1. How Our Services Work

WeLaunchStores offers a Marketplace for customizing websites. We connect website and business owners (“Users”) who need to update their existing websites or other coding services, with web developers (“Developers”) who are able to make these updates for Users. For example, our Site can connect Users with a Developer who can, for example, insert a logo on a website, add social networking plug-ins, or update existing content.

Users can submit a project request for website updates – herein called a “Project” – with us and request through e-mail or our web service. A project is no longer than 1 hour in length which will be scoped at WeLaunchStores's discretion.

So that a Developer may Tweak your website as requested, and/or complete your Project, you must supply us with the appropriate login credentials for your website and permit Developers temporary access in order to complete your Project. Developers are not permitted to use your log-in credentials for any purposes other than to evaluate and complete the Tweaks or Project. You must have the authority to authorize WeLaunchStores and/or Developers to access your website in order to perform the requested services, or you may not submit a Project request.

WeLaunchStores reserves the right to reject any job that it deems out of scope for our service, this includes but is not limited to, issues with communicating the job.

2. Website Security

As noted above, Users must supply us with the appropriate login credentials for their website and permit Developers temporary access in order to complete their Project(s). We will store log-in credentials securely, and they are only shared with the Developer(s) to whom your Project is assigned. Developers are prohibited from sharing these log-in credentials and from using your log-in credentials for any purpose other than completing your Project. We will not share your log-in credentials with anyone, after your Project is fully completed. However, you should update your log-in credential after your Project is complete.

At all times, you are responsible for having adequate security in place on your website. You agree to immediately notify WeLaunchStores of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your WeLaunchStores account or any other breach of security. We are not be liable to any User for any loss or damage arising from User's failure to comply with the above requirements, including your failure to have in place adequate website security, or for any other User website vulnerabilities.

3. Backups

All Users are required to ensure that they maintain backups of their theme throughout development. WeLaunchStores makes an honest effort to duplicate and maintain backups within each store's Themes panel, however, it is at the User's own risk to delete them. It is mandatory that WeLaunchStores backups are kept in order to remain eligible for any of our guaranteed fixes.

WeLaunchStores cannot and will not liable for any loss of data to any User who fails to comply with this provision.

WeLaunchStores will provide a delivery time for all Express Projects, and will do its best to ensure that the delivery time is met. However, WeLaunchStores cannot guarantee that an Express Project will be completed within the stated delivery time. If an Express Project is not completed within the stated delivery time, WeLaunchStores will refund to User the amount of the Express fee; however, User will not be entitled to a refund of the remaining Project fee simply because the Project was not completed within the stated delivery time.

9. Purchases.

Once a User submits a Project, WeLaunchStores will provide that User with a quote, estimating the cost of completing that Project, based on the number of Tweaks involved; if you accept a Project quote, WeLaunchStores will charge you for the Project and will assign your Project to one or more Developers for completion. By submitting a Project and accepting an estimate you agree to pay all fees or charges, including any taxes, to your account for that Project, based on WeLaunchStores’s Project quote. Please note that, while we attempt to provide accurate quotes at the outset of a Project (based on the number of Tweaks a Project involves), additional information or requests regarding the scope of the Project may necessitate adding additional Tweaks to a Project, which may increase the estimated price. WeLaunchStores will inform Users of any increases to the Project quote; if you decline to pay for the increased cost, WeLaunchStores, in its discretion, may (i) complete (or instruct the Developer to complete) only the Project and Tweaks from the original quote; (ii) cancel the Project and refund your money, and, in its discretion, rollback (or instruct the Developer to rollback) any work already completed on the Project, restoring your website to its prior state (i.e., the state of the website prior to the initiation of the Project). If you do not pay on time or if WeLaunchStores cannot charge your credit card, PayPal or other payment method for any reason, WeLaunchStores reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to the Site and account, reject your Project, and terminate these Terms. You are expressly agreeing that WeLaunchStores is permitted to bill you for the applicable fees, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of this Site and the fees will be billed to your credit card, PayPal or other payment method designated on your initial registration with this Site, and thereafter at regular intervals for the remainder of the term of these Terms.

