1. Certain Definitions.
“Affiliate” means, as to a party, any other entity that directly or indirectly controls, is under common control with, or is controlled by, such party; as used in this definition, “control” and its derivatives mean possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct the management or policies of an entity.

A selection or combination of information will not meet any of the foregoing exceptions solely because some or all of its individual component parts are so excepted and will meet such exception(s) only if the selection or combination itself is so excepted. In the event of any ambiguity as to whether information is Confidential Information, the foregoing shall be interpreted strictly and there shall be a rebuttable presumption that such information is Confidential Information.
“Documentation” means all documentation (whether printed or in an electronic retrieval format) supplied or made available to User by Snoyer for use with or in support of the Platform or its implementation, including without limitation any and all revisions, modifications, and updates thereof as may be supplied or made available by Snoyer to User during the Term of this Agreement and all copies thereof made by or on behalf of User.

3. Sale of Goods. Snoyer shall sell to User and User shall purchase from Snoyer the Goods in the quantities and at the prices and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(a) Order Acceptance. The Platform only solicits offers to buy Goods and Services and is not an offer to sell. An order placed through the Platform by User is User’s offer to buy, under this Agreement, all Goods and Services listed in the order. Snoyer will not be obligated to sell the Goods or Services to User unless and until Snoyer accepts the order. Snoyer may choose not to accept any orders in its sole discretion. Snoyer will send User a confirmation email with the details of the items ordered after Snoyer’s acceptance. Acceptance of User’s order and the formation of the contract of sale between Snoyer and User will not take place unless and until Snoyer transmits and User receives the order confirmation email.
(b) Delivery. Snoyer shall deliver the Goods to the address specified by User on the Platform (the “Delivery Point”) using Snoyer’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. If for any reason User fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods at the Delivery Point, or if Snoyer is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point because User has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to User, (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Snoyer, at its option, may store the Goods until User picks them up, whereupon User shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
(c) Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to User upon delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Point. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.
(d) Price. Snoyer will sell and User will purchase the Goods from Snoyer at the price set forth on the Site or Platform, or at the price as otherwise may be provided by Snoyer in response to a request for a quote (the “Price”). All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by User. User shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, User shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Snoyer’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets. All Prices posted on the Site are subject to change without notice. The Price charged for a Good or Service will be the Price in effect at the time the order is accepted and set out in the order confirmation email. Price increases may apply to orders placed after such changes. IN THE EVENT OF A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR RELATING TO PRICE, CHARACTERISTICS OR QUANTITY OF AN ITEM FEATURED OR DESCRIBED ON THE PLATFORM, SNOYER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO FILL ALL OR ANY PART OF ORDER(S) THAT RELY ON SUCH TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. ALL GOOD PRICES AND SERVICES LISTED ON THE PLATFORM ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY, PRIOR SALE, AND QUANTITY LIMITATIONS.
(e) Payment Terms. Terms of payment are within Snoyer’s sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by Snoyer in writing, payment must be received by Snoyer before its acceptance of an order. Snoyer will refund payments made for orders not accepted. Snoyer accepts payment on the Platform via credit card or debit card. Snoyer also accepts payment via purchase order for Users pre-qualified by Snoyer. Invoices may be paid by check or credit or debit card and shall be paid within 15 days of delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Point. Snoyer reserves the right to require cash at acceptance or in advance of delivery. User shall pay late fees on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
(f) Returns. Snoyer accepts returns and will refund payment if a User is disappointed by Goods for one of the following reasons: (i) the blank stock items are materially flawed; (ii) the quality of the decorating (i.e., the printing) is below a reasonable range of expectations; or (iii) the design of the final product is materially different from the final design submitted by the User.
(g) Specifications. Snoyer is responsible for acting only on those instructions actually received by Snoyer and does not assume responsibility for communications malfunctions or misdirected instructions that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of any orders User submits. Although Snoyer has made reasonable efforts to display its products and their colors, textures and appearance as accurately as possible, the displayed attributes of the Products depend upon the monitor of the user, and Snoyer cannot guarantee that the User’s monitor will accurately portray the actual attributes of the products. Snoyer does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of customer product ratings, comments or feedback.

The non-breaching party shall give the breaching party notice describing the breach and stating the time, as provided herein, within which the breach must be cured. If a provision of this Agreement sets forth a cure period for the breach in question, then that provision shall take precedence over any cure period set forth in this paragraph. No cure period shall be required, except as may be provided otherwise in this Agreement, if this Agreement sets forth specific deadline dates for the obligation allegedly breached. If the breach is of an obligation to pay money, the breaching party shall have five business days to cure the breach after the non-breaching party transmits notice of the breach. If the breach is a material breach of an obligation relating to the other party’s Confidential Information, including User’s use or disclosure of the Platform other than in compliance with the license granted in this Agreement, then the non-breaching party, in its sole discretion, may specify in the notice of breach that no cure period will be permitted.

Termination of this Agreement by Snoyer for breach by User shall terminate all licenses granted to User herein. This Agreement and the licenses granted to User herein shall terminate automatically, to the extent permitted by applicable law in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in question, if User makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, files a petition for bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or other like proceeding under any present or future debtor relief law (or is the subject of an involuntary such petition or filing that is not dismissed within 60 days after the effective filing date thereof), or admits of a general inability to pay its debts as they become due. Any termination of this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Disposition of User Data. Upon User’s written request within 30 days following the expiration or any termination of this Agreement, Snoyer shall destroy the User Data; provided, however, that to the extent Snoyer is required by applicable law or legal process to retain any portion of the User Data, or to the extent that destruction of any User Data is infeasible or is inconsistent with Snoyer’s operations or needs, Snoyer shall retain such User Data as though it were Confidential Information for such time as is required by such law or process or until destruction is no longer infeasible, after which Snoyer promptly shall destroy the User Data. The sole and exclusive remedy for User if Snoyer fails to destroy the User Data as required in this paragraph is an action to compel Snoyer to destroy the User Data.
