Design Services; Accounts and Registration.

RoomSecret provides an online platform that helps homeowners, remodelers, and renters in bringing high-end interior design into their living spaces without the time commitment and expensive design fees associated with traditional interior designers. RoomSecret’s team of interior designers has hand-picked beautiful spaces, organized by room (a “Room”), consisting of stylized home décor elements including furniture, rugs, walls, artwork, and window treatments. Users on the Site can purchase the design service to gain access to one or more Rooms of their choice. Once a user has accessed a Room, they can use the Site to purchase the items in the Room. Subject to item availability, users can purchase all, some, or none of the items in the Room.

As more fully described on the Site, RoomSecret offers the following services (the “Services”):

Presents users with curated and stylized Rooms that users can access using the design Services.
Allows design service customers to purchase all or any of the home décor elements presented in the Rooms by submitting an order online via the Site.
After receipt of a user order submitted via the Site, RoomSecret will prepare a customer invoice including the total price, including tax and shipping costs, for the ordered items and will arrange for shipping and delivery of the purchased items from the manufacturer to the purchaser.
Provide design Services customers with interior design consultation and support services via RoomSecret design associates. Consultations with RoomSecret design associates can be scheduled on the Site.

To receive the design Services, you must set up an account on the Site. When you register for the Services, you will be asked to provide certain registration details such as your name and address. By providing any information about yourself, you represent and warrant that all the information you provide via the Services is accurate, current and complete. You agree that all information you provide to us, whether as part of your registration or through the Services or otherwise, including through the use of any interactive features of the Services, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services or any portion thereof in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason the Services or any portion are unavailable at any time or for any period. You are responsible for (i) making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services (e.g., providing your own equipment and internet connection and paying any internet access fees) and (ii) ensuring that all persons who access the Services through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and comply with them.

While RoomSecret has made reasonable efforts to portray recommended products and their colors and materials in the most accurate way on the Site, the displayed colors of the products will depend upon the monitor of the user and cannot be guaranteed by RoomSecret as an accurate portrayal of the actual color or material of the product.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password or any other piece of account information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and not transferable to any other person or entity. You agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of it in any manner, including by providing your user name, password or other security information to another person or entity. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any user name, password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms.

Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.

Availability. At roomsecret.com we go out of our way to create the kind of distinctive interior design spaces for which our aesthetic is recognized. Please understand that many of our featured items are offered in limited quantities and for limited periods of time and, because of their limited availability, stock may not be refreshed. That means once an item is gone; it may be gone for good. While the availability of merchandise on the Site may change at any time without notice to you, when an item featured on roomsecret.com is no longer in stock, we use reasonable efforts to remove that item from the Website in a timely manner. Should you have any questions concerning the availability of a particular item, please contact us at [email protected].
Indemnification. You agree to indemnity, defend, and hold harmless roomsecret.com, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (collectively the “Service Providers”) from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these terms and conditions or any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the site using your internet account.

Force Majeure. We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in our performance under these Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.

Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration.
1. YOU AND GARDEN DESIGNS LLC ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

1. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 15. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

1. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR GARDEN DESIGNS LLC WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

Assignment. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 16 is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.
No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Garden Designs LLC.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you.
Notices.
1. To You. We may provide any notice to you under these Terms by: (i) sending a message to the email address you provide or (ii) by posting to the Site. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current.
2. To Us. To give us notice under these Terms, you must contact us at [email protected]. We may update the address for notices to us by posting a notice on the Site. Notices will be effective one business day after they are sent.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms.
Entire Agreement. Our order confirmation, these Terms, the license agreement relating to any product or service you obtain on or through this Site, our Website Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy will be deemed the final and integrated agreement between you and us on the matters contained in these Terms.
