Governing Law
All matters relating to this Site and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Missouri without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule of Missouri or any other jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the agreement to arbitrate set forth below.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. It affects your rights. This paragraph requires the use of binding arbitration to resolve disputes.
Company and you agree to arbitrate any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of Company’s services, including its Site, the Service, and any marketing of Company’s products and/or services that you have received from Company.
THIS PARAGRAPH MEMORIALIZES A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, and expressly includes claims brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory.
You and Company hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (“FAA”) applies to this agreement to arbitrate, and governs all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the arbitration (the “AAA’s Rules”). The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, scope, or enforceability of these arbitration provisions and these Terms of Service. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator or arbitrators must honor the terms and limitations in this Agreement, and can award damages and relief (including any attorneys’ fees) authorized by law and/or the AAA’s Rules. The arbitration decision and award are final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON BEHALF OF, OR AS PART OF, A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA WOULD. RATHER, YOU AND WE ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, BILATERAL BASIS. FURTHER, AND UNLESS YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.
You and Company are each responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration. Company, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other AAA case management fees, for any claim seeking $75,000 or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Otherwise, the AAA’s Rules regarding costs and payment apply.
This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
If any term of this Section (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term. If application of this Severability provision should materially and adversely affect the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Party adversely impacted shall be entitled to compensation for such adverse impact, provided the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability of a term is not due to serious misconduct by the Party seeking such compensation.
If the provisions of this paragraph requiring arbitration of any dispute or claim are deemed unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, then instead of arbitration you and the Company shall litigate their dispute exclusively in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri or the Circuit Court for St. Louis County, Missouri (and their respective appellate courts), and you and the Company consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any defense that the forum is inconvenient, the venue is improper, or such courts lack personal jurisdiction.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Site is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a "Counter-Notice") by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated below. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:

- An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.
- Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
- A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.
The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers

These Terms and Conditions (which include the items incorporated by reference) contain all of the representations, warranties, terms and agreements (whether written or oral) governing the subject matter covered by them, and supersede all prior understandings, statements, or agreements about that subject (none of which are binding or may be relied on). These Terms and Conditions prevail over any terms or conditions in any of your documentation including your purchase order, general terms and conditions or any other document you issue in connection with any purchase of merchandise, regardless of whether or when submitted. Our fulfillment of your order does not constitute our acceptance of your terms and conditions (all of which are hereby rejected) and does not modify or amend these Terms and Conditions. We have not authorized any person to make any representations, statements or promises in addition to or in any way different than those in these Terms and Conditions concerning the subjects covered in them.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable to any extent in any context, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term.
Any waiver of our rights must be in writing and manually signed by us, and no waiver affects any matter not expressly identified by such written waiver. Our failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from these Terms will not operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
A printed version of these Terms and of any notices given to you in electronic form shall be admissible in legal proceedings based to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
None of the rights or remedies conferred by these Terms and Conditions are exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred herein or by law or in equity; rather, all of such rights and remedies are cumulative of every other such right or remedy and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time.

In these Terms: the word “person” means natural persons and all forms of legal entities; the word “including” (or its variants) will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation;” and the word “law” means and includes all statutes, regulations, ordinances, orders, rulings, or other federal, state, local or international legal requirement.

The Program is a customer loyalty and recognition program operated by SSW in the United States.
Participation in the Program is free. There is no fee to join, no membership charge, and no purchase is required to become a Participant beyond maintaining an active Account with SSW.
By enrolling in or otherwise participating in the Program, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read, understood, and unconditionally accepts to be bound by these Terms. SSW reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with Section 13. Any updates to these Terms will be effective immediately upon posting at www.storesupply.com, and the Participant’s continued participation in the Program constitutes the Participant’s acceptance of such modifications to these Terms.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between SSW and each Participant in the Program. If the Participant does not agree to all of these Terms now or at any point in the future, or if the Participant becomes ineligible for the Program, please contact SSW at contactsmartrewards@storesupply.com to un-enroll in the Program.
3. Eligibility
The Program is open only to SSW customers who:
- maintain an active Account with SSW in good standing;

Customers must meet all of the above eligibility requirements to be a Participant and to participate in the Program.
Each Account is limited to one membership for the Program. A Participant may have only one Program membership, which may be associated with only one Account. Should SSW determine, in its sole discretion, that a Participant has created or is associated with multiple Program memberships or Accounts, SSW may consolidate, deactivate, close, and/or terminate such memberships and Accounts without notice to the Participant. Accounts under common ownership may be combined or treated separately in the sole discretion of SSW.

