Your Account may also include billing information you provide to ESPRIT for pre-orders or for faster future purchases. You are solely responsible for all activities on your Account and for the security of your computer system. You may not reveal, share or otherwise allow others to use your password or Account. You agree that you are personally responsible for the use of your password and Account and for all of the communications and activities on the Platform that result from use of your login name and password. You may not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account, nor may you sell, charge others for the right to use, or transfer any product delivery other than if and as expressly permitted by these Terms. 


Please inform us immediately if you have any reason to believe that your password has become known to anyone else, or if the password or Account is being, or is likely to be used in an unauthorized manner.

As the Account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your Account, including your family or friends.  


You also understand and acknowledge that Accounts are user rights binding you to such an Account, and that ESPRIT does not recognize any transfer of Accounts or product delivery (including transfers by operation of law) from one holder to any third party. Each customer shall be the sole holder of his/her own Account, and a purchase grants the user only the single right to the delivery of a product. Your purchase is subject to product requirements which you must read before purchasing a product (the “Product”) of ESPRIT. The act of making a purchase constitutes your tacit understanding and compliance with these requirements. ESPRIT shall not be held responsible for any loss, incompatible or erroneous purchases. We encourage you to contact our customer services, in such an event, so we may resolve your problem to the best of our ability. 


Your online conduct is expected to be in good faith, non-abusive and not seeking any other personal interest other than the services provided by ESPRIT. ESPRIT reserves the right to take legal action if it finds that any of your activities on the Platform violate these Terms or the law.  

Cancellation of Account

You may cancel your Account at any time. You may cease using of an Account at any time or, if you choose so, you may request that we terminate your access to an Account. ESPRIT holds the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs incurred prior to the cancellation of your Account.  Any delinquent or unpaid Accounts must be settled before ESPRIT can allow you to register on the Platform again. 


ESPRIT may cancel your Account at any time, in the event that (a) ESPRIT closes down the Platform, or (b) you are in breach of any of these Terms. In the event that your Account is terminated or cancelled by ESPRIT for your violation of these Terms or improper or illegal activity, no refund, including any unused funds or credits in your Account, will be given. 

Stock Availability and Sales Fulfillment

Products are for sale within the limit of available stock. We try our best to note when items are out of stock, and in the event a Product is purchased when it has become out of stock, we will notify you and will either refund your Account the monies paid for that Product or provide you with the date the Product is expected to be back in stock. After you are notified such expected date, you may choose to keep your order or cancel that item via contacting customer support team. Offers for Products that are out of stock shall be valid on the condition that they can be obtained from ESPRIT’s suppliers. The processing and delivery of orders shall always be honoured upon availability of stock. 

Orders and Use of the Services

Your Product order constitutes a binding offer to purchase the said Products (“Product Order”). Upon the placement of a Product Order, we will send you a confirmation message followed by a confirmation email to you (“Automatic Order Confirmation”). The Automatic Order Confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of your Product Order, but a notice of acknowledgement. Your offer is only accepted and the contract of sale for a Product ordered by you is concluded, when the Product is dispatched to you and an e-mail confirmation is sent to you that the Product has been dispatched to you (the “Fulfillment Confirmation E-mail”). 


Automatic Order Confirmation errors may occur. Please check the Automatic Order Confirmation for errors and inform us immediately of any discrepancies. You guarantee all information provided when you place the Product Order(s) is true, accurate, up-to-date and complete.  


If your Product Order is dispatched in more than one package, you may receive a separate Fulfillment Confirmation E-mail for each package, and each Fulfillment Confirmation E-mail and corresponding dispatch will conclude a separate contract of sale for the Product(s) specified in that Fulfillment Confirmation E-mail.  


We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your Product Order (or otherwise cancel your Product Order) for any reason. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your Product Order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item or refuse to fulfil your Product Order (in whole or in part). We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any Product Order.  


Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your Product Order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either that: (a) we will issue a credit to your card or payment account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your card/account has already been charged for the Product Order); or (b) we will not charge your card/account for the cancelled portion of the Product Order or the quantity not provided. You will be responsible for, and your credit/debit card or other third-party payment account may be charged for, the payment of all fees associated with Product Order(s) already processed or shipped. We may refuse any Product Order that is connected with a previous credit card dispute.  We may refuse to accept any Product Order if fraudulent activity is suspected, and we may refuse to process any subsequent Product Order from a customer who has a history of placing fraudulent Product Order(s). 

