If you have been charged for an order that is subsequently rejected by Interaxon, Interaxon will refund the amount of that order.
- Delivery Requirements. Interaxon will make commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate your delivery requirements; however, delivery is subject to availability of resources at the time of order placement. Interaxon will therefore not be liable in any way for any delay or damage arising from Interaxon’s failure to meet your delivery requirements or any specified delivery dates.
- Shipping Terms. All shipments will be made FCA Interaxon’s facilities (Incoterms 2010). Risk of loss for Products will pass to you in accordance with the FCA (Incoterms 2010) shipping. You are responsible for insuring the shipment and for pursuing the carrier for any loss occurring in transit.

For greater certainty, you should contact your local customs office for further information on the import taxes and customs duties that may be applicable to your purchase. You agree and acknowledge that: (a) the actual import fees may be more or less than the Import Fees Estimate; and (b) you will NOT receive any refund in the case that the actual import fees differ from the Import Fees Estimate.

Limited Warranty For The Muse Headband
Dead on Arrival Products. If you are the original purchaser of a Muse headband from Interaxon or an authorised Interaxon retailer and the Muse headband is Dead on Arrival (namely, when you first attempted to use the product after opening the box, it demonstrated hardware failure, preventing even basic operability), the Muse headband may be returned by you to us within thirty (30) days of your original purchase.
If we verify that you were the original purchaser of the product and the product was Dead on Arrival, we will offer you the following options at our expense:
- (a) ship you a replacement product; or
- (b) service the product, in which case you will not have the right of replacement.
To be eligible to return any Dead on Arrival product to us, you must follow the warranty claim process set out below.
Manufacturer Defects. Your Muse headband is warranted by Interaxon Inc. and/or its affiliates (“Interaxon”) to be free of defects in materials or workmanship, under normal use, for a period of one (1) year from the date of your original purchase of the new Muse headband except to the extent a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Warranty Period”). This limited warranty excludes damage resulting from: (i) improper care or handling (including, without limitation, user abuse or proximity to moisture or heat), (ii) accidents, (iii) modification, (iv) unauthorized repairs, (v) use of the Muse headband with accessories, products, services or software applications not expressly approved or provided by Interaxon, (vi) use of the Muse headband in a manner contrary to, or not in accordance with, the documentation, guidelines or instructions provided by Interaxon or (vi) other causes which are not defects in materials or workmanship of the Muse headband.
This warranty does not cover: (a) used or refurbished products; (b) products provided as a “sample”, “AS IS” or “complimentary”; (c) any third party products Interaxon sells; or (d) any accessories for the Muse headband.
The warranty only extends to new Muse headbands purchased by you from Interaxon or an authorised Interaxon retailer.
If there is a covered defect with the Muse headband, Interaxon will, at its discretion, repair (with new or refurbished parts) or replace (with new or refurbished product) your Muse headband free of charge, or will issue you with a refund. The Warranty Period for the repaired or replaced Muse headband will expire upon the expiration of the original Warranty Period (except to the extent Interaxon is expressly required by law to provide you a longer Warranty Period for the repaired or replaced Muse headband).
This warranty is a hardware only warranty that is limited to the Muse headband and does not cover any software made available, shipped, pre-loaded, or distributed by Interaxon or any third party, even if the software is packaged or sold with the product, or available for the product at a later time. Software license agreements apply to your use of software associated with the Muse headband. The software license for Interaxon proprietary software to be used with the Muse headband is described in the applicable Interaxon end user license agreement.
To be eligible to return any defective Muse headband to us, you must follow the warranty claim process set out below.
Warranty Claim Process. To be eligible to return any Muse headband to us, you must have a Dead on Arrival product or a Muse headband with a manufacturer’s defect and you must:
- (1) prior to shipping the Muse headband to us, contact us through http://choosemuse.com/pages/contact and obtain a Return Material Authorisation (RMA) number, shipping address and other instructions. The RMA number must be included with your Muse headband return
- (2) provide us valid proof of your original purchase
- (3) package the Muse headband in the original, unmarked packaging together with all accessories, manuals, and documentation (unless otherwise requested by Interaxon)
- (4) include a description of the reason for the Muse headband return.
If we determine that there was no valid reason for returning the Muse headband to us (i.e. it was not Dead on Arrival or did not have a manufacturer’s defect), we may, at our discretion, refuse to accept the Muse headband or return the Muse headband to you and charge you a USD$200 handling fee.
Limitation of Liability. The Muse headband is provided “AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS”, and Interaxon hereby disclaims all other warranties, conditions and the provision of or failure to provide support or other services, information, software, and related content through the Muse headband or otherwise arising out of the use of the Muse headband . This limited warranty is in place of all other express and implied warranties, conditions, representations, or guarantees of any kind (including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality and/or fitness for a particular purpose) which are all hereby excluded and shall have no effect. In no event shall Interaxon or anyone acting on behalf of or with Interaxon (including, without limitation, in relation to the manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, repair or return of the product) be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of use of the products or functionality, business interruption, loss or corruption of information (including data), or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the Muse headband even if Interaxon or anyone acting on behalf of Interaxon has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation is intended to apply and does apply without regard to whether such damages are claimed, asserted or brought in an action or claim in tort, contract, on the warranty, or under any other legal theory. The liability of Interaxon (and any one acting on behalf of or with Interaxon) to you for loss or damage arising under this warranty shall not exceed in aggregate the net purchase price you paid for the product or the cost of replacing the Muse headband , whichever is greater. The foregoing shall not in any way restrict any liability in relation to death or bodily injury or statutory liability for intentional and gross negligent acts or omissions. No other person or company is authorized to change this warranty.
Some states and countries do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, or exclusion of all or certain types of damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other additional statutory rights, which vary from state to state or within a particular country. The foregoing is without prejudice to other legal rights that may arise under applicable mandatory legislation. This warranty extends only to new Muse headband purchased by you from Interaxon or an authorized Interaxon retailer.
Your Rights Under Australian Consumer Laws. If you are a consumer you may have statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law that are in addition to those set out in this limited warranty (“Consumer Rights“). This limited warranty sets out certain situations when Interaxon will, or will not, provide a remedy for a Muse headband. This limited warranty does not limit or exclude any of your Consumer Rights relating to the Muse headband.
Under your Consumer Rights, you are entitled to: (a) a replacement or refund for Muse headband with a major failure, and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage; and (b) have the Muse headband repaired or replaced if the Muse headband fails to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure; and (c) such remedies are in addition to your rights under this limited warranty.
If you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, you may return a defective Muse headband to: (a) the authorized Interaxon retailer from whom you purchased the Muse headband; or (b) Interaxon directly by contacting Interaxon pursuant to the warranty claims process set out above, or by phoning +1 416 598 8989.

