1. Introduction to Loop & Tie
1.1 Introduction to Us. Welcome to Loop & Tie! We are a Delaware corporation legally known as The Next One’s On Me, Inc. doing business as Loop & Tie (referred to in these Terms as “Loop & Tie”, “we”, “us”, “our” or words of similar import). We refer to our users in these Terms as “you”, “your”, “users” or words of similar import. We also sometimes refer to you in our Terms for Personal Users as “Personal Users” and as “Business Users” in our Terms for Business Users. By “Personal Users”, we mean a user who, in a family, friendship or other personal context, wishes to send a “Gift Link” (which is defined in Section 4.2 below entitled “Description of the Services”) to whomever the Personal User likes. By “Business Users”, we mean a user (which can include individuals and companies) that wishes to send a Gift Link as part of a business promotion, as a reward to a loyal employee or for some other lawful business purpose. Our Terms for Personal Users and for Business Users are different. The Terms as set forth in this Section and below are for Business Users. If you registered with us as a Personal User, the Terms for Personal Users are applicable to you in that capacity.
2. Acceptance of Terms
2.1 Our Terms are a Binding Contract. These Terms govern Business Users’ access to and use of our Site and Services. You acknowledge that these Terms constitute a legally binding contract between you and Loop & Tie even though this contract is electronic and not physically signed by you. Your use of our Site and Services is also governed by our privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.loopandtie.com/privacy-policy (as our privacy policy may be amended, “Privacy Policy”). All collection, sharing, and use of data regarding access to the Site and use of the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which by this reference is incorporated into and made a part of these Terms, so please read it carefully. By accessing the Site and clicking to accept the Terms when this option is made available to you, you are telling us that you have read and that you understand and agree to be bound by these Terms (including our Privacy Policy). If you do not agree to these Terms (including our Privacy Policy), you must not access or use our Site or Services.
2.2 Age Requirement. Our Site and Services are offered and available only to business entities and users who are individuals and at least 18 years old. By an individual using the Site the individual represents to us that he or she is at least 18 years old and, if acting on behalf of a business entity, is authorized to do so. If you are not at least 18 years old or otherwise do not have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a contract with Loop & Tie on behalf of the business entity for which you are acting, you must not access or use our Site or Services. Please note, however, that certain Gift Links may only be purchased by individuals who are at least 21 (see Section 5.2 below entitled “Alcohol Products”).
2.3 Agreements for Business Users. As a Business User, you have the option of acquiring our free service for Business Users or one of our paying services. If you subscribe for a paying service, you will be required to become a party to one or more additional agreements (each, a “Supplemental Agreement”). If there is an inconsistency between these Terms and the provisions of a Supplemental Agreement, the terms of the Supplemental Agreement will control.
3. Changes to Terms