Delivery of Physical Goods

Your ordered Product(s) shall be delivered to the address you indicated during the ordering procedure. The delivery day indicated on the Platform is strictly indicative and may vary with the progression of the Product Order. ESPRIT cannot be held responsible for any delayed delivery or the loss of a package by postal services or couriers and ensuing consequences. It is your responsibility to verify the good condition of their package(s) and its content upon receiving the package. In the event the package(s) or content are not in conformity with the Product Order, you shall put in writing on the delivery slip a full description of the content and disconformities, and shall contact our customer support team via the Contact Us page here and as indicated on www.esprit.us and follow the returns procedure provided by our customer support team.

You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your Product Order (including any applicable taxes, shipping and handling fees and surcharges) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us or our agents. Indirect taxes, value added taxes, fees, duty, import/export charges, or any similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the Products. The rate of such taxes, duties and charges are set by the destination state or country, and the amount applicable to your Product Order will be shown in the order summary when you check out the Product Order on the Platform. You are responsible for paying any such taxes, fees or charges imposed on your purchase. We shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable taxes, fees or charges for Product Orders to be delivered to addresses within any country, province, state, territory or local jurisdiction that we deem is required at the time of purchase.  


Your banking information may be stored by the payment service provider, only if you have selected the option of saving a credit/debit card to your name, for a future use during check out. ESPRIT only stores a record of your transaction with ESPRIT without access to your private banking details and credit history at any point.


Any attempted fraud or deception, regardless of scope, will immediately lead to further action, as part of which all related transaction data might be forwarded to the authorities. 


When you provide payment information to ESPRIT or to one of its payment service providers, you establish that you are the authorized user of the credit card, PIN, key or account associated with that payment, and you authorize ESPRIT to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the chosen third-party payment service provider for any purchases or fees chargeable to your Account or your Product Order. ESPRIT may require you to provide your address or other information in order to meet ESPRIT’s obligations under applicable law. 


You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on Product content, to purchase Product(s) at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, we may terminate your access to your Account or reject your Product Order. 


For more information about payments, please refer to our Payment FAQ.

For details, please refer to ESW’s Privacy Policy (which also details ESW’s use of cookies and cookie technologies) and its sales Terms & Conditions.


The Platform is operated by ESPRIT in the United States. We do not represent that the Products being sold, or the Content (as defined below) on the Platform are appropriate or available for use in countries outside the United States. If you purchase the Product and/or use the Platform from countries other than the United States, you are doing so on your own initiative, and you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with your purchase and/or the use of the Platform. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Platform and/or the provision of any Content, program, product, service, or other feature described or available on the Platform to any person, entity, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any Content, program, product, service, or other feature that we provide. You and we disclaim any application to these Terms of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. 


Please note that documentation such as user manuals, product care and handling instructions and safety warnings may not be in your language; you may not have available manufacturers or other service options for the Product or parts thereof; the Product(s) (and accompanying materials) may not be designed in accordance with the standards of the destination to which you order, product regulations, specifications or labelled in accordance with the requirements applicable in the destination or in your or the destination language. 

Customs

You agree to comply with all applicable import/export laws and regulations. You agree not to export the Product or allow use of your Account by individuals situated in a country subject to an embargo or prohibition of any form from the United States government, the European Union or NATO. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any such prohibited country. 


When ordering Product(s) on the Platform for delivery outside of the United States, you will be considered the “importer of record” of the Product in the destination country. You are responsible for assuring that the Product can be lawfully imported to the destination, and you therefore need to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, certifications and rules of the destination into which you import the Product. You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. The custom duties (if any) and estimated taxes will be shown in the order summary when you check out the Product Order on the Platform. Duties, taxes and other charges are determined by the customs agency at the destination and are the responsibility of you. These charges will be due at the time of delivery and are non-refundable. If you fail to pay applicable duties and taxes, the Product Order will be abandoned, and ESPRIT will not refund the abandoned Product Order, including shipping charges and fees. 


Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; ESPRIT has no control over these charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Please note the standard for using the Product in the destination before ordering. Product(s) ordered to a destination with different standards cannot be returned for this reason, and no liability will be assumed in any circumstances which may arise for purchasing Product(s) without the correct standards for your destination. Your privacy is important to us, and we would like our international customers to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. 


You agree that you will not re-export or commercially re-sell any Product purchased by you on the Platform.

The Platform may require the automatic download and installation of software onto your computer. ESPRIT hereby grants, and you accept, a limited, terminable, non-exclusive license and right to use the software for your personal and non-commercial use (except where commercial use is expressly allowed herein or in the applicable Terms) in accordance with these Terms. The software is licensed and not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the software.

Notwithstanding these restrictions, you may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, publish, distribute, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, create derivative works based on, or remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Platform or ESPRIT software without the prior written consent of ESPRIT. 


