MyAleph Sites may contain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, at the time they were made, were based on then-current expectations of future events. If any of those underlying assumptions prove or have proven to be inaccurate or unknown or if risks or uncertainties materialize or have materialized, actual results could vary or already may have varied materially from MyAleph expectations and projections in these statements.
These risks and uncertainties include general industry conditions and competition: economic conditions such as interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, technological advances and patents attained by competitors, challenges inherent in new product development including obtaining regulatory approvals, domestic and foreign health care reforms and governmental laws and regulations and trends toward health care cost containment. MyAleph assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
11. Payments; Ordering; and Billing.
11.1 In order to process your purchase on the Site (the “Order”) placed through the Site, you must select the Product you wish to buy and click the “Add to Shopping Bag” button. The selected Product(s) will then be included in the “Shopping Bag” and the Order can be placed by filling out the Order form and affirmatively accepting this Agreement. Prior to submitting the Order, you are required to verify the accuracy of the information provided and make the necessary corrections. The Order is submitted when you click the “Place Order” button. After placing an Order, within twenty-four (24) hours, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation from us acknowledging that we have received your Order. Please note that clicking the “Place Order” button does not mean that your Order has been accepted, the purchase completed, and/or that the Product is available. Your Order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product which may not be accepted. Upon receipt, the Order will be submitted to MyAleph for processing and may not be changed or canceled by you except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable law. All Orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you a second e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched and which contains the relevant tracking number (the “Order Confirmation”). The Order Confirmation will also list each Product being dispatched and the final price (inclusive of taxes, shipping, and handling charges). MyAleph files for its own records evidence of all transactions between MyAleph and its customers. Download and file for your own records this Agreement and the Order Confirmation. In the event of a dispute between MyAleph and you relating to a transaction conducted on the Site, you agree that the data recorded by MyAleph shall be treated as evidence of the details of the transaction.
11.2 An Account will be automatically created upon the purchase of the Product. You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date payment information at the time you order any Product. We have contracted with a third-party payment processor to facilitate purchases made on the Site. When you make a purchase through the Site, you will provide your payment details and any additional information required to complete your Order directly to our third-party payment processor. You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by our payment processor and your card issuer, and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. MyAleph reserved the right to cancel any Order as a result of a declined payment. For your protection, our payment processor uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry-standard verification systems to reduce fraud and you authorize it to verify and authenticate your payment information. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more guidance as to the collection and storage of your data.

Unless otherwise specified, prices quoted are exclusive of (a) the costs of shipping or carriage to the agreed place of delivery; and (b) value-added tax and any other tax or duty which (where applicable) must be added to the price payable. You agree to pay for taxes, shipping, or carriage of the Products as such costs are specified by us when you submit your order.

For instance, if we have reason to believe that your order is not for personal use, we reserve the right to reject or cancel any order that you place. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity to process your order. We will either not charge you or refund the charges for orders that we cancel or do not process.

16.1 Scope of the Arbitration Agreement. If MyAleph cannot resolve any dispute with you regarding the Site, any transaction conducted on the Site or these terms, both you and MyAleph agree that any such dispute will be resolved through binding individual arbitration. Both you and MyAleph understand and agree to waive the right to sue or go to court to assert or defend our respective rights. However, either you or MyAleph may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversies between you and MyAleph, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under the law.
16.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. Either party asserting a dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Both you and MyAleph agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
16.3 How Arbitration Works. Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by these Arbitration Provisions. To file an arbitration demand and review the AAA Rules, you can go to the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or call the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, you and MyAleph will mutually agree to, or the court shall select, another arbitration provider. The arbitration will be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or in person in the county of your residence (as determined by your billing address on file in your MyAleph account) as mutually agreed upon by you and MyAleph. If you live outside the United States, any arbitration will take place in New York, NY. Unless the arbitrator finds some or all of your claims to be frivolous, without merit or otherwise non-reimbursable, MyAleph will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs up to the amount of $10,000. In determining whether an action is frivolous, the arbitrator may consider whether MyAleph offered you a full refund of the sum you paid for any items you purchased, or otherwise offered full relief to you in relation to your individual claim.
16.4 Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and MyAleph also agree to waive the right to assert or participate in any class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, any private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
