At this time, the Program is not available in any markets outside the United States.
The Program is not valid for any purchases made at any Hestan Culinary retail partners, whether in person, online, or by telephone, or on any licensed marketplace, including but not limited to Meta, or Amazon.

7.5 HESTAN CULINARY CREDIT REDEMPTION
7.5.1. Hestan Culinary Cash is calculated based on a percentage (determined by Membership level) of a Qualifying Purchase (2% back for Hestan Rewards, and 5% back for Hestan Chef’s Table members, respectively). Member’s Hestan Culinary Cash balance can be located within the loyalty membership login portal. Earned Hestan Culinary Cash can be redeemed when desired on future orders. Once opting to redeem, a unique loyalty coupon code is activated, generated by Shopify and assigned to the member’s account. The member’s Hestan Culinary Cash balance will determine the value of the unique coupon (e.g. REDEEM-FNOFNTKXWQO), and is applied automatically at the Shopify checkout to deduct the balance of the order, before tax and shipping is calculated.
7.5.2. Upon checkout of a Qualifying Purchase, Hestan Culinary Cash will be issued to the Member's account no later than one day after the order is placed, except in circumstances of technical or system failure in which case such credits will be issued as soon as practicable. For avoidance of doubt, as outlined in Section 9 below, Hestan and/or Meyer is not responsible for any errors or technical issues that may impact the ability to earn or redeem Hestan Culinary Cash or other damages resulting from program changes, termination, or technical malfunction.
7.5.3. If the member completes a Qualifying Purchase, they will earn Hestan Culinary Cash. If the member redeems issued credits on a future and the order is later cancelled for any reason, the member will receive a refund, and the credits will be automatically deducted from their account. If the member makes a purchase (“Purchase A”) and receives Purchase A's credits, then makes future purchase (“Purchase B”) using the credits earned in Purchase A only to later refund Purchase A. Hestan Culinary Cash would still be deducted from the member's account. There may be instances where a customer’s Hestan Culinary Cash balance may become negative. Negative balance can exist and Culinary Cash cannot be redeemable until balance is positive.
7.5.4. You can review your Hestan Culinary Cash balance by logging into your Hestan Account. For free Hestan Rewards Tier members, Hestan Culinary Cash balance will automatically expire after 180 days from issuance.

Meyer will partially or fully restore Hestan Culinary Cash to Member’s account if there are product returns from a transaction in which Hestan Culinary Cash was redeemed.

8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
8.1 The following applies to all Disputes between you and Meyer arising out of, under, or related to these Terms of Service, the Hestan Rewards Program, and Meyer’s privacy practices (including any action Meyer may take or authorize with respect to information about or provided by you):
8.2 All Disputes will be settled exclusively through binding arbitration. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). You are GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms of Service EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
8.3 You and Meyer must abide by the following rules: (i) for any claim that could otherwise be brought in small claims court, the arbitration will be conducted solely based on written submissions and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, a telephonic hearing; (ii) if the claim exceeds what can be recovered in a small claims court, the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions or a telephonic hearing, unless the arbitrator deems a face-to-face hearing is appropriate, in which case one will be held in City, State; (iii) the arbitrator’s ruling is binding and not merely advisory; (iv) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR MEYER MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (v) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING; (vi) if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Meyer shall pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (vii) a decision by the arbitrator (including any finding of fact or conclusion of law) against either you or Meyer will be confidential unless otherwise required to be disclosed by law or by any administrative body and may not be collaterally used against either of you or Meyer in existing or subsequent litigation or arbitration involving any other person (including a User); and (viii) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.
8.4 Claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret are not subject to this arbitration provision. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state courts located in City, State or the federal courts located in City, State and each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of those courts.
8.5 As an exception to this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before such courts in order to maintain the status quo pending the arbitrator’s ruling, and hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
8.6 With the exception of subparts (iv) and (v) in subsection 8.2 of this arbitration provision (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subparts (iv) or (v) in subsection (c) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither you nor Meyer shall be entitled to arbitration. If this arbitration provision is held unenforceable by a court, or AAA refuses to arbitrate the Dispute, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and Meyer shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts specified in subsection 8.4 above.
8.7 For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you.

10. FORCE MAJEURE
