THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. 

 

THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. 

 

BY PLACING AN ORDER FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM https://www.totemlabs.com/ OR https://www.totemlabs.shop/ (COLLECTIVELY, THE "WEBSITE"), YOU ACCEPT AND ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 

YOU MAY NOT ORDER OR OBTAIN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THE WEBSITE IF YOU (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (B) ARE NOT THE OLDER OF (i) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR (ii) LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH TOTEM, OR (C) ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OF THIS WEBSITE'S CONTENTS, GOODS OR SERVICES BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

These terms and conditions (these "Terms") apply to the purchase and sale of products and services through the Website. These Terms are subject to change by Totem, Inc. (referred to as "Totem", "us", "we", or "our" as the context may require) without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. The latest version of these Terms will be posted on the Website, and you should review these Terms before purchasing any product or services that are available through the Website. Your continued use of the Website after a posted change in these Terms will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

These Terms are an integral part of our Website Terms of Use that apply generally to the use of https://www.totemlabs.com/. You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy before placing an order for products or services through the Website.

 

 

1. Order Acceptance and Cancellation

You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept any orders in our sole discretion. After having received your order, we will send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. Acceptance of your order will not take place unless and until you have received your order confirmation email. Please note that we may choose to delay processing your payment up to the time your order has been shipped. We may also process payment for and ship parts of your order separately. You have the option to cancel your order at any time and get a full refund before your label has been created and we have sent your tracking information.

We may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement in our sole discretion by posting an updated version of these terms and conditions at this location; provided, however, that the terms and condition of this Agreement in effect as of the date of an applicable order shall continue to govern such order and the products purchased thereunder.


2. Prices and Payment Terms

(a)      All prices posted on the Website 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. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling, including, without limitation, document fees and import duties. When possible, all such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.

 

(b)     Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us 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 all applicable taxes, if any. If your payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your order(s) may be suspended or canceled. Please note that some credit card companies, banks, and financial institutions may place an authorization or temporary hold on your account in connection with your purchase. Please contact your credit card company, bank, or financial institutions directly to inquire about any such authorization or hold.

 

 

3. Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss

(a)      We will arrange for shipment of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process.

 

(b)      Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

 

 

4. Returns and Refunds

Except for any products designated on the Website as non-returnable, we will accept a return of unused products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within sixty (60) days of delivery and provided such products are returned in their original condition and packaging. To return products, you must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") by sending an email to shop@totemlabs.com. No returns of any type will be accepted without an RMA.

 

You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.

 

Refunds are processed within approximately seven (7) business days of our receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Website. WE OFFER NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THE WEBSITE AS NON-RETURNABLE OR THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED.

All promotional offers, voucher codes, exclusive offers and special offers (“Offer(s)”) are subject to the terms and conditions of the associated Offer and may not be combined or used in conjunction with other Offers unless specifically permitted. Only one Offer maybe used per order and such Offer is applicable to in-stock items only, unless otherwise agreed to by Totem. Totem reserves the right to decline orders where it determines in its sole discretion the Offer or use thereof is invalid. Purchases using an Offer must comply with the terms to qualify for the Offer and may be subject to additional conditions than those contained in these Terms of Sale as provided to you in connection with the Offer. Offers are not redeemable for cash.

8. Compliance and Testing

All Totem products undergo rigorous evaluation to ensure compliance with applicable safety and performance standards. The Totem Compass (Model Gen 1) has successfully completed Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and full radiofrequency compliance certification in accordance with FCC Part 15, Subpart C, and FCC Part 2.1093 for portable exposure limits.

Testing was conducted by Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., a TCB-certified laboratory (FCC Designation US1112) in Lexington, Kentucky. The Totem Compass demonstrated full compliance with the 1.6 W/kg SAR limit for general population/uncontrolled exposure, with worst-case measured values of 0.44 W/kg (1 g) and 0.24 W/kg (10 g)—well below regulatory limits.

The Totem Compass holds official FCC certification under the following grant number: 2BMQS-1 (DSS – Bluetooth Classic, DTS – Bluetooth LE/Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz)

 

These grants authorize operation under FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart C for 2.4 GHz communications and verify that the device satisfies all requirements for unlicensed intentional radiators and RF exposure compliance.

As part of this authorization, no additional separation distance from the skin is required under normal use conditions. The device is approved for continuous wearable operation, including when bonded with other Totem Compasses.

Totem remains committed to meeting and exceeding global safety and quality benchmarks. Each Totem Compass unit is tested and certified to conform with FCC and ISED Canada requirements (RSS-102 Issue 6) and to maintain ongoing compliance with international standards such as IEC/IEEE 62209-1528:2020.
