Gift Cards
You may from time to time have the ability to purchase, receive, send, receive and/or activate through us digital gift cards (each, a “Gift Card”).
We will send each Gift Card to the recipient for which the purchaser thereof has provided us with the recipient information that we require. The recipient may be the purchaser themselves or a third party. Gift Cards are redeemable only through the merchant that is selected by the Gift Card purchaser in the purchase process (the “Merchant”), and the Gift Card balance is available only through that Merchant. The Gift Card balance is not available through us. We will provide each recipient of a Gift Card with an activation code to activate the Gift Card through us, so that it may then be redeemed with the Merchant. That activation code does not expire or have fees. The Merchant’s terms and conditions also apply to both activation and redemption. We reserve the right to discontinue our gift cards product line or the gift cards of any individual Merchant(s), including, without limitation, before a recipient has either activated with us or redeemed with the Merchant an already-purchased Gift Card. If a Gift Card is discontinued after purchase by the Gift Card purchaser but before activation with us by the Gift Card recipient, we will replace the Gift Card with our choice of replacement Gift Card(s) from our choice of third party(ies), at equivalent value. We may provide the Gift Card purchaser information about their Gift Card recipient’s Gift Card activation status.
Until such time as we deposit a Gift Card with a carrier (e.g., U.S. Postal Service or Royal Mail) for delivery to the Gift Card recipient, the risk of loss of, and title to, that Gift Card belongs to us. The risk of loss of, and title to, that Gift Card then passes to the Gift Card recipient when we deposit it with a carrier for delivery to such recipient. The Gift Card recipient is responsible for safeguarding the Gift Card from unauthorized use. We are not responsible if any delivered Gift Card is lost, stolen, or destroyed, or if a Gift Card is used without permission. There are a variety of scams that request payment by gift card. We are not responsible, and assume no liability to you, for any unlawful conduct or fraud by any third party associated with any Gift Card.
By using a Gift Card, you agree to comply with these Terms and to not use a Gift Card in any manner that is misleading, deceptive, unfair, or otherwise harmful to us, our affiliates, or our customers. We reserve the right, without notice to you, to void a Gift Card without a refund, suspend or terminate customer accounts, suspend or terminate the ability to use our application(s) and/or website(s), cancel or limit orders, and bill alternative forms of payment if we suspect that a Gift Card is obtained, used or applied fraudulently, unlawfully, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.

You will pay us all fees and charges incurred in accordance with the authorized form of payment and these Terms. If you dispute any fees or charges, you will let us know within sixty (60) days after the date that we invoice or otherwise charge you, and give us the opportunity to remediate any problem which you believe entitles you to dispute those fees or charges. You hereby grant to us the right to fix any payment processing errors that we may discover, and the right to correct any such processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the transaction found to be in error.
If you have chosen to receive Products and/or Services on a subscription basis: (1) you hereby grant us the right to bill payments as specified in the Products/Services description and/or ordering process; and (2) if your payment and customer information does not remain true, accurate and current for the length of your subscription(s) and you do not notify us promptly when such information changes, we may suspend or terminate your subscription(s); and (3) you hereby acknowledge and agree that we may participate in programs supported by your card provider (e.g., expiration-date updater services) to attempt to update your payment information, and you authorize us to continue billing your account with the updated information that we obtain.
Shipping
The risk of loss of, and title to, Products passes to you or your designated shipping recipient when we deposit such Product(s) with a carrier for delivery to you or such recipient.
Returns & Refunds
We want you to be 100% satisfied with your experience with the Services and the Products.

1. Refunds are limited to amounts actually paid by you. This does not include the promotional value of any special offer or discount.
2. In cases where the return/refund is due to your order arriving damaged or with a defect confirmed by us, we will in our sole discretion either (a) provide you with a prepaid return shipping label, (b) reimburse your cost of return shipping, or (c) direct you to discard the damaged or defective product. For all other cases, return shipping costs are your responsibility. Shipping and handling charges may apply to Services and Products that are otherwise offered on a free or promotional basis.
