SUBSCRIPTION CONTRACT

A “Contract” is formed between ACC and you once a purchase has been executed for one of our membership services. The Contract will remain in place until it is canceled by the individual or ACC. Our obligation under this agreement is to issue the subscription to you under the agreement. We are responsible for you receiving the desired services and goods each month to an acceptable quality.

WHAT WE SELL AND WHAT WE DON’T SELL

ANY ALCOHOL INCLUDED IN A KIT ORDERED THROUGH THE SITE IS BEING SOLD TO YOU FROM A THIRD PARTY LIQUOR MERCHANT.  ACC DOES NOT SELL ALCOHOL. ACC ONLY PROCESSES ORDERS FOR ALCOHOL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY ALCOHOL INCLUDED IN A KIT PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE IS BEING PURCHASED BY YOU FROM THE THIRD PARTY LIQUOR MERCHANT AND IS NOT BEING PURCHASED FROM ACC.

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

Each subscription is delivered to the customer-designated location. Each subscription initiation and subsequent shipment is confirmed by email to the customer. By selecting a subscription plan you agree to pay ACC the monthly subscription fees for the service and additional usage fees indicated for that subscription. Our subscription packages will auto-renew every month at the price originally agreed to unless canceled. You may cancel your subscription at any time. Subscriptions canceled before the 1st of any month will not be charged. Subscriptions canceled after the 1st will take effect the following month. Payment for Services will be made by a valid credit card accepted by ACC, unless other payment arrangements have been made. You hereby authorize ACC to charge your credit card for such amounts according to your subscription.

ORDERING AND DELIVERY

When you sign up to become a monthly Subscriber, your subscription will automatically renew until you cancel it. This means that you subscribe to order, pay for and receive shipments of cocktail boxes from ACC and order, pay for and receive shipments of alcohol from Retail Licensee. You can skip an order and delivery or cancel your membership at any time. Please visit the LogIn section of the Website on instructions on how to do so. Please be aware, however, that because we and our Retail Licensee plan, purchase, and prepare our cocktails in advance, both the skipping service and cancellation request require advanced notice to ACC, as set forth more specifically on the Website. If you miss these deadlines, you will be responsible for paying the applicable amount, and the cancellation will take effect on the next shipment.
To maintain the highest quality and integrity of the cocktail ingredients after delivery, we recommend that you immediately refrigerate the non-alcoholic items when you receive them. If you are not home when a delivery arrives, our delivery service will leave the package with an adult over 21 years of age with proper identification who is willing to accept the package on your behalf.
If no recipient over 21 years of age with proper identification is available to accept the package on your behalf, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact you and reschedule the delivery (in which case our standard redelivery fee shall apply). If we are unable to reschedule the order for any reason, both of your orders, for your ACC non-alcohol ingredients and for your purchase of liquor from our Retail Licensee, will be canceled and your money will be refunded, less the applicable re-stocking fees for the orders and the redelivery fee.
Anyone over 21 years of age with proper identification at the delivery address who receives the delivery is conclusively presumed to be authorized to receive the delivery. In the case of inclement weather, we will deliver your order as soon as reasonably possible when the conditions permit.

(a/k/a JAMS) or its successor ("JAMS") for the resolution thereof, and such arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving the Disputes: this Agreement; the additional terms, conditions, and policies referenced herein (including, without limitation, the Site’s and the App’s Privacy Policy); your access or use of the Site; your transactions on, through or in relation to the Site; your purchase or use of any products or services offered, sold, marketed or provided on, through or in relation to the Site; all information disclosed or received on, through or in relation to the Site; all content found on, through or in relation to the Site; all information, communications and statements made on, through or in relation to the Site (including, without limitation, your express consent to ACC sending or otherwise communicating with you via any electronic means or forms, e.g., e-mail, telephone, text message); and/or the Parties’ relationship.

The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator under the then-current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"), as supplemented by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence if and where applicable as a gap-filler. If there is any conflict between a provision of the JAMS Rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, or this Agreement, then the conflicting provision of this Agreement shall control and govern over the JAMS Rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence; and the JAMS Rules shall control and govern over the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence.

The arbitrator may construe or interpret, but shall not vary or ignore, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be bound by applicable law.

 

Arbitration Decisions and Awards. The arbitrator shall render a written final decision on the subject Dispute as soon as practicable and in any event not more than forty-five (45) days after the close of evidence and briefing. The arbitrator’s decision shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law setting forth the basis for his/her decision. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, unless such an award is authorized by applicable law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney fees and expenses if such an award is permitted under this Agreement or applicable law. Subject to any applicable rights of appeal, the final decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon all of the Parties who have been served with proper written notice of the arbitration proceeding as required by this section 23. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed in any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof that is located in the State of South Carolina, and may be entered in and enforced by any domestic, foreign, or international court having appropriate subject matter jurisdiction. Any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitrator and any information disclosed in the course of any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential by the Parties, and any court order to enforce the decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitrator shall be filed under seal.

 

Arbitration Fees and Expenses. JAMS’s administrative and filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses and all other fees and expenses charged by JAMS and/or the arbitrator to administer or conduct the arbitration shall be shared equally among all parties to the arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party of the arbitration may recover an award of its share of such fees and expenses if such an award is permitted under this Agreement or applicable law.

 

Litigation; Waiver. In the event a particular Dispute is not subject to arbitration (whether by decision of an arbitrator with binding authority, or otherwise according to this Agreement or applicable law), each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of the State of South Carolina in Charleston County, United States of America and the United States federal courts in South Carolina, for the litigation of said Dispute, and covenant and agree that neither of the foregoing is an inconvenient venue or forum.

 

Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action. Regardless of whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration or litigation, each Party does hereby waive his/her/its right to a trial by jury, to participate as the member of a class in any purported class action or other proceeding or to name unnamed members in any purported class action or other proceedings.
