1. What is a quip Gift Card?
A quip Gift Card is a prepaid code (an electronic “gift card” or “gift certificate”) that you can purchase to use yourself or give to a Recipient. When you purchase a quip Gift Card, we load it with a specific amount of funds redeemable to buy certain products (“Eligible Goods,” as defined in Section 3 below) offered and sold by quip. There is no plastic card or other physical object that holds value or that you will need to use to buy Eligible Goods. Instead, you will use or, as desired, give to a Recipient a quip Gift Card code that we will provide by email.
The quip Gift Card is not a credit card, a checking account, or connected in any way to any account other than a stored value account where your funds are held. You will not receive any interest on the funds in your quip Gift Card account. The quip Gift Card is not issued by a bank, and the associated funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

These quip Gift Card Terms incorporate the General Terms, as we amend them from time to time in accordance with them, as if they were part of these quip Gift Card Terms.

ARBITRATION CLAUSE
What is arbitration?
Arbitration is an alternative to court. In arbitration, a third-party arbitrator solves disputes in an informal hearing.
Does arbitration differ from court and jury trials?
Yes. The hearing is private. There is no jury. It is usually less formal, faster and less expensive than a lawsuit. Pre-hearing fact finding is limited. Appeals are limited. Courts rarely overturn arbitration awards.
Can a quip Gift Card Purchaser opt out of this Arbitration Clause?
Yes, a Purchaser can opt out within 60 days. If you do not want this Arbitration Clause to apply, you must send us a signed notice within 60 calendar days after you purchase the Card. You must send the notice in writing (and not electronically) to quip NY Inc., 45 Main Street, Suite 630, Brooklyn, NY 11201. Provide your name, address and quip Gift Card code. State that you “opt out” of the dispute clause. If a Purchaser opts out of this Arbitration Clause, the rest of these quip Gift Card Terms will still apply.
What does this Arbitration Clause do?
Unless prohibited by applicable law and unless you opt out, you and we agree that you or we may elect to arbitrate or require arbitration of any “Dispute,” as defined below.
Whom does the Arbitration Clause cover?
This Dispute Clause governs you, us, and the following categories of “Related Parties”: (i) our corporate parents, subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) our employees, directors, officers, shareholders, members and representatives; and (iii) any person or company that is involved in a Dispute (defined below) you pursue at the same time you pursue a related Dispute with us.
Which Disputes does the Arbitration Clause cover?
This Arbitration Clause governs all Disputes, as defined below in this paragraph, that would usually be decided in court and are between us (or any Related Party) and you. In this Arbitration Clause, the word “Disputes” has the broadest reasonable meaning. It includes all claims even indirectly related to your quip Gift Card or these quip Gift Card Terms.
Are there Disputes that this Arbitration Clause does not cover?
Yes. This Arbitration Clause shall not apply to any disputes about the validity, coverage or scope of any part of the Arbitration Clause itself. Any such Disputes about this Arbitration Clause, including any disputes about the rule against class arbitration, are for a court and not an Arbitrator to decide.
Who handles the arbitration?
Arbitrations are conducted under this Dispute Clause and the rules of the arbitration administrator in effect when the arbitration is started. However, arbitration rules that conflict with this Arbitration Clause do not apply. The arbitration administrator will be either:
The American Arbitration Association, 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org.
JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.org
Any other company offering arbitrators picked by agreement of the parties.
If all the above options are unavailable, a court will pick the administrator. No arbitration may be administered without our consent by any administrator that would permit a class arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. The arbitrator will be selected under the administrator’s rules. However, the arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten years of experience or a retired judge unless you and we otherwise agree.
Can Disputes be litigated in court?
Either party may bring a lawsuit if the other party does not demand arbitration. We will not demand arbitration of any lawsuit you bring as an individual action in small-claims court. However, we may demand arbitration of any appeal of a small-claims decision or any small-claims action brought on a class basis.
Are you giving up any rights?
Yes. For Disputes subject to this Arbitration Clause, you give up your right to:
1. Have juries decide Disputes.
2. Have courts, other than small-claims courts, decide Disputes.
3. Serve as a private attorney general or in a representative capacity.
4. Join a Dispute you have with a dispute by other consumers.
5. Bring or be a class member in a class action or class arbitration.
Does quip give up any rights?
Yes. We give up the right to a jury trial and to have courts decide Disputes you wish to arbitrate.
