Tjikko Roots Referral Program Terms And Conditions

These Tjikko Roots Referral Program Terms and Conditions (these “Referral Terms”) govern your participation in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program (as defined below). These Referral Terms are in addition to any other agreements between you and Tjikko Roots, Inc. (“Tjikko Roots”), including, without limitation, the Tjikko Roots Privacy Policy located at www.tjikkoroots.com/pages/privacy-policy (as may be amended from time to time, the “Additional Tjikko Roots Terms”). The Additional Tjikko Roots Terms are hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply to your participation in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program, including, if necessary, to resolve any disputes between you and Tjikko Roots arising out of the Tjikko Roots Referral Program. To the extent the Additional Tjikko Roots Terms are inconsistent with these Referral Terms, these Referral Terms will control with respect to the Tjikko Roots Referral Program only. These Referral Terms apply to both Referrers and Referred Customers (each, as defined below).

Tjikko Roots may modify these Referral Terms at any time, in its sole discretion. If Tjikko Roots does so, Tjikko Roots will let you know either by posting the modified Referral Terms on www.tjikkoroots.com (the “Site”) or through other communications. It is important that you review the modified Referral Terms whenever they are modified because, if you continue to use or participate in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program after Tjikko Roots has posted the modified Referral Terms on the Site, you are indicating to Tjikko Roots that you agree to be bound by the modified Referral Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Referral Terms, then you may not use or participate in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program anymore.

The Tjikko Roots Referral Program is offered by Tjikko Roots and provides Referrers (as defined below) with the opportunity to refer eligible individuals to purchase products from Tjikko Roots (the “Tjikko Roots Referral Program”). A “Referrer” is a Tjikko Roots customer who (a) has a valid customer account in good standing on the Site, (b) is at least eighteen (18) years of age and (c) receives an invitation from Tjikko Roots to participate in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program (an “Invitation”) that contains a unique referral link (the “Unique Referral Link”). The Tjikko Roots Referral Program will also specify the Referral Credit and Referred Reward (each, as defined below) and the manner(s) in which the applicable Referrer can distribute his or her Unique Referral Link to his or her friends. For instance, a Referrer may be able to generate an automatic e-mail or message via social media to a potential customer containing the applicable Unique Referral Link. You represent and warrant that (i) you have the necessary consent from each such potential customer to whom you send a message regarding the Tjikko Roots Referral Program and (ii) you will at all times remain compliant with CAN-SPAM, the TCPA and any other applicable laws.

A “Referred Customer” means an individual who:

1) clicks on a Unique Referral Link to place an order on the Site before the Tjikko Roots Referral Program end date, communicated when Tjikko Roots sent the applicable Referrer the Invitation;

2) does not cancel such order prior to shipment and does not return or seek a refund for such order within thirty (30) calendar days (the “Return Period”); and

3) is a new (and not a returning or existing) Tjikko Roots customer who is at least eighteen (18) years of age. For the avoidance of doubt, any individual who has previously created a customer account on the Site cannot be a Referred Customer.

For every Referred Customer that use a Referrer’s Unique Referral Link to satisfy the above conditions, the applicable Referrer will receive a referral credit, which will be specified in the Invitation received by such Referrer (the “Referral Credit”). 

Each Referred Customer will also receive a referred reward, which will be specified in the Invitation to the Referrer whose Unique Referral Link such Referred Customer used to create an account on the Site (the “Referred Reward”). An individual may only create one (1) customer account on the Site and may only receive one (1) Referred Reward for becoming a Referred Customer, even if the individual receives and attempts to click through multiple Unique Referral Links.

The Referral Credit and Referred Reward may consist of a promotional account credit, promotional code, promotional gift card or other similar discount or promotion that may be redeemed on the Site, which will be automatically sent by e-mail to the applicable Referrer or Referred Customer within thirty (30) days after the above conditions have been met. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Invitation, all Referral Credits and Referred Rewards will only be valid for redemption for one (1) year from the date on which Tjikko Roots sends such Referral Credit or Referred Reward to the applicable Referrer or Referred Customer and must be applied on such Referrer’s or Referred Customer’s next purchase. ALL REFERRAL CREDITS AND REFERRED REWARDS EXPIRE AFTER ONE (1) YEAR. For example, the Referrer may receive a $10 “Tjikko credit” that may be redeemed through our website for an additional discount on a product or a subscription. (For clarity, “Tjikko credits” may only be used towards purchases on our website and for no other purpose.) Also for example, the Referred Customer may receive an additional discount or credit when purchasing a subscription.

