Materials may include logos, graphics, video, images, software and other content. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, and your compliance with these Terms, Conair hereby grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use and to display the Materials and to use the Sites solely for your personal use. Except for the foregoing license (and the license set forth in the section below entitled Mobile Applications), you have no other rights in the Sites or any Materials and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any Site or Materials in any manner.

If you breach any of these Terms, the above license will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Materials.



Using the Site and the Services on the Site

You need not register with Conair to simply visit and view the Sites and use many of the Services available on the Sites or Mobile Applications. However, Conair may from time to time require you to register for an account with Conair in order to access certain password-restricted areas of a Site and to use certain Services and Materials offered on and through a Site or Mobile Application.

If account registration is offered and you desire to register for an account with Conair, you must submit information via the Mobile Application or through the account registration page on the Site (as applicable), which may include your e-mail address, name and mailing address. You may also have the ability to provide additional optional information about yourself, which is not required to register for the account, but may be helpful to Conair in providing you with a more customized experience when using the Site, the Mobile Application or the Services they provide. Once you have submitted your account registration information, Conair shall have the right to approve or reject the requested account, in Conair’s discretion. If your account is approved, you will be permitted to log in to the applicable Site(s) or Service(s) using the password you select.

You may also be provided with the ability to register for an account on the Site or Mobile Application using your existing account and log-in credentials through certain Third-Party Sites (as defined below) such as Facebook or Twitter.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Conair password and any Third-Party Site password used to access our Sites, Mobile Applications and/or Services (collectively, "Passwords”), and you are responsible for all activities that occur using your Passwords. You agree not to share your Passwords, let others access or use your Passwords, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your Passwords. You agree to notify Conair if any of your Passwords are lost or stolen, if you are aware of any unauthorized use of your Passwords or if you know of any other breach of security in relation to any Site or Mobile Application.

All the information that you provide when registering for an account and otherwise through the Sites or Mobile Applications must be accurate, complete and up to date. You may change, correct or remove any information from your account by logging into your account directly and making the desired changes.



Purchases

If applicable, you agree to pay all fees or charges associated with your use of the Sites or purchases made on the Sites pursuant to any Conair billing terms in effect as shown on the applicable product or payment pages. If you do not pay on time or if Conair cannot charge your credit card or other applicable payment method for any reason, Conair reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to any or all of the Sites and/or your account, and terminate these Terms. You are expressly agreeing that Conair is permitted to bill you for the applicable fees, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Sites and that fees will be billed to your credit card or other Conair-approved payment method. If the product or service you have purchased involves a subscription or recurring payments, you agree that Conair may charge your credit card or other Conair-approved payment method thereafter at regular intervals for the term of the recurring payments. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms or separate product purchase terms on a Site, or by applicable laws, all fees and charges are non-refundable. If you have a balance due on any account, you agree that Conair may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or other payment method, or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.

All prices displayed on the Sites are quoted in Canadian dollars. Shipping and handling fees and applicable sales/use tax will be added by Conair as necessary. Conair reserves the right to make changes to pricing and specifications without prior notice and without incurring any obligations to you, and to restrict delivery to addresses within Canada. Conair reserves the right to limit the number of items ordered and to refuse services to any customer without prior notification. In the event that an item lists an incorrect price, either due to typographical or other error, Conair shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order placed for the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order is being or has been processed. If payment has already been made or if a credit card has already been charged for the purchase and the order is cancelled, Conair shall promptly credit the credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price.

By using a Site, a Mobile Application and/or the Services, you consent to receiving electronic communications from Conair. These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to the Site, Mobile Application and/or Services provided on or through the Site and/or Mobile Applications.

Unless specifically stated on our Site or Mobile Application, we do not endorse any such Third-Party Sites, the products, services, or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them.



Submissions

You are responsible for the information, opinions, messages, comments, photos, videos, graphics, sounds and other content or material that you submit, upload, post, create or otherwise generate or make available on or through any of our Sites, Mobile Applications or Services (each a “Submission”). You may not upload, post or otherwise generate or make available to us any material protected by copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of such copyright, trademark or other proprietary right, and the burden of determining whether any material is protected by any such right is on you. You shall be solely liable for any damage resulting from any infringement of copyrights, trademarks, proprietary rights, violation of contract, privacy or publicity rights or any other harm resulting from any Submission that you make. You have full responsibility for each Submission you make, including its legality, reliability and appropriateness.

