Payment, Refund & Expiration Policy.  

Karma Coins® ("Coins") are the currency used on the Service to purchase certain products, including tarot readings, astrology reports, numerology reports and I ching readings ("Reports"). Coins are either purchased in packages or granted to users for free upon registration, or as a bonus gift at Zappallas' sole discretion. All Coins are saved in a user’s account. If a user elects to purchase a Report, Coins are automatically debited from the user's account.

By submitting an order to purchase Coins through the Service, you authorize Zappallas or its designated payment processor to charge the credit card account you provide for the payment, for the amount specified at checkout. All payments must be made using a credit card or other approved payment method. Payment values are in US dollars. You are responsible for all applicable charges, including any sales or use tax, duties, VAT, or other governmental taxes or fees payable in connection with your purchase, and Zappallas reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time. If a credit card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the Service constitutes your authorization for Zappallas to continue billing your credit card and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. Zappallas reserves the right to terminate your account for any reason, including credit card processing issues.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, purchases of Coins are not refundable, whether or not Coins are used. Coins are not transferable. Unused Coins may be subject to applicable U.S. state escheat law. If you terminate your account, the Coins remaining in your account will no longer be redeemable.

If you are a user located in the UK or EU, you may cancel a purchase of Coins at any time within a 14 day "cooling-off" period starting the day after the date of purchase of any Coins. To cancel a purchase of Coins, you must email us and provide your name, address, and any order reference number, with the subject line "Coin refund request". If you cancel a purchase within the cooling-off period, of the value of any unused Coins will be refunded.

Refunds will be made by the same method originally used to pay for the purchase, unless agreed otherwise. Where you pay for Reports sent through the Platforms using Coins, such digital content is provided immediately, and you acknowledge and agree that this is the case and, therefore, that you have no right to change your mind and cancel such purchase pursuant to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 once such purchase has been made.

Applicable law may not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnity.  

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Zappallas, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Platforms, including, but not limited to, your User Content, any use of the Platforms' content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use or your use of any information obtained from the Platforms.

By using the Platforms, you agree to receive certain electronic communications from us, whether through the Platforms, by email or by SMS message (at your option and only for Tarot.com users). You may unsubscribe from email marketing at any time by clicking the appropriate link in the communication or by logging into your account profile and making changes in your account settings.

Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

Subject to the exceptions described below, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or any aspect of your relationship with Zappallas, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.

Arbitration is mandatory for the claims covered under this arbitration agreement. You agree that Zappallas and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury, and that any arbitration will take place on an individual basis. You hereby waive the ability to participate in a class action. The parties agree that the panel will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement.

You and Zappallas each retain the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of a party’s trade secrets or intellectual property rights.

You will also have the right to litigate any other dispute that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration agreement if you opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending us an email or a letter to 7412 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway, Suite 102, Portland, Oregon 97225, U.S.A., within 30 days after the date you first agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t provide Zappallas with a timely opt-out notice, this arbitration agreement applies.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The panel will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the panel determines that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the panel will determine the location. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Zappallas will contribute to your filing and hearing fees as the [arbitrator][panel] deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The panel’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms of Use (including the Limitation of Liability provision) and will be final and binding. The panel will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the panel. The award rendered by the panel may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Miscellaneous. 

a. Survival.
The terms that by their nature may survive termination shall remain in effect and survive the termination of these Terms of Use, including without limitation, Content Submitted, Ownership, Indemnity, Warranty Disclaimer, Limitation of Liabilities and Damages and Miscellaneous.

b. Assignment.
These Terms of Use are personal to you, the user. You may not assign these Terms of Use or any rights and licenses in these Terms of Use to another party. These Terms of Use may be assigned by Zappallas without restriction.

c. Disputes.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Clackamas County, Oregon, and agree you will not object to such jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens or otherwise. To the extent it may be applicable, you agree to opt out from and expressly exclude any applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.

d.Limitations on Claims.
Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to Zappallas or the Platforms (including without limitation the purchase of products and services) must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred.

e. No Waiver.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or provision. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall modify any of the terms in these Terms of Use.

f. Severability.
If any provision in these Terms of Use is determined by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

g. Entire Agreement.
These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of the Platforms. These Terms of Use supersede any prior agreements, communications, representations, or understandings between you and us, including without limitation any prior versions of these Terms of Use.
