Terms & Conditions

Last Modified: August 14, 2024

These Terms and Conditions contain an arbitration provision, including a class action waiver and jury trial waiver, that describes how you and we must resolve any disputes that you or we may have. Please review the Arbitration section for details.

Terms of Sale

Prices and Payment Terms

We use “Sugg.” to refer to the manufacturers’ suggested retail price (MSRP) for a branded product (e.g., Le Creuset®, Zwilling®, Scanpan®). MSRP is a reference to a price at which the manufacturer recommends that the item be offered or sold by retailers, which may not include Sur La Table. Prices vary amongst sellers and change over time, so the MSRP may not represent an average price or an offering price at any particular time. “Sugg.” prices will be listed in regular crossed out typeface along with our pricing in bold black font. The black bold price refers to the everyday value price we offer to our customers.

$199.95 Sugg. ~~$300~~

In some instances, where we are the manufacturer of the product (e.g., Sur La Table Signature Bakeware), there is only one price listed, which is the everyday value price we offer to customers.

Prices posted on this Website may be different than prices offered by us in our retail stores, through mobile applications, or via advertising and marketing channels of any nature whatsoever, including direct and third-party advertising and marketing. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Website are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email.

We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

Sale Products

For sale products, the sale will be indicated by the words “Sale” and the new price will be reflected next to “Sale” in red. The amount of the discount from the MSRP will be indicated in red below “Our Price.” For example, “Limited Time Only 20% off and Free Shipping.” Clearance items contain Our Price that ends in $0.97, $0.98 or $0.X9. Items that end in $0.X9 are final sale and cannot be cancelled or returned.

Sale $7.49 Sugg. ~~$15.00~~

Shipments; Delivery

You shall pay for all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order. These may differ from the amounts we actually incur from any carrier. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

Returns and Refunds

Except for any products designated on the Website as final sale or non-returnable, we will accept a return of the products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within 30 days of delivery with valid proof of purchase and provided such products are returned in their original condition. If you would like to initiate a UPS return, please click the button below and fill in the required information.

Except in cases where the merchandise arrived damaged or defective, incorrect item was shipped, or you received duplicate shipments, the following shipping fees shall apply:

For each return shipment over $25.00, the shipping fee will be $12.95 (except for Alaska and Hawaii).
For each return shipment under $25.00, the shipping fee will be $6.95 (except for Alaska and Hawaii).
For each return shipment from Alaska and Hawaii, the shipping fee will be $26.95.

You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items unless otherwise specified. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.

Refunds are processed within approximately 10 business days of our receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site. WE OFFER NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THIS WEBSITE AS NON-RETURNABLE OR FINAL SALE.

For defective returns, please refer to the manufacturer's warranty included with the product or as detailed in the product's description on our Website.

Enrollment in the SMS Service requires you to provide your mobile phone number. Please only provide your own mobile phone number. You may not enroll if you are under 18 years old. Before the SMS Service will start, you will need to verify the mobile phone number you provided by responding to a text message to your mobile phone that affirms your choice to opt-in to the SMS Service and your agreement to these Terms and Conditions. Note that in affirming this message, you acknowledge that notices about your order will be sent to the number you provide and whoever has access to that mobile phone or the carrier account may be able to see this information.

Text messages may include cart abandon messages. Message frequency varies. This service is optional and is not a condition for purchase. You can opt out of receiving any further messages from us at any time (see details below). For help, reply HELP to any text message you receive from us or email textsupport@wunderkind.co.

Message and Data Rates May Apply

In addition to any fee of which you are notified, your mobile provider’s message and data rates may apply to our confirmation text message and all subsequent text message correspondence according to your individual rate plan provided by your wireless carrier (e.g., T-Mobile, AT&T, etc.). Please consult your service agreement with your wireless carrier or contact your wireless carrier to determine your phone’s pricing plan and the charges for sending and receiving text messages. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any message, data or other charges incurred (usage, subscription, etc.) as a result of using the SMS Service.

If we assume the defense of such a matter, you will reasonably cooperate with us in such defense.

Arbitration

Except as set forth below, you and we agree that we will resolve all disputes, whether asserted or unasserted, accrued or unaccrued, and present or future, between us (including any such disputes between you and a third-party agent of ours, and any disputes that arose prior to your acceptance of these Terms) through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and we hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below).

