We may occasionally make changes to the Terms. When we make what we decide may be a material change, we will provide you with notice as we believe is appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may send you an email notifying you of the change. In some cases, we may notify you in advance of the change. We will always post the latest version of Terms on our website. Your continued use of the Services after we make a change will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you should stop using our Services.

- Right to limit sale of products
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and orders that use the same billing or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail, billing address, or phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. We do not authorize the purchase of commercial quantities of our merchandise, and we reserve the right to cease doing business with persons that violate this policy.
- Limitation on remedies and liability
You agree that to the extent permitted by law, your sole and exclusive remedy for any purported problems, issues, or failures with the Services is to stop using the Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that Weatherman, its officers, employees, agents, directors, affiliates, successors, assigns, suppliers, and licensors shall not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages or lost profits arising out of or related in any way to the Agreements or our Services, even if Weatherman has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The total liability of Weatherman, its officers, employees, agents, directors, affiliates, successors, assigns, suppliers, or licensors, regardless of the form of action, shall not exceed the greater of (1) the total of any subscription or similar fees with respect to any service or feature of the Services paid in the six months prior to the date of the initial claim made against Weatherman (but not including the purchase price for any Weatherman hardware or software products or any support, service, or after-market warranty program, if any), or (2) $100.00 in U.S. currency.
The limitations set forth in this section shall not apply for fraud, intentional misconduct, personal injury or death, or only where prohibited by law, gross negligence, or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Further, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. For example, the state of New Jersey may not enforce limitation or exclusion provisions in some circumstances.
Any claim arising out of or related to the Agreements or your use of the Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that neither you nor Weatherman will have the right to assert such claim or receive any remedy for such claim. A claim arises when that claim could be first asserted in arbitration or courts of law. Claims that are made in connection with your purchase of our products or services are not subject to this one-year limitation.
You and Weatherman agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative action. You and Weatherman further agree that a judge or arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person or entity’s claims. The arbitrator or judge may award injunction relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief to the individual party.
- Mandatory Arbitration Agreement
All claims subject to arbitration
You and Weatherman agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Weatherman arising out of or related to the Agreements or your use of the Services, whether based in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, is to be exclusively determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. You and Weatherman further agree that arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to rule on the arbitrability of any claim including any objections to the existence, scope, or validity of this Mandatory Arbitration agreement. This Mandatory Arbitration agreement survives termination of the Agreements.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Discovery may be more limited than discovery in court. Court review of an arbitration award is limited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) either party may bring an individual action in state or federal court seeking only a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction pending a final ruling from the arbitrator, and (2) either party may bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court if such action qualifies for small claims court. Further, this Mandatory Arbitration agreement does not prevent you or us from notifying local, state, or federal agencies or authorities, who could seek relief against you or us on the other’s behalf.
Arbitration rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/Rules. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
- Choice of law and venue
Any dispute or claims arising out of or in connection with the Agreements or your use of the Services are subject to the laws of the state of New York without regard to choice of or conflicts of law principles. This provision does not apply to New Jersey residents to the extent that your rights as a New Jersey consumer are required by New Jersey law to be governed under New Jersey law.
To the extent any claims between you and Weatherman are determined not to be subject to arbitration, pursuant to Section 10, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York County, New York for any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and you irrevocably waive any objection you may have with respect to such jurisdiction. To the extent New Jersey would not enforce this provision, this provision does not apply to residents of New Jersey.
- Changes and shut-down of the Services
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, interrupt, or terminate operation of or access to the Services, or any portion of the Services, for any or no reason, at any time, and without notice.

- Termination of the Agreements
The Agreements are in effect unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate the Agreements at any time by notifying us. Weatherman may terminate the Agreements with you or your access to the Services at any time and for any reason permitted by law, including for the failure of you to abide by the terms of the Agreements, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.
- Entire agreement
However, other aspects of your use of the Services may be governed by additional agreements. For example, you may be presented with separate offers or promotions from Weatherman. When you are presented with an offer or promotion, you may be presented with additional terms to which you can agree. To the extent there is an irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and the terms of the Agreements, the additional terms shall apply.
- Severability and waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Weatherman harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of any activity related to your use of the Services or your breach of the Agreements. To the extent some jurisdictions, such as New Jersey, may not enforce this indemnification provision in some circumstances, this provision does not apply to New Jersey residents.
If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Weatherman, its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, legal representatives, agents, successors, and assigns from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and natures, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
