14. Applicable Law and Construction: Jurisdiction: Arbitration

15.1.  These General Conditions and, therefore, the Contracts executed with the Clients, are governed by and must be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions or choice of law rules. The General Conditions shall not be subject to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. 


To the maximum extent permissible by applicable law, any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including, but not limited to, statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to the Products, the interpretation or application of these General Conditions or the breach, termination or validity thereof, and/or the relationships which result from these General Conditions (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties who are not signatories hereto) (collectively, a "Claim") WILL BE RESOLVED, UPON THE ELECTION OF OPPIUS, EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. Arbitration is a process established by law that allows parties to a transaction to agree to resolve their disputes by an independent arbitrator, rather than by a judge and jury. If arbitration is chosen, it will be conducted pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. If arbitration is not chosen, the Claim shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of New York, County of New York, Borough of Manhattan. If arbitration is chosen by Oppius with respect to a Claim, neither Oppius nor Client will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or to have a jury trial on that Claim or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided for in the applicable arbitration rules or by agreement of the parties involved. Further, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Client will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim. Notwithstanding any choice of law provision included in these General Conditions, this arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The arbitration will take place exclusively in the State of New York, New York County, Borough of Manhattan. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each party involved will bear its own cost of any legal representation, discovery or research required to complete arbitration. The existence or results of any arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all matters pertaining to the collection of amounts due to Oppius for the sale of Products will be exclusively litigated in court rather than through arbitration.  


In the event of any Claim, the prevailing party shall be entitled to additionally recover reasonable legal expenses and costs, including attorney’s fees, from the other party.  


  


15.2.  The headings used in these General Conditions are for reference purposes only and do not have contractual or binding effect.  


  


15.3.  If any provision herein is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of these General Conditions will not be affected. In such event, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a provision that comes closest to the original intent of the invalid or unenforceable provision or will be modified to conform to the most expansive permissible reading under the law consistent with the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision.  


  


15.4.  The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Client and Oppius with respect to the subject matter set forth herein and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals, whether written or oral, and supersede all contrary representations contained in the Website, including but not limited to any statements of policy or answers to frequently asked questions.  


  


15.5.  Oppius’s waiver of any provision of these General Conditions, failure to insist on strict performance of any term herein or failure to take advantage of any of its rights with respect to these Terms of Sale will not operate to excuse performance or waive any such right to require strict performance at any future time. 


15. Warranty

16. Limitation of liability

17.1.  THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY ARE VALID AND ENFORCEABLE IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, USA, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW; HOWEVER SOME OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW ALL OR PART OF THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY AND, IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CONTENTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO THE CLIENT.  




17.2.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN, OPPIUS AND ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, REVENUES OR SAVINGS, INCLUDING IN THE EVENT THAT OPPIUS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER A CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH LIABILITY IS PREMISED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY; OR (B) ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR ACTIONS AGAINST CUSTOMER BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Social Media and Endorsement Policy

1. Purpose
Ovidio Oppius Srl, (“Oppius”) is committed to transparency and honesty in all of its advertising messages and promotional communications with consumers. Therefore, Oppius hereby adopts this Social Media and Endorsement Policy (this “Policy”).  
This Policy applies to all Oppius independent contractors, employees, agents, speakers, writers, bloggers, talent, endorsers and any other individual or entity engaged in promotional activities on behalf of Oppius, whether they are engaged by Oppius directly, or through an agency, representative of an agency, subsidiary, or franchise (collectively referred to herein as “Endorsers”).  


This Policy is intended to outline the policies and procedures of Oppius with respect to any and all advertising messages or promotional communications made by Endorsers. It is also intended to address endorsements and testimonials made by Endorsers about Oppius, and/or its products and services, whether those endorsements and testimonials are made through “traditional media,” such as television commercials or print ads, or “new media,” or “social media,” such as websites, blogs, mobile applications or any other form of media that may be used by advertisers.  


Endorsers are legally responsible for their opinions, comments and content. Individual Endorsers can be held personally liable by third parties for any commentary deemed to be defamatory; obscene; proprietary to, or owned by, others; or libelous to Oppius, its suppliers/partners or any other person or entity. For these reasons, Endorsers should exercise caution with regard to exaggeration, colorful language, guesswork, obscenity, materials used in content, conclusions, images and/or video, and derogatory remarks or characterizations.  
In addition, Endorsers should at all times be mindful that, given advances in technology, opinions, comments or content may remain public, and may be archived, stored and retrievable, indefinitely.   

