Terms of Service

Welcome to the G&S Sporting Goods LLC website (the “Site”). These Terms of Service  (“Terms") govern your use of the Site and our online store accessible via the Site. The Site and our services are collectively called the "Services".  Please read and review these Terms carefully, because by accessing or using the Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms when this option is presented to you, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.  G&S Sporting Goods LLC is known herein as “G&S.”

THE SECTION BELOW ENTITLED “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US AND CONFIRMS YOUR AGREEMENT TO A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

Changes to Terms or Services

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because the Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, in our sole discretion.

Who May Use the Services

Eligibility.  You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older, are capable of forming a binding contract with us and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years or older.

Account.  If you want to use certain features of the Services, including purchasing products online, you’ll have to create an account (“Account”) via the Site and provide your name and email address. Creation of your Account on the Site will enable you to use the features available on the Site.  It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we may suspend or terminate your Account. You agree not to disclose your Account password to anyone and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

Subscription.  You’ll be able to subscribe to our mailing list to receive emails and updates from the Services by providing us with your email address.

How the Services Work.  We make available an online platform that allows you to purchase products, mainly equipment, clothes and accessories (“Products”). Through the Services you will be able to browse our Products and place orders.

Order Confirmation.  We will provide an email or other form of confirmation after receipt of your purchase order. Your receipt of an order confirmation merely confirms our receipt of your order and neither indicates our acceptance of your order nor confirms our offer to sell. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any order you place with us. We may also, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household or order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same Account, Method of Payment (as defined below), email address, and/or using the same billing and/or shipping address. We also reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address provided at the time the order was made. If we cancel all or any part of your order after your Method of Payment has been charged, we will refund the billed amount.

Shipment Confirmation and Delivery.  All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending you an email confirming the Products have been shipped. You may choose the method of shipment and timing of delivery for Products you order if more than one method is available, and you will be charged shipping and handling charges accordingly based on your choice. We will not be held liable for deliveries that are delayed due to events that are beyond our control. However, we will work with you to ensure a smooth delivery.

Prices.  The prices displayed for Products available for purchase represent the applicable retail prices, and do not include taxes, shipping or handling charges (to the extent applicable). Any applicable taxes, shipping or handling charges will be communicated to you before you place an order. The prices displayed are quoted in U.S. dollars. Products in your shopping cart reflect the current price displayed on the Product’s details page. Please note that this price may differ from the price displayed when the Product was first placed in your shopping cart.

Payment.  By submitting an order through the Services, you agree to pay in advance the price of the Product(s) ordered, plus any applicable taxes, shipping and handling and/or other charges. Payment may be made by credit card or any other method of payment we may make available to you (each, a “Method of Payment”). In order to make a payment, you must provide us with valid credit card and/or other billing information and authorize us (or any third party payment service provider engaged by us) to charge your Method of Payment for all orders placed and accepted via the Services.

Cancellation, Return and Exchange Policies.  Cancellation, return and exchange policies are available to you via the Services. If a Product is not what you expected it to be, please review such policies to learn how and when you may return or exchange a Product purchased via the Services. You agree that any applicable shipping and/or handling charges are non-refundable.

Product Information.  Most Products displayed on the Services are available exclusively online through the Services. These Products may have limited quantities and, because of their limited availability, stock will not and cannot be refreshed. When a Product featured on the Services is no longer in stock, we use our best efforts to remove such Product from the Services in a timely manner. 

Errors, Inaccuracies and Omissions.  We make every effort to present the most recent, accurate, and reliable information on the Services at all times. However, occasionally there may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to Product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, and availability. Any errors are wholly unintentional and we reserve the right to amend errors or to update Product information at any time without prior notice. In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price due to photographical error, typographical error or any other error in pricing information, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for any Product listed at the incorrect price. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your Method of Payment charged. If your Method of Payment has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we will issue a credit to your Method of Payment in the amount of the incorrect price.

Colors & Style.  We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and styles of Products that appear on the Services. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color or style will be accurate.

Cancellation of Orders.  We reserve the right to cancel, modify or suspend any order placed if we determine in our sole discretion that a user has violated these Terms, including by engaging in any fraudulent or misleading activity (for example, by using false names, multiple identities, multiple email accounts or email addresses, impersonating another person or otherwise providing false or misleading information), or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that a user’s conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to our interests.

As part of the Services, you may receive notifications, alerts, emails, or other types of messages regarding the Services (for example, order confirmations, shipment confirmations and/or delivery information). We may also periodically send you emails that directly promote the Services and Products (for example, new Product offerings or features we provide, recommendations, special discounts or promotions).

Governing Law

Dispute Resolution

YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND G&S WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS BASIS, AS SET FORTH BELOW.

Informal Dispute Resolution.  We want to address your concerns without the need to initiate a formal legal case. In the event of a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, a “Dispute”), you and G&S agree to try to resolve such Dispute informally by first sending a notice to the other clearly marked “Notice of Dispute” and containing a brief written statement setting forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to us at contact@gsfightsupply.com. We will contact you via email at the address specified in any such notice or the address we have on file for your Account. You and G&S agree to use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation and good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days of submission of such notice. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such submission, you or G&S may resort to the other alternatives described in this section.

Agreement to Arbitrate.   In the event that any Dispute is unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days as described above, you and G&S agree to resolve such Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under “Exceptions to Agreement” to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate.  You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting contact@gsfightsupply.com within thirty (30) days of your first use of any of the Sites and stating that you decline this arbitration agreement. If you have an account on any of the Sites, the opt-out notice must include the email address we have on file for that account.

Arbitration Procedures.  The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, unless you and G&S otherwise agree in writing. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be held in New York, New York and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York.

If your or our claim does not exceed $10,000 and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless the party bringing the claim requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your or G&S’ claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

G&S will pay all filing and arbitration fees for claims of less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose. You are responsible for any other costs that you may incur in the arbitration, including but not limited to attorney's fees and expert witness costs, unless G&S is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or G&S may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or Content or actual or threatened intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.

No Class Actions.  You agree that you may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff of, or participate as part of, any purported class, joint, consolidated or representative action. Further, unless you and G&S otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class, joint, consolidated or representative proceeding.

Judicial Forum for Disputes.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class, joint, consolidated or representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, joint, consolidated or representative basis, then the Dispute will not be subject to arbitration and, other than small claims actions, must be brought in the appropriate federal or state court in New York, New York. Both you and G&S consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to G&S, these Terms, the Content, the Services or any Products must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose.

General Information

You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions that are applicable to certain parts of the Services. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent.
