1)  General  Information    This  agreement  is  between  Tamsen  Connects  (Tamsen  Taylor,  “I”,  “me”),  the  purchaser  of  the  gift  card  (Purchaser)  and  the  person  receiving  or  using  the  gift  card  (Recipient).      Tamsen  Connects  offers  gift  cards  for  sale  in  several  denominations  ($10,  $20,  $50).  These  gift  cards  are  intended  to  be  valid  for  use  at  any  of  the  Tamsen  Connects  Network  Businesses  (also  called  Service  Providers  in  this  document).  Gift  cards  are  available  on  the  Tamsen  Connects  website  (www.TamsenConnects.ca).    Gift  cards  are  plastic  cards  with  the  Tamsen  Connects  logo  and  a  denomination.  Unless  otherwise  arranged  with  Service  Providers  (see  Section  4,  Redeeming  Gift  Cards)  the  entire  value  of  the  card  must  be  used  at  one  point  of  purchase  by  the  Recipient  (one  Service  Provider  and  one  purchase  occasion).  The  cards  must  be  surrendered  to  the  Service  Provider  at  the  point  of  payment.      I  reserve  the  right  to  change  or  update  the  gift  card  terms  of  use  without  notice.      

2)  Disclaimer    I  cannot  claim  responsibility  for  the  performance  of  the  service  providers  in  the  Tamsen  Connects  Online  Directory.  I  have  included  companies  here  in  good  faith,  but  I  have  not  necessarily  used  every  service.  It  is  also  possible  that  my  opinions  and  preferences  differ  from  yours  and  as  such  we  would  view  the  same  service  differently.    Each  individual  service  provider  is  responsible  for  their  own  performance.  If  you  are  unhappy  with  the  performance  of  a  Service  Provider,  please  contact  them  for  remediation.    

3)  Purchasing  Gift  Cards    Gift  cards  are  available  in  three  denominations:  $10,  $20,  and  $50.    Gift  cards  are  available  in  Canadian  Funds  only.    At  the  time  of  purchase,  the  Purchaser  must  select  a  delivery  option  (i.e.,  will  the  card  be  delivered  to  the  Purchaser  or  the  Recipient).    Delivery  to  Ontario  locations  is  

Page 3: Tamsen connects gift card agreement august 21 2015

included  in  the  base  shipping  and  handling  fee.  Other  delivery  options  are  available  at  additional  cost.    It  is  assumed  that  gift  card  purchases  are  also  being  made  within  Ontario.  It  is  certainly  possible  to  order  gift  cards  from  other  locations,  but  that  may  involve  different  fees  (e.g.,  additional  postage,  changes  in  tax  rate).      If  the  gift  card  is  to  be  sent  directly  to  a  Recipient,  options  for  including  a  decorative  note  card  with  a  personalized  greeting  are  available  at  additional  cost.      

4)  Redeeming  Gift  Cards    Gift  cards  are  not  returnable  or  redeemable  for  cash.    Gift  cards  are  valid  only  at  Service  Providers  that  belong  to  the  Tamsen  Connects  Network  at  the  time  the  gift  card  is  redeemed.  Service  Providers  in  the  Tamsen  Connects  Network  can  be  found  in  the  Tamsen  Connects  Online  Directory:    http://www.tamsenconnects.ca/directory/    When  a  Recipient  wishes  to  redeem  a  gift  card,  the  Recipient  must  give  the  Service  Provider  from  whom  the  Recipient  is  planning  to  redeem  the  gift  card  at  least  48  hours  notice  (not  counting  weekends  or  holidays;  i.e.,  two  business  days)  that  the  Recipient  will  be  using  a  gift  card.  Please  inform  the  Service  Provider  of  the  denomination  of  the  card,  and  the  identifying  number  on  the  card.  If  less  than  two  business  days  notice  is  given  before  a  Recipient  attempt  to  redeem  a  gift  card,  the  Service  Provider  may  refuse  to  accept  the  gift  card  as  payment.    The  gift  card  can  be  used  by  someone  other  than  the  Recipient.  If  a  Purchaser  or  Recipient  has  lost  a  gift  card  or  had  a  gift  card  stolen,  they  may  report  the  card  as  lost  or  stolen  (see  Section  5).      Unless  other  arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  Service  Provider,  the  entire  value  of  the  card  must  be  used  at  one  point  of  purchase  (one  Service  Provider  and  one  purchase  occasion).  The  cards  cannot  be  partially  used.  As  noted  in  Section  4a)  below,  it  is  up  to  the  discretion  of  the  Service  Provider  if  they  will  make  accommodation  if  a  Recipient  wishes  to  redeem  gift  cards  in  greater  value  of  the  service  the  Service  Provider  is  performing.    If  a  service  costs  more  than  the  value  of  the  gift  card,  the  difference  must  be  made  up  by  the  Recipient  in  a  manner  acceptable  to  the  Service  Provider  (i.e.,  a  Service  Provider  might  not  accept  credit  cards).    

