By accessing or using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Terms.

 

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS MAY HAVE CHANGED SINCE YOU LAST ACCESSED OR USED THE SERVICES. BY CLICKING “I AGREE” OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS.

 

Notice of Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver

By accepting these Terms, you are agreeing to the Arbitration Agreement and class action waiver described in Section 7 of these Terms to resolve any disputes with RC.

 

1. ABOUT THE SERVICES

 

A. Introduction

Through the Services, we aim to give you access to beautiful children’s and women's clothing and accessories, fit and other content to help you decide which items are perfect for you.

 

B. Mobile Charges

To the extent you access the Services through a mobile or wireless device, your carrier’s standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply.

 

C. Eligibility

Children under the age of 13 may not use the Services and parents or legal guardians may not agree to these Terms on their behalf. Children under 18 years of age but at least 13 years of age may use the Site under the supervision of parents or legal guardians who agree to be bound by these Terms on their behalf, but such children may not rent or purchase any clothing or accessories (“Products”) via the Services. If you are a parent or legal guardian agreeing to these Terms for the benefit of a child between the ages of 13 and 18, you are fully responsible for his or her use of the Services and the rental or purchase of any Products, including all legal liability he or she may incur.

 

D. Modification of the Services or the Terms

RC may modify these Terms or modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time for any reason.

 

E. Privacy

RC knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.

 

We collect two types of data about individuals: (1) technical data automatically collected from all visitors to the Website, and individuals that use the Services and (2) information that you or others voluntarily submit to us.

“Personal Information,” as used in these Terms, is information that allows the direct identification of an individual, such as a name or email address, and information that is directly combined with such identifying information. Our primary purpose in collecting Personal Information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We only collect Personal Information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.

If you order Products from us, we request certain Personal Information from you, whether you access the Services from our Site, other electronic means, phone or mail. You must provide contact information (including name, shipping address, telephone number) and financial information (including credit card number and expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we may use this information to contact you.

Before your order can be processed, we will require that you acknowledge that you have reviewed and consented to these Terms. 

 

RC does not sell or rent your Personal Information to third parties.

 

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests on our Site or other electronic mediums (such as our Facebook® or Instagram® pages). If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information. We use this information to notify contest winners and to send participants an email newsletter. By participating in a contest you submit to that activity’s terms and conditions, including providing us with permission, if required, to share your Personal Information with sponsors of that contest. We reserve the exclusive right to cancel any contest or promotion without notice at any time.

We may post photographs shared with us on our social or digital marketing channels. By submitting photos to us by email or other electronic medium, you agree to give us permission to share them without compensation. The same applies when tagging #sharemyRCstyle or #raineyscloset. 

 

We will occasionally send you information on Services, Products, contests, and promotions. You can take advantage of promotions by entering the promotion code provided at the time of checkout. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of communications. Please send an email to rentals@raineyscloset.com to discontinue receiving promotional offerings. We will occasionally send newsletters, usually by email. Please send an email to rentals@raineyscloset.com to discontinue newsletters.

 

Additionally, we may disclose Personal Information where we, in good faith, deem it appropriate or necessary to prevent violation of these Terms, Rental Agreement, or our other agreements; take precautions against liability; protect the rights, property, or safety of RC, any individual, or the general public; maintain and protect the security and integrity of our Services or infrastructure; protect ourselves and our Services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; or investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations.

 

We may disclose Personal Information if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order or otherwise required by law.

 

2. RENTAL AND SALE OF PRODUCTS

A. General Conditions

 

The Services include the rental and sale of Products. This Section 2(A) sets out terms and conditions that apply to your rental or purchase of any Product.

 

18 Years or Older. Products may be rented or purchased for use by individuals under 18 years of age, but we rent or sell only to adults, who may rent or purchase the Products with a payment card or other approved payment method (such as Paypal). By clicking agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are 18 years or older and that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method (including credit cards) for the purpose of renting or purchasing the Products as described in these Terms.