3. All orders receiving bulk/wholesale pricing are final, and no refund will be given except in the case of material damage or defect upon your order’s arrival. If the damage or defect cannot be verified over the phone or via email contact, you may need to return the item to us for inspection before a determination can be made as to a potential refund. Please be sure to request and carefully review digital proofs when placing a bulk/wholesale order.
In addition to the above satisfaction guarantee, we also offer a limited lifetime warranty against defective workmanship on all our canvas wall décor Products, if such defective workmanship causes a canvas wall décor Product to be unusable for its intended purpose in a way that did not exist in the first thirty (30) days after you received it. To make such a warranty claim, please contact us, either via our website, via the self-service tools that may be provided in the app tray or drawer if using one of our mobile applications, or by telephone if you are using one of the Services that provides for telephone support.

Dispute Resolution (Class Action Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver and Arbitration Agreement)
PLEASE READ THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION IN COURT AND THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
For purposes of this Dispute Resolution section only, “we” or “us” refers to us and our present and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, shareholders, members, directors, managers, employees, attorneys, representatives and agents.

Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process
You and we will work together in an effort to informally resolve any Dispute. As between us, the party initiating a Dispute will send the other a personally signed, written notice of the Dispute that includes, without limitation, (a) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue, (b) the initiating party’s name, address, telephone number and email address and (c) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought, including, without limitation, a calculation for any damages or other monetary relief sought. If you have the Dispute with us, you will send such notice to Gift Shopie, 40 Fairfield Pl, West Caldwell NJ, 07006, Attn.: Copyright Agent. If we have the Dispute with you, we may send such notice to the most recent contact information we have for you.
For a period of sixty (60) days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement between you and us), you and we will each negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute. As between us, the party receiving the notice may request a telephone conference to aid in the resolution of the Dispute. If such a conference is requested, (a) you will personally participate in the conference (with your counsel, if represented), and (b) you and we will schedule such conference for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period.
You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) completion of the process set forth in the preceding two paragraphs (the “Process”) will be a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration or court, (b) if the sufficiency of a notice of and/or compliance with the Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either your or our election, and any court case or arbitration will be stayed during the pendency of such action, (c) the court determining compliance with the Process in any such action will have the authority to enforce the condition precedent to further litigation of the Dispute in court or arbitration, including, without limitation, the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations, (d) nothing in this Dispute Resolution section limits either your or our right to seek relief in court or arbitration for non-compliance with the Process, (e) all applicable limitations periods (including, without limitation, statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of the Process, and (f) you or we may commence litigation or arbitration if a Dispute is not resolved through the Process.

-
WHERE PERMISSIBLE, YOU AND WE WILL BRING DISPUTES IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, AND ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH (THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).
-
YOU AND WE EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Arbitration Agreement
IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER FROM APPLYING TO DISPUTES BROUGHT IN COURT, YOU AND WE WILL RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, SUBJECT TO THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER, RATHER THAN IN COURT. You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that, in any such arbitration, (a) the arbitrator will decide all issues except issues that (which will be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide) [1] are reserved in these Terms for a court, [2] pertain to the scope, validity, and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution section or [3] pertain to the arbitrability of a Dispute, (b) these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and you and we intend that they be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and (c) if any court or arbitrator determines that the Class Action Waiver is void or unenforceable, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis for any reason, then the arbitration agreement set forth in this Dispute Resolution section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and you and we will each be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate the Dispute.
-
Arbitration Procedures. You hereby acknowledge and agree that, in individual arbitration, there is no judge or jury and there may be less or different discovery and/or potential for appellate review than in court. You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that the National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) will administer the arbitration of any Dispute in accordance with the then-applicable NAM rules (including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable) (the “NAM Rules”), as modified by this Dispute Resolution section. The NAM Rules are available online at https://namadr.com, by calling NAM at 1-800-358-2550, and/or by written request to us at our address set forth in these Terms. If NAM is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Dispute Resolution section, you and we will agree on an administrator that will do so, provided that if you and we do not agree then you and we will jointly petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator that will do so.
