VI. Return Policy and Other Refunds

Our goal is to help you on your current printing or framing project, and many more to come. If your print or frame shows up with any defects or you’re not completely satisfied, let us know immediately and we will do our best to make it right. If any Product arrives with visible defects in craftsmanship, or the frame was not made to fit the specifications you provided during your order, we will replace the Product(s) entirely or offer a refund provided you let us know about any issue within 60 days of receiving the Product(s). You may cancel an order if you are able to communicate the cancellation to us before the Products in the order are in production (typically within 48 hours). If the order has already been put into production or completed, cancellations are subject to a 30% cancellation fee. Due to the custom nature of our Products, we cannot accept returns or provide refunds if the Products arrive as ordered and without any visible defects. 

VII. Truthful Communications

You promise that all of the information that you provide to Level when communicating with us via the Site and/or otherwise, and when purchasing Products from us, will be true, accurate, current, and complete. We are not responsible for problems that you encounter as a result of false, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information that you provide to us. For example, when you purchase a Product via the Site, we will ship that Product to the address that you provided while completing your order. If that address is incorrect, you may experience problems with your purchase for which we will not be responsible

VIII. Messenger and Courier Services

If you purchase certain Products from Level you may have the option of scheduling a messenger or courier service pick up items for the purposes of sending them to Level for framing, or using a courier service to ship finalized frames and other Products back to you. This option will be dependent on your zip code and is not available in all areas. Messenger pickups are generally free of charge, but Level reserves the right to charge you an additional shipping charge based on your location or the items that are being transported.

IX. Transportation of Artwork or Photographs

As part of delivering our printing and framing services, you may elect to send us artwork, prints, photos, textiles, trading cards, jerseys, albums and other items for us to frame. Upon framing any items that have been provided to us, we will send them back to you by USPS, FedEx, UPS, courier service or other means of transport. If any of the items you are considering framing are valuable or irreplaceable, please do not send them to us. It is extremely rare that items shipped to or from Level are lost or irreversibly damaged in transit, but there does exist risk of this occurring. You may inquire about adding insurance to any shipment to or from Level containing your items, and we will provide quotes to the best of our ability. Note that the final decision to send us anything rests with you, and the liability for any damage or loss of such items will be subject to any insurance purchased or in place by default with the carrier in question. If Level is responsible for arranging shipment of your items, and loss or damage of your items occurs for which we are responsible, we will reimburse you for such damage or loss based on the vale of your items up to a maximum of $300 per order.

X. Discounts and Credits

You are welcome to sign up for a Level Account, which may give you special access to certain Level Products and enrollment in our Rewards Program. As part of the Rewards Program, you will be eligible to earn Level Credits (“Credits”) that can be used towards purchase of any of our Products.  Any Credits in your account will appear at checkout, and can only be redeemed as part of a completed order on the Site. There are various ways to earn Credits, each of which will be communicated clearly once you are signed into your Account. Credits in your account will never expire.

If we determine that you have signed up for multiple accounts in order to accumulate additional Credits, we reserve the right to remove such additional credits and cancel your Account.

Level generally does not offer temporary discounts or special deals to the public. However, from time to time, we may offer special purchase terms on a very limited basis to persons, groups, or organizations with which we have a special business or philanthropic relationship.

You are allowed to use the Site only for your lawful personal use (or personal use on behalf of a third party). You may not use the Site to do or to facilitate any of the following things (or otherwise to violate any laws or legal rights of anyone else):

XIV. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides procedures for copyright owners to follow if they believe in good faith that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have such a good faith belief with respect to any content posted on the Site, you or your agent should contact Level in a writing clearly identified as a “Notification of Claimed Infringement.” That writing should describe the alleged infringement and request that the allegedly infringing content be removed (or that access to it be blocked). A “Notice of Claimed Infringement” must include the following information:

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been improperly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Level a counter-notice describing why you have that belief.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details.

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to [legal@levelframes.com]. We recommend that you obtain professional legal advice before filing a notice or counter-notice under the DMCA. The DMCA imposes penalties for false claims made under it.

XV. Disclaimers

Level is not responsible for any dispute or disagreement between you and any other person or entity with whom you may communicate or interact via or while using the Site. You assume all risk associated with dealing with such third parties. You release and shall hold harmless Level from and against all claims, injuries, demands, and exposures of any kind arising out of or relating to any such dispute or disagreement, and promise not to involve Level in such dispute.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (A) YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND (B) EXCEPT FOR OUR RETURNS AND REFUNDS POLICY, LEVEL (INCLUDING ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AND ADVISORS) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES AS TO THE SITE (AND PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AVAILABLE VIA THE SITE), IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

LEVEL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY GUARANTEES THAT THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR NEEDS, THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE NATURE, QUALITY, OR QUALITIES OF ANY PRODUCTS WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR NEEDS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW, LEVEL’s MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE OR YOUR USE OF LEVEL CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), WILL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE THAT YOU PAID FOR ANY PRODUCT(S) PURCHASED VIA THE SITE OR $50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

NOTE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS.

