At PipingRock We believe that, as Our online visitor, You have a right to know Our practices regarding the information We collect from You when You visit Our websites. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern Your access to or use of Our websites (including https://www.pipingrock.com),, online store, Our Rewards Program, Our blog, mobile applications, electronic services, or any other applications, content, products, and services made available by PipingRock (collectively, “Services”), excluding other websites which are linked to/from the Services; those linked websites may be governed by different agreements. Please read these Terms carefully, as they constitute a legal agreement between You and PipingRock. 

By accessing or using the Services, including all Content (as defined below), You confirm Your agreement to be bound by these Terms. You acknowledge that (a) You have read and understood these Terms; and (b) these Terms have the same force and effect as an agreement signed by You. If You disagree with any part of the Terms, then You do not have permission to access the Services.

PLEASE NOTE:  These Terms contain a mandatory arbitration agreement. Please review the Arbitration Agreement set forth below carefully, as it will require you to resolve all disputes with the Company on an individual basis through final and binding arbitration, and require you to forego jury trials, class actions, and all other types of court proceedings of any and every kind, unless you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by following the opt-out procedures described below. By entering this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge that you have read and understand all of the terms of the Arbitration Agreement and have taken time to consider the consequences of this important decision.

I.  Arbitration Agreement

By agreeing to these Terms, You agree that You are required to resolve any claim that You may have against PipingRock on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude You from bringing any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action against PipingRock, and also preclude You from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against PipingRock by someone else.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You & PipingRock

You and PipingRock agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) any part of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) Your access to or use of the Services at any time, will be settled by binding, individual arbitration between You and PipingRock, and not in a court of law in any jurisdiction.

You and PipingRock agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

You acknowledge and agree that You and PipingRock are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Unless both You and PipingRock agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, You and PipingRock each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyright rights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

Rules and governing law

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and any supplementary rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, You and PipingRock agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Arbitration process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. You can contact AAA for more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding at www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879.

For claims under $10,000, You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where You live or at another mutually agreed location. If Your claim at or above $10,000, Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's applicable rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the Arbitrator determines that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, as measured by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).  Likewise, We will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, as measured by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).

Arbitrator’s decision

The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties.

Changes to Arbitration Agreement

Notwithstanding the provisions in Section I above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if PipingRock changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date You first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), You may reject any such change by providing PipingRock written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective.

By rejecting changes, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any dispute between You and PipingRock in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date You first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).

XV.  PipingRock Rewards Program Provisions

The following enumerated paragraphs apply to the Rewards Program, accessible at https://rewards.pipingrock.com:

1. Your Participation is Voluntary; Your Evaluation is Independent

Your participation in Our Rewards Program is voluntary and is effective until terminated by either Us or You. Either We or You may terminate Your Rewards Program participation at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Notice of termination may be given to You using the email address You provided during Your registration process. Notice of termination may be given to Us by sending an email to rewards@pipingrock.com. You are only eligible to accumulate rewards on sales occurring during the term of Your Rewards Program participation. Your Reward Money will automatically convert to Rewards Points if they remain unused for 180 days after being posted to Your Rewards account.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) CONDUCT A REWARDS PROGRAM OR PROGRAMS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE REWARDS PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT.

2. Modification and Termination of the Rewards Program:

We may modify any term of the Rewards Program and/or terminate the Rewards Program at any time, in Our sole discretion, by posting a change or termination notice on the relevant website of Service. Such modifications may include, for example, changes in the Rewards rate, reward schedules, redemption procedures and applicable rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE REWARDS PROGRAM WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF ANY CHANGES. If We terminate Our Rewards Program, Our sole obligation will be to distribute to You Your Reward Money in the form of a check or Rewards Points to You, to be used towards Your pipingrock.com purchases. Our obligation is limited to a maximum of six months of Rewards, calculated based on Your Rewards for the month immediately preceding the month in which We terminate the Rewards Program.

