You also agree that Joe Bean is not obligated to display any or all of these Terms & Conditions on transaction receipts, invoices or purchase orders.
The Website is owned and operated by Joe Bean Coffee, LLC, a New York (USA) limited liability company. Any references herein to “Joe Bean,” “Joe Bean Coffee,” “Joe Bean Coffee Roasters,” “joebeanroasters.com,” “we” or “us” in these Terms & Conditions shall be deemed to refer to, as applicable under the circumstances, joebeanroasters.com and/or Joe Bean Coffee, LLC.
These Terms & Conditions, together with your order information specifying product, quantity, or service pertinent to your purchase, comprise the entire agreement between you and Joe Bean and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein.
All references in these Terms & Conditions to “Joe Bean,” “joebeanroasters.com” and/or “the Website” shall be deemed to include both the Website and any and all social media pages (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) maintained from time to time by Joe Bean Coffee, LLC or its affiliates. When purchasing products and services from the Website, and when posting information to or otherwise communicating via that page or your own social media page, your activities online are subject to these Terms & Conditions, Terms of Service, User Agreement or other terms and conditions imposed by that social media website, which may contain terms and conditions different from these Terms & Conditions.
Our Products. Joe Bean offers a variety of coffee, and related products (“Products”), at retail and wholesale, through its stores, through the Website, and through social media pages maintained by Joe Bean from time to time, and elsewhere.
Pricing & Availability. All prices for Products (and the associated costs of shipping and tax) are shown in U.S. dollars. All items are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order, and to discontinue Products without notice, even if you have already placed your order. All prices are subject to change without notice, and you agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the payment screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
Domestic Use Only. Our Products are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and Canada. You agree not to use or attempt to use our Products from outside these locations. If you use our Products from outside the United States of America you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation export and import regulations of other countries. Any diversion of any content, information or materials available on the Website contrary to United States law is prohibited. Joe Bean may use technologies to verify your compliance.
Acceptance of Order. Your placement of an order does not necessarily assure that we will accept your order. We reserve the right to refuse any order in our sole discretion. In addition, before accepting your order, we may require additional information if you have not provided all of the information required by us to complete your order. Once a properly completed order is received, authorization of your form of payment is received and we have accepted your order, we will promptly process your order.
Payment Terms. All amounts due for retail purchases of our Products are payable in full at the time of purchase. For wholesale and non-retail purchasers, all amounts due must be paid in full within fifteen (15) days from the date of shipment of the Products to you. Depending on the size of the order, Joe Bean reserves the right to require a down payment or full payment at the time of the purchase order. If payment is not received by the due date, the amount is considered past due. Past due payments may be subject to a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. Joe Bean accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. By submitting your order with payment of such cards, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated credit card and authorize us to charge your order (including taxes, shipping and handling) to that card. If the card cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. In the event you pay for Products by credit card and subsequently “charge back” your purchase through your merchant account provider, Joe Bean reserves the right to terminate these Terms & Conditions and all pending orders and transactions immediately in addition to any and all available remedies at law or in equity. In some instances, at Joe Bean’s sole discretion, payments may be made to Joe Bean by check or ACH with your name and bank imprinted on the check with the correct address. You agree to pay a $50.00 charge for each returned check and all collection costs, including attorney fees.
In-Store Pickup & Delivery. Depending on where you live, or whether your daily routine brings you near our roastery/coffee bar/store located at 565 Blossom Road, Suite E1, Rochester, NY 14610, it may be convenient for you to stop by and pickup your coffee. If you're ordering for pickup, our system sends an email notice when your order is available for pickup. Normal pickup hours are Monday – Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm. If you are a wholesale customer, your order is a case or more, and you live within a few miles of our roastery/coffee bar/store, we will usually be able to deliver to your front door the same day we roast for free. Sometimes, we have so many orders that delivery spills over into the next day, but we are almost always able to get coffee into customers hands the day it comes out of the roaster.
Shipping Terms & Policies. We endeavor to ship all orders for in-stock / freshly roasted Product items within three (3) business days. Our standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Standard shipping of Products is via independent carrier not affiliated with, or controlled by, Joe Bean, and you should allow two (2) to eight (8) business days for standard delivery once an order has been shipped. Expedited shipping is also available upon request. All shipping charges are your responsibility, unless waived by Joe Bean. Shipping charges will be included on your invoice and can be viewed prior to finalizing your order. The shipping charge shown during the invoice or checkout process is subject to verification. We reserve the right to substitute another carrier of equal or lesser cost to deliver your order. Shipping charges are subject to change without notice. All orders are shipped FOB shipping point. Title to Products passes from Joe Bean to you upon shipment and we are not responsible for any shipping delays or problems once the Product has been shipped.
Risk of Loss. It is your responsibility to seek compensation from the carrier for damaged or missing freight. Joe Bean shall not be responsible for any refunds, claims or damages resulting from a delay in the delivery or failure to deliver which results from: governmental regulations and permitting, strike, lockouts, accident, fire, acts of God, or any other causes beyond the control of Joe Bean. All sales are final, and all moneys paid to Joe Bean are non-refundable and all amounts due and payable upon shipment or delivery to Joe Bean are deemed fully earned upon such shipment or delivery.
Cancellation, Modification, Returns & Exchanges. When you shop with us, we want you to be completely satisfied. You have the right to inspect perishable Products on arrival and return immediately if not satisfied for reasons within the control of Joe Bean. Due to the short life of seasonal related coffee beans, no returns will be accepted beyond five (5) business days after receipt of the Product and shall be deemed accepted by you. Any refund of an order after you accepted perishable Product is non-refundable. A 15% restocking fee will be charged if associated perishable Products are rejected and properly returned.
Assumption of Risk. You expressly agree that use of our Products is at your sole risk. Neither Joe Bean Coffee, LLC nor its affiliates nor any of their members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, third party content providers, merchants, advertisers, sponsors, or affiliates (collectively “Providers”), or the like, warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted or error free, nor do they make any warranty as to any Products, or as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information, content, service, or merchandise provided through the Website.

In addition, all weights and size dimensions are approximate. In the event of an error, whether on the Website, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, in delivering a Product or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly, or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged.