4. Enrollment and Withdrawal
Automatic Enrollment
SSW may automatically enroll existing eligible customers into the Program based on their purchase history with SSW. A customer does not need to apply separately. If a customer has an active Account meeting the eligibility requirements, such customer may already be enrolled in the Program. SSW will notify a Participant of their enrollment at the email address associated with the Participant’s Account.
Withdrawal
A Participant may withdraw from the Program at any time by contacting SSW at contactsmartrewards@storesupply.com. Upon withdrawal, all unredeemed Points and unexpired Store Certificates associated with such Participant’s Account shall be immediately forfeited and cannot be reinstated, refunded, or exchanged for cash or any other consideration as part of the Program.
Re-Enrollment
If a Participant withdraws from the Program and later wishes to re-enroll, such customer may contact SSW to request re-enrollment. Re-enrollment is subject to SSW’s approval in its sole discretion. Points and Store Certificates forfeited at the time of withdrawal shall not be restored upon re-enrollment in the Program.
5. Tiers
The Program has three Tiers: Essential, Select, and Signature. Each Tier offers different earning rates and benefits as described below.
Tier Assignment
SSW assigns the Participant’s Tier based on the Participant’s purchase history over a trailing 12 Month period. Tier assignment is determined by SSW in its sole discretion based on the criteria set forth below.
Tier Requirements
- Essential: Available after first order. Points are earned after the Participant makes Qualifying Purchases representing at least $500.00 in Qualifying Purchase Value.
- Select: Requires eight (8) to fifteen (15) Qualifying Purchases per year OR Qualifying Purchases that represent $2,000.00 to $4,999.00 in Qualifying Purchase Value.
- Signature: Requires sixteen (16) or more orders per year OR Qualifying Purchases that represent $5,000.00 or more in Qualifying Purchase Value.
Tier Reviews
SSW reviews Tier assignments on a rolling twelve (12) month basis. The Participant’s Tier may be adjusted up or down based on the Participant’s purchase activity during the applicable review period. Any such adjustment shall be effective as of the date determined by SSW and shall remain in effect until the next review for a Tier.
Notice of Tier Changes
If the Participant’s Tier changes, SSW will notify the Participant at the email address associated with the Participant’s Account. Failure to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of the change in Tier.
SSW reserves the right to modify Tier names, criteria, benefits, and earning rates at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, as described in Section 13.
6. Earning Points
Qualifying Purchases
Points are earned on the Qualifying Purchase Amounts of Qualifying Purchases from SSW.
Earning Rates by Tier
Points are earned at the following rates based on the Participant’s Tier:
- Essential Tier: One percent (1%) of Qualifying Purchase Amounts;
- Select Tier: Two percent (2%) of Qualifying Purchase Amounts; and
- Signature Tier: Three percent (3%) of Qualifying Purchase Amounts.
Exclusions
The following are excluded from Points calculation and do not constitute amounts included in Qualifying Purchase Amounts:
- Shipping Charges (including shipping, freight, handling, and delivery charges);
- sales tax, use tax, and other taxes, fees, or governmental charges;
- gift cards, Store Certificates, and other stored value instruments;
- returned, cancelled, or refunded Products;
- orders that are unpaid, past due, or in dispute for Products;
- purchases made through an Account that is suspended, deactivated, or closed; and/or
- any other items or charges that SSW designates as excluded from time to time in the sole discretion of SSW.
Points Posting
Points are calculated and posted to the Participant’s Account on a rolling basis, typically within fifteen (15) days after a Qualifying Purchase. This posting period allows for returns, adjustments, and order corrections to be reflected before Points are credited. SSW’s records shall be the final determination of Points earned for the Program.
Returns After Points Are Posted
If merchandise from a Qualifying Purchase that earned Points is subsequently returned, price adjusted, or refunded, the value of the earned Points will be reduced or deducted to reflect the unearned value. If the Participant’s Points balance is insufficient to cover the deduction, SSW may deduct from future Points earnings or take other remedial action.
Order Channels
Points are earned on Qualifying Purchases regardless of the order channel, including online at www.storesupply.com, by telephone, through a sales representative, or through any other ordering method made available by SSW, provided the order is associated with the Participant’s Account.
7. Store Certificates and Redemption
Issuance
Accumulated Points may be redeemed for Store Certificates. The minimum Points balance required for redemption is five hundred (500) Points. Store Certificates shall be issued in increments determined by SSW. Upon redemption, the corresponding Points shall be deducted from the Participant’s balance of Points.