We reserve the right to terminate any account if We deem the account is linked to fraudulent matters of any kind, including referrals, reviews, disputed purchases or credit card charges; spam (unsolicited email) and indiscriminate advertising, or intentional misuse of the Rewards Program including, but not limited to, using more than one account.

3. How You Earn Your Rewards:

We appreciate the "word of mouth" advertising Our customers provide and reward You for introducing Your relatives and friends to PipingRock and Our products and Services. You earn Your Rewards when others use Your Rewards Code to place an order. The Rewards You earn are based on others’ purchases, not the disclosure, deletion or sale of Personal Information. PipingRock Rewards can be used towards purchases on Our websites or can be redeemed for cash at a specific accumulation amount, as We describe below.

For the rewards schedule and information on Our Rewards Program, please visit Our frequently asked questions page at https://rewards.pipingrock.com/faq. This page is hereby incorporated by reference and included as part of this document. You hereby represent that You have read the FAQ page and agree to the terms set forth therein.

Please note that all statements made by You in the Rewards program are subject to the other provisions of these Terms of Use, including User Submissions. In addition, by participating in the Rewards Program, You represent that Your statements about the products are truthful and You will not make any statements and/or product claims in violation of any laws, including laws and regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE REWARDS PROGRAM AT ANY TIME AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

4. How You Can Use Your Rewards:

When You receive Rewards, simply log into Your PipingRock account and shop as You normally would. Once You begin adding items to Your shopping cart, You will see available Rewards being automatically subtracted from Your subtotal, assuming You have accepted the most recent version of this document. Please note that no Rewards will be available for Your use until You accept the most recent version of this document.

On the last day of each month, if Your account has a specified minimum amount of Rewards, then You may elect to receive payment from Us in the form of a check if You provide Us with the necessary tax ID information. Reward amounts below a specific threshold will be rolled over to the next month. You will be responsible for any and all tax liability arising from any Rewards You accumulate under the Rewards Program.

Your Rewards Code is valid only for use by first time customers to whom You recommend Our products. To ensure that You don’t lose these credits, We automatically apply all available Rewards to Your personal purchases, subject to Your acceptance of this document.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE REWARDS PROGRAM AT ANY TIME AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

5. Your Tax information:

You will be responsible for any and all tax liability arising from any rewards You accumulate under the Rewards Program. United States federal laws require Us to obtain tax information from Rewards Program participants who are United States citizens or United States residents (W-9) and from Rewards Program participants who are not United States citizens or residents but whose businesses are taxable in the United States (W-8ECI). If We believe You are a Rewards Program participant from whom We are obligated to obtain tax information, and You do not provide this information to Us after We have requested it, We may withhold Your Rewards until You provide this information or otherwise satisfy Us that You are not a person from whom We are required to obtain tax information. For US citizens or residents, information about submitting tax information is available on rewards.pipingrock.com.

6. Promotional Activity:

You may share Your Rewards Code on a personal blog or any available social media accounts, subject to the terms and conditions of those accounts. However, Your social media profile may not contain any content or logo that could be interpreted as being managed or controlled by Us. Likewise, Your blog, website or social media pages may not resemble the Services or include any content that could be on its own or in the aggregate be interpreted to indicate an affiliation with Us, including, but not limited to, use of any Our trade name, trademark, trade dress, logo, copyrighted material, or any similar protected content.

You may also email Your Rewards Code or send a text message to friends and family. In doing so, You represent and warrant that You will not engage in and/or facilitate spamming, unsolicited commercial email or otherwise fail to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-187) or any successor legislation, and/or any other laws and/or regulations that govern email marketing and/or communications.

You may not purchase or use domain names that include the words “PipingRock” or certain variations and misspellings. We don’t want to confuse the general public about which are the official PipingRock websites or Services.

We don’t want to confuse the general public about Our official mobile applications, so You may not create one that looks similar to any of Our apps. Your app may not integrate and/or use or link to Our app in any way. Likewise, You are not permitted to participate in any advertising as the Rewards Program is not intended for commercial purposes.

