Welcome to TaoShop.io. We're glad you're here. Create comfort and fun, but follow the rules of our house.
This policy is effective from 24 July 2023.
Please note that Section 11 of the Terms below contains a binding arbitration agreement and a right of withdrawal for users in North and South America. By agreeing to the Terms, you and TaoShop.io agrees to refer any dispute between us to personal arbitration and not to bring a lawsuit, except in the limited circumstances described below.
This document and other materials that we refer to below constitute our general rules or what we formally call the Terms of Use (abbreviated as “Terms”).
The Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and TaoShop.io. If you live in North or South America, the contract is between you and TaoShop.io, Inc.; if you reside elsewhere, the contract is between you and TaoShop.io Ireland UC, a subsidiary of Tao Shop.io, Inc. We'll only call TaoShop.io, Inc. And all of its subsidiaries are "TaoShop.io".
Please note that Section 11 contains arbitration clauses and collective action waivers, applicable to users in North and South America, and explains how to refuse to participate in arbitrations. Unless you choose not to participate validly, you agree to resolve all disputes with TaoShop.io exclusively through binding individual arbitration, with a limited number of exceptions. This means that you and TaoShop.io are waiving your right to initiate a lawsuit in court, trial by a jury or participate in a collective or representative lawsuit. Please read this Section carefully as it affects your rights.

By using any of our Services (even if you only browse one of our websites or apps), you agree to the Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, you may not use our Services. Agree with us?

All of these policies are part of our Terms, so be sure to read the policies that are right for you. Of course, you'll still want to read the rest of this document as it applies to everyone!

Both TaoShop.io and the seller process the member’s personal information (e.g. buyer’s name, email address and delivery address) and are therefore considered as separate and independent data controllers for the purchaser’s Personal Information under EU law. This means that each party is responsible for the personal information we process when providing the Service. For example, if the seller accidentally discloses the buyer's name and e-mail address when placing an order from another buyer, the sender, not TaoShop.io, will be responsible for such unauthorized disclosure.
However, if you (as a seller) and TaoShop.io are found to be joint controllers of the buyer's personal information data and if Tao Shop.io is sued, fined or liable for something that you have done (or failed to do) as the general data controller of the purchaser's private information, then you agree to protect and compensate Taoshop.io under Section 9 below.

The exception is that each of us can (1) bring qualifying individual claims to the "small litigation" court, as long as such claims are still brought to the court of small litigations; and (2) seek emergency remedies in court for infringement or abuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, copyrights and patents).

After receiving the full Dispute Notice, the recipient has 60 days to investigate the complaints. If either party requests a settled meeting during this time, you and TaoShop.io must work together to schedule that meeting via telephone or video conference. Each of you and TaoShop.io will participate personally and each of you may offer a lawyer but the meeting must be personalised, even if the same company(s) represent multiple parties. For claims in the Dispute Notice, any deadlines will be counted from the date of receipt of the notice until (i) 60 days or (ii) after the completion of the requested timely settlement meeting (“Informal Settlement Time”). Arbitration may not be submitted until the informal settlement period has expired and the court may order the initiation of proceedings or prosecution of arbitration in violation of this Section.

You can send any arbitration requests to TaoShop.io by mail to:io, Inc. c/o The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, DE 19801.

The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. The arbitral hearing (if any) will be conducted by TV bridge, unless either party requests a direct hearing and the arbitrator agrees. If a direct hearing is required, the hearing will be held in the district where you reside (for residents of the United States), New York County, New York (for non-residents) or as decided by the arbitrator (in the case of Mass Arbitration).

Just as in court, the arbitrator will apply the applicable law, any lawyer must comply with the Federal Civil Procedure Rules 11(b) and the arbiter may impose any sanction under the AAA Rules, Rule 11 or other applicable laws.

Lawyers, disputes must be arbitrated in a row, each with a maximum of 50 claims. Specifically, after notification from either party, the AAA will group the claimants into: (1) a single claim (if there are 25-50 claimants) or (2) each claimant has 50 claimants, with a smaller last claimant including any remaining claimants (if more than 50 are claimants). The AAA will then regulate the settlement of each Round in the form of a single combined arbitration with a single arbitrator designated by the AAA, a Arbitration Fee set and a hearing (if any) for every Round held by a TV conference (or at a location). by the referee). The parties will cooperate in good faith to implement this process and minimize the time and cost of arbitration. All complaints against AAA's administrative decisions will be dealt with by a single arbitrator.

Except as provided for in Section 11, if any part of the Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum necessary and will be deleted so that the terms remain in full force. The failure of us to enforce any part of the Terms does not mean that we waive the right of enforcement of that part or any other part of these Terms later. We may transfer any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.
If you have any questions about the Terms, please email us at [email protected].