XVII. Dispute Resolution; Choice of Law; Mandatory Arbitration

We hope and expect that we will never have a dispute with you. If you have an issue with an order or any Products purchased, we can usually resolve it over email, online chat or phone. However, if a dispute, claim, or controversy arises out of or relating to these Terms (including an alleged breach or the termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof), the Site, or your purchase of Products or use of any service available via the Site, the following rules and procedures shall apply.

A. Informal Dispute Resolution. You and Level each agree that you will try in good faith to resolve such Dispute informally. If you wish to initiate this informal process, you should send a notice clearly marked “Notice of Dispute,” and containing a brief written statement setting forth your name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to your Dispute, and the relief you are seeking. You must send any such notice to Level at legal@levelframes.com. We will contact you via email at the address specified in any such notice or the physical address we have on file relating to any Product order you placed with us. You and Level agree to use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation, communication, and negotiations within thirty (30) days of your submission of such notice. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such submission, you or Level may resort to the procedures described in the remainder of this section. If we have a Dispute with you, we will follow the same process, except that we will initiate the process by sending the “Notice of Dispute” to you via email at the address specified in any such notice or the physical address we have on file relating to any Product order you placed with us.

B. Mandatory Arbitration. In the event that you and Level are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal discussions within thirty (30) days of the “Notice of Dispute” (as described above), we both agree to resolve such Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under “Exceptions” below, and unless you have opted-out of this agreement to arbitration by following the procedure described below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Site or the date on which you purchased a Level Product (whichever is later) by contacting support@levelframes.com in writing (including via email) clearly marked “Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate” that states that you decline this arbitration agreement.

If you do not opt out, you and Level each agree to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of any disputes arising out of or relating to your use of the Site under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

The arbitration shall be held in the United States county where you live or work, or in New York, NY, unless you and Level otherwise agree in writing. You may not, and you promise not to, initiate any legal action or proceeding against Level (including its employees, officers, agents, and advisors) in any other forum or location.

Level will pay all filing and arbitration fees for claims of less than $25,000 unless the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous or was brought in bad faith or for an improper purpose. You are responsible for any other costs that you may incur in connection with the arbitration, including but not limited to attorney's fees and expert witness costs, unless Level is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $25,000, the AAA Rules shall govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. You and Level agree not to seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous or was brought in bad faith or for an improper purpose.

You agree that you may resolve any Dispute with us only on an individual basis, and that you may not bring any claim or demand as a plaintiff of, or otherwise participate as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative action or proceeding. Further, unless you and Level otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class, consolidated or representative proceeding. You therefore acknowledge and understand that each of the following restrictions applies to any Dispute you have with Level (including its employees, officers, agents, and advisors) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, purchase of any Products, or these Terms:

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class, consolidated, or representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration may proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the Dispute will not be subject to arbitration and, other than small claims actions, must be brought in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York. You and Level each irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there and waive all objections to venue or personal jurisdiction there (except for objections based on failure of service of process). You and Level also each agree to waive our right to a jury trial in these circumstances.

C. Exceptions. Either you or Level may bring a lawsuit for injunctive relief to prevent and/or to stop (1) unauthorized use or abuse of the Site, (2) defamation, libel, or other false or misleading statements, or (3) any actual or threatened intellectual property infringement or unfair competition without first engaging in the informal dispute resolution and arbitration processes described above.

D. Choice of Law. These Terms and the relationship between you and Level shall in all cases be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference or recourse to its choice of law or conflicts of laws principles.

E. Terms Admissible as Business Records. A printed version of these Terms (including our [Privacy Policy]) and of any other communications between you and Level shall be fully admissible in any proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms, and shall be treated as a record maintained in the ordinary course of Level’s business.

XVIII. Your Feedback

We welcome your comments, suggestions, and ideas about the Site, but we have no obligation to review, agree with, or implement them. In addition, please understand that we retain sole and complete discretion to use, disclose, disseminate, publish, and publicly display anything you send us (including your ideas, suggestions, inventions or content) without paying or otherwise compensating you or anyone else. If you do not wish to grant us those rights, please do not send us anything without first contacting and discussing the matter with support@levelframes.com.

XIX. Our Right to Change or Update these Terms

We may review these Terms periodically to ensure that they comply with applicable law and remain consistent with our Products and operations. We therefore reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time without specific or direct notice to you. We intend to change the “Current Policy effective as of ___” date at the top of these Terms each time we revise these Terms, but please contact support@levelframes.com if you have questions about whether we have changed or updated any of the Terms or about which version of the Terms applies to you. You may wish review these Terms regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes or updates. Although it’s highly doubtful  we will ever have reason to do so, we reserve the right, in our sole and complete discretion, to terminate your access and ability to use the Site or a Level Account without notice or attendant liability. Upon termination, these Terms will still apply.

XX. Waiver and Severability

Our failure partially or fully to exercise any of our rights, or our waiver of any violation of these Terms, shall not prevent our later exercise of such right and shall not constitute or indicate our waiver of any subsequent breach. Our rights and remedies under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and us shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit our right to exercise any other right or remedy.Additionally, if any part or section of these Terms is determined to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, only that part or section will be severed. Such severing shall not affect the continuing validity and enforceability of the remaining parts or sections.

XXI. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Level with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications relating to the Site. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
