1.       APPLICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE

The websites, applications, and e-commerce platforms (collectively, “Sites”) that link to this Terms of Use (“Terms”) are owned and operated by Bunzl Distribution USA, LLC, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Bunzl,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). For purposes of these Terms, “you” or “your” means the person accessing the Sites and any persons that allow others to provide information about themselves to us. The Sites may provide information about Bunzl products and services and, in certain instances, the ability to purchase products online directly or information on where to purchase Bunzl products (collectively, “Services”).

THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE A BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THROUGH ALL SECTIONS OF THESE TERMS. YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITES IS SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE SITES IF YOU VIOLATE THESE TERMS. BY CLICKING ON LINKS WITHIN THE SITES OR WEBPAGES BEYOND THE SITES’ HOMEPAGES OR CLICKING ON A BOX OR ICON YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS WHETHER OR NOT YOU COMPLETE A TRANSACTION WITH BUNZL AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU COMPLETE YOUR TRANSACTION ON THE SITES OR THROUGH OTHER CHANNELS, SUCH AS BY TELEPHONE, EMAIL, FACSIMILE OR OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITES, ANY SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITES, OR ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SITES.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. These Terms contain a mandatory (binding) arbitration provision and class action and jury trial waiver clauses. Except for certain types of disputes described in the arbitration section below or where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that disputes between you and us regarding your use of the Sites or Services will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and you waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration, including as a class representative. The arbitrator’s decision will be subject to very limited review by a court. You will be entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. For more details, see below.

We may make changes to the content available on the Sites at any time. We can change, update, add, or remove provisions of these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms on the Sites. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any material changes to these Terms however we are not obligated to. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes to these Terms except for changes to our agreement to arbitration, which is discussed more fully below. By using the Sites after we have updated the Terms, you are agreeing to the then-current Terms. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms.

In addition to these Terms, your use of certain Sites and Services may be governed by additional agreements.

2.       PRIVACY POLICY

Besides these Terms, we also publish a Privacy Policy. Although it is not part of these Terms, we encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage, access, and delete your information. 

3.       ACCESSING THE SITES AND SERVICES

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Sites, and any Services or Materials (defined below) we provide on the Sites, in our sole discretion and without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Sites are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, in our sole discretion and without notice, we may restrict access to some parts of the Sites, or an entire site, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Sites.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the Sites through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and comply with them.

To access the Sites or some of the resources the Sites offer, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information, or to create an account. It is a condition of your use of the Sites that all the information you provide on the Sites is correct, current, and complete, and that you have the authority to provide such information to us.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Sites or portions of the Sites using your username, password, or other security information. If you permit other persons to use your computer or mobile device, login information or any other means to access the Services, you will be held responsible for any transactions they undertake, and we will not be liable for any damages resulting to you.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you sign out of or exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, or any account you create, at any time in our sole discretion for any reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms.

BY PROVIDING THE SERVICES ON THE SITES, WE DO NOT IN ANY WAY PROMISE THAT THE SERVICES WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE TO YOU. WE ARE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE ALL OR PART OF ANY OF THE SITES AT ANY TIME, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU.

19.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SITES WILL BE AVAILABLE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) OF THE TIME BECAUSE PUBLIC NETWORKS, SUCH AS THE INTERNET, OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE DISRUPTIONS. ALTHOUGH WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE MOST RELIABLE WEBSITE REASONABLY POSSIBLE, INTERRUPTIONS, AND DELAYS IN ACCESSING THE SITES ARE UNAVOIDABLE AND WE DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE LIABILITY OF BUNZL AND ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITES, THE MATERIALS, THE CONTENT OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE GREATER OF (A) AS APPLICABLE, THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY YOU OR THE PRICE OF THE SERVICES PURCHASED IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY USE OF THE SITES, OR ON ANY OTHER HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE ARE EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

20.      INDEMNIFICATION

22.      INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms. For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach shall be brought in the state or Federal courts located in Missouri. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.

