GEMI DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES THAT ACCESS TO THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE; THAT THE SERVICES OR ANY SERVER THAT MAKES THE SERVICES AVAILABLE WILL BE VIRUS-FREE; OR THAT INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECT, ACCURATE, ADEQUATE, USEFUL, TIMELY, RELIABLE OR OTHERWISE COMPLETE.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, in such jurisdictions some or all of the above disclaimers or exclusions may not apply and liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

10.  Indemnification.  By using the Services, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Releasees from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and all costs and expenses of defense, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees, resulting directly or indirectly from a claim (including without limitation, claims made by third parties for infringement of intellectual property rights) by a third party that arises in connection with (i) your use or misuse of the Services; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (iv) your Submissions.

a.  General.  By using the Services, you agree that, except as specifically set forth below, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims or causes of action between you and any Releasee arising out of, under or related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Services or the purchase or sale of any products or services via the Services (“Claims”) will be settled exclusively through binding arbitration. YOU AND M. GEMI ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR M. GEMI'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND IN SO DOING YOU AND M.

b.  Process.  Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law.  The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Except as modified by these Terms of Use, and unless agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless your claim is valued at more than $75,000, M. Gemi waives the right to recover an award of attorney's fees and expenses against you.  You agree that, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim you have must be commenced within one (1) year after the Claim arises.  For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

c.  Location of Arbitration.  Arbitration may be initiated in either Massachusetts or the county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your residence, M. Gemi or the applicable Releasee may transfer the arbitration to Massachusetts if it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location in such amounts as determined by the arbitrator.

d.  Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, either you or M. Gemi may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret will not be subject to this arbitration provision. Any dispute not subject to arbitration will be exclusively brought (unless such courts do not have personal jurisdiction in the dispute) in the courts located in Boston, Massachusetts. Additionally, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before such courts in order to maintain the status quo pending the arbitrator’s ruling, and hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

 

12.  Governing Law.  These Terms of Use (together with the Privacy Policy) and any Claims shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

 

13.  Notice.  We may give notice to you by email, a posting on the Site or other reasonable means. You must give notice to us in writing via email to assistant@mgemi.com or as otherwise expressly provided.

 

14.  Miscellaneous.  These Terms of Use are personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign or delegate your right and/or duties under these Terms of Use to anyone else and any attempted assignment or delegation is void. The paragraph headings in these Terms of Use are included only to help make these Terms of Use easier to read and have no binding effect. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. These Terms of Use constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications or agreements. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Terms of Use will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. Sections 1 – 4 and 7 – 14 will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use or your right to use the Services for any reason.

Please report any violations of these Terms of Use to assistant@mgemi.com.

Gift Cards and Mia Bags are final sale and are not eligible for return. You must return or exchange any eligible item within fourteen (14) calendar days of the delivery date. All items for return or exchange must be in their original condition, unused, unwashed, unaltered and undamaged. Items must be in the original packaging (including, if possible, the original delivery box) and be accompanied by the original invoice. For Before They Go items, refunds will be credited in the form of an M.Gemi eGift Card. Items that were purchased at a Bloomingdale’s location, or shipped to an address outside of the U.S., may be eligible for return, subject to the other terms contained herein, but are not eligible for exchange.

2.  Process.  For most orders, you can visit https://mgemi.loopreturns.com/ to initiate a return or exchange of an eligible item. To initiate a return of an eligible item purchased at a Bloomingdale’s location, you must email bloomingdales@mgemi.com and include your Bloomingdale’s order number and return reason.

Depending on your credit card company, it may take an additional 2-10 business days after your credit is applied to post to your account.

If a Gift Card was utilized in the original purchase, we will credit the original Gift Card used with the value of the return refund.

For returns of Before They Go Sale items or products purchased during certain events, such as private sale events, your refund may be credited in the form of an M.Gemi Gift Card, unless they fall under the small number of heavily discounted items marked Final Sale, as noted at the time of purchase.
