OTHER PROCESSING TERMS
You are responsible for providing accurate contact and other information about your intended Recipient through the Site, which enables us to identify suggested gifts for the Recipient. You are responsible for any costs, expenses, or losses incurred as a result of providing inaccurate Recipient information.
We will provide you with a list of suggested gifts from which you may select, or request that we provide additional suggestions. The choice of gift is at your sole discretion. We will then contact the Recipient and allow them to (1) accept the gift you have selected for them; (2) select an alternative gift of like cost; or (3) elect to forego the gift and allocate the purchase price to a tax-qualified charity of their choice. We will provide the Recipient with a list of suggested charitable organizations.
Prices listed for gifts featured on the Site include shipping, taxes and all other fees. You will only be charged for the amount listed at the time of selection. No charges will be incurred by the Recipient for accepting their gift. Once you have made a gift selection, we will process the transaction by requesting funds from your credit or debit card holder. If the vendor changes its price for the gift before we are able to process the charge or if the gift becomes unavailable, we will notify you.

REMEDIES
You agree that our remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that we shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any damages that we may be legally entitled to recover, together with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.
No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and expenses.
No instance of waiver by us of our rights or remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future or other waiver.
APPLICABLE LAW
By using the Site, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Massachusetts, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us.
DISPUTES
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, or to any products or services sold or distributed through Alyce.co will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879 FREE. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, we will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
SEVERABILITY
If any these provisions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed several and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.
