IMPORTANT -- PLEASE READ:
The following Hamby Office Products Gift Card Agreement describes
the terms and conditions that apply to the pre-paid account of

into two parts. Part One describes the terms that apply generally
to the Hamby Office Products Gift Card. Part Two contains
important legal terms and conditions, including information
regarding Hamby Office Products privacy statement, our mutual

changes to this agreement.
By using YOUR Hamby Office Products Gift Card,
you agree to the terms of this agreement. Please keep a copy of
this agreement for your records.
The Hamby Office Products Gift Card is issued to you by
Hamby Office Products. It allows you to load a dollar value on to
your Hamby Office Products Gift Card for future purchases at the Hamby Office Products
website. The dollar value that you load onto your Hamby Office Products Gift Card
is a pre-payment only for the goods and services of participating Hamby Office Products
stores. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or
deposit account is associated with a Hamby Office Products Gift Card.
Unless otherwise required by law or permitted by this agreement,
any amount on your Hamby Office Products Gift Card is
non-refundable and may not be redeemed for cash. No interest,
dividends, or any other earnings on funds deposited to a Hamby Office Products Gift Card
will accrue or be paid or credited to you by Hamby Office Products.

not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Most items can be purchased with your Hamby Office Products Gift Card,
however, there may be items, including, but not limited to,
special order items, that may not be purchased using your Hamby Office Products
Gift Card. We reserve the right not to accept any Hamby Office Products Gift Card
or otherwise limit use of a Hamby Office Products Gift Card if we
reasonably believe that the use is unauthorized, fraudulent or
otherwise unlawful.

by using a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account by calling 866-Hamby-OP.
You may not load more than $500 worth of value to your Hamby Office Products Gift Card.
The minimum amount that must be loaded onto your Hamby Office Products Gift Card
is $20. Hamby Office Products may change the maximum and minimum
amounts at any time by notifying you at the point of sale, by
phone when you call, or on the Hamby Office Products web site, and
such change shall not constitute an amendment to this agreement.
All amounts loaded onto your Hamby Office Products Gift Card are
held and denominated in the currency of the United States of
America (the “base currency”). When you make a purchase in a
different country, the transaction total is converted from the
currency of that country (the “local currency”) to the base
currency and deducted from the account. No fees or other charges
are made to your Hamby Office Products Gift Card for the
conversion. The actual balance of your Hamby Office Products Gift Card
is held in the base currency. The amounts shown on your receipt
will be in the base currency. Transactions that occur on our web

based on currency exchange rates applicable on the date of the

you will receive a receipt if you request one but will not be
asked to sign the receipt. The receipt will indicate that the
purchase was made using a Hamby Office Products Gift Card. You
should keep your receipts to ensure that your account balance is
correct.

account if we believe that a clerical, billing or accounting error
occurred. If you have questions regarding your transaction history
or any correction, or if you dispute any transaction or correction
that has been assessed against your Hamby Office Products Gift Card,
please call our customer service department at 866-Hamby-OP. We

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT
YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST
DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT TRIALS AND CLASS
ACTIONS. ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING AND SUBJECT TO ONLY VERY
LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE SHALL SURVIVE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
|
This provision is intended to be interpreted
broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of
our relationship. Any dispute or claim made by you against
us (or against any of our subsidiary, parent or affiliate
companies) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
your use of the Hamby Office Products Gift Card (whether
based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation
or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding
arbitration except that (a) you may take claims to small
claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court,
or (b) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if
the claims relate solely to the collection of any debts
you owe to us. However, even for those claims that may be
taken to court, you and we both waive any claims for
punitive damages and any right to pursue claims on a class
or representative basis.
You must first present any claim or dispute to us
by contacting our Customer Service Department to allow us
an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request
arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved
within sixty (60) days. The arbitration of any dispute or
claim shall be conducted in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") as modified by
this agreement. The AAA Rules and information about
arbitration and fees are available upon request from the
AAA (call 800-778-7879) or online at www.adr.org.
You and we agree that this agreement evidences a
transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration
provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance
with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal
arbitration law. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any
arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California,
and will be conducted in the English language. An
arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary
to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or
arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or
award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the
prevailing party's actual damages, except that the
arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages
required by statute and may order injunctive or
declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer
protection statute. In any arbitration applying the AAA
Rules applicable to large/complex cases, the Arbitrators
must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the
losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance
with the review procedures set forth in the AAA Rules. Any
arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we
may disclose the existence, content or results of any
arbitration, except as may be required by law or for
purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment
on any arbitration award may be entered in any court
having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this
arbitration clause is determined by a court to be
inapplicable or invalid, than the remainder shall still be
given full force and effect.
All administrative fees and expenses of an
arbitration will be divided equally between you and us,
except that for claims of less than $1,000, you will be
obligated to pay $25 and we will pay all other
administrative costs and fees. In all arbitrations, each
party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts,
witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at
the arbitration.
By this Agreement, both you and we are waiving
certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If for any
reason this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or
invalid, you and we both waive, to the fullest extent
allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or
exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a
class or consolidated basis or in a representative
capacity.
|
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California
notwithstanding any conflict of law rules.

HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR
USE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT,

OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES HAVE
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL
HAMBY OFFICE PRODUCTS OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF A
HAMBY OFFICE PRODUCTS GIFT CARD THROUGH ACCIDENT, MISUSE, OR
FRAUDULENT MEANS OR DEVICES BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, OR AS A
RESULT OF ANY DELAY OR MISTAKE RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
The laws of certain states or other jurisdiction do not allow
limitations on implied warranties, or the exclusion or limitation
of certain damages. If these laws apply, some or all of the above
disclaimers, exclusions, or limitations may not apply to you, and
you may have rights in addition to those contained in this
agreement. In such jurisdiction, our liability is limited to the
greatest extent permitted by law.
We may assign all or part of this agreement without such
assignment being considered a change to the agreement, and without
notice to you. We are then released from all liability. The
assignee shall have the same rights and obligations as the
assignor and shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this agreement.
This agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of
agreement between you and Hamby Office Products, and supersedes
and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements. In the
event that any provision of this agreement shall be determined to
be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to
the minimum extent necessary so that this agreement shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in
no way affect interpretation of this agreement.