2. Standards of Conducts
With respect to statements or other claims made in advertising messages or promotional communications about Oppius and/or its products or services, Endorsers must adhere to the following principles:  
 
a. Endorsers may only make statements that reflect their honest beliefs, opinions, experiences or recommendations. Oppius encourages these statements to be in the first person. Endorsers may not make statements about experiences with a product that they have not personally tried, examined or evaluated.  
 
b. Endorsements by organizations must reflect the collective judgment of the organization, as approved by senior management.  
 
c. Endorsers may not make deceptive or misleading claims about Oppius’s products or services, or Oppius’s competitors’ products or services, to consumers.  
 
d. Endorsers may not make any claims about Oppius’s products or services, or Oppius’s competitors’ products or services, that are not substantiated (i.e., claims may not be made about a product that would require proof that the Endorser does not have).  
 
e. Endorsers may not engage in any communication that is defamatory or infringes upon the intellectual property, or privacy and publicity rights of others, including competitors.  
 
f. Endorsers may not offer for sale, or solicit, products or services on behalf of Oppius.  
 
g. Endorsers may not make offensive comments that have the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating or hostile environment, including telling lies or spreading rumors about Oppius or its affiliates and their respective Endorsers, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, licensees or competitors.  
 
h. Endorsers may not use ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, or other offensive language.  
 
i. Endorsers may not make any comments or post any content that in any way promotes unsafe activities that could lead to an unsafe situation involving Oppius’s customers or other individuals.  
 
j. Endorsers may not make any comments or post any content that may violate applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations.  
 
k. Endorsers must adhere to the legal conditions on Oppius’s web site and the posting guidelines and Terms of Use on any web site on which they post content on behalf of Oppius.  
 
l. Endorsers must strive for high quality with every comment or post, including adherence to basic spellchecking and rules of grammar.  
 
m. Endorsers that are also employees of Oppius must also adhere to any and all guidelines provided by Oppius to its employees with respect to social media and related matters.  
 
n. Endorsers must adhere to any specific additional guidelines provided by Oppius.  
 
o. Endorsers must always use sound judgment and common sense.   

3. Disclosure Requirements
a. Endorsers must clearly and conspicuously disclose and make readily apparent all “material connections” to Oppius in all advertising messages and promotional communications concerning Oppius and/or its products or services.  
 
i. A “material connection” is one that could influence the weight or credibility a reasonable consumer would give to the communications or messages made by the Endorser. Such connections may be in the form of (a) consideration (such as monetary compensation, including fees or commissions; gift cards; event access; prizes; or free or discounted products or services) provided by Oppius (or any of its agents acting on its behalf) to the Endorser, or (b) a relationship between Oppius and the Endorser (such as employment or contractual relationships).  
 
ii. Some examples of appropriate material connection disclosures are:  
- I received [product] from Oppius as a gift;  
- [Thanks to][Courtesy of] Oppius, I was given this [product]  
- Oppius sent me [product] to try;  
- Some of the products reviewed in this blog post were sent to me by Oppius;  
- This post is a paid advertisement for Oppius;  
- I am an employee of Oppius.  
These are simply examples of appropriate disclosures and variations on these examples may be appropriate based on the context. The key is to make it apparent to the reasonable consumer that Oppius provided the subject product or service, as opposed to the Endorser independently purchasing or obtaining the subject product or service.  
 
iii. It is not sufficient to make a single disclosure on a home page or legal terms/disclaimer page that, for example, “many of the products I discuss on this site are provided to me free of charge by their manufacturers.” Disclosures should be tied to the specific products at issue and readily apparent to readers of the particular blog post.  
 
iv. When using a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or similar platform, Endorsers should endeavor to include a link on their main profile page directing followers to a comprehensive disclosure statement.  
 
b. Endorsers who post their own opinions, comments, content or recommendations about Oppius, and/or its products or services, must disclose that their views do not necessarily represent those of Oppius.  

4. Third Party Endorsers
Endorsers that employ or contract with third parties to have such third parties deliver advertising messages or other promotional communications to consumers (e.g., advertising agencies, network marketing agencies and blogger networks) are also required to cause those third parties to agree to this Policy before engaging them to communicate to consumers about Oppius and/or its products or services.  
 
