Despite our best efforts, pricing or specification errors may occur. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders for products or services listed with incorrect pricing or specifications. If your payment method has been charged before cancellation, we will issue a credit for the charged amount. If an error is obvious and unmistakable, we may cancel the sale, refund sums paid, and require the return of provided goods. If a product purchased is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it unused, complete, and undamaged, in the original packaging, in accordance with our Return Policy.

- Dispute Resolution
If you, as a consumer or user of Thammerton products or the Service, and not in connection with any efforts to sell or resell Thammerton products, reside in the U.S., certain portions of this Section 12 are deemed a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Thammerton agree that this Section 12 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
12.1 Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification
(a) Attempt to Resolve Disputes Informally
In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to the Service, the content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of Thammerton’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute,” as defined below in Section 12.5), you and Thammerton agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. Each party shall send a written notice to the other party, describing the nature and details of the Dispute, and proposing a resolution. Notices to you will be sent to your last known contact information provided to Thammerton, and notices to Thammerton must be sent via email to info@thammerton.com.
(b) Period for Informal Resolution
For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the notice, you and Thammerton will engage in good faith negotiations to attempt to resolve the Dispute. However, nothing in this Section shall obligate either party to resolve the Dispute on terms they find unsatisfactory in their sole discretion.
12.2 Binding Arbitration Agreement
(a) Agreement to Arbitrate
If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) days from the receipt of the notice, either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve all Disputes (excluding Excluded Disputes). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broad and includes any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any product or service provided by Thammerton. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
(b) Arbitration Procedures
Any Dispute will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If AAA is unavailable, the arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or another arbitration service agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration will be conducted in New Castle County, Delaware, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(c) Costs of Arbitration
Each party shall bear its own costs and fees associated with the arbitration, but Thammerton will pay any arbitration costs or fees required to enforce this provision. The arbitrator will apply the applicable law and facts, and will issue a reasoned award.
(d) Arbitrator’s Authority
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute and to determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including any challenge to its enforceability or validity. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.
12.3 Time Limitation on Claims
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE (EXCLUDING EXCLUDED DISPUTES) MUST BE INITIATED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES, OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencement of proceedings means providing written notice as specified in Section 12.1 or initiating arbitration as specified in Section 12.2.
12.4 Injunctive Relief and Equitable Remedies
Thammerton reserves the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or other proprietary interests in any court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the arbitration agreement. The arbitration provisions herein do not preclude Thammerton from seeking such remedies.
12.5 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND THAMMERTON AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Disputes will be arbitrated on an individual basis only. If any court determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will not apply, and the Dispute must be brought in court.
12.6 Jurisdiction and Venue
Except where arbitration is required, any litigation arising out of or relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute must be filed in the state or federal courts in New Castle County, Delaware. Both you and Thammerton consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
12.7 Small Claims Court
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.
