TERMS OF SERVICE

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) for the Stanley® website and its Content, functionality, features, services, and technology (collectively, the “Site”) form a binding agreement between you and PMI WW Brands, LLC dba Stanley or, depending on where you are located and how you access our Site, one of our affiliates (“us”, “we” or the “Company”) governing your use of the Site and consumer purchases you make through the Site. Capitalized words in these Terms have the meanings given to them in these Terms. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY PRIOR TO USING THIS SITE. If you are a Canadian resident, and access the Site via our ca.stanley1913.com subdomain (“Canadian Site”), please see the section below titled “Additional Terms Applicable to Residents of Canada.” These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and all other policies, guidelines, and terms on the Site and applicable to your use of the Site or the Products we offer (“Policies”), constitute the entire agreement between us and you, and supersede all prior agreements, terms, conditions and understandings, both written and oral with respect to the Site. This agreement includes, among other things, a limitation on your rights and remedies, a requirement that – to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law – disputes between you and us be resolved individually, and a waiver of your ability to bring or participate in any class-action claim or class arbitration. By using the Site, creating an account, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms. Do not use this Site if you do not agree to the Terms.

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting notice of the revised terms on the Site, and such posting will constitute notice to you of the revisions. We may also, in our discretion, notify you of changes via email to any address you’ve provided us. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of a notice regarding revised terms (or following the stated effective date of the revised terms, if later) constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the revised terms, you may not continue to use the Site.

We may offer features or programs – such as an affiliate or referral program – that are operated by a third-party service provider. If you participate in any such program we offer, your participation may be subject to additional terms that govern your participation and the relationship between you and our third-party service provider.

You may not use the Site if you are under 18 or the applicable age of majority in your location. You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor), and that, if you are using the Site on behalf of a business or organization, you are authorized to enter into binding agreements on behalf of that business or organization. If you are using the Site on behalf of a business or organization, “you” refers equally to any user representing that business or organization.

5.   PURCHASES AND PAYMENTS

  • Consumer purchases of products offered on the Site (“Products”) are subject to these Terms and all Policies. You may purchase Products from the Site solely for your personal use, and not for commercial use or for resale. You must have a valid payment method and a ship-to address within the United States and its territories (or, for users of our Canadian Site (as described below in the section titled ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR CANADIAN USERS), in Canada) in order to purchase Product(s). We attempt to be as accurate as possible in describing Products on the Site. However, we do not warrant that descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. We cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items on the Site may be mispriced.

  • We work with third parties to provide certain functionality for the Site, including payment processing when you pay for a Product.

You should review their privacy notices and conditions of use. You agree to pay all product charges, shipping charges and sales tax incurred in connection with your purchase of Product(s). Please see our Refund Policy for Product returns information.

When we issue a refund or credit, we reserve the right to deduct a processing fee.

  • Any waiver of any provision of these Terms by Company must be in writing and signed by an officer of Company.

We may assign, subcontract, delegate, and transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party. You may not assign or transfer your User Account or any of your rights and obligations under these Terms.

All of the Company’s rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity.

 

  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any portion of the Site or to otherwise deny you access to the Site at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice, and we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension, or termination of the Site.

We terminate the access to and use of the Site for identified accounts of repeat infringers.