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion by posting a revised version of these Terms to the Site and sending you notice of the new Terms to the latest email address we have for you in our records. Unless otherwise stated in a particular change, all changes are effective and will apply to you upon the earlier of (a) your first use of the Site with actual notice of the change or (b) 30 days after we post the change to the Site. The “Last Modified” legend appearing at the top of this page indicates when these Terms were last modified.
3.2 Acceptance of Changes. Your continued use of the Site following the earlier of receipt of actual notice or posting of revised Terms as described above means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check these Terms frequently to learn of any changes, as they are binding on you. If you disagree with any change, you must stop using the Site and the Services.
4. Our Services
4.1 Our Mission. Our mission is to create gifting experiences for all of our users that offer unparalleled visibility, efficiency, and flexibility by providing gifting related products and services (the “Services”) through our state-of-the-art gifting platform (the “Platform”) found at www.loopandtie.com (such site, and any other web site, web widget, mobile application, or other similar platform, owned, controlled, operated or offered by us, the “Site”).
4.2 Description of the Services. We want to make the use of our Site and Services simple and hassle free for all of our users. After properly accessing the Site, you start your gift experience by creating an account, purchasing L&T Credits (as defined in Section 9.2 below), and acquiring one or more links to send gifts (each gift being referred to in these Terms as a “Gift” and each such link being referred to in these Terms as a “Gift Link”) to a person or entity of your choice that qualifies as an “Eligible Recipient”. To be an “Eligible Recipient”, the shipping address provided by the person or entity you chose as your recipient must be located in a jurisdiction that is not subject to sanction under U.S. sanctions laws and that person or entity must not be sanctioned under U.S. sanctions laws. The Gift Link could be a link to a specific gift chosen by you or to a particular collection of gift choices we offer (each, a “Gift Collection”). You then email the Gift Link to your Eligible Recipient and once your Eligible Recipient receives that email, he or she simply clicks on the Gift Link to receive the Gift you chose or to select a Gift from the Gift Collection. The Gift is then shipped to the Eligible Recipient, either by Loop & Tie or by a third party. However, when the Gift is a choice from the Gift Collection, the Eligible Recipient can choose a gift they will love or gift-it-forward to their favorite social cause.
4.3 Additional Services. In addition to the basic Service described above, Loop & Tie offers certain enhanced products and features, which include access to premium data and analytics, marketing tools and other business-related services (“Paid Services”) that you will be able to utilize upon payment of the applicable subscription fees set forth on the Pricing Page of our Site. Our Paid Services includes our “Platform Service”, which enables you to send Gift Links outside of our marketplace collections, including your own branded gifts. Using our Platform Service requires that you enter into our Master Platform Services Agreement with us. For further information, please contact our sales group at hello@loopandtie.com. If we make Paid Services available to you and you elect to acquire Paid Services, you agree to any additional terms applicable to such Paid Services as contained in the applicable Supplemental Agreement and to pay the then current fees for such Paid Services as set forth on the Pricing Page or Supplemental Agreement, as applicable, and in accordance with the pricing terms set forth therein. As provided in Section 2.3 of these Terms, if there is an inconsistency between these Terms and the provisions of a Supplemental Agreement, the terms of the Supplemental Agreement will control.
4.4 Modifications to Services. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services, including our Paid Services (or any part or feature thereof), with or without notice in our sole discretion. These changes could include changes to our pricing or the addition of new fees, but in these cases, we will provide notice of these changes to you via information posted on the Site before these changes go into effect. You agree that Loop & Tie shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services or any particular Service.
4.5 Paid Services. If you elect to purchase a subscription to any of our Paid Services, you authorize us to charge you for your initial subscription period and a recurring annual subscription fee at the then current rate, which may change from time to time as reflected on the Pricing Page or as provided in the applicable Supplemental Agreement to which you are a party. Your first annual subscription cycle (“Subscription Cycle”) will be billed immediately. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise or you terminate prior to the end of the then current Subscription Cycle, your subscription will automatically renew each year and you will be billed on the same date each year. Fees are based on products and services purchased at the subscription levels chosen by you and not actual usage. Features purchased cannot be decreased during the applicable Subscription Cycle.
5. Loop & Tie Gifts
5.1 Our Gift Selection. We are not the manufacturer of any of the goods that comprise the Gifts we select and offer through our Platform.

Business User Accounts will be subject to additional terms and conditions if a subscription service is purchased. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT OPEN A BUSINESS USER ACCOUNT AND MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES AS A BUSINESS USER.
You will also be required to select a password personal to you. We will not have access to your password. It is a condition to your use of the Site and our Services, that the information you provide to us for any purpose, including registering a Business Account, is correct, current, and complete when you provide it, and you agree that you will do so.

You acknowledge that your Account is personal to you, and you agree not to provide any other person or entity with access to the Site using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your Account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

- if you violate any of these Terms;

