Michaels strives to display as accurately as possible the colors of the products shown on the Site; however, Michaels cannot and does not guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.
If an item is out of stock, Michaels may, in its sole discretion and at no extra cost to you, substitute another item for the out-of-stock item if Michaels, in its sole discretion, determines that the identical brand and product is available in a form that is of equal or greater value, for example, larger quantity, packaged with a trial sample, or with updated product packaging.
Michaels's acknowledgement of an order means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been accepted or shipped or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed. Michaels makes a conscientious effort to describe and display its products and services accurately on the Site. Despite these efforts, items on the Site could be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Site and in our advertising on other sites. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. Michaels reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. We apologize for any inconvenience. As part of our shipping procedures, we verify the availability and the price before an item is shipped. If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, if the item is no longer available, or if we determine that there were inaccuracies in our product information, we may cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation via email.
We are not responsible for, and cannot guarantee the pricing, availability or performance of goods or services listed by third party Marketplace or MakerPlace sellers on the Site. By purchasing a product designated as being sold by a third party Marketplace or MakerPlace seller, you acknowledge that your order will be fulfilled by that third party and not Michaels. The third party Marketplace or MakerPlace seller (and not Michaels) will be responsible for all processing, shipping, returns, and customer service related to your order. Products purchased from a third party seller can only be returned to that seller in accordance with its return policy. Each third party Marketplace or MakerPlace seller’s shipping information, return policy, customer service information, and privacy policy can be found on that seller’s storefront page. A third party Marketplace or MakerPlace seller may cancel an order made on the Site after a confirmation email has been sent, and notice of such cancellation will be sent to you via email by Michaels. Michaels is not responsible for such cancellations.
If you believe a Marketplace or MakerPlace seller is engaging in improper activity on the Site, you may report those concerns to us by reporting a product or seller via the Report feature on the Site, or contacting us at (800) MICHAELS.

If you decide to link to any such third-party sites, you do so entirely at your own risk.
Please read this "Arbitration Section" carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of through court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal, less burdensome to the parties, and less expensive than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.
No amendment to this Arbitration Section will apply to a dispute of which we had actual notice on the date of such amendment. Any termination of this Arbitration Section by us will not be effective (i) until 10 days after reasonable notice of termination is given to you; or (ii) as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
BINDING ARBITRATION REQUIRED. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims you may have with us, including those arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your access to and use of the Site, any purchase on the Site, or any other aspect of your relationship or interactions with us. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your access to or use of the Site, or your relationship with us or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.
The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by these Terms and Conditions. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. Each party is responsible for its own arbitration fees, but the arbitrator may award you your fees if you are successful on your claim. You and we agree that this Agreement, including this Arbitration Section will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and Texas state law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. Regardless of what the applicable AAA Rules provide, you and we agree that discovery in any arbitration will be limited to no more than three (3) depositions and five (5) requests for documents or interrogatories. The arbitrator may direct additional discovery only upon a clear and convincing showing of compelling need. You and we agree that the arbitrator(s) should decide the matter without a testimonial hearing if the material facts are undisputed. Either party may appeal an arbitration award to any court of proper jurisdiction only if the amount, or value of injunctive relief, in dispute exceeds $25,000. Appeals may result in reversal or modification of an award based on errors of law or factual findings that lack substantial evidentiary basis.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, this Arbitration Section will be void as to you.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
The Site is controlled and operated by Michaels from the United States, and is not intended to subject Michaels to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States.