Limits. You acknowledge and agree that we may place limits on the rental or purchase of Products, including restricting orders placed under a single customer account, payment card or billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit, cancel or prohibit any rentals or sales of Products for any reason, including availability concerns.

Delivery. All deliveries will be through RC’s shipping partners, which may change from time to time at RC’s discretion. The shipping method used will be at the discretion of RC. RC recommends scheduling a delivery date that is 2-3 days before your event or photo shoot. Shipping carrier delays out of our control do not constitute a refund if you are still able to use the items. The shipping cost for any replacement items sent when there are less than 2 days before your event or photo shoot will be the responsibility of the customer. 

Collections. If you do not pay the amounts you owe to RC when due, RC may institute collection procedures. You agree to pay RC’s costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

 

B. Rentals

The following additional conditions apply to the rental of any Product.

 

Rental Fee. The rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for the Product will be the total of the rental fee, insurance charges and delivery charges listed on the Site for your rental of the Product. When you place your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize RC to charge your payment card for the Rental Fee. RC will charge your payment card the amount of the Rental Fee immediately upon your rental order. A reservation of a Product on the Site is an order for the rental of that Product, regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved. In addition, at the time of your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize RC to charge your payment card for an amount equal to 200% of the original retail value of the Product (when new), or the market value of the Product, as determined in the sole discretion of RC, plus applicable sales taxes. This authorization of 200% is not charged unless an item is not returned or is damaged beyond repair. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, goods and services tax, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by RC, shall be paid by you to RC in connection with your rental order. You may cancel your rental order at least fourteen (14) days prior to the ordered delivery date, subject to the following cancellation fees: (i) for cancellations that are thirty (30) or more days in advance of such delivery date, no cancellation fee with remaining credit applied to a future RC rental; and (ii) for cancellations that are less than thirty (30) days in advance of such delivery date, five dollar ($5.00) fee with remaining credit applied to a future RC rental.

Return Packaging.With delivery of the Product, RC will provide you with a reuseable package, a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label, and instructions for your use in returning the Products to RC (“Return Packaging”). Failure to return a reuseable shipping garment bag results in an automatic charge of $40. 

Receipt of the Products. Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is highly recommended. A Secure Shipping Address means a location where an individual can physically receive Product(s). In the event that an unsecure shipping address is provided, RC does not bear liability for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which RC will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees.

Use of the Products. You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. RC’s products are meant to be used/worn in limited capacity such as photo shoots, weddings, special events, etc. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor stains, missing beads, stuck zippers or other minor damage. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to 200% of the the retail value or market value for the Product. RC reserves the right to charge a ten dollar ($10.00) excessive cleaning fee when necessary. If you do not pay the amounts you owe to RC when due or RC is unable to charge your original payment method, RC will institute collection procesures. You agree to pay RC's costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 

Insurance. Optional insurance is available to purchase on clothing items and some accessories. Insurance covers normal, minor wear and tear such as missing beads or sequins, snags in tulle, minor stains, detached buttons, stuck zippers, and broken straps due to strap hardware breakage. It does NOT cover major staining (such as heavily soiled hems on long dresses, excessive icing due to cake smashes, heavy food or drink stains, nail polish or permanent marker, etc.), tears or holes in fabric, blatant misuse of an item, or loss/non-return. Purchasing insurance does not authorize you to trash or misuse an item and you still agree to pay up to 200% of the retail or market value for the Product if it is damaged beyond repair. 

Return of the Products; Extensions. You agree to return the Products to RC in the Return Packaging on or before the return date for the Products that are identified in the invoice for your order. You may extend your order for a Product by sending an email to rentals@raineyscloset.com; provided that any extensions are subject to other orders for that Product and to pre-payment of the additional Rental Fee applicable to that Product for the period of time of the extension. You must return the Product by delivering the Product in the Return Packaging to a a UPS location in the United States. RC is not responsible for returns taken to a United States Postal Service location or returns taken to any location that doesn't process UPS packages.

