United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any transactions under this Agreement.
K. Dispute Resolution
If you have a dispute with us, then we encourage you to contact our customer service center, information for which
can be found at https://www.oliveandcocoa.com/customer-service. If our
customer service cannot resolve your dispute, or if we have a dispute with you that we cannot resolve with you, then
the following terms describe how the dispute will be resolved.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A
LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A
CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
You and Olive & Cocoa agree to arbitrate any claim, dispute, or controversy, including all statutory claims and any
state or federal claims, that may arise out of or relating to use of the Website or this Agreement, except that Olive
& Cocoa may seek injunctive, equitable or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court for situations where
you have violated or threatened to violate Olive & Cocoa's intellectual property rights (for example, trademark,
copyright or trade secret rights). You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located within Salt Lake County, Utah for court cases related to Olive & Cocoa's intellectual property
rights. By agreeing to arbitration, each party understands and agrees that it is waiving its rights to maintain other
available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes.
Arbitration is a less formal process and generally faster and less expensive than a lawsuit in court to resolve
disputes. A neutral arbitrator will hear the case instead of a judge or jury. Under this arbitration provision, the
case also has to be heard on its own and not as part of a class action. The arbitrator has the power to award damages
and other types of relief.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, including
payment and filing rules. The arbitrator's award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement will
be joined to any other case or party.
Disputes under this Agreement may be resolved only on an individual basis, meaning arbitration between you and Olive
& Cocoa. NEITHER YOU NOR OLIVE & COCOA MAY BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED,
OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH
OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
YOU AND OLIVE & COCOA EACH WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT
OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. INSTEAD, YOU AND OLIVE & COCOA ELECT TO HAVE ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION.
For any disputes that are heard in a court, YOU AND OLIVE & COCOA EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND ELECT
INSTEAD TO HAVE SUCH DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE.
Arbitration under this Agreement will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah. The arbitrator will apply Utah law.
WE ADVISE YOU TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. You may decline the
arbitration terms of this Section K by sending an email to [email protected] and including, your name,
your address and phone number, the URL to this Agreement, a clear statement that you do not accept the arbitration
terms provided in this Section K. You must send us this email within sixty (60) days of the date this Agreement is
effective or the date you start using the Website, if you start using the Website after this Agreement becomes
effective.
If any provision of this Section K is found unenforceable, that provision will be removed and all remaining
provisions of this Section K will be enforced.
L. Term and Termination
Without limiting its other remedies, Olive & Cocoa may suspend or terminate this Agreement, your access to the
Website and your account if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Olive & Cocoa may take

to the Website. Upon termination, those provisions of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature survive will
continue in full force and effect.

you agree to abide by and to comply with all Promotions rules.
P. Entire Agreement and Modifications
The terms of the Terms of Sale apply to the order, purchase, pricing, delivery, return
or exchange of Products. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Sale, Privacy
Policy and any additional Olive & Cocoa terms and conditions, is the entire agreement between Olive & Cocoa
and you, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals in any medium between you and Olive
& Cocoa, unless such agreement expressly provides that it shall not be superseded by the terms of this Agreement.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law so as to affect the
intent of the Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver by
either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach
or default.

obligation, to make changes to this Website and to these terms and conditions at any time. Any such modifications
