Information Submitted Through the SDG Online Properties. Your submission of information through the SDG Online Properties is governed by SDG's Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with the SDG Online Properties is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed.
Jurisdictional Issues. The SDG Online Properties are controlled or operated (or both) from the United States, and are not intended to subject SDG to any non-U.S. jurisdiction or law. The SDG Online Properties may not be appropriate or available for use in some non-U.S. jurisdictions. Any use of the SDG Online Properties is at your own risk, and you must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in doing so. We may limit the SDG Online Properties' availability at any time, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose.
Products. The SDG Online Properties may make available listings, descriptions and images of goods or services or related coupons or discounts (collectively, "Products"), as well as references and links to Products. Such Products may be made available by SDG or by third parties. The availability through the SDG Online Properties of any listing, description or image of a third-party Product does not imply our endorsement of such Product or affiliation with the provider of such Product. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of such listings, descriptions or images (including any features, specifications and prices contained therein). Such information and the availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) is subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors, however the actual colors you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the possession, use and sale of any Product.
Transactions. We may make available the ability to purchase or otherwise obtain certain Products through the SDG Online Properties or through other sales channels such as telephone orders, mail orders or our physical stores (a "Transaction"). If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address and your shipping information ("Payment Information"). YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD THAT YOU SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Transactions. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the SDG Online Properties, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all shipping and handling charges. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions. While it is our practice to confirm orders by email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service.
We and our third party payment service providers may request, and may receive from any of your payment card issuers or any payment card network, updated payment card information, such as cancellation of any payment card account, or updated payment card numbers or expiration dates. If such updated information is provided to us and/or any of our third party payment service providers, we may use that information to process any payment that you have authorized us to charge to such payment card, including payment for any outstanding balances owed by you on any purchase. By using the SDG Online Properties and accepting this Agreement, you hereby authorize SDG and its third party payment service providers to update your payment card information and charge your payment card using any such updated payment card information. Your payment card issuer may allow you to opt out of providing updated card information. For more information, please contact your payment card issuer.
Restrictions. SDG reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any Product; to impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount or similar promotion; to bar any user from making any Transaction; to cancel any Transaction even after it has been placed on line through the SDG Online Properties, via customer service, in a Gallery, and/or in an Outlet, and to refuse to provide any user with any Product. By making a Transaction, you represent that the applicable Products will be used only in a lawful manner. You agree that you will not resell any products or services obtained through a Transaction, unless we have provided our express prior written consent for you to do so.
Consent Agreement for Storing Payment Information. You agree that we may store your Payment Information following your completion of a Transaction. We will only use Payment Information to finalize complete payment for any Product purchased online though the SDG Online Properties, via customer service, in a Gallery, and/or in an Outlet and/or to facilitate future Transactions you may initiate through the SDG Online Properties. You may withdraw your consent permitting SDG to store your Payment Information by adjusting your settings in "My Account". Any changes to the terms of this consent permitting SDG to store your Payment Information will be communicated to you as described in Section 1 of this Agreement.
Refunds & Exchanges. Refunds and exchanges will be subject to SDG's applicable refund and exchange policies.
In the event that you have received a refund, an exchange and/or a temporary replacement Product for Product purchased through an SDG Site, via customer service, in a Gallery, and/or in an Outlet, and you have not returned that Product and/or the temporary replacement Product to us within ten (10) business days after you have received a refund, or you received a refund that was greater than the amount you paid, then you agree that we can hold and not process any pending and/or any future orders from you until we have received the Product or full payment from you. You also agree that if a Product for which you received a refund or exchange, or a temporary replacement Product is not returned to us within ten (10) business days after you are issued a refund, then we may utilize your current or future Payment Information to re-charge you for that Product at any time.

Gift Registries. We may make a gift registry service available to you through the SDG Online Properties. Any gift registry that you create with us (a "Gift Registry") must be for an event involving you or someone who has authorized you to create a Gift Registry on his or her behalf. If a user makes a Transaction using a Gift Registry, we will attempt to update such Gift Registry promptly to reflect such purchases, although we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to do so. We will attempt to keep a Gift Registry accessible for two (2) years after the date of the applicable event, although this time period is subject to change without notice in our discretion.
Registration. User Names and Passwords. You may need to register to use all or part of any SDG Online Property.

Governing Law; Arbitration. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND SDG, 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 SDG AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

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 the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow the terms of this Agreement 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 this Agreement, 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 this Agreement 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.