Permitted Uses
Store Certificates may be applied only toward the purchase of certain designated Products from SSW.
Restrictions on Use
Store Certificates may not be applied to:
- Shipping Charges;
- sales tax, use tax, and other taxes, fees, or governmental charges;
- gift cards, other Store Certificates, or stored value instruments;
- price adjustments on prior purchases; or
- any other items, services, or charges that SSW designates as excluded from time to time in the sole discretion of SSW.
Combining with Other Offers
Only one (1) Store Certificate may be used per order of Product(s). Store Certificates may be combined with other promotions, discounts, or negotiated pricing at SSW’s sole discretion. Where combination is permitted, SSW shall determine the order in which discounts and Store Certificates are applied.
Partial Redemption
If a Store Certificate is used on a purchase totaling less than the face value of the Store Certificate, any unused value shall be forfeited and shall not be retained, refunded, or reissued as a new Store Certificate.
Expiration
Store Certificates expire 12 Months from the date of issuance. Expired Store Certificates cannot be extended, reissued, reinstated, or exchanged. The expiration date is printed on each Store Certificate and shown in the Participant’s Account. It is the Participant’s sole responsibility to use Store Certificates before the expiration date.
8. Nature of Points and Store Certificates; No Cash Value
POINTS AND STORE CERTIFICATES ISSUED UNDER THIS PROGRAM HAVE NO CASH VALUE AND ARE NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH. Points and Store Certificates are promotional benefits provided by SSW at no cost to the Participant. They are not stored value, not gift cards, not prepaid cards, and not financial instruments.
Specifically, Points and Store Certificates:
- have no cash value whatsoever and may only be redeemed for Products at SSW in accordance with these Terms;
- are not redeemable for cash, check, credit, refund, or any form of monetary payment;
- are non-transferable, non-assignable, and non-saleable, and may not be sold, purchased, bartered, auctioned, gifted, or transferred to any other person, entity, or Account;
- are not property of the Participant and confer no ownership interest, vested rights, or entitlement;
- may be used only by the Account to which they were issued;
- have no value except when applied to a purchase of Products in accordance with these Terms;
- are not earned, held, or accrued as a debt, obligation, or liability of SSW; and
- may be forfeited, voided, cancelled, or expired without compensation as set forth in these Terms.
Points and Store Certificates are issued solely as promotional discounts on future purchases of Products. They are not consideration paid by the Participant and are not purchased by the Participant. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that Points and Store Certificates have no monetary or exchange value and that SSW may modify, limit, or cancel them at any time in the sole discretion of SSW.
Any Points or Store Certificates obtained, transferred, sold, or used in violation of these Terms are void and may be cancelled without notice. SSW reserves the right to pursue any remedies available at law or equity for violations of these Terms.
The Participant acknowledges that the Program is a promotional, rewards, and loyalty program operated by SSW and that Store Certificates issued under the Program are promotional certificates provided through the Program without any separate payment, purchase price, or monetary consideration from the Participant. Store Certificates are not sold to Participants, are not purchased by Participants, and are not issued or reloaded in exchange for money or other value paid by the Participant. Points are earned through purchase activity and represent promotional credits issued at no charge to a Participant. Store Certificates are issued upon redemption of Points as a promotional benefit, not a purchased instrument, under the Program.
To the extent any state, territory, or local jurisdiction regulates the expiration, forfeiture, or escheatment of gift certificates, gift cards, stored value instruments, or similar items, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that:
- the expiration and forfeiture provisions set forth in these Terms shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and where any state law restriction would otherwise limit expiration or forfeiture, the Participant agrees that SSW may rely on the promotional, loyalty, and awards program exemptions in such states to enforce such provisions; and
- if any provision of these Terms regarding the expiration, forfeiture, or non-redemption of Store Certificates or Points is held unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect, and such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable consistent with these Terms.
9. Suspension, Termination, and Forfeiture
SSW may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend, deactivate, or terminate the Participant’s participation in the Program and void, cancel, or invalidate any or all unredeemed Points and unexpired Store Certificates if SSW determines that the Participant has:
- provided false, misleading, or inaccurate information in connection with the Participant’s Account or the Program;
- obtained Points or Store Certificates through fraud, error, misrepresentation, or manipulation;
- structured purchases primarily to generate Points or Store Certificates rather than for genuine business needs of the Participant;
- transferred, sold, assigned, or attempted to transfer, sell, or assign Points or Store Certificates;
- resold Products purchased from SSW in violation of the Participant’s Account terms or any agreement with SSW;
- failed to pay amounts owed to SSW when due;
- violated these Terms, the Participant’s Account agreement, or any other agreement with SSW; or
- engaged in any conduct that SSW determines, in its sole discretion, to be abusive, harmful to the Program, or contrary to the spirit or intent of these Terms.