7. Program Participation

By participating in the Rewards Programs, You represent that You are at least 18 years of age. The Program can only be used by one customer account per household. If You have multiple adults living at the same residence, there should only be one Rewards Code for the entire family. Likewise, while products can be used many people in the household, Your review of a product should only apply to one Rewards Code. Any misuse of the Rewards Program will result in immediate termination and forfeiture of all accumulated Rewards.

All accounts must be in the name of a living person, not a business entity. Furthermore, accounts are not personal to You. They are not transferrable and are not eligible for any succession. In the event of the passing of the account owner, contact rewards@pipingrock.com, and the account will be closed. All eligible Reward Money and Points will be dispersed according to Our current documentation at that time.

8. No Warranty:

THE REWARDS PROGRAM IS BEING PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS", WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITIONS. WE EXCLUDE ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND OTHER TERMS WHICH OTHERWISE MIGHT BE IMPLIED OR INCORPORATED INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

XVI.  Copyright Infringement Notice

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If You believe that Content on the Services violates Your copyright, please send Us a notice to PipingRock Heath Products, LLC, 3900 Veterans Memorial Highway, Suite 200, Bohemia NY 11716, Attention: General Counsel or email Us at customerservice@pipingrock.com.

Your notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to locate the material;

Upon receipt of a notice of claimed infringement that satisfies these requirements (or any statement in conformance with 17 U.S.C.§512(c)(3)), We will act expeditiously to investigate the matter fully, and if appropriate will remove or disable access to any Content that is claimed to be infringing upon the copyright of any person under the laws of the United States and will terminate the access privileges of those who repeatedly infringe on the copyrights of others. United States law imposes substantial penalties for falsely submitting a notice of copyright infringement.

XVII.  Disclaimers

You agree that Your use of the Services shall be at Your sole risk. The Services and Content are provided on an “as is” basis. PipingRock gives no warranty and makes no representation in relation to the Services or the Content. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services is with the buyer. Should the Services prove defective following their purchase, the buyer and not the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repair. PipingRock expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permitted by law, and You waive any representation or warranty (express, implied, or statutory) that may be implied by these Terms, by custom, or by law or otherwise and which is not expressly set out herein. This includes the disclaimer of any implied warranties of availability of the Services, non-disruption, security, accuracy, the use of reasonable care and skill, quality, merchantability, title or entitlement, fitness for a particular purpose, ability to achieve a particular result or functionality and non-infringement of third-party rights, as well as warranties arising by usage of trade, course of dealing, and course of performance by PipingRock relating to the Services, the Content, User Submissions, any software licensed or provided to You by PipingRock, and any agreement with a third-party. PipingRock also does not represent or warrant that the Services will operate in combination with other hardware, software, systems or data not provided by PipingRock; that Services errors will be corrected; or that the Services are PCI compliant.

As noted below, in certain states, the law may not permit the disclaimer of warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to You.

XVIII.  Limitation of Liability

In no event shall PipingRock be liable to You or any third-party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from the Services or third-party products or services, under these Terms or in connection with their performance or breach. This limitation applies to any loss of profits or savings, or anticipated profits or savings, data, opportunity, reputation, goodwill or business, even if PipingRock has been advised of the possibility of such damages in advance.

PipingRock assumes no liability or responsibility for any (1) errors, mistakes, inaccuracies, or omissions of and in any content, (2) personal injury or property damage of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, data loss or corruption) resulting from Your access to and use of the Services, (3) unauthorized access to or use of Our servers and/or any and all personal information, content, and/or information stored therein, (4) interruption, cessation, suspension, or disruption of transmission to or from the Services, including from PipingRock’s negligence, (5) inadequate or faulty hardware operating the Services, (6) bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, destructive computer codes, or the like which may be transmitted to or through the Services by any third-party, (7) user content, third-party websites or apps, and/or (8) loss, damage, or other undesirable consequences of any kind resulting from the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Services. PipingRock will also have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liability or loss that You or any other person may incur, or for any other undesirable consequences, resulting from Your breach of Your warranties or other obligations under these Terms, including, without limitation, the obligation to avoid sharing Your email account information with any other person.

