The shipment of Products, as applicable, to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes, unless you cancel your subscription(s) in accordance with the cancellation policies set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, as applicable.

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Generally, shipping is handled by a third party courier. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a Product for export.

This means that title to and the risk of loss of such Products passes to you upon our delivery of the Product to the third party courier.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door or in your mailbox. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery.

In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, we will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably possible. In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery date. In the event that timely delivery of your Order is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that delivery.

1. Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing us (info@paragonvitamins.com).

In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, we each agree that any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, arising out of, or relating in any way to this agreement, or the contractual relationship established by this agreement (whether in contract, tort, or under any statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other source of law) shall be resolved on an individual basis through binding arbitration administered by the Canadian Arbitration Association, in accordance with the Canadian Arbitration Association rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (accessible at https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/) (except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify). You and Paragon each expressly waive any right to trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. Neither you nor Paragon shall be permitted or entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against others, or arbitrate or otherwise participate in any claims as a class member, class representative, or in any other representative capacity.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the county or parish in which you reside, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including (but not limited to) issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate and the arbitrability of any dispute between you and Paragon. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by law. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone, and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, with or without oral hearings. Paragon agrees that, upon request, it will pay a consumer’s filing fee for the arbitration.

For the benefit of the parties, all aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including (but not limited to) the transcripts of the hearing, the transcript of any deposition, and all documents produced or used during the arbitration proceeding, will be strictly confidential.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. If a court decides that any provision of this paragraph is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the other parts of this paragraph (and the remainder of these terms) will continue to apply, but in no case shall either you or Paragon be permitted to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration..

1. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Paragon relating to your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of Products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Paragon. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Paragon’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
