(that you are authorized to use) or by other methods as the Service may allow. The Gift Cards you
purchase using the Service are subject to the terms and conditions of the third-party merchant with

of any Retailer(s), or any fees, expiration dates, or terms and conditions associated with a Retailer’s
Gift Card sold through the Service.
B. Purchase Guarantee
If you buy any Gift Cards, CardSwapper makes certain limited warranties (the “Purchase
Guarantee”) regarding your Gift Card transactions, as described on the Purchase Guarantee page and
hereby incorporated by reference. You acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Guarantee is subject

through or on the Service, the following: i) the Gift Card is in the same condition as when you
received it from CardSwapper; ii) the Gift Card has not been used since the original purchase date;
iii) the Gift Card is and shall be valid, to the best of your knowledge; iv) the Gift Card is redeemable

to redeem the Gift Card after returning the card to CardSwapper; vi) the Gift Card and any interest
therein is fully transferable to CardSwapper in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, without
violating any contractual or other right; vii) you are the sole, lawful owner of the Gift Card and all

ALL CLAIMS UNDER THE PURCHASE GUARANTEE MUST BE SUBMITTED BY
EMAILING CLAIMS@CARDSWAPPER.COM WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE YOU
ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE GIFT CARD THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE CLAIM. YOU
SHALL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BE ELIGIBLE TO UTILIZE THE PURCHASE
GUARANTEE FOR TRANSACTIONS EXCEEDING AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1000.00) DURING YOUR LIFETIME AS A CARDPOOL MEMBER.
PURCHASE GUARANTEE PROGRAM DOES NOT APPLY TO ELECTRONIC GIFT CARDS
OR MOBILE GIFT CARDS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THOSE PROGRAMS. CARDPOOL
RESERVES THE RIGHT TO LIMIT OR DISCONTINUE THE PURCHASE GUARANTEE IN
OUR SOLE DISCRETION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IF WE BELIEVE THAT
YOU HAVE ENGAGED IN FRAUD OR OTHER UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES, OR IF THE GIFT
CARD ISSUER OR RETAILER DECLARES BANKRUPTCY, ELIMINATES ITS GIFT CARD
PROGRAM, OR STOPS HONORING GIFT CARDS FOR ANY REASON.
C. Selling Gift Cards
Users of the Service can sell Gift Cards directly to CardSwapper. On www.cardpool.com, Users can
choose to alternatively list their Gift Card(s) through our online marketplace, where the Gift Card(s)
will be offered until purchased by another User or removed by the seller (the “CardSwapper
Marketplace”). Gift Cards listed in the CardSwapper Marketplace allow the seller to set the price of
the Gift Card (within parameters solely established by CardSwapper), but there is no guarantee a
buyer will be found. Sellers on the CardSwapper Marketplace may adjust their price or remove their
Gift Card from sale prior to acceptance of their offer. Once a buyer confirms the purchase of a Gift
Card listed in the CardSwapper Marketplace, that Gift Card cannot be removed, the price cannot be
changed, and the seller is obligated to proceed with the transaction as directed by CardSwapper,
which may include shipping a physical Gift Card the seller listed for sale to the buyer. CardSwapper
will notify sellers by email when their offer in the CardSwapper Marketplace is accepted. Sellers
have seven days to ship the Gift Card to the buyer (or such time as directed by CardSwapper), and
will not receive payment from CardSwapper until the buyer verifies receipt or the transaction will be
voided. CardSwapper may terminate a listing in the CardSwapper Marketplace at any time.
When you sell a Gift Card to CardSwapper via the Service, ownership of the Gift Card and any
interest therein to CardSwapper is immediately and automatically to CardSwapper. When you offer a
Gift Card on the CardSwapper Marketplace, You agree that you will not redeem any portion of the
Gift Card at any point prior to the sale to the buyer or thereafter.

personal jurisdiction over CardSwapper, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the
State of Washington. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the
State of Washington, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
excluded. Any claim or dispute between you and CardSwapper that arises in whole or in part
from the Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in

paragraph.
B. Arbitration. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief)
under this Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than ten
thousand U.S. dollars ($10,000), the parties agree to resolve the dispute through binding
non-appearance-based arbitration. The party bringing a claim shall initiate the arbitration
through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) according to the
arbitration procedures established by JAMS. JAMS and the parties must comply with the
following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely
based on written submissions, as selected by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the
arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless
otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
C. Waiver of Jury Trial. For claims or disputes where the award sought is equal to or in
excess of ten thousand U.S. dollars ($10,000), the parties expressly waive all rights to trial
by jury, and further agree to submit to a trial heard by one judge sitting in a court of
competent jurisdiction in King County, Washington.
D. No Class Action. CardSwapper and the User each agree that any dispute under the
Terms of Use or related to the Service in any manner will be brought in the parties’
respective capacities as individuals, and not as a plaintiff or member of a class or
purported class, representative proceeding, or association. CardSwapper and the User
each agree that any dispute under the Terms of use or related to the Service in any
manner will be heard on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or member of a class or
