WELCOME TO THE PRITIQUE WEBSITE (THE "SITE")
Welcome to the Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) for Pritique (“P,” “we,” “us” or “our”). P provides the content and services available on the Site to you subject to the following Terms.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MAY NOT USE ANY PART OF THE SITE.
Note that Section 13 of these Terms contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.
P reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. We will provide notice of such changes, such as by posting a notice on the Site or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. If at any time you find these Terms unacceptable, you must immediately leave the Site and cease all use of the Site. By continuing to access or use the Site or order, receive or use our products, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference.
- Privacy Policy
Your use of the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference and applies to our collection, use, disclosure and other processing of your personal information.
- Children
P understands that children need special safeguards and privacy protection. P realizes that children may not understand all the provisions of these Terms or our Privacy Policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to the adult users. Therefore, P strongly urges all parents to participate in their children's exploration of this Site.
Furthermore, although the Site is not designed for use by children under the age of 13, P does not solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. P will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event a parent or guardian believes that their child (under 13) has submitted or posted personally identifiable information and the parent or guardian wishes to have it deleted, please contact the Site's host. Furthermore, P may, at its sole discretion, require users under 18 to obtain the consent of a parent or guardian to view certain content, and may limit access to certain content to users above a specified age. You agree to abide by any such restrictions, and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.
- Terms of Sale
- Payment and Billing Information
By submitting your payment information to us, you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your credit card or other available payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, an “Order”) in accordance with this policy. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount. You represent that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment unless you have all necessary authorization to do so. We will not be liable in the event others acting with or without your permission use your credit card or other payment method to make Orders on the Site; however you may report any unauthorized use to us, and we will use reasonable measures within our control to help prevent future unauthorized use of your credit card or other payment method.
If your payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your Order.
- Pricing
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.
- Changes to your Order and Modifications to the Site
All of our products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain products and to substitute products without prior notice. Given market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us at hello@pritiqueshop.com.
In addition, occasionally there may be information on our Site that contains errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, and product shipping charges and schedules. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel Orders if any information in the Site is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your Order).
We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the Site, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law, and we reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any features or parts thereof). No specified update or refresh date applied in the Site should be taken to indicate that all information in the Site has been modified or updated.
- Taxes
We will collect applicable sales tax on products shipped to the states for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted to comply with applicable tax laws.
- Shipping & Returns
We offer many products which may be shipped to you either directly from us or via a third-party fulfillment service provider. You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Shipping is handled by a third-party fulfillment service provider. When you purchase a product from us, any shipping times shown on the Site are estimates only. Actual delivery dates may vary. All products purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that title to and the risk of loss of such products passes to you upon our delivery of the products to the third-party fulfillment service provider.
Please check all shipping addresses carefully, as we will not offer refunds for any returned products. Should you have additional questions relating to order processing and handling, returns and/or exchanges, please contact hello@pritiqueshop.com.

- Governing Law, Venue and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH P AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
All matters relating to the Site, our products and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California in the United States without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and P agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, OUR PRODUCTS OR THESE TERMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND P AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND P ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages).
If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claims court action, you must first send to P, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (a “Notice”). The Notice must be addressed to: Pritique, 928 Clayton Street, New Castle, DE 19720 (the “Notice Address”). A Notice, whether sent by you or P, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the dispute, claim or controversy; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought including a detailed explanation of how the amount of any monetary relief was calculated (the “Demand”). If P and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or P may commence an arbitration proceeding or, if applicable, file a claim in small claims court.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision shall govern. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator must strictly construe and apply these Terms as written and must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
YOU AND P 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 P agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void (for removal of doubt, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void only if this specific provision regarding the requirement that claims be brought only in your or P’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, is deemed unenforceable. If any other clause or provision of this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable, then pursuant to Section 15 below, that specific clause or provision shall be struck, and the remainder of this arbitration provision shall be enforced). The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
- Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Site and to order, receive and use our products, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
- Severability
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.
- Survival
The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your P account: all defined terms and Sections 1, 3, 4 (first paragraph only), 5 through 17.
- Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and P relating to your access to and use of the Site and your order, receipt and use of P’s products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of P. P may assign its rights and privileges under these Terms (including any information provided by you to us), without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or to an affiliate, or in connection with a change in control. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Pritique’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
