Last Updated 12/19/2024

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you, the user (“User” or “You”) and Gifts for Good, LLC, a California corporation (“GFG” or “We”), governing your access and use of www.giftsforgood.com (the “Site”) and the software, services and products made available through the Site (collectively the “Services”).

By checking the “I Agree to the Terms of Service” box, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

SECTION 12 OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS – WHICH INCLUDES A WAIVER OF A RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION.

Internet technology, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations change frequently. GFG reserves the right to make changes to these Terms of Service at any time. Any such modifications will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site, and your continued use of the Services following such posting constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Service.

1. Gifts for Good

Gifts For Good is an online marketplace dedicated to connecting corporate and public sector professionals to meaningful gifts that support charitable and enterprise-based causes.

2. General Rules About Creating Accounts

Although users do not need to create an account to purchase products on the Site, users may want the convenience of an account for faster checkout or to view and track their orders.

• Eligibility: To be eligible to create an account, you must be at least 18 years of age.
• Account Creation: To establish an account through the online registration process, you must provide your name, a valid email address, create a password, and accept these Terms of Service. Users may also input and store their shipping, billing, and credit card information for faster checkout. When an account is created, you will automatically be subscribed to GFG’s newsletters, unless you opt-out during the account creation process. Users can also opt-out at any time through the unsubscribe link in that newsletter and/or corresponding email.
• Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your password and agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are solely responsible and liable for any activities or actions taken under your password, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. GFG shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your password or account secure.

3. Product & Order Information

• Product Descriptions: GFG does its best to describe offered products, including their colors, as accurately as possible; however, the appearance of those colors may vary as a result of differences in manufacturing processes and materials, the quality of your monitor, and for other reasons beyond GFG’s control.
• Product Availability: GFG offers unique products created by companies that support charitable and enterprise-based causes. Quantities of some products may be limited and stock cannot always be guaranteed. When an item is out of stock and cannot be replenished we will attempt to remove the item from the Site as soon as commercially reasonable and notify you of the unavailability of the item(s) and potential alternative products available for your consideration.
• Pricing: Products offered for sale on this website are quoted in U.S. dollars. Prices are subject to change without notice. The price for an item may differ from the price shown in a User’s shopping cart and it is possible that such price may increase or decrease between the time the item is placed in a shopping cart and the time that the purchase is actually made. In addition, we may occasionally make errors in the posted prices. If a product's correct price is higher than the listed price, we will, in our discretion, either confirm the correct price with you or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
• Promotions and Discounts: GFG may offer promotions and discounts for a limited time on the Site and reserves the right to modify or terminate such promotions and discounts at any time. All discounts and promotions are subject to the advertised terms and conditions and subject to availability of applicable products.
• Gift Cards: Gift Cards offered on the Site are redeemable only for eligible products on the Site. Gift Cards may not be reloaded or redeemed for cash, except to the extent required by applicable law. Purchases made with a Gift Card will be deducted from the redeemer's Gift Card balance and any unused balance will be available for future purchases. Purchase amounts that exceed the redeemer's Gift Card balance will require that the remaining balance due be paid with another acceptable payment method. Gift Cards are not returnable, cancelable or exchangeable after purchase for cash, except in states where required by law. Gift Cards do not expire and GFG does not assess any service fees for non-use.
• Shipping & Sales Tax: All applicable shipping and sales tax charges are calculated at checkout.
• Payment Authorization: When you place an order, you authorize the purchase and delivery of those products at the shipping address provided during the checkout process or otherwise stored in your account. You agree to provide GFG with all relevant payment information prior to placing an order and you expressly authorize us to process all charges on the credit or debit card provided.
• Refunds: Refunds shall be made in accordance with our Refund Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.
• Risk of Loss: All items purchased from GFG are made pursuant to a shipment contract. The risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon delivery to the carrier.
• Product Disclaimer: GFG does not manufacture, produce or label any of the products available for purchase on the Site and does not control the practices of third party suppliers of products offered for sale on the Site. GFG shall not be liable for loss or other damages that may result from your purchase or use of any products on the Site.
• We reserve the right to prohibit any orders that we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, have been placed for the purpose of resale.

4. E-Gift Cards

The following terms and conditions apply to all electronic gift cards ("E-Gift Cards") purchased through the Site.

• Redemption: E-Gift Cards may be used only for the purchase of eligible goods on the Site. Purchases will be deducted from the E-Gift Card balance until the value reaches zero. E-Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase other E-Gift Cards. Under California Civil Code Section 1749.5, gift cards with a cash value of less than ten dollars ($10) are redeemable in cash for their cash value. Redemption policies may vary based on the laws of the state where the E-Gift Card is redeemed.
• No Expiration: E-Gift Cards have no expiration date and no service fees for the non-use of the E-Gift Card.
• Reloads: E-Gift Cards are not reloadable.
• Limitations: E-Gift Cards cannot be resold, transferred for value, or redeemed for cash, except to the extent required by law. Unused E-Gift Card balances may not be transferred to another Site account for account credit.
• Risk of Loss: The risk of loss and title for E-Gift Cards pass to the purchaser upon GFG’s electronic transmission to the recipient. We are not responsible if any E-Gift Card is lost, stolen, destroyed, or used without your or the recipient’s permission.
• Fraud: We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or hold for review any E-Gift Cards and orders for suspected fraud, violations of applicable law, or other violations of these Terms of Service.