Before pursuing a Claim in arbitration, you and we must participate in an informal dispute resolution process in an attempt to resolve our dispute. Informal dispute resolution processes are favored by courts and arbitration providers to minimize the costs of litigation and to facilitate the expedient resolution of disputes. Before filing any demand for arbitration or initiating an action in court, you must complete the informal dispute resolution process form at this link. You will be required to provide your name, your email address (which must be the email address associated with your account with us, if applicable), your phone number, your mailing address, a detailed description of your dispute, the specific relief you seek, and your personal signature verifying the accuracy of your submission. If we initiate a dispute, we will also be required to contact you at the email address associated with your account with us and to provide a detailed description of our dispute and the specific relief we seek. We each agree that we consent to receive such notifications, and that either party may communicate directly with the other in an effort to satisfy or resolve any dispute, including by communicating any offers or demands. Once you or we initiate the informal dispute resolution process, you or we will have sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve our dispute. During that time, you or we may not initiate proceedings in arbitration or court. Also during that time, the party receiving the notice of dispute may demand an informal dispute resolution conference via telephone or videoconference, which may also be attended by counsel for both sides. You and we will each be required to personally participate in this conference in a good-faith attempt to resolve our dispute. You and we agree that failure to participate in the informal dispute resolution process, including the conference at the receiving party’s election, will constitute a material breach of these Terms of Service, and that no Claim may be submitted to arbitration or other adjudicatory proceedings if this term is breached. You and we agree that if a party attempts to submit a Claim to an arbitrator or judge without having participated in this informal dispute resolution process, the breaching party shall be liable to the other for the party’s actual fees and costs in responding to the breach. This informal dispute resolution process, including the conference at the receiving party’s election, must be individualized, meaning that only a single person’s claim will be addressed during any one conference.

All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and us or you and a third party agent of ours (each a “Claim”), if not resolved by the informal dispute resolution process and individualized conference, shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS’s Rules. Any demands for arbitration and subsequent arbitration filings must comply with the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 by the party making the submission or the party’s counsel, if applicable. In evaluating these demands or filings, the arbitrator, including any process administrator, if applicable, shall issue the sanctions that would be imposed under Rule 11 if its standard were violated. For Claims where the amount in controversy is less than $75,000, we will follow JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences. For Claims where the amount in controversy is greater than or equal to $75,000, we will follow JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences.

In all cases, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service or JAMS’s Rules to the contrary, if 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed by the same or coordinated counsel within a 60-day period or otherwise close in proximity, we will follow JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, including JAMS’s mass arbitration fee schedule, in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences, subject to the following modifications. First, when a mass arbitration commences (which determination shall be made pursuant to JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines as modified by this Arbitration Agreement), the parties will first engage in a bellwether arbitration process. Bellwether proceedings are modeled on the MDL process in federal court and are encouraged by courts and arbitration administrators where there are multiple disputes involving similar claims against the same or related parties. The parties shall select ten individual arbitration claims (five per side), designated the “Initial Test Cases,” to proceed to arbitration. Only the Initial Test Cases shall be submitted to an individual arbitrator by the process administrator. All other claims shall be held in abeyance. This means that the individual filing fees will be paid only for the Initial Test Cases; for all other demands for arbitration in the mass arbitration, the filing fees (together with any arbitrator consideration of the other demands) will be in abeyance, and neither you nor we will be required to pay any such filing fees. You and we also agree that neither you nor we shall be deemed to be in breach of this Arbitration Agreement for failure to pay any such filing fees, and that neither you nor we shall be entitled to any contractual, statutory, or other remedies, damages, or sanctions of any kind for failure to pay any such filing fees. If, pursuant to this subsection, a party files non-Bellwether Arbitrations with the arbitration provider, the parties agree that the arbitration provider shall hold those demands in abeyance and not refer them to the arbitrator pending resolution of the Initial Test Cases. Second, following the resolution of the Initial Test Cases, the parties agree to engage in a global mediation of all the remaining individual arbitration claims comprising the mass arbitration (“Global Mediation”), deferring any filing costs associated with the non-Initial Test Cases until the Initial Test Cases and subsequent Global Mediation have concluded. After the final awards are provided to the mediator in the Initial Test Cases, the mediator and the parties shall have 90 days to agree upon a substantive methodology and make an offer to resolve the outstanding cases. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding claims during the Global Mediation, the remaining claims shall proceed individually pursuant to JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and associated fee schedule, including that only a single filing fee and arbitrator appointment fee shall be assessed for each arbitrator, even if that arbitrator hears multiple individual cases. You and we also acknowledge that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled pending resolution of the bellwether and global mediation process.

In the event of a conflict between this Arbitration Agreement and JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, this Arbitration Agreement governs. In the event of a conflict between this Arbitration Agreement or JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines on the one hand, and JAMS’s Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards on the other, this Arbitration Agreement or JAMS’s Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines govern ove the Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, unless we waive the conflict to allow JAMS to administer the arbitration.

