Effective Date: September 1, 2018

1           Our Invitation to You

1.1        Welcome. Welcome to Pledo (“us“, “we“, “ours“)! Our products and services are provided by some companies. We invite you to access our websites and our products and services and applications (including mobile applications, the “Applications“) (the web sites, products, services and applications collectively, the “System“), but please note that your invitation is subject to your review and agreement with these Terms of Service (collectively with all other operating rules, policies and procedures that we may publish on this website or in any of our applications, and our privacy policy, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, “Terms“). By accessing or using the System, or clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” or something similar, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1.2        Privacy Policy. Please also read carefully our Privacy Policy at Pledo.co/privacy-policy/. You agree that our Privacy Policy (as may be updated from time to time) governs our collection and use of your personal information.

1.3        Additional Terms. Certain portions of the System may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us from time to time elsewhere in the System; your use of such portions of the System is subject to those additional terms and conditions. The Products have individual warranties and in the case of software, terms of use. In the event of a conflict between the additional terms or other agreement and any provision in these Terms, the additional terms will prevail, but only with respect to the portion of the System to which the additional terms apply.

1.4       Waivers. THESE TERMS INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND A WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS, AND REQUIRE BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. THESE TERMS LIMIT THE REMEDIES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

2          The Products

2.1       The Products. We offer video hardware and software (collectively, “Products“). These Terms apply to any and all orders placed on the System for our Products.

2.2       Pricing. All prices are in United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes and fees and shipping costs are added to our prices. All payments are made in United States Dollars.

2.3       Shipping. You acknowledge and agree that you are providing a payment or deposit for a Product that is due to be shipped on or about the estimated shipping date. If in our sole discretion, we cannot timely ship or deliver the Product, we may elect to refund your payment method, or may determine to receive your consent to the later delivery. You have the affirmative obligation to keep us informed regarding your location and the place of delivery of the Product (or refund, as applicable). If your payment method changes, or is cancelled, we may still refund to the original payment method. However, if you have cancelled the card or method, you must notify us so that we can make alternative arrangements to refund to you.

 

If we have not heard from you within three (3) years from the date on which we were to refund your payment method (assuming we determined that we could not timely ship or deliver the Product and you have not provided your consent to the delayed delivery in such timeframe), and we cannot locate you, you agree that any amounts paid pursuant to these Terms shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the Missouri Unclaimed Property laws and we shall have no liability to you for any failure to refund your deposit to you.

 

We may provide a single shipping method and carrier, or multiple methods and carriers, for Product delivery, at our sole discretion. You will be responsible for all freight, packing, insurance and other shipping-related costs and expenses, and these will be noted on your order screen before you make your purchase. Once the Product is sent to the carrier, ownership of the Product and the risk of that Product’s loss passes to you.

 

You understand that all estimated shipment dates are estimates only. We’ll make reasonable efforts to meet the scheduled shipment dates, but in no event will we be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery, nor will the carrier be deemed our agent. If you have made an order for multiple Products, we may send you your Products in installments and charge you separately for each installment. We have the right to allocate our available inventory of the Products among other purchasers in such manner as we see fit. If we’re not able to charge your payment method or you fail to pay for your purchase, we have the right to delay or suspend shipment of the Products.

2.4       Return of the Product. We accept returns of hardware, in particular our cameras and associated hardware. We do not accept returns of software. All Products that are returned to us become our property. We’re not responsible for any memory card, content or information stored in any Product you return to us, whether under warranty or not. Please make sure to save any content or information you wish to keep from your Product’s memory card and erase any data thereon before returning your Product to us.

2.4.1    14-Day Worry-Free Guarantee. If you purchased your hardware Product directly from us via https://www.pledo.co, and you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return the Product to us for a full refund or exchange within the fourteen (14) days following the date on which the Product is delivered to you. If you request a refund under this section, your payment method will be credited upon our receipt and inspection of the returned Product. If you request an exchange, we’ll pay for shipping of the new Product sent to you. To return the hardware product, you must sign into your account on the System and follow the return instructions.

