Please read these Terms carefully. By (i) visiting, accessing, or otherwise using in any way the Sites (the "Services"), or (ii) by ordering, purchasing, receiving or using any products or services offered by Christeli through the Sites or a Third Party Seller (the "Products"), you agree to these Terms as well as any other terms, guidelines or rules that apply to any portion of the Sites without limitation or qualification.

YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms, except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review Section XVII (Dispute resolution) for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Christeli.

VIII. Fees and payments, shipping, In-home setup & Third Party Seller purchases

Prices for the Products may be displayed in US dollars or in local currency, depending on the location from which you purchase the Products. Any applicable taxes will be communicated to you before you place an order. There is no charge for shipping of Products unless otherwise indicated.

You may also finance your purchase of Products through Affirm (in the United States) as detailed on the payment screen.
 
In-home setup: For in-home setup and mattress removal, a customer or adult must be present at the scheduled time and delivery address. If no adult is present at the time of delivery, Christeli reserves the right to leave the package with a secure receiving authority (e.g., doorman, concierge, or building package center). All mattresses removed using Christeli’s in-home setup must be in sanitary condition. In-home setup fees are final and will not be refunded in the event you return any of the Products.
 
Third Party Seller purchases: Christeli may offer certain of its Products through Third Party Sellers. Christeli does not control any Third Party Seller, and your order, purchase, receipt or use of any Product provided by any Third Party Seller is a transaction solely between you and such Third Party Seller. Each Third Party Seller may have their own terms, guidelines or rules independent of these Terms, and you are fully responsible for reviewing and abiding by any such terms, guidelines or rules. All access and use of any site controlled by a Third Party Seller or any retail locations operated by a Third Party Seller are at your own risk.
 
IX. Gift and offer codes & Referral Program
 
From time to time, Christeli may offer qualified consumers “gift codes” or “offer codes” through a variety of promotional activities and communications (collectively referred to herein as “offer codes”) that are redeemable towards a purchase on any Site, while supplies last, and subject to certain merchandise exclusions or any other restrictions as may be determined and communicated by Christeli in its sole discretion. Only valid offer codes provided or promoted by Christeli will be honored at checkout. Codes supplied or promoted by third parties unauthorized by Christeli (including any unauthorized third-party websites) will not be considered valid. Codes supplied or promoted by Third Party Sellers are not valid for use on the Sites and are subject to the terms and conditions set by such Third Party. Each offer code promoted is non-transferable and valid for single use on an item (or items) of merchandise as determined by Christeli. Offer codes may not be combined, are valid only on full-priced items unless stated otherwise, may not be used on any items that are marked as “Final Sale” or "Clearance" unless stated otherwise, and may not be used in conjunction with a Referral Program. Customers are limited to the use of a single offer code per order. Offer codes cannot be used toward purchase of non-branded merchandise, packaging or applicable taxes. For online purchases, the code must be entered in the ‘offer code’ field at checkout. Christeli is not responsible for lost, stolen, or corrupted codes or any unauthorized use of codes. Offer codes cannot be redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent; no substitutions or credits allowed. The dollar value of any offer code will not be refunded or credited back if any or all of the merchandise is returned. If an offer code provides for free or discounted item(s) with a qualifying purchase, the full retail value of the free or discounted item(s) will be deducted from any refunded amounts if the free or discounted item(s) are not returned with the qualifying product. Expiration dates may apply to each offer code. Offer codes are void if copied, transferred, sold, exchanged or expired, and where prohibited. Requests not complying with all offer code requirements will not be honored.
 
Spokespeople: From time to time, Christeli may also engage spokespeople, influencers, bloggers, or other individuals or entities who have been compensated or incentivized to speak on behalf of the brand. When you receive an offer code via a third-party source, such as a television or radio show host, please note that such individuals may have been compensated by Christeli for their statements.
 
Referral Program: Christeli offers brand advocates the opportunity to refer friends to participate in the Christeli Referral Program. For the terms and conditions of the Referral Program, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms, please see Referral Terms. Offer codes may not be used in conjunction with the Referral Program.
 
X. Warranty
 
We stand behind our Products. For specific warranty information applicable to our Products, please see this page (together, the “Product Warranties”). The Product Warranties are incorporated by reference into these Terms. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of any Product Warranty and these Terms, the terms of the applicable Product Warranty shall govern.

XI. Refunds, Returns & Cancellations
 
Cancellations: You may cancel an order placed through the Sites within 48 hours of placing said order.
 
Returns: Subject to the exceptions set forth below, you may return or replace (depending on the terms of any trial period) any Product purchased from the Sites within the applicable Product's trial period, each "Trial Period” beginning upon your receipt of such Product, (each, a "Trial Period"), provided that the Product you are returning is located in the United States (not including US territories) and subject to the conditions described below. You can find a summary of our mattress Sleep Trial Period Period policy. Any refunds will be issued in the form of the original payment. If we are unable to refund in the form of the original payment (for example, if the credit card you made the purchase on has been canceled or closed), you will be issued a check refund. If you purchased a Product from the Sites using an offer code or gift code, the dollar value of any offer code will not be refunded or credited back if any or all of the merchandise is returned. Please note that we do not refund any shipping costs or fees.
 
Trial Period Exceptions: Any Product that is marked as “Final Sale” or "Clearance" or purchased as part of a "bundled" product offering (each such offering, a "Bundle"), to the extent not accompanied by the entire Bundle, may not be returned or exchanged, except in the event of a Defect, as defined in the applicable Product Warranty, or unless otherwise specified.
 
