Terms of Sale

Date of Last Update: February 22, 2019 (“Revised Date”)

These terms of sale (the “Terms”) apply to all orders accepted by Authentic Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (“ARC”) for the sale of its coaching and speaking services and software products (the “Products”), except in the case that you and ARC have executed a written agreement that supersedes these Terms.  To the extent the Products contain or consist of software in any form (“Product Software”), such Product Software is licensed to you, not sold, and only in accordance with the section below entitled “Software License” and the ARC Product Software License Agreement.  Terms such as “sell” and “purchase,” as used in these Terms, apply only to the extent the Products consist of items other than Product Software.

Orders

ARC will ask you for your name, phone number, e-mail address, billing address and other information so we can fulfill your order.  When you place an order and unless other payment arrangements are agreed upon, ARC will collect your credit card details and charge your credit card account in connection with the order. By doing so, you agree to make all applicable payments in connection with any order placed by you, including automatic renewals at the end of each term.

If you are logged into your ARC account when you purchase something, we associate that order with your ARC account.  For more information on ARC’s data use practices please see the ARC’s Privacy Policy.

By placing an order with ARC, you agree that: (i) any credit card information supplied by you is true and complete; and (ii) you will pay the applicable price listed and applicable taxes, and (iii) you agree to automatic renewals at the end of each term until termination notice is received.

Free or Discounted Trials

All free and/or discounted trials placed via any ARC Site will be subject to the same terms as Orders above. Free and/or Discounted Trials automatically convert into auto-renewal orders at the end of the free/discounted trial period unless the user cancels their Plan via the cancellation link provided on the “My Account”, page, accessible after logging in to the https://app.clickBACON.com Website.

Pricing

ARC can withdraw Products at any time and for any reason. Prices listed are stated in U.S. dollars, and do not include any handling charges or applicable taxes.  All handling charges and taxes will be communicated to you before you place an order and you are responsible for paying such charges and taxes to ARC. You agree to indemnify and hold ARC harmless from and against any liabilities, interest, penalties or fees assessed against ARC arising from your failure to pay any such taxes and charges.  All Product prices are subject to change at any time, in our sole discretion.

Acceptance and Fulfillment

All orders are subject to acceptance by ARC.  ARC, in its sole discretion, reserves the right not to accept your order for any reason or no reason.

FEES

3.1 Subscription Terms

ARC offers a range of subscription plans to its Products.  As an express condition of your use of and access to the Products, you agree to pay all fees applicable to your subscription plan (your “Plan”), any other fees for additional Products you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of the Products. To view the specific details of your Plan, including pricing information and the commencement date of your next renewal period (see section 3.3 Payment of Fees below), email support@therestaurantboss.com.

3.2 Changes in Fees

We may, upon any notice required by applicable law, change the fees for the Products at any time or require new fees or charges. Such changes will be effective immediately upon posting on Our Website; provided, however, that such fee changes will be effective only as to prospective Products orders (including renewals) accepted by ARC after the effective date of such change. Please be aware that any discounts applicable to initial/previous purchases/subscriptions may not apply to renewed purchases/subscriptions.

3.3 Payment of Fees

Your Plan, which may start with a Free or Discounted Trial Period, will renew automatically and continue month-to-month or year-to-year (depending on your Plan) unless and until you cancel your Plan or we terminate it, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (see Section 3.6 (Account Cancellation) and Section 12 (Term and Termination). You must cancel your Plan before it renews in order to avoid fees due under the next billing cycle. To view the specific details of your Plan, including pricing information and the commencement date of your next renewal period, email support@therestaurantboss.com.

We will bill the fees due under your Plan to the credit card you provide to us during registration (or to a different credit card if you change your payment information). You acknowledge that the amount billed for each renewal period may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your Plan, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to bill you the corresponding amounts.

We reserve the right to deactivate your access to the Service for failure to pay applicable fees as described in this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are stated in U.S. Dollars.

3.4 Credit Card Payments

All fees for your Plan will be billed to your credit card. You authorize the card issuer to pay any amounts described herein and in your Plan and authorize us (or a billing agent acting on our behalf) to continue charging all such amounts to your credit card account until you or we cancel or terminate your Plan as provided herein or these amounts are paid in full, whichever is later. You must provide current, complete and accurate billing and credit card information. You must promptly update all billing information (such as billing address, card number and expiration date) to keep your account current, complete and accurate, and you must promptly notify ARC if your credit card is lost or stolen, or if you become aware of a potential breach of security (such as an unauthorized disclosure or use of your username or password). You authorize us to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates for your credit card in the event that the credit card you provided us expires. We reserve the right to charge any renewal card issued to you as a replacement. If payment is not received from your credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. You agree to pay all costs of collection, including attorney’s fees and costs, on any outstanding balance. In certain instances, the issuer of your credit card may charge you a foreign transaction fee or related charges, which you will be responsible to pay. Please check with your bank and credit card issuer for details.

3.5 Payment Terms, Refunds, and Upgrade and Downgrade Terms

  1. The fees for your Products or Plan are billed in advance, are non-refundable, and automatically renew on a monthly or annual basis, as specified in your Plan.

Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute between you and ARC arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, the Products or any other ARC products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law:  These Terms and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Dispute Resolution:  We want to address your concerns without the need of a formal legal case.  Before filing a claim against ARC, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting support@therestaurantboss.com.  We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or ARC may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate:  You and ARC agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate:  You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting support@therestaurantboss.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Fees:  The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate:  Either you or ARC may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Williamson County, Texas.  Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Products, ARC services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions:  You may only resolve Disputes with ARC on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.  Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement and these Terms.

Limitation on Claims:  Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your purchase, license and use of the Products or ARC services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

General Provisions

The parties expressly disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any order accepted by ARC hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without ARC’s express prior written consent.  Any attempt to do so, without ARC’s consent, will be null and of no effect. ARC may freely assign these Terms.

ARC will not be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under these Terms due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain energy, raw materials or supplies, war, terrorism, riot, or acts of God.

The failure by ARC to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between ARC and you regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous quotations, agreements, communications or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.  Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of each party.
