Terms of Service

Welcome to HipChip.com! These Terms of Service (Terms) contain important information regarding your rights, obligations and restrictions in connection with your use of our website at www.hipchip.com (Website) and/or use our applications and services (collectively, Services). As used in these Terms, the terms "HipChip", "we", "us", "our" and the like refer to HipChip, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the terms "you", "your" and the like refer to you, the end-user of our Website and Services. These Terms apply to all HipChip applications and services used by you whether your use is on a computer, mobile device, tablet or other platform.

THESE TERMS ARE A BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND HIPCHIP. BY ACCESSING, VISITING OR USING THE WEBSITE YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT WITH HIPCHIP. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE OUR WEBSITE OR SERVICES.

OUR SERVICES

We may from time to time add, change or discontinue any products or services that comprise our Services. We reserve the right to do so at any time, in our sole discretion. Some changes in Services will also be accompanied to changes to these Terms. In addition, some services we may offer may be subject to additional terms and conditions that we may publish from time to time. Your use of any such services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Gift Transactions

To use the Services to initiate a gift transaction (Gift), as the organizer of Gift (Organizer), you will be required to take certain steps. These steps will include, without limitation, the following: (i) register an account with HipChip (see Registration below), (ii) select the Gift item you would like to purchase from the list of available items, (iii) provide the names and email addresses of your friends and others that you would like to participate as contributors (each, a Contributor) and the recommended amount of each contribution, and (iv) provide the name and email address for the Gift recipient(s) (each, a Recipient), and (v) check out and make payment via our on the Website for your portion of the Gift amount.

Once a Gift has been created, we will contact all of the Contributors for that Gift to inform them that they have been invited to participate in the Gift as set up by the Organizer. Each Contributor will then be given the opportunity to pay for their suggested contribution amount. Participating as a Contributor is completely voluntary. We are not responsible for any failure to participate for the full recommended amount or at all. We will make reasonable attempts to contact each Contributor but if a Contributor fails to act or otherwise respond, the Contributor will be excluded from contributing to the Gift. Please note that if the total actual contribution for a Gift is less than the minimum amount required for the Gift, then the Gift will not be issued and the Organizer will be notified and can choose to change or cancel the gift. If the gift is canceled, the contributions will be refunded. Each Contributor who participates in a Gift agrees that we may use their email address or other contact information provided by the Organizer to contact them for promotional or Service-related purposes.

When all of the requirements for making the contributions have been met, we will complete the transaction and deliver the Gift. Once a payment has been processed, that transaction is final. There is no right to any returns, refunds and cancellations of any transactions.

The purchase and receipt of a Gift provides only a right to redeem the Gift with the Merchant, in accordance with the terms for such Gift set by such Merchant. All Gifts must be redeemed with that particular Merchant. The Merchants are the issuers of the Gifts and the sellers of the products or services for which Gifts can be redeemed. We are not responsible for any problems any person may experience in redeeming any Gift with a Merchant, or with respect to any products or services that MAY be purchased from a Merchant using the Gift or otherwise. We are not responsible for any Merchant's failure to honor any Gift, including any failure that results from any bankruptcy or insolvency of any Merchant. Each Organizer, Contributor and Recipient hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the HipChip Indemnitees (as defined below) from any claim or damage that any such person may have arising from any Gift or any products or services that such person may purchase, or attempt to purchase, using such Gift.

Compliance with Laws

Gift Organizers, Contributors and Recipients may be subject to laws, regulations, ethical policies, codes of conduct and other similar legal and contractual obligations and rules that may restrict and limit the type and value of gifts or other benefits or perquisites that such persons may receive. We are not responsible, and will not be held liable, for any violation that may occur as a result of a Gift using the Services. It is the responsibility of the Organizers, Contributors and Recipients to verify such information and laws, rules and regulations for each Gift and to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.

Mistakes

While we hope this does not happen often or ever, it is also possible that a mistake, inaccuracy or omission (each, a mistake) on our Website or Services occurs from time to time, where the Gift product is not completely or correctly described or is incorrectly processed. We will use our reasonable efforts to correct a mistake as soon as practicable after we discover it or it is brought to our attention. We also reserve the right at any time to correct any mistake, and change the prices, content, promotion offers, product descriptions or specifications, or other information without obligation to issue any notice of such changes (including after Gift has already been processed, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law). We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause you. You expressly acknowledge this limitation of liability and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the HipChip Indemnitees (as defined below) from any claim or damage that you or any other person may have arising from any such mistake.
