6.  Paid Services And Fees

Certain Services are paid services. This section explains how we handle payments for those paid services. For certain paid services, such as site subscriptions, we’ll automatically bill you in regular intervals (such as monthly or annually) unless you disable auto-renewal or cancel your subscription. You can do that anytime.

7. eCommerce Responsibilities.

The Services include features that enable you to provide or sell products and services to, or otherwise collect payments from, your End Users (such activities, “Your eCommerce”). We’re not a party to, and we aren’t liable for, Your eCommerce. You're solely responsible for Your eCommerce, and compliance with any laws or regulations related to it, including without limitation the following: 

8. Pricing; Payment 

All pricing and fees will be set forth at point of sale. By using the Service you agree to pay all applicable fees. Drop Station reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees at any time. We will notify you of the pricing and fees which apply to your Transaction when you authorize the Transaction and in each receipt we issue  to you. Our fee may include transaction fees to process a Transaction,  which we will calculate in our discretion. We will notify you of the total amount of  your purchase at or before the time you authorize the Transaction. You are responsible for paying any additional fees charged by your financial services  provider. In the event that we receive a payment in an amount less than the total  due for the relevant Transaction, we will reject the order, notify you of the reason  for the rejection, and (except where otherwise required to comply with applicable  law) return the payment less our processing costs. 

When a Transaction is initiated through your Account, we will assume that you  authorized such Transaction, unless you notify us otherwise. If you believe you did not authorize a particular Transaction or that a Transaction was incorrectly carried  out, you must contact us as soon as possible. While we endeavor to assist with unauthorized or erroneous Transactions, we cannot guarantee that we will be able  to reverse or correct any Transaction once it has been initiated. 

You cannot cancel, reverse or change any Transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not successful, if your Payment Method has  insufficient funds or if you reverse a payment made from funds in your bank account, you authorize Drop Station, in its sole discretion, to either cancel the Transaction or to debit your any of your other Payment Methods in any amount  necessary to complete the Transaction on its original terms. You agree to make any such payment upon Drop Station’s request. You are responsible for maintaining an  adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, non sufficient funds (NSF) or similar fees charged by your financial services provider.

We reserve the right to refuse to process or to cancel or reverse any Transaction in our sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your Payment Method(s), if we suspect the Transaction violates this Agreement. In such instances, Drop Station will reverse the Transaction and we are under no obligation to  allow you to reinstate a purchase or sale order at the same price or under the same  terms as the canceled Transaction. 

Drop Station may use a third-party payment processor to process any payment you make to Drop Station. Drop Station may add or change any payment processing services at any time. Such services may be subject to additional terms or conditions.  Whether a particular currency or cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method  by Drop Station is in Drop Station’s sole discretion and subject to change at any time. 

Drop Station may from time to time make available certain conditional offers,  promotional prices, or discounted fees (each, a “Promotion”) to new or existing  users of the Service. The rules governing such Promotion will be made available in connection with such Promotion. Drop Station will determine your eligibility for any  Promotion in its sole discretion and may change the terms of or terminate a  Promotion at any time, with or without notice to you.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL DROP STATION OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF DROP STATION OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE.

19. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. 

  • Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Drop Station and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. This section does not govern disputes between users or between users and third parties.. Drop Station does not provide dispute resolution services for such disagreements and the parties must resolve those disputes directly.
  • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with Drop Station, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) you or Drop Station may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) you or Drop Station may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
  • Dispute resolution process. You and Drop Station both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to: Drop Station, Attn: Legal Department, Suite 4, 31-33 Riverbank Road Otaki, Kapiti 5512, New Zealand. Both parties agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if Drop Station is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but Drop Station agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference required by this paragraph. If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either party may commence arbitration, file an action in small claims court, or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, if the claims qualify.
  • Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding after participating in the dispute resolution process, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at Drop Station, Attn: Legal Department, Suite 4, 31-33 Riverbank Road Otaki, Kapiti 5512, New Zealand. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect. JAMS’s rules are available at 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, Drop Station will pay them for you if you complied with the dispute resolution process set forth above. In addition, Drop Station will reimburse all such JAMS filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or you did not comply with the dispute resolution process set forth above, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the JAMS Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area (if you live in the United States), or at another mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to you. 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 claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Drop Station. 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 these Terms. 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 DROP STATION 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 Drop Station are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the second bullet of this Section 20, above (“Applicability of Arbitration Agreement”). An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these 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 Actions and Class Arbitrations. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Drop Station agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County in the State of California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
  • Severability. Except as provided in this 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.
  • Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Drop Station.
  • Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Drop Station makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Drop Station at the following address: Drop Station, Attn: Legal Department, Suite 4, 31-33 Riverbank Road Otaki, Kapiti 5512, New Zealand.
20. Governing Law

These Terms and your access to and use of the Service shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflict of law rules or principles of the State of California, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction). Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration as set forth in Section 20 or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of San Francisco County in the State of California, and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California

23. Injunctive Relief
