Terms of service
Last Updated: April 8, 2026
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," "User," "Customer") and Mint & Lily, a brand owned and operated by Fanrock, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mint & Lily," "Company," "we," "us," "our"). By accessing, browsing, or using the website located at mintandlily.com (the "Site"), placing an order, checking the agreement box, clicking "Place Order," or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver in Section 15, and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SITE AND NOT PLACE ANY ORDERS.
1.1 Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion, by posting the revised Terms on the Site with an updated "Last Updated" date. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. For material changes — including changes to the dispute resolution provisions in Section 15, the limitation of liability in Section 14, or the warranty provisions in Section 8 — we will provide at least thirty (30) days' notice before such changes take effect by posting a notice on the Site or by email to the address associated with your account. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site.
1.2 Electronic Agreement
By accessing or using the Site, clicking any "I Agree," "I Accept," "Place Order," or similar button, or checking any acceptance box, you are signing these Terms electronically and creating a legally binding contract. You acknowledge and agree that your electronic acceptance has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN Act"), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA"), and any applicable state law governing electronic signatures.
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater) to access or use the Site or place orders. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. If you are accessing the Site on behalf of a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
3. PRODUCTS AND ORDERS
3.1 Product Descriptions
We attempt to be as accurate as possible in our product descriptions and images. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, colors, or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may not exactly replicate the appearance of the actual product. Personalized and custom products may vary due to the nature of the materials and customization processes.
3.2 Order Acceptance
Your placement of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or reject any order for any reason, including but not limited to product availability, errors in pricing or product information, or suspected fraudulent activity. An order confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order; acceptance occurs only when the product is shipped.
3.3 Personalized Products
Due to the custom nature of personalized products, all sales of personalized items are final unless the item is defective or materially different from what was ordered. Customization errors caused by information you provide (e.g., misspellings, incorrect dates) are not eligible for return or exchange.
3.4 Resale Prohibition
Products sold on the Site are intended for personal use only. You may not resell, commercially distribute, or offer for resale any products purchased from the Site without the prior written consent of Mint & Lily. We reserve the right to cancel orders and refuse service to any person or entity we reasonably suspect is purchasing products for unauthorized resale. The Five-Year Limited Warranty in Section 8 does not apply to items obtained through unauthorized resale channels.
3.5 Automated Purchasing Restrictions
You may not use any automated means — including bots, scripts, spiders, crawlers, or any other automated device, program, algorithm, or technology — to access, monitor, copy, scrape, or place orders on the Site. We reserve the right to cancel any orders placed using automated means without notice and to ban any accounts associated with such activity.
3.6 AI-Generated and AI-Enhanced Content
Mint & Lily uses a combination of traditional photography and artificial intelligence tools in the creation of product images, marketing materials, and other visual content displayed on the Site and in our advertisements. Specifically:
(a) Product images displayed on the Site may be created, enhanced, or modified using AI-powered tools, including but not limited to background generation or removal, lighting and color adjustment, composition, image upscaling, and other digital editing techniques. These enhancements are intended to present our products accurately and attractively but may result in minor visual differences between the image and the actual product. See Section 3.1 for additional product description disclaimers.
(b) Model and human imagery. Some images on the Site or in our advertising may depict AI-generated or AI-enhanced representations of human models, including partial depictions such as hands, wrists, necklines, or other body parts, used to showcase how products appear when worn. These images may be wholly AI-generated, composited from multiple sources, or digitally altered from original photography. Such imagery may constitute a "synthetic performer" as defined under applicable law.
(c) Disclosure. Where required by applicable law — including New York General Business Law Article 22-A (S. 8420, effective June 2026) and any similar federal, state, or local laws enacted thereafter — Mint & Lily will conspicuously disclose the use of AI-generated synthetic performers in advertising content. The absence of a specific disclosure on any particular image does not constitute a representation that the image was created without the use of AI tools.
(d) No reliance. You acknowledge that visual content on the Site — whether created through traditional photography, AI generation, AI enhancement, or a combination thereof — is provided for illustrative and promotional purposes only. You agree not to rely on any visual content as an exact representation of product appearance, scale, color, or material composition. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mint & Lily disclaims all liability arising from visual differences between AI-generated or AI-enhanced imagery and actual products received.