As between us, the party initiating an arbitration will send the other a personally signed, written notice of the arbitration that includes, without limitation, (a) a certification under penalty of perjury of compliance with the Process, and (b) a representation that such party will comply with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) the arbitration will be before a single, neutral arbitrator, (b) you will have the right to choose to have the arbitration conducted by way of a phone, video, or written submissions, except for the arbitration of a Dispute seeking $25,000 or more and/or injunctive relief, which will have an in-person or video hearing unless you and we agree otherwise, each in our sole and absolute discretion, (c) you and we each reserve the right to request a hearing on any matter from the arbitrator, and (d) you and our company representative will each personally appear at any hearing (with your and our counsel, if represented).
You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that the arbitrator will (a) be authorized to [1] impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 on represented parties and/or their counsel, [2] re-allocate their compensation, expenses and/or administrative fees, as well as your and our legal fees and costs related to the arbitration, if they determine that a claim, defense and/or counterclaim was filed for purposes of harassment or is patently frivolous (and the arbitrator will apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award), and [3] award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including, without limitation, injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the single party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim, and (b) issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions.
You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that the arbitrator will not be authorized to (a) consolidate more than one person’s claims, and (b) preside over any form of class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of the prohibitions in this Dispute Resolution section on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated.
You and we hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, except a satisfied award may not be entered, and (b) no award will have preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party.
-
Costs of Arbitration. You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the NAM Rules and fee schedule, (b) you and we have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration and (c) you and we (and your and our counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith towards making any arbitration cost-effective for both you and us.
-
Settlement. In any arbitration, the defending party may make a written settlement offer at any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to such motion being granted. In such case, neither you nor we will disclose any settlement offer(s) to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the Dispute. If the award is issued in the defending party’s favor, or the award is issued in the prosecuting party’s favor but is less than the defending party’s settlement offer, then prosecuting party will pay the defending party’s attorneys’ fees and costs incurred after such offer was made. If any applicable law prohibits the shifting of costs incurred in the arbitration, then any settlement offer made pursuant to this provision will serve to cease the accumulation of any attorneys’ fees and/or costs to which the prosecuting party may be entitled for the cause of action under which they are claiming.
-
Additional Procedures for Mass Filings. You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that these Additional Procedures for Mass Filings (in addition to the other provisions of this Dispute Resolution section) will apply if you participate in a filing and/or prosecution of 25 or more similar Disputes (including, without limitation, yours) by the same or coordinated counsel (a “Mass Filing”). In the event of a Mass Filing (a) you hereby acknowledge and agree that [1] resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court and not in arbitration and [2] any applicable limitations periods (including, without limitation, statutes of limitations) will be tolled for your Dispute from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to NAM until your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process (as set forth below) or is settled, withdrawn, opted out of arbitration or otherwise resolved pursuant to this Dispute Resolution section, and (b) your and our counsel will meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes at issue, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the parties’ and NAM’s resource, in the Mass Filing.
STAGE ONE: If at least 50 Disputes are submitted as part of the Mass Filing, (a) counsel for the claimants and our counsel will each select 25 Disputes to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of this initial staged process, (b) you and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that [1] each of those 50 Disputes will be assigned to a different arbitrator and proceed individually, [2] if one of those 50 Disputes is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, you will have the right to select another Dispute to proceed in its place as part of Stage One, [3] if a second of those 50 Disputes is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, we will have the right to select another Dispute to proceed in its place as part of Stage One, and [4] if a third or greater number of those 50 Disputes is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, you and we will alternatingly have the right to select another Dispute to proceed in each’s withdrawn Dispute’s place as part of Stage One, and (c) you and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that the remaining Disputes will not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection therewith. After the Stage One set of proceedings concludes with awards in each, counsel for the claimants and our counsel will in good faith participate in a global mediation session with a retired federal or state court judge jointly selected by you and us, and paid by us, in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One).
