COLD-BREW

KOLLO TEAS ARE 24-HOUR COLD-BREWED TO PROVIDE A MORE DELICATE AND SMOOTH EXTRACTION WHEN COMPARED TO HOT BREWING. THE COLD-BREW PROCESS EXTRACTS LESS TANNINS AND CAFFEINE (ABOUT 1/2), WHILE MAINTAINING AS MANY OF THE BENEFICIAL ANTIOXIDANTS AS POSSIBLE. THIS BREW PROCESS RESULTS IN A LIGHTER, LESS ASTRINGENT, LESS BITTER AND LESS ACIDIC FLAVOR PROFILE THAN TRADITIONALLY FOUND IN MANY HOT-BREWED ALTERNATIVES.

 

SPECIALTY VS. COMMODITY TEA

KOLLO PARTNERS WITH PREMIUM “SPECIALTY” TEA FARMERS, WHO PRIORITIZE QUALITY (HARVESTING METHODS, TASTE, SUSTAINABILITY) OVER QUANTITY. SPECIALTY TEA PRODUCERS TAKE HONOR IN THE TRADITION OF TEA GROWING BY MINIMIZING USE OF CHEMICALS OR MACHINERY WHEN POSSIBLE. IN CONTRAST, MUCH OF THE TEA CONSUMED COMMERCIALLY IN TEA BAGS IS CONSIDERED “COMMODITY TEA” AND IS MEANT FOR MASS MARKET AS OPPOSED TO THE SPECIALTY MARKET CONSUMER.

 

SINGLE-ORIGIN & WHOLE-LEAF

KOLLO TEA LEAVES ARE EACH SOURCED WITHIN THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN DURING ONE SEASON, ONE FARM, AND ONE CROP OF TEA. KOLLO TEAS UTILIZE FRESH, WHOLE LEAVES, RATHER THAN LOWER GRADE CRUSHED OR POWDERED TEA FOR THE MOST AUTHENTIC TASTING EXPERIENCE.

INGREDIENTS & NUTRITION

KOLLO TEAS HAVE JUST TWO INGREDIENTS: PREMIUM TEA LEAVES AND FILTERED WATER. ALL KOLLO TEAS ARE ZERO CALORIE, FREE OF ALL SWEETENERS, FLAVORINGS, ADDITIVES AND PRESERVATIVES.

 

SEDIMENT

KOLLO TEAS ARE COLD-BREWED FROM WHOLE TEA LEAVES, NEVER CONCENTRATE OR POWDER. AS A RESULT, NATURAL TEA LEAVE SEDIMENT MAY BE PRESENT AND SHOULD DISSIPATE UPON SHAKING.

KOLLO SUSTAINABILITY

TEA LEAF SOURCING: WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST TEAS IN THE WORLD COME FROM GROWERS WHO HAVE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN SETTING THEIR COLLECTIONS, PRICES AND LABOR PRACTICES. KOLLO TAKES EFFORTS TO PARTNER WITH GROWERS WHO PASS ON THEIR LAND TO FUTURE GENERATIONS, AND THUS ARE NOT INCENTIVIZED TO UTILIZE PESTICIDES TO INCREASE CROP YIELD FOR SHORT-TERM GAIN, BUT INSTEAD CONSIDER THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE LAND THEY CULTIVATE AND BIODIVERSITY OF THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT.

Section 21 – Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING  ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH KOLLO AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.  ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

BINDING ARBITRATION:

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services or products sold on the Services, or to your relationship with KOLLO (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and KOLLO agree (a) to waive your and KOLLO’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Services, content or products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and KOLLO’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and KOLLO agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions: You and KOLLO agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services or products sold on the Services is personal to you and KOLLO and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of consolidated or representative proceeding.  KOLLO and you further agree to not participate in any class, consolidated or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party.  These limitations and waiver of class, consolidated, or representative proceedings shall apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of KOLLO, and shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.

If it is determined that the limitations and waiver of class, consolidated, or representative proceedings set forth in this section title are void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the Disputes will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in Los Angeles, California.

If any other clause in the limitations and waiver of class, consolidated, or representative proceedings set forth in this section title are found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.

 

Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and KOLLO agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within six (6) months of (i) the date it arises or (ii) the date they knew or should have known, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to KOLLO shall be sent by certified mail, courier or email to KOLLO, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 242 N Avenue 25, #247, Los Angeles, CA 90031.Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your KOLLO account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically. If you and KOLLO cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or KOLLO may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for above, file a claim in court.

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, YOU AND KOLLO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRABLE DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR KOLLO WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND KOLLO WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE).

You and KOLLO agree that any arbitration will be conducted confidentially in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration will be conducted via telephonic/video hearing in a manner consistent with the JAMS rules.  Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Los Angeles County, California, or the Central District of California to enter judgment upon any award.

As limited by the  Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other KOLLO users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the Terms by writing to: KOLLO, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 242 N Avenue 25, #247, Los Angeles, CA 90031. The opt out notice must include your full name and email address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

Subject to the section title “No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions,” above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement in this Section are found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 22 – Choice of Law and Venue

These Terms and your relationship with KOLLO are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any Disputes arising from or relating to these Terms, the Services or products sold on the Services, or to your relationship with KOLLO shall be finally settled in arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, in English to the extent required by Section 26. The arbitration will be conducted via telephonic/video hearing in a manner consistent with the JAMS rules. The parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Los Angeles County, California, or the Central District of California to resolve any Disputes not subject to arbitration as set forth in Section 26—i.e., those either party seeks to bring as an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property.  You and KOLLO agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of Sections 20 and 21 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the FAA, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Section 23 – Miscellaneous

The failure of either you or KOLLO to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
