These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) apply to the purchase and sale of products and services through www.thegiftarchitect.com (the “Site”). These Terms are subject to change by The Gift Architect (referred to as "Company," “us”, “we”, or “our” as the context may require) without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date” referenced on the Site. You should review these Terms prior to purchasing any product or services that are available through this Site. Your continued use of this Site after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

You should also carefully review our Privacy Policy before placing an order for products or services through this Site.

2. Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. Further, we cannot guarantee the stock of any products listed on the Site, and we may choose not to accept an order based on the unavailability of the product.

3. Prices and Payment Terms.
(a) All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges, including shipping charges, will be added to your merchandise total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We do not charge shipping costs for single orders totaling at least $150. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

(b) Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept credit card, debit card, Stripe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay for all purchases. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card or other payment information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card or other payment method for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card or other payment company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order. We reserve the right to charge additional fees in the event that your payment results in any chargeback or any other bank fees.

(c) Discount. Company offers customers a discount whereby the customer receives a twenty-percent (20%) discount from the total price (excluding taxes and shipping charges) of the customer's first order with Company. This offer is valid one time per customer and does not contain an expiration date. This offer cannot be combined with any other offer. You agree to be bound by any and all other conditions or requirements that Company may specify with respect to the discount offer in order to receive such offer. Company may offer other similar discounts or promotions in the future. You agree to be bound by any and all conditions or requirements that Company may specify with respect to future discounts or promotions in order to receive such discount or promotional offers.

4. Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss.
(a) We will arrange for shipment of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. With the exception of orders totaling over $150, you will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order.

(b) Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Once delivered to our carrier, we shall have no responsibility for any loss of, damage to, or theft of any products. We use United Parcel Service (UPS) as our carrier. We strive to place products with our carrier within 1-3 days following your order. In the event that you purchase next-day shipping, we strive to ensure next-day shipping if your order is placed before 2:00 PM (Eastern Time Zone). Shipping and delivery dates, however, are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in shipping delays. We are not liable for any delays in shipments. In the event of theft of products purchased from us, you should contact the carrier or the appropriate law enforcement entity.

(c) Because we do hope that our customers love the gifts they order, in the event that a product ordered from the Site is damaged prior to its arrival at the shipping address (and you are in no way responsible for the damage), we encourage you to take the following steps: (i) take photographic evidence of the damage and (ii) send an email within 24 hours of delivery to info@thegiftarchitect.com with the photographs and a description of the damage. We will strive to respond to your email within 2 business days to present options for resolving the issue.
5. Returns and Refunds. All sales on the Site are final. With the exception of situations described in Section 4(c), we do not offer any refunds for products that are purchased by you.

In the event that a product is returned to us as undeliverable, we will reach out to you to request a different address for reshipment of the product. We will charge a $20 reshipping fee in the event that the product is reshipped. In the event that we cannot reach you, you do not respond within 3 business days to our request for a different address, or you no longer want the undelivered product, no refunds will be available.
