  1. CONDITION AND CARE OF MERCHANDISE.

Pre-inspection of Merchandise. Beekman New York will inspect, repair and clean every piece of Merchandise before delivery to you to ensure that Merchandise is shipped in top condition.

Care of Merchandise. While in your possession, we expect you to handle the Merchandise with the utmost of care. You should keep the Merchandise in your possession and under your control at all times. You are prohibited from letting anyone else use or wear it for any purpose. You agree to never place Merchandise in a checked bag when traveling and to wear the Merchandise or keep it on Your person when you are en route.

You shall never leave Merchandise in your hotel room or leave it unattended and unprotected. You are prohibited from leaving Merchandise in the hotel room safe. You may leave Merchandise in the hotel lobby safe/vault, if one exists, but you are responsible for any loss arising from your placement of Merchandise in a hotel lobby safe/vault.

Post-inspection of Merchandise. Once Merchandise is returned, it will be inspected for damage. When Merchandise is returned free of damage, if you had a  Security Deposit hold on your Method of Payment it will be released. Beekman New York’s borrowing rate assumes a minimal amount of wear which may occur with a borrowing use consistent with wearing high quality Merchandise responsibly. Unusual wear or any damage, abnormal dirt or foreign substances on any Merchandise gives the Company the right to charge your Method of Payment, in the Company’s sole discretion, for the cost of repair or cleaning.

Damage to Merchandise. In the event of damage to Merchandise that is beyond repair, we have the right to charge your Method of Payment for 100% of the retail replacement value of the Merchandise. The amount to be charged is left to the Company’s sole discretion based on our assessment of the damage.

Liquidated Damages. If the Merchandise is returned more than fourteen (14) days after the Return Date for any reason under this Agreement, as Liquidated Damages we will have the right to charge your Method of Payment an amount up to 100% of the replacement value attributable to each such item.

You agree and acknowledge that the Liquidated Damages provided for by this paragraph are intended as compensation to Beekman New York and are not intended to be a punishment or penalty, because the damages that the Company would suffer by way of failure to return Merchandise without express notice other than within fourteen (14) days after the Return Date are incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation because of factors including, without limitation, the Company’s recovery of anticipated profits, the loss of sales and reputation due to unavailability of items, fluctuations in the value of gems and precious metals, and changes in the Company’s insurance rates or the availability of insurance coverage. For the foregoing reasons, you agree with Beekman New York that the amounts fixed above are a reasonable forecast of just compensation to the Company in the event of failure to return the items other than within fourteen (14) days after the Return Date.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such case, the aggregate liability of the Beekman New York Parties shall be limited to the lesser of (i) one hundred dollars ($100.00), or (ii) the amount of Borrowing Fees paid as of the selected date giving rise to such cause of action occurs.

No Indirect Damages.

Limited Direct Damages. Beekman New York’s (and its suppliers’ and licensors’) aggregate liability arising out of this agreement, the products and/or services related thereto, whether based upon warranty, contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, shall not exceed the applicable borrowing fees paid by you for the applicable product and/or service.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the Terms, constitutes the entire agreement between you, the Client, and us, Beekman New York, with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you, the member, and the Company, Beekman New York, with respect to such subject matter.

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall apply only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and that provision and this Agreement generally shall be reformed, construed and enforced so as to most nearly give lawful effect to the intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement.

Governing Law and Disputes.  Any dispute you have with Beekman New York, including disputes arising from the use of the Beekman New York website, the Beekman New York App, the Company Privacy Policy, or this Client Agreement, shall be resolved through binding arbitration in New York City before AAA arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

You hereby submit to binding arbitration before AAA, and you waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at our corporate office, designated in the “Contact Us” tab.  The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Indemnification.  You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Beekman New York harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including without limitation taxes, reasonable fees and costs for attorneys and investigations) arising out of, based on, or in connection with your failure to pay applicable taxes, breach of this Agreement, or your access to or other use of any Merchandise.

Assumption of Risk. You assume sole and exclusive responsibility and liability for any claims against you and/or damages arising from use of the products during your borrowing period.

Force Majeure.  In no event shall the Company be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is due to causes beyond our reasonable control including, but not limited to acts of God, fire or explosion, war, invasion, riot, or other civil unrest, governmental laws, orders, restrictions, actions, embargoes, or blockages, national or regional emergency, failure of common carriers including Malca-Amit or Federal Express, and injunctions, strikes, lockouts, labor trouble, or other industrial disturbances.

Modification and Termination. Modifications may be made only by Beekman New York in writing. We reserve the right to terminate or amend this Agreement at any time for any or no reason, effective upon notice to You of such termination or amendment.
