UMA names, UMA logos, and the product names associated with the Products and Services are trademarks of UMA or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them. You agree that you will not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Products and Services.
11. Payment Terms
(a) Prices & Charges. You understand that: (a) the prices displayed through the Products and Services may differ from the prices offered or published by other companies for the same item and/or from prices offered by third-party websites and that such prices may not be the lowest prices at which the items are sold; (b) UMA has no obligation to itemize its costs, profits or margins when publishing such prices; and (c) UMA reserves the right to change such prices at any time, at its discretion. You are liable for all transaction taxes on the Products and Services provided under this Agreement. In the event that the charge to your payment method may incorrectly differ from the total amount, including subtotals and fees, displayed to you at checkout, UMA reserves the right to make an additional charge to your payment method after the initial charge so that the total amount charged is consistent with the total amount displayed to you at checkout. All payments will be processed by UMA or its payments processor, using the preferred payment method designated in your account. If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details or details from other cards on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your Use of the Products and Services. If you would like to use a different payment method or if there is a change in payment method, please update your billing information.
(b) No Refunds. Charges paid by you for completed and delivered orders are final and non-refundable. UMA has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them, in each case in UMA’s sole discretion.
(c) Promotional Offers and Credits. UMA, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any User. These promotional offers are subject to the terms of this Agreement and may be valid only for certain Users as indicated in the offer. You agree that promotional offers: (i) may only be used by the intended audience, for the intended purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public, unless expressly permitted by UMA; (iii) are subject to the specific terms that UMA establishes for such promotional offer; (iv) cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; and (v) are not valid for use after the date indicated in the offer or in this Agreement. UMA reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or benefits obtained through a promotion in the event that UMA determines or believes that the redemption of the promotion or receipt of the credit or benefit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotion terms or this Agreement. UMA reserves the right to modify or cancel an offer at any time. You agree that we may change UMA’s promotional offers at any time. UMA may also offer gratuitous credits, which can be used for the Products and Services. Any credit issued by UMA is valid for 6 months from the date of issue except to the extent prohibited under applicable law and may not be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent. Upon expiration, credits will be removed from your account. Expired credits are no longer redeemable and cannot be used towards any order.
(d) Fees for Products and Services. UMA may change the fees for our Products and Services as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business, including but not limited to shipping and handling fees.
(e) Gift Cards. Gift Cards may be redeemable towards eligible orders placed on www.umaoils.com. Gift Cards are not redeemable for cash except when required by applicable law.
(f) Items in your shopping cart will reflect the most recent price displayed on the item’s product detail page. Prices are frequently updated to adjust for different sales, limited pricing, and other discounting. Therefore, prices on the product detail page and in your cart may change after such updates to reflect the current prices. Placing items in your cart does not reserve the current prices shown at that time, and prices are reserved only by placing an order. From time to time, despite our efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. Please note that such errors or inaccuracies may be related to product descriptions, pricing and availability. In the event of a pricing error, UMA will take one of the following options: (i) If an item’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item; or (ii) if an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you are not satisfied with your purchase due to any errors or inaccuracies, you may return it in accordance with our return procedure [https://www.umaoils.com/faq/]. Discounts are limited-time offers and are not valid with other offers. For shipping, cancellation, and other ordering questions, please contact our customer service representatives at contact@umaoils.com or at 424.279.3131
12. Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH UMA AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to the Products and Services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding UMA or the Products and Services, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with UMA as a User of our Products and Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.
CASES MAY HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST UMA—AND OTHERS MAY BE FILED IN THE FUTURE—THAT ATTEMPT TO ASSERT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, AND BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT YOU ELECT NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH CASES.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH UMA, YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST UMA IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
(b) Informal Resolution. You and UMA agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and UMA therefore agree that, before either you or UMA demands arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this Arbitration Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of its, his, or her intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 30 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify UMA that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email general@umaoils.com, providing your name, telephone number, the email address associated with your UMA account or UMA order, and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party’s claims. Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) in all respects. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to paragraph 12(b). The arbitration will be conducted by ADR Services, Inc. under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Arbitration demands filed with ADR Services, Inc. must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars; and (4) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. Disputes shall be subject to ADR Services, Inc.’s most current version of its Arbitration Rules, available as of December 1, 2021 at https://www.adrservices.com/services/arbitration-rules or by calling ADR Services, Inc. at 310-201-0010. The fees that shall apply to arbitrations administered by ADR Services, Inc. are set forth on ADR Services, Inc.’s website, available as of December 1, 2021 at https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. Specifically, the fees set forth in ADR Services, Inc.’s Mass Consumer Arbitration Fee Schedule shall apply when twenty (20) or more arbitration claims are filed which: (1) involve the same or similar parties; (2) are based on the same or similar claims which arise from the same or substantially identical transactions, incidents, or events requiring the determination of the same or substantially identical questions of law or fact; and (3) involve the same or coordinated counsel for the parties. In all other circumstances, the fees set forth in ADR Services, Inc.’s General Fee Schedule shall apply, except that UMA will pay the portion of the initial case opening fees (if any) that exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by ADR Services, Inc.’s rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay ADR Services, Inc.’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from ADR Services, Inc., UMA will pay them for you. If ADR Services, Inc. is not available to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum.
