Terms of service

Last updated: May 3, 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to The Scoop. The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Alexandra Frankel, doing business as "The Scoop" (a New Jersey sole proprietorship). The Scoop operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). The Scoop is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The terms below, together with any policies referenced in them (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms"), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. They include important information about your legal rights and cover topics such as warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and how disputes are resolved.

You agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy when you: visit or browse the Services; create an account; make a purchase; check a box, click a button, or otherwise indicate your acceptance; submit any form, survey, or other request; or otherwise interact with or use the Services in any way. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

If you are at least 13 but under 18 years of age, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf before you use the Services.

SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, or that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf as described in the Overview.

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Services, please contact us at support@thescoop.store and we will delete it.

If you allow a minor in your household to use your devices or account to access the Services, you accept responsibility for that use.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing any of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all the information you provide is correct, current, and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide it.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online stores. However, colors and product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to the type of device you use, your device settings, and your display configuration.

We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations or be the same as depicted or rendered in our online stores.

Product descriptions are subject to change at our sole discretion; however, the description, specifications, and price in effect at the time you place your order govern that purchase. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products that we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - INTENDED USE AND PRODUCT SAFETY

The Scoop is designed and intended solely for use as a measuring spoon for food-grade sticky ingredients — such as honey, peanut butter, molasses, and similar substances — in personal or household cooking contexts. The Scoop is not designed or intended for commercial food service use, for measuring hazardous substances, chemicals, medications, or any non-food materials, or for any purpose other than those described in these Terms.

Limited Warranty for Core Function.

Notwithstanding the general disclaimer in Section 15, The Scoop warrants that, when used as intended with sticky food-grade ingredients of typical household consistency, the clean-release mechanism will substantially evacuate the spoon's contents in a single push, leaving only minor surface residue typical of any food-contact utensil. "Substantially evacuate" means the visible bulk of the contents is expelled; trace residue is not a warranty failure.

If your product fails to perform this core function under those conditions, please contact us at support@thescoop.store within 30 days of receipt; we will replace the product or issue a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy. This limited warranty does not apply to damage resulting from misuse as described below.

You agree to use The Scoop only in accordance with its intended purpose. Use of The Scoop in any manner inconsistent with its intended purpose — including, but not limited to: applying force or pressure beyond what is reasonably required for normal household measuring; using a visibly cracked, damaged, or structurally compromised product; exposing the product to temperatures, chemicals, or conditions beyond those reasonably associated with household food preparation; or using the product as a tool, utensil, or instrument other than a measuring spoon — constitutes misuse. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Scoop shall not be liable for any injury, damage, or loss arising from or related to such misuse.

You agree to inspect the product upon receipt and before each use. If you notice any visible damage, cracks, deformation, or defects, discontinue use immediately and contact us at support@thescoop.store. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Scoop expressly disclaims liability for any injury or damage resulting from continued use of a visibly damaged product.

Keep out of reach of children under the age of 3. Children ages 3 and older should use The Scoop only under the supervision of a responsible adult. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Scoop assumes no liability for injury resulting from unsupervised use by minors.

SECTION 4 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. The Scoop reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason in its discretion. Your order is not accepted until The Scoop confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as The Scoop may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted.

If we decline or cancel your order after payment has been collected, we will issue a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy and will attempt to notify you at the email, billing address, or phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy.

Purchases through this site are intended for personal or household use. For wholesale, retail-resale, or commercial bulk orders, please contact us at support@thescoop.store; separate terms apply.

SECTION 5 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions 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. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs, or import charges.

Prices posted in our online stores may be different from prices offered in physical stores or in online or other stores operated by third parties. We may from time to time offer promotions on the Services that affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made at our stores. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, credit card numbers, and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any.

SECTION 6 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

All shipping, delivery, and lost-package terms are governed by our Shipping Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference and can be viewed here.

If The Scoop ships an incorrect product or to an incorrect address (where the address error is ours, not yours), we will, at our expense, ship the correct product or issue a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy. Errors caused by an incorrect address provided by you are governed by the Shipping Policy.

SECTION 7 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services, including but not limited to all brands, text, displays, images, graphics, product reviews, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are owned by The Scoop, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. copyright and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms permit you to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on the Services without our prior written consent. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, nothing grants or shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to you under any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of The Scoop, Shopify, or any third party. Unauthorized use of the Services may be a violation of federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by The Scoop.

