We alert you before each delivery or any problems with your account, making it easy for you to keep track of your subscriptions.

ORDER CANCELLATIONS
AND REFUNDS
Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to our Return Policy.
Due to the typically short timeframe between order placement and fulfillment, it is difficult to make changes once your order has been placed.
Please contact us within three business days after receiving your order if something is wrong with your order. For incorrect items shipped, we will offer a replacement or refund. Shipping charges will be refunded only if the incorrect item is shipped. We do not accept returns.

If you cancel an order promptly, or if we cancel your order, your payment type (e.g., credit card) will either not be charged or, if already submitted for payment processing, a refund will be issued to the original payment type via our payment processor (refunds may take several business days to appear in your account).
If the item you want to cancel has been shipped, it cannot be canceled by you or by our Customer Service Department. Surf Sweets is not responsible for refunding a customer for unwanted products after being shipped from the Surf Sweets shipping facility.
We ship within 1-3 business days and we cannot control the speed of the delivery once it is with the logistics partner, so we cannot cancel orders simply because they were delayed in transit, or if events/holidays were missed.
We have made every effort to display the colors and images of our products that appear at the store as accurately as possible. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be accurate.

We will present an estimate of Taxes to be collected at checkout, except where we have clearly stated in writing that a price includes Taxes. The actual Taxes charged and collected may differ from the amount shown at checkout. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.
Sales Taxes will be collected for orders that ship to Utah at the applicable state tax rates.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH SURF SWEETS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Surf Sweets seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or conflicts in which you or Surf Sweets seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Surf Sweets waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Salt Lake County, Utah, or by a telephonic conference in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules“) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS“), which are available on the JAMS website and as a result of this incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or 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.
You and Surf Sweets agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Surf Sweets and that any 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 Surf Sweets agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA“), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and 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. You and Surf Sweets agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee, and Surf Sweets will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. Surf Sweets will pay all JAMS fees and expenses for any arbitration initiated by Surf Sweets. You and Surf Sweets agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Utah and the United States sitting in Salt Lake City, Utah, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the lawsuit is permanently barred, which means that you and Surf Sweets will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt-out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 17 by providing written notice to:
Surf Sweets
Attn: Legal Department
3780 West Directors Row Salt Lake City, UT 84104
To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and indicate your intent to opt-out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you agree to resolve Disputes.
GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Utah, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Utah 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 will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Utah and the United States, respectively, sitting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