Can you or another consumer start a class arbitration?
No. The Arbitrator is not allowed to handle any Dispute on a class or representative basis. All Disputes subject to this Arbitration Clause must be decided in an individual arbitration or an individual small-claims action. This Arbitration Clause will be void if a court rules that the Arbitrator can decide a Dispute on a class basis and the court’s ruling is not reversed on appeal.
What law applies?
The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs this Arbitration Clause. The Arbitrator must apply substantive law consistent with the FAA. The Arbitrator must honor statutes of limitation and privilege rights. Punitive damages are governed by the constitutional standards that apply in judicial proceedings.
Does this Arbitration clause survive termination or assignment of these quip Gift Card Terms?
Yes. This Dispute Clause stays in force even if: (i) you or we end this Agreement; or (ii) we transfer or assign our rights under this Agreement.
What must you or we do before starting a lawsuit or arbitration?
Before starting a lawsuit or arbitration, the complaining party must give the other party written notice of the Dispute. The notice must explain in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute and any supporting facts. If you are the complaining party, you must send the notice in writing (and not electronically) to quip NY Inc., 45 Main Street, Suite 630, Brooklyn, NY 11201. You or an attorney you have personally hired must sign the notice and must provide the quip Gift Card code and a phone number where you (or your attorney) can be reached. A letter from us to you will serve as our written notice of a Dispute. Once a Dispute notice is sent, the complaining party must give the other party a reasonable opportunity over the next 30 days to resolve the Dispute on an individual basis.
How does an arbitration start?
If the parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after notice of the Dispute is received, the complaining party may commence a lawsuit or an arbitration, subject to the terms of this Arbitration Clause. To start an arbitration, the complaining party picks the administrator and follows the administrator’s rules. If one party begins or threatens a lawsuit, the other party can demand arbitration. This demand can be made in filings with the court. It can be made if a party begins a lawsuit on an individual basis and then tries to pursue a class action. Once an arbitration demand is made, no lawsuit can be brought and any existing lawsuit must stop.
Will any hearing be held nearby?
Yes. The arbitrator may decide that an in-person hearing is unnecessary and that he or she can resolve a Dispute based on written filings and/or a conference call. However, any in-person arbitration hearing must be held at a place reasonably convenient to you.
Can a party appeal an arbitrator’s ruling?
The FAA strictly limits appeal rights. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding. Any appropriate court may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.
Who bears arbitration fees?
We will pay all filing, administrative, hearing and Arbitrator fees if you act in good faith, cannot get a waiver of such fees and ask us to pay.
When will we cover your legal fees and costs?
If you win an arbitration, we will pay the reasonable fees and costs for your attorneys, experts, and witnesses if required under applicable law or the administrator’s rules or if payment is required to enforce this Arbitration Clause.
Will a Cardholder ever owe quip for arbitration or attorneys’ fees?
The arbitrator can require you to pay our fees if (and only if): (i) the Arbitrator finds that you have acted in bad faith (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)); and (ii) this power does not make this Arbitration Clause invalid.
Can an award be explained?
Yes. A party may request details from the arbitrator within 14 days of the ruling. Upon such request, the Arbitrator will explain the ruling in writing.
21. What happens if you do not use your quip Gift Card for a long time?
If your quip Gift Card has remaining value after a certain period of time we may, depending on the state law that applies, be required to send the remaining funds to the appropriate state agency. The period of time before we must, if required, report and send the remaining funds to the appropriate state agency varies from state to state.
22. What other terms apply?
You cannot assign your rights or obligations under these quip Gift Card Terms. When you give a Recipient a quip Gift Card, that Recipient will become bound under these quip Gift Card Terms by using it. We may assign our rights or obligations under these quip Gift Card Terms to a third party.
We may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us to assure the quality of our customer service or as required by applicable law.
We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time.
If any part of these quip Gift Card Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any law, rule, or regulation, the rest of these quip Gift Card Terms will remain in effect, valid, and enforceable.
The laws of the State of New York govern these quip Gift Card Terms except to the extent governed by federal law.
23. Can these quip Gift Card Terms change?
Yes. We may change these quip Gift Card Terms any time, subject to applicable law. If we do, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law. If we need to change these quip Gift Card Terms due to security concerns, we may make the changes to these quip Gift Card Terms and our related practices without notifying you first.
