Welcome to Vision Path, Inc. (Hubble)! We really hate to put you through this, but these Terms of Service contain all sorts of important information you should have when visiting hubblecontacts.com and buying our fabulous contact lenses, glasses, and other products.
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST VISION PATH, INC.

(“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) provides its services (described below) to you through its website located at hubblecontacts.com (the “Site”) and through its related services (collectively, such services, including any new features, and the Site, the “Service(s)”), subject to the following Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service”). Please note that these Terms of Service do not apply to other websites operated by the Company, including contactscart.com. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted or notice is sent, as applicable, except that changes addressing new functions of the Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy located here. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

You represent and warrant to the Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment method concerned.

The Service is for your personal use only.
3. Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service
3.1 Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service Description:
The Service makes our Hubble contact lenses available directly to you by means of a subscription plan. We aim to make the process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. Please note, however, that the Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from the Company for prescribing Hubble contact lenses and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between the Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that the Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment. However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
3.2 Notice:
WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
3.3 Your Obligations Regarding Your Contact Lens Prescription:
You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Hubble contact lenses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Before we ship any contact lenses to you, we are required to either review a copy of your current prescription or contact your medical professional regarding the prescription information you provide to us. If you do not provide us with a copy of your prescription when you place your order, there is a chance you may order, and receive, contact lenses other than those you were prescribed. By completing your purchase, you are consenting to us contacting your medical professional for that purpose. Additionally, if we need to contact your medical professional again in the future -- whether because your prescription is expiring, you told us that the powers of your lenses has changed, or for another reason—we will contact you in advance. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here.
3.4 Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals:
We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them.
3.5 Subscription and Subscription Cancellation:
If you are a new customer, your first shipment will consist of 30 discounted Hubble lenses. After that first shipment, no fewer than 16 days after you placed an order for those first 30 Hubble lenses, you will be charged for a monthly shipment of lenses, plus shipping and handling, every 28 days unless you cancel your subscription. You can make your Hubble subscription work better for you visiting your user profile, where you can delay upcoming shipments or change your order cadence. You may cancel your subscription at any time. The best way to cancel is through your user profile. You can also cancel by chatting with a customer service agent or giving us a call at 1-844-334-1640. You can reach us between 9 AM and 9 PM ET, seven days a week (excluding federal holidays).
3.6 Hubble Contact Lens Returns:
As long as your contact lenses are in their original, unopened boxes, you may return them for any reason within 14 days of receipt to receive a full refund (excluding shipping costs). Additionally, you may exchange your contact lenses at no cost within 14 days of receipt if you have opened the box and found that they are different from what you ordered or are defective. The fastest way to initiate your return or exchange is to contact us via chat or phone at +1-844-334-1640 to request a pre-paid mailing label. In order to receive your refund or exchange, you then have 14 days to drop off your return at the shipping carrier before the mailing label is voided.
Your return must include all of the contact lens boxes that you received in the shipment. For example, if you signed up to receive three months of contact lenses per order, then your return must include all three months' worth of contact lenses.
4. Frames By Hubble Service
4.1 Frames by Hubble Service Description:
The Service makes our Frames by Hubble glasses directly to you through convenient online purchases.
4.2. Your Obligations Regarding Your Glasses Prescription:
You must have a valid glasses prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Frames by Hubble glasses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Please keep in mind that you need separate prescriptions for glasses and for contact lenses. The two types of prescriptions are not interchangeable and require different parameters. You consent to us contacting your eye care provider to obtain information about your glasses prescription if it is necessary for us to do so. Your prescription information is covered by our Privacy Policy.
4.3. Frames by Hubble Returns:
You may return your Frames by Hubble shipment for any reason within 14 days of your receipt of your Frames by Hubble, and we will issue you a full refund less a restocking fee of $5.00. We will cover the costs of returning your Frames by Hubble shipment back to us. To initiate a return, please email us at frames@hubblecontacts.com or call us at 1 (844) 334-1640 within the 14-day return period to request a pre-paid mailing label. In order to receive your refund, you then have 14 days to drop off your return at the shipping carrier before the mailing label is voided. You also must return your Frames by Hubble shipment in its entirety, including the frames, lenses, eyeglasses case, and lens cloth.
4.4. Manufacturing and Other Defects:
If you think our factory made a manufacturing error when they made your Frames by Hubble glasses, or if you believe the product you received is different from what you ordered, please contact us at frames@hubblecontacts.com within the fourteen-day return period. If we made a mistake, we will do our best to make it right for you. If you discover another defect after the fourteen-day return window has elapsed, please contact us at frames@hubblecontacts.com with a description of the issue. Our lenses are guaranteed against defects that become apparent over time, such as crazing, yellowing, or peeling, for one year from the shipment date. The guarantees in this section 4.4 do not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, usage other than as prescribed and intended for the correction of vision, or sudden impacts or the application of force.
5. Other Products
We may occasionally make other products available through the Service. Unless we indicate otherwise, those products are sold “as-is,” without any warranties (express or implied), and they may not be returned.

13. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate:
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
13.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief:
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 EXTENTNECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEFNECESSITATEDBY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
13.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution:
The Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., PO Box 20589, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
13.4 Arbitration Procedures:
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
13.5 Confidentiality:
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.
13.6 Severability:
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
13.7 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement:
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending the Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
14. Termination
You agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. the Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
15. General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and the Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of the Company, but the Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST VISION PATH, INC. ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted or notice is sent, as applicable, except that changes addressing new functions of the Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy located here. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

3. Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service
3.1 Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service Description:
The Service makes our Hubble contact lenses available directly to you by means of a subscription plan. We aim to make the process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. Please note, however, that the Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from the Company for prescribing Hubble contact lenses and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between the Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that the Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment. However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
3.2 Notice:
WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
3.3 Your Obligations Regarding Your Contact Lens Prescription:
You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Hubble contact lenses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Before we ship any contact lenses to you, we are required to either review a copy of your current prescription or contact your medical professional regarding the prescription information you provide to us. If you do not provide us with a copy of your prescription when you place your order, there is a chance you may order, and receive, contact lenses other than those you were prescribed. By completing your purchase, you are consenting to us contacting your medical professional for that purpose. Additionally, if we need to contact your medical professional again in the future -- whether because your prescription is expiring, you told us that the powers of your lenses has changed, or for another reason—we will contact you in advance. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here.
3.4 Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals:
We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them.
3.5 Subscription and Subscription Cancellation:
If you are a new customer, your first shipment will consist of 30 discounted Hubble lenses. After that first shipment, no fewer than 16 days after you placed an order for those first 30 Hubble lenses, you will be charged for a monthly shipment of lenses, plus shipping and handling, every 28 days unless you cancel your subscription. You can make your Hubble subscription work better for you visiting your user profile, where you can delay upcoming shipments or change your order cadence. You may cancel your subscription at any time. The best way to cancel is through your user profile. You can also cancel by chatting with a customer service agent or giving us a call at 1-844-334-1640. You can reach us between 9 AM and 9 PM ET, seven days a week (excluding federal holidays).
3.6 Hubble Contact Lens Returns:
As long as your contact lenses are in their original, unopened boxes, you may return them for any reason within 14 days of receipt to receive a full refund (excluding shipping costs). Additionally, you may exchange your contact lenses at no cost within 14 days of receipt if you have opened the box and found that they are different from what you ordered or are defective. The fastest way to initiate your return or exchange is to contact us via chat or phone at +1-844-334-1640 to request a pre-paid mailing label. In order to receive your refund or exchange, you then have 14 days to drop off your return at the shipping carrier before the mailing label is voided.

The Service makes our Frames by Hubble glasses directly to you through convenient online purchases.
4.2. Your Obligations Regarding Your Glasses Prescription:
You must have a valid glasses prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Frames by Hubble glasses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Please keep in mind that you need separate prescriptions for glasses and for contact lenses. The two types of prescriptions are not interchangeable and require different parameters. You consent to us contacting your eye care provider to obtain information about your glasses prescription if it is necessary for us to do so. Your prescription information is covered by our Privacy Policy.
4.3. Frames by Hubble Returns:
You may return your Frames by Hubble shipment for any reason within 14 days of your receipt of your Frames by Hubble, and we will issue you a full refund less a restocking fee of $5.00.

