Welcome to the Sagelink, Inc (dba Glyph). (together with its affiliates, "Glyph") websites, which include, but are not limited to www.glyph.earth and the Glyph app and all related services, content, functionality, and transactions offered by Glyph on or through www.glyph.earth and the Glyph app (each, a "Site" and collectively, the "Sites"). These Terms of Service (these "Terms") govern your use of each of the Sites and our online stores accessible via the Sites. The Sites and our services are collectively called the "Services".
Please read and review these Terms carefully, because by accessing or using the Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms when this option is presented to you, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don't agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN THE SECTION ENTITLED "DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION" BELOW REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST Glyph ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, MEANING YOU CANNOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST GLYPH IN COURT, AND CONFIRMS YOUR AGREEMENT TO A CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN ARBITRATION. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
Changes to Terms or Services
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Sites or through other communications. It's important that you check these terms regularly because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Sites, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because the Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, in our sole discretion.

If you want to use certain features of the Services, including purchasing products online, you’ll have to create an account ("Account") via the Sites and provide your name and email address. Creation of your Account on one of the Sites will enable you to use the features available on any and all of the Sites.
It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account, and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we may suspend or terminate your Account. You agree not to disclose your Account password to anyone and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You are fully responsible for your failure to safeguard your Account information and/or any actions resulting from your permitting any other person to access your Account.

How the Services Work. We make available an online platform that allows you to purchase products, mainly clothes and accessories ("Products"). Through the Services you will be able to browse our Products and place orders.
Order Confirmation. We will provide an email or other form of confirmation after receipt of your purchase order. Your receipt of an order confirmation merely confirms our receipt of your order and neither indicates our acceptance of your order nor confirms our offer to sell. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any order you place with us. We may also, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household or order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same Account, Method of Payment (as defined below), email address, and/or using the same billing and/or shipping address. We also reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address provided at the time the order was made. If we cancel all or any part of your order after your Method of Payment has been charged, we will refund the billed amount.
Shipment Confirmation and Delivery. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming the Products have been shipped. You may choose the method of shipment and timing of delivery for Products you order if more than one method is available, and you will be charged shipping and handling charges accordingly based on your choice. We are not responsible for deliveries that are delayed due to events that are beyond our control. However, we will work with you to ensure a smooth delivery.
Prices. The prices displayed for Products available for purchase via the Services represent the applicable retail prices, and do not include taxes, shipping or handling charges (to the extent applicable). Any applicable taxes, shipping or handling charges will be communicated to you before you place an order. The prices displayed on the Services are quoted in U.S. dollars. Products in your shopping cart reflect the current price displayed on the Product’s details page. Please note that this price may differ from the price displayed when the Product was first placed in your shopping cart.
Payment. By submitting an order through the Services, you agree to pay in advance the price of the Product(s) ordered, plus any applicable taxes, shipping and handling and/or other charges. Payment may be made by credit card or any other method of payment we may make available to you (each, a "Method of Payment"). In order to make a payment, you must provide us with valid credit card and/or other billing information and authorize us (or any third-party payment service provider engaged by us) to charge your Method of Payment for all orders placed and accepted via the Services.
Cancellation, Return and Exchange Policies. Cancellation, return and exchange policies are available to you via the Services. If a Product is not what you expected it to be, please review such policies to learn how and when you may return or exchange a Product purchased via the Services. You agree that any applicable shipping and/or handling charges may be non-refundable.
Product Information. Most Products displayed on the Services are available exclusively online through the Services. These Products may have limited quantities and, because of their limited availability, stock will not and cannot be refreshed. When a Product featured on the Services is no longer in stock, we use our best efforts to remove such Product from the Services in a timely manner. Should you have any questions concerning the availability of a particular Product, please contact our Customer Service at support@glyph.earth.
Errors, Inaccuracies and Omissions. We make every effort to present the most recent, accurate, and reliable information on the Services at all times. However, occasionally there may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to Product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, and availability. We reserve the right to amend errors or to update Product information at any time without prior notice. In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price due to photographical error, typographical error or any other error in pricing information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for any Product listed at the incorrect price. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your Method of Payment charged. If your Method of Payment has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we will issue a credit to your Method of Payment in the amount of the incorrect price.
Colors & Style. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the attributes, including colors and styles, of Products that appear on the Services. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will accurately reflect actual Product color or finish.
Cancellation of Orders. We reserve the right to cancel, modify or suspend any order placed if we determine in our sole discretion that a user has violated these Terms, including by engaging in any fraudulent or misleading activity (for example, by using false names, multiple identities, multiple email accounts or email addresses, impersonating another person or otherwise providing false or misleading information), or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that a user’s conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to our interests.

As part of the Services, you may receive notifications, alerts, emails, or other types of messages regarding the Services (for example, order confirmations, shipment confirmations and/or delivery information). We may also periodically send you emails that directly promote the Services and Products (for example, new Product offerings or features we provide, recommendations, special discounts or promotions). When you receive such promotional emails from us you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email you receive.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without the need to initiate a formal legal case. In the event of a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and Glyph, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (collectively, a "Dispute"), you and Glyph agree to try to resolve such Dispute informally by first sending a notice to the other clearly marked "Notice of Dispute" and containing a brief written statement setting forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to Glyph at support@glyph.earth. We will contact you via email at the address specified in any such notice or the address we have on file for your Account. You and Glyph agree to use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation and good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days of submission of such notice. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such submission, you or Glyph may resort to the other alternatives described in this section.
ARBITRATION. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY DISPUTE IS UNRESOLVED THROUGH INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN THE "INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION" SECTION ABOVE, AND EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND Glyph AGREE TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT GLYPH AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS. The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the "JAMS Rules") and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The Minimum Standards are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-arbitration/.
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms of Service and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Service, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate – Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Glyph may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Massachusetts or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or Content or actual or threatened intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.
Judicial Forum for Disputes If Class Waiver Invalidated. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason, then the Dispute will not be subject to arbitration and, other than small claims actions, must be brought in the appropriate federal or state court in Boston, Massachusetts. Claims brought in state court may be removed to federal court if removal jurisdiction exists. Both you and Glyph consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Boston, Massachusetts. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to Glyph, these Terms, the Content, the Services or any Products must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose.
