Ordering Products and Services

You must be 18 years or older, and have a valid credit card, with full authority to use it, to submit an order for products or services through any of our Sites.

Prices; Colors; Availability

All prices listed on the Sites are subject to change. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or product information received from our suppliers, we shall have the right, prior to the acceptance of your order pursuant to our Order Acceptance Policy described below, to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
Please note that the colors of items and products may depend on your monitor and may not be correctly displayed.
The availability of products and other items on each of the Sites may change at any time, without notice.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until we send you shipping information for the order (or the accepted portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either (a) we will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card has already been charged for the order) or (b) we will not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided.

Payment Terms

For each product or service you order on any of the Sites, you agree to pay the price applicable for the product or service (including any sales taxes, surcharges and any delivery fees for the delivery service you select) as of the time you submitted the order. Unless you and Promise Chocolates have agreed to an alternate billing arrangement in writing signed by Promise Chocolates will automatically bill your credit card submitted as part of the order process for such price. All prices are non-refundable. Without limiting other remedies, we reserve the right to charge a late fee on all past due payments equivalent to the lesser of one and a half percent (3%) per month on the unpaid balance or the highest rate allowed by law. You will pay for all collection costs, attorneys fees, and court costs incurred in the collection of past due amounts.

Sales Taxes

Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the Products.

We shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable sales tax for orders from www.promisechocolates.com to be delivered to addresses within the sate of Arizona.
Each customer shall be solely responsible for all sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges (except for taxes on Provide Commerce’s net income), on orders shipped to any other state or on orders shipped outside the United States.

We do not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

For Oklahoma purchasers, the tax may be reported and paid on the Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1]. The referenced forms and corresponding instructions are available on the Oklahoma Tax Commission website, www.tax.ok.gov.

Specials, Promotions and Sweepstakes/Contests

Please read the official rules that accompany each special offer, coupon, discount, contest and sweepstakes that we may offer or conduct. Special offers, coupons, or discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other offers. Limit one promotion per order.

Shipping and Delivery

Promise Chocolates, in conjunction with our service providers, will attempt to deliver a product on the requested delivery day. You acknowledge that requested delivery dates are non-binding estimates only and that you have no claim against us for any delays or early deliveries. We reserve the right to make deliveries in installments, which shall not relieve you from your obligation to accept and pay for remaining deliveries. Our service providers do not telephone prior to delivering packages, and we cannot guarantee the time of delivery. All products are deemed accepted upon our delivery of the product to you or your designated recipient’s address.
Promise Chocolates is not responsible for:
• Chocolate, candy items, gift products and gift cards delivered to incorrect addresses supplied by the sender.
• Unsuccessful deliveries arising from the recipient not being present at time of delivery at the address supplied by the sender.
• Decreased product quality due to an incorrect delivery address supplied by the sender, or a re-route requested by the sender.
• Product quality problems caused by improper handling by the recipient.
Free shipping offers are valid only on weekday deliveries to addresses within the Continental United States.
Order Cancellation Policy
Provide Commerce does not allow orders to be edited or cancelled after acceptance of the order pursuant to our Order Acceptance Policy described above or, if earlier, within forty-eight (48) hours of the requested delivery date or within the seven (7) days prior to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day (because of our extremely high volume of orders during these times). Notwithstanding the foregoing, orders for products on the www.promisechocolates.com site may not be cancelled once the order has been accepted.

Guarantee and Disclaimers

WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF OUR GUARANTEES, OUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE, IN OUR DISCRETION, TO REFUND THE PURCHASE PRICE OR TO REPLACE AND DELIVER EQUIVALENT PRODUCT ITEMS, AS SOON AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE.

THE APPLICABLE CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER DELIVERY FOR FOOD PRODUCTS, SWEETS AND BERRIES, AND THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER DELIVERY FOR NON-PERISHABLE GIFT ITEMS, OR WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE AND YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED ANY AND ALL RELATED CLAIMS REGARDING SUCH PRODUCT ITEMS.
WHILE WE ENDEAVOR TO PROVIDE THE MOST ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION AVAILABLE, OUR SITES (INCLUDING OUR SITE CONTENT) MAY BE OUT OF DATE OR INCLUDE OMISSIONS, INACCURACIES OR OTHER ERRORS. OUR SITES (INCLUDING OUR SITE CONTENT) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT OUR SITES (OR SITE CONTENT OR SERVICES) WILL BE ERROR-FREE, TIMELY, SECURE, VIRUS FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT THE USE OF OUR SITES (OR SITE CONTENT) WILL PROVIDE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS.

