EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE WEBSITE, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Epilogue and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers 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 or your use of the Website or products.

Prevailing Party Fees: In any dispute between you and Epilogue, whether in arbitration, litigation, or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party. This includes all fees incurred in connection with the dispute, including appeals, collection efforts, and bankruptcy proceedings. The determination of the prevailing party and the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees shall be made by the arbitrator or court. You acknowledge that this provision creates substantial financial risk for bringing unsuccessful claims against us.

14. Export Control

You may not use, export, or re-export our products except as authorized by Romanian law, European Union regulations, and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the products were obtained. Products may not be exported to embargoed countries or to persons on any government's prohibited party list.

Enhanced Screening: For orders exceeding $500 or shipping to certain high-risk destinations, we may require additional identity verification and end-use documentation.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

17.1 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Resolution Process

The parties agree that a structured, multi-tiered resolution process is the most cost-effective and constructive method for resolving disputes. Therefore, as a mandatory condition precedent to the initiation of arbitration, the parties shall exhaust the following procedures in sequence:

(a) Good Faith Negotiation (30 days): The party raising the dispute must provide written notice to the other party describing the nature and factual basis of the dispute in reasonable detail. For a period of 30 days following receipt of the notice, authorized executives of the parties with full settlement authority shall meet and confer, in person or by video conference, and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution to the dispute.

(b) Mandatory Mediation (45 days): If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation within the 30-day period, the parties shall jointly initiate and participate in good faith in a mediation proceeding. The mediation shall be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Bucharest, Romania, and conducted in accordance with the ICC Mediation Rules. Each party shall initially bear its own costs of mediation.

(c) Cooling-Off Period (14 days): Following the formal conclusion of the mediation, the parties shall observe a final 14-day cooling-off period before initiating arbitration, during which time settlement discussions may continue.

17.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute not resolved through the pre-arbitration process shall be resolved by binding arbitration. For consumers, arbitration may be conducted via video conference or, at your option, in your home jurisdiction through a recognized arbitration provider. For business disputes, arbitration shall be conducted under ICC Rules in Bucharest, Romania. Each party shall bear their own arbitration costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.

Discovery: For individual consumers, discovery shall be limited to what is necessary for fair resolution of the dispute. For business entities, organizations, or individuals acting in a commercial capacity, discovery shall be strictly limited to: (i) documents directly relevant to the specific claims and defenses asserted; (ii) no more than 5 document requests per party; (iii) no depositions unless ordered by the arbitrator for exceptional circumstances; (iv) no requests for electronically stored information beyond what is reasonably accessible. Commercial parties seeking discovery beyond these limits must first post a €25,000 bond to cover the opposing party's costs. The arbitrator may impose sanctions for discovery requests made in bad faith.

30-Day Opt-Out Right: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@epilogue.co within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your written opt-out must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration.

17.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND EPILOGUE 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.

Consumer Law Exception: If you are a consumer entitled to certain protections under mandatory local law (which may allow you to bring a dispute in your local courts or provide other unwaivable rights), those protections are not waived. This Section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

17.4 Exceptions and Fallback Forum

This arbitration agreement does not apply to claims for injunctive relief for intellectual property violations, which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Bucharest, Romania.

18. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

19. General Provisions

19.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any product-specific terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Epilogue regarding the Website and supersede all prior agreements.

19.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

19.3 Waiver

No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.

19.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

19.5 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemic, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