By accessing or using the Services, You understand that You are waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unspecified, and in accordance with such waiver, You acknowledge that You have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

PipingRock’s maximum aggregate liability for any single event (or a series of related events) giving rise to a claim in connection with these Terms or in relation to the Services will be limited to the amount You paid Us during the three months preceding Your initiation of the claim or dispute. Such a refund, in any case, will be governed by the applicable Refund Policy and the Terms of Sale specified on the Services or in these Terms. Any claims relating to use of the Services must be bought within one (1) year from the date the cause of action arose. Claims brought after such period are waived and VOID.

The Services are controlled and offered by PipingRock from its facilities in the United States of America. We make no representation that Content on any Services is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. Those who access or use the Services do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local and all other applicable laws, restrictions, and regulations.

The limitations, exclusions and disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  The limitations and LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING NEW JERSEY LAW. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS PROVISION SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE COMPANY’S CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.

XIX.  Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PipingRock from and against any claim, loss, obligation, demand, damage, cost, liability, expense, and attorneys’ fees incurred, resulting from or arising out of (1) Your access to, use, or misuse of the Services; (2) a breach of these Terms; (3) Your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any copyright, property, or privacy right; (4) any claim that any of Your User Submissions caused damage to an indemnified party or a third-party; (5) any transaction You conduct as a result of the contact facilitated by the Services; or (6) any activity using Your email address by You or any other person accessing the Services using Your email address. We reserve the right, at Our own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You and, in such case, You agree to cooperate with Us in the defense of such matter. You may not settle any claim covered by these Terms or admit any liability on the part of the Company without the Company's prior written approval.

 XX.  Jurisdiction & Venue

The laws of the State of New York govern these Terms and govern any dispute of any sort that may arise between You and the Company or its affiliates, without regard to conflict of laws rules of any other jurisdiction. In the event You opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement in Section I of these Terms, or the Arbitration Agreement does not otherwise apply, You irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in or serving Suffolk County, New York for any action relating to the Services or these Terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, We may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, You must file any claim or action related to use of the Services or these Terms within one year after such claim or action accrued. Otherwise, You will waive the claim or action.

XXI.  Termination

These Terms constitute an agreement between You and the Company, which the Company may terminate in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason. If the Company terminates this agreement with You, You may no longer access the Services. Upon termination of this agreement and/or Your access to the Services, You will immediately destroy any copies of any Content, whether in printed, downloaded or other software format. Otherwise applicable portions of these Terms survive termination of these Terms, including applicable portions of the sections relating to No Professional Advice or Medical Information; User Submissions; Third Party Sites; Electronic Communications; Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Jurisdiction; Termination; and Entire Agreement, Severability, Survival, No Waiver.

XXII.  Entire Agreement, Severability, Survival & No Waiver

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Return Policy incorporated by reference and any policies that We post on the Services, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. If any provision (or part thereof) of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, the unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision or part thereof shall be severed from these Terms; the severance of such terms or part thereof shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Terms, including the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and the remaining provisions or parts thereof will remain in place and the invalidated provision or part thereof will be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision or part thereof that most closely reflects the intent of the parties. To the extent any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms or insist upon compliance with any term or condition of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or any other rights or provisions included within the Terms or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by You.

XXIII.  Changes, Modifications & Discontinuances

By using the Services, You agree to be bound by the most recent version of the Terms. PipingRock reserves the right to change these Terms at any time. Please review the Terms each time You visit the Services. If We have Your email address, We may, but are not obligated to, notify You of material changes to the Terms via email. What constitutes a material change will be determined at PipingRock’s sole discretion. If We do not have Your email address, We will update this page to reflect any changes to the Terms.

We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Services (or any portion of the Services), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to You, and are not obligated to support or update the Services. YOU AGREE THAT PIPINGROCK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY IN THE EVENT THAT WE EXERCISE OUR RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE THE SERVICES (OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Services shall be subject to these Terms.

By continuing to access or use the Services after any revisions to the Terms become effective, You agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If You do not agree to the new Terms, You are no longer authorized to access or use the Services.