Referral Credits and Referred Rewards are only valid for use on the Site and are not transferable or redeemable for cash. Referral Credits and Referred Rewards may contain additional limitations, as set forth in the applicable Invitation. A Referral Credit will not be awarded until the applicable Return Period has lapsed for three (3) Referred Customers. Tjikko Roots reserves the right to withhold, deduct or revoke Referral Credits and Referred Rewards obtained through the Tjikko Roots Referral Program in the event that Tjikko Roots determines or believes that the receipt of the Referral Credit or Referred Reward was in error, fraudulent, illegal or in violation of these Referral Terms or any of the Additional Tjikko Roots Terms. All Tjikko Roots promotions run for a limited time only and are subject to change at Tjikko Roots’s discretion.

Participation in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program may require you to submit personal information about yourself, such as name and email address. You agree to receive communications from us with regard to your participation in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program. Any information collected from you or your referred customers as part of the Tjikko Roots Referral Program will be subject to the Tjikko Roots Privacy Policy located at www.tjikkoroots.com/pages/privacy-policy.

We may terminate your eligibility to earn a Referral Credit or Referred Reward or terminate your account on the Site if you take any of the following actions:

1) Open multiple accounts, including with different e-mail addresses, in order to generate additional Referral Credits or Referred Rewards;

2) Refer customers using spam, display advertising, sponsored links, unsolicited e-mails, automated systems or bots, scripts or automatic dialers or links on message boards or forums.

3) Use false names, impersonate other people, or otherwise provide false or misleading information to us;

4) Offer incentives to others who register new accounts;

5) Violate these Referral Terms or any of the Additional Tjikko Roots Terms;

6) Participate in the Tjikko Roots Referral Program where doing so would be prohibited by any applicable law or regulations ;

7) Use the Tjikko Roots brand in connection with disparaging or defamatory content, content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred, discrimination or physical harm against any group or individual, offensive, abusive intimidating or harassing content, content that is sexually explicit, obscene and/or contains nudity, any political and/or religious statement, any content containing image s or reference to illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons or firearms or content that violates someone else’s privacy;

8) Sell or otherwise attempt to transfer your Unique Referral Link;

9) Violate or infringe the rights of any third party.

You understand and agree that any communications you send with respect to the Tjikko Roots Referral Program are being sent by you as an individual, on your own behalf, and not on behalf of Tjikko Roots. You are not acting as an agent of Tjikko Roots nor will you be deemed an employee of Tjikko Roots. As such, while, as a Referrer, you can and should include your Unique Referral Link in communications about the Tjikko Roots Referral Program, you must not, without Tjikko Roots’s written permission, include any Tjikko Roots trademarks or other Tjikko Roots materials in such communications. The content of all of your communications about the Tjikko Roots Referral Program must be yours alone. You will not misrepresent or embellish your relationship with Tjikko Roots or write, say or post anything you know is untrue or may be misleading.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of Switzerland without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Tjikko Roots agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) 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 copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be Switzerland and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and Tjikko Roots are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Tjikko Roots otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration (“ICC ICA”) in accordance with the International Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “ICA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The ICA Rules are available at https://icc-switzerland.ch/dispute-resolution-services/icc-international-court-of-arbitration.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the ICA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the ICA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the ICA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the ICA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Tjikko Roots otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Tjikko Roots submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the ICA Rules. Subject to the ICA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the ICA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. 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. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Tjikko Roots will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any ICA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the ICA Rules.

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Tjikko Roots and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Tjikko Roots and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Tjikko Roots’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Tjikko Roots may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Tjikko Roots under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by Tjikko Roots: (i) via email to the email address you provide us via the Services; or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Tjikko Roots’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Tjikko Roots. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
