  • Annex 2: Terms of Sale
  • Annex 3: Return Policy

10) GOVERNING LAW

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms and any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to our services, these Terms, or your use of the Website (“Dispute”) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to its choice-of law-provisions, and not by the 1980 U.S. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.  

11) DISPUTES

            (a)        Limitations.  Except as otherwise prohibited by law, any claim or dispute must be brought within one (1) year from the date the cause of action arises.  

            (b)        Informal Dispute Resolution.  You and we agree to work together in an effort to resolve any Dispute.  The party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.  Notice shall be sent to:

            -           Us at: Copyright Manager

HIMCo USA Inc.

545 West 25th St

4th Fl

New York, NY 10001

customerservice@odissi-studio.com

            -           You at your last-used billing address or the billing or shipping address in your online profile.

Both you and we agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

            (c)        Arbitration.  To the extent you and we cannot resolve a Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, such Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or we may assert individual claims in small claims court if the claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual basis.  You and we agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under these Terms and with respect to any Dispute. This also includes any Dispute that arose before you accepted these Terms, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms required arbitration.  You and we expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

            Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules, including rules related to multiple or mass case filings, except as provided in this section.  The arbitration shall be conducted by AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) and, if appropriate, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (“Supplementary Rules”), as modified by this Section 12.  The AAA Rules and Supplementary Rules, are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879.  In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. If you initiate an arbitration against us, you will be responsible for the non-refundable individual’s initial filing fee.  To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration, the arbitrator may require us to reimburse you for the excess amount you paid to AAA.  If the arbitrator finds that AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing, and other fees would be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, the arbitrator may require us to reimburse as much of such fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive to you.  If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, groundless, or brought or continued in bad faith, you must reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.  If your arbitration claim is filed at or around the time of other similar claims by the same or related counsel, your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the AAA to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures.  The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator may, in the arbitrator’s discretion and to the extent authorized by applicable law, include in the award rendered by the arbitrator costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs, including costs for expert and other witnesses, to the prevailing party, and the arbitrator shall include in such analysis whether any claims made in the arbitration were frivolous or were brought or continued in bad faith.

            ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

            The arbitrator shall be empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies as are available in court.  However, to the extent permissible by applicable law, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer.  You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or our respective individual capacity and in so doing you and we hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind.  If it is decided that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.

            (d)        Mass Arbitration and Bellwether Protocols.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, to increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 25 or more arbitration demands of a similar nature are filed within 180 days of an arbitration demand filed on your or our behalf, and your claim or defense is presented by or with the assistance or involvement of the same law firm, organization, or collection of law firms as is involved in the other arbitrations of a similar nature, this will constitute a “Mass Arbitration”.  If you and we disagree about whether a Mass Arbitration has been instituted, either party may request that the arbitration provider determine that a Mass Arbitration has been instituted and that the procedures below are applicable.  For purposes of making this determination, arbitration demands shall be deemed of a “similar nature” if they (i) arise out of or relate to a similar factual scenario, (ii) raise the same or similar legal issues and (iii) seek the same or similar relief.

            From the date of agreement that a Mass Arbitration has been filed, or if the arbitration provider determines that a Mass Arbitration has been filed, either party may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days of the determination.  You may opt out of arbitration by providing written notice of your intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to us, at customerservice@odissi-studio.com.  We may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice of our intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to you or your attorney, agent, or representative if you are represented.

            If the parties proceed with the Mass Arbitration, then, to promote a fair and speedy resolution of all claims in the Mass Arbitration, the arbitration provider shall randomly select four (4) demands for arbitration to proceed, and then claimants and respondents shall each select three (3) demands for arbitration to proceed, for a total of ten (10) arbitrations (the “Bellwether Arbitrations”).  While the Bellwether Arbitrations are adjudicated, all remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Arbitration shall be held in abeyance and stayed, and no party shall be responsible for paying any additional administration or arbitrator fees (other than initial filing/administrative fees for the Bellwether Arbitrations and the abeyance fees).  Any applicable statute of limitations regarding those demands shall be tolled beginning from the date of determination that there is a Mass Arbitration.  These bellwether procedures are designed to achieve an overall faster, more efficient, and less costly mechanism for resolving Mass Arbitrations, including claims that are not selected as Bellwether Arbitrations.  Accordingly, following the resolution of all Bellwether Arbitrations, the parties shall engage in a global mediation of all remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Arbitration.  The mediation shall be administered by the arbitration provider, or a mutually agreeable other mediator. 

            If the parties are unable to reach a global resolution following the above Bellwether Arbitrations and global mediation, the following batching provisions shall apply to the remaining claims:

 

                        (i)         The parties shall cooperate to group the arbitration demands into randomized batches of no more than 100 demands per batch. To the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching previously described, a final batch shall consist of the remaining demands; and

                        (ii)        The arbitration provider shall treat each batch of demands as one case, with each case having one demand for arbitration, one appointed arbitrator, and one set of administrative documents, and administrative, arbitrator, and filing fees per batch.

