law.
16. Disclaimer; Limitation of Damages. The Site is provided on an "AS IS," "as

accuracy, integrity, or completeness of the Content provided on the Site or the products or services offered for
sale on the Site. Further, we make no representation that Content provided on the Site is applicable or appropriate
for use in locations outside of the United States. Springtimepetsupply.com specifically disclaims warranties of any
kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. No oral advice or written information given by
Springtimepetsupply.com or its Associates shall create a warranty. You expressly agree that the use of the Site is at

an authorized representative of Springtimepetsupply.com has been advised of or should have knowledge of the possibility
of such damages. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph shall apply to all content, merchandise and services

17. Applicable Laws; Venue.
Springtimepetsupply.com operates the Site from its offices in Tennessee and makes no representations that materials in
the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. The display of the Site alone does not subject
Springtimepetsupply.com to any specific jurisdiction. Access to the Site from any territory where the content is illegal
is prohibited. By choosing to access the Site from other locations, you are solely responsible for compliance with
any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You may not use or export any of the Site materials in violation
of U.S. export laws and regulations. Any claim related to the use of the Site or to the Site materials shall be
governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee as applied to agreements
made and to be performed entirely therein. Any action arising out of or related to the access, use, content, or
existence of this Site shall be filed only in the appropriate state or federal court located within the State of
Tennessee. The access, viewing or use of this Site constitutes the user's express permission and consent to the
jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts of the State of Tennessee for purposes of such
actions.
18. Disputes. Any dispute relating whatsoever pertaining to your visit to
Springtimepetsupply.com or to products you purchase through Springtimepetsupply.com shall be submitted to confidential
arbitration in Tennessee, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate
Springtimepetsupply.com's intellectual property rights, Springtimepetsupply.com may seek injunctive or other appropriate
relief in any state or federal court in the State of Tennessee, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue
in such courts. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American

competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall
be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration
proceedings or otherwise.
19. Bounce check fees. Each incident of a check "bouncing"
(i.e. for each stamp of NSF, Account Closed, Stop payment, etc) will incur a $25 bounce check fee. In addition, the
customer's name, address, telephone and identifying information will be listed on an international credit card fraud
database available to all online merchants. In addition, the unresolved matter will be reported to the local
authorities, the F.B.I., the U.S. Secret Service and Interpol. We will prosecute all incidents of fraud.
20. Chargebacks. If a customer charges back a payment to their credit card, a $75.00
administrative and research fee will be accessed. Even if the chargeback is a mistake, the cost of handling the
claim and merchant fees make this necessary. This is in addition to any applicable fees and monies due. Should this
charge not be honored by the credit card company, it will be listed with a credit reporting agency and listed on the
customer's credit report. In addition, chargebacks will be reported to the local authorities, the F.B.I., the U.S.
Secret Service and Interpol. We will prosecute all incidents of fraud. In the event that a chargeback is placed on a
purchase, we reserve the right to report the incident for inclusion in a chargeback abuser database. The information
reported will include name, email address, order date, order amount, IP address, full address, and phone number.
Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make the payment for the amount of the chargeback
(if goods shipped) $75 for processing fees by Wire Transfer.