- if we determine termination is necessary to comply with these Terms, any of our policies, procedures or practices, or any law, rule or regulation.
9. Completing a Purchase
9.1 Purchasing L&T Credits. The first step in completing your Gift transaction is for you to create a Business Account and purchase L&T Credits to enable you to purchase and send Gift Links to your chosen Eligible Recipients. L&T Credits are the currency required by our Platform for you to purchase Gift Links. All purchases of L&T Credits must be in U.S. currency and must be made via major credit card. However, if you have subscribed to any of our Paid Services, then payment may also be made by any method permitted by the terms of the Supplemental Agreement applicable to those Paid Services. All purchases of L&T Credits are final, nonrefundable, nonexchangeable and nontransferable. This is to be distinguished from canceling Gift Links, which is permissible under the circumstances described in Section 9.5 below entitled “Canceling Gift Links''. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the L&T Credits a Business User purchases must be sent to one or more Eligible Recipients within one year of date of purchase or such L&T Credits will expire. Additionally, unless prohibited by applicable law, a Gift Link will expire unless the Eligible Recipient uses its Gift Link (by redeeming the Gift associated with that Gift Link) no later than (a) the date you specify in the Gift Link or (b) the one-year anniversary of the date that the Eligible Recipients received the Gift Link.
9.2 L&T Credits. All Gifts Links are required to be paid for by you with virtual credits that you purchase from us (“L&T Credits”). L&T Credits are purchased either a la carte or as part of a package at the prices set forth on our Site or in the Supplemental Agreement you entered into with us and are paid for in accordance with the payment terms of these Terms and the Supplemental Agreement, if applicable. All your L&T Credits are automatically debited when you send Gift Links to Eligible Recipients. L&T Credits can only be used on our Platform to purchase Gift Links from Loop & Tie that will be sent to Eligible Recipients. Any L&T Credits associated with your Account do not reflect a cash value or balance of U.S. Dollars, cryptocurrency or any other form of currency and do not bear interest. Unauthorized or fraudulent use, resale, acquisition, or distribution of L&T Credits is prohibited. Loop & Tie may cancel, revoke, or otherwise prevent the issuance of L&T Credits if Loop & Tie suspects any unauthorized or fraudulent use of L&T Credits or if Loop & Tie mistakenly credits your account with L&T Credits.
9.3 Account Balance. When you purchase L&T Credits, there will either be a debit or charge to your “Payment Method” (as defined in Section 10.2 below entitled “Payment Methods”) and a credit to your Account balance.
9.4 Gift Links; Sending Gifts. Once you have L&T Credits in your Account balance, you can use those L&T Credits to purchase and electronically send one or more Gift Links to the Eligible Recipients of your choice. Each Gift Link is either a specific link to the Gift that you chose for the Eligible Recipient or a link to a Gift Collection containing potential Gifts from which the Eligible Recipient is given the ability to choose or select gift-it-forward to his or her favorite social cause. Gift Links cannot be used for any purpose or on any site other than the Loop & Tie Site and are not assignable except for gifting forward. Gift Links cannot be used in part and must instead be used in full to select and receive a Gift that is the same value as the Gift included in the Gift Link.
9.5 Canceling Gift Links. All Gift Link purchases are final and cannot be returned by the Eligible Recipient nor refunded to you once sent to the Eligible Recipient, and will be counted toward the total number of Gift Links purchased by you during the applicable Subscription Cycle if you subscribed to a Paid Service, even if (a) the Eligible Recipient fails to redeem the Gift Link for a Gift, or (b) the Gift Link is cancelled by you, or (c) the Gift Link is sent to an incorrect email address, or (d) the email address to which the Gift Link was sent bounces or otherwise does not function, or (e) the Gift Link is declined by the Eligible Recipient. Loop & Tie will not credit your Account for such declined or unused Gift Links, except as required by law. This is to be distinguished from cancelling a Gift Link sent to a particular Eligible Recipient before it is redeemed by that Eligible Recipient. That is permitted to enable you to send the canceled Gift Link to a different Eligible Recipient.
9.6 Exercising Gift Links. The Gift Links you send to Eligible Recipients must be redeemed within one year from the date you sent the particular Gift Link, at which time it will automatically expire. When an Eligible Recipient desires to redeem a Gift Link, the Eligible Recipient must visit the Site, select the applicable Gift, and provide a valid shipping address in a jurisdiction that is not subject to U.S. sanction laws. The Eligible Recipient is responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information to receive a Gift. Shipping & handling costs may be added to the cost of the Gift. Loop & Tie disclaims all liability for any act or decision by any Eligible Recipient to redeem or refuse to redeem a Gift Link, for any other act or omission of any Eligible Recipient, or for any lost, stolen, or misdirected Gift Link to the extent not caused by Loop & Tie.
9.7 Availability of Gifts. The availability of any specific Gift is not guaranteed. Loop & Tie reserves the right to discontinue stocking individual Gifts, discontinue and substitute Gifts within Gift Collections and discontinue entire Gift Collections at any time without notice to you or any Eligible Recipient. Consequently, individual Gifts, Gifts within Gift Collections and even Gift Collections may not be available at the time the Eligible Recipient redeems a Gift Link. Should a selected Gift or Gift Collection no longer be available, Loop & Tie will attempt to notify the Eligible Recipient after the Eligible Recipient’s redemption attempt, at which time the Eligible Recipient may choose to receive a substitute Gift, or Loop & Tie may provide a similar but different Gift of comparable value.
9.8 International Gifts Collections. Gifts can only be given to Eligible Recipients, which requires that the person or entity you want to send the Gift Link to is not sanctioned under U.S. sanctions laws and the shipping destination of the Gift is not located in a jurisdiction that is sanctioned under U.S. sanction laws.
9.9 Shipping Risk. Loop & Tie shall have no liability to you or to any Eligible Recipient for loss or damage to any Gift incurred in the shipping process. However, if you or the Eligible Recipient provides evidence of damage that we conclude in our reasonable judgment establishes that the Gift was damaged during shipment, we may in our sole discretion send you a replacement Gift in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9.10 below entitled “Gift Returns and Refunds”.
9.10 Gift Returns and Refunds. A Gift Link may only be redeemed by an Eligible Recipient directly on the Site and cannot be exchanged for cash, in whole or in part, unless required by law. All Gift selections are final, i.e. once an Eligible Recipient has selected a Gift, the Recipient may not return or exchange that Gift. Gifts may not be returned unless they are deemed damaged upon receipt by the Eligible Recipient and the Eligible Recipient contacts us and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the Gift is in fact damaged. All such returns must be coordinated directly with Loop & Tie by contacting customer service at hello@loopandtie.com. If we conclude that the Gift was damaged during delivery, we will replace the defective Gift at no cost to you with either the same product or, if the same product is not in stock, then with a similar product of our choice of comparable value. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR MAKE GOODS FOR ANY UNUSED L&T CREDITS, UNSENT GIFTS, OR UNDELIVERABLE OR UNOPENED GIFT LINKS, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
9.11 Reservation of Rights. Loop & Tie reserves the right to refuse any purchase that you attempt to make with us, for any or no reason unless such reason is unlawful.
10. Fees and Payments
10.1 Fees. By using the Platform to send Gifts Links, you agree to timely pay Loop & Tie all of the fees required by these Terms and any and all Supplemental Agreements to which you are a party.
10.2 Payment Methods. You are required to provide us with a current valid method of payment acceptable to us, which includes major credit cards or any payment method included in the Supplemental Agreement you entered into with us, if any (“Payment Method”) before you can purchase any L&T Credits. You must provide complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notify us of any changes to your billing and contact information.
10.3 Payment Authorization. You hereby authorize Loop & Tie to charge your Payment Method for all L&T Credits you purchase.
10.4 Change Payment Methods. You may change your Payment Method information by logging onto our Site and editing it in your account settings or emailing us at hello@loopandtie.com. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise, you nonetheless will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method. If we cannot charge your Payment Method and you do not have an Account balance that we can charge, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to terminate your access to our Site and Services or any portion thereof.
10.5 Payment Disputes. Loop & Tie will not exercise its termination rights under these Terms if you are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and you are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

