The fees associated with your purchases will appear on your Active Credit Card statement through the identifier “NV ALPHASPERM LLC.” All prices displayed on the Site are quoted in U.S. Dollars, are payable in U.S. Dollars and are valid and effective only in the United States. Failure to use the Product(s) and/or Gift Card(s) does not constitute a basis for refusing to pay any of the associated charges. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, you agree to be bound by the Billing Provisions of ALPHASPERM® in effect at any given time. Upon reasonable prior notice to you (with Site-updates and/or e-mail sufficing), ALPHASPERM® reserves the right to change its Billing Provisions whenever necessary, in its sole discretion.

Once an electronic signature is submitted, this electronic order constitutes an electronic letter of agency. ALPHASPERM’s® reliance upon your electronic signature was specifically sanctioned and written into law when the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Transactions Act were enacted in 1999 and 2000, respectively.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALPHASPERM® SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND/OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF ALPHASPERM® HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW FOR: (A) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE ALPHASPERM® OFFERINGS AND/OR ANY OTHER CONTENT, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED BY AND THROUGH SAME; (B) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION, CONTENT AND/OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE ALPHASPERM® OFFERINGS; (C) THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION OF, YOUR REGISTRATION DATA; (D) THE FAILURE TO REALIZE ANY SPECIFIC DIETARY BENEFIT, WEIGHT LOSS, BEAUTY BENEFIT OR OTHER HEALTH-RELATED OUTCOME; AND/OR (E) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE ALPHASPERM® OFFERINGS AND/OR ANY OTHER CONTENT, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED BY AND THROUGH SAME.

THE NEGATION OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND ALPHASPERM®.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE LIABILITY OF ALPHASPERM® SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

THIS RELEASE INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE ALPHASPERM® GROUP.

TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION IS UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ALPHASPERM® GROUP BE LIABLE FOR: (A) LOSSES OR DAMAGES GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE APPLICABLE PRODUCT, ITEM OR SERVICE; OR (B) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES.

YOU AGREE TO COOPERATE AS FULLY AS REASONABLY REQUIRED IN THE DEFENSE OF ANY ASSOCIATED CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING, GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATION OR ENFORCEMENT ACTION, BUT WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, AT YOUR EXPENSE, TO ASSUME THE EXCLUSIVE DEFENSE AND CONTROL OF ANY MATTER IN WHICH YOU ARE A NAMED PARTY AND THAT IS OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION BY YOU. The provisions of this Section are for the benefit of ALPHASPERM®, its parents, subsidiaries and/or affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents, shareholders, licensors, suppliers and/or attorneys.

SECTION 21: DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS:
You agree that any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of the Site, its content, or the property, products or services of the ALPHASPERM®, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend the ALPHASPERM® or its employees, agents, affiliates, officers or directors are liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy ("Dispute"), shall be finally and exclusively settled by arbitration in San Francisco, California, and that said arbitration shall be governed by California law. Such arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefore. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered only in a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such court for that purpose. You and the ALPHASPERM® agree that the arbitrator shall have limited authority to award damages such that the arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of those permitted under this Agreement and in no event more than actual compensatory damages. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement or consolidation of arbitration between you and us under this Section with arbitration of disputes or claims of any other party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.
YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE ALPHASPERM® WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. THUS, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS AND TO SERVE AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY IN CONNECTION WITH A DISPUTE. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU AND ALPHASPERM® RETAIN THE RIGHT TO PURSUE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN COURT, AND AGREE TO SUBMIT EXCLUSIVELY TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, FOR THAT PURPOSE.
You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any Dispute, in the event the ALPHASPERM® incurs attorney fees or expenses in connection with the collection of sums owed to us by you under this Agreement, we shall be entitled to recovery of those fees and expenses from you.
SECTION 22: YOUR REPRESENTATIONS:
You represent and warrant that you: (a) are eighteen (18) years of age (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction, if greater than eighteen (18) years of age) or older; (b) are not under any legal or other disability which limits your ability to comply with these terms and conditions; (c) will not infringe upon any third party’s proprietary and/or intellectual property rights in connection with the ALPHASPERM® Offerings; and (d) will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the ALPHASPERM® Offerings.
SECTION 23: MISCELLANEOUS:
The failure of either party to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for hereunder will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of the Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created as a result of the Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind ALPHASPERM® in any respect whatsoever.
Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
Other than for payment obligations arising hereunder, neither party will be liable for, or will be considered to be in breach of, the Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by the Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions that are beyond such party’s reasonable control and that such party is unable to overcome through the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence. If any force majeure event occurs (which shall include, without limitation, acts of God, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, fire, storm or other natural occurrences, any conflicting order, direction, action or request of the federal, state and/or local governments or of any regulatory department, agency, commission, court or other instrumentality, or of any civil or military authority, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes, work stoppages or other such labor difficulties), the affected party will give prompt written notice to the other parties and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties’ obligations to one another shall be excused and/or postponed during and only for the duration of the applicable force majeure event and shall resume as soon as practicable after the force majeure event has ended.
You may not assign the Agreement or your rights and obligations thereunder to any third party without the prior express written approval of ALPHASPERM®. ALPHASPERM® may assign the Agreement and/or its rights and obligations hereunder to any third party, without your prior written consent. The provisions of the Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
If any provision contained in this agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions and portions of this agreement, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to have the most similar result that is valid and enforceable under applicable California law.
