Zillion Services
Zillion is an insurance agency licensed in all of the states within the Continental United States and the District of Columbia. As an authorized representative of leading, highly-rated property and casualty insurance companies (our “Insurance Partners”), Zillion offers users the ability to purchase insurance policies (our “Services”) covering jewelry, including but not limited to jewelry purchased from our jewelry retail partners (our “Retail Partners”). We offer these Services in the following ways: (1) by providing an insurance quote on our Retail Partners’ online web-stores during cart checkout, (2) by providing an insurance quote through our Retail Partners’ use of the Zillion CustomerCenter, and (3) by providing an insurance quote directly to Users through our Site. By selecting the Services, you are engaging directly with Zillion, and not with our Retail Partners, for the purchase of insurance. Zillion also offers Retail Partner Users the ability to use the Zillion CustomerCenter to create and track Statements of Value for their respective customers as part of these Services.

Insurance Coverage

All charges shall be inclusive of applicable taxes, if any, as required by law.
Payment of the initial annual insurance premium, which includes a commission we receive from our Insurance Partners, is due immediately and payment will be facilitated either (i) by the Retail Partner’s web-store during the checkout process or (ii) by Zillion, or a third party payments processor engaged by Zillion, for insurance policies you have entered into through Zillion’s Site covering items, including but not limited to items you have previously purchased from a Retail Partner. Any and all subsequent annual insurance policy premiums payable by you for such policies will be facilitated by Zillion, or a third party payments processor engaged by Zillion. In either case, Zillion will send you a receipt for the premium paid via email.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE. YOUR ABILITY TO USE OUR SOFTWARE AND SERVICES IS CONTINGENT ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements.

Disputes involving insurance policies issued in connection with the Services are covered by the terms of the insurance policy relating to legal disputes, claims or controversies (collectively, “Suits”). In the event of any conflict between this section and the terms of an insurance policy regarding Suits, the latter shall prevail with respect to such insurance policy.
Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Site or Services, or your purchase of insurance through Zillion shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in California, U.S.A, except that to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court having jurisdiction. You hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of California.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms of Use shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms of Use, whether through class action proceedings or otherwise. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Site or Services or these Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned. No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and expenses. No instance of waiver by us of our rights or remedies under these Terms of Use shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future or other waiver.
Force Majeure
You agree that Zillion is not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, Zillion shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
Non-Waiver
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
Termination of Service
We may terminate or suspend your use of the Site and/or Services without notice, provided, however, in-force property and casualty insurance policies may not be terminated without proper notice and in compliance with applicable state insurance laws. Please be aware that if we terminate the Services, you may be entitled to a refund if applicable.