(e) Dispute resolution. Any disputes, claims, or controversies arising from or relating to our use of AI-generated or AI-enhanced content, including claims under state or federal AI disclosure laws, shall be subject to the mandatory arbitration, class action waiver, and dispute resolution provisions in Section 15 of these Terms.
4. PRICING, PAYMENT, AND VALUE REPRESENTATIONS
4.1 Pricing
All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. The price in effect when you complete your purchase is the price you pay. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time and to cancel orders placed at incorrect prices, even after an order confirmation has been sent.
4.2 Direct-to-Consumer Model
Mint & Lily operates as a direct-to-consumer brand, which eliminates traditional retail intermediaries and their associated markups. This business model allows us to offer products at prices that may be lower than those charged by traditional jewelry retailers for comparable items.
4.3 Comparison Pricing
To the extent any comparison prices, "retail value" estimates, "compare at" prices, discount claims, or similar value representations appear on the Site, such representations are our good-faith estimates of what comparable products might cost through traditional retail channels, based on our market research of similar jewelry products. These comparison prices:
(a) Are NOT our former selling prices for the same product;
(b) Are NOT manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP);
(c) Are NOT guaranteed prevailing prices at any specific retailer;
(d) May not reflect actual current prices at any specific retailer at any particular time;
(e) Are estimates based on our assessment of the traditional retail jewelry market and are inherently approximate; and
(f) Are provided solely for general reference purposes.
Pricing methodologies and comparison bases may vary across products and are subject to change without notice. Mint & Lily expressly disclaims any liability arising from reliance on pricing representations, comparison pricing, or value claims.
4.4 No Price Matching or Adjustments
We do not offer: price matching with other retailers; price matching with our own prior pricing; post-purchase price adjustments or retroactive credits; or credits or refunds based on subsequent promotional offers.
4.5 Taxes and Fees
Applicable sales tax, use tax, or other governmental charges will be added to your order as required by law. Shipping fees, if any, will be disclosed prior to checkout.
4.6 Dispute Resolution for Pricing Claims
ANY DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO OUR PRICING, COMPARISON PRICES, VALUE REPRESENTATIONS, ADVERTISING CLAIMS, SAVINGS CLAIMS, OR PROMOTIONAL REPRESENTATIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS IN SECTION 15 OF THESE TERMS. Claims relating to pricing must be filed within one (1) year of purchase, even if your jurisdiction's statute of limitations would otherwise allow a longer period, except where such limitation is prohibited by the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction. This provision is subject to and consistent with the general limitations period set forth in Section 18.
5. PRODUCT MATERIALS AND COMPOSITION
5.1 Material Representations
Product descriptions may reference materials such as gold, silver, rose gold, stainless steel, gemstones, cubic zirconia, and other materials. These descriptions reflect the materials as represented by our suppliers and manufacturing partners. We make commercially reasonable efforts to verify material composition but cannot independently assay or certify every individual product.
5.2 Material Disclaimer
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ACTUAL MATERIAL COMPOSITION, PURITY, OR QUALITY MAY DIFFER FROM MARKETING MATERIALS. We disclaim all liability for discrepancies in metal purity, stone authenticity, gemstone treatments, material origin, hypoallergenic properties, or other specifications. We are not liable for damages arising from material issues, including but not limited to allergic reactions, skin irritation, diminished value, or emotional distress.
5.3 Allergies and Sensitivities
Jewelry may contain metals, coatings, or materials that can cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivities in some individuals. It is your responsibility to review product materials before purchasing. We are not liable for allergic reactions or skin irritation resulting from the use of our products.
6. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Estimated delivery times are provided for informational purposes only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, or other events beyond our reasonable control. Risk of loss and title for products purchased on the Site pass to you upon delivery to the carrier.
7. RETURNS AND REFUNDS
Returns and refunds are governed by our Return Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference and available on the Site. Personalized items are subject to the limitations described in Section 3.3.
8. PRODUCT WARRANTIES AND FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
8.1 General Disclaimer
ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY MINT & LILY ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, LONGEVITY, OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE.
8.2 Five-Year Limited Warranty Coverage
Mint & Lily offers a Five-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturing defects only. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship that arise under normal use conditions and extends for a period of five (5) years from the original date of purchase. Proof of purchase may be required to make a warranty claim.
