HBI Agreements are set forth at www.happiestbaby.com/pages/legal, and may be changed by HBI from time to time. Each of the HBI Agreements shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

If you do not accept this Agreement, including the HBI Agreements incorporated herein, you may not rent the Product.

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE WHICH WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT.

1. Rental Process.

(a) Your Rental. Your rental will include (i) 1 SNOO Smart Sleeper; (ii) 1 SNOO mattress and mattress cover; (iii) 1 fitted sheet; (iv) two SNOO Sacks (1 small and 1 medium); and (v) 1 set of the following SNOO accessories: 4 SNOO legs, a SNOO cloth dust bag, a power cord and adapter, and a power cable holder (collectively, the “Accessories”).

You must provide a valid credit or payment card that will remain on file through the Term of this Agreement. By providing your credit or payment card information, you agree that HBI is authorized to immediately charge your card (i) a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”); (ii) a reconditioning fee (the “Reconditioning Fee”); and (iii) the first month’s rent (plus all applicable taxes) in the amounts specified on the Website. The Product cannot be shipped until such charges have been approved by your credit or payment card issuer.

(b)(1) Milk Stork Participants Only: If you are a Milk Stork participant, this Section 1(b)(1) applies to you instead of Section 1(b). To receive the Product through the sponsored benefit program with Milk Stork, Inc. (“Milk Stork”), you must (i) place an order with Milk Stork via your sponsored Milk Stork portal; (ii) create an account on the Website using the same email address associated with your Milk Stork portal; (iii) be 18 years of age; (iv) provide a delivery address for the Product rental that is in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia; (v) provide a valid credit or payment card that will be used for a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) and remain on file through the Term of this Agreement to satisfy any additional fees that are incurred; and (vi) review this Agreement in full. 

Please note: You will be subject to a monthly Rental Fee if you fail to return the Product prior to the Sponsored Term expiration.

(c) Rental Order Processing. We may refuse to fulfill any rental order prior to delivery.  Your rental order may be refused due to, among other things, system or typographical errors, product availability, fairness among customers where supplies are limited or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if your order is rejected or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is rejected after we have processed your payment, but prior to delivery, we will initiate the refund of your payment within one business day of rejection in the same manner it was made.

(c)(1) Milk Stork Participants Only: If you are a Milk Stork participant, this Section 1(c)(1) applies to you instead of Section 1(c). If we are unable to deliver your order within ten (10) business days, we will promptly contact you with a status update. If the order cannot be delivered and must be cancelled, we will initiate the refund of your Security Deposit payment card within one business day of our cancellation notice in the same manner it was made. If the delivery cannot be completed within fifteen (15) business days, you may cancel your order, and we will initiate the refund of your Security Deposit payment within one business day of your cancellation notice in the same manner it was made.

(d) Rental Period. You will be renting the Product on a monthly basis. Your minimum rental period is one (1) month (the “Minimum Rental Period”). Your first rental period shall begin on the day on which the Product is delivered to your address (the “Delivery Date”) and will end at the end of the previous calendar day of the following month. Subsequent rental periods shall commence on the same calendar day of the month as your initial rental period. For example, if the carrier delivers your rented SNOO Smart Sleeper on February 18 for delivery to you, your initial rental period will start on February 18 and end on March 17. The following rental period will start on March 18 and end on April 17. The following exception shall apply: initial rental periods which commence on the last day of any given month will always end on the day before the last day of the subsequent month. For example, if the Delivery Date is February 28, your initial rental period will end on March 30 and the second rental period will run from March 31 through and including April 29. 

(d)(1) Milk Stork Participants Only: If you are a Milk Stork participant, this Section 1(d)(1) applies to you instead of Section 1(d). The Milk Stork rental term will commence on the date the Product is delivered to you and will end on the six (6) months anniversary of the delivery date (“Sponsored Term”). If you fail to return the Product by the end of the Sponsored Term, you will automatically begin renting the Product in your individual capacity on a month-to-month basis, beginning on the first day after expiration of the Sponsored Term (“Start Date”) and unless terminated earlier, ending on the date the Product is returned to HBI (“Individual Term”). Your minimum rental period during the Individual Term is one (1) month (“Minimum Rental Period”). The Sponsored Term and Individual Term are collectively referred to as the “Term.” 

During the Individual Term, your first month-to-month rental period shall begin on the Start Date and will end at the end of the previous calendar day of the following month. Subsequent rental periods shall commence on the same calendar day of the month as the Start Date. For example, if the Start Date falls on February 18, the first rental period will end on March 17.  The following rental period will start on March 18 and end on April 17. The following exception shall apply: initial rental periods which commence on the last day of any given month will always end on the day before the last day of the subsequent month.

If you fail to return the Product by the end of the Sponsored Term, you will automatically begin renting the Product in your individual capacity on a month-to-month basis, beginning on the first day after expiration of the Sponsored Term (“Start Date”) and unless terminated earlier, ending on the date the Product is returned to HBI (“Employee Term”). Your minimum rental period during the Employee Term is one (1) month (“Minimum Rental Period”). The Sponsored Term and Employee Term are collectively referred to as the “Term.” 

During the Employee Term, your first month-to- month rental period shall begin on the Start Date and will end at the end of the previous calendar day of the following month. Subsequent rental periods shall commence on the same calendar day of the month as the Start Date. For example, if the Start Date falls on February 18, the first rental period will end on March 17.  The following rental period will start on March 18 and end on April 17. The following exception shall apply: initial rental periods which commence on the last day of any given month will always end on the day before the last day of the subsequent month.

The Rental Fee for each subsequent rental period will be automatically charged in advance. The charges will typically occur on the calendar day corresponding to commencement of your rental period (the “Charge Date”), although some charges may be delayed for business, technical or legal reasons. By providing your credit or payment card information, you agree that HBI is authorized to charge your card the Rental Fee plus any applicable taxes on the Charge Date on a monthly recurring basis until you cancel.

If you want to use a credit or payment card different from the one you used to sign up, or if there is a change in your card validity or expiration date, you must update your credit or payment card information by logging in to your account on the Website and updating your payment details. If your credit or payment card expires and you do not update your payment information or terminate your rental as provided herein, you authorize us to continue billing you and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

In the event you fail to return the Product or Accessories at the end of the Term, you agree that the Replacement Cost owed in excess of the Security Deposit will be charged to your credit or payment card in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement. 

10.

15. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement and Waiver.

(a) Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution process consists of: (1) an informal negotiation with HBI’s customer service team; and, if the dispute remains unresolved, (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this section). The Consumer Arbitration Rules provide, among other things:

• Claims can be filed with AAA online at www.adr.org;
• Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
• Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
• Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
• The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
• The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
• The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

(b) Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and HBI each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. HBI will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact HBI’s customer service team by emailing rentalsupport@happiestbaby.com. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

(c) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and HBI agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your relationship with HBI or your use of the Product or any HBI’s services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and HBI agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

(d) Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and HBI each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights and (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).

(e) Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

(f) Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, HBI agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in Los Angeles County; (c) in any other location to which you and HBI both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

(g) Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and HBI agree that HBI will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, HBI agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA Rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

(h) Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

(i) Jury Trial Waiver. You and HBI acknowledge and agree that by accepting the Terms and Conditions, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes.

(j) No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and HBI acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all disputes between us. Further, unless you and HBI both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this Subsection is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.

(k) Severability. In the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

(l) Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if HBI changes this Section (“Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement and Waiver”) after the date you last accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to it), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date below. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and HBI in accordance with the provisions of this Section as of the date you last accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to it).
