Our websites include the sites located at www.happiness-project.com  and gretchenrubin.com (collectively, the “Site”), and our digital and mobile device applications include our Happier™ app (collectively, the “App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services, the App, and any features of the Site or App are collectively called the “Services.” Please read these Terms carefully because they govern your use of our Services.

You understand and agree that the Services, Products and any other information you learn from The Happiness Project  are not intended, designed, or implied to diagnose, prevent, mitigate or treat any condition or disease, to ascertain the state of your health, or to be a substitute for professional medical care. We are not a healthcare or medical provider, and our Services do not constitute, and should not be considered, medical advice. Not all activities described within the Services or Products are suitable for everyone. Do not use the Services while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing other tasks that require attention and concentration.

Purchases

Fees

We offer certain enhanced features of the Services which you can purchase as a monthly or yearly subscription basis (“Subscription”). A description of features associated with Subscriptions is available via the Services. When you purchase a Subscription or a Product, we may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your purchase, such as your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your address(es) for billing and delivery (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. The amounts due and payable by you for a purchase through the Services will be presented to you before you place your order.  If you choose to initiate a purchase transaction via the Services, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third party service providers so we can complete your purchase, and you further and agree: (a) that you will pay the applicable fees and any taxes; (b) that we may charge your credit card or third party payment processing account, including, but not limited to, your account with the app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore) where the App is made available (each, an “App Provider”), for verification, pre-authorization and/or payment purposes; and (c) that you will bear any additional charges that your App Provider, bank or other financial service provider may levy on you as well as any taxes or fees that may apply to your order.  You’ll receive a confirmation email after we confirm the payment for your order. Your order is not binding on us until accepted and confirmed. All payments made are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms.

If you have any concerns or objections regarding charges, you agree to raise them with us first and you agree not to cancel or reject any credit card or third party payment processing charges unless you have made a reasonable attempt at resolving the matter directly with us.

We reserve the right to cancel or otherwise not process your order in certain circumstances, for example, if your credit card is declined, if we suspect the request or order is fraudulent, or in other circumstances we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity in connection with your order. You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your purchase (which information is included within the definition of Payment Information). We will either not charge you or refund the charges for orders that we do not process or cancel.

Title, Risk of Loss

The risk of loss and title for Products purchased by you pass from us to you upon shipment from our facility.  All shipments are governed in accordance with our standard Shipping Terms.

Return Policy

If for any reason, you are not satisfied with the Product you have purchased and you want to return the Product, please refer to our Return Policy for information on how you may return eligible Products.

Subscriptions Automatically Renew Until You Cancel & How to Cancel Your Subscription

All amounts are payable and charged as follows: (i) for a one-off purchase, at the time you place your order; and (ii) For monthly or yearly subscriptions, at the beginning of the subscription period and, because each such subscription renews automatically for an additional period equal in length to the expiring subscription term until you cancel it, at the time of each renewal until you cancel, using the Payment Information you have provided. You must cancel your monthly or yearly Subscription before it renews to avoid the billing of the fees for the next Subscription period. If you purchase your Subscription via the Site, you can cancel the renewal of your subscription at any time by contacting us by email at support@the-happiness-project.com. If you purchase your Subscription via an App Provider, you can only cancel the renewal of your subscription directly through the App Provider. You will not receive a refund for the fees you already paid for your current subscription period and you will continue to receive the Services ordered until the end of your current Subscription period.

Changes to Price Terms for Subscriptions

We reserve the right to change our pricing terms for Subscriptions at any time and we will notify you in advance of such changes becoming effective. Changes to the pricing terms will not apply retroactively and will only apply for Subscription renewals after such changed pricing terms have been communicated to you. If you do not agree with the changes to our pricing terms then you may choose not to renew your Subscription in accordance with the section “Subscriptions Automatically Renew Until You Cancel & How to Cancel Your Subscription.”

Future Functionality

You agree that your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made regarding future functionality or features.

Neither Gretchen Rubin Media nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services, Products or Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute Services or Products arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, Products or Content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Gretchen Rubin Media has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Arbitration Notice

You agree that disputes between you and Gretchen Rubin Media  will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and you are waiving your right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Gretchen Rubin Media agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services, Products or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Gretchen Rubin Media otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration form and a separate form for Demand for Arbitration for California residents.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Gretchen Rubin Media otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Gretchen Rubin Media submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Calm will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Gretchen Rubin Media will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Gretchen Rubin Media changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@the-happiness-project.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Gretchen Rubin Media’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Gretchen Rubin Media in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Gretchen Rubin Media and you regarding the Services, Products and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Gretchen Rubin Media and you regarding the Services, Products and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the “Arbitration” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Gretchen Rubin Media’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Gretchen Rubin Media may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Gretchen Rubin Media under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) by Gretchen Rubin Media via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Gretchen Rubin Media’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Gretchen Rubin Media. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