Privacy and Consent. Information received by Interaxon will be used, processed, transmitted, and disclosed in accordance with Interaxon Privacy Policy (available at http://www.choosemuse.com/legal ) in order to perform the warranty services described in this limited warranty. This may include obtaining your information and the product from service providers, retailers, resellers and distributors involved in the chain of custody of the product upon which warranty services are performed, and transferring your information and the product to Interaxon service providers. You agree that Interaxon and its affiliates, agents and providers may collect and use information gathered in any manner as part of services related to the product.
Language. If this Warranty is translated in a language other than English, to the extent of any conflict between the English version and the translated version, the English version will prevail.

We use the following Tracking Technologies in connection with the Products:
- Necessary Tracking Technologies: These are Tracking Technologies that are required for the operation of our Products, to enhance your user experience when you use our Products, and to embed third-party features. They include, for example, Tracking Technologies that enable you to log into your account or access the features or web pages you select, remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language), pre-fill form fields you have previously completed, and integrate useful services provided by third party providers into our Products, such as social media features.
- Analytics Tracking Technologies: We use third party web and mobile analytics services such as Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics, to help us analyze how visitors use the Products. We may permit these third parties to operate directly on or through our Products, using their own Tracking Technologies, and to collect information about you on our behalf. These Tracking Technologies allow us to measure and analyse behaviours and usage patterns of our customers, such as which pages or features are visited or used most often, for how long, and whether an error message is received by a customer. These analytics services may also provide us with other data they collect outside of our applications in an aggregated, de-identified form. We use this information to help us with Product performance monitoring and enhancement, and technical troubleshooting.
- Interest-Based Advertising Tracking Technologies: When you visit our websites or apps, we may allow some third parties to (such as advertising networks and data analytics companies) collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and apps (such as websites and apps you visit and response to ads) in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our websites. In some instances, we may also combine information we receive about you from third parties with information we collect through our websites. To opt-out of interest-based advertising, please see “Opting-out of Interest-Based Advertising” below.
You may set your web browser or Personal Device settings to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain Tracking Technologies. In our apps, we provide the ability to opt-out of Tracking Technologies, typically found in the settings. However, if you decide not to accept Tracking Technologies in connection with our Products, you may not be able to take advantage of all the features of our Products.
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, and how to adjust your browser settings to block cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. Your browser settings may also allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. However, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.

To successfully opt-out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser. Please see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them. Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each device that you use. Once you opt-out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you may need to opt-out again.
USE OF DE-IDENTIFIED DATA
Some of the information that you share with us or that we collect about you may not by itself identify you to us or be personally identifiable and therefore may not be considered personal information. We may also remove personal identifiers from your information to render such personal information non-identifiable. This includes Muse Data and in-app surveys. We maintain and use it as de-identified data, and may combine such de-identified data with other information to generate aggregated data.

These websites and services operate independently of us and may have established their own privacy and security policies. We do not have control over such websites and services, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites or services may collect, use or disclose, secure, and otherwise treat personal information. We recommend that you review their privacy policy prior to sharing information with them.

Typically, we will retain your Muse account personal information for as long as you have an account on one or more of our Products. We will delete your personal information from our Products if your account becomes inactive, i.e., there has been no user log-in to the account for a period set by us from time-to time (such period of non-activity will not exceed 10 years) or if you withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information (e.g., if you delete your account). In such case, backup copies of your personal information will be removed from our cloud, however it may persist in our database for a short period (up to 30 days) due to technical reasons. Interaxon may continue to use de-identified data and aggregate information obtained in connection with your use of the Products.

What is considered to be personal data is described further in the Privacy Policy and may be defined by applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Generally, personal data is any data related to a natural person who is identified or identifiable – personal data may include the person’s name, email or other address(es), phone number(s), photographs, or other data that could identify the person or be used with other data to identify the user.
If you share information generated through or as part of your Membership with a third party such as a Professional or your employer, you may be able to do so by providing your consent to such third party and/or Interaxon. You may take back or revoke your consent (unless Interaxon has already acted based on it) by submitting a specific revocation request in writing to Interaxon through http://choosemuse.com/pages/contact , specifying that you revoke your consent to share information generated through your Membership with the specified third party. Your revocation will take effect, when Interaxon actually receives and processes your request. Interaxon cannot give it retroactive effect, so it will not affect any use or disclosure that occurred in Interaxon’s reliance on your consent prior to revocation. We are not responsible for any use or disclosure of your information by the Professional or another third party.
