Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 23, 2023

These terms of service ("Terms") govern your use of the COROS Wearables, Inc. (collectively, "COROS", or "we", "us", or "our") devices, websites, and mobile properties, including www.coros.com, our app(s), and all other interactive features and communications we provide in connection with the websites or apps, however accessed or used, that we operate, make available, produce, or maintain (collectively, the "Service"). Use of this Service constitutes acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you may not use the Service.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN SECTION 23 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION). UNLESS YOU OPT OUT, THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION, ELIMINATES YOUR ABILITY TO PURSUE DISPUTES AS PART OF A CLASS OR GROUP, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL IN COURT AND BY A JURY.

COROS may change these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time and our sole discretion. If COROS changes these Terms, we will notify you of the changes. Our notice to you may include sending a message to the email address or text message number you provided to us or notice through the Service. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms when we make changes.

16.4. Products

Content, and Specifications. Details of the products and services available for purchase are set out on the Service. All features, content, specifications, products, and prices of products and services described or depicted on this Service are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. Packaging may vary from that shown. We make all reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our products, including the applicable colors (however, the actual color you see will depend on how accurately your computer displays such colors) and prices. The inclusion of any products or services on the Service at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain product or service may be delayed for a number of reasons. In such an event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.


16.5. Shipping Limitations

Our third-party carrier will ship products of your order to an address you designate as long as that address complies with the shipping restrictions contained in this Service, and shipping charges may apply. Risk of loss and title for items purchased from this Service pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. A signature may be required for deliveries. COROS does not guarantee any particular delivery date and is not responsible for any delays.


16.6. Return and Exchange Policy

You may return or exchange a product or service purchased from this Service if the product or service is defective or for any reason within 30 days of the delivery date. Certain jurisdictions may provide additional statutory rights. Nothing herein is meant to limit your return or cancellation rights under local law. If the return or exchange is due to an incorrect order or faulty product, COROS will be responsible for the shipping costs associated with such a return. In all other cases, you will be responsible for the return. COROS will only accept returned or exchanged products or services that comply with the following:

  • Items must be in new condition.

We attempt to ensure that information on the Service is complete, accurate, and current. Despite our efforts, the information on the Service may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any information on the Service. For example, products included in the Service may be unavailable, have different attributes than those listed, or carry a different price than that stated on the Service. In addition, we may change information about price and availability without notice. While it is our practice to confirm orders by email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to limit the order quantity on any product or service or to refuse service to any customer. We also may require verification of information before the acceptance and/or shipment of any order.


16.8. Pricing; Taxes

Prices stated for products and services exclude all applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Transaction totals with a tax line item may reflect an estimated tax amount. The actual tax amount is calculated based on your shipping location for a single purchase or your location when you registered for a recurring service and may vary from the estimated tax. You are solely responsible for paying all taxes.


16.9. Payments

For all charges or deposits for any events, products, and services ordered by you on or through the Service, COROS or its vendors or agents will charge your card or alternative payment method offered by COROS, and you agree to pay all such charges or deposits. You understand that we may hold and store your payment information to facilitate payment, deposit, and damage reimbursement. When you provide card information, account numbers, or other information necessary to facilitate payment to us or our vendors, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card or payment account. We may suspend or cancel the Service if we do not receive an on-time, full payment from you. Suspension or cancellation of the Service for non-payment could result in losing access to and use of your account and its content. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse COROS and its vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses. You are responsible for the purchase of, and payment of charges for, all Internet access services and telecommunications services needed for the use of the service.


16.10. Special Offers and Promotions

On occasion, COROS may issue promotion codes for redemption at checkout. These codes are non-transferable and may only be used by the intended recipient; these codes have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash. We may reduce the redemption value if the promotional code's total value exceeds the item's price. You may not combine multiple promotional codes in one transaction. COROS is not responsible for any financial loss arising from our refusal, cancelation, or withdrawal of a promotion or any failure or inability of a customer to use a promotional code for any reason. Discounts and sales prices may not be applied to previous orders. We may shorten the duration of any special order or sales promotion.


