Hanshi Terms of Service

​

I. HANSHI STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They contain important information concerning the customer’s (“Customer”) legal rights, warranties, obligations, and available dispute resolution remedies. They also provide that if HANSHI is unable to resolve any matter to Customer’s satisfaction, Customer will exclusively use arbitration to decide the dispute and Customer will bring its claim solely on an individual basis and not in a class action or representative proceeding.

Except in those instances where HANSHI and a business Customer (“Business Customer”) enter into a separate written contract for the purchase of products and/or services providing for separate terms of sale, the following terms and conditions will apply. For clarification, the term “Customer” includes Business Customers as well as individuals, and the term Business Customer includes, but is not limited to, government, institutional, and educational customers.

HANSHI reserves the right to revise these Terms and Conditions at any time.

​

4. Payment

We have to include here how payments should be made and in which currency.

 

If the Customer fails to make payment within thirty (30) days of the order, HANSHI may defer shipments until such payment or compliance is made, require cash in advance for any further shipments Business Customer hereby unconditionally guarantees payment as a primary obligor of, as provided herein, all purchases made by Business Customer, its subsidiaries, and affiliates. Each of Business Customer’s subsidiaries and affiliates purchasing from HANSHI is jointly and severally liable for all purchases made by Business Customer and its subsidiaries, and Customer is also acting as an agent for such subsidiaries and affiliates. Business Customer further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless HANSHI from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses, or suits, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of, or in connection with any attempt to disgorge or recover payments to HANSHI made on behalf of Business Customer by a subsidiary and affiliate on the grounds that such payment was improper, unauthorized, or constituted a fraudulent transfer.

 

5. DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION

Any dispute of any sort that might arise between HANSHI and Customer, including any matters or disputes relating to or arising from the purchase or use of any product, service, or information offered or made available through HANSHI, or arising from or relating to any communication between Customer and HANSHI or its agents, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, and solely on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action, except that Customer may assert claims in small claims court if Customer’s claims qualify. The customer acknowledges and agrees that it is waiving the right to sue or go to court to secure relief. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages).

HANSHI and Customer both agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or another misuse of intellectual property rights.
