By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge your compliance with these Terms of Use as well as with any warnings or instructions for access or use that may, from time to time, be posted on the Site. You agree to act in accordance with the law, with custom and in good faith. Users are prohibited from accessing or using this Site for the purpose of causing harm to the Site, its contents or its security measures. You agree that you will not contact or use this Site to harass or disparage JOOTS, Inc., its personnel or its products and services and this includes a prohibition of the use of unsolicited email (spam) to or through this Site. Users may not use this Site to transmit, distribute, store, adapt, re-engineer or destroy material in violation of any applicable law or regulation or in any way that would infringe the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of others or that would violate the privacy or publicity or the personal rights of others, or in any manner that is libelous, obscene, threatening, hateful or otherwise abusive. If a user fails to comply, whether negligently or willfully, in any of these aforementioned obligations of our Terms of Use (which includes our Privacy Policy), that user will be held liable for any losses and damages that such actions may cause to JOOTS, Inc., our affiliates, partners, personnel or licensors.
6. Your User Account
One option for establishing your JOOTS, Inc. account is to register on the JOOTS, Inc. Site. For this, an email address/username and a password are required. It is your responsibility to keep your account, username and password confidential and to restrict access to your own computer as you are agreeing to accept responsibility for all activities that are generated under your account, username and/or password. The information you provide to us for the purpose of registering your account online must be accurate, truthful and must pertain to you, only. If you violate our Terms of Use or if we believe, in our sole discretion that JOOTS, Inc.’s best interests are not being served, we reserve the right to refuse to supply or service any user and/or to terminate any user account, even without warning.
7. Acceptance of Your Order
Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email acknowledgment noting the details of your order. This email is NOT a formal acceptance of your order; it is a review of our understanding of what you are ordering. Unless you cancel your order prior to its being shipped out to you, the order’s acceptance as well as the completion of the contract between you and JOOTS, Inc. are both realized upon our actual physical shipment of the ordered goods to you.
Because the sale contract is concluded in Ft. Myers, Florida, United States of America, English is the language of the sale contract.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse to fulfill an order for a number of reasons among which, but not limited to, are: our inability to obtain authorization for payment; shipping restrictions that may apply to a specific ordered item; ‘ship to’ locations that do not meet the specifications of our expeditors; an out-of-stock inventory position; a situation in which our quality control standards have led to the withdrawal of an item, or your ineligibility to meet any of the criteria described in these Terms of Use.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse to process a transaction for any reason or to refuse service to anyone at any time. We are not liable to you or to any third party if we choose to withdraw merchandise from the Site whether or not that specific merchandise has been sold. We are not liable to you if we screen, edit or remove any material or content on the Site, or if we refuse to process a transaction or if we suspend any transaction after processing has begun.
8. Fraud Protection
To protect our customers as well as ourselves, JOOTS, Inc. reserves the right to refuse to process any order due to suspected fraud or to unauthorized or illegal activity. In such a case, our customer service department may call you to discuss your order or, if we deem it necessary, we may reject your order. We reserve the right to close any account or to refuse to ship to any address due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity.
9. Termination of Account
We reserve the right, at any time, with or without prior notification, to suspend or terminate your account or your use of the Site. Should this occur, you are still personally liable for any orders that you have placed and for charges that you may have incurred prior to your account termination.
10. Payment
Payment may be made in a number of ways: by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, Visa Debit, Visa Delta, Electron or by JCB cards. Upon receipt of your order by JOOTS, Inc., payment will be debited and cleared from your account. You affirm that the credit or debit card that is being used for each transaction is yours. All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and to the card issuer’s authorization process. If your card issuer refuses to authorize payment to JOOTS, Inc., we will not be responsible or liable for any ensuing delay or non-delivery of your ordered merchandise.
11. Security
We strive to make our Site as safe and secure as possible. All credit card transactions on the Site are processed via Authorize.net, a protected online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. You will also be given the opportunity to securely store your payment card data in our systems. Users’ card details are fully encrypted and are only accessed to process card transactions that a user specifically authorizes.
Furthermore, JOOTS, Inc. uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to help provide a safe and simple shopping experience.
Our pledge to you is to take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but, barring certified, proven negligence on our part, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide while accessing or ordering from the Site.
