Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: 10/12/25.
Welcome to Cooking with Cocktail Rings. By accessing or using this website (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Consent to Data Collection
These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, which discloses how we, our vendors, and our service providers collect and use data when you use the Site and/or mobile applications. You hereby consent to the collection and use of data by us, our vendors, and our service providers as described in the Privacy Policy (including any links to other policies therein). You may revoke this consent at any time by following the opt-out instructions in the Privacy Policy or clicking the provided links on the Site.
2. Binding Arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”)
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
You agree that any dispute or claim against us, or our vendors or service providers (collectively, “We” or “Us”), related in any way to your access or use of this Site, to these Terms, or to any aspect of your relationship with Us, will be resolved by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and the laws of the State of New York, rather than in court, except that:
- You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and
- You or We may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents) in the courts of New York.
You agree to commence any arbitration or other claim within one (1) year after the dispute arises; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of this Arbitration Agreement.
You agree in advance that you will not participate in or seek to recover monetary or other relief in any class, collective, or representative lawsuit against Us. Instead, you may bring claims individually in arbitration.
b. Process
To begin a claim, send a letter describing your claim in detail, including your name, contact information, legal claim, specific facts (including dates and amounts), and requested relief, to [physical address]. We will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution within thirty (30) days. If unresolved, arbitration will be conducted by JAMS using their Streamlined or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules depending on the amount in dispute (http://www.jamsadr.com/rules).
c. Fees
If the arbitrator finds you cannot afford JAMS fees and cannot obtain a waiver, we will pay them for you. Frivolous claims may require you to pay our attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law.
d. Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator has exclusive authority to interpret, apply, and enforce this Arbitration Agreement, including deciding any disputes over its enforceability. Arbitration decisions are final and binding.
e. Waiver of Jury Trial
You and We waive any rights to a trial by judge or jury, electing arbitration instead, except as provided above.
f. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
All claims must be arbitrated individually. Batch Arbitration procedures are allowed as outlined in Section (g) above.
g. Severability
If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found invalid, it will be severed, and the remainder will continue in full force.
h. Survival
This Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of your relationship with Us.
i. Modification
Material future changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not apply to claims for which you already provided notice.
3. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING NEW YORK LAW, WE, OR OUR VENDORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, “WE” OR “US”) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE TO RAPTIVE BY YOU FOR THE WEBSITE DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
4. Governing Law
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any disputes arising out of or related to your use of this Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The courts of New York are the proper venue for any dispute not subject to binding arbitration.
5. Miscellaneous
Any notices or communications regarding these Terms should be sent to [physical address].
You may not use the Site for unlawful purposes.
We may update these Terms at any time; continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
