Warranty

• This warranty is valid for the duration of the original purchaser’s lifetime 
• Manufacturing defects including materials, components, or workmanship at the time of receipt
• Materials and components refer to zippers, buckles, and fabrics, etc. Workmanship refers to seams and construction. 
• Takeya USA’s sole obligation under its warranties, and at its sole discretion, is to repair or replace the product. 

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY?

• Improper use or misuse of the product
• Damage or defect caused by cleaning, disassembly, alterations, or modifications.
• Any product which has been modified or repaired by anyone other than Takeya USA.
• Damage due to normal wear and tear such as rips, tears, abrasions or UV degradation, misuse, fire, natural disasters, or neglect is not covered under our warranty policy.
• If a product is damaged during flight, transport or by any carrier, you must immediately report such damage directly to the transport operator or carrier, as this damage is not covered by Takeya USA. 
• Takeya USA is not responsible for loss, damage or cost resulting from the use or loss of our products. 
• This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or the natural breakdown of colors and materials over extended time and use. “Normal wear and tear” generally mean the wear and tear caused by the expected use of the bag/sling over an extended period. If the fabric is discolored, degraded, de-laminated or deteriorated, we may determine this to be the end of “product life”. If a major component fails due to extended use, we may deem the product to have met its full life cycle.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH SERVICE

If you feel Takeya has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may attempt to resolve the issue informally with Takeya. If you are unable to resolve the issue informally and wish to file a formal claim against Takeya you must submit your claim to binding arbitration according to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies. Submitting a claim to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right to have your claim heard by a judge or jury, either individually or a part of a class of consumers. Instead your claim will be heard by a neutral arbitrator. 

BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, OR THE AFFECTED PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty may concern a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act may apply.

To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and Takeya, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point Takeya will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses.

The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase. The place of arbitration will be Orange County, California, or your county of residence. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor Takeya nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and Takeya.

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. TAKEYA AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.

EXCEPTIONS TO BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify Takeya in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the Product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to Takeya at 270 East Baker St E Suite 200, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Attn: Takeya Customer Service; and (3) your written notification must include (a) your name, (b) your address, (c) the date you purchased the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver. In addition, you may pursue an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence or in Orange County, California. In such case the provisions of the section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver” will not apply, but the rules and limitations of the small claims court shall apply.