2.4.2   Returns under Warranty.  All other returns must be under warranty. In order to return a Product under warranty, you must obtain a Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”) number from us prior to returning any Products to us under warranty. You agree to pack the Product that you are returning carefully and return it to us together with the RMA at your cost. The returned Product must be in the original package and free of any defect or damage caused by shipping. If we determine to repair or replace your Product under warranty, we will pay the return costs for ground shipping. If we reasonably determine that the Product you returned is not defective, we will contact you and will arrange for reshipment to you           at your cost. If you decline to pre-pay such shipping and handling costs, we are under no obligation to return such non-defective Product to you.

2.4.3 Sending Your Product Back to Us. Whether through our 14-Day Worry-Free Guarantee or under warranty described herein, you can only make returns as follows:

        (1)     Before requesting an RMA, please contact us. We’re often able to solve the problem quickly via email.

        (2)     If we’re unable to solve your problem via email, request an RMA number from us.

 

       If we determine that you are within your 14-Day Worry-Free Guarantee or that your problem qualifies under warranty coverage, you will be issued an RMA number.

       (3)       Package Products along with a copy of the RMA form.

       (4)       Write the RMA number on the outside of the box and send it to the appropriate address.

       Returned Products must be received at our RMA facility within fourteen (14) days of issuing the RMA document.

2.5  Risk of Loss. Risk of loss of the Product passes to you on our delivery of the Product to the carrier, and you are responsible for any loss or damage to the Product from that point. Claims against a carrier for damage during shipping are your responsibility. 

2.6  Taxes. Except in the case of sales tax for residents of the State of Missouri, U.S.A., all import duties, taxes, and other charges are not included in the Product price or shipping cost. These charges are your responsibility. Please check with your state and country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to completing your order.

2.7  Export Control. You acknowledge that Products may be subject to export control laws and other laws and regulations of the United States and other countries, and that if we ship a Product to you, the Product may be impounded or otherwise confiscated by customs or other authorities. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable export control laws and regulations. You represent that you will not export, re-export, or transfer indirectly or directly any Product outside of the United States without obtaining proper authorization from the applicable government agencies. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, you will not export, re-export, or transfer directly or indirectly any Product to:

      (i)        an embargoed/terrorist supporting country as determined by the US government;

     (ii)        a person or entity barred by the US Government on export activity lists, including persons or entities on the Treasury Department Specially Designated National List, Entities List, and Denied Persons List; or

     (iii)       any destination for an end use that is prohibited by applicable law. You will defend and hold us harmless against all claims, damages, or liability resulting from breach of the foregoing.

2.8       Use of the Product. You represent that the Product you have ordered is for your own use and not for resale.

2.9       Product Descriptions. We attempt to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of the System are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by us is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

2.10     Pricing. We cannot confirm the price of any Product until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items listed for sale in the System may be mispriced. If the correct price of an item sold by us is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. We generally do not charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process or, for digital products, until we make the digital product available to you. Note that our Pre-Order Terms and Conditions have different terms: pledo.co/buy.

11.6 Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read this Section (“Arbitration Agreement“) carefully. It is part of your contract with us and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Contact Us First. If a dispute arises between you and us, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that you will notify us about any dispute you have with us regarding the System by emailing: info@pledo.co

 

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with these Terms or the use of any product or service provided by us that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and us, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

 Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected as provided above, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and us in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, you and we waive all rights to a jury trial, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

Confidentiality.No part of the procedures shall be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order or unless required by law. This Paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Capre Girardeau, MO for such purpose.

 

11.7     Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the internal laws of the State of MO, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

11.8     Injunctions. YOU AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR INJURIES THAT ARISE OUT OF OUR ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, CAUSED TO YOU ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION PREVENTING ANY EXPLOITATION OF THE SYSTEM OR PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, ADVERTISING, EXHIBITION OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM OR PRODUCTS.

11.9 Time to Bring a Claim. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary or the applicable dispute resolution process, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or related to use of the System or otherwise under these must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or you hereby agree to be forever barred from bringing such claim.

13         Miscellaneous.

13.1 Entire Agreement and Severability. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the System and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the System.

The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights. Electronic notices should be sent to info@pledo.co

13.6     No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