Return Procedure: Return shipping is free, provided that you are returning the Product from within the United States (not including US territory). Refunds will be issued in the form of the original payment. Please follow the instructions below to return your Product.

Mattress: If you want to exchange your mattress, we would be happy to arrange an exchange for any other Christeli mattress after the 100-Night Trial Period if the mattress is within the applicable 100-Night Sleep Trial Period, and we will credit or require additional payment if the current price on the Site for another mattress differs from the original purchase price. If you would like to exchange a mattress please email Christeli at help@christeli.com to arrange a return pick-up.

Bed Frame and Other Furniture: If you want to return a bed frame or any other furniture purchase within the applicable Product's Trial Period, please email us at help@christeli.com to arrange a return pick-up. If you purchased a bed frame or other furniture purchase with a Christeli mattress, including as part of a Bundle, the applicable Trial Period will be the same as the Trial Period for the Christeli mattress.

Other Products: If you want to return any other Product within the applicable Product's Trial Period, please email us at help@christeli.com.

Return Conditions: The following conditions also apply to Product returns. Products must be in donatable condition to be eligible for return (e.g., no stains, tears or other soiling including odors). Products may not be returned from outside the United States. Customers may return a maximum of two (2) of each particular Product per initial order, validated by a customer name or shipping address. If at least one of a particular Product type is returned from an initial order, that customer or shipping address will not be eligible for additional Trial Periods on subsequent orders of that particular Product (e.g., if you return a pillow, you will not be eligible for the applicable Trial Period on future pillow orders). For Bundles, (i) an entire Bundle may be returned and (ii) the longest Trial Period applicable to any Product included in that Bundle will be applicable Trial Period for the entire Bundle.

Title: Risk of loss and title for Products purchased from Christeli pass to you upon delivery of such Products (by Christeli or our manufacturer) to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged or lost shipments.

Third Party Seller Returns and Refunds: Notwithstanding anything provided in these Terms, including this Section, the return of any Product(s) ordered, purchased or received from any Third Party Seller and any refunds issued in connection with such Product(s) will be subject to the terms and conditions of such Third Party Seller. Please contact the Third Party Seller from which you ordered, purchased or received the Product for their applicable terms and conditions regarding returns and refunds.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials posted on the Sites infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed; Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Sites are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); Identification of the specific material alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Christeli to locate the material on the Sites; Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available); A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Christeli a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Sites should be sent to help@christeli.com.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE MATTRESS WARRANTY, SHEETS WARRANTY, PILLOWS WARRANTY, MATTRESS TOPPER WARRANTY, FOUNDATION WARRANTY, MATTRESS PROTECTOR WARRANTY, BED FRAME WARRANTY, DUVET AND BLANKET WARRANTY, ADJUSTABLE BASE WARRANTY, FURNITURE WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT WARRANTY FOR PURCHASED PRODUCTS, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, SITES, AND PRODUCTS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICES, SITES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND THE RELEASED PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES AS TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES LISTED ON THE SITES, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) THE RELEASED PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (i) THE SITES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (iii) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SITES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, (iv) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, GOOD OR SERVICE AVAILABLE ON THE SITES OR THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY SELLER WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, OR (v) ANY ERRORS IN THE SITES WILL BE CORRECTED; AND (C) ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SITES IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.

Dispute Resolution Generally: In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Christeli in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Christeli agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms, your use of the Sites or the Services or the purchase, receipt, order or use any of the Products will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to these Terms, your use of the Sites, the Services, or the purchase, receipt, order or use of any of the Products, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CHRISTELI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exceptions: Despite the provisions of the Section entitled “Generally” directly above, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Arbitrator: Any arbitration between you and Christeli will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Christeli. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

Notice & Process: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. Mail or electronic mail (“Notice”). Christeli’s address for Notice is: help@christeli.com. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Christeli may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Christeli must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Christeli will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Christeli in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

Fees: If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Christeli will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $15,000 or as set forth below, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Greenville, South Carolina, but if the claim is for $15,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Christeli for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

No Class Actions: YOU AND CHRISTELI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Christeli agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Christeli makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Christeli’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Christeli’s address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and Christeli.

Enforceability: If the Section entitled “No Class Actions” is found to be unenforceable then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described directly below will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of or access to the Sites, the Services or the purchase, receipt, order or use of Products.

Choice of Law & Venue: These Terms will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, excluding its conflicts of law rules. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and Christeli agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located within Greenville, South Carolina.

Termination: Notwithstanding any of these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice or attendant liability, and in our sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Sites, and to block or prevent future access to and use of any of the Sites for any reason or no reason. Upon termination, these Terms will still apply.

We reserve the right to update and revise these terms at any time: From time to time we review these Terms to ensure that they comply with applicable law. Consequently, we reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time. You will know if these Terms have been revised since your last visit to the website by referring to the “Effective Date of Current Policy” date at the top of this page; provided, however, that we will endeavor to provide you with prior notice of any material changes that will apply to you. Your use of or access to the Services constitutes your acceptance of these Terms.

Waiver: Either party’s failure to partially or fully exercise any rights or waiver of any breach of these Terms by the other party shall not prevent such party’s subsequent exercise of such right or be deemed a waiver by such party of any subsequent breach by the other party of the same or any other term of these Terms.

Severability: If any of these Terms are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term will be severed and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining term or condition. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WILL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU.