10. Refunds and Cancellations

The premise of our service is to offer on-going technical Shopify support, which is above the basic support offered by Shopify and Shopify theme and app partners. Please read our refund and cancellation policy. Delivery of the service stops the day the subscription is cancelled.

We ask that upon signing up, you agree to a 3 month minimum term. If you do not think you will need the service for more than a month, it's best to consider other support options. The quality and value we are able to deliver is optimal when customers are with us a minimum of 3 months.

Our 14 day risk-free guarantee is designed to make your decision to work with us a no-brainer. Here are the 3 conditions that must be true to be eligible for this guarantee:

1. The service is not what you expected after working with us

2. We’ve completed no more than 2 small tasks for you

3. You are within the first 14 days of your plan

If you cancel your subscription after the first 14 days, we will not be able to provide you with a partial/full refund. Upon cancelling your subscription, we would stop accepting tasks for your online store.

WeLaunchStores offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Users who are not satisfied with the outcome of a Project (the "Outcome"), must notify WeLaunchStores at hello@welaunchstores.com, within the timeframe set forth below.

Once a Project has been marked as "Built" by the assigned Developer(s), the User has forty-eight (48) hours to review the Project, and to mark it as "Complete," or to notify WeLaunchStores that it is not satisfied with the Project Outcome. If a User does not take any action within those forty-eight (48) hours, then the Project will automatically be marked as Complete. A User then has seven (7) days from the date a Project has been marked "Complete" to notify WeLaunchStores that it is not satisfied with the outcome of the Project. WeLaunchStores will not provide User any refund of the Project fee, if the User does not notify WeLaunchStores at hello@welaunchstores.com that it is not satisfied with the Project Outcome.

If a User notifies WeLaunchStores that it is not satisfied with the Project Outcome, in accordance with the timeframe set forth above, WeLaunchStores will either reopen the Project and rectify the situation, or will issue the User a full refund at the discretion of WeLaunchStores.com.

Once you have notified us that you are not satisfied with the Project Outcome, WeLaunchStores will take steps to address your complaints about the Project Outcome, including by asking the Developer who completed the work, or in our discretion a different Developer, to address your complaints regarding the Project Outcome. However, if after our attempts to address your complaints, you are still not satisfied with the Project Outcome, WeLaunchStores will issue you a full refund, and may, at its discretion, reverse or rollback, or direct the Developer to reverse or rollback, the work conducted pursuant to the Project and restore your website to its previous condition (before the Project was commenced).

24. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by contacting us at hello@welaunchstores.com This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and WeLaunchStores. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

Please read this Provision carefully. It provides that all Disputes between you and WeLaunchStores shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

For the purpose of this Provision, “WeLaunchStores” means WeLaunchStores and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and WeLaunchStores regarding any aspect of your relationship with WeLaunchStores, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as WeLaunchStores’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

We each agree that, except as provided below, any and all disputes, as defined above, whether presently in existence or based on acts or omissions in the past or in the future, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration rather than in court in accordance with this provision.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give WeLaunchStores an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to WeLaunchStores Inc, 48 Cambridge Street, Collingwood, Australia 3066. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If WeLaunchStores does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, you or WeLaunchStores may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) you opt-out of these arbitration procedures within 30 days from the date that you first consent to this agreement (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to WeLaunchStores Inc, 48 Cambridge Street, Collingwood, Australia 3066. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with WeLaunchStores through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with WeLaunchStores. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration (or small claims court as designated above).

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or WeLaunchStores may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Site and this Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or WeLaunchStores may initiate arbitration in either San Francisco, California or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes your billing address, WeLaunchStores may transfer the arbitration to Wilmington, Delaware in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – WeLaunchStores will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with WeLaunchStores as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and WeLaunchStores specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Site can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and WeLaunchStores are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and WeLaunchStores might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with WeLaunchStores or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if WeLaunchStores makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require WeLaunchStores to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.

25. Limited Time to Bring Claim

Where permitted by law, you and WeLaunchStores agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Site, and the services available through the Site, or any Site Materials must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

26. General.

California state law, the Federal Arbitration Act, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to this Agreement. Except for disputes subject to arbitration as described above, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California for resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site, including the services available through the Site. If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. WeLaunchStores’s failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and WeLaunchStores and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and WeLaunchStores about this Site. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
