THIS SITE AND ANY AND ALL MUSE SLEEP SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. MUSE SLEEP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIEAL, OPERATION OF THE SITE, OR ANY MUSE SLEEP SERVICE OR PRODUCT MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE, PRODUCTS OR MUSE SLEEP SERVICIES IS DONE SOLEY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, MUSE SLEEP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MUSE SLEEP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR ANY OTHER INTERNET BASED PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, WEBSITES, APPLICATIONS, OR OTHER SERVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, MUSE SLEEP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF ANY MUSE SLEEP SITE, PRODUCT OR MUSE SLEEP SERVICE, INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ANY MUSE SLEEP SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. MUSE SLEEP DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACTS, OMISSIONS AND CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND ANY MUSE SLEEP SERVICE OR PRODUCT. YOUR SOLE REMEDY AGAINST MUSE SLEEP FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE IS TO STOP USING THE SITE.
Limitation of Liability
Except where prohibited by law, in no event will Muse Sleep be liable to you for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental or punitive damages, including lost profits, even if Muse Sleep has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
If, notwithstanding the other provisions of these Terms, Muse Sleep is found to be liable to you for any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Site, Muse Sleep Services, Products or any Content, Muse Sleep’s liability shall in no event exceed the greater of (1) the total of any actual costs or fees with respect to any service or purchase made on the Site, or (2) US $100.00. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.
Indemnity
As a condition to the use of the Site, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Muse Sleep, its officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors in interest, employees, agents, vendors, suppliers, subsidiaries and affiliates from and against liabilities, demands, losses, investigations, inquiries, claims, suits, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against Muse Sleep by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site.
Disputes
In the event that a dispute arises between you and Muse Sleep (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) related to these Terms, the Site, or your purchase of Products or use of any Muse Sleep Service, the following rules and procedures shall apply.
Muse Sleep aims to resolve disputes informally. If you wish to initiate this informal process, contact hello@musesleep.com with a notice that contains your contact information and a brief written statement setting that contains the facts of your Dispute and the details of what you are seeking. Muse Sleep will contact you using the information you provided. Consultation, communication, or negotiations will be attempted to be resolved within sixty (60) days of your submission. If an agreement is not made within sixty (60) days, you or Muse Sleep may resort to the procedures described below. If we are filing a Dispute with you, we will follow the same process. To contact you, we will use the e-mail and personal address specified when you placed an order on our Site.
If a resolution to the dispute is not made through the informal dispute resolution process, you agree to resolve such dispute through final and binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitration is subject to very limited review by courts, but an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration, either you or Muse Sleep may assert an individual claim in small claims court if your claim qualifies provided that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Any claim brought in small claims court will be governed by the laws of the state of North Carolina.
If you intend to initiate an arbitration proceeding, you must first send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Dungan, Kilbourne & Stahl, P.A., 1 Rankin Avenue, 3rd Floor, Asheville, NC 28801. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Muse Sleep will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Muse Sleep will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration 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 county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
You can opt-out of mandatory arbitration within 30 days of the purchase of your Muse Sleep Product, use of the Site or Muse Sleep Service by sending an e-mail to hello@musesleep.com with the subject line “Opt-Out of Mandatory Arbitration” and language within the e-mail clearly indicating your preference to opt-out of the mandatory arbitration. If you opt-out of the mandatory arbitration you agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
While using this site, Muse Sleep is not responsible for any dispute or disagreement that may arise between you and a third-party while using this site. You assume all risk associated when dealing with a third-party on our Site and agree to resolve dispute directly. You release and hold harmless Muse Sleep from and against all claims, injuries, demands, and exposures of any kind arising out of or relating to any such dispute or disagreement.
Applicable Law
By using this Site, any Muse Sleep Service or Product, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of North Carolina, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Muse Sleep.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Muse with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications relating to the Site. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
Miscellaneous
