Not all products are available by default (e.g., access to monetary Redemption Options) and Client must instead request access thereto. Any fees applicable to such products will be disclosed at the time Giftock grants Client access thereto.
Eligibility. Only business and governmental entities are eligible to apply for a Giftock Account and use the Services. Client must be in good standing in the state in which you are organized. You are solely responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that are applicable to your business and your use of Giftock products, including consumer privacy laws and data security laws.

Supported Jurisdictions. While Giftock offers the Services throughout the world, it does not operate in all jurisdictions. Here is a list of jurisdictions we do not serve. We reserve the right to reject your request to create a Giftock Account in the event you are located (or primarily operate) in a jurisdiction we do not serve. It is your responsibility to know where your Recipients are located and whether they will be able to use the Service and choose a valid Redemption Option in the jurisdiction in which such Recipient is located. We disclaim all responsibility for a Recipient’s inability to use or redeem a Payout in a jurisdiction we do not serve.
Orders. When submitting an Order, Client will specify the type of Payout, amount of each Payout, Recipient contact information (if applicable), available Redemption Options, any additional services, and applicable pricing. Orders may be submitted using the Giftock Account, the Site, or in a manner otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
Additional Services. Giftock may offer Client additional services, which are listed on the Giftock Account page. Such additional services may be offered by Giftock or a third-party vendor and may be subject to additional terms and conditions (which will be disclosed at the time of selection). ANY ADDITIONAL SERVICE IS OFFERED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.
Cooperation by Client. Client acknowledges that the successful and timely rendering of the Services to be provided hereunder will require the good faith cooperation of Client. Accordingly, Client will fully cooperate with Giftock, including by providing Giftock with all information necessary or appropriate to Giftock’ performance of the Services, as reasonably requested by Giftock.
Failure to Cooperate. Client acknowledges and agrees that Giftock will not be liable for a failure to perform or delay in the performance of any Services or any other obligation under this Agreement if such failure or delay is caused by Client failing to timely perform its obligations hereunder or to provide Giftock with the requisite information or cooperation with respect to its performance of such Services or obligations.
Access. To access the Services, Client must have the necessary equipment and associated telecommunication services to access the internet. The Services can be accessed directly using the Site. The availability of the Services may be affected by: (i) telecommunication network activity or capacity; (ii) hardware failures; and/or (iii) compatibility with third-party communication equipment, internet access software and/or browsers. THOUGH PINGAZE STRIVES TO PROVIDE CONSISTENT SERVICE AND ACCESS, PINGAZE DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE SITE OR THE SERVICES SATISFY ALL OF CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Updates. Giftock may make Updates to the Site or the Services from time to time, in its sole discretion and without notice to Client, provided that no such Updates will materially, adversely impact the availability of the Site, the Services, or any Redemption Options. If Giftock determines that any Update will materially, adversely impact the availability of the Site, the Services, or any applicable Redemption Options, it will provide Client with at least five (5) days’ written notice of such Update or, in the event such Update is required pursuant to a Regulatory Determination or otherwise required by a Provider, Giftock will notify Client as promptly as practicable, whichever period is shorter. Such notice will be provided by email (to the address associated with the Giftock Account) and/or through the Giftock Account dashboard.

PINGAZE ACCOUNT.

Giftock Account. In order to access the Site and use the Services, Client will provide Giftock with all information we require to create a Giftock Account for you. Client hereby permits Giftock to keep a record of such information and to share such information with the Bank and other service providers, in accordance with the Giftock Privacy Policy.