Page 4: Tamsen connects gift card agreement august 21 2015

When  a  card  is  used  it  must  be  surrendered  to  the  Service  Provider  at  the  point  of  purchase.      

4a)  If  a  gift  card  is  more  than  the  cost  of  the  service    

Exchange  cards  for  cards  of  a  lower  denomination:  If  a  Recipient  has  $20  or  $50  gift  cards  and  they  wish  to  exchange  them  for  gift  cards  of  lower  denomination,  the  Recipient  may  contact  me  at  [email protected]  and  we  can  make  arrangements  for  an  exchange.  If  the  exchange  has  to  be  done  by  mail  then  additional  charges  to  cover  postage  and  handling  will  apply.    

Use  at  a  future  visit:  If  there  is  a  situation  in  which  a  Recipient  has  gift  cards  of  greater  value  than  an  intended  purchase,  the  Recipient  may  be  able  to  arrange  ahead  of  time  to  add  the  extra  value  on  to  a  future  purchase  point  with  the  same  Service  Provider.  For  example,  if  a  service  costs  $60,  and  a  Recipient  has  two  $50  gift  cards,  it  might  be  possible  for  the  Service  Provider  to  accept  the  $100  in  gift  cards  and  use  $40  toward  the  next  service  visit.  The  Recipient  is  responsible  for  ensuring  that  they  get  a  receipt  or  some  indication  that  they  have  overpaid,  which  can  be  presented  to  the  Service  Provider  as  a  reminder  that  a  portion  of  the  next  service  visit  has  been  prepaid.  Such  an  arrangement  is  up  to  the  Service  Provider,  and  they  are  within  their  rights  to  decline  to  make  such  an  arrangement.  The  Service  Provider  may  place  a  time  limit  on  the  use  of  the  extra  funds  at  the  time  of  negotiation  (e.g.,  30  days).  Such  a  time  limit  on  the  use  of  the  extra  funds  should  be  NO  LESS  THAN  30  days.  If  no  time  limit  is  imposed  by  the  Service  Provider,  a  DEFAULT  TIME  LIMIT  of  90  days  applies.  If  the  Service  Provider  wishes,  they  may  exceed  the  default  time  limit  of  90  days.      

“Make  change”:  Another  option  if  a  Recipient  wishes  to  use  gift  cards  of  a  greater  value  than  an  intended  purchase,  the  Recipient  may  be  able  to  arrange  ahead  of  time  so  that  the  Service  Provider  can  “make  change”  with  gift  cards  of  a  lower  value.  For  example,  if  a  service  costs  $60,  and  a  Recipient  has  two  $50  gift  cards,  the  Service  Provider  could  give  the  Recipient  four  $10  gift  cards  at  the  point  of  purchase.  NOTE:  if  a  Recipient  wishes  to  use  this  option,  additional  time  (up  to  5  business  days)  might  be  required  so  that  the  Service  Provider  has  the  correct  gift  cards  available.  ALSO  NOTE:  change  is  only  available  in  gift  card  denominations,  and  $10  is  the  lowest  denomination  available.  Therefore,  any  change  less  than  $10  will  have  to  be  surrendered  by  the  Recipient.  That  is,  if  a  Service  Provider  needs  to  make  $9  in  change,  that  $9  would  be  sacrificed  by  the  Recipient,  and  no  change  will  be  given.  Again,  such  an  arrangement  is  up  to  the  Service  Provider,  and  they  are  within  their  rights  to  decline  to  make  this  type  of  arrangement.

