Last Modified: March 12, 2019

HELM HOLDCO, INC. (“The Helm”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a one-stop shop that focuses on women-centered innovation, offering editorial content and curation of female-founded products, services, and experiences.

Our Services bring together Users as well as female-founded Vendors who offer Users products and services (“Vendor Products”).

  • If you are aUser”—a person who is visiting our Website or otherwise accessing our Services because you are interested in what we do and want to engage with our content, our services, the women we support and their products—these Terms of Use (these “Terms”) apply to you and govern our relationship, as well as your rights and obligations when interacting with our Services.
  • If you are a trustedVendor”—a business, business owner, employee, or agent offering products and services via our Services—the Vendor Agreement we signed primarily governs our relationship, and these Terms only apply to the extent they supplement (not supersede) and do not conflict with the provisions of the Vendor Agreement.

Some parts of these Terms apply to both Users and Vendors, but other parts may only apply to one or the other. Unless we specifically say otherwise, you should assume the Terms apply to everyone who accesses our Services—“you”.

Please read these Terms carefully because this is a legally binding contract between you and The Helm and governs your use of our (a) operates www.thehelm.co/ (including any successor websites) (this “Website”), (b) mobile, web, tablet, desktop and other applications (“Apps”), and (c) other content, applications, features, functionality, information and services offered by us, whether through our Apps or the Website (each of the above individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Services”).

ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

By using any of our Services or purchasing Vendor Products, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. Those registering as a Vendor personally guarantee to have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of their business.

Please note that the Section on “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” below contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to resolve all disputes through confidential, binding arbitration—which means a waiver any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury—and waiver any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative class actions.

If you do not want to agree to these Terms, your only option is to not access or use the Website or our Services.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time as is necessary. All changes are effective immediately after we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services and the purchase or sale of Vendor Products. We expect you will check this page from time to time so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Your continued use of the Services or User’s purchase of Vendor Products following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.

Vendors only receive information that is necessary to complete the order, including shipping information. You can find detailed information about how The Helm, Vendors, and Shopify treat personal information and payment information on our Privacy Policy.

Shipping

The Helm ships only to physical addresses within the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. We do not ship to P.O. Boxes, APO, or FPO addresses.

The Helm at no time shall have any title to or bear any risk of loss for any Vendor Products.

Refunds will be issued promptly upon receiving the goods back in good condition meaning that they are unopened, unused, with tags still on, and in their original packaging. No exchanges are permissible.

Vendors are solely responsible for wrongly fulfilled, damaged, and/or lost items.

Transaction Security

The Helm may refuse service to anyone, for any reason, at any time. We may decline a transaction that appears to be fraudulent or high risk.