OFAC Screening and Sanctions. Giftock complies with the economic sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC“). As part of the identity verification process, Giftock will check your information against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List“) and ensure that you are not operating in a jurisdiction subject to sanctions. Giftock will periodically check the information you provide to us, including Recipient’s information, against the SDN List to comply with our obligations under federal law. Giftock is not responsible for any losses, whether direct or indirect, that you may incur as a result of our compliance with applicable law, the guidance or direction of any Governmental Authority, or any writ of attachment, lien, levy, subpoena, warrant or other legal order.
Receipt of Information from Third Parties. You authorize Giftock to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud or other financial crime, and to take action we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that information you have provided to us may be disclosed to credit reference and fraud prevention or financial crime agencies and that these agencies may respond to our inquiries in full.
Complete and Accurate Information. In providing Giftock with this or any other information that may be required, Client confirms that the information is accurate and authentic. You agree to keep Giftock updated if any of the information you provide to us changes.
Enhanced Due Diligence. Giftock may, in its sole discretion, determine additional information is required or is otherwise prudent to obtain from you. Client agrees to provide all additional information the Giftock requests without undue delay. If Client refuses to provide the requested information in a timely manner, Giftock may, in its sole discretion: (i) not create a Giftock Account, (ii) suspend access to a current Giftock Account, or (iii) terminate a current Giftock Account.

Authorized Users. Client may authorize certain of its trusted officers, employees, and representatives to access its Giftock Account (each, an “Authorized User”). Giftock is not responsible for authenticating the identity of any Authorized User. Client is fully responsible for all activity that occurs on its Giftock Account. Client is responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all credentials associated with the Giftock Account. Any loss or compromise of such information may result in unauthorized access to the Giftock Account by third parties and the unauthorized distribution of Payouts, and loss of information. If Client believes its Giftock Account or any credentials or other information associated therewith has been compromised, Client must immediately contact Giftock Customer Support at support@giftock.com. Client remains responsible for all activity, including Orders, that takes place on its Giftock Account until you notify Giftock of the known or suspected breach and we have the opportunity to respond and secure the Giftock Account.
Giftock Account Access. Giftock may, in its sole discretion, deny or limit access of any Authorized User to the Giftock Account or suspend the Giftock Account. In the event Giftock denies, limits, or suspends access to a Giftock Account, it will promptly notify Client of such action and the reasons therefor. Giftock may rely on Client’s investigation and determination in its decision to reinstate access to one or more Authorized Users or to the Giftock Account.
Dashboard Functionality. Through its Giftock Account, Client and its Authorized Users may (i) submit Orders; (ii) review prior Orders; (iii) view the Balance; and (iv) transfer funds to or from the Balance.

USE OF SITE AND SERVICES.

Access. Client may access and use the Services through the Site and your Giftock Account.
Restrictions on Use and Access. When using the Site, Client will (and will ensure Authorized Users will):

only use the Site to engage with the Services;
not distribute, sell, lease, rent, lend, transfer, assign, or sublicense any rights granted herein to a third party;
not use or access the Site or the Service in order to monitor the availability, performance, or functionality of the Site, the Service or any portion thereof or for any similar benchmarking purposes;
not remove or destroy any copyright notices, proprietary markings or confidentiality notices placed upon, contained within or associated with the Site;
not engage in any activity that interferes with, disrupts, harms, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the servers, security, networks, data, applications or other properties or services of Giftock or any third party;
not circumvent technological measures intended to prevent direct database access, or manufacture tools or products to that effect;
not modify, translate, reverse engineer, disassemble, reconstruct, decompile, copy, or create derivative works of the Site, Client Materials, Usage Data, the Services, or any aspect or portion thereof, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by Applicable Law;
not bypass Site restrictions for any reason;
not access or use the Site to develop or distribute Payouts or use the Services in any way in furtherance of criminal, fraudulent, or other unlawful activity; and
not attempt to tamper, hack, modify or otherwise corrupt the security or functionality of the Site or the Services.

FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Generally. Client will pay Giftock the Face Value of all Payouts sent using its Giftock Account, plus any additional fees as set forth on the Pricing Page or directly to Client. The total purchase price of each Order is presented to you at the time you submit an Order. If you place such Order after reviewing the purchase price, Client will have no right to dispute any charges or fees associated therewith, as Client has the opportunity to review and dispute any proposed charges prior to purchase. If Client believes the total purchase price reflected at the time you attempt to place an Order is incorrect, you may contact support@giftock.com or use the Giftock chat feature in your Giftock Account.
Prefunding a Balance. Prior to sending any Payouts, Client may transfer funds to a bank account at a federally-insured depository institution (the “Bank”) as may be designated by Giftock from time to time (such funds, the “Balance”). The Balance will be held in a pooled account owned by the Bank and held for the benefit of Giftock clients, including Client. Giftock maintains the books and records associated with each Balance on the Bank’s behalf. The Balance will be displayed on the Giftock Account’s dashboard and each Payout sent by Client will be reflected as a debit to the Balance.

Funding the Balance. To fund the Balance, Client will log into its Giftock Account and: (i) link one or more of its corporate bank accounts to its Giftock Account (each, a “Designated Account”), (ii) request transfer instructions from Giftock, or (iii) make a payment by corporate credit card. Note that any credit card transactions are subject to an additional 3% processing fee. Client may add or remove a Designated Account from its Giftock Account at any time. Once Giftock confirms receipt of the relevant funds, the Balance will be updated in the Giftock Account. This may take up to three (3) Business Days, depending on the method of transfer. The Client may purchase Payouts (inclusive of applicable fees or discounts/rebates) up to the value of the Balance.
Recalling Funds from the Balance. Client may request some or all of its Balance be returned to a Designated Account. Client can request such funds transfer by logging into its Giftock Account and requesting that Giftock transfer a specific amount from the Balance. Giftock will direct the funds be transferred to the Designated Account within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of the request. It may take up to three (3) Business Days from Giftock’ direction to the Bank for the requested funds to settle in the Designated Account. If Client does not have a Designated Account, it can provide transfer instructions to Giftock via its Giftock Account and Giftock will direct the funds to be transferred to the requested bank account within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of such request; it may take up to an additional three (3) Business Days until funds are received into the requested bank account.
Abandoned Balance. If Client terminates the Giftock Account while a Balance remains associated therewith, if Client does not instruct Giftock on where to send such funds, Giftock may deem the funds in the Balance abandoned by you and deliver them to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Prior to doing so, Giftock will attempt to notify you and request transfer instructions.

Payment at Time of Sale. Client may use a Designated Account or other payment method as may be accepted by Giftock from time to time (e.g., corporate credit card or ACH payment) to pay the full amount due for any one Order at the time Client desires to purchase such Payouts. Giftock will provide the total amount due, inclusive of applicable fees and charges, to Client at the time Client desires to finalize a purchase of Payouts. Note that any credit card transactions are subject to an additional 3% processing fee. If Client accepts the total amount due, Client must enter payment information at “check-out.” Upon confirmation of payment, Giftock will send the Payouts as contemplated by Client (i.e., to designated Recipients or to Client as Payout Links).
ACH Authorization. By linking a Designated Account to your Giftock Account, Client: (i) authorizes Giftock to electronically debit (and, if necessary, initiate credit entries to correct erroneous debits) such Designated Account from time to time; (ii) will not request transfers that would violate U.S. laws or NACHA Rules; (iii) will comply with the NACHA Rules; and (iv) authorize Giftock (or its designee) to audit your compliance with this Agreement and the NACHA Rules (with respect to your use of the Designated Account). Giftock reserves the right to impose limits on your use of the Designated Account, including volume and transaction limits. In the event Giftock imposes such limits, we will notify you of the limits and the reasons therefor. Giftock may suspend your Giftock Account or reject a Designated Account if we reasonably believe you have violated this Agreement or the NACHA Rules.
Taxes. Unless specifically stated otherwise, Giftock does not calculate any taxes that you may owe. Client has sole responsibility and liability for:

determining which, if any, taxes or fees may apply in connection with your use of the Services; and
assessing, collecting, reporting and remitting applicable taxes for your business.

PAYOUTS. Giftock offers a variety of Payout options, each described below. You can place an Order for any of the below through your Giftock Account. Applicable pricing is set forth Pricing Page and, unless you are using the Giftock API (subject to the Giftock API License and Terms), you must consent to the full purchase price for each Order at the time of purchase.