You also must return your Frames by Hubble shipment in its entirety, including the frames, lenses, eyeglasses case, and lens cloth.
4.4. Manufacturing and Other Defects:
If you think our factory made a manufacturing error when they made your Frames by Hubble glasses, or if you believe the product you received is different from what you ordered, please contact us at frames@hubblecontacts.com within the fourteen-day return period. If we made a mistake, we will do our best to make it right for you. If you discover another defect after the fourteen-day return window has elapsed, please contact us at frames@hubblecontacts.com with a description of the issue. Our lenses are guaranteed against defects that become apparent over time, such as crazing, yellowing, or peeling, for one year from the shipment date. The guarantees in this section 4.4 do not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, usage other than as prescribed and intended for the correction of vision, or sudden impacts or the application of force.
5. Other Products
We may occasionally make other products available through the Service. Unless we indicate otherwise, those products are sold “as-is,” without any warranties (express or implied), and they may not be returned.

13. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate:
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
13.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief:
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 EXTENTNECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEFNECESSITATEDBY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
13.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution:
The Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., PO Box 20589, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
13.4 Arbitration Procedures:
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
13.5 Confidentiality:
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.
13.6 Severability:
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
13.7 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement:
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending the Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
14. Termination
You agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. the Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
15. General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and the Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of the Company, but the Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST VISION PATH, INC.

Please note that these Terms of Service do not apply to other websites operated by the Company, including contactscart.com. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication.

Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy located here. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

3. Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service
3.1 Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service Description:
The Service makes our Hubble contact lenses available directly to you by means of a subscription plan. We aim to make the process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. Please note, however, that the Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from the Company for prescribing Hubble contact lenses and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between the Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that the Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment. However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
3.2 Notice:
WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
3.3 Your Obligations Regarding Your Contact Lens Prescription:
You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Hubble contact lenses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Before we ship any contact lenses to you, we are required to either review a copy of your current prescription or contact your medical professional regarding the prescription information you provide to us. If you do not provide us with a copy of your prescription when you place your order, there is a chance you may order, and receive, contact lenses other than those you were prescribed. By completing your purchase, you are consenting to us contacting your medical professional for that purpose. Additionally, if we need to contact your medical professional again in the future -- whether because your prescription is expiring, you told us that the powers of your lenses has changed, or for another reason—we will contact you in advance. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here.
3.4 Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals:
We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them.
3.5 Subscription and Subscription Cancellation:
If you are a new customer, your first shipment will consist of 30 discounted Hubble lenses. After that first shipment, no fewer than 16 days after you placed an order for those first 30 Hubble lenses, you will be charged for a monthly shipment of lenses, plus shipping and handling, every 28 days unless you cancel your subscription. You can make your Hubble subscription work better for you visiting your user profile, where you can delay upcoming shipments or change your order cadence. You may cancel your subscription at any time. The best way to cancel is through your user profile. You can also cancel by chatting with a customer service agent or giving us a call at 1-844-334-1640. You can reach us between 9 AM and 9 PM ET, seven days a week (excluding federal holidays).
3.6 Hubble Contact Lens Returns:
It’s important to us that you are 100% happy with the Service and your Hubble contact lenses. While we do not accept returns of Hubble contact lenses, please don’t let that stop you from getting in touch about any issue with your order! (Particularly if we made a mistake, which we work hard to avoid, but can happen every now and again.) In the unlikely event that any of the Hubble contact lenses you receive are different than what you ordered, are defective, or are in open blister packs, we will replace those lenses at no cost to you. Please just email us at help@hubblecontacts.com or call 1-844-334-1640 to speak with us about the problem so that we can resolve it with you as efficiently and painlessly as possible and set things right. (Kentucky residents may also call us at (859) 577-7538.) If you started your Hubble subscription before November 1, 2018, Hubble’s previous return policy, which you can find here, may still apply to you. If you are unhappy with the Service or your Hubble contact lenses for any other reason, please reach out to us at help@hubblecontacts.com or 1-844-334-1640 and give us a chance to make you HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed.

You consent to us contacting your eye care provider to obtain information about your glasses prescription if it is necessary for us to do so.

If we made a mistake, we will do our best to make it right for you. If you discover another defect after the fourteen-day return window has elapsed, please contact us at frames@hubblecontacts.com with a description of the issue. Our lenses are guaranteed against defects that become apparent over time, such as crazing, yellowing, or peeling, for one year from the shipment date.

13. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate:
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
13.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief:
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 EXTENTNECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEFNECESSITATEDBY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
13.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution:
The Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., PO Box 20589, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
13.4 Arbitration Procedures:
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
13.5 Confidentiality:
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.
13.6 Severability:
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
13.7 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement:
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending the Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
14. Termination
You agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. the Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
15. General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and the Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the courtshould endeavorto give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version ofthis agreement and of any notice given in electronic formwill be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of the Company, but the Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

Please note that these Terms of Service do not apply to other websites operated by the Company, including contactscart.com. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted or notice is sent, as applicable, except that changes addressing new functions of the Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy located here. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

3. Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service
3.1 Hubble Contact Lens Subscription Service Description:
The Service makes our Hubble contact lenses available directly to you by means of a subscription plan. We aim to make the process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. Please note, however, that the Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from the Company for prescribing Hubble contact lenses and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between the Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that the Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment. However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
3.2 Notice:
WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
3.3 Your Obligations Regarding Your Contact Lens Prescription:
You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to purchase Hubble contact lenses through the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. Before we ship any contact lenses to you, we are required to either review a copy of your current prescription or contact your medical professional regarding the prescription information you provide to us. If you do not provide us with a copy of your prescription when you place your order, there is a chance you may order, and receive, contact lenses other than those you were prescribed. By completing your purchase, you are consenting to us contacting your medical professional for that purpose. Additionally, if we need to contact your medical professional again in the future -- whether because your prescription is expiring, you told us that the powers of your lenses has changed, or for another reason—we will contact you in advance. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here.
3.4 Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals:
We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them.
3.5 Subscription and Subscription Cancellation:
If you are a new customer, your first shipment will consist of 30 discounted Hubble lenses. After that first shipment, beginning 16 days after you placed an order for those first 30 Hubble lenses, you will be charged for the lenses plus shipping and handling every 28 days unless you cancel your subscription. If you are ever overstocked with Hubble lenses or need to delay a shipment for any reason, you can do that in your account page. If you wish to cancel your subscription you may do so at any time by calling us at 1-844-334-1640 between 9AM and 5PM ET, Monday through Friday, and 1PM and 5PM on Saturday, excluding federal holidays. (Kentucky residents may also call us at (859) 577-7538.) Notice for California and New York users: California and New York customers may also cancel their subscriptions via email at help@hubblecontacts.com.
3.6 Hubble Contact Lens Returns:
It’s important to us that you are 100% happy with the Service and your Hubble contact lenses. While we do not accept returns of Hubble contact lenses, please don’t let that stop you from getting in touch about any issue with your order! (Particularly if we made a mistake, which we work hard to avoid, but can happen every now and again.) In the unlikely event that any of the Hubble contact lenses you receive are different than what you ordered, are defective, or are in open blister packs, we will replace those lenses at no cost to you. Please just email us at help@hubblecontacts.com or call 1-844-334-1640 to speak with us about the problem so that we can resolve it with you as efficiently and painlessly as possible and set things right. (Kentucky residents may also call us at (859) 577-7538.) If you started your Hubble subscription before November 1, 2018, Hubble’s previous return policy, which you can find here, may still apply to you. If you are unhappy with the Service or your Hubble contact lenses for any other reason, please reach out to us at help@hubblecontacts.com or 1-844-334-1640 and give us a chance to make you HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

If we made a mistake, we will do our best to make it right for you.

13. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate:
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
13.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief:
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 EXTENTNECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEFNECESSITATEDBY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
13.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution:
The Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., PO Box 20589, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
13.4 Arbitration Procedures:
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
13.5 Confidentiality:
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.
13.6 Severability:
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
13.7 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement:
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending the Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
14. Termination
You agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. the Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
15. General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and the Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

