- Certain of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us from time to time; your use of such Services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference.
- These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Services, including, without limitation, users who are contributors of content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.
Eligibility
We only permit individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts with us to use our Services. If you are under 18 years old and would like to use our Services, you can, but only if a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old supervises you. In all cases, the adult would be the user and is responsible for any and all activity.
You can only use or receive our Services to the extent the laws of your jurisdiction or the United States do not bar you from doing so. Please make sure these Terms are in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to you.
By using Espy, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements we outline in these Terms. We may still refuse to let certain people access or use the Services. We may also change our eligibility criteria.
We offer our Services only for personal, noncommercial use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party (unless you are a parent or legal guardian using the Services for your minor child).
Account Information
If you sign up for Espy account, you will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and will be fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. When creating an account, you may be required to provide your name, email address and/or other contact information. You will provide us with accurate and up-to-date information. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this paragraph.
Getting Your Espy Box
- What products come inside the Espy Box. The contents of your Espy Box is determined by the answers provided by you in the Quiz (espybox.com/quiz). Based on your answers, Espy creates a unique profile and matches that with products we think you’ll love.
- Delivery Information. We’ll need your name, address, and telephone number to send you your Espy Products. All orders are shipped to the 50 United States for a fee of $0. For shipping to Hawaii and Alaska there is an additional $9.95 fee.
- Fees; Subscription Service. You may select a one-time Product purchase, or you may sign up for a subscription for recurring Product shipments. If you sign up for a subscription, then the Services will allow for recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate or update your Subscription Service through the Services, then you authorize us to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the recurring payments or your account, or until you request that the Subscription Service be paused through your account functionality, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Dates” are listed on our Frequently Asked Questions page (https://espybox.com/faq/) and are subject to change. You must cancel your subscription 10 days before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic subscription fee to your account. We will bill the subscription fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your account information).
- Payment. After you have made your Product selections and provided your shipping information, our payment partner, Stripe, will process the transaction. By entering your payment information, you authorize Stripe to charge the amount of your order to your selected payment option. As noted below, we have no control over third-party Stripe and by purchasing Products through Espy, you agree to abide by Stripe terms of use and privacy policy. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Subscription Service for any accounts for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Subscription Service, such accounts will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargebacks or collection of any such unpaid amounts including collection fees.
- Changing. Our team works hard to process orders quickly so that you don’t have to wait. However, this also means that although we try our best to accommodate order modifications, we cannot guarantee them. If you would like to change an order, email us at hello@espybox.com with the subject line “Change Order.” If we are unable to make the requested change, usually because we have already shipped the order, you will be responsible for costs related to exchanging the item.
- Risk of Loss. The risk of loss and title for all Products you order passes to you upon delivery to the carrier (such as FedEx, UPS, or USPS).
- Returns and Exchanges. You have 30 days to return or exchange your Espy Box in its entirety from the day you receive them. The return policy is valid for one time purchases and the first box of a subscription only. Please visit the FAQ for additional information on returns and exchanges.
Espy SMS Program

- You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text “STOP” to the short code. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us.
- If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at hello@espybox.com.

Arbitration & Waiver of Class Action
Please read this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with us and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Informal Resolution. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by writing to our customer service department at hello@espybox. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, the terms of this Section govern dispute resolution between us.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by us that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and us, and to any of our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third party vendors, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration must be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider will govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms (“Arbitration Rules”). The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Any hearing will be held in a location within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States (in which case hearing will be held in the capital of your country), and unless the parties agree otherwise. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and us in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, WE EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes will be resolved in a court located in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
- Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to us.
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or us may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Atlanta, Georgia for such purpose.
Force Majeure
We shall not be held liable for any delays, failure in performance or interruption of service which result directly or indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorism, civil disturbance, war, strike or other labor dispute, fire, interruption in telecommunications or Internet services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe or any other occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Assignment
You agree that we may assign any of our rights, and/or transfer, sub-contract or delegate any of our obligations, under these Terms. Your agreement to these Terms is personal to you and you may not transfer or assign it to any third party.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement as to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any kind (including without limitation any prior versions of this Agreement), and every nature between us. Except as provided for above, any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and must be signed by both parties.