SSW reserves the right to reverse, deduct, or void Points issued in error at any time without notice. In the event of any termination, suspension, or deactivation, SSW reserves the right to invalidate improperly awarded or issued Points and Store Certificates and to close the Participant’s Account without notice or compensation to Participant.
10. Account Changes
Multiple Locations
If the Participant’s business operates multiple locations under a single Account, Qualifying Purchases across those locations are combined for Tier assignment and the earning of Points. Separate Accounts are treated separately unless SSW agrees in writing to combine such Accounts.
Change of Ownership
Points and Store Certificates are tied to the Account, not to any individual. If the Participant’s business is sold, merged, acquired, or otherwise undergoes a change of ownership or control, SSW may, in its sole discretion, transfer, suspend, or void the Account’s Program status and unredeemed Points and Store Certificate balance. The Participant must notify SSW before any change of ownership affecting the Participant’s Account. Failure to provide such notice may result in forfeiture of benefits from the Program.
Account Closure
If the Participant’s Account is closed, deactivated, or terminated for any reason, all unredeemed Points and unexpired Store Certificates associated with that Account are immediately forfeited and cannot be reinstated, refunded, or transferred.
Inactivity
If the Participant’s Account has no Qualifying Purchase for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, SSW may, in its sole discretion, reduce the Participant’s Tier, suspend the Participant’s Program participation, void unredeemed Points and Store Certificates, or close or deactivate the Participant’s Account. SSW may consider an Account inactive if no purchases have been made at SSW within the preceding twelve (12) consecutive months.
11. Communications
By participating in the Program, the Participant agrees to receive transactional communications from SSW regarding the Participant’s Account, Tier status, Points balance, Store Certificates, and other Program-related information. These communications are part of the Participant’s Program participation and are not marketing messages.
The Participant may opt out of promotional or marketing communications from SSW at any time without withdrawing from the Program. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect Points earning or Tier status, but may mean the Participant does not receive notice of promotions, bonus offers, special events, or expiration reminders. SSW is not responsible for any loss of benefits resulting from the Participant’s election to opt out of communications.
The Participant’s information is collected, used, and disclosed in accordance with the SSW Privacy Policy, available at https://www.storesupply.com/privacy-policy.aspx. By participating in the Program, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s information will be handled as set forth in the Privacy Policy.
12. Taxes
Any tax liability arising from participation in the Program, including without limitation any taxes associated with the receipt, accrual, or redemption of Points or Store Certificates, is the Participant’s sole responsibility. SSW does not provide tax advice and makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of Program benefits. The Participant is encouraged to consult the Participant’s tax advisor regarding the treatment of Program benefits under applicable tax laws.
13. Program Modifications and Termination
The Program, its benefits, and the interpretation and application of these Terms are offered at the sole discretion of SSW. SSW reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Program, any Tier, any earning rate, any redemption term, any Store Certificate value, or any provision of these Terms at any time, with or without notice, and without compensation to the Participant.
For material changes that reduce the value of previously earned Points or unexpired Store Certificates, SSW will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 3 months notice by email to the address associated with the Participant’s Account or by posting updated Terms at www.storesupply.com. SSW’s failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of the modification.
If SSW terminates the Program entirely, unredeemed Points and unexpired Store Certificates will remain redeemable for a period of 12 Months following the termination notice, after which all unredeemed Points and unexpired Store Certificates shall be void and have no value. The Program has no predetermined termination date and may continue until such time as SSW elects, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Program.