(d) Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and UMA. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and UMA.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND UMA WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
(f) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU AND UMA AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor UMA is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court. This provision does not prevent you or UMA from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
(g) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with UMA.
(h) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if UMA makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to UMA.
13. Third-Party Interactions.
- The Products and Services may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and applications (“Third-Party Applications”) and advertisements (“Third-Party Advertisements”) (collectively, “Third-Party Websites & Advertisements”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party Website, Third-Party Application or Third-Party Advertisement, UMA will not warn you that you have left UMA’s website or Products and Services and will not warn you that you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites & Advertisements are not under the control of UMA. UMA is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications or any Third-Party Advertisements. UMA does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such Third-Party Websites & Advertisements, or their products or services. You use all links in Third-Party Websites & Advertisements at your own risk. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices of any Third-Party Websites or Third-Party Applications, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless UMA and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any losses, claims, actions, costs, damages, penalties, fines and expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may be incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) your User Content; (b) your misuse of the Products and Services; (c) your breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations through or related to the use of the Products and Services. In the event of any claim, allegation, suit or proceeding alleging any matter potentially covered by the agreements in this Section, you agree to pay for the defense of the Indemnified Party, including reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party. UMA reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with UMA in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party, or for such party’s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Products and Services. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your account, this Agreement, or your access to the Products and Services.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF LAW, YOUR USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. CHANGES ARE PERIODICALLY MADE TO THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU.

UMA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES AND OTHER HARMFUL MALWARE.

16. Breach And Limitation of Liability
(a) General. You understand and agree that a key element of the Products and Services and this Agreement is your and our mutual desire to keep the Products and Services simple and efficient, and to provide the Products and Services at the lowest possible cost. You understand and agree to the limitations on remedies and liabilities set forth in this Section 16 to keep the Products and Services simple and efficient, and costs low, for all Users.
(b) Cap on Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if a product you purchase does not match the description or is unsatisfactory or defective in any way, as your sole and exclusive remedy you may return the product, unused, to UMA and receive a refund of your purchase price.
(c) Disclaimer of Certain Damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF LAW, UMA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, LOST PROFITS, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, USE AND ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE). THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF PUNITIVE AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, AND THE ENTIRE DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR FOR ANY INJURY CAUSED BY UMA’S FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, SHALL NOT APPLY TO USERS WHO RESIDE IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
17. Exclusive Venue
To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and UMA agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
18. Termination
If you violate this Agreement, UMA may respond based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the egregiousness of your actions and whether a pattern of harmful behavior exists.
In addition, at its sole discretion, UMA may modify or discontinue the Products and Service, or may modify, suspend or terminate your access to the Products and Services, for any reason, with or without notice to you and without liability to you or any third party. In addition to suspending or terminating your access to the Products and Service, UMA reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, pursuing civil, criminal or injunctive redress. Even after your right to use the Products and Services is terminated, this Agreement will remain enforceable against you. All provisions which by their nature should survive to give effect to those provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
19. Privacy Policy
Your privacy and security are important to us. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will use and protect the personal information you provide us. We will not share your personal information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. We do reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU.
1.1 Personal Information vs. Non Personal Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with an efficient and helpful experience while using Products and Services. In order to do so, we may collect two types of information about you, Personal Information and Non Personal Information. “Personal Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics as to who you are and which can be used to identify, contact or locate you. We may also collect and use Personal Information to verify your identity when you are making purchases. Examples of Personal Information include your first name together with your last name, your credit card number, your mailing address and/or email address, and your phone number. Generally, we collect Personal Information when you use the Products and Services to make product purchases, fill out surveys, correspond with us, choose to submit testimonials, stories, photos or the like, or otherwise volunteer information about yourself. “Non Personal Information” refers to information that does not by itself identify you or a specific individual. Examples of Non Personal Information we may collect include demographic information, which web pages of ours are most often visited and which of our products are either receiving the most purchases or website visits. We may collect Non Personal Information through any of the methods discussed above as well as automatically through use of industry standard technologies discussed further below.
1.2 Access and Change to Personal Information.
