Made Network - TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

1. Acceptance of Terms

This Website Terms of Use Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Terms”) governs your use of the website located at www.madenetwork.com (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by madenetwork.com (“Made Network,” “we,” “us” and “our”). These Terms are important and affect your legal rights, so please read them carefully. Note that Section 21 of these Terms contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.

By accepting these Terms, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older and that, if you have accepted these Terms on behalf of any person or entity, you represent that you have legal authority to do so and that such person or entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or such person or entity violates these Terms.

If you do not agree to every provision of these Terms, you may not access, browse or use the Site or order, receive, or use products made available through the Site (the “Products”) or any services made available through the Site (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Site, you represent and warrant that you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Site or engaged in any activity that could result in suspension or removal from the Site.

These Terms may be revised at any time for any reason, and Made Network may provide you notice of these changes by any reasonable means, including by providing notice through the Site. You can determine when we last updated the Site by referring to the “Last Updated” legend at the bottom of these Terms. We strongly recommend that you periodically visit this page of the Site to review these Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may not access or use the Site or order, receive or use Products or Services made available through the Site.

In order to access and use certain areas or features of the Site, you will need to register for a Made Network account. Each registration is for a single user only.

By creating a Made Network account, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete account information, (b) maintain and promptly update, as necessary, your account information, (c) maintain the security of your account credentials, (d) be responsible for the acts or omissions of any third party who has authority to access or use the Site on your behalf, and (e) immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to the Site or your account. Any changes to your registration information may be made by logging into your account and correcting the relevant information. If you provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site.

When creating a Made Network account, you also request and authorize Made Network to use your personal information to communicate with you and you will be asked to consent to receive electronic communications from Made Network (e.g., via email or by posting notices to the Site). These communications may include notices about your account (e.g., payment authorizations, password changes and other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing. You should maintain copies of electronic communications from us by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. At the time that you create your Made Network account, we will offer you the opportunity to receive promotional communications via email, including, but not limited to, newsletters, special offers, surveys and other news and information we think will be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided therein.

2. Forward-Looking Statements

Statements included on the Site and the documents available through the Site may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future and projections relating to products, sales, revenues and earnings are typical of such statements and are made under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, representations and contentions and are not historical facts and typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “continue” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

All forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in predicting the future. You should be aware that, although the forward-looking statements included herein represent management’s current judgment and expectations, our actual results may differ materially from those projected, stated or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including, but not limited to, our business, financial condition and results of operations could continue to be adversely affected by an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related global economic conditions; our future financial performance depends upon increased consumer acceptance, growth of sales of our products, and operational execution of our strategic initiatives; the execution of our business plans could significantly impact our liquidity; our business and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result of general and economic conditions; the financial difficulties or insolvency of one or more of our major customers or their lack of willingness and ability to market our products could adversely affect results; we face intense competition in the worldwide gemstone and jewelry industry; we are subject to certain risks due to our international operations, distribution channels and vendors; our business and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result of our inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis; we are currently dependent on a limited number of distributor and retail partners in our Traditional segment for the sale of our products; we rely on assumptions, estimates, and data to calculate certain of our key metrics and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business; we may experience quality control challenges from time to time that can result in lost revenue and harm to our brands and reputation; seasonality of our business may adversely affect our net sales and operating income; our operations could be disrupted by natural disasters; our loan, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration may not be forgiven or may subject us to challenges and investigations regarding qualification for the loan; we may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which could harm the value of our products and brands and adversely affect our business; negative or inaccurate information on social media could adversely impact our brand and reputation; sales of moissanite and lab grown diamond jewelry could be dependent upon the pricing of precious metals, which is beyond our control; our current customers may potentially perceive us as a competitor in the finished jewelry business; our failure to maintain compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock; we depend on an exclusive supply agreement for substantially all of our silicon carbide, or SiC, crystals, the raw materials we use to produce moissanite jewels; if our supply of high-quality SiC crystals is interrupted, our business may be materially harmed; if the e-commerce opportunity changes dramatically or if e-commerce technology or providers change their models, our results of operations may be adversely affected; a failure of our information technology infrastructure or a failure to protect confidential information of our customers and our network against security breaches could adversely impact our business and operations; if we fail to evaluate, implement, and integrate strategic acquisition or disposition opportunities successfully, our business may suffer; governmental regulation and oversight might adversely impact our operations; and some anti-takeover provisions of our charter documents may delay or prevent a takeover of our company, in addition to the other risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our most recent earnings release and our most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur except as required by the federal securities laws, and you are urged to review and consider disclosures that we make in the reports that we file with the SEC that discuss other factors relevant to our business.

3. Payment and Billing Information

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, an “Order”). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your Order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your Made Network account, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and editing your payment information.

4. Pricing and Availability

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars, and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

While we make every attempt to avoid errors in pricing and product information, some information (including prices) may be inaccurately displayed on the Site due to system or typographical errors. We reserve the right to correct any and all errors in pricing or Product information when they occur, and we do not honor inaccurate or erroneous prices. If a Product’s listed price is lower than its actual price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping the product or cancel the Order and notify you of such cancellation. If the Order has been shipped, you agree to either return the Product (at your own expense) or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices.

