Where two shipments are required due to a Product in an order being out of stock, Sunrise Apothecary agrees to pay for the additional shipping expense.

You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the Sunrise Apothecary Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your use of the Sunrise Apothecary Services and use of any Products you are receiving and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by Sunrise Apothecary relating to such Sunrise Apothecary Services or Products.
You agree that some Products may carry inherent risk, and by using such Products, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your use of such Products.
The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12. Liability
THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING QUEBEC’S CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MIGHT NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Sunrise Apothecary Platform and Sunrise Apothecary Content, delivery of any Products to you, availability of any Products, and use of any Products remains entirely with you. Neither Sunrise Apothecary nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Sunrise Apothecary Platform, Sunrise Apothecary Content or the Products will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Sunrise Apothecary Platform, Sunrise Apothecary Content or any Products, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Customers or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the Sunrise Apothecary Platform, or (iv) from your provision or use of any Products by you, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Sunrise Apothecary has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to refund amounts to applicable Customers pursuant to these Terms, in no event will Sunrise Apothecary’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Sunrise Apothecary Platform including, but not limited to the use of or inability to use the Sunrise Apothecary Platform or Sunrise Apothecary Content and in connection with any Products exceed the aggregate amount you have paid for such order made via the Sunrise Apothecary Platform or one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable.

14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
14.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Sunrise Apothecary is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals that bring any claim against Sunrise Apothecary: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Sunrise Apothecary, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by The ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (“ADRIC”) using its Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 17).
14.2 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Sunrise Apothecary each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Sunrise Apothecary by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules (available at www.adric.ca/rules-codes/).
14.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Sunrise Apothecary mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, any other terms applicable to you or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Sunrise Apothecary Platform, the Products or the Sunrise Apothecary Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Sunrise Apothecary agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
14.4 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Sunrise Apothecary each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
14.5 Modification to ADRIC Arbitration Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Sunrise Apothecary agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in Calgary, Alberta; (b) in any other location to which you and Sunrise Apothecary both agree; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by using the Simplified Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.
14.6 Modification of ADRIC Arbitration Rules – Legal Fees and Costs. You and Sunrise Apothecary agree that Sunrise Apothecary will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AIDRIC Arbitration Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $50,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of legal fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the Arbitration Rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, Sunrise Apothecary agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the Arbitration Rules, to recover legal fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
14.7 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
14.8 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Sunrise Apothecary acknowledge and agree that all Disputes that may arise are likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, we each irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right to a trial by jury as to all Disputes. You acknowledge that you (a) have considered and understood the implications of this waiver, (b) have made this waiver knowingly and voluntarily, and (c) have been induced to enter into these Terms by, among other things, the mutual waivers and acknowledgments in this Section.
14.9 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Sunrise Apothecary acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class Customer in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Sunrise Apothecary both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 17.9 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute, and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 17.9 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, that waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and Sunrise Apothecary agree that any representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
14.10 Severability. Except as provided in Section 17.9, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
14.11 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if Sunrise Apothecary changes this Section 17 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Sunrise Apothecary (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Sunrise Apothecary.
14.12 Survival. Except as provided in Section 17.10 and subject to Section 13.8, this Section 17 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Sunrise Apothecary Platform or terminate your Sunrise Apothecary Account.
15. Feedback
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Sunrise Apothecary Platform (“Feedback“). You may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the “Contact” section of the Sunrise Apothecary Platform, or by other means of communication.
