PAYMENT OPTIONS
The credit/debit card you provide will be used for all future purchases and charges, including purchases of Member Credits. You must keep a valid credit/debit card on file during the term of your membership and you must keep us up-to-date with accurate member information, including your name, address, credit or debit card number and expiration date. You agree that we may update your information with information your bank or credit card issuer may supply.
Once you become a member, if you wish to change your credit/debit card, just visit the “Account” section of our website. You can also change or edit your payment method when placing an order or making a payment with your credit/debit card. We will continue to apply your payments under this payment method unless you change your payment preference in the account section of the website, or notify us through Member Services to change your billing preference. We accept payment by credit/debit card (i.e., American Express, VISA, Discover and MasterCard).
If you have selected a credit or debit card as your payment method and the charge cannot be processed on that card (for example, the card has expired or we cannot obtain authorization from your card issuer), then for your convenience, we will attempt to charge any other credit or debit card that you have placed on file with us, in order to prevent disruption of your membership. We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank, credit card or debit card issuer may apply. If your credit card issuer reverses a charge to your credit card, we may bill your account directly and seek payment by another method through a mailed statement. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus.
FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY
All products purchased through Crossings Book Club are intended for personal use only and not for resale or any other commercial purpose. We reserve the right to cancel the account of any member suspected of violating this requirement and may limit the number of copies/titles that may be ordered on any account.
NOTICE OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Bookspan LLC and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement, as broadly interpreted to include any aspect of our relationship, including claims related to advertising. You thus give up your right to go to court, except that you may bring an action against us in small claims court. The arbitration will be under the prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules, including how to initiate a claim, are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879. If you choose arbitration, your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not by a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court.
Arbitrations will be conducted by one Arbitrator and will be Desk Arbitrations unless you or we request a Telephonic Hearing (as defined by AAA Rules). There will be no In-Person Hearing unless a claim seeks more than $75,000. We will pay all filing, Administration, and arbitrator fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that your claim had no reasonable foundation or was brought for an improper purpose, in which case the Arbitrator must order you to pay those costs. After you notify us that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you the filing fee. If the Arbitrator issues an award in your favor on the merits of your claim that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before the Arbitrator was selected, then the arbitrator also may award you your reasonable attorney’s fees. We will not seek attorney’s fees from you even if we prevail. The arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.
The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the party seeking relief and only as necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. You and Bookspan LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Bookspan LLC agree otherwise, the Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
