise Factor agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

If Surprise Factor makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Surprise Factor’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Surprise Factor’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Surprise Factor will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.]

Effective Date

These Terms are effective and were last updated on October 5, 2022.
