method and that you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to

4.4 Pricing and Availability
All of our Products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to
impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to
discontinue offering certain Products and to substitute Products (including,
but not limited to, specific produce items) without prior notice. We strive to
provide you with high-quality Products, and given the perishable nature of
certain Products and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required
to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not
satisfied with a substitution, please contact [email protected]
If you add extra produce items
and go over your subscription price, you will pay the displayed Market Specials
price, which is a discounted price, on the extra produce items in addition to
your subscription amount.
Market Special items swapped
into your base subscription will no longer maintain the Market Special price.
Only all produce items purchased in addition to or above your minimum
subscription amount will be charged at displayed Market Special pricing.
4.5 Deliveries
You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive
from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In addition, you are
solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive.
You should always inspect your delivery to confirm that the Products arrive in
a cool condition. To maintain the quality and integrity of the Products, we
recommend that you immediately maintain the said temperature for all perishable
Products upon delivery and follow the standard instructions on product safety.
From the time of delivery, the condition and usage of the Products are solely
at your risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe washing,
handling, preparation, storage, use of the Products following delivery. We
recommend that you follow the standard instructions on safe product handling.
Failure to follow safe product handling practices and temperature
recommendations may increase the risk of plant or crop illness.
Our delivery person
will leave the package for you at your door during our normal delivery hours
(home: night delivery between 8 pm and 8 am, and office: day delivery between 8
am and 5pm). Depending on the season and temperature in your geographic area at
the time of delivery, advance planning by you should be made for proper storage
of your products prior to usage.
In the case of inclement weather
or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver
your Order, we will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably
possible. In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery
date. In the event that timely delivery of your Order is not feasible, we will
cancel your Order for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund
of the purchase price for that farm box delivery.
4.6 No
Resale
You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products for commercial
purposes.
4.7 Product Descriptions
Badikheti attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Badikheti does not
warrant that product descriptions, photos, or other content of any product is
accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by
Badikheti itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to receive a refund
for the product. We at Badikheti are farmers and know that farmers cannot grow
items that are all perfect and all exactly uniform. For this reason, weights displayed
are approximate and intended to communicate approximate amounts of produce that
you will receive. While we don’t anticipate weights to be incorrect, your sole remedy
for any error or documented weight-related issue will be resolved via a credit
or refund for the product in question.
4.9 Returns and Refunds
If you are dissatisfied with any product, please contact us at [email protected] within
48 hours of your delivery and, depending on the circumstances, we will provide
you a full or partial credit or refund of the purchase price for that box or
product. We may require the return of any product with which you are
dissatisfied before we provide you a replacement, credit or refund.

the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also
limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from

We reserve the right in our sole
discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the
Sites (or any features or parts thereof) or the provision of the Products at

13.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND
CLAIMS WITH BADI KHETI AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM
US.
13.1 Binding Arbitration
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or
proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or
related to a violation of Section 8 or Disputes in which either party seeks to
bring an individual action in court or seeks injunctive or other equitable
relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including,
without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets
or patents, you and Badikheti agree (a) to waive your and Badikheti’s respective rights to have any
and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Sites, Content
or Products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Badikheti’s rights to a jury trial.
Instead, you and Badi Kheti agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding
arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged
with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to
resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
You agree to only bring actions against Badikheti by way of such binding
arbitration and to not file any action in any state or federal court.
13.2 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions
or Representative Actions
You and Badikheti agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these
Terms or the Sites, Content or Products is personal to you and Badikheti and
that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and
will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of
representative proceeding. You and Badikheti agree that there will be no class
arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute
as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you
and Badikheti agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type
of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on
behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
13.3 Process
Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 8 or
Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small
claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged
unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation,
copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and
Badikheti agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Badikheti
within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying
claim is permanently barred (which means that you and Badikheti will no longer
have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and Badikheti
agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in India (b) arbitration will be
conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of
the local jurisdiction, which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c)
that the state or federal courts of local authorities, have exclusive
jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You
may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of
your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small
claims court.
13.4 Authority of
Arbitrator (TAKE LEGAL ADVICE FOR PROPER ACT NUMBERS AND ACTS]
As limited by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), these Terms
and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive
authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions
regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is
arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be
available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the
authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is
prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual
arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims,
preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any
proceeding involving more than one individual.
13.5 Rules of JAMS(TAKE
LEGAL ADVICE FOR PROPER ACT NUMBERS AND ACTS]
The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are
available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you
either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of
JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim
that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
In order to be effective, the
opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to
opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are
agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14.
14.
GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE [need to verify with legal advisors]
These Terms, your access to and
use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of the Products shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Gujarat, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the
State of Gujarat or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of
the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not
subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court shall be
resolved in the state or federal courts of Gujarat, India.
15.
TERMINATION
Notwithstanding anything
contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole
discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites and to order,
receive and use the Products, at any time and for any or no reason, and you
acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in
such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that
you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
16. SEVERABILITY
If any term, clause or provision
of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or
provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity
or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or
any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.
17. SURVIVAL
The following sections will
survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of
your Badi Kheti account: all defined terms and Sections 1, 3, 4, 5 (first
paragraph only), 6, 7, 8 (second paragraph only), 9 through 19.
18.
INTERNATIONAL USE
We make no representation that
information on this Site is appropriate, operational or available for use
outside India. Those who choose to access this Site from outside India do so on
their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and
to the extent local laws are applicable.
19. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms constitute the
entire agreement between you and Badikheti relating to your access to and use
of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of Products. These Terms, and any
rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by
you without the prior written consent of Badikheti. No waiver of any provision
of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior,
concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Badikheti’s failure to assert any right or
provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or
provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely
for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party
beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
