1.         Terms of Acceptance.  If Seller accepts Buyer’s order or offer, it does so provided Buyer agrees only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of which are accepted by Buyer; and this Agreement supersedes Buyer’s order form, if any; and supersedes and cancels all prior communications between the parties.

2.         Representations, Limited Warranties and Disclaimers.  Seller’s warranty obligations for the Goods are limited to the terms set forth herein.  Seller only represents and warrants that the Goods shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a limited warranty period of one (1) year after delivery to the original end-user purchaser (“Warranty Period”).  Seller’s complete responsibility for its warranty is limited to either: (1) the repairing of defective Goods at no charge, using new parts or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability; or (2) the furnishing of sufficient Goods to replace defective Goods.  Any such repair or replace decision shall be made solely at Seller’s discretion.  A repaired or replacement part, product or Good assumes the remainder of the Warranty Period of the original product or Good sold to Buyer.  This Limited Warranty applies only to Goods manufactured by or for Aspire Innovation, LLC, that can be identified by Seller’s trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to it and does not apply to similar products that may be produced by third-party manufacturers.  This Limited Warranty does not apply: (1) to any protective coatings designed to diminish over time unless such failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (2) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to, scratches, dents, and broken plastic components not integral to the proper use and function of the Good; (3) to damage caused to Buyer’s iPad or similar product occurring in conjunction with the use of Goods produced by Seller; (4)  to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, fire, earthquake or other external causes; or (5) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Goods.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS WARRAnty and the remedies set forth herein are the sole and exclusive remedies and conditions, whether oral, written, statutory, express or implied. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE DESIGN OR SPECIFICATION OF THE GOODS OR THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH THE GOODS ARE MANUFACTURED.

3.         Buyer’s Cancellation.  With all orders being individually entered and processed immediately upon receipt, Seller reserves the right to charge back to the Buyer all costs incurred from either cancellation or any changes to any order.

4.         Returned Goods; Shipping.  For eligible Goods, Buyer has up to thirty (30) calendar days after delivery to the original Buyer to initiate a return.  Returned Goods must be shipped to:

Aspire Inspiration, LLC

1279 Maxwell Avenue

Evansville, Indiana 47711

All products must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that shipped with the product to be eligible for a refund.  The Buyer will bear the cost of shipping any returnable Goods back to Seller for repair, replacement or refund.  If Buyer is located in the United States, Buyer shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price of the Goods; if Buyer is located outside the United States, Buyer shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price of the Goods, less the shipping and handling costs attributed to original shipping and delivery of the Goods to Buyer.  Aspire Innovation, LLC, highly recommends that Buyer either (1) use a carrier that offers shipment tracking for all returns or (2) insure the package for safe return to Seller or declare the full value of the shipment to ensure complete protection if the shipment is lost or damaged in transit.  If Buyer fails to take such action when returning Goods to Seller, Buyer will be solely responsible for any loss or damage to the Goods during shipping and prior to Seller’s receipt of such returned Goods.

5.      Payment and Pricing Terms.  For payment by credit card, Buyer must supply the credit card details at the time of the order.  Seller will not ship or supply the Goods until the credit card issuer has authorized the payment of the Goods ordered. For payment by check or wire transfer, a request for payment will be sent to Buyer and the Goods will be shipped and supplied only after payment is cleared. If Seller does not receive payment in cleared funds within thirty (30) days after the date of the order, then the order will be cancelled.  The price for the Goods will be the price indicated in the order confirmation. The price of the Goods does not include standard freight and insurance using a Seller-selected carrier.  The price of the Goods does not include value added tax or other federal, state, or local taxes or duties (collectively “Taxes”).  All Taxes, if any, due on account of purchases hereunder shall be paid by Buyer.  All invoiced sums shall be paid in full in the currency of the invoice without deduction or set off (statutory or otherwise) and in cleared funds.  No refund shall be made by Seller to the Buyer for any Goods which are abandoned or unclaimed by Buyer or for any Goods which are returned or not delivered to Buyer for Buyer's failure to pay any Taxes to the carrier or when otherwise due and payable.  If Seller has reasonable grounds to believe that Buyer will fail to comply with the present payment terms, Seller shall be entitled to postpone or to refuse shipment or delivery of an order, in Seller’s sole discretion, until payment is made fully, in cleared funds prior to shipment.

The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be split and paid equally by each of the parties.  In the event of any arbitration between the parties hereto involving this Agreement or the respective rights of the parties hereunder, the party who does not prevail in such arbitration shall pay all the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ and experts' fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in resolving said matter.  As used herein the term ‘prevailing party’ shall include, but not be limited to, a party who obtains legal counsel or brings an action against the other by reason of the other’s breach or default and obtains substantially the relief sought whether by compromise, settlement, or judgment.  Each party hereby consents to a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding of multiple claims, or claims involving two (2) or more parties. Notwithstanding said Rules, each party shall be permitted and limited to a single deposition of such opposing party and its expert witness(es) at opposing party’s place of business, which deposition(s) shall not exceed our (4) hours each in duration.  Either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief or other interim measures as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, in aid of the arbitration proceedings, or to enforce the arbitration award, but not otherwise.  Any such application to a court shall not be deemed incompatible or a waiver of this provision.  The arbitrator shall be required to make written findings of fact and conclusions of law to support its award.  Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator(s) may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in said Arbitration Rules, the arbitrator shall not be authorized or empowered to award indirect, special, consequential, incidental, treble or punitive damages, and the parties expressly waive any claim to such damages.  By execution of this Agreement, the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association and waive any objection which either party may have to any proceeding so commenced based upon improper venue or forum non coveniens.