Late Fees. If you return the Products late or not at all, a late fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00) for orders less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) and fifty dollars ($50.00) for orders one hundred dollars ($100.00) and over will be charged per day to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to RC for every day that you are late returning the Products, and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 200% of the retail value or market value, as determined in our discretion, plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each order of Products that is not returned when due, not for each Product that is the subject of the order that is late. If you have not returned a Product within twenty (20) days after the return date for the Product, your late return will be considered a non-return and RC will charge your payment card the maximum late fee set forth in this Section 2(B), less any late fees that you have already paid, plus applicable sales tax. If you do not pay the amounts you owe to RC when due, RC will institute collection procedures. You agree to pay RC's costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 

Payment of 200% Retail Value or Market Value. RC will not charge you for more than an amount equal to 200% of the retail value or market value plus the Rental Fee, in the aggregate, for any charges arising under this Section 2(B), excluding collection costs. If you pay RC an amount equal to 200% of the retail value or market value under this Section 2(B) and you still possess the Product, the Product is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

Lost Return Packaging. If you lose the Return Packaging or label, contact us at rentals@raineyscloset.com prior to your return date to request another copy of your return label. We require at least 24 hours to respond from the receipt of your correspondence. Late fees are not waived due to lost return labels. Failure to return a reusable shipping garment bag results in an automatic charge of $40. 

Limited Warranties. The following are the limited warranties RC provides in connection with Product rentals. RC’s liability to you for failure to comply with any of these warranties is limited to timely delivery of Product conforming to the warranties or a refund of the Rental Fee (excluding delivery charges) as determined by RC. See Section 6(A) below.

Correct Products. We will deliver the Products you ordered, including the specified size, color and design, on or before the delivery date for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that the Product is damaged beyond repair, returned late by a previous customer, or is otherwise unavailable. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you that the Product is unavailable. If we are able to reach you, you will be entitled to choose any available rental Product to replace the unavailable Product. If we are unable to reach you, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you a replacement product of the same or greater value. Products may appear different in color and style than as displayed on the Site or other electronic medium.

Clean and Ready to Wear. The Products will be cleaned and delivered ready to wear. RC dry cleans and/or hand washes and inspects each Product with the utmost care, but use of the Product is at your own risk and RC shall not be held liable for any health-related complaints associated with any Product.

Sizing Returns. If your Product does not fit, then you may contact RC within 24 hours of the date you received the Product at rentals@raineyscloset.com to choose a substitute Product with no additional rental fee. RC can expedite ship the substitute product when available but shipping costs will be your responsbility. RC does not offer refunds due to sizing issues. 

Condition. Items will be brand new, like new, excellent used condition, or very good used condition. They will not have flaws that affect the use of the dress, or are noticeable when photographed or worn. Should any flaws be discovered upon receipt, you may notify RC within 24 hours of receipt of the Product at rentals@raineyscloset.com. Keeping Products in your possession for your full rental period even after notifying RC of a flaw voids any refunds.

The limited warranties set out in Section 2(B) for rentals apply only to you and may not be assigned, sold or transferred to any third party.

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET OUT IN SECTION 2(B), THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE.

YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER SHALL BE AS SET FORTH UNDER SECTION 7(A) OR TO DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND TERMINATE THESE TERMS.

 

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

 

This Section 7includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt-out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt-out procedure described below.

 

A. Informal Process First

 

You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and RC, you will first contact RC and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.

 

B. Arbitration Agreement

 

After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of RC’s Services and/or Products, or relating in any way to RC’s communications with you, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and RC. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by RC for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that (including the Site) is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms.

 

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and RC are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination of these Terms.

 

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to R. Jason Richards, Attorney at Law, 17 East Main Street, Suite 200, Pensacola, FL 32502. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect including, if you are an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The number of arbitrators shall be one. RC shall choose the arbitrator.

 

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Florida law shall apply. The final arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Escambia County, Florida. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid under applicable law, all other parts will nevertheless remain enforceable. 

 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to Section 7(C) below.

 

C. Class Action Waiver

 

Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement in section 7(B), if otherwise effective, shall be 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. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and RC each waive any right to a jury trial.

 

8. MISCELLANEOUS