You are entitled to use the Platform for your own personal use, but you are not entitled to: (i) sell, grant a security interest to other parties in any way, nor to rent, lease or license your Account rights to others without the prior written consent of ESPRIT, except to the extent expressly permitted elsewhere in these Terms; or (ii) exploit ESPRIT software or the Platform for any commercial purpose, except as expressly permitted elsewhere in these Terms. 

Non-conforming or Faulty Product

If the Product delivered to you does not conform with your Product Order or is faulty, you must first notify our customer support team via the Contact Us page here and as indicated on www.esprit.us that you are willing to return it within thirty (30) days from the date you receive the Product with the subject-line: FAULTY PRODUCT. You must also provide additional information to explain what is wrong with the Product. 


Potential cure. ESPRIT has the right but not the obligation to cure Products delivered to you that are defective or non-conforming. If ESPRIT delivers Products that do not match the Product Order, and you reject such Products, ESPRIT is allowed to notify you of its intent to fix the problem and offer a solution. 


Return. In order to return the non-conforming or faulty Product, you must follow the returns procedure provided by the customer support team. 


The original invoice of the Product must be included with the returned Product. The Product must be returned in a new and unused condition, with all protective or other materials in place and tags and stickers attached to them (if applicable), as well as with the original box / container, including all accessories and documents. All returns could be subject to strict quality control to ensure that the returned Product satisfies these requirements. If the Product does not meet such standards, the return may be refused, and the Product will be returned to you (at your own cost) or you will be liable for the Product devaluation. 


In the case the non-conforming or fault is confirmed, you may ask for an exchange or a refund through our customer support team. Product exchange will only be possible if there is available stock for the relevant Product. If the Product is no longer available, a refund will be granted. The delivery cost of returning a non-conforming or faulty Product paid by you will be reimbursed only if the Product has been verified to be non-conforming or faulty by ESPRIT. In the case of an exchange, the cost of redelivery will be chargeable to ESPRIT. 

Right to Return & Process for Returns

You have thirty (30) days, counted from the date when we dispatch the Product, or the maximum amount of time permitted by applicable law, within which to return the Product, with no obligation of justification or payment of penalties. Unless in accordance with your statutory rights, any initial delivery costs paid by you in connection with the Product Order and any delivery costs and clearance costs incurred by you when returning the Product may not be eligible for reimbursement or refund other than in the event of a non-conforming or faulty Product.


The original invoice of the Product must be included with the returned Product. Only Products in new and unused condition with all protective or other materials in place and tags and stickers attached to them (if applicable), as well as with the original box / container, including all accessories and documents shall be accepted. All returns could be subject to strict quality control to ensure that the returned Product satisfies these requirements. If the Product does not meet such standards, the return could be refused, and the Product will be returned to you (at your own cost) or you will be liable for the Product devaluation. In order to return the Product you received, you must follow the returns procedure set out in the section headed “Return procedure” below. 


If the Product is returned after thirty (30) days (or the lawful amount of time) or if the returns procedure is not followed precisely, your returned package may be refused and returned to you at your cost. Title and risk to the returned Product will not be taken back or assumed until the returned Products physically arrives back to the designated returns facility and accepted by ESPRIT, and therefore you are advised to use a courier service offering a tracking number, and to take out adequate insurance to cover the potential loss of the Product in transit. 


At ESPRIT’s discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring a return. In this situation, ESPRIT does not take title to the refunded item. In this case, ESPRIT will only reimburse you for the actual paid price of the returned Product.

YOU AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR INJURIES THAT ARISE OUT OF ESPRIT'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, CAUSED TO YOU ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION PREVENTING ANY EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SITE, SERVICE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT OR OTHER CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE ESPRIT PARTIES, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, ADVERTISING, EXHIBITION OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE ESPRIT PARTIES. BY ACCESSING THE PLATFORM AND ESPRIT’S SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY BE WAIVING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT ARE AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED. 


ESPRIT reserves the right, at any time, in ESPRIT’s sole and exclusive discretion, to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Platform or ESPRIT’s services, or any part thereof, including without limitation for repair, maintenance, improvement or other technical reason, and/or your use of or access to them, with or without notice. ESPRIT shall have no liability to you or any other person or entity for any modification, suspension, or termination, or any loss of related information. 

Indemnification

You (and any third party on whose behalf you use the Platform) agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the ESPRIT Parties from all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs, and/or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that arise from or in connection with the following (whether resulting from your activities on the Platform or those conducted on your behalf): (a) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (b) your access to or use of the Platform, by you or any person(s) using your Account, or from the Product selection to the creation of an Account, the purchase, distribution, promotion and use of any add-ons or derivative Products; or (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property, or privacy right.


