   5. Unless otherwise described on the Site or on promotional material related to the product or service at the time of purchase, the following Disclosure Concerning Tax Deductibility of Purchase shall apply to all gift card purchases made through this Site:

   Disclosure Concerning Tax Deductibility of Purchase

   NEITHER CHARITY ON TOP, PBC NOR CHARITY ON TOP FOUNDATION, INC. make any warranty, guarantee, promise, or affirmative representation concerning the tax deductibility of any gift card purchase made on this Site or elsewhere. We hereby disclaim any responsibility to ensure the tax deductibility of your Card Value contribution.

   Please consult your independent legal counsel and/or tax advisor to gain advice concerning whether your purchase on our Site will constitute a tax-deductible charitable contribution.

   The amount of the Card Value purchased is contributed to Charity on Top Foundation, Inc., a California nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The amount of the Card Value may be tax deductible for you (the "Purchaser"). The card recipient ("Recipient") may direct up to 96.25% of the Card Value to a qualified third-party charity.

   To be eligible for a tax deduction in the amount of the Card Value, the Purchaser must not derive any personal benefit from the charity to which the Purchaser or Recipient ultimately contributes the Card Value or any portion thereof. Furthermore, if the Purchaser is an officer, director, or control person associated with the charitable recipient of the Card Value, the Card Value contribution may not be tax deductible or may not be considered public support for the charitable recipient.

   By making your purchase, you hereby covenant, guarantee, and agree that you will neither seek nor receive any personal benefit from any charitable recipient of the Card Value, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless both Charity on Top, PBC, and Charity on Top Foundation, Inc. from any tax or other liability, penalties, expenses, costs, or damages that you or either entity may incur as a consequence of your receipt of any such personal benefit. The foregoing shall in no way diminish the indemnification to which either entity is entitled pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.

   By making your purchase, you hereby acknowledge that, if your purchase of the Card Value is tax deductible, you will seek your tax deduction receipt from Charity on Top Foundation, Inc. only, and not from any third-party charitable recipient of the Card Value. You furthermore acknowledge that, if your purchase of the Card Value is tax deductible, your purchase will be deductible only once even if you direct a portion of the Card Value to be transferred to a qualified third-party charity.

   Your tax-deductible receipt is emailed to you immediately upon purchase and a copy can be requested of it at any time by emailing us at inquire / charityontop, com. If you establish an account at charityontop.org, you may download your tax deduction receipt(s) at any time through your account login.

   1. We will arrange for shipment of the products to you. Please check the purchase order page for specific delivery options.

Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order.
   2. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.

10. Force Majeure. We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in our performance under these Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Site is operated from the US. All matters arising out of or relating to these Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.

12. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration.

    1. YOU, CHARITY ON TOP FOUNDATION, INC., AND CHARITY ON TOP, PBC ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

       ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

    2. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section 12. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

       The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

       If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

    3. You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention do so within 30 days of your purchase. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

    4. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR CHARITY ON TOP, PBC WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

       If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

13. Assignment. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 13 is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

14. No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Charity on Top, PBC.

15. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you.

16. Notices.

    1. To You. We may provide any notice to you under these Terms by: (i) sending a message to the email address you provide or (ii) by posting to the Site. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current.

    2. To Us. To give us notice under these Terms, you must contact us as follows by personal delivery, overnight courier or registered or certified mail to Charity On Top, 117 E. Colorado Blvd., #200 Pasadena, CA 91105. We may update the address for notices to us by posting a notice on the Site. Notices provided by personal delivery will be effective immediately. Notices provided by overnight courier will be effective one business day after they are sent. Notices provided by registered or certified mail will be effective three business days after they are sent.

17. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms.

18. Entire Agreement. Our order confirmation, these Terms, our Website Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy will be deemed the final and integrated agreement between you and us on the matters contained in these Terms.