Shopify's name, logo, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including any embedded third-party functionality). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these materials or third-party sites, you do so at your own risk.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to your access of any third-party websites, or your purchase or use of any products, services, resources, or content on any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed to the third party.

SECTION 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

The Scoop is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. Any sales and purchases you make in our store are made directly with The Scoop. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, claims arising from the products you purchase from us should be directed to The Scoop, not to Shopify. Nothing in this section waives any rights you may have under applicable law against Shopify for Shopify's own actions, including platform-level failures, infrastructure outages, or breaches of Shopify's Terms of Service.

SECTION 10 - PRIVACY POLICY

All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, and certain personal information may be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide services to you. Review our Privacy Policy for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other states may have additional privacy rights described in our Privacy Policy.

SECTION 11 - FEEDBACK

If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit any ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or other content (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback solely for the purpose of operating, evaluating, improving, and promoting The Scoop's products and Services, including in our own marketing on owned and operated channels and on channels operated by our vendors on our behalf. Sublicensing of Feedback for unrelated third-party commercial use is not granted.

For Feedback that includes images, video, or audio depicting an identifiable person, the license above applies only to content that you confirm depicts: (a) yourself; (b) other adults whose written consent you have obtained; or (c) no identifiable persons. You may revoke the license for image-based Feedback by written notice to support@thescoop.store; we will cease new uses within 30 days, though existing uses (such as printed materials) may continue.

You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your submission of Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We have no obligation to (1) maintain your Feedback in confidence, (2) pay compensation for your Feedback, or (3) respond to your Feedback.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party's intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your Feedback will not violate any right of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, or any computer virus or other malware. You may not use a false email address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third parties as to the origin of any Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you submit and its accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

SECTION 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally there may be information on or in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times, and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). If we cancel your order under this section after payment has been collected, we will issue a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy.

SECTION 13 - PROHIBITED USES

You may access and use the Services for lawful purposes only. You may not access or use the Services, directly or indirectly: (a) for any unlawful or malicious purpose; (b) to violate any international, federal, state, or local regulations, rules, laws, or ordinances; (c) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or harm any of our employees, contractors, or any other person; (e) to transmit false or misleading information; (f) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material that does not comply with these Terms; (g) to transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material, including any "junk mail," "chain letter," "spam," or other similar solicitation; (h) to impersonate or attempt to impersonate any other person or entity; or (i) to engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Services, or that, as determined by us, may harm The Scoop, Shopify, or users of the Services, or expose them to liability.

In addition, you agree not to: (a) upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code that will or may be used in any way that affects the functionality or operation of the Services; (b) reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Services; (c) collect or track the personal information of others; (d) spam, phish, pharm, pretext, spider, crawl, or scrape; or (e) interfere with or circumvent the security features of the Services or any related website. We reserve the right to suspend, disable, or terminate your account at any time, without notice, if we determine that you have violated any part of these Terms.

SECTION 14 - TERMINATION

We may terminate this agreement or your access to the Services (or any part thereof) in our sole discretion at any time without notice, and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.

The following sections will continue to apply following any termination: Intellectual Property; Feedback; Termination; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Informal Dispute Resolution; Arbitration and Class Action Waiver; Indemnification; Severability; Waiver; Entire Agreement; Assignment; Governing Law; Privacy Policy; and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.

SECTION 15 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION DISCLAIMS OR LIMITS: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW; (B) ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER THE NEW JERSEY PRODUCTS LIABILITY ACT (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 ET SEQ.); (C) THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE PRODUCT'S CORE FUNCTION SET FORTH IN SECTION 3; (D) ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, INCLUDING THE MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT (15 U.S.C. § 2301 ET SEQ.); OR (E) ANY OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU BASED ON WHERE YOU RESIDE OR WHERE YOU PURCHASED THE PRODUCT, WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED BY CONTRACT.

SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL PRODUCTS OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT, OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

SECTION 16 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SCOOP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, OR REPLACEMENT COSTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, THE SCOOP'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS CAP APPLIES TO NON-INJURY CLAIMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BILLING ERRORS, DELAYS, AND DELIVERY OF AN INCORRECT PRODUCT.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY FOR: (A) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY; (B) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (C) ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THE NEW JERSEY PRODUCTS LIABILITY ACT (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 ET SEQ.), THE NEW JERSEY CONSUMER FRAUD ACT (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 ET SEQ.), OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL OR STATE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW APPLICABLE TO YOU FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PRODUCT DEFECT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PURCHASE-PRICE CAP IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 17 - INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Most disputes can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us. Before initiating arbitration under Section 18 or filing a small-claims action, you and The Scoop agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally as described below.