23.      MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us as set forth in the “QUESTIONS” section below. 

In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, and with the exception of the claims for injunctive relief by us as described above and to the extent allowed by law, you hereby agree that either you or we may require any dispute, claim, or cause of action (“Claim”) between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the Sites, the Services, and any other actions with us (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) to be arbitrated on an individual (non-class) basis. However, both parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court (or a state court equivalent) for a Claim within the scope of its jurisdiction so long as the small claims action does not seek to certify a class, combine the claims of multiple persons, recover damages in excess of the limit for a small claim under applicable state law or is not transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to any different court. Additionally, if you are a California resident, you retain the right to obtain public injunctive relief from any court with proper jurisdiction.

THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. ADDITIONALLY, ANY ARBITRATION OF A CLAIM WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND, THEREFORE, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION; THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.

You and we agree that your use of the Services involves interstate commerce, and that this arbitration agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) set forth in Title 9 of the U.S. Code to the fullest extent possible, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, regardless of the origin or nature of the Claims at issue. The arbitrator must follow, to the extent applicable: (a) the substantive law of the state in which we entered into the transaction giving rise to this arbitration agreement; (b) the applicable statutes of limitations; and (c) claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator will not be bound by federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence or by state or local laws concerning arbitration proceedings.

If either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Claim through arbitration, even if the other party has already initiated litigation in court related to the Claim, by: (i) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party; (ii) initiating arbitration against the other party; or (iii) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.

If this is a consumer-purpose transaction, the applicable rules will be the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The applicable AAA rules and other information about arbitrating a claim under AAA, including how to submit a dispute to arbitration, may be obtained by visiting its website at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If AAA will not serve as the administrator of the arbitration, and you and we cannot then agree upon a substitute arbitrator, you and we shall request that a court with proper jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator. However, we will abide by the applicable AAA rules regardless of the forum. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where you accepted these Terms, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as provided in applicable statutes, the arbitrator’s award is not subject to review by the court and it cannot be appealed. The parties will have the option to request and receive a statement of reasons for the arbitration award.

If you elect to file the arbitration and this is a consumer-purpose transaction, you will pay the filing fee to the extent required by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules but not to exceed the cost of filing a lawsuit. Any amount above what it would cost you to file a lawsuit, we will pay. All other arbitration fees and expenses shall be allocated to us according to AAA rules. Except for the arbitration fees and expenses, each party shall pay its own costs and fees incurred (including attorneys’ fees), unless the arbitrator allocates them differently in accordance with applicable law. This paragraph applies only if this is a consumer-purpose transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, and except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the agreement to arbitration may be amended by us only upon advance notice to you. If we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitration (other than renumbering the agreement to align with any other amendment to the Terms) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding or action against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other Claims governed by this agreement to arbitration that have arisen or may arise between you and us. However, we may amend this agreement to arbitration and not provide you notice; in that case, the amendments will not apply to you and the agreement to arbitration contained in these Terms to which you agreed will continue to apply to you and us as if no amendments were made.  

If any part of this arbitration provision is invalid, all other parts of it remain valid. However, if the class action limitation is invalid, then this arbitration provision is invalid in its entirety, provided that the remaining Terms shall remain in full force and effect. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your use of the Sites, the Services, and any other actions with us.

You may reject this arbitration provision within five days of accepting the Terms by emailing us at [email protected] and including in the subject line “Rejection of Arbitration Provision” and the URL address of the website you were navigating.

24.      OTHER TERMS

Merger. These Terms (which hereby incorporate by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Sites) constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and us with respect to the Sites and information, software, products and services associated with it.

Severability. If any term or provision in these Terms is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final with all appeals exhausted, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken from these Terms in its entirety and the remainder of these Terms shall survive with the said offending provision eliminated.

Governing Law and Venue. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Without waiving the foregoing arbitration clause, you agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms (including but not limited to if you opt out of the mandatory arbitration provision) shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and Federal courts of St. Louis County, Missouri, except where the jurisdiction and venue are mandated by applicable assignment. 

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without our prior written consent. We may freely assign our obligations and rights under these Terms, including all personal information in our possession that we have collected during your use of the Sites as further described in our Privacy Policy.

No Waiver. No failure, omission or delay on the part of us in exercising any right under these Terms will preclude any other further exercise of that right or other right under these Terms.

Headings. Condition and section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
