(b) Independent shop owners of Partner Shops are the only ones responsible for the products and designs they offer in their shops, the way they design their shops, and the way they promote their products. Hidiy does not use any of their designs or products until a customer orders something that has one of those designs or products.
4. Product Transactions
(a)When a customer places an order using Hidiy’s website and service, they are making a binding offer to buy a product or, as the case may be, a product with custom work and materials from Hidiy only (there is no contract between the customer and any shop owner). Hidiy sends an email to the customer to confirm the order. The email is not an acceptance of the offer, but only a confirmation that the order was received. The offer is only accepted when Hidiy sends another email to confirm that the product is ready for shipping. Hidiy cannot guarantee that all products and designs on its website will always be available.
(b) Information, drawings, figures, technical data, specifications of weight, measurements and services in brochures, catalogues, newsletters, ads, or price lists are for reference only. Hidiy cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information, and if there is any difference between the information above and the information in the order confirmation email, the order confirmation email prevails.
(c)Hidiy has the right to cancel orders for any reason or no reason. If Hidiy cancels an order, it will inform the customer.
(d) Hidiy’s delivery of an order is completed when the delivery service delivers the product to the customer’s address, according to the records of the delivery service. If there is a problem with the delivery, and Hidiy cannot replace the order in a reasonable time, Hidiy will let the customer know as soon as possible.
(e) If there is a problem with the product or if the customer is not happy with their order for any reason, Hidiy’s return policy will apply, which Hidiy may change at any time at its own discretion.

Usually, goods are sent within a few days and typical delivery times are 2-4 days, but in some situations shipment and delivery can take up to three weeks. Customers and Hidiymay agree on more specific delivery times and terms in a separate document or agreement (such as a request for express shipping).

We also agree that the arbitration will be done by a neutral person or organization that we both agree on, and if we can’t agree, then by the American Arbitration Association; we will only make claims as individuals, and not as a group, class, or representative of others; and the decision of the arbitrator is final, binding, and can be enforced by any court that has the power to do so.
(b) If anyone tries to start a legal action or claim against the arbitration rules in paragraph 13(a), we agree that the state and federal courts of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, have the power and authority to deal with it, and we both give up the right to have a jury trial. Any legal action or claim that goes against paragraph 13(a) is not valid, and the party that did not start it can recover all the legal fees and costs related to dismissing the invalid action or claim after they have given written notice of the invalidity.
