We will present you with shipping charges at checkout. To the extent applicable, you are responsible for all foreign taxes and duties on your shipment.
Sales. Contingent upon availability or other cause for declining your purchase order, your credit card account or payment method may be charged upon submission of any order or at shipment, regardless of such order’s content. Applicable taxes, if any, may be added to your order, depending on your location of shipment or the type of products you purchase.
If your order has been cancelled or declined for any reason, either before or after acceptance, igourmet will make reasonable efforts to contact you to inform you of its cancellation or non-acceptance.

Igourmet may decline an order, for any reason or no reason, and subject to a refund, may cancel an accepted order at any time.

You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or any Goods or service provided by igourmet, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: igourmet, LLC 3212 NW 64TH ST, Boca Raton, FL 33496.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Arbitration shall take place in Palm Beach Count, Florida.
You and igourmet agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and igourmet agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that igourmet may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Equitable Remedies. You also agree that igourmet would be irreparably damaged if you violate the terms of this Agreement, Therefore, you agree that igourmet shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
To the extent the arbitration provision should be ruled inapplicable, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, or to igourmet, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in Palm Beach County, Florida. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN FLORIDA. In any such proceeding, you agree that service may be made upon you via email at your email address that we then have on-file.
