Any errors are wholly unintentional and we apologize if erroneous information is reflected in merchandise price, item availability, or in any way affects your individual order. We reserve the right to amend errors or to update product information at any time without prior notice. In the event a Watters product is listed at an incorrect price due to photographical error, typographical error or error in pricing information from our suppliers, Watters shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Watters shall issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price.

AVAILABILITY

At Watters, we go out of our way to create the kind of distinctive merchandise for which the Watters brand is recognized. Please understand that many of the items featured on the Websites are offered in limited quantities and, because of their limited availability, stock will not and cannot be refreshed. That means once an item is gone, it may be gone for good and not appear on the Websites again. When an item featured on the Websites is no longer available, we make every attempt to remove that item from the Websites in a timely manner.

PURCHASES

We might offer, sell, license or otherwise make available various products or services on, through or in relation to the Websites, some of which might only be made available to you upon completion and submission of an online form or other instructions provided to you. We have the right to refuse to sell or otherwise make available products and services to you if We suspect that you are in any way involved in fraudulent or illegal activity, (including, without limitation, the use of stolen credit cards); and may contact your payment method issuer, law enforcement or others and share information relating to your payments if We believe doing so will prevent a violation of the law or financial loss.

Certain sales transactions on or through the Websites might take place through an online shopping cart feature (“Shopping Cart”). Once you proceed to “check out” or the like, you will be able to review your order, update quantities, remove items and enter promotional codes, if any, as applicable. We will then ship or arrange for the shipment, or otherwise deliver or arrange for the delivery, of the purchased product items to you. All payment processing is provided by a third-party vendor, and resides on that third-party vendor’s website via a dedicated page or portal. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE APPLICABLE VENDOR’S TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY. All credit card, debit card and other monetary transactions on or through the Websites and/or a Shopping Cart occur through an online payment processing application that is provided by a third-party vendor(s). Our relationship with our third-party vendors, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as they are nothing more than third-party vendors and are in no way subject to our direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers, contractors or the like.

If you provide your payment information in connection with a purchase, then you authorize Watters to do the following as We deem necessary, although We have no obligation to do so: (a) share your payment information with our third-party payment processing vendor(s); (b) obtain your updated payment information from your payment issuer, our third-party payment processing vendor(s) and/or applicable third-party providers; and (c) use your payment information to charge payments that accrue under your account(s) with Watters in accordance with these Terms.

You agree that you are responsible for the payment of all amounts that accrue under your account(s) with Watters, our third-party payment processing vendor(s), and/or any other third-party providers on, through or in relation to the Websites. You also agree to be responsible for all payments, fines, penalties and other liabilities incurred by any such person or entity that arises out of or relates to payments that you authorize or accept on, through or in relation to the Websites, including, without limitation, all fees, penalties, taxes and duties; and to be responsible for all expenses (including costs and reasonable outside attorney fees) and interest incurred by any such person or entity to collect any overdue amounts.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to waive all claims against Watters and its affiliates related to any unauthorized payments made on, through or in relation to your account(s) with Watters, its third-party payment processing vendor(s), any other third-party providers and/or any other person or entity, regardless of whether they are authorized or unauthorized.

You represent and warrant that any payment information you provide on or through the Websites is current, complete and accurate; and that you will promptly notify Watters and/or update your User Account if your payment information has changed (such as a change in address or expiration date), if your payment method has been cancelled, or if you become aware of a breach of security.

In an effort to enhance your shopping experience and give as many customers as possible the opportunity to purchase our merchandise, we may place limits on purchases and we do not authorize the purchase of commercial quantities of our merchandise. We also may, among other things, restrict orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit, cancel or prohibit orders that, in our judgment, appear to be placed in violation of this policy. We further reserve the right to cease doing business with customers who violate this policy. We may modify this policy at any time without prior notice. This limits on purchases policy apply to all purchases of Watters merchandise, including, without limitation, all purchases made at our authorized retailers and through the Websites.

The arbitrator shall render a written final decision on the subject Dispute as soon as practicable and in any event not more than forty-five (45) days after the close of evidence and briefing.

JAMS’s administrative and filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses and all other fees and expenses charged by JAMS and/or the arbitrator to administer or conduct the arbitration shall be shared equally among all parties to the arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party of the arbitration may recover an award of its share of such fees and expenses if such an award is permitted under these Terms or applicable law.

In the event a particular Dispute is not subject to arbitration, each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of the State of Texas in Dallas County, Texas, United States of America and the United States federal courts in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, for the litigation of said Dispute, and covenant and agree that neither of the foregoing is an inconvenient venue or forum.

Regardless of whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration or litigation, each Party does hereby waive his/her/its right to a trial by jury, to participate as the member of a class in any purported class action or other proceeding or to name unnamed members in any purported class action or other proceedings.

The foregoing shall not prevent Waters from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