5)  Lost  or  Stolen  Cards    Tamsen  Connects  or  Service  Providers  cannot  claim  any  responsibility  for  lost  or  stolen  gift  cards.  Lost  or  stolen  gift  cards  cannot  be  redeemed  or  refunded.    If  you  lose  a  Tamsen  Connects  gift  card,  you  may  contact  me  at  [email protected]  to  report  the  card  as  lost  or  stolen.    If  you  are  attempting  to  use  a  gift  card  and  it  has  been  reported  as  lost  or  stolen  then  Service  Providers  are  not  obligated  to  honour  it.  If  you  believe  there  has  been  an  error  please  contact  me  at  [email protected]  and  I  will  be  able  to  discuss  your  concerns.      

6)  Privacy  Policy    Information  submitted  by  the  Purchaser  when  purchasing  or  discussing  gift  cards  will  not  be  sold  or  shared  with  third  parties.  When  a  Service  Provider  is  contacted  to  redeem  a  gift  card,  they  may  wish  to  verify  that  the  gift  card  is  valid.  The  Service  Provider  can  contact  Tamsen  Connects  to  determine  the  status  of  the  gift  card.  No  information  about  the  Purchaser  or  Recipient  will  be  communicated,  but  the  status  of  the  gift  card  ID  number  will  be  verified.    In  cases  where  a  third  party  is  involved  (e.g.,  a  Purchaser  special  orders  a  decorative  notecard  to  accompany  the  Tamsen  Connects  gift  card  when  it  is  sent  to  the  Recipient)  then  information  will  pass  between  the  decorative  gift  card  provider  and  myself  so  that  the  order  can  be  fulfilled.  The  information  will  not  be  sold  or  otherwise  distributed.    

7)  Security  Policy    Payments  made  to  Tamsen  Connects  are  administered  through  a  program  called  MoonClerk.  Their  security  policies  can  be  found  here:      http://help.moonclerk.com/customer/portal/articles/796016-­‐what-­‐kinds-­‐of-­‐security-­‐measures-­‐does-­‐moonclerk-­‐provide-­‐    

Page 6: Tamsen connects gift card agreement august 21 2015

Note  that  MoonClerk  uses  Stripe  to  process  payments.  Stripe’s  information  can  be  found  here:    https://stripe.com/help/security    Note  that  Tamsen  Connects  uses  these  financial  services,  which  are  responsible  for  the  security  of  the  Purchaser’s  financial  information.  The  end  responsibility  for  the  security  of  financial  information  rests  with  Stripe  and  MoonClerk.  I  do  not  ever  have  direct  access  to  the  Purchaser’s  financial  information  (i.e.,  the  Purchaser’s  credit  card  number).  By  making  payments  through  the  Tamsen  Connects  website  the  Purchaser  accepts  the  policies  of  MoonClerk  and  Stripe  and  also  agrees  that  Tamsen  Connects  cannot  be  held  responsible  for  the  Purchaser’s  financial  information.    Other  information  that  may  be  submitted  to  Tamsen  Connects  through  the  Tamsen  Connects  website  will  be  held  through  the  SquareSpace  website  and  privately  through  a  password-­‐protected  computer  system.    It  is  unlikely  that  an  outside  source  will  gain  access  to  address  or  email  information.  However,  in  the  event  of  a  security  breach  (e.g.,  SquareSpace  is  “hacked”),  the  Purchaser  and  Recipient  agree  not  to  hold  Tamsen  Taylor  or  Tamsen  Connects  responsible  for  the  lost  data.
