Our goal is to have clear and understandable pricing for our products. Our product prices are consistent in catalogs, in stores and online; however, product prices may be displayed differently in our stores. We use these pricing terms in our catalogs and online:

“Sale” refers to the price we offer when a product is on temporary markdown online. Sale prices are shown in SALE online (ex., Sale $15.95 reg. $19.95). In our catalog, sale prices are shown in SALE with a strikethrough of our regular price (ex., $19.95 $15.95).

“Clearance” refers to the price we offer when a product is on permanent markdown for purposes of selling through remaining inventory. Clearance prices are shown in SALE online (ex., Clearance $15.95 reg. $19.95). In our catalog, Clearance prices are shown in some highlighted with a strikethrough of our regular price (ex., $19.95 $15.95 Clearance). Clearance prices are valid while supplies last.

“Special” refers to promotional price available for a limited time only. Special prices are shown in SALE online and in our catalog and are compared to the MSRP rather than the regular price (ex., online: Special $15.95 sugg. $19.95; catalog: Sugg. $19.95 Special $15.95).

Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights

You and Fern&Co. agree that we will resolve any disputes between us through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Fern&Co. hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim. All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and Fern&Co. relating to these Terms of Use or the Website (each a “Claim”) shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.

If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Fern&Co. will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Fern&Co. from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Fern&Co. also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Fern&Co. retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms of Use, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Use.

Neither you nor Fern&Co. may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or Fern&Co.’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms of Use will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Terms of Use. This Section of the Terms of Use will survive the termination of your relationship with Fern&Co..

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR Fern&Co. WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Other Provisions

Under no circumstances will we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.