All of our Products and Services are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order and to discontinue offering certain Products and Services without prior notice.

5. Taxes

Sales tax is applied in accordance with individual state regulations. Appropriate sales tax charges will appear on the Order page during checkout.

All items entering a foreign country are subject to customs inspection and assessment of duties and taxes in accordance with each country’s applicable laws. You are solely responsible for all duties and taxes incurred. Made Network cannot determine these fees during the checkout process. For more information, please contact your local customs office.

In the event that you refuse delivery of the shipment, you are solely responsible for payment of all return shipping charges, duties and taxes; in this case, return shipping charges, duties and taxes will be billed to you in accordance with the method of payment you selected in the checkout process.

6. Shipping and Handling

Separate charges for shipping and handling will be shown on the Order page during checkout. Please note that we do not ship to hotels or Post Office boxes. We require a signature upon delivery of all shipments.

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. Shipping is handled by a third party courier. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a Product for export. All Products purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that title to and the risk of loss of such Products passes to you upon our delivery of the Product to the third party courier.

7. Product Images

We have attempted to accurately depict the Products offered on this Site. However, because the color you see is dependent on your computer monitor, we cannot guarantee that the color you see will be accurate. The products may also appear larger or smaller than their actual size depending on your monitor. Some photographs of products may have been enlarged to show detail, and some images may be samples, stock photography and/or renders.

8. Deliveries

You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery.

9. No Resale

You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products or Services for commercial purposes.

10. Returns and Refunds

If you are dissatisfied with any Product you purchased through the Site, you may return the Product within thirty (30) days of the date you purchased the Product by contacting (888) 521-4367 and following the shipping instructions we supply; provided, that all returned Products must be unused and in their original packaging. After we receive your returned Product, we will issue you a refund for the price you paid for the Product (less any applicable shipping and handling charges).

All returns require a return authorization number. Please contact Customer Service at (888) 521-4367 to obtain your personal return authorization number.

You may use the return shipping method of your choice, at your own expense. We strongly recommend that you use a carrier that offers shipment tracking for all returns and either insure your package for safe return or declare the full value of the shipment so that you are protected if the shipment is lost or damaged in transit. You are solely responsible for any loss or damage to the Product during shipping.

Upon receipt of a returned Product, we may take up to fourteen (14) business days to process your return.

If you do not comply with the terms of this section, you will be ineligible to receive a refund. We are unable to issue refunds for Services.

In order to offer the best shopping and product-return experience to as many guests as possible, Made Network reserves the right to limit purchase activity or place limitations on returns if we have reason to suspect misuse of our generous returns policy (such as excessive returns, reseller activity, or fraud).

21. Limitation of Liability; Waiver; Arbitration

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE Made Network PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR DATA, LOSS OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OF ASSETS OR SECURITIES OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE, SERVICES OR CONTENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, USER CONTENT AND LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES) OR THE ORDER, RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM ANY Made Network PARTY, OR FROM EVENTS BEYOND THE Made Network PARTIES’ REASONABLE CONTROL, SUCH AS SITE INTERRUPTIONS, DELETIONS OF FILES OR EMAILS, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE Made Network PARTIES’ RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SYSTEMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE Made Network PARTIES (JOINTLY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE ORDER, RECEIPT OR USE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PURCHASED FROM THE SITE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID FOR SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, LEGAL AND PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, ACQUIT AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE Made Network PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE ANY SUCH Made Network PARTIES FOR, ALL CLAIMS YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1542, WHICH STATES “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH Made Network AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, YOU AND Made Network AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE FINALLY DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION GOVERNING, AS APPLICABLE, CONSUMER OR COMMERCIAL DISPUTES BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in a court case; and the arbitration process and result is subject to very limited review by courts. In an arbitration you have the right, at your expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief under these Terms that a court can award under these Terms. You and Made Network agree that any in-person arbitral hearing would occur in the United States in the same county and state as your billing address if a consumer dispute and otherwise in Wilmington, Delaware. Made Network further agrees that your filing fee for an arbitration will be capped at the amount set by the American Arbitration Association. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Made Network are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your use of the Services. REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM, YOU AND Made Network 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 Made Network agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

22. Modifications to the Site and Products

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any features or parts thereof) or the provision of any Products or Services at any time.

23. United States Only

The Site is controlled and operated by us from the United States of America, and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States of America. We do not represent or warrant that the Site, or any part of the Site, is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Site do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit the Site’s availability, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.

24. Termination

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Site and to order or receive and use the Products or Services, at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Made Network operates the Site from its offices at 170 Southport Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560.  These Terms and the transactions they contemplate, including without limitation their interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, U.S.A., without reference to conflict or choice of law provisions, as applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such State. The International Convention on the Sales of Goods, and other international treaties that are not mandatory with respect to contracts made and performed entirely in North Carolina, shall not apply.