TERMS OF SERVICE
Date of Last Revision: May 24, 2019
Welcome to Vision Path, Inc. (Hubble Contacts)! We really hate to put you through this, but these Terms of Service contain all sorts of important information you should have when visiting hubblecontacts.com and buying our fabulous lenses.
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNDER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST VISION PATH, INC. ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Vision Path, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) provides its services (described below) to you through its website located at www.hubblecontacts.com (the “Site”) and through its related services (collectively, such services, including any new features, and the Site, the “Service(s)”), subject to the following Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service”). Please note that these Terms of Service do not apply to other websites operated by the Company, including www.contactscart.com. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted or notice is sent, as applicable, except that changes addressing new functions of the Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
In addition, when using certain services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy located here. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.
Access and Use of the Service
- Services Description: The Service is designed to sell our Hubble contact lenses directly to you by means of a subscription plan. More information about the Hubble subscription offering is in Section 6, below. We aim to make the process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. Please note, however, that Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from Company and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment. However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
Notice: WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
- a)Your Obligations Regarding Your Prescription: You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to use the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. But please don’t worry because, before we ship any product to you, we’ll reach out to your medical professional to verify that we have the correct prescription information. Additionally, as you will be alerted before you click "checkout", we'll reach out to your doctor when your prescription is expiring to ensure it's still valid and accurate and that shipments to you may continue uninterrupted. But we'll check in with you before contacting your doctor to re-verify your prescription.
Additionally, it is your responsibility to ensure you are using and providing a valid email address. If the email address you provide is incorrect, the services you request may be interrupted and we will not be responsible for that interruption. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service only with the approval of your parent or guardian.
b)Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals: We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them. For verification responses, we use a specially designed fax system so there is never a busy signal when offices are trying to send a fax.
- Member Account, Password and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
- Modifications to Service: Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

service carrier’s standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply.
Conditions of Use
- No Medical or Other Professional Advice Rendered: You acknowledge that any information offered on the Service or otherwise to you by Company is intended for informational purposes only and not as a substitute for the advice of your medical professional. It is essential that you not make any medical decisions without first consulting with your medical professional. Company’s communications with you, whether on the Service or through emails or other direct forms of communication, do not create a medical professional-patient relationship in any respect nor do they represent an expansion of Company’s Privacy Policy. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such content.

- Fees: To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan and provide Company information regarding your credit card. You represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the credit card concerned. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Company the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. You hereby authorize Company to bill your payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis, in accordance with the subscription plan you select, until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred including but not limited to any charges due at the time of termination. If you dispute any charges you must advise Company within sixty (60) days after the date that Company charges you. We reserve the right to change Company’s prices. If Company does change
prices, Company will provide notice of the change on the Service or in email to you, at Company’s option, at least 20 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. (Company may lower the price of our Hubble contact lenses or other products and we will also notify you should that occur.) You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.
- Special Notice for International Use; Export Controls: Software (defined below) available in connection with the Service and the transmission of applicable data, if any, is subject to United States export controls. No Software may be downloaded from the Service or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of U.S. export laws. Downloading or using the Software is at your sole risk.

The Service is for your personal use only.
6.Subscription and Subscription Cancellation: If you are a new customer, your first shipment will consist of 30 discounted Hubble lenses after we verify your contact lens prescription. After that first shipment, beginning 16 days after you placed an order for those first 30 Hubble lenses, you will be charged for the lenses plus shipping and handling every 28 days unless you cancel your subscription. If you are ever overstocked with Hubble lenses or need to delay a shipment for any reason, you can do that in your account page. If you wish to cancel your subscription you may do so at any time by calling us at 1-844-334-1640 between 9AM and 5PM EST, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Notice for California Users: California customers may also cancel their subscriptions via email at help@hubblecontacts.com.
7.Return Policy: It’s important to us that you are 100% happy with the Service and your Hubble contact lenses. While Hubble does not accept returns, please don’t let that stop you from getting in touch about any issue with your order! (Particularly if we made a mistake, which we work hard to avoid, but can happen every now and again.) In the unlikely event that any of the Hubble contact lenses you receive are different than what you ordered, are defective, or are in open blister packs, we will replace those lenses at no cost to you. Please just email Company at help@hubblecontacts.com or call 1-844-334-1640 to speak with us about the problem so that we can resolve it with you as efficiently and painlessly as possible and set things right.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
- Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows,
seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND COMPANY 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).
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., PO Box 20589, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.
- Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer- Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
- Confidentiality
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.
- Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
- Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
Termination
You agree that Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Company, but Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
Your Privacy