STAGE TWO: If the remaining Disputes have not been resolved at the conclusion of Stage One, (a) counsel for the claimants and our counsel will each select 50 Disputes per side to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process (and if there are fewer than 100 Disputes, all will proceed individually in Stage Two), (b) you and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that [1] five (5) of those 50 Disputes will be assigned to a different arbitrator and proceed individually, [2] if one or more of those 50 Disputes is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, you and we will each have the right to select another Dispute to proceed in its place as part of Stage Two in the same process as set forth for Stage One, and (c) you and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that any remaining Disputes will not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection therewith. After the Stage Two set of proceedings concludes with awards in each, counsel for the claimants and our counsel will in good faith participate in a global mediation session with a retired federal or state court judge jointly selected by you and us, and paid by us, in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One and Stage Two).
Upon completion of the mediation set forth in Stage Two, each remaining Dispute (if any) that is neither settled nor withdrawn will be opted out of arbitration and proceed only as a sole proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms.
You and we each hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) if, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that this Additional Procedures for Mass Filings section of this Dispute Resolution section apply to your Dispute but are not enforceable, then your Dispute will not proceed in arbitration and will only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms, and (b) that this Additional Procedures for Mass Filings section of this Dispute Resolution section and each of its requirements are essential parts of these Terms.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth to the contrary herein, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and your successors and assigns hereby waive any and all rights and remedies you may have against the Company, or its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents now or in the future, and hereby release the Company, its Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, obligations, losses and expenses of whatever kind, in each case relating to your providing, posting, transmitting or making available through the Service any User Submissions to the Company, and the Company’s receiving, evaluating, and utilizing the User Submissions.
In addition, the Company may, in our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice to you, suspend or terminate your participation in any public forum or any other portion of the Service, or the subscription or registration of any user who violates any of these Terms of Use, any of the rules, regulations or guidelines, or for any other behavior that we in our sole discretion believe is in breach of these Terms of Use.

Notice for New Jersey Residents
Under the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice ACT (“TCCWNA”), N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq., consumers may not be offered any written contract that includes any provision that violates any clearly established legal right of a consumer, or responsibility of a seller, as established by state or federal law. Consequently, and for the avoidance of doubt, no provision in these Terms of Use shall apply to any consumer in New Jersey if the provision violates any such clearly established legal right or responsibility, including, but not limited to, grounds for redress under or in the event of: (i) seller’s tortious actions (e.g., negligence, failure to exercise a basic standard of care, failure to avoid creating an unreasonable risk of harm); (ii) the New Jersey Products Liability Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1, et seq. (i.e., the statutorily imposed duty to refrain from manufacturing and selling dangerous products, with the possibility of punitive damages for violations thereof); (iii) the New Jersey Punitive Damages Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.9, et seq. (i.e., the statutory right to pursue punitive damages in the event of harm caused by actual malice, wanton and willful disregard, reckless indifference); (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code (i.e., a comprehensive statutory regime governing the rights and duties of buyers and sellers with respect to contracts for the sale of goods, with the possibility of damages for economic and property harm); and (v) seller’s failure to reasonably protect against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (e.g., computer hacking and identity theft, as regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, and as governed by the New Jersey Identity Theft Protection Act, N.J.S.A.56:8-161, et seq., and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-3, et seq.). In addition, under the TCCWNA, no consumer contract may state that any of its provisions is or may be void, unenforceable or inapplicable in some jurisdictions without specifying which provisions are or are not void, unenforceable or inapplicable in New Jersey. With respect to these Terms of Use, in the section on Limitations of Liability, the provision concerning the exclusion or limitation of certain damages is not applicable in New Jersey with respect to punitive damages, loss of data, and loss of or damage to property.