Payouts, generally. Client may purchase and send Payouts via the Giftock Account. Subject to the terms set forth herein, Client may purchase an unlimited number of Payouts from Giftock and direct Giftock to send Payouts to Recipients via email or SMS text message. For each Payout, Client must specify the (i) value and (ii) Recipient. Client is solely responsible for providing Giftock with accurate and complete contact information for each Recipient.

Transmission Errors. If Giftock receives notice of non-delivery of a Payout (e.g., email bounce-back), Giftock will notify Client and allow Client the opportunity to revise such Recipient’s contact information. If Client becomes aware of an error in a Recipient’s contact information or other Payout distribution issue, Giftock will provide reasonable assistance in attempting to correct the error or such other distribution issue upon notice from Client. For the avoidance of doubt, Giftock is not responsible for any loss resulting from Client’s provision of incorrect or inaccurate contact or disbursement information.

Payout Links. Client may request that Giftock generate one or more Payout Links in a specific amount. Access to and purchase of Payout Links is subject to Giftock’ consent and is not automatically authorized upon the creation of a Giftock Account. Upon submission of an Order, Giftock will provide Payout Links to Client. Client is responsible for sending each Payout Link directly to the Recipient. Each Payout Link can only be sent once, to a single Recipient. Once a Payout Link is generated and sent to Client, per Client’s request, all risk of loss related to such Payout Link passes to Client.

Transmission Errors. If Client sends a Payout Link to the incorrect Recipient or receives notice of non-delivery of a Payout Link (e.g., email bounce-back), it must notify Giftock and provide the full Payout Link address(es) of each affected Payout Link. Giftock will provide reasonable assistance to Client to cancel and/or transfer the applicable Payout Link to the intended Recipient, provided, however, that Giftock is not responsible for any lost or misdirected Payout Links (or the Payouts associated therewith) once delivered to Client.

Bulk Prepaid Cards. Client may choose to purchase physical Prepaid Cards in bulk from Giftock. For the avoidance of doubt, Client’s purchase of physical Prepaid Cards is not a Redemption Option under this Agreement. Prepaid Cards are subject to separate and additional terms and conditions, which will be applicable to Client upon the shipment thereto. Client is responsible for the distribution, storage, and protection of any physical Prepaid Cards it purchases from or through Giftock. The risk of loss of physical Prepaid Cards purchased by Client passes to Client once such Prepaid Cards are shipped by the applicable Provider. Giftock disclaims all liability for any loss of physical Prepaid Cards due to carrier issues, theft, or similar reason, provided that such loss is not due to Giftock’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Giftock will, in its sole discretion, determine the appropriate Prepaid Card to provide to Client. In making its determination, Giftock relies on information you provide with respect to the type of Recipient and the relevant use case.
Direct-Shipped Prepaid Cards. Client may purchase physical Prepaid Cards from Giftock and direct Giftock to distribute such physical Prepaid Cards to Recipients. Client may submit a list of Recipients and their complete physical address (only U.S. addresses will be accepted) via the Giftock Account or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Client’s purchase of physical Prepaid Cards and Giftock’ distribution thereof is not a Redemption Option hereunder. Prepaid Cards are subject to separate and additional terms and conditions, which will be applicable to Recipient’s use thereof upon the shipment thereto. The risk of loss of physical Prepaid Cards purchased by Client passes to Recipient once such Prepaid Cards are shipped by the applicable Provider. Giftock disclaims all liability for any loss of physical Prepaid Cards due to carrier issues, theft, or similar reason, provided that such loss is not due to Giftock’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Order and Payout Limits. At no time will Client send Payouts totaling $10,000 or more to any one Recipient in a single day. No Payout may have a value of more than $2,000. Giftock may impose or modify Order limits, either for individual Payouts, one or more Redemption Options, or for the Giftock Account, generally, at any time in its sole discretion. If Giftock imposes or changes a limit on the Giftock Account, it will promptly notify you of such limit and the reason(s) therefor.