Any updates to these Terms will be effective immediately upon posting at www.storesupply.com. The Participant’s continued participation in the Program after a change takes effect constitutes the Participant’s acceptance of the revised Terms. If the Participant does not agree to any modified Terms, the Participant’s sole remedy is to withdraw from the Program.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING ALL POINTS, STORE CERTIFICATES, AND PROGRAM BENEFITS, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SSW DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SSW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SSW, ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM, THESE TERMS, OR THE PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SSW HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
SSW IS NOT LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY LOST, STOLEN, FORFEITED, EXPIRED, OR UNREDEEMED POINTS OR STORE CERTIFICATES; (B) ANY SYSTEM ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR INTERRUPTIONS AFFECTING THE PROGRAM; (C) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF THE PARTICIPANT’S ACCOUNT OR PROGRAM INFORMATION; (D) ANY FAILURE OR DELAY IN POSTING POINTS OR ISSUING STORE CERTIFICATES; OR (E) ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES. SSW’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE PARTICIPANT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FACE VALUE OF THE PARTICIPANT’S UNREDEEMED, UNEXPIRED STORE CERTIFICATES AT THE TIME THE CLAIM ARISES, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO THE PARTICIPANT. IN SUCH CASES, SSW’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
16. Indemnification
The Participant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SSW, its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or relating to: (a) the Participant’s participation in the Program; (b) the Participant’s breach of these Terms or any representation or warranty contained in these Terms; (c) the Participant’s violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation in connection with the Program; (d) any misuse, abuse, or unauthorized use of Points or Store Certificates; or (e) any dispute between the Participant and any third party relating to the Program. SSW reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the Participant, and the Participant agrees to cooperate with SSW’s defense of such claims.
17. Disputes
Governing Law
These Terms and all matters arising out of or relating to the Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of MO, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Disputes; Arbitration
AS A CONDITION TO PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, SSW AND EACH PARTICIPANT ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE ANY dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Program (EACH, A “CLAIM”) IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT A PARTICIPANT WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTICIPANT WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
ANY CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN SSW AND A PARTICIPANT WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 17. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section and any arbitration between SSW and a Participant. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this Section 17, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or these Terms is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. SSW will be responsible for paying any individual consumer’s arbitration fees to AAA. If a Participant prevails on any Claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to such Participant under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
A Participant may elect to pursue a Claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if such Participant provides SSW with written notice of such Participant’s intention to do so within 60 days of the event giving rise to a Claim. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to a Participant’s individual Claim.
Each Participant agrees to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any Claim, NEITHER A PARTICIPANT NOR SSW WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER PARTIES IN COURT OR ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If any provision of this Section 17 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator, chosen by agreement of the applicable Participant and SSW. If such Participant and SSW fail to agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of the commencement of the arbitration, the arbitrator selection mechanism in the AAA Rules shall apply. The place of arbitration shall be St. Louis, MO unless such Participant and SSW agree in writing to a different location. Regardless of where the arbitration proceeding actually takes place, all aspects of the arbitration and these Terms shall be governed by the provisions of the laws of the State of MO (except if there is no applicable state law providing for such arbitration, then the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply) and the procedural and substantive law of such state shall be applied without reference to conflict of law rules. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by law or to enforce an award, such Participant, SSW or an arbitrator may not disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of SSW.
Participants and SSW acknowledge that by agreeing to this arbitration provision, they are giving up the right to litigate Claims against each other, and important rights that would be available in litigation, including the right to trial by judge or jury, to extensive discovery, and to appeal an adverse decision. Participants and SSW acknowledge that they have read and understand this Section 17 in these Terms and that they voluntarily agree to binding arbitration.
Balance Disputes
If the Participant believes the Participant’s Points balance, Store Certificate balance, or Tier assignment is incorrect, the Participant must contact SSW in writing within 3 months of the transaction or event in question. Failure to dispute within this period shall constitute waiver of any claim. SSW’s records shall be the final and binding determination of all Points earned, Store Certificates issued, and assignments of Tiers.
18. General Provisions
Void Where Prohibited
The Program is void where prohibited or restricted by applicable law. If any aspect of the Program is held to be illegal, void, or unenforceable under applicable law, SSW reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Program or any portion thereof in the affected jurisdiction.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties’ original intent.
No Waiver
SSW’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or right. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of SSW. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Participant’s Account agreement with SSW and the SSW Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and SSW regarding the Program and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the Program.
Conflict with Other Agreements
In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Participant’s Account agreement, negotiated pricing agreement, or any other agreement with SSW, the terms most favorable to SSW shall control unless SSW agrees otherwise in writing.
Assignment
The Participant may not assign, transfer, or delegate the Participant’s rights or obligations under these Terms or the Participant’s participation in the Program without the prior written consent of SSW. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. SSW may freely assign or transfer these Terms and its rights and obligations hereunder without restriction.
Headings
The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of any provision.
Survival
The provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration, including without limitation Sections 8 (Nature of Points and Store Certificates; No Cash Value), 14 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 15 (Limitation of Liability), 16 (Indemnification), 17 (Disputes), and 18 (General Provisions), shall survive any termination, expiration, or withdrawal from the Program.
