A. Order Acceptance and Billing
You represent and warrant that you have the
right to use any credit card or other means of payment that you provide to
us. By providing payment card information to us, you authorize us to store
and use the card as a payment method for purchases made through your Bark ‘n
Baby Gifts.com account, including on Bark ‘n Baby Gifts affiliated sites and
properties which you access via your Bark ‘n Baby Gifts.com account
credentials. Bark ‘n Baby Gifts participates in account update services offered
by some banks. If your bank participates in account updater services,
these services will automatically update your card number or expiration date in
our system when it changes. If you do not want to have your cards
automatically updated, you can opt out of these services by contacting your
issuing bank. All billing information you provide to us must be
truthful and accurate. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate
information is a breach of these Terms of Use and may result in cancellation of
your order. Prior to accepting an order, we may also request
additional information from you. Verification of information may be
required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any
purchase. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any
reason including limitations on quantities available for purchase,
inaccuracies, or errors in product or pricing information, or problems
identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. If your
order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been
charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or other applicable
payment account) in the amount of the charge. We will attempt to
contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional
information is required to accept your order. Bark ‘n Baby Gifts may
request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or
debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you;
however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your
card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is
held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and
that you have enough funds to complete the transaction.
By confirming your purchase at the end of the
checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the Products, as well as all
shipping and handling charges and applicable taxes. You will not be
charged for most orders until the order has shipped. Some exceptions
(when you will be charged at the time your order is placed) are: (a) orders or
preorders paid for with a Gift Card, eGift Card, or PayPal account; and (ii)
orders paid using the in-store “Cash” payment method.
Bark ‘n Baby Gifts reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit
the quantity of items purchased per person, per household, or per order for any
reason. We will attempt to notify you should such limits be
applied. Bark ‘n Baby Gifts also reserves the right, at our sole
discretion, to prohibit sales to dealers or resellers. For purposes
of these Terms of Use, “reselling” will be defined as purchasing or intending
to purchase any Product(s) from Bark ‘n Baby Gifts for the purpose of engaging
in a commercial sale of the same Product(s) to a third party.
B. Pricing Information; Availability
Bark ‘n Baby Gifts cannot confirm the price or
availability of an item until after your order is placed. Pricing or
availability errors may occur on the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts Sites or through
Marketplace Retailers. The receipt of an order confirmation does not
constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a
Product. Bark ‘n Baby Gifts reserves the right to cancel any orders
containing pricing or availability errors, with no further obligations to you,
even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from Bark ‘n
Baby Gifts. Bark ‘n Baby Gifts may, at its discretion, either
contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such
cancellation. Pricing for products may be different on the Bark ‘n
Baby Gifts Sites or from prices available in Bark ‘n Baby Gifts stores or on Bark
‘n Baby Gifts Apps.
C. Promotional Codes
Promotional codes are limited in nature and may
expire or be discontinued with or without notice. Promotional codes
are void where prohibited by law. Promotional codes may not be
copied, sold, or otherwise transferred. They are not redeemable for
cash and are subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason
without notice. We reserve the right in our discretion to impose
conditions on the offering of any promotional code.
D. Gift Cards
The risk of loss and title to any gift cards
passes to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or
delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable. Your purchase and
use of gift cards are subject to the full terms and conditions related to gift
cards, available at www.barknbabygifts.com
Products will be shipped to an address
designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and
complies with the shipping restrictions contained on the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts
Sites. All transactions are made pursuant to a shipping contract,
and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery
of the Products to the carrier.

Baby Gifts Sites to addresses outside the United States is
limited. Some Products also have restricted delivery within the
United States. Some Products may be available for pick up at
physical Bark ‘n Baby Gifts store locations. Estimated delivery
times are determined based on the method of shipping chosen when Products are
purchased and the destination of the Products.

or accessing the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts Sites constitutes your acceptance of this
Arbitration provision. Please read it carefully as it provides that
you and Bark ‘n Baby Gifts will waive any right to file a lawsuit in court or
participate in a class action for matters within the terms of the Arbitration
provision.
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN YOU AND BARK ‘N BABY GIFTS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE,
FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH
FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT
BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT BARK ‘N BABY GIFTS AND YOU ARE EACH
WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU
AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS
ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE
UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration
will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”)
pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective
July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to
arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration,
are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration.
The Minimum Standards are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-arbitration.
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or
videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator
determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is
appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location
which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their
ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are
unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by
the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of
these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will
have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or
relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use, but only to
the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before
the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be
confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these
Terms of Use will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of
federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief
against us for you.
These Terms of Use will be governed by and
construed under the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration
law) and the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law
principles.
These Terms of Use are effective unless and
until terminated by either you or Bark ‘n Baby Gifts. You may

further use of the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts Sites. We also may terminate

deny you access to the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts Sites, if in our sole discretion you
fail to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of
Use. Upon any termination of these Terms of Use by either you or Bark
‘n Baby Gifts, you must promptly destroy all Materials and other Content

unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable and the other terms of these Terms of
Use will remain in full force and effect. The failure of Bark ‘n
Baby Gifts to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or
others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit Bark ‘n Baby Gift’s
rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. You
may not assign, transfer, or sub license any or all your rights or obligations
under these Terms of Use without our express prior written
consent. We may assign, transfer, or sub license any or all our

limitation.” Notices to you (including notices of changes to this
these Terms of Use) may be made via posting to the Bark ‘n Baby Gifts Sites or
