Please read these terms and conditions (the “Terms” or “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the www.Troupe.com website (the “Site”) and the mobile application (“Application”) (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Troupe, Inc. (“Troupe”, “us”, “we”, or “our”).

Purchases 

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service (“Purchase”), you agree to pay all fees or charges to you or your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You may be asked to provide certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete. You must provide Troupe with valid information including valid credit card information (Visa, MasterCard, or any other payment method accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”). Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Troupe with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Troupe is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to Troupe hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Troupe of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder.

The Service may employ the use of third party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of Purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy .

Troupe reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Service or by e-mail delivery to you. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your Purchase at any time for reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your Purchase if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.

Unless otherwise provided by the applicable Payment Provider used in connection with your payment for your Purchase, you must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Notifications of billing disputes should be sent to the following e-mail address: [email protected].

Taxes

The payments required under of the Terms do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Service provided by Troupe. If we determine we have a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with the Terms, Troupe shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under the Terms. If any Service, or payments for any Service, under the Terms are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Troupe, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Troupe for any liability or expense Troupe may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Troupe’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

You agree to make all payments of fees to Troupe free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Troupe will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Troupe with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

Third Party Provider

We may use Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) as a third party service provider for payment services. By making a Purchase, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/us/privacy and hereby consent and authorize Troupe and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more third party service provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.

The information found on the Service may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Products or services may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable on the Service and we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information found on the Service.

The Service is controlled and offered by Troupe from its facilities in the United States of America. Troupe makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Service from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

Indemnification 

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Troupe and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, licensees and licensors, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors (“Troupe Parties”), from any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees), relating to or arising out of any of the following: a) your use of and access to, or inability to use of access, the Service, by you or any person using your account and password; b) your breach of these Terms; or c) your violation of any applicable laws, rules of regulations.

Basis of the bargain

Dispute Resolution

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Troupe and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

  • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any Purchase, or to any aspect of your relationship with Troupe, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or Troupe may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of the Terms or any prior version of the Terms.

  • Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to: Troupe, Inc., 12 E 49th Street 11th Floor New York City, New York 10036, Attn: Arbitration Dispute. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Troupe will pay them for you. In addition, Troupe will reimburse all such JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

  • You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  • Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Troupe. The arbitration proceeding 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 arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). 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. YOU AND TROUPE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Troupe are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” subsection above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow the Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

  • Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

  • 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected], within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Account username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

Except as provided in this Dispute Resolution Section, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, 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.
