By this Agreement, both you and we are waiving certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If for any reason
this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or invalid, you and we both waive, to the fullest extent allowed
by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class or
consolidated basis or in a representative capacity.
Governing Law – Washington
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington
notwithstanding any conflict of law rules.
Disclaimers and Limits of Liability
Starbucks and its affiliates make no representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, express or
implied, with respect to the Starbucks Card, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement, or any warranty arising by
usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance. Starbucks does not represent or warrant
that your Starbucks Cards will always be accessible or accepted.
In the event that Starbucks or its affiliates are found liable to you, you shall only be entitled to recover
actual and direct damages and such damages shall not exceed the last balance held on your Starbucks
Card. Starbucks and its affiliates shall have no liability for any incidental, indirect or consequential
damages (including without limitation loss of profit, revenue or use) arising out of or in any way
connected with this Agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether
active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, even if we or our authorized
representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Starbucks or its
affiliates have any liability for unauthorized access to, or alteration, theft or destruction of a Starbucks
Card through accident, misuse or fraudulent means or devices by you or any third party, or as a result of
any delay or mistake resulting from any circumstances beyond our control.
The laws of certain states or other jurisdiction do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or the
exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply, some or all of the above disclaimers,
exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have rights in addition to those contained in this
agreement. In such jurisdiction, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Assignment
We may assign all or part of this agreement without such assignment being considered a change to the
agreement, and without notice to you. We are then released from all liability. The assignee shall have the
same rights and obligations as the assignor and shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this agreement.
Entire Agreement, Construction
This agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between you and Starbucks
Corporation, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements. In the event that any
provision of this agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be
eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect and enforceable. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect
interpretation of this agreement.
