In some instances, both this Agreement and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of service or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Service or to a service or product offered via the Service (in each such instance, and collectively "Additional Terms"). Additional Terms may apply to some products and services offered on the Service and may be found at the place where the relevant product or service is offered.

References on the Service to any names, marks, products, or services of third parties, or links to Third Party Services or information are not an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation of the third party, its information, products, or services. Levell LLC is not responsible for the quality or delivery of the products or services offered, accessed, obtained by or advertised at such Third Party Services.

IV. ORDERS
- Acceptance and Billing. All billing information provided must be truthful and accurate. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ORDER. By submitting such information, you grant to Levell LLC the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of orders initiated by you or on your behalf. Providing any false, untruthful or inaccurate information constitutes a breach of this Agreement for which we may cancel your order. Before accepting an order we may request additional information from you. We may refuse or cancel an order for any reason including limitations on the quantities available, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance partners. If your order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or other applicable payment account) in the amount of the charge. We will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Levell LLC may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
By confirming your purchase during the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the item(s). You will not be charged for most orders until the order ships. You will be charged at the time your order is placed for: (1) orders or preorders paid for with a Gift Card, eGift Card or PayPal account; and (2) any orders paid using the in-store "Cash" payment method.
Levell LLC reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household or per order for any reason. These restrictions may apply to orders placed by the same account, the same credit card, and also to orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. If such limits are applied, we will notify you. Levell LLC also reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to prohibit sales to dealers or resellers of any kind.
- Pricing and Tax Information. Levell LLC cannot confirm the final price of an item (including any estimated tax or other charges) until after your order is placed. Any applicable taxes, tax reimbursements or other applicable government fees or impositions are charged or collected for orders shipped to the U.S. The amount of any such charges is based on current rates. The sales tax rate applied to your order will generally be at the combined state and local rate for the address where your order is shipped. Estimated tax displayed during your order and on your packing slip is only an estimate, as many factors can change between the time you place your order and when your order ships. The actual amount of tax, government fees or impositions Levell LLC collects may be different than the amount shown when you placed your order or on your packing slip, as such actual amount is not calculated until the time of shipment. Gift-wrap and delivery or shipping charges may also be subject to collection of tax, government fees or impositions in applicable jurisdictions. The applicable tax, government fees or impositions will be refunded for returned items, in accordance with applicable state laws. Gift Cards purchased at Levell llc or at a Levell LLC store are not taxable (but purchases made with gift cards may be subject to taxes, tax reimbursements, or other government fees or impositions). Government laws and rates are subject to change at any time. Certain purchases may be made while a tax-free event is effective (e.g. sales tax holiday). Eligibility and participation may vary, so visit the applicable jurisdiction's website for complete details. If you are not charged sales tax on a purchase made via the Service, you may owe "use tax" to your state of residency.
SHIPMENTS TO A SOUTH DAKOTA ADDRESS: YOU MAY OWE USE TAX DIRECTLY TO THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA. In regards to merchandise purchased on Service and shipped to South Dakota, you should be aware that, unless your purchase is specifically excluded from South Dakota sales tax, South Dakota law requires each South Dakota purchaser to report any purchase that was not taxed and to pay applicable taxes on the purchase. The tax may be reported and paid on the South Dakota use tax form. The use tax form and related instructions are available on the South Dakota Department of Revenue website. This notice is required for South Dakota delivered purchases based on Senate Bill No. 146.
Pricing errors may occur on the Service from time to time. Levell LLC reserves the right to cancel any orders containing pricing errors, with no further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from Levell LLC. Levell LLC may, at its discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Pricing for products may be different on the Service or from prices available in Levell LLC stores or on Levell LLC mobile applications (pricing and availability remain subject to confirmation at checkout for mobile users). It is also important to note that the Service may, in our sole discretion, offer a price match for identical merchandise sold in our stores or by other online retailers that also maintain brick-and-mortar store locations.
- Colors and Sizes. We have made significant efforts to accurately display the products that appear on the Service, including features such as colors and product sizes. However, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display will accurately reflect actual product color, finish, or size. The actual colors you see when you view the Service depend on your monitor and your settings. Product sizes may vary based on manufacturer, and different products from the same manufacturer may have different sizes.
- Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss. Delivery of items purchased from the Service to addresses outside the United States is limited. Some items also have restricted delivery within the United States. Some items may be available for pick up at physical store locations. Delivery times will be determined based on the method of shipping chosen when items are purchased and the destination of the items. Shipping and delivery charges could attract certain governmental charges, including taxes.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the risk of loss for and title to merchandise purchased on the Service passes to the purchaser upon tender of the merchandise to the carrier.
- Returns. You may not return your purchase in accordance with our Return Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement. Levell LLC does not take title to returned merchandise until the merchandise return is processed and approved at a Levell LLC location.
- Promotional Codes. Promotional codes are limited in nature and may expire or discontinue with or without notice. Promotional codes are void where prohibited by law. Promotional codes may not be copied, sold, traded or otherwise offered. They are not redeemable for cash and are subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason.
- Gift Cards. All gift cards are issued by Levell LLC Stores, Inc. and are deemed purchased in and issued from the State of Ohio. The risk of loss and title to gift cards passes to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable. Gift cards may or may not, at Levell LLC discretion, be an accepted form of payment on the Service. For full terms and conditions related to gift cards, please see the back of the gift card.

