Currently, we only ship to addresses within the United States. If you purchase a journaling subscription to Silk and Sonder through our Services, every thirty (30) days, we will send you a shipment of a Silk and Sonder journal from us. In an effort to provide the best possible service, your first subscription order might be queued as follows:

Thus, if you place a first order (subscription or gift) between the 26th and the 16th of the pre-preceding and preceding month, we hold your order and ship it with the intent of it arriving before the 1st of the month. While we do our best to guarantee the date of delivery, we do not assume any responsibility due to unplanned shipping or carrier delays, of which we cannot control.
If you place a first order (subscription or gift) after the 16th and before the 26th of the pre-preceding month, we will process your order but do not guarantee that it will arrive by the 1st of the month. We do, however, try to ship orders in a timely basis to ensure satisfactory customer experience.
Last, if you place a first order (subscription or gift) after the 26th of the pre-preceding month, we hold your order. You may wish to receive a journal earlier, even if it arrives into that month. We accommodate these requests if we have extra inventory. Please email hello@silkandsonder.com or visit our FAQs.

Our subscription term is thirty (30) days.

Your subscription will continue, and you will be charged, every thirty (30) days, until you choose to cancel. However, please note that all fees for the Services are non-refundable, so if you cancel your subscription, we will send you any outstanding supply of journals but will not refund you any amounts for shipments not received as of the date of cancellation. There is no subscription fee associated with your subscription. You will only be charged for the cost of the product and the cost of shipping and handling. After your initial thirty (30) day subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a "Renewal Commencement Date") and continue for an additional thirty (30) day period, at our then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at any time prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by logging into and going to the "Change/Cancel Membership" page of your "Account Settings" page.
If you do not wish your account to renew automatically, or if you want to cancel your subscription, please log in and go to the "Change/Cancel Membership" page on your "Account Settings" page.

16. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

This Section 16 is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Agreement.” The parties agree that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes between them arising out of, relating to, or resulting from this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Arbitration Agreement, and not any court action (other than a small claims court action to the extent the claim qualifies). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

This paragraph is the “class action waiver”. The parties agree that each party may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would, including without limitation, the limitation of liability provisions in this Agreement. You may visit http://www.adr.org for information on the AAA and http://www.adr.org/fileacase for information on how to file a claim against us.

The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Silk and Sonder may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on each party, but subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by either or both parties unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Services users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving you to the extent required by applicable law.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. Each party will be responsible for all other fees it incurs in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation, all attorney fees.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

If a court decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than the Class Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court decides that any of the provisions of the Class Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