You agree that the ESPRIT Parties will not be responsible for (i) losses that were not caused by any breach on ESPRIT’s part, or (ii) any indirect or consequential losses that were not foreseeable to both you and ESPRIT when the contract for the sale of Product(s) by ESPRIT to you was formed. 


ESPRIT holds the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, which shall not excuse your obligation to indemnify the ESPRIT Parties. You shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of ESPRIT.

Without limiting the foregoing, if you provide ESPRIT with any feedback or suggestions about the Platform, or any Products or services, other than the requirements under the applicable laws (including the data protection requirement), ESPRIT is free to use the feedback or suggestions however it chooses, without any obligation to you.

Applicable Law - Competent Jurisdiction

You agree that these Terms shall be deemed to have been made and executed in the State of New York, and any dispute arising hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the law of New York. Subject to Dispute Resolution by Arbitration below, you agree that any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against ESPRIT shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in New York, having subject matter jurisdiction with respect to the dispute between the parties and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. In any dispute arising under these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys’ fees and expenses.


Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our responsibility for fraudulent representations made by us or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct.

No Waiver; Assignment Rights

These Terms shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If any of these Terms is deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition will be deemed severable, or, to the extent necessary, deemed modified in order to comply with applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions, such provisions will not apply to you.


Except as otherwise expressly stipulated in these Terms, in the event that any provision of these Terms shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.


If you breach these Terms and we take no action, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach these Terms. ESPRIT’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you. You may not assign to anyone else and any attempt by you to assign shall be void. If you do not comply with these Terms, and we do not act right away, this does not mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).


DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY ARBITRATION 


Most customer concerns can be resolved by communicating with our customer service team. If we are unable to resolve your concerns within forty-five (45) days, and a dispute remains between you and us, this section explains how we agree to resolve it.


However, this section does not apply to the following types of claims or disputes, which you or ESPRIT may bring in any court with jurisdiction: (i) claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including such claims seeking injunctive relief; (ii) claims related to or arising from any alleged unauthorized use, piracy or theft; and (iii) claims using applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases.


Arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND ESPRIT ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.


You and ESPRIT agree to make reasonable efforts, in good faith, to informally resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other a written notice that describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the relief sought. If you and ESPRIT do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, you or ESPRIT may commence arbitration. Written notice to ESPRIT must be sent to [160 Varick Street, 4th Floor, New York City, NY 10013] via registered post.


You agree that the United States Federal Arbitration Act applies to and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, including all questions of arbitrability, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by a sole arbitrator in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by these Terms, both of which are available at http://www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms, which govern in the event of any conflict with the applicable arbitration rules. This arbitration section will survive any termination of these Terms.


The AAA will administer the arbitration through a sole arbitrator agreed upon by the parties. It may be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, by electronic means, or in person. The place, or legal seat of arbitration, shall be New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.


YOU AND ESPRIT AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION, EVEN IF AAA’s PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW ONE. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. You and ESPRIT also agree not to seek to combine any action or arbitration with any other action or arbitration without the consent of all parties to these Terms and all other actions or arbitrations. Each party shall be exclusively responsible for paying its own arbitration filing fees, which may later be allocated by the arbitrator as set forth below. 


The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award and, subject to the limitation of liability set forth above, shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award.


Each party hereto retains the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party, if any as determined by the arbitrator, its reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the parties, their counsel or the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by any party unless required by law. Any documentary or other evidence given by any party or witness in any arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively because of its participation in the arbitration and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law. Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed to the extent permitted by law.


YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ESPRIT MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, YOUR CLAIM WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED. 

General Infringement Claims

If you believe that your rights are being infringed, please contact us. We respond expeditiously to rights owners to communicate concerns about any alleged infringement.


Upon receipt of your infringement notice we may take certain actions, including removing information or any item, all of which are taken without any admission as to liability and without prejudice to any rights, remedies or defenses, for all of which we hold an unmitigated discretion to execute. Furthermore, by submitting an infringement notice, you grant ESPRIT and its affiliates, sublicensees and transferees the right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and display its content throughout the world in any media. This includes forwarding your infringement notice to the parties involved in the provision of the allegedly infringing content. You agree to indemnify ESPRIT and their respective affiliates, sublicensees and transferees for all claims brought by a third party against ESPRIT or any of its affiliates, sublicensees or transferees arising out of or in connection with the submission of your infringement notice. 

Consent to Communications

By providing us with your contact information and using the Platform, you agree to receive communications via e-mail and/or social media from or on behalf of ESPRIT at the email address or telephone number (including mobile number) you provided. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

Force Majeure

ESPRIT will not be deemed to be in breach of these Terms or liable for any breach of these Terms due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire, pandemics/epidemics, or other disaster.