            This batching process shall not affect the nature of these actions as individual in nature, including that the arbitrator will make a separate determination for each claimant, nor shall it change the burden of proof on each individual claimant.  You must cooperate in good faith with us and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution.  Disagreements over the applicability of this batch arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section.  If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the Dispute in accordance with the terms set forth in this section, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider that is willing and able to administer the Mass Arbitration pursuant to the Bellwether Arbitration and batch approach outlined in the terms above.

            (e)        Severability of Arbitration Agreement.  If any portion of the foregoing clauses (b) through (d) (collectively, the “Arbitration Provisions”) is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from the Arbitration Provisions; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Provisions or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

            (f)         Opt-Out.  You may opt out of this Arbitration Provisions via email. If you do so, neither party can force the other party to arbitrate. To opt out of this Arbitration Provisions, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the of (i) your first use of the Website or (ii) the subsequent posting of revisions to the Arbitration Provisions. If you opt out of the Arbitration Provisions, the class action waiver shall continue to apply.  Your opt-out notice must be sent via email to customerservice@odissi-studio.com and shall include your name, address, and the same email address you used to create an account with us (if you created an account with us) and a statement that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Provisions.

            (g)        Litigation.  Any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of state or federal courts sitting in New York County, New York and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND WE BOTH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

12) TERM; SURVIVAL

These Terms shall apply to you whenever, and for so long as, you access and use the Website or any HIMCo Content; provided that Sections 9 through 13 hereof shall continue to apply indefinitely after your access and use end.

13) SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the remaining provisions hereof shall be unaffected thereby and the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be reformed so as most closely to reflect its original intent.

Cookies Policy

HIMCO USA Inc. with registered office in 545 West 25th St, 4th Fl, New York, NY 10001, (hereinafter, the “Company”), intend to inform users as follows.

 

In this information, pursuant to art. 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (hereafter, "Regulation"), you will be explained how we collect this data, for what purposes and what are your rights. This document is a part of the Information Note on the Processing of Personal Data, available at the following link.

 

The internet website www.odissi-studio.com (hereafter the "SITE") uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.

 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text’s files that websites visited by the user send directly to the user's device (normally to the browser); they are then stored on the device and transmitted to the site again the next time the user visits it (i.e. first party cookie). During navigation on a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his terminal (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because on the visited website there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.

Cookies may have a limited duration to a single browsing session on the browser (so-called session cookies), and in this case they are automatically deactivated when the browser is closed by the user; or they may have a predetermined deadline and, in this case, they will remain stored and active on your hard disk until this expiration date, continuing to collect information during different browsing sessions on the browser (so-called persistent cookies).

Cookies are used for different functions. Some are necessary to allow you to browse the site and take advantage of its features (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, whether aggregated or not, on the number of users accessing the Website and on how the Website is used (so-called tracking or analytics cookies). Others, finally, are used to track your consumer profile and make you display advertisements on the site that may be interesting for you, as they are consistent with your tastes and your consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

To learn more in detail these different categories of cookies continue reading this statement. Find out how they work and what they are for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or prevent it.

 

First party cookies

The Site uses the following types of first-party technical cookies, for which no users' consent is required but for which the Data Controller is obliged to provide adequate information:

(a) Transient or session cookies: these are essential as they allow the user to move from one page to another on our Site and make use of the services provided; as they are not stored on the user's device, they disappear when the browser is closed;

(b) Persistent cookies: used solely to improve Site browsing speed, as they memorize certain settings selected by the user (such as language selection).

They are therefore instruments used by the Company to guarantee, among other, efficient browsing, session stability, continued login settings throughout the entire session and the selected navigation Country. They also remember the selections made by the user related to the viewing of certain page elements, such as for instance, information and communication banners.

The use of technical cookies and the processing activities related to the same, do not require prior consent of the user, according to the current laws in force.

The possibility remains, in any case, for users to prevent the installation of technical cookies at any moment in time using the settings on the browser used; this does mean, however, that such settings may make the Site slow, complicated or even impossible to navigate.

The Company acts as Data Controller exclusively for the first party cookies installed on the Site.

The cookies installed on or used by the Site can be visible through the Cookies tab present therein, along with their respective functions.

Third party cookies are required to view customized advertising on the Site and other websites and are based on the browsing activities of each individual user. This type of cookie may also be used by third parties to display their products and services on the Site.

(b) efficacy of the acquisition campaigns based on web traffic sources.

(c) details on products viewed and/or downloaded from the Site.

(d) profiles of visitors in terms of targeting their needs, preferences, taste and inclinations for the purposes of retargeting and look alike activities of the Controller towards third parties, including social media and platforms.

These cookies, along with the purposes for which the same are used outside the Site, fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third part that installs them on the users' terminals and are used to display advertising media to the user that may be of interest to the same (as in the case of third-party cookies used for profiling/retargeting strategies).

Should the user decide not to receive third party cookies on his/her device, it is possible to use the links below and access the information notice and consent forms provided by such third parties to reject setting of all such cookies.

The table below shows all the cookies found on the Site, highlighting their specific characteristics and, in the case of third-party cookies, links to the respective privacy information notices, so that the user can make an informed decision on whether or not to grant consent to the use of the same, and which cookies to block or erase.