Be aware that, under the DMCA, claimants who make misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or by Levell LLC, if injured by relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing.
If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you may file a counter notification with the designated agent at the address listed above.

- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located and that you will accept service of process from the complainant who provided the original notification or an agent of such person or entity.
If we receive a valid counter notification, we will provide the complainant with a copy of the counter notification, inform the complainant that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 to 14 business days from receipt of the counter notification, and replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 to 14 business days, provided that we have not received notice from the complainant that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system.
You should be aware that the DMCA provides substantial penalties for a false counter notice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement. Claimants who make misrepresentations in their the counter notification statement may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by Levell LLC, if injured by relying upon such misrepresentation in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

VI. DISPUTES; GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION
- Disputes. Except as specifically stated herein, you agree that any disputes, actions, and claims relating to your use of the Service and all matters arising out of or related to the Agreement and any applicable Additional Terms (collectively "Disputes" or a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by final binding arbitration, except that you may assert claims in small claims court in the county of your residence or in Columbus, Ohio, if your claims qualify. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. All of the AAA's rules are available at https://www.adr.org/, and the rules governing consumer disputes are available at https://www.adr.org/consumer. The AAA's rules, including the rules governing consumer disputes, are also available by calling 1-800-778-7879. You may initiate arbitration by utilizing the forms available on www.adr.org. If you have any difficulty initiating arbitration, you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. You and Levell LLC are each giving up the right to have disputes resolved in court before a judge and/or jury (except as stated otherwise in this Section VI). The provisions of this Section VI constitute your and Levell LLC' written agreement for resolving Disputes, including the agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act ("Dispute Agreement"). The most current version of this Dispute Agreement in effect when any Dispute arises shall govern resolution of any Dispute.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees ("Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA's rules. You agree to commence arbitration only in your county of residence or in Columbus, Ohio. We will reimburse to you Arbitration Fees you paid for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. The arbitration will be conducted based on written submissions unless you request a phone or in-person hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a phone or in-person hearing is necessary. The arbitrator may only award those damages and relief as a court could, and must follow the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Dispute Agreement.
Governing Law. You agree that all Disputes will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), applicable Federal Law, and laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
- No Class Action Matters. You and Levell LLC each agree that resolution of any Disputes, whether in court or in arbitration, will be conducted and resolved only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action, and that any relief awarded, including equitable relief, shall only be awarded on an individual basis.
- Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you or Levell LLC may bring suit in court to seek an injunction, a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief arising out of, or relating to, enforcement of Section I and Section II of the Agreement, or claims related to the validity or enforcement of your or our intellectual property rights.
- No Jury Trial; Choice of Law and Forum for Court Proceedings. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court, other than for Disputes brought in a small claims court for qualifying claims, you and Levell LLC agree: (i) that any such Dispute may only be brought in a state or federal court in Columbus, Ohio, to be governed by the FAA, applicable Federal Law, and the laws of Ohio, without regard to conflict of law principles; (ii) to further irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts in Columbus, Ohio; and, (iii) to waive any right to a trial by jury.
- Severability. With the exception of Section VI(C), if any part of this Section VI is ruled to be unenforceable for any reason, then the remaining provisions of Section VI shall remain in force as if any portion ruled unenforceable were not included in this Section VI. If Section VI(C) is ruled to be unenforceable for any reason, then Section VI(A) shall no longer be enforceable, but the remainder of this Section VI shall remain in effect.