Access and Use of the Service
- Services Description: The Service is designed to sell our Hubble contact lenses directly to you by means of the subscription plan you select. We aim to make that process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. If it is more convenient, Company can assist you in booking the appointment. Please note, however, that Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from Company and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment.
However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.
Notice for California Users: WARNING: IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY UNEXPLAINED EYE DISCOMFORT, WATERING, VISION CHANGE, OR REDNESS, REMOVE YOUR LENSES IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE WEARING YOUR LENSES AGAIN.
- a)Your Obligations Regarding Your Prescription: You must have a valid Hubble prescription from a qualified medical professional to use the Service. It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. But please don’t worry because, before we ship any product to you, we’ll reach out to your medical professional to verify that we have the correct prescription information. Additionally, as you will be alerted before you click "checkout", we'll reach out to your doctor when your prescription is expiring to ensure it's still valid and accurate and that shipments to you may continue uninterrupted. But we'll check in with you before contacting your doctor to re-verify your prescription.
Additionally, it is your responsibility to ensure you are using and providing a valid email address. If the email address you provide is incorrect, the services you request may be interrupted and we will not be responsible for that interruption. Your prescription information, email address and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy located here. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service only with the approval of your parent or guardian.
b)Verification Process Notice for Medical Professionals: We use voicemail and phone for outbound verification communications. Our preferred mode of communication whenever possible is voicemail to not tie up doctors' phone lines when their offices are open, and patients are trying to call them. For verification responses, we use a specially designed fax system so there is never a busy signal when offices are trying to send a fax.
- Member Account, Password and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service.

You hereby authorize Company to bill your payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis, in accordance with the subscription plan you select, until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred including but not limited to any charges due at the time of termination. If you dispute any charges you must advise Company within sixty (60) days after the date that Company charges you. We reserve the right to change Company’s prices. If Company does change
prices, Company will provide notice of the change on the Service or in email to you, at Company’s option, at least 20 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. (Company may lower the price of our Hubble contact lenses or other products and we will also notify you should that occur.) You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.
- Special Notice for International Use; Export Controls: Software (defined below) available in connection with the Service and the transmission of applicable data, if any, is subject to United States export controls.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
- Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows,
seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND COMPANY 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).
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., 1841 Broadway, Suite 300, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.
- Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer- Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
- Confidentiality
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.
- Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
- Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
Termination
You agree that Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Company, but Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

Access and Use of the Service
- Services Description: The Service is designed to sell our Hubble contact lenses directly to you by means of the subscription plan you select. We aim to make that process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. If it is more convenient, Company can assist you in booking the appointment. Please note, however, that Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors. To be clear, these medical professionals do not receive any form of compensation from Company and they will only prescribe Hubble contact lenses for you if they believe Hubble contact lenses are the most suitable contact lenses for you. In view of the totally independent relationship between Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional. Also, please keep in mind that, just like any visit to your doctor, you are responsible for the cost of your appointment.
However, many of these medical professionals accept vision insurance (assuming you have appropriate coverage remaining). Please contact help@hubblecontacts.com for more information about the medical professionals in your area.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you enter requested information for use of the Service in full conformity with what your medical professional has prescribed. But please don’t worry because, before we ship any product to you, we’ll reach out to your medical professional to verify that we have the correct prescription information. Additionally, as you will be alerted before you click "checkout", we'll reach out to your doctor when your prescription is expiring to ensure it's still valid and accurate and that shipments to you may continue uninterrupted. But we'll check in with you before contacting your doctor to re-verify your prescription.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
- Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows,
seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US 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 YOU AND COMPANY 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).
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@hubblecontacts.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to Vision Path, Inc., 1841 Broadway, Suite 300, New York, NY 10023, Attention: President (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.
- Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer- Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable 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 these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Payment of all filing, administration, attorneys’ and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
- Confidentiality
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.
- Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Section titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) 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 or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Section above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
- Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
Termination
You agree that Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York, New York. The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Company, but Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

- Services Description: The Service is designed to sell our Hubble contact lenses directly to you by means of the subscription plan you select. We aim to make that process efficient and easy for you, for example, by providing the names of medical professionals in your area with whom you can make an appointment for a fitting and to obtain your prescription should you not currently have a valid Hubble contact lens prescription. If it is more convenient, Company can assist you in booking the appointment. Please note, however, that Company is not a healthcare provider and such medical professionals are not our employees or contractors.

In view of the totally independent relationship between Company and these medical professionals, you acknowledge that Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such medical professional.
