Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies; Limitations on Quantity; Returns; Risk of Loss
- The information on this site may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability and services. We therefore reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice (including after an order or shipping confirmation) and with no further obligations to you. We also reserve the right to limit quantities (including after you have submitted your order). In the event of an error, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that item. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase you may return it in accordance with the terms of our Return Policy. The risk of loss and title to items purchased from Fingerhut pass to the purchaser upon our delivery to the carrier.
We do not offer additional discounts on large orders of a single item or on large orders of many individual items. In addition, we reserve the right to limit quantities on orders placed by the same account, on orders placed by the same credit card, and on orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to prohibit purchases of any merchandise to resellers. Resellers are defined as a company or an individual who purchases goods with the intention of selling them rather than using them.
Right to Terminate
- Fingerhut may limit, suspend, or terminate your account or discontinue your use of this Site if you violate these Terms of Use or if you use this Site in a way that causes legal liability to us or disrupts others’ use of this Site. Fingerhut may also limit, suspend, or terminate your account or discontinue your use of this Site at Fingerhut’s sole discretion.
Disputes
- Any and all claims or disputes relating in any way to your use past, present or future use of this Site, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Fingerhut through this Site, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
For all claims or disputes, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to the following mailing address: 6250 Ridgewood Rd., St. Cloud, MN 56303. We each agree to negotiate with each other in good faith about your claim. If we do not resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive this claim description, you may pursue your claim in arbitration. You may pursue your claim in a court only under the circumstances described in the paragraph above.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent CT Corporation System Inc., 100 South 5th Street, Suite 1075, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, specifically the “Consumer Arbitration Rules,” which may be found at www.adr.org, by referencing the “Rules & Forms” tab at the top of the page, by clicking on this link, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Fingerhut will not seek attorneys' fees and costs, those available under applicable law, in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
