Semy is a social gifting platform that allows its user(s) to give gifts and share the experience of the moment as the gift is given. Semy is brought to you (the “user”, “you” or “your”) and wholly owned by DOB NGU Corporation (“Semy” or “us”, “we” or “our”).  Through Semy’s mobile application(s) (the “Semy Mobile App”) and the Semy widgets integrated into third party websites, or services (collectively, with the Semy Mobile App, the “Service”) Semy users are connected with merchants (“Merchants”) enabling you to give and send gifts, products and services offered by the Merchants (“Gifts”) to friends, co-workers, clients, family, and loved-ones. These terms of use (the “Terms of Use” or the “Agreement”) govern your use of, and access to, the Service.

Information we collect through or in connection with the Semy Mobile App is subject to our Privacy Policy (available at https://semyapp.com/privacy-policy/).

Special Terms for Merchants
Merchants also have to register an account with Semy (“Merchant Account”) and abide by these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy (for which purpose the Merchants shall be considered “users” of the Service). In addition, each Merchant must enter into a separate Merchant agreement (“Merchant Agreement”) with Semy. In the event of a conflict between the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy and any terms of the Merchant Agreement, the terms of the Merchant Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility and Age Restrictions
The Semy Mobile App and Services may only be used by individuals who have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and are fully able to satisfy the terms, conditions and obligations herein. By registering a Semy Account and accepting this Agreement, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. You are not allowed to register a Semy Account and you do not have the right to access or use the Service if you do not meet these criteria. 

Please note that alcoholic beverages and related services may be sold and delivered only to persons who are at least 21 years of age. By placing an order for any Gift that is an alcoholic beverage, you represent and warrant: (a) that you are purchasing the Gift for personal use and not for resale; (b) that you are at least 21 years old; (c) that any person(s) to whom the Gift will be delivered or served is at least 21 years old; and (d) that the person(s) receiving the Gift will provide valid identification proving that he or she is at least 21 years of age.

If you are under the age of 21 and misrepresent your age or the age of the person(s) to whom a Gift comprising an alcoholic beverage and associated services are to be provided, you may be subject to prosecution for Laws and your Semy Account will be terminated.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we reserve the right to refuse to register a Semy Account, cancel, suspend, or temporarily deactivate unconfirmed or inactive Semy Accounts at any time and for any reason whatsoever, in particular, but without limitation, any Semy Account that violates any of these Terms of Use. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, at any time.

Modifications of these Terms of Use
We may, in our sole discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Use at any time by presenting the revised Terms of Use for your acceptance and by posting the amended terms here or elsewhere on the Service. Such changes may include, among other things, the addition of certain fees or charges.

It is important that you review the updated Terms of Use whenever we modify them because your continued use of the Service after we have posted modified Terms of Use constitutes your acceptance to be bound by the modified Terms of Use. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Terms of Use, then you may not use the Service anymore.

We may also notify you by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address that is registered with your account. Any changes to the Terms of Use will not apply to Gifts purchased prior to the effective date of such changes. Any changes will be effective for Gifts purchased after the effective date.

Products are Sold by the Merchants
The Merchant, not Semy, is the seller of the Gifts and related products and services and is solely responsible for providing the Gifts you purchased. However, we encourage you to notify us of any failure of a Merchant to redeem a Gift to give us the opportunity to address such case as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. Your only recourse with respect to a Merchant’s failure to redeem a Gift shall be against the Merchant from which you purchased such Gift.

Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, you agree to make any claims to redeem a Gift purchased on the Service within 45 days after purchase of such Gift. You are responsible for your own actions or omissions in utilizing the Gifts or other services or products provided by Merchants. We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the quality, safety, usability, or other aspect of the Gifts or other services or products provided by Merchants. We are not liable for any costs, harm or damages that occur as a result of, either directly or indirectly, the Gifts or other services or products provided by Merchants. You acknowledge that your purchase of Gifts from Merchants on the Service is at your own risk.

Purchasing Gifts and Additional Terms and Conditions

All conditions associated with the lawful sale and service of Gifts by the Merchant are the responsibility of the Merchant and may be subject to additional regulatory conditions and restrictions including but not limited to age verification requirements and restrictions associated with the delivery of alcoholic beverage products to certain consumers.

From time to time, we may offer special promotions, contests and/or sweepstakes to provide users with incentives to purchase Gifts using the Service.  We might also tailor particular promotions for you based on the Gifts that you’ve purchased previously, Gifts you have received from other Semy Account holders or related to the Merchants from whom you have purchased or received Gifts. The applicable rules for such special promotional activities will be posted on the Semy website or communicated to you in advance of the promotional activity. 

Descriptions of the Gifts listed on the Service are provided by the Merchant and Semy does not investigate or vet Merchants. Semy is not responsible for any claims associated with the description of the Gifts or related pricing, which may change at any time in Semy’s sole discretion without notice. Semy reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not process or to cancel any orders placed, including, without limitation, if the price was incorrectly posted on the Service, and Semy reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to correct any error in the stated retail price of any Gift listed on the Service.

Semy does not verify, validate, or collect evidence of any regulatory authorization, license or certification from any Merchant You should make whatever investigation you deem necessary or appropriate before purchasing any Gift to determine whether Merchant is qualified to provide the Gift. Merchant is solely responsible for the care and quality of the Gifts. If a Gift becomes unavailable between ordering and processing, Semy may either cancel or not process the Gift order and will notify you by email or other means.

Gifts Are Nontransferable
When you purchase a Gift, only the named recipient has the right to receive the Gift. The recipient cannot transfer the right to receive the Gift to anyone else except as explicitly allowed by the Service. The right to receive a Gift comprising an alcoholic beverage is subject to the Merchant’s obligation to comply with all applicable laws and regulations associated with the sale and service of alcoholic beverages.

Charges
Gifts are purchasable and billed on a one-time basis. You hereby authorize us to charge, on behalf of the Merchant, the credit card or other payment method you have on file in connection with purchases of Gifts.

No Refunds or Exchanges
Once your purchase of a Gift is completed, the Gift cannot be returned or refunded by either us or the Merchant. We advise that prior to placing an order for a Gift you carefully review your selection. Once you have purchased a Gift, you agree to not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the credit card or other payment method you used. If you have a question about a charge, you may contact us via the Service or via e-mail at help@semyapp.com. If you deliberately or inadvertently issue a chargeback to the credit card or other payment method you have on file, your account may be terminated. You also agree to pay a $50 processing and collection fee to cover our costs for processing each chargeback. Failure to pay any fees or other amounts owed for Gifts purchased may result in the information pertaining to your outstanding debt being turned over to a collection agency. Past-due balances may be subject to a finance charge of 2% per month or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. If any fees or charges owed by you are past due, you agree to pay all related collection costs including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees, collection agency fees and other administrative costs.

(The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration and a separate Demand for Arbitration for California residents.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted telephonically and solely on the basis of the documents that you and DOB NGU Corporation submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, or any other location you and we mutually agree to.

Arbitrator’s Decision.

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The proceedings and decision in any such arbitration will be confidential. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 

Fees.

Each party’s responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be as set forth in the AAA Rules.
