Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Shop’sMe (“Shop’sMe,” “we,” or “us”) and our website at www.shopsmenow.com, along with our related websites, networks, applications, mobile applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Shop’sMe regarding your use of the Service.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:
BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SHOP’SME’S PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND SHOP’SME’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY SHOP’SME AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 17, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND Shop’sMe ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 17.)
Credit Card Authorization. You agree that Shop’sMe or the applicable Merchant (defined below) will obtain a credit card authorization for the credit card you have on file with Shop’sMe to cover the cost of the Merchant Products (defined below) ordered from a Merchant via the Service and any separate fees charged by Shop’sMe in connection with that order or other services provided by Shop’sMe and your card will be charged for the cost of the Merchant Products purchased by you and any applicable fees, taxes and/or tips arising in connection with each order for Merchant Products or agreement to purchase any Shop’sMe Services. YOUR CARD MAY BE TEMPORARILY AUTHORIZED FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE ORDER APPEARING IN THE ORIGINAL CHECK-OUT. This higher authorized amount will be disclosed during the purchase process and is a temporary authorization charge on your order, to deal with situations where your total purchase amount turns out to be higher than the original amount due to special requests, added items, replacement items, or weight adjustments.
Service Description. The Service is a communication platform that enables third party merchants (“Merchants”) to make available products, information, and services to consumers (“Merchant Products”), and for consumers to order and receive Merchant Products via delivery by Whip Drivers (“Delivery Providers”).
Responsibility for Merchant Products and Delivery. Shop’sMe is not a Merchant. Merchants are solely responsible for the Merchant Products. Accordingly, all matters regarding Merchant Products, including any warranty or guarantee, are solely between you and the Merchant from whom you ordered the Merchant Products. Shop’sMe makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding Merchant Products, and the fact that the Service enables communication with Merchants, services from Delivery Providers, or the purchase of Merchant Products should not be construed as an endorsement of the Delivery Provider, Merchant or Merchant Products. Shop’sMe does not assume, and expressly disclaims, responsibility for any Merchant Products, content, services, websites, advertisements, offers, or information that is provided by third parties or made available through the Service. If you purchase, use or access any Merchant Products, content, services, advertisements, offers, or information through the Service, you agree that you do so at your own risk and that Shop’sMe will have no liability based on such purchase, use or access. SHOP’SME DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, SAFETY, OR ABILITY OF MERCHANTS OR DELIVERY PROVIDERS. YOU AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY MERCHANTS OR DELIVERY PROVIDERS, OR ANY MERCHANT PRODUCTS REQUESTED BY YOU OR DELIVERED TO YOU, REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU. SHOP’SME IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FITNESS OR CONDUCT OF ANY MERCHANT OR DELIVERY PROVIDER OR FOR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY MERCHANTS OR DELIVERY PROVIDERS. SHOP’SME IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY, OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY MERCHANT OR DELIVERY PROVIDER. If you have a dispute with one or more Merchants or Delivery Providers, you agree to release Shop’sMe from claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected to such disputes with Merchants or Delivery Providers.
Delivery Feedback. If there are any issues with the Merchant Products or delivery services, including late delivery, or missing items, you must provide Shop’sMe with documentation, including photographs where applicable, within 48 hours of the actual delivery time.
You must be at least 18-years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (1) you are at least 18-years old; (2) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (3) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Authorization. You authorize Shop’sMe to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Shop’sMe, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, Shop’sMe may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
Delinquent Accounts. Shop’sMe may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid.

Shop’sMe DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MERCHANT PRODUCTS, SERVICES, MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND Shop’sMe DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Shop’sMe in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 17, you and Shop’sMe agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Shop’sMe ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 17, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Shop’sMe, Attention: Legal Department “ Arbitration Opt-Out, 4917 West Central Ave., Unit A, Zachary, LA, 70791 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Shop’sMe receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 18. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Shop’sMe will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Shop’sMe. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Shop’sMe’s address for Notice of Arbitration is: Shop’sMe, 4917 West Central Ave., Unit A, Zachary, LA, 70791. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Shop’sMe may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Shop’sMe must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Shop’sMe in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Shop’sMe will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Shop’sMe will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Zachary, Louisiana, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Shop’sMe for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND Shop’sMe AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Shop’sMe agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Shop’sMe makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Shop’sMe’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Shop’sMe’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Shop’sMe will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability. If any part of Section 17 or the entirety of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable, or if Shop’sMe receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Shop’sMe regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. You and Shop’sMe submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Zachary, Louisiana for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. We operate the Service from our offices in Louisiana, and we make no representation that Materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations.