REDEMPTION OPTIONS. Client may select which Redemption Options it desires to provide to Recipients by specifying its choices at the time it places the Order. Giftock will follow the Recipient’s instructions with respect to his or her choice of Redemption Option. Giftock may update or make additional Redemption Option(s) available throughout the Term. Any new or amended Redemption Options will be reflected at the time of Client’s next Order.

Digital Prepaid Card. Recipients may choose to redeem their Payout by receiving a digital Visa or Mastercard Prepaid Card. Each Prepaid Card is issued by a bank and subject to additional terms and conditions, which are disclosed to the Recipient at the time of redemption. Digital Prepaid Cards are delivered to Recipients electronically via email at an email address specified by the Recipient at the time of redemption.
Digital Gift Card. Recipients may choose to redeem their Payout by receiving a digital Gift Card, which is issued by a Provider. Gift Cards are subject to additional terms and conditions, which are disclosed to the Recipient at the time of redemption. Digital Gift Cards are delivered to Recipients electronically via email at an email address specified by the Recipient at the time of redemption. Client may pre-select specific Gift Cards or collections of Gift Cards that will be available to Recipients or may allow Recipients to choose from all options available on the Site.
Physical Prepaid Card. Recipients may choose to redeem their Payout by receiving a physical Prepaid Card, which will be mailed to the physical address specified by the Recipient in his or her redemption instructions. Each physical Prepaid Card is issued by a bank and is subject to third-party terms and conditions, which will be disclosed to Recipient at the time of redemption. This Redemption Option is only available to Recipients based in the United States. Client may be responsible for additional fees if it includes a physical Prepaid Card Redemption Option.
Monetary Options. Upon approval by Giftock, Client may offer Recipients the option to redeem their Payout electronically via PayPal, Venmo or ACH transfer. In each instance, Recipient will specify his or her relevant account information, subject to third-party verification. Upon receipt of such instructions from Recipient, Giftock will instruct the Bank to transfer the full value of the Payout to the designated account. The inclusion of a monetary Redemption Option in an Order subjects such Order to additional fees.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS.

Bulk or Direct-Shipped Physical Prepaid Cards. Client may cancel its order of physical Prepaid Cards to be delivered either (a) to Client or (b) to Recipients, per Client’s instructions to Giftock until the earlier of (i) the shipment date or (ii) seven (7) days after submitting the Order.
Payouts, generally. Client may cancel a Payout until the earlier of (i) seven (7) days after submitting an Order or (ii) Recipient’s redemption of the Payout. After such period, Payouts are cancellable, refundable, transferrable, and exchangeable at Giftock’ sole discretion. If Client has made a typographical error in its instructions, either to Giftock or directly (if using Payout Links), Client will promptly notify Giftock of the error and Giftock will endeavor to transfer the Payout to the correct Recipient, it being understood that Giftock has no obligation to cancel, refund, redirect or transfer such Payout. If the Payout has already been redeemed or if Giftock is unable to cancel or redirect the Payout, Client remains responsible for the payment therefor, provided that the initial misdirection of the Payout was not due to Giftock’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If Giftock determines that Client is misusing, abusing or otherwise exercising its right to cancel Payouts in a manner that is inconsistent with the spirit of this Agreement, Giftock may, in its sole discretion, cease or amend the cancellation period for Client. In such event, Giftock will notify Client of the change and the reasons therefor.
Unredeemed Payouts. All right, title and ownership of a Payout pass to the Recipient once such Payout is sent to the Recipient. To the extent that Client fails to send a Payout Link, Client hereby assigns and agrees to transfer the entire value of the Payout Link to Giftock five (5) years after the purchase thereof. Client acknowledges and agrees that unredeemed Payouts, including Payout Links, may be subject to fees if not redeemed within three (3) months of the creation thereof and Client hereby authorizes Giftock (either directly, on behalf of the Bank, or through its agent or designee) to debit the applicable fees from the associated pooled deposit account in which the value of unredeemed Payouts is held. No further fees will be imposed if the value of the Payout reaches zero. Such fees may be refunded, in Giftock’ sole discretion, if and when a Recipient redeems the Payout.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Client represents, warrants and covenants that, as of the Effective Date, and continuing throughout the Term:

It is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the country, province, or state in which it is incorporated, and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where the failure to be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Giftock, in our sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your access to or use of your Giftock Account and/or the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, if we receive a facially valid subpoena, court order or other binding order from a government authority requiring us to do so or if we believe you have violated this Agreement, in letter or in spirit. Giftock may also, in our sole discretion, discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without prior written notice to Client. If such discontinuation has a material impact on Client’s use of the Service or any specific Order, Giftock will contact Client directly to reach a reasonable compromise, which may include a refund.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Giftock will not be obligated to provide any additional Services, and Client will pay Giftock for all fees related to Services performed but not yet paid through the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement will not impact the rights of Recipients with respect to Payouts distributed prior to the date of termination.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration. The parties will use their commercial best efforts to resolve any dispute arising hereunder without formal litigation or arbitration. If a dispute or claim arises out of or related to this Agreement, or the interpretation, making, performance, breach, validity or termination hereof, and the parties do not resolve some or all of the dispute or claim through normal internal discussions, then such dispute or claim will be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, New York, under the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) by one or more neutral arbitrators appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules. At the request of either Party, the arbitrator(s) will enter an appropriate protective order to maintain the confidentiality of information produced or exchanged in the course of the arbitration proceedings. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator(s) may also award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator(s), its reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with any arbitration or related judicial proceeding hereunder. Costs and fees awarded may include American Arbitration Association administrative fees, arbitrator fees, attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert fees, witness fees, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses (including such expenses as copying, postage, and courier fees).
Confidentiality of Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution proceeds contemplated herein will be as confidential and private as permitted by Applicable Law. To that end, the parties will not disclose the existence, content, or results of any mediation, arbitration or other proceedings conducted in accordance with this Agreement, and material submitted in connection with such proceedings will not be admissible in any other proceeding; provided, however, that this confidentiality provision will not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, and will not bar other disclosures required by Applicable Law.
Class Waiver. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither Party is entitled to arbitration.
No Jury Trial. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each Party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Giftock will notify Client of any change to applicable fees, charges, discounts and rebates at least five (5) days prior to such change or as much notice is provided to Giftock by the applicable third party, whichever is shorter.

This Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their permitted assigns.
No Third Party Beneficiaries. Save for the Giftock Group, Client or anyone accessing the Services pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise provided herein, no person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement will have any right to enforce any term hereof, regardless of whether such person or entity has been identified by name, as a member of a class or as answering a particular description.

Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to make either Party partners, joint venturers, principals, agents, or employees of the other. No officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate, or contractor retained by Giftock to perform work on behalf of Client hereunder will be deemed to be an employee, agent, or contractor of Client. Neither Party will have any right, power, or authority, express or implied, to bind the other.
Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder or in connection with this Agreement, including any action in tort, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law or conflicts of laws provisions or principles which may direct the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Press Releases and Inquiries. All media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by a Party relating to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof including promotional and marketing material (but not including announcements intended solely for internal distribution or disclosures to the extent required to meet legal or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing Party) will be coordinated with and approved by the other Party prior to release, except that Giftock may identify Client as a customer on the Site without further approval.

Legally Obligated Disclosures. If Client determines that disclosure is required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, it will promptly inform Giftock and coordinate such disclosure with Giftock. Client will limit disclosure to that which is necessary and will give due consideration to comments Giftock or its counsel may provide regarding the nature of the disclosure.

Severability. In the event that any part of this Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed to have been omitted from this Agreement. The remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and will be modified to any extent necessary to give such force and effect to the remaining provisions, but only to such extent.
Survival. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