Said uses may include, but are not limited to, posting a Submission on any website or social media site, transmitting the Submissions to consumers via e-mail and reproducing, displaying the Submissions on computers and mobile devices or reproducing your Submissions in print. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive and agree not to assert any and all copyright rights, moral rights or rights of attribution and integrity in your Submissions, if any, against any Licensee. Any Licensee may modify or adapt your Submissions in order to transmit, display or distribute them over computer networks and in various media and/or make changes to the Submissions as necessary to conform and adapt them to any requirements or limitations of any networks, devices, services or media. Conair agrees to use any personally identifiable information contained in any of your Submissions in accordance with Conair’s Privacy Policy.

You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, damages and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Submissions you provide.

When you provide Submissions you agree that those Submissions shall not be in violation of the “Unauthorized Activities” paragraph below. Those prohibitions do not require Conair to monitor, police or remove any Submissions or other information submitted by you or any other user.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by contacting us at consumer_canada@conair.com. This “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver” provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and Conair. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

Please read this Provision carefully. It provides that, except where prohibited by applicable law, all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Conair shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees).

For the purpose of this Provision, “Conair” means Conair Consumer Products ULC, Conair division and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Conair regarding any aspect of your relationship with Conair, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Conair’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND CONAIR EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW WAIVERS OF THE RIGHT TO SUE OR TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE EXCLUSIONS OR WAIVERS IN THIS PROVISION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Conair an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to Conair Canada, 100 Conair Parkway, Woodbridge, ON L4H 0L2. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, you or Conair may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to Conair Canada, 100 Conair Parkway, Woodbridge, ON L4H 0L2, Attention: Legal Department. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Conair through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Conair. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If Conair does not resolve a Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you or Conair may, by written notice to the other, require that the Dispute be submitted to arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with Ontario’s Arbitration Act, 1991, SO 1991, c 17, and the rules of procedure for arbitration established from time to time by the ADR Institute of Canada (provided that such rules do not conflict with any provision of this Dispute Resolution Procedure).

You agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate your Dispute with the Dispute of one or more other persons, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding unless both you and Conair specifically agree. Further, you agree that you will not be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding in respect of any Dispute.

If you and Conair cannot agree on the appointment of the single arbitrator, the single arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the procedure set out at section 3.2 of the ADR Institute of Canada’s Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration shall be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and conducted in English unless you and Conair agree otherwise.

The law that applies to these Terms and to your access to and use of a Site. Mobile Application and the Materials, and that, accordingly, shall be applied in connection with the arbitration, are the laws of the Province of Ontario and the Federal Laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, but excluding Ontario’s conflict of law rules.

The arbitrator will have the discretionary authority to grant specific performance, rectification, injunctions and other equitable relief as may be requested by you or Conair.

Notwithstanding the above and the ADR Institute of Canada’s Arbitration Rules, you agree that Conair may apply at any time for an emergency or interim remedy to enforce or prevent the breach of the Terms including specific performance and injunctive relief on an interim or interlocutory basis.

You and Conair agree that all aspects of the arbitration, including any documents that are produced or that may be exchanged in the context of the arbitration, will be kept confidential.

You and Conair agree that the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award costs against you or Conair.

You and Conair agree that any decision made or award granted by the Arbitrator is final, binding, and not subject to appeal, except to the extent permitted by Ontario’s Arbitration Act, 1991, SO 1991, c 17.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision or where applicable legislation prohibits such a waiver, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Conair specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither you, nor any other user of the Site or a Mobile Application can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and Conair are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court (except where applicable legislation prohibits such a waiver). In the absence of this Provision, you and Conair might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable.

If this Provision as a whole is not enforceable for any reason, then, except where prohibited by law, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to any Dispute will be decided by a court in Toronto, Ontario.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with Conair or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Conair makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Conair to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.



Mobile Application

Conair may make Mobile Applications available for use with mobile devices. To use a Mobile Application you must have a compatible mobile device. Conair does not warrant that any Mobile Application made available to you will be compatible with your mobile device. Conair hereby grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use an object code copy of the Mobile Application on one mobile device owned or leased solely by you, for your personal use. You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Application, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law; (ii) rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the Mobile Application to any third party or use the Mobile Application to provide time sharing or similar services for any third party; (iii) make any copies of the Mobile Application; (iv) remove, circumvent, disable, damage or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Mobile Application, features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content accessible through the Mobile Application, or features that enforce limitations on use of the Mobile Application; or (v) delete the copyright and other proprietary rights notices on the Mobile Application. You acknowledge that Conair may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Mobile Application, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Mobile Application that you are using on your mobile device. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Application or any copy thereof, and Conair and its third-party licensors or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to any Mobile Application (and any copy of the Mobile Application) Conair may make available to you. Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of the Mobile Application.

The following additional terms and conditions apply with respect to any Mobile Application that Conair may provide to you designed for use on an Apple iOS-powered mobile device (an “iOS App”):