8.3 Sole Remedy
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mint & Lily's sole and exclusive obligation under the Five-Year Limited Warranty shall be limited to: repair of the product, replacement with the same or a comparable product, or issuance of store credit, at Mint & Lily's sole discretion. Cash refunds are not provided under the Five-Year Limited Warranty.
8.4 Warranty Exclusions
The Five-Year Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) normal wear and tear, including tarnishing, fading, scratching, or chain stretching; (b) damage resulting from misuse, abuse, accident, or negligence; (c) damage from exposure to water, chemicals, lotions, perfumes, or cleaning agents; (d) unauthorized modifications, repairs, or alterations; (e) lost, stolen, or misplaced items; (f) cosmetic changes that do not affect functionality; (g) damage caused by improper storage; or (h) items purchased from unauthorized resellers or third-party marketplaces.
8.5 Warranty Claims Deadline
Any warranty claim must be initiated within one (1) year after the alleged defect was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, regardless of any longer period permitted by statute, except where prohibited by law.
8.6 Jurisdictional Savings Clause
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the limitations and exclusions set forth in these Terms shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

13. ACCESSIBILITY
13.1 Commitment to Accessibility
Mint & Lily is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to the Site. Our full Accessibility Statement, including our current conformance status and known limitations, is available via the link in the Site footer.
13.2 Accessibility Standards and Auditing
We endeavor to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). To support this commitment, we periodically engage qualified third-party consultants to audit the Site's accessibility and implement recommended improvements. We maintain an ongoing accessibility improvement plan and regularly update the Site to address identified issues.
13.3 Feedback, Accommodation Requests, and Pre-Suit Notice Requirement
If you experience any difficulty accessing any part of the Site or require an accommodation, please contact us at support@mintandlily.com with "Accessibility" in the subject line, or by mail at the address provided in Section 20. We take accessibility concerns seriously and will make commercially reasonable efforts to respond to your request within fifteen (15) business days and to implement any necessary remediation within a reasonable timeframe. If you need assistance placing an order, we will work to provide the information or functionality you need through an alternative method.
IMPORTANT — PRE-SUIT NOTICE AND CURE REQUIREMENT: Before initiating any legal action, regulatory complaint, or demand related to the accessibility of the Site, you agree to provide Mint & Lily with written notice identifying the specific accessibility barrier(s) encountered, sent to both support@mintandlily.com (with "Accessibility" in the subject line) and legal@fanrock.com, and to allow Mint & Lily at least sixty (60) days from receipt of such notice to investigate and cure the identified barrier(s). Mint & Lily's preferred method for resolving accessibility concerns is structured negotiation — a collaborative, non-adversarial dispute resolution process. If we are unable to resolve your concern through structured negotiation within the cure period, you may then pursue any available legal remedy, subject to the dispute resolution provisions in Section 15.
13.4 Third-Party Content
While we strive to adhere to accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the Site, particularly with respect to content or functionality provided or controlled by third parties (such as payment processors, social media widgets, or embedded content). We welcome your feedback regarding any accessibility issues you encounter.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
14.1 Exclusion of Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MINT & LILY, FANROCK, INC., OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS, MANUFACTURERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF MINT & LILY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:
(a) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SITE;
(b) ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE;
(c) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SITE;
(d) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SITE;

(h) DISCREPANCIES IN PRODUCT MATERIAL COMPOSITION, PURITY, OR QUALITY; OR
(i) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SITE OR PRODUCTS.
14.2 Cap on Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MINT & LILY, FANROCK, INC., AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO MINT & LILY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
14.3 Basis of the Bargain
THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN MINT & LILY AND YOU. THE SITE AND PRODUCTS WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.
14.4 Applicability
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, MINT & LILY'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION — MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. IT ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
15.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you agree to first contact Mint & Lily at legal@fanrock.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of such contact, either party may proceed as set forth below.
15.2 Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, any products purchased through the Site, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator shall apply Delaware law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.
