ARCTIVA Terms of Use
Last Updated: 01/30/2023
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of www.arctivaskin.com (the “Site”), which is operated by Arctiva Wellness (“Arctiva”).
In some instances, both these Terms and separate terms setting forth additional conditions may apply to a service or product offered via the Site (“Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.
By visiting or otherwise using the Site, you acknowledge and accept these Terms, including the binding arbitration terms in Section 5, and any applicable Additional Terms.
These Terms of Use set forth a legally binding agreement between you and Arctiva and govern your use of the Site; these Terms limit Arctiva’s liability to you and require you to indemnify us and to settle certain disputes through individual arbitration. Please note that these Terms do not affect your mandatory statutory rights under applicable laws, to the extent that such rights apply to you and cannot be limited or excluded. If you do not agree to these Terms and any Additional Terms, do not use the Site.
These Terms are subject to change without notice, in our sole discretion. Changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after the “Last Updated” date constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.
1. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF THE SITE AND MATERIALS
Intellectual Property.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Materials available via the Site are the property of Arctiva or our licensors or certain other parties, and are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, and/or other intellectual property rights and laws to the fullest extent possible.

Any use of all or any part of our Service or the contents on it for commercial purposes shall be subject to separate terms and conditions and may be subject to a fee. The foregoing limited license does not give you any ownership of, or any other intellectual property interest in, any Materials. Your unauthorized use of the Materials may violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, communications, or other laws, and any such use may result in your personal liability, including potential criminal liability.

Arctiva in its sole discretion and without advance notice or liability, may immediately suspend or terminate the availability of the Site and/or Materials, in whole or in part, for any reason. We do not warrant that content on the Site is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free.

Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Arctiva and its licensors and other parties. No right or license may be construed, under any legal theory, by implication, estoppel, industry custom, or otherwise. Any unauthorized use of the Site and Materials for any purpose is prohibited.
2. OTHER ONLINE SERVICES

For instance, portions of the Site may be integrated into or linked to other websites, platforms, or apps that we do not control. Similarly, we may make ads and non-Arctiva content or services available to you on or via the Site. Please note that Other Online Services have their own privacy policies and terms of use and Arctiva is not responsible for these policies or terms.
3. BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
We reserve the right to sell or transfer any information we obtain through the Site in connection with any joint venture, partnership, merger, or other collaboration with another organization, or in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (e.g., further to a reorganization, liquidation, or any other business transaction, including negotiations of such transactions).

5. Arbitration AND DISPUTE TERMS
THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR MANDATORY ARBITRATION OR CLASS ACTION WAIVERS. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE PROVISIONS BELOW MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
If any dispute arises between you and Arctiva, you and Arctiva agree, as permitted by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with your use of the Site (including, but not limited to these Terms), including any question regarding the Terms’ existence, validity or termination, through binding arbitration unless we and you expressly agree, in writing, not to arbitrate. The dispute, to the extent permissible by applicable law, shall be referred to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Pinellas, Florida before a single arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrability of this agreement is governed by the laws of State of Florida as well as the United States Federal Arbitration Act.
If for any reason any claim proceeds to court rather than arbitration, you and Arctiva agree, to the extent permissible by applicable law, to waive any right to a jury trial and you agree to waive any right to bring a class action lawsuit.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5 is intended to limit your mandatory rights under applicable law.
6. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, Arctiva and its direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their respective employees, directors, members, managers, shareholders, agents, vendors, licensors, licensees, contractors, customers, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Arctiva Parties”) hereby disclaim and make no representations, warranties, endorsements, or promises, express or implied, in connection with, or otherwise directly or indirectly related to, without limitation, the Site, Materials, or other Arctiva products or services, except as set forth herein.
EXCEPT FOR ANY SPECIFIC WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREIN, OR IN APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS, OR AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ARCTIVA PARTIES HEREBY FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHER PARTIES, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS.
7. Limitations of Our Liability
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY OF THE ARCTIVA PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including personal injury or death or for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential losses or damages of any kind (including availability of the Site and its contents, such as content removed from the Site by Arctiva for any reason), including without limitation loss of profits, in connection with, or otherwise directly or indirectly related to, without limitation, the Site, Materials, or other Arctiva products or services, except, to the extent not waivable or under applicable law.
The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if the Arctiva parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Site).
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE ARCTIVA PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID ARCTIVA IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S).
