In the event of a chargeback, the Company reserves its right to report it to the credit bureaus as a delinquent account. 


15. Bonus Materials and Offers

Bonus materials and offers, including printed materials, are provided as a courtesy and are not a condition of the Program. Bonuses may have their own deadlines or availability, and delivery timing is not guaranteed. Unused, expired, or delayed bonuses are not grounds for a refund.


16. ARBITRATION CLAUSE:

If you have any complaint or should any issue arise in the use of the Program, please contact us directly first by emailing Shasta Garcia at practice@playethic.studio.

However, if we are unable to amicably resolve your dispute in that manner, you agree that you and Shasta Garcia + Play Ethic Studio shall submit your dispute to binding arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, before an arbitrator that is mutually agreed upon, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules.

By agreeing to this term, you hereby agree and understand that you’re waiving your right to a jury trial in court, which would otherwise be available to you if not for this Arbitration Clause. Should any arbitration hearing need to be held, it shall be held within 25 miles of San Francisco, California or by video conference, if both parties agree. 

If the arbitrator issues an award and a judgment is made, the judgment will be binding and will be entered in court in the State of California. The only award that can be issued to you is a refund of any payment made to Play Ethic Studio for the applicable Program. You are not permitted to seek additional damages, including consequential or punitive damages.


17. Limitation of Liability:

Shasta Garcia and Play Ethic Studio are not responsible or liable in any way for any and all damages you receive directly or indirectly from your participation in the Program. We do not assume liability for damages, injuries, harm, death, misuse of (or failure to properly use) the Program or its content, due to any act, or failure to act, by you. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Play Ethic Studio is not responsible for the merchant’s independent policies or practices.

The provisions of these Terms of Use shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any Section, subsection, sentence, or clause of these Terms of Use shall be adjudged illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability shall have no effect on the Terms of Use as a whole or on any Section, subsection, sentence, or clause hereof not expressly so adjudged.
