You will be billed the Subscription Fee in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of subscription you select when you rent Rental Products on a subscription basis. At the end of each period, you must return the Bundle, and your subscription will automatically renew for a new Bundle under the same conditions unless you or Everland cancel the subscription. You may cancel your subscription renewal either through your User Account settings page or by contacting Everland. You will not receive a refund for the Subscription Fee you have already paid for your current subscription period, and you will be able to keep the Rental Products until the end of your current subscription period.

Everland, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription Fee. Any Subscription Fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current subscription period.

For the avoidance of doubt, any such suspension of fees shall not impact or negate any other of your obligations under this Rental Agreement or the Everland Terms of Use, including, without limitation, your obligations to pay any fees and to return the applicable Rental Product upon termination of the Rental Term.
(e) Rental Cancellation. You may cancel your rental of any Rental Product any time; provided, however, that no rental cancellation will become effective (and you will continue to be charged rental fees and other applicable charges until) the applicable Rental Product is returned to Everland in accordance with the procedures of Section 5(b) hereof, or where the applicable Rental Products are damaged, lost, stolen, or otherwise are not returned by you, upon payment of all charges assessed to you under Section 5(e).

IN NO EVENT WILL EVERLAND’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY RENTAL PRODUCTS OR ANCILLARY SERVICES PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU UNDER OR PURSUANT TO THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT EXCEED THE SUM OF ALL RENTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO EVERLAND WITH RESPECT TO THE RENTAL PRODUCTS RENTED TO YOU UNDER THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL NOT REPLACE OR MODIFY THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE EVERLAND TERMS OF USE, OR OTHERWISE OPERATE TO EXPAND EVERLAND’S LIABILITY THEREUNDER OF HEREUNDER.
The limitations and exclusions in this Section 12 will apply regardless of the theory of liability, including without limitation liability for breach of contract, breach of any express or implied representation or warranty, strict product liability, negligence or any other tort, subrogation, or indemnification or contribution.

However, to the extent that in a particular circumstance any exclusion or limitation of damages or liability set forth in this Rental Agreement is prohibited by applicable law or held to be unenforceable, then the limitations on damages and liability in this Rental Agreement will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in that particular circumstance.
- Dispute Resolution.
Please read this Section carefully. It impacts the rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through individual arbitration instead of trial courts and class actions. This “Dispute Resolution” section survives any expiration or earlier termination of this Rental Agreement.
Informal Dispute Resolution. As a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or other action against the other party, both you and Everland agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to the Site or any transaction conducted thereon, the Service, any Rental Products made available to you in connection with this Rental Agreement, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Rental Agreement (each, a “Claim”), the party asserting the Claim must first try in good faith to settle such Claim by providing written notice, by first class or registered mail, to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any supporting documentation) of the Claim. The party asserting the Claim must allow the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Claim.
For purposes of this Section, notices must be sent as follows:
- If to Everland: to 529 S 4th St. Philadelphia, PA 19147, with a copy emailed to info@shopeverland.com
- If to you: your last-used billing address or the billing address listed in your User Account
Arbitration. To the extent you and we cannot resolve any Claim through the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth above, and except as otherwise set forth herein, a Claim must be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Rental Agreement and with respect to any Claim. You and Everland each expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Claim, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a written request to Everland. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In accordance with the AAA Rules, you must also send a copy of your written demand for arbitration to AAA when submitting your request to Everland. In the event that AAA is unable or unwilling to initiate arbitration within fourteen (14) days of receiving a demand for arbitration, arbitration may be conducted by JAMS, Inc. (in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures) or by any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. You and Everland each agree that this Rental Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will not be governed by state law. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Rental Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Everland may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.
In lieu of arbitration, and notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, either you or Everland may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, but only if it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this section shall prohibit you or Everland from seeking temporary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent an imminent or stop an actual breach of this Rental Agreement.
Class Action and Jury Waiver. You and Everland each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and Everland that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement set forth above will be void as to you. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.
- Miscellaneous.
(a) Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Rental Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any other person without Everland’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph is void and of no effect. This Rental Agreement is freely assignable by Everland. This Rental Agreement shall be binding on the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. A person who is not a party to this Rental Agreement has no right to benefit under or to enforce any term of this Rental Agreement.
(b) Governing Law. Any dispute arising from or related to this Rental Agreement, your access to or use of the Service, or your rental of any Rental Products hereunder will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles.