5. Trademarks and Intellectual Property
All emblems, logotypes, insignia, designs, devices, colors, artwork, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade dress and copyrights, and the commercial goodwill associated therewith, that at any time were or are owned, applied to be registered or registered (irrespective of class of goods/services), controlled, cleared for use by, or on behalf of, or licensed by Oppius or any of its affiliates may only be used or posted by Endorsers with the prior written consent of Oppius in each instance, strictly in accordance with the specific guidelines provided by Oppius. 

6. Confidentiality
Endorsers may develop, have access to, or directly or indirectly be exposed to, information of a proprietary and confidential nature about Oppius (including without limitation its business operations and activities, strategic plans and financial information) which, if disclosed, could have a negative effect on Oppius. Endorsers shall keep confidential and not disclose any such information and, upon termination of an Endorser’s relationship with Oppius, the Endorser shall promptly return to Oppius any confidential information in the Endorser’s possession. In the event that there is any question as to whether particular information is confidential in nature, Endorsers must promptly contact Oppius for clarification and approval before posting, commenting, blogging or uploading content.  

7. Press Enquiries
Endorsers’ endorsements and testimonials may generate media coverage. Media inquiries of any kind regarding endorsements or testimonials relating to Oppius, whether from online (news engines, bloggers) or mainstream (newspapers, magazines) media outlets, must be referred to Oppius using the Notice information below. Endorsers may not engage in any discussions or correspondence with any members of the media, or make any public oral or written statement, in each case regarding endorsements or testimonials relating to Oppius, without first consulting with, and receiving permission from, the appropriate authorized Oppius representative in each instance.  

8. Questions
Any questions concerning the contents of this Policy should be referred to privacy@oppius.store. 

9. Right to Modify Policy
Oppius reserves the right to amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify this Policy at any time. In the event of a dispute as to the interpretation of this Policy, Oppius’s interpretation shall be final.

California Disclosures

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010

Corporate disclosure  
 
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) requires California businesses to disclose their efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more-informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.  
 
Oppius has taken steps to evaluate the risks of forced labor in our supply chain. Within Oppius, procurement falls into two broad categories: (1) sourcing of raw materials such as gold, diamonds, precious stones, textiles, and leather; and (2) procurement of other types of goods and services to support the day-to-day running of our operations, such as energy, manufacturing, and office equipment. Although the social impact of the goods and services that Oppius purchases often lies outside our direct control, where possible, we have taken proactive steps to ensure the absence of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain.  
 
Oppius is committed to respect the Social Accountability International’s (SAI) SA8000 standard [http://www.sa-intl.org/]. SA8000 sets out a strong approach concerning forced labor and provides guidance to our suppliers and business partners regarding responsible sourcing. SA8000 includes an endorsement by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among other issues, SA8000 specifically forbids the use of forced or involuntary labor as defined in ILO Convention 29, including employment of people under the age of 15, unless a higher age is required by law, in which case the higher age applies.  

 
 
Oppius also addresses slavery and human trafficking through our involvement in the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC). The RJC was established in 2005 to promote responsible ethical, human rights, social, and environmental practices in the diamond and gold supply chains. Oppius became a member in November 2009. As a member, Oppius has committed to efforts to address slavery and human trafficking and is subject to RJC audits concerning our own compliance. RJC Code of Practices certification, began in January 2012 and renewed in 2015, integrates the Oppius commitment for a Responsible Jewellery. The certification process is rigorous, including independent audits regarding the member’s compliance with human rights standards. Many of Oppius’s suppliers are also members of the RJC and complete their own RJC certification. RJC has grown to include some 300 members since its founding, from miners to retailers. Additional information on RJC can be obtained here: [http://www.responsiblejewellery.com/] 
  
 

 Oppius shares this determination to pursue full compliance with all applicable Laws, Regulations and Directives, such as the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and relevant ILO Conventions. It specifically addresses Oppius’s dedication to eradicating child labor and forced labor from the company’s supply chain.  
 
Oppius expects and depends on our managers and employees to uphold a zero-tolerance policy regarding forced labor. As such, Oppius has taken steps to increase employee awareness and compliance regarding slavery and human trafficking issues.
