12. GIFTING.  When acting as a Gift Giver, you will access the Service through a Site or a Partner Site and locate an End User Host’s Registry.  It is not necessary to have an account on the Service to be a Gift Giver. Once you have located the desired Registry you will have the ability to contribute Gift Funds to the End User Host that created the Registry. The Service will direct you to a checkout webpage where you will enter personal information, which includes, but may not be limited to, payment information. We may share your personal information with third party service providers who provide payment processing services. All data collected from Gift Giver will be handled in accordance with Celebration Wishes’ Privacy Policy. You hereby authorize us or the applicable payment processor to charge the full Gift Funds amount you select, to the credit or debit card you provide for such purchases.  In addition, you acknowledge that the third party payment processor, as applicable, may have a processing fee as detailed on the payment screen and that you will be charged the processing fee amount in addition to the amount due for Gift Funds and other Fees.  You hereby authorize the applicable payment processor to charge such processing fee amount.

13. FEES. A Service Fee will be charged on all Gift Funds transactions and may be the responsibility of the Gift Giver or End User Host. The party responsible for the Service Fee will be determined at the sole discretion of the End User Host at the time of his or her Registry creation. During the account sign up process, End User Host will choose whether he or she prefers to subtract the Service Fee from the Gift Funds amount before redeeming the Gift Funds or have the Gift Giver pay the Service Fee at the time of gifting. See FAQ’s for description of how the Service Fee is used. The Credit Card Fee will be the obligation of  Gift Giver at the time of gifting.
14. CREDIT CARD DISPUTE POLICY.  If any Gift Funds are disputed by the Gift Giver with their credit card company and the Gift Funds have been transferred from Celebration Wishes to End User Host, the End User Host is responsible for returning the disputed Gift Funds to Celebration Wishes. If Gift Funds are disputed by the Gift Giver with their credit card company before the Gift has been transferred to the intended End User Host, then any Fees charged to Celebration Wishes by the credit card company (typically in an amount of $15.00) will be deducted from the Gift Funds amount. So long as Gift Funds have not been transferred to End User Host and remain in dispute, such disputed amount will be ineligible for transFer to End User Host if and until the dispute is resolved. YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE’S GIFTING FEATURE IS CONDITIONAL ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO THIS CREDIT CARD DISPUTE POLICY.
15. GIFT FUNDS REDEMPTION.  End User Hosts will accrue Gift Funds within their respective Celebration Wishes account. Celebration Wishes will store and manage the Gift Funds for each End User Host until such End User Host initiates a transfer by making a request for redemption of Gift Funds. When submitting a Gift Funds redemption request to Celebration Wishes, the End User Host will indicate whether he or she wants the Gift Funds delivered via gift card, direct funds transfer (ACH) or check. The delivery time and fees associated with each Gift Funds transfer method shall be as follows:

When End User Host chooses to redeem Gift Funds, Celebration Wishes will operate as a payment transmitter. All redemptions are final upon payment to End User Host by Celebration Wishes, unless otherwise specified under Section 19.  When you are an End User Host,  you hereby authorize Celebration Wishes to credit your designated bank account or debit card account when you select ACH as your redemption method. You assume all responsibility for notifying us of changes in credit card numbers and/or expiration dates. We will handle transaction data in accordance with the Celebration Wishes Privacy Policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you use the Service through a Partner Site, you may be subject to restrictions on how you can redeem Gift Funds, including, but not limited to, the form in which Gift Funds are redeemed.

1. RETURN POLICY. In the event that a Gift Giver needs to reverse their contribution of Gift Funds for any reason, Celebration Wishes will refund the Gift Giver 100% of the Gift Funds upon receipt of the Gift Funds from the End User Host if already redeemed, or within one business day if the Gift Funds have not been redeemed by End User Host. We will not charge anything additional to process a refund, but we will not return any Fees associated with the original transaction(s). This policy does not apply to duplicate transactions and voids.

Before commencing arbitration you must first present any claim or dispute to us in writing to allow us the opportunity to resolve the dispute. If the claim or dispute is not resolved within 60 days, you may request arbitration by serving a completed Commercial Demand for Arbitration Form on us and the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“). You can contact the AAA at 800-778-7879 or www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and, when deemed appropriate by the arbitrator, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. There shall be one arbitrator who will be a licensed attorney or a former judge and will have at least 10 years of legal experience in the resolution of commercial disputes. The arbitrator shall be chosen by written mutual agreement of the parties. If, after 7 days, you and we are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the state of California, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. All face-to-face proceedings shall take place in the State of California.  Arbitration is final and binding. In making any award, the arbitrator will be restricted by the “Limitation On Liability” provision in this Agreement and will not have jurisdiction to make an award to any party to the arbitration contrary to the “Limitations on Liability” provision. You expressly agree that the rulings of the arbitrator, including any award, shall be binding, non-reviewable and non-appealable.  The party requesting arbitration must pay the applicable AAA filing fee.  Each party shall pay its own expenses of the arbitration, including the expense of its own counsel, witnesses, and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.  THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THERE SHALL BE NO JURY TRIAL OR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, OR RIGHT TO ANY OTHER PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY COURT. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE IS PERSONAL TO THEM, AND ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL ONLY BE RESOLVED BY AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. NEITHER PARTY AGREES TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATION WHERE A PERSON BRINGS A DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS. NEITHER PARTY AGREES THAT A DISPUTE CAN BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A DISPUTE MAY ONLY BE RESOLVED THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND SHALL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, A CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
