Privacy

We respect your privacy and encourage you to read our Privacy Policy to understand our practices so that you may make an informed decision about accessing and using the Services. Any information you provide will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You understand that through your use of the Services, you consent to the collection and use of this information, including the transfer of this information for storage, processing, and use by GRIPeq and its affiliates.

Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site is our proprietary property, and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the Site (collectively, the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”) are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.

The Content and the Marks are provided on the Site “AS IS” for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, no part of the Site and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

Provided that you are eligible to use the Site, you are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

When you visit and/or use the Services or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically. You agree that all communications (including, but not limited to, all notices, agreements, and disclosures) provided to you electronically by GRIPeq satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

By signing up for our mailing list, you opt-in to receive information and news, special offers, and marketing and communication emails. You may unsubscribe from these emails by following the opt-out instructions in these emails or by emailing us at makeflight@grip-eq.com.

Purchase Terms

When making any purchases or through the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, as well as any additional terms that may apply which are presented to you when making a purchase.

You represent that you are legally capable of entering into contracts. You agree to immediately pay for any and all products and services you purchase on or through the Services. Payment is required before products or services are delivered or made available for delivery to you. You may not use products available on or through the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Services, violate any laws in your jurisdiction.

We may use third-party payment processors and other third-party vendors to process or facilitate purchases made on or through the Services. Payment methods recognized by GRIPeq for particular items will be listed in the online cart, and only payment methods recognized by GRIPeq will be accepted. If you elect to use, or are required to use, the services of a third-party provider in connection with your purchase from us, your use of such services will be subject to the third-party provider’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy. You may be required to create an account with such third-party provider and provide that third-party provider with your bank account or credit/debit card details. GRIPeq is not responsible for, and you agree to hold us harmless from and against, any liability resulting from the acts or omissions of any such third-party provider. Any dealings with third parties included within or on the Services involving the delivery of any payment for goods and services are solely between you and that third party. We are neither responsible nor liable for any part of such dealings. All customer service inquiries and disputes related to purchases made through the Services are the responsibility of such third-party vendors, not GRIPeq.

We have taken reasonable precautions to try to ensure that prices quoted on the Services are correct and that all products have been fairly described. However, when ordering products through the Services, please note that orders will only be accepted if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or services or their prices as advertised on the Services, including, but not limited to, the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical or other error. 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. All prices are displayed in United States Dollars unless expressly indicated otherwise. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our products and services in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. All items are subject to availability, and we will inform you as soon as possible if the product(s) or service(s) you have ordered are not available.

GRIPeq does not warrant that product descriptions or other Content are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.  We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors, packaging, and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any color will be accurate. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services we offer. Any offer for any product or service made on the Services is void where prohibited.

If you do not receive a confirmation (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether or not your order has been placed by contacting us. Only you may be aware of any problems during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation. You will be notified via e-mail when your order has been shipped.

All items purchased from GRIPeq are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

We process and ship orders as quickly as possible, typically within 24-48 hours of receiving an order, Monday through Friday. We do not ship on the weekends or certain designated holidays. Modification or cancellation of orders can be made until your order is delivered to the shipment carrier. After that time, any shipping fees already processed will be non-refundable, and any additional charges incurred due to the changes will be billed to you. For more information, please review our Shipping Policy.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate information when making a purchase or using the Services so that we can process and complete your order and contact you if needed. You are liable for any costs associated with inaccurate information.

Please review our Returns Policy and Warranty Policy.

Comment, Feedback, and Suggestions

All comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, and other submissions, that you disclose, submit, or offer to us in connection with your use of the Services, including but not limited to your suggestions regarding improvements that we make to the Services (collectively, “Comments”), will become our exclusive property.

You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the reviews, comments, and other content you post on the Services and that use of your reviews, comments, or other content by us will not infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party. You shall not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any comments or content posted.

We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Site. 

We cannot guarantee the Site will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Site, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. You agree that we have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Site during any downtime or discontinuance of the Site. 

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall GRIPeq or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, together with their respective directors, officers, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, be liable for any direct, incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind, including without limitation: (a) lost revenues or profits, (b) loss of business or loss of data, or (c) loss or damage to any computer, mobile phone, or other device that is in any way related to the Services, the Content (including websites linked to the Services and the content, goods or services provided thereon), or your use of or access to the Services, including without limitation loss or injury based on errors, omissions, interruptions, other inaccuracies in the Services or any decisions made or actions taken by you in reliance upon the information within or content of the Services. We shall not be liable for your inability to use or access the Services, or any Content or other materials contained therein, for any computer virus relayed through the Services, for any delay or malfunction of the Services, or any other claim arising out of your use of the Services, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, even if GRIPeq has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The Services and all Content, products, and services contained on or available through the Services, and all links or other items related to it, are transmitted and distributed “as is” and without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, that the services, its features, and functions, will be available for use or work as described. There are no warranties for the Services, the Content, products, and materials contained hereon, including but not limited to no warranties regarding title, security, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use. All information contained within the Services is subject to amendment, revision, or updating without notice. GRIPeq does not promise that the Services, or any portion thereof, will be error-free or uninterrupted, that any defects will be corrected, or that your use of the Services will provide specific results. GRIPeq does not ensure that the services will be free of viruses or other destructive features. GRIPeq makes no representations about the content’s accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness on the Services or any linked sites. We are not responsible for damage or loss caused by errors in the Services, content on the Services, linked sites, or the internet. You assume total responsibility for using the Services and any linked sites. Your sole remedy against GRIPeq for dissatisfaction with the Services is to stop using the Services.

Under no circumstances, will GRIPeq be liable to you or to any person or entity claiming through you for any loss, injury, liability, or damages arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on any of our services or any content, product, or service provided to you through or in connection with any of our services. This is a comprehensive limitation of liability that applies to all losses and damages of any kind whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, general, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, loss of data, goodwill, revenue, or profits. This limitation of liability applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, negligence, tort, strict liability, or any other basis, even if GRIPeq has been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, and without regard to the success or effectiveness of other remedies. If any part of this limitation of liability is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, then the aggregate liability of GRIPeq under such circumstances to you or any person or entity claiming through you for liabilities that otherwise would have been limited will not exceed one hundred US dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of the above disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability may not apply to you.

You acknowledge that you may have or may in the future have claims against us that you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor when you agreed to these terms and which, if known, might materially affect your consent to these terms. 

No communications between you and us or our representatives shall constitute a waiver of any limitations of liability hereunder or create any additional warranty not expressly stated in these terms.

Certain jurisdictions prohibit the limitation of liability for certain types of damages, and accordingly, such limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, GRIPeq’s liability is limited to the greatest extent allowable under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GRIPeq, its parent, subsidiary, and affiliated entities, and each of their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or in connection with: (i) your use of the Services, including without limitation all Content and products available on or through the Services; or (ii) any violation by you of these Terms or your violation of any law, regulation, or third party right. You agree that your representations and warranties, and your obligation to indemnify GRIPeq, shall survive beyond any term that these Terms are in effect.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the United States of America and specifically by the laws of Kansas.

Dispute Resolution

Subject to the below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services shall be determined by mandatory binding arbitration. You and GRIPeq are each waiving your right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class or multiparty action.

Any arbitration must commence by filing a demand for arbitration within one (1) year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim. There shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within the one (1) year time period.

Any claims seeking to enforce, protect, or determine the validity or ownership of any intellectual property rights and any claims related to allegations of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of the Services are NOT subject to mandatory arbitration. At GRIPeq’s option, these claims may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Kansas, and you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