Should JAMS refuse to administer the arbitration or be unavailable to administer it, the arbitration will be heard by the AAA. For Claims where the amount in controversy is less than $75,000, we will follow AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences. For Claims where the amount in controversy is greater than or equal to $75,000, we will follow AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences. If a mass arbitration commences pursuant to the conditions described above, we will follow AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and fee schedule in effect as of the date the informal dispute resolution process commences, subject to the modifications described above. This Arbitration Agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with any rule of the AAA.

If neither JAMS nor AAA can administer the arbitration, including because they are not able to administer the arbitration(s) consistent with the rules, procedures, and terms of this arbitration agreement, including those regarding mass arbitrations, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum, with comparable fees and procedures for mass arbitrations, if applicable. If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate alternative arbitration provider, then the parties will ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5 that is able to administer the arbitration(s) consistent with the rules, procedures, and terms of this arbitration agreement, including those regarding mass arbitrations, if applicable. If no such arbitration provider is available, the dispute shall be resolved in state or federal court in Delaware.

The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator, subject to the provision above for mass arbitrations. The arbitrator, and not a court, shall determine any question of arbitrability of any claim and any question involving the scope of any arbitration. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies, or as specifically permitted by state law. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. However, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to, a claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Any questions not resolved by, and not in conflict with, the Federal Arbitration Act and federal law, shall be decided under the substantive law of Delaware.

The initiating party must pay all filing fees that the arbitration provider requires to be paid by the initiating party. Your and our responsibility to pay other administrative and arbitrator fees and costs will also be as set forth in the applicable arbitration provider’s rules, unless the arbitrator determines the claims or filings are frivolous. If a claim or filing is determined to be frivolous, the claimant is responsible for reimbursing the respondent for its portion of all such administrative, hearing, filing, and/or other fees incurred as a result of the frivolous claim or filing. The arbitration provider may also impose such obligation on the claimant’s attorneys if it determines they are responsible for the frivolous claim or filing. If you meet the standard for proceeding in forma pauperis in federal court, Delaware state court, or the courts of your state of residence, cannot obtain a waiver from the arbitration provider of any filing fees you are required to pay, and the arbitration provider refuses to administer the arbitration without your payment of said fees, we will pay the filing fees for you.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and we 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 these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.

Neither you nor we may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate 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/or our individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated, except as described in the mass arbitration provision above or pursuant to the arbitration provider’s mass arbitration rules. For further avoidance of doubt, no batching, consolidation, or otherwise grouping of the Demands or claims in Mass Arbitration is permitted without the express written consent of both parties. The arbitrator may award in the arbitration the same damages or other relief available under applicable law, including sanctions, subject to any applicable limitation of liability, including injunctive and declaratory relief, as if the action were brought in court on an individual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or herein, the arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction” may be awarded only by a federal or state court, which that party shall be permitted to pursue in the appropriate court. If either party seeks a “public injunction,” all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” Including a claim for “public injunctive relief” in any complaint shall not deprive the arbitrator of any right to hear and adjudicate all other claims in arbitration In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator. If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms 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 Terms. This Section of the Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. Any adjudicator, whether in court or in arbitration, shall sever as little as is necessary to make this Agreement valid and enforceable. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms 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 Terms. This Section of the Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, 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 THE JAMS STANDARDS, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Other Provisions

Under no circumstances will we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

These Terms and Conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. Any action to compel arbitration, or challenging the enforceability or applicability of the arbitration provisions herein, must be filed in the federal or state courts of Delaware. Any action filed in any other court shall be transferred to, or dismissed without prejudice for refiling only in, the federal or state courts of Delaware, after removal to the appropriate federal court, if applicable, for determination by the Delaware federal or state court as to whether the action should be stayed pending, or otherwise referred to, arbitration. Any claims that are not referred to arbitration must be adjudicated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Delaware. For such claims, the federal and state courts of Delaware shall have exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue over you and us, and you and we waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. If either party files suit in any court other than the federal or state courts of Delaware, in deciding whether to transfer or dismiss the action, or otherwise give effect to this provision, the court shall apply the standard set forth in Atlantic Marine Construction Co. v. U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, 571 U.S. 49 (2013). The parties also agree that transfer or dismissal cannot be denied based on inconvenience to the parties, piecemeal adjudication of the claims, a risk of inconsistent findings of law or fact, the presence of other parties who are not party to these terms, or any other private or public considerations.

You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms, the Site, or Services, not subject to the arbitration provision above, will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Indiana. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.

The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law.
