3. Receiving Merchandise and Passage of Title
Laws regarding the sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages are complex and constantly changing. The politics, policies and procedures regarding such sales and transportation are different in every state. That is why you are buying from us in Nigeria and why title to the alcoholic beverages is passing to you upon purchase in either Nigeria. In the event that Maranz Distillery may ship wine or other alcoholic beverages to your state in accordance with a state privilege requiring the payment of state taxes, you will be charged the state taxes (including the sales tax), if any, assessed by your state for that transaction; otherwise either Nigeria sales tax will be assessed on the sale. Title to all product intended for shipment to federal property and Indian reservations passes to the customer when the goods are picked up by the common carrier, and Nigeria sales tax will be collected on all such purchases. When your order is approved by your credit card company, you own the goods. If you choose shipping as a delivery method, you are asking us to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you. We make no representations about the legality of shipping alcoholic beverages. Our site lists those states where common carriers will deliver alcohol. You are responsible for compliance with all laws regarding such shipments.
By arranging for transportation of the alcoholic beverages, Maranz Distillery is providing a service to, and acting on behalf of you. By utilizing this service from Maranz Distillery you are representing that you are acting in compliance with your local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation and delivery of alcoholic beverages. You further represent that you have obtained any required permission, paid any required fees, are working through properly licensed intermediaries where required, are legally entitled to take possession of the alcoholic beverages, are legally entitled to take quantities ordered and that you and the person accepting delivery of the alcoholic beverage products are at least 21 years of age. If, between the date of order and date of arrival, the laws of your state change so as to make it illegal for you to import your shipment, you may return the order for a full refund.
All returns must be made in accordance with Nigeria law and returns across state lines are normally not permitted. In the event of a return across a state line please contact customer service to make a claim for a refund.

10. Arbitration Agreement
This section limits certain rights that you and we might have, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in JAMS rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. Other rights that you or Company would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.
A. You and Maranz Distillery agree that they will resolve any disputes through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and Maranz Distillery relating to the Service or this Agreement (each a "Claim") shall be submitted for binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 10. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS, Inc. (formerly Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall select an alternative ADR Provider. The parties may also mutually agree on an alternative ADR provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall 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 JAMS rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
B. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Maranz Distillery will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. However, Maranz Distillery will not pay your share of the arbitration fees if the arbitrator finds that either your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, as measured by the standards of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
C. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Maranz Distillery also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Maranz Distillery retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with this Agreement, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this Agreement.
D. Neither you nor Maranz Distillery may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate and as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and Maranz Distillery individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
E. If any provision of this Section 10 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, except for subparagraph (d), then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section 10 shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 10 will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Agreement. If subparagraph (d) is found to be invalid or unenforceable then neither you nor Maranz Distillery shall be entitled to arbitration.
F. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your relationship with Maranz Distillery.
G. If you do not want to be bound to this Arbitration Agreement, you must opt out of it within 30 days of it first becoming applicable to you (i.e., within 30 days of you first agreeing to a version of these Terms of Use containing the Arbitration Agreement). To opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must send a letter or postcard to Maranz Distillery headquarters, to the attention of the “Legal Department” and state that you do not want to be bound by this Arbitration Provision. Maranz Distillery 10, Wole Ariyo, Phase 1, Lekki, Lagos State - Nigeria.
H. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court (including but not limited to in the event you opt out of arbitration pursuant to subparagraph (g)), the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the Northern District of Nigeria, for such purpose.
11. Waiver
No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived or amended only in writing and only by the party that is entitled to the benefits of the term(s) or condition(s) being waived or amended. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.
12. Unenforceability
If any provision of this Agreement or any word, phrase, clause, sentence, or other portion thereof should be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, then provided that the essential consideration for entering into this Agreement on the part of any party is not unreasonably impaired, such provision or portion thereof shall be modified or deleted in such manner as to render this Agreement as modified legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted under applicable laws.
13. Authority
The party entering into this Agreement hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that he or she is expressly and duly authorized to enter into this Agreement and to legally bind said party to this Agreement.
