If the Merchandise you select is not available by the time your order processes, we will remove the item or items and the corresponding charge(s) from your order. You can always confirm the current availability of Merchandise by calling evo’s Customer Care team at 1-866-386-1590.

12. Terms of Sale

By purchasing Merchandise through the Services, you agree to the terms set forth in this Section.

Eligibility. To complete your purchase, you must have a valid billing and shipping address within a country that can be selected as part of the checkout process on the Sites (the “Territory”). We make no promise that Merchandise available on the Sites are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the Territory.

Restrictions. The Merchandise are not authorized for resale. We may place a limit on the quantities that may be purchased per order, per account, per payment card, per person, or per household. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to refuse service to any customer or reject any order at any time and refund any money you have paid for such order.

Price.  Merchandise pricing on the Sites is stated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated, net of applicable taxes and shipping charges, if any. evo takes commercially reasonable steps to post current, accurate prices for the Merchandise. However, notwithstanding such steps, pricing errors may still occur. If an item’s price is displayed incorrectly, we will cancel your order for that item and alert you of the order cancellation. In addition, evo undertakes commercially reasonable steps to display true and accurate images, including colors, of the Merchandise on the Sites. Actual images and colors that render on your computer or device depend on a number of factors, including the capabilities and settings of your monitor or device, and may therefore not be accurate. Accordingly, evo does not guarantee the accuracy of the Merchandise images on the Sites. Taxes and shipping and handling costs will be added to the amount of your purchase and itemized on the checkout page. You will have an opportunity to review taxes and delivery costs before you confirm your purchase. All prices on the Sites are subject to change at any time without notice. We do not collect taxes on merchandise shipped to a jurisdiction in which we do not have substantial nexus, in which case you will be liable to the appropriate taxing authority for any sales taxes relating to your purchase from the Sites.

Payment. If you wish to make a transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your payment card number and its expiration date, your billing address, and your shipping information, to us or our payment processors. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a transaction. We may receive updated information from your issuing bank or our payment service provider about any payment method you have stored with us.  You authorize us to charge your payment method, including any updated payment method information we receive, for any charges you are responsible for under these Terms. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. You will pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Services, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all taxes and shipping and handling charges applicable to your transactions. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’’ fees and other legal expenses.

Order Confirmation; Acceptance. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address, payment method, and other details of your order. Although we may confirm orders by email, the receipt of an e-mail order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell Merchandise. We will display or send a notice when we ultimately accept your order, and our acceptance will be complete at the time we display or send the formal acceptance notice. Payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order.

Shipping; Delivery. Products will be shipped to an address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with the shipping restrictions set forth in these Terms of Use or otherwise contained on the Services. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. All transactions are made pursuant to a shipment contract and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Merchandise pass to you upon delivery of the Merchandise to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments. Any shipping dates provided are approximate and not guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

Order Delays; Cancellation. We reserve the right to delay, refuse, or cancel any order prior to delivery. For example, if there are errors on the Sites or made in connection with your order or inaccuracies in Merchandise or pricing information or Merchandise availability, we reserve the right to correct the error and charge you the correct price or cancel your order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of certain Merchandise may be delayed. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule.

21. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND EVO TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND EVO FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND EVO AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. EVO AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

(a)        Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Arbitration. For any dispute or claim that you have against evo, that evo has against you, or that you have or evo has arising from or relating to these Terms, our products or our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and evo as relates to these Terms, our products, or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims, (collectively, “Claims”, and each a “Claim”), you and evo agree to attempt to first resolve the Claim informally via the following process:

  • If you assert a Claim against evo, you will first contact evo by sending a written notice of your Claim (“Claimant Notice”) to evo by certified mail addressed to evo HQ, 401 N 36th St #200, Seattle, WA 98103 or by email to [email protected]. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.
  • If evo asserts a Claim against you, evo will first contact you by sending a written notice of evo’s Claim (“evo Notice”), and each of a Claimant Notice and evo Notice, a (“Notice”) to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The evo Notice must (i) include the name of an evo contact and the contact’s email address and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.
  • If you and evo cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within thirty (30) days after you or evo receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Claim to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or evo first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
(b)       Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions. Except for individual disputes that qualify for small claims court and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or evo, including any disputes in which you or evo seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or evo’s intellectual property or other infringement of your or evo’s intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”), all Claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 21(a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.

(c)        Federal Arbitration Act.  These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 21 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the AAA 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, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability.

(d)       Arbitration Procedure.  All Claims must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The AAA administers arbitration pursuant to the due process standards set forth by the AAA.
The then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available on the AAA’s website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows, will apply to any arbitration between you and evo:
  • YOU AND EVO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND EVO ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedure to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against evo or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individuals claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any procedding involving more than one individual.
  • For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and evo will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by evo, evo will pay all AAA fees and costs.
  • For all arbitrations where the Claims asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (i) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (ii) any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, and (iii) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination will be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.
  • If you or evo submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and evo agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and evo agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
  • The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
  • The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against evo or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated.
  • In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and evo understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against evo or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated resolution of your or evo’s Claim might be delayed. For such coordinated actions, you and evo also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for claimants and counsel for evo shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings. The remaining cases shall be deemed filed for purposes of the statute of limitations but not for the purpose of assessing AAA fees. No AAA fees shall be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process.  A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.
  • This bellwether process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. 
  • The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this bellwether process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your or evo’s case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. 
  • A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against evo or you.
(e)        One Year to Assert Claims.  To the extent permitted by law, any Claim by you or evo relating in any way to these Terms, our products or our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and evo as relates to these Terms, our products, or our Services, must be filed within one year after such Claim arises; otherwise, the Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and evo will not have the right to assert the Claim.

(f)        Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to evo HQ, 401 N 36th St #200, Seattle, WA 98103. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 22.

(g)       Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes.  You may reject any change we make to Section 21 (except address changes) by personally signing and sending us notice within 30 days of the change via email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to evo HQ, 401 N 36th St #200, Seattle, WA 98103. If you do, the most recent version of Section 20 before the change you rejected will apply.

(h)       Severability. If any portion of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 21 or the parties’’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 21; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 21 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 21 will be enforceable.

(i)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 21 of the Terms or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.


22. Governing Law

Any Claims will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any Claim is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 21, then the state and federal courts located in the County of King, Washington, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and evo waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.


23. Export Control

You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.   


24. Termination

Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms of Use, evo reserves the right, without notice and in its sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Sites, the Services, the Site Materials or any portion of any of the foregoing, and to block or prevent your future access to and use of the Sites or any of the Services or Site Materials.


25. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.


26. Miscellaneous

Evo’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms of Use reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms of Use are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. Communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