17. Suspension and Termination

You or we may suspend or terminate your account or use of this Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without prior notice. You are personally liable for any orders placed or charges incurred through your account before termination. We may also block your access to the Service if (a) you breach these Terms; (b) we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us; or (c) we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users, or us. If your account is terminated, we may delete data or your Submissions or otherwise disassociate it from you and your account (unless we are required by law to keep it, return it, or transfer it to you or a third party identified by you). As a result, you may no longer be able to access any of the Service or your data or Submissions.

23. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS YOU AND COROS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. This section is deemed a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and COROS agree that we intend this section to satisfy the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient, and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that we may have. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms, if you have any past, present, or future dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the Service, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with COROS or (iii) any data or information you may provide to COROS or that COROS may gather in connection with such use, interaction, or transaction (collectively, "COROS Transactions or Relationships"), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court or have a jury decide the claim, and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or arbitration. By using or interacting with the Service or engaging in any other COROS Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.


We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements you may have with us. Before filing a claim against COROS, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@coros.com. If those efforts fail, by using the Service, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against COROS and any claim that COROS may have against you arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or any COROS Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration ("Arbitration") administered by JAMS or its successor ("JAMS") and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the "Applicable Rules"). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the "AAA") instead and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the "Applicable Rules" in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect, which would apply to the matter in dispute, COROS agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (h) below.

You further agree that:

(a) Arbitrator Will Interpret These Terms. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and the arbitration provisions in this section, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable;

(b) Location of Arbitration. The arbitration will be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and COROS; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission;

(c) Governing law. The Arbitrator (i) will apply internal laws of the State of California consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent that federal law prevails, will apply the law of the US, irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) will entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with California or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) will honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) will have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;

(d) No Class Relief. The arbitration can resolve only your and COROS's claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;

(e) Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator's complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an "Award"). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;

(f) Arbitration Costs. If you can demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, COROS will 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, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;

(g) Reasonable Attorney's Fees. If, through the process set forth in this section, you recover an Award greater than COROS's last written settlement offer, we will reimburse your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees associated with the arbitration, and we will bear our own attorneys' fees;

(h) Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of the subsection entitled No Class Relief above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, illegal or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect, and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, "No Class Relief" is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor COROS shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction;

(i) Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against COROS in your local small claims court within the US if your claim is within such court's jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding;

(j) Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor COROS can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision and must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your COROS account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Any requests to opt out must be sent to: info@coros.com; and

(k) Intellectual Property Disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, COROS or you may submit any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy relating to our or your intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and other patents) to any court of competent jurisdiction.


24. General

25. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT ("DMCA") NOTICE

In operating the Service, we may act as a "services provider" (as defined by DMCA) and offer services as an online provider of materials and links to third-party websites. As a result, third-party materials we do not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed, or otherwise made available using the Service. COROS has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement occurring on the Service. COROS has adopted a policy that provides for the immediate removal of any content or the suspension of any user that is found to have infringed on the rights of COROS or of a third-party, or that has otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations, or any of the terms and conditions of these Terms. If you believe any material available via the Service infringes a copyright, you should notify us using the notice procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA (17 USC Sect. 512(c)(2)). We will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the material. Our designated agent (i.e., the proper party for notice) to whom you should address infringement notices under the DMCA is copyright@coros.com.

Please provide the following notice:

  • Identify the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  • Identify the material on the Service that you claim is infringing, with enough detail so that we may locate it on the Service;
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • A statement by you declaring under penalty of perjury that (a) the above information in your notice is accurate, and (b) that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or that you are authorized to act on behalf of that owner;
  • Your address, telephone number, and email address; and
  • Your physical or electronic signature.


We may notify our users of any infringement notice by means of a general notice on the Service, electronic mail to a user's email address in our records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a user's physical address in our records. If you receive such an infringement notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the designated agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  • A statement from you under the penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  • Your name, physical address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.
