Rental Process and Payment.
(a) Your Rental. Your rental will include (i) 1 SNOO Smart Sleeper; (ii) 1 SNOO mattress and mattress cover; (iii) 1 fitted sheet; (iv) SNOO Sack and (v) 1 set of the following SNOO accessories: 4 SNOO legs, a power cord and adapter, and a power cable holder (collectively, the “Accessories”). SNOO Smart Sleeper and the Accessories shall be new or reconditioned. SNOO Sack, SNOO mattress, mattress cover and fitted sheet shall be new and unused.
(b) Sign Up. To sign up for the SNOO Rental Program you must be 18 years of age and reside in one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia. HBI is unable to ship outside those areas. You must enter the Rental Portal through the “RENT NOW” link on HBI’s website (located at www.happiestbaby.com/snoo-rental) and provide all requested information, including a valid credit or payment card that will remain on file and remain valid through the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement. By providing your credit or payment card information, you agree that HBI is authorized to immediately charge your card (i) a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”); (ii) a reconditioning fee (the “Reconditioning Fee”); and (iii) the first month’s rent (plus all applicable taxes) in the amounts specified in the Rental Portal. The Product cannot be shipped until such charges have been approved by your credit or payment card issuer.
(c) Rental Order Processing. We may refuse to fulfill any rental order prior to delivery. Your rental order may be refused due to, among other things, system or typographical errors, product availability, fairness among customers where supplies are limited or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if your order is rejected or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is rejected after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will initiate the refund of your payment within one business day of rejection in the same manner it was made.
(d) Rental Period. You will be renting the Product on a monthly basis. Your minimum rental period is one (1) month (the “Minimum Rental Period”). Your first rental period shall begin on the day on which the Product is delivered by HBI’s specified carrier to your address (the “Delivery Date”) and will end at the end of the previous calendar day of the following month. Subsequent rental periods shall commence on the same calendar day of the month as your initial rental period. For example, if the carrier delivers your rented SNOO Smart Sleeper on February 18 for delivery to you, your initial rental period will start on February 18 and end on March 17. The following rental period will start on March 18 and end on April 17. The following exception shall apply: initial rental periods which commence on the last day of any given month will always end on the day before the last day of the subsequent month. For example, if the Delivery Date is February 28, your initial rental period will end on March 30 and the second rental period will run from March 31 through and including April 29.
(e) Recurring Billing. The monthly rental fee (the “Rental Fee”) will be specified in the Rental Portal. The Rental Fee for the first rental period will be charged when you initiate your rental through the Rental Portal. The Rental Fee for each subsequent rental period will be automatically charged in advance. The charges will typically occur on the calendar day corresponding to commencement of your rental period (the “Charge Date”), although some charges may be delayed for business, technical or legal reasons. By providing your credit or payment card information, you agree that HBI is authorized to charge your card the Rental Fee plus any applicable taxes on the Charge Date on a monthly recurring basis until you cancel. Sales and/or other taxes will be calculated based on your shipping address. To see your Charge Dates, log in to the Rental Portal and view your account details.
If you want to use a credit or payment card different from the one you used to sign up, or if there is a change in your card validity or expiration date, you must update your credit or payment card information by logging in to the Rental Portal and updating your account details. If your credit or payment card expires and you do not update your payment information or terminate your rental as provided herein, you authorize us to continue billing you and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
Your payment obligations under these Terms and Conditions are not subject to any dispute, setoff, counterclaim or claim which you may believe you may have against HBI for any reason.
(f) Your Personal and Payment Information. You agree to provide and maintain accurate, current, and complete information to us including your name, contact and payment information. You agree not to impersonate or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, including using another person’s username, password or other account information, or another person’s name, image, photo or likeness, or provide false details for a parent or guardian. You agree that we may take steps to verify the accuracy of information you provide. We may suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole and absolute discretion, the accounts of users who violate this Agreement.
By providing any credit card or other payment card information to us, you represent that such payment information is correct, and belongs to you or you have the authority to use such credit or payment card. You further agree to provide an accurate e-mail address that is registered to you.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your log-in credentials and for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control.

You agree to promptly notify us, by emailing rentalsupport@happiestbaby.com, of any unauthorized use of your username, password or other account information, or of any other breach of security that you become aware of involving your account or our services.

The Security Deposit will be refunded to you upon return of the Product, less any charges resulting from your failure to comply with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. You shall remain liable for any amounts owed in excess of the Security Deposit, including amounts for damage to the Product (the “Damage Fee”) or the replacement cost (the “Replacement Cost”) as specified in Section 10.

-
Invalid Credit or Payment Card and Late Payments.

If you fail to provide a valid credit or payment card within two (2) days, the Security Deposit will be forfeited, and you shall be in default of the Terms and Conditions with the resulting effects stated in Section 11. Each payment not received by HBI within ten (10) business days after the due date shall bear interest thereon at the rate of two percent (2%) over the highest prime rate from time to time being charged by JP Morgan Chase Bank, computed from the original due date, until paid, provided, however, that if said rate be in excess of the maximum permitted by law in the jurisdiction where such debt accrues, then the rate of such interest shall be the maximum permitted by law. This late payment charge shall be in addition to HBI’s other remedies in the event of default. Acceptance of any payment by HBI after its due date shall not constitute a waiver by HBI of any of HBI’s rights hereunder.
-
Fraud Protection. We may screen received rental orders for fraud or other types of unauthorized or illegal activity. We reserve the right to refuse to process any rental order due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity.

-
Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement and Waiver.
(a) Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution process consists of: (1) an informal negotiation with HBI’s customer service team; and, if the dispute remains unresolved, (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this section). The Consumer Arbitration Rules provide, among other things:
- Claims can be filed with AAA online at www.adr.org;
- Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
- Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
- Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
- The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
- The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
- The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
(b) Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and HBI each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. HBI will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact HBI’s customer service team by emailing rentalsupport@happiestbaby.com. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
(c) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and HBI agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your relationship with HBI or your use of the Product or any HBI’s services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and HBI agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
(d) Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and HBI each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights and (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
(e) Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.
(f) Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, HBI agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in Los Angeles County; (c) in any other location to which you and HBI both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
(g) Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and HBI agree that HBI will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, HBI agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA Rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
(h) Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
(i) Jury Trial Waiver. You and HBI acknowledge and agree that by accepting the Terms and Conditions, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes.
(j) No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and HBI acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all disputes between us. Further, unless you and HBI both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this Subsection is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.
(k) Severability. Except as provided in Section 16(j), in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
(l) Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if HBI changes this Section 16 (“Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement and Waiver”) after the date you last accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to it), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date below. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and HBI in accordance with the provisions of this Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement and Waiver section as of the date you last accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to it).
(m) Survival. Except as provided in Section 16(k), this Section 16 will survive any termination of this Agreement and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Product or HBI’s Services.