15.3 Arbitration Procedures and Delegation
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable (the "Delegation Clause"). This Delegation Clause is intended to be severable from the remainder of this arbitration agreement and shall survive any determination that any other portion of this arbitration agreement is invalid or unenforceable, consistent with the framework established in Rent-A-Center, West, Inc. v. Jackson, 561 U.S. 63 (2010). The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including injunctive relief.
15.4 Arbitration Fees, Costs, and Attorneys' Fees
For claims of $10,000 or less, Mint & Lily will pay all AAA filing and arbitrator fees except the initial filing fee required by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. In any arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and costs to the prevailing party if the arbitrator determines that the non-prevailing party's claim or defense was frivolous, brought for an improper purpose, or not supported by a good-faith argument for the application, extension, modification, or reversal of existing law (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1927). If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the payment of all arbitration fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules.
15.5 CLASS ACTION WAIVER
YOU AND MINT & LILY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Mint & Lily agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, or collective proceeding.
Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you specifically waive any right to bring or participate in a representative action under the California Private Attorneys General Act (California Labor Code §§ 2698–2699.8) ("PAGA") or any similar state statute. To the extent that this PAGA waiver is found unenforceable, any PAGA claim shall be severed and stayed pending resolution of all individual claims in arbitration, consistent with the framework established in Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana, 596 U.S. 639 (2022). This PAGA-specific provision shall be severable from the remainder of the class action waiver.
If the class action waiver set forth in this Section 15.5 (other than the PAGA-specific provision above) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 (other than this sentence) shall be null and void and the dispute shall proceed in court subject to Section 16.
15.6 Mass Arbitration Protocols
If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are filed against Mint & Lily within a sixty (60) day period, or if counsel for claimants files or threatens to file twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands, this shall be considered a "Mass Arbitration." In such event: (a) all claimants' counsel and Mint & Lily shall cooperate to select ten (10) bellwether cases for initial arbitration; (b) the remaining cases shall be stayed pending resolution of the bellwether cases; (c) the parties shall engage in a mediation of all remaining cases within thirty (30) days after the bellwether decisions; and (d) if mediation is unsuccessful, the remaining cases shall proceed in batches of no more than twenty-five (25) at a time. In the event of a Mass Arbitration, each individual claimant's arbitration fees shall be governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules.
15.7 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights. Additionally, claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court may be brought in such court.
15.8 Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@fanrock.com within thirty (30) days of first accessing the Site or making your first purchase (whichever occurs first). Your notice must include your name, mailing address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, neither you nor Mint & Lily will be required to arbitrate, but all other provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.
15.9 Survival
This Section 15 shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Site.
15.10 Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND MINT & LILY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN US, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION 15 IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR DISPUTE. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH PARTY HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL REGARDING THIS WAIVER.
15.11 Confidentiality of Arbitration
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding — including but not limited to the filing, proceedings, discovery, testimony, documents, briefs, the arbitrator's decision and award, and any settlement — shall be kept strictly confidential. Neither party shall disclose any information about the arbitration to any third party, except as may be required by law, to enforce the arbitrator's award, or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. This confidentiality obligation shall survive the conclusion of the arbitration.
16. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
16.1 Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, or any products purchased through the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions in Section 15.
16.2 Exclusive Jurisdiction
Subject to Section 15 (Dispute Resolution), you agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware. You hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise.
17. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mint & Lily, Fanrock, Inc., their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expert witness fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of, or inability to use, the Site; (b) any products purchased through the Site; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any rights of a third party; (e) your violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (f) your User Submissions; or (g) any content or information you provide or transmit through the Site. You shall provide Mint & Lily with prompt written notice of any claim subject to indemnification, provided that failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve you of your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure. Mint & Lily reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. You agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of Mint & Lily. The obligations in this Section shall not apply to the extent a claim arises solely from Mint & Lily's gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Site.
18. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. This limitations period applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and shall not be construed to shorten any longer limitations period required by a statute that prohibits contractual modification of its limitations period.
19. GENERAL PROVISIONS
19.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Return Policy, and any other legal notices or policies published by Mint & Lily on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mint & Lily concerning the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and representations, whether electronic, oral, or written.
19.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (or, if modification is not possible, eliminated), and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
19.3 Waiver
The failure of Mint & Lily to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Mint & Lily.
19.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Mint & Lily's prior written consent.