To begin the informal dispute resolution process, you must send a written notice to support@thescoop.store describing: (a) the nature and basis of the claim; (b) the specific relief sought; (c) your name, the email address associated with your account or order, and your order number, if applicable; and (d) the date the dispute arose. The Scoop will send a corresponding written notice to the email address associated with your account.

You and The Scoop agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through this informal process for at least 60 days from the date the written notice is received. Neither party may initiate arbitration or a small-claims action concerning the dispute until this 60-day period has expired. If you do not first comply with this Section 17, an arbitrator or court may dismiss your claim.

Any applicable statute of limitations and any deadlines for filing a claim shall be tolled during the informal dispute resolution period.

SECTION 18 - ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE THE SCOOP IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY. INSTEAD, ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW, EXCEPT FOR SMALL-CLAIMS ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or your use of the Services or purchase of any products, that is not resolved through the Informal Dispute Resolution process in Section 17 shall be resolved by binding arbitration between you and The Scoop, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court (or its equivalent) for any claim that qualifies under that court's jurisdictional limits.

YOU AND THE SCOOP EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration may be conducted remotely by video or telephone, or in person in Essex County, New Jersey, at the election of the consumer. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The Scoop will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees that exceed the consumer fee set under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If the consumer fee under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules would be a financial hardship for you, contact support@thescoop.store and The Scoop will pay that fee on your behalf.

If 25 or more arbitration demands are filed against The Scoop within a 60-day period asserting substantially similar claims and represented by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree to resolve those claims under a coordinated bellwether process: (a) counsel for the claimants and The Scoop shall each select up to 5 representative cases (10 total) to proceed first as bellwether arbitrations; (b) AAA shall stay the remaining arbitrations until the bellwether arbitrations are concluded; (c) following the bellwether arbitrations, the parties shall confer in good faith for 60 days to attempt resolution of the remaining claims based on the bellwether outcomes; (d) if no resolution is reached, the remaining stayed arbitrations may then proceed. The Scoop's obligation to pay AAA fees during a coordinated mass filing applies only to the bellwether arbitrations until those are concluded; fees for stayed arbitrations are payable as those proceedings resume.

Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction for matters related to intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Services.

SECTION 19 - INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Scoop and its affiliates, partners, officers, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities, or claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees, payable to any third party arising out of: (1) your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference; (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (3) your use of the Services in a manner not permitted by these Terms.

Your total cumulative obligation under this Section 19, taken together with The Scoop's liability under Section 16, shall not exceed the purchase price you paid for the product or service giving rise to the claim, except as carved out in Section 16. This indemnification obligation does not apply to any claim arising from our failure to process a return, issue a refund, or otherwise fulfill our obligations under our Refund Policy.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to promptly notify will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents.

SECTION 20 - SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

If the class-action waiver in Section 18 is found unenforceable as to any particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed from the arbitration provision and brought in court; the remainder of Section 18 shall remain in force.

SECTION 21 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including any prior versions of the Terms of Service).

SECTION 22 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not delegate, transfer, or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any such attempt will be null and void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without your consent; however, for any material assignment of this Agreement — including a sale or transfer of the business — we will provide at least 30 days' advance email notice to the address associated with your account.

SECTION 23 - GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey and applicable federal law. You and The Scoop consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in New Jersey for any disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 18.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section limits or waives any rights you may have under the laws of your own state of residence or under applicable federal consumer protection law that cannot be waived by contract. If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory consumer protection law applicable to you, that law will control to the extent of the conflict.

SECTION 24 - HEADINGS

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.

SECTION 25 - CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.

We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms of Service. For non-material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date on this page. For material changes — including changes that affect your legal rights, our dispute resolution process, or your liability — we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice by email to the address associated with your account. For material changes that affect dispute resolution, liability limits, or recurring obligations, the change will be presented for affirmative acceptance the next time you log in or place an order; continued use alone will not, by itself, constitute acceptance of such material changes.

Each version of these Terms and any incorporated policies will carry an effective date. Prior versions will be archived and available on request to support@thescoop.store. The version of the Terms and incorporated policies in effect at the time of your order or last interaction governs that order or interaction.
