BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” or “OK,” REGISTERING FOR AN ACCOUNT, ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE AXEPAXE PRIVACY POLICY, ANY APPLICABLE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OR FUTURE MODIFICATIONS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “TERMS”).

If you are not eligible, or do not agree to all of the Terms, then please do not use the Site.

ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 21, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND AXEPAXE 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 21.)

  1. Eligibility.  By agreeing to the Terms, you represent and warrant to us that your registration and your use of the Site is in compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. If you are using the Site on behalf of an entity, organization, or company (each, a “Represented Organization”), you are an authorized representative of that Represented Organization with the authority to bind such organization to these Terms and agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of such Represented Organization. In such a case, “you” in these Terms refers to your Represented Organization, and any individual authorized to use the Site on behalf of the Represented Organization, including you.
  2. Privacy Policy; Additional Terms
    1. Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy for information relating to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.  Our Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

Material modifications are effective upon your acceptance of the modified Terms.

As the inventor of the world’s first and only specially designed guitar accessories case, AxePaxe owns and / or licenses intellectual property related to many key aspects of its products. We love innovation and innovators in all fields, but we do not love it when people steal or infringe upon our intellectual property rights by making infringing cases and products. We are committed to enforcing our intellectual property rights.  Before attempting to make a guitar accessories case or similar product, please consult with a registered patent attorney to learn about the dangers of intellectual property infringement. We would rather celebrate your success in another field than summon you to court to answer for intellectual property infringement.

Our products are covered by a number of U.S. patents or pending patents.  Our patents are also registered in a number of foreign countries.  We do not list our patents here to make it just a little bit harder for potential thieves.  The registered trademark AxePaxe is owned or licensed by AxePaxe.  Our packaging and instructions are also protected by trade dress and copyright laws. Please do not copy any aspect of our packaging or instructions.

  1. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Site, and you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AxePaxe and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (collectively, the “AxePaxe Entities”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, consulting, and accounting fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to, use of or alleged use of the Site; (ii) your violation of the Terms or any representation, warranty, or agreements referenced herein, or any applicable law or regulation; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; or (iv) any disputes or issues between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.
  1. Disclaimers; No Warranties.

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. AXEPAXE SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIMS (i) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (ii) ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE-OF-DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE; (iii) ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE INFORMATION OR RESULTS PROVIDED IN, OR THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF, THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, OR UP-TO-DATE; AND (iv) ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER REGARDING ANY PRODUCTS, SITES, INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL ADVERTISED, MADE AVAILABLE, OR REFERRED TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ALL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM, MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SITE. ANY CONTENT, MATERIALS, INFORMATION OR SOFTWARE DOWNLOADED, USED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SITE IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 19, AxePaxe represents and warrants that the components of its AxePaxe product shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, subject to normal use and maintenance, for one (1) year to the original owner from the date of purchase.  We may require proof of purchase.  Neither AxePaxe, the retailer, nor the manufacturer shall be liable for damages based upon inconvenience, loss of use of product, loss of time, interrupted operation or commercial loss, or any other incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits, downtime, goodwill, damage to or replacement of equipment and property, or damage to reputation.  This guarantee gives you specific legal rights.  You may have other legal rights which vary among jurisdictions.  Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so that limitation may not apply to you.

THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. AXEPAXE DOES NOT DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT THAT AXEPAXE IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCLAIMING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

  1. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER AXEPAXE NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OPERATING OR DELIVERING THE SITE WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT AXEPAXE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE WHERE SUCH DAMAGES RESULT FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AXEPAXE IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM THE FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. FURTHER, AXEPAXE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT UPLOADED ONTO OR DOWNLOADED FROM THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SITE.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 21.5 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF AXEPAXE TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SITE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO AXEPAXE FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM OR (ii) $100. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN AXEPAXE AND YOU.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

  1. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
    1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and AxePaxe in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and AxePaxe agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms of the Site shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal 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. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes but is not limited to 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 the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and AxePaxe are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
    2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 21.1, we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and AxePaxe will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting AxePaxe at support@axepaxe.com.
    4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, we may send notice to you by electronic mail (“Notice”). AxePaxe’s address for Notice is: Axe Paxe, LLC, Attn.:  Legal Department, 2870 Peachtree Road #909, Atlanta, GA 30305. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We both agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 120 days after the Notice is received, you or AxePaxe may commence an arbitration proceeding.
    5. Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Atlanta, Georgia, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. 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 such case, you agree to reimburse AxePaxe 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 shall 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.
    6. No class actions. YOU AND AXEPAXE 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 AxePaxe 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.
    7. Modifications. In the event that AxePaxe makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the AxePaxe’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to AxePaxe’s address for Notice, in which case your account with AxePaxe shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
    8. Enforceability If only subsection 21.6 is found to be unenforceable or the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
  2. Governing Law; Venue. These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Georgia by Georgia residents, and without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and AxePaxe agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Atlanta, Georgia, for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. The Site is intended for visitors located within the United States. We make no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use outside of the United States. Access to the Site from countries or territories or by individuals where such access is illegal is prohibited.
  3. General. The Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and AxePaxe regarding your use of and access to the Site, and except as expressly permitted above may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties. You may not assign or transfer the Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign the Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of paragraph headers in the Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
  4. Contact Information. If you have any questions regarding AxePaxe, the Site, or the Terms please send an email to support@axepaxe.com.
  5. Notice to California Residents. If you are a California resident, under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Sites of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite S-202, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 in order to resolve a complaint regarding the Site or to receive further information regarding use of the Site.