12. Insurance
JOOTS, Inc. insures each purchase while the ordered goods are in transit. Upon delivery, you will be asked to sign for the merchandise before it will be relinquished to you and, at that point, responsibility passes to you for your purchased, delivered goods
13. Order Tracking
You are always able to check the status of your shipment by signing into your account online and selecting order status. Enter your unique tracking number which will be emailed to you with each order and we will track your shipment and then email its status to you. JOOTS, Inc. will store your transaction records for a period of one calendar year.
14. Message Boards/ Bulletin Boards
JOOTS, Inc. welcomes user comments. At times, we may offer users the opportunity to submit, post, display, transmit and/or to exchange information, ideas, tips, advice, opinions, photographs, images, video, creative works or other information, messages, transmissions or material to us, the Site or to others (collectively, "Postings"). Postings do not necessarily reflect the views of JOOTS, Inc. and JOOTS, Inc. has no obligation to monitor, edit, or review such Site Postings. JOOTS, Inc. is not responsible or liable for Postings—not for their content nor for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, threat, or inaccuracy that may be deemed to be contained within such Site Postings. Users are strictly prohibited from posting or transmitting material that is considered to be unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane or that could constitute or encourage behavior that could lead to a criminal offense, could give rise to civil liability, or might otherwise violate the law. JOOTS, Inc. cooperates, in full, with law enforcement and judicial authorities who request or order us to divulge the identities of any parties who attempt to post or who succeed in posting any such data. When using the JOOTS talk forum and chat rooms, kindly bear in mind that, in general, any information posted to message boards, chat rooms, blogs and all other such electronic meeting places, becomes non-proprietary and non-confidential. Because others in the public arena are able to view all the information and content you provide, you are urged to use caution when submitting your Postings. Due to the potentially public nature of the Postings, individuals under the age of 18 may not provide any information that could identify the originator’s identity. In accordance with the law and with our Privacy Policy, individuals under the age of 13 may not participate in our Postings without first submitting to JOOTS prior written notice from his or her parent or guardian.
15. Submissions
The Content you submit to JOOTS, Inc., including but not limited to suggestions, concepts, ideas, inquiries, data, materials, feedback, and other information, is treated as non-proprietary and non-confidential. By submitting such information to us, you hereby grant JOOTS, Inc. a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, publish, sell, assign, and/or to create products and services from the submissions and to distribute and display such information in any form, media, or technology, whether existing or hereafter developed, alone or as part of other works. You also agree that your submittals are non-returnable and that we may use them in whole or part for any purpose including, but not limited to development, manufacture, distribution, and marketing.
16. Linked Sites
It is strictly prohibited to link to third-party websites without JOOTS, Inc.'s expressed prior written permission. JOOTS, Inc. has no responsibility and assumes no liability for the unaffiliated sites to which it may be linked, including but not limited to the content or web pages or other products, services or materials on any other website that is linked to or posted to the Site by anyone other than JOOTS, Inc. representatives. With expressed prior written permission, we may allow some links to be established from time to time, but no link is ever an endorsement by JOOTS, Inc., of the referenced content, product, service or supplier. We may, in our sole discretion, request that allowed links to the Site be discontinued and, when requested, you must immediately remove such a link. Because the privacy policies of linked websites may differ from those of JOOTS, Inc., you should always review those of any third-party link’s website as you would, no longer, be governed by JOOTS, Inc.’s Privacy Policy.
17. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Notice
JOOTS, Inc. owns, protects, and enforces copyrights of its creative materials and respects the copyright protections afforded to others. When linking to third parties and third-party sites, portals, and directories through the Site, materials of third parties, not owned or controlled by JOOTS, Inc., may be included in or linked to the Site or may be stored or transmitted over JOOTS, Inc.'s own Site. JOOTS, Inc. strives to avoid copyright infringements of others but, should a linked website challenge this aim, upon our receipt of proper notice of any claimed infringement, JOOTS, Inc. will respond expeditiously to follow the procedures specified in the DMCA in an effort to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer. The designated agent to whom you may address any suspected copyright infringement is Customer Service at JOOTS, Inc. To do so, email info@JOOTS-usa.com. JOOTS, Inc. maintains the right to request that the issuer of the questioned materials remove or disable from our Site all access to the questioned materials. In no event shall JOOTS, Inc. be liable, directly or indirectly, to any party for any loss or damage arising from the use of a linked website and JOOTS, Inc. reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to add, change, decline or remove, without prior notice, any feature or link to a third party website.
