Affiliate Links Policy
US Family Mart participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This is the exact disclosure required by Amazon and the FTC.
In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, we may participate in other third-party affiliate programs.

Our full affiliate disclosure, including the types of programs we participate in and how commissions work, is available on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
- Clicking an affiliate link and making a purchase through it results in us receiving a small commission. There is no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link.
- Affiliate commission rates do not influence our editorial recommendations, product rankings, or review scores. See our Editorial Policy for our scoring methodology and commission-independence guarantee.
- Product prices and availability referenced in our Content are accurate as of the date of publication but may change without notice. Always verify current pricing on the retailer’s website before purchasing.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction
THESE TERMS AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THEM OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION, OR VALIDITY THEREOF, OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF [YOUR STATE], UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY DISPUTE IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER SECTION 17, OR IS BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND US FAMILY MART AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN [YOUR CITY], [YOUR STATE], UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. YOU AND US FAMILY MART EACH IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN SUCH COURTS, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH COURTS CONSTITUTE AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
Dispute Resolution, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
This Section requires you to resolve most disputes with US Family Mart through binding individual arbitration rather than in court. By agreeing to these Terms, you waive your right to a jury trial and your right to participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. You have the right to opt out of arbitration as described below.
BEFORE INITIATING ANY FORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING, YOU AND US FAMILY MART AGREE TO TRY TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE INFORMALLY. THE PARTY SEEKING RESOLUTION SHALL SEND WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY DESCRIBING THE DISPUTE IN REASONABLE DETAIL AND THE RELIEF SOUGHT. THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF SUCH NOTICE TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE INFORMALLY BEFORE EITHER PARTY MAY INITIATE ARBITRATION.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 17.4 (EXCEPTIONS), ANY DISPUTE THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY FINAL, BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES (AVAILABLE AT WWW.ADR.ORG), AS MODIFIED BY THESE TERMS. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH, IN [YOUR CITY], [YOUR STATE], UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE OR APPLICABLE RULES PERMIT REMOTE HEARINGS.
THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE ARBITRABILITY OF ANY CLAIM AND THE SCOPE, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING AND MAY BE ENTERED AS A JUDGMENT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
YOU AND US FAMILY MART EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING — WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT — SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, MASS ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE BY AN ARBITRATOR OR COURT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THEN THAT CLAIM SHALL BE SEVERED FROM ANY OTHER CLAIMS AND PROCEED IN COURT, WITH ALL REMAINING CLAIMS PROCEEDING IN ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, EITHER PARTY MAY BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT FOR DISPUTES WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL THRESHOLD OF THAT COURT, PROVIDED THE ACTION REMAINS IN THAT COURT AND PROCEEDS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. EITHER PARTY MAY ALSO SEEK EMERGENCY INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO PREVENT IMMINENT HARM PENDING ARBITRATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RELIEF FOR INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR VIOLATION OF THE ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY.
YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT TO [email protected] WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE YOU FIRST AGREE TO THESE TERMS (OR ANY SUBSEQUENT VERSION IN WHICH THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION APPEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME). YOUR OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF YOU OPT OUT, DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED IN COURT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.
TO THE EXTENT ANY DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND US FAMILY MART EACH WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY AND IS MADE IN LIGHT OF EACH PARTY’S CONSULTATION WITH OR OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE.