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED GUARANTEE PROVIDED ABOVE IN THIS SECTION, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO OUR SITES (INCLUDING OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND SITE CONTENT) INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, AND ACCURACY. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US OR OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. You may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If applicable law requires any warranties with respect to the products or services, all such warranties are limited to the duration of the applicable express guarantee above.

Limitation of Liability

YOU AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH HEREIN, PROVIDE COMMERCE, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF DAMAGES RELATED IN ANY WAY TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU (INCLUDING OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR SITE CONTENT) OR THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS OR WEB SITES: INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR USE, INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, RELATED TO OUR PRODUCTS OR YOUR ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, OUR SITES OR ANY OTHER HYPER-LINKED THIRD PARTY WEB SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF, OR ARE AWARE OF, THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU (INCLUDING OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR SITE CONTENT), OR THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS OR WEB SITES (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID TO PROVIDE COMMERCE FOR THE APPLICABLE TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR, IF THERE IS NO PAID TRANSACTION RELATED TO THE LIABILITY, THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO PROMISE CHOCOLATES IN THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTHS AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($50).

Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. If any applicable authority holds any portion of this section to be unenforceable, then liability will be limited to the fullest extent of applicable law.

Dispute Resolution

Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITES, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND PROVIDE COMMERCE ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SITES, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND PRACTICES (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR. RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ARBITRATION, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by a fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case Promise Chocolates will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. Promise Chocolates also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by the arbitrator. Each party agrees pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Waiver of Class Arbitration: To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other Disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your Dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise (“Class Arbitration”). You further acknowledge and agree that any arbitrator assigned to a Dispute lacks the authority to conduct Class Arbitration and that such arbitrator shall only hear individual Disputes. By using the Sites, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily and knowingly waiving any right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Dispute subject to arbitration under these Terms and Conditions, such that you shall not be entitled to arbitrate any Dispute as a representative, a class action or in a private attorney general capacity.

Governing Law: These Terms and Conditions and all Disputes shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Arizona, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Arizona between Arizona residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Further in any arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under Arizona law.

Enforcement of Arbitration Award: The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties subject to these Terms and Conditions, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Severability: If any portion of this “Dispute Resolution” section (with the exception of your Waiver of Class Arbitration) is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be severed and removed from the Terms and Conditions, and the remaining portions (including your Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes) shall remain binding on you and Promise Chocolates.

However, if any arbitrator deems your Waiver of Class Arbitration to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire “Dispute Resolution” section shall be null and void. Under such circumstances, you expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) all Disputes shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Arizona as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Arizona between Arizona residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions; (ii) all Disputes shall be resolved by a state or federal court located in the county of Maricopa, Arizona; and (iii) you will submit to the personal jurisdiction of such Arizona state or federal courts for the purposes of litigating such Disputes.

Put differently, you agree that your Waiver of Class Arbitration cannot be severed from your Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, you expressly acknowledge and agree that it is your intent and the intent of Promise Chocolates not to proceed with any Dispute by way of Class Arbitration.

Outside the United States

We make no representations that the Site Content is appropriate for access outside the United States. Those who choose to access any one of our Sites from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. If any provision within the Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and all remaining provisions shall be enforced.

Indemnity

By using any one of our Sites, you agree to indemnify and hold Promise Chocolates its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents and other partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of such Site, including providing a link to another site or any User Content or your violation of these Terms and Conditions.

Severability

If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and the invalid, void, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law.
Other General Provisions
Section titles in the Terms and Conditions are for convenience and do not define, limit, or extend any provision of the Terms and Conditions. As used herein, the term “including” means “including without limitation”. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Neither party is the agent or partner of the other party. These Terms and Conditions may not be assigned by you without our prior written consent and any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. We may assign any of our rights under these Terms and Conditions without your prior written consent, to any third party. The terms of these Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon permitted assignees.
