You must provide a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) to Shopify, our third party payment provider (“Payment Provider”) in order to purchase products and to use certain Services.

If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. By subscribing, you authorize Nécessaire and/or Shopify to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Shopify does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Nécessaire and/or Shopify may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received). You will have thirty (30) days from the Services Commencement Date, or any Renewal Commencement Date, for any Services hereunder, to cancel such Services, in which case Nécessaire will refund your Services subscription fee, if already paid for the applicable Services.

9.4 Basis of the Bargain. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN NÉCESSAIRE AND YOU.
10. Remedies. If Nécessaire becomes aware of any possible violations by you of the Terms, Nécessaire reserves the right to investigate such violations. If, as a result of the investigation, Nécessaire believes that criminal activity has occurred, Nécessaire reserves the right to refer the matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all applicable legal authorities. Nécessaire is entitled, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, to disclose any information or materials on or in Nécessaire Properties, including any content you may post, in Nécessaire’s possession in connection with your use of Nécessaire Properties, to (1) comply with applicable laws, legal process or governmental request; (2) enforce the Terms, (3) respond to any claims that the content you may post violates the rights of third parties, (4) respond to your requests for customer service, or (5) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Nécessaire, its Users or the public, and all enforcement or other government officials, as Nécessaire in its sole discretion believes to be necessary or appropriate.
11. Term and Termination.
11.1 Term. The Terms commence on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use Nécessaire Properties, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Terms.
11.2 Termination of Services by Nécessaire. If timely payment cannot be charged to your Payment Provider for any reason, if you have materially breached any provision of the Terms, or if Nécessaire is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Website or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), Nécessaire has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. Nécessaire reserves the right to refuse service and/or prohibit or terminate access to the Nécessaire Properties, in whole or in part, for any or no reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you. Further, your breach of these Terms may jeopardize your continued use of the Nécessaire Properties and may result in the cancellation of your orders, among other consequences. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Nécessaire’s sole discretion and that Nécessaire shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.
11.3 Termination of Services by You. If you want to terminate the Services provided by Nécessaire, you may do so by (a) notifying Nécessaire at any time and (b) closing your Account for all of the Services that you use. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to Nécessaire's address set forth below. THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.3.
11.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service. Termination of all Services also includes deletion of your password and all related information, files and Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof), including the content you may post. Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of any content you may post associated therewith from our live databases. Nécessaire will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of the content you may post. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
12. International Users. Nécessaire Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Nécessaire intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. Nécessaire Properties are controlled and offered by Nécessaire from its facilities in the United States of America. Nécessaire makes no representations that Nécessaire Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Nécessaire Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
13. Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Nécessaire and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
13.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Nécessaire, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or Nécessaire may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of these Terms.
13.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 or e-mailing us at [email protected]. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Nécessaire will pay them for you. In addition, Nécessaire will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
13.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Nécessaire. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
13.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND NÉCESSAIRE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Nécessaire are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 13.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
13.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
13.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 or e-mailing us at [email protected] within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Nécessaire username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Nécessaire account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
13.7 Severability. Except as provided in subsection 13.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
13.8 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Nécessaire.
13.9 Modification.