By “Business Users”, we mean a user (which can include individuals and companies) that wishes to send a Gift Link as part of a business promotion, as a reward to a loyal employee or for some other lawful business purpose. Our Terms for Personal Users and for Business Users are different. The Terms as set forth in this Section and below are for Personal Users.

4. Our Services
4.1 Our Mission. Our mission is to create gifting experiences for all of our users that offer unparalleled visibility, efficiency, and flexibility by providing gifting related products and services (the “Services”) through our state-of-the-art gifting platform (the “Platform”) found at www.loopandtie.com (such site, and any other web site, web widget, mobile application, or other similar platform, owned, controlled, operated or offered by us, the “Site”).
4.2 Description of the Services. We want to make the use of our Site and Services simple and hassle free for all of our users. After properly accessing the Site, you start your gift experience by creating an account, purchasing L&T Credits (as defined in Section 9.2 below), and acquiring one or more links to send gifts (each gift being referred to in these Terms as a “Gift” and each such link being referred to in these Terms as a “Gift Link”) to a person or entity of your choice that qualifies as an “Eligible Recipient”. To be an “Eligible Recipient”, the shipping address provided by the person or entity you chose as your recipient must be located in a jurisdiction that is not subject to sanction under U.S. sanctions laws and that person or entity must not be sanctioned under U.S. sanctions laws. The Gift Link could be a link to a specific gift chosen by you or to a particular collection of gift choices we offer (each, a “Gift Collection”). You then email the Gift Link to your Eligible Recipient and once your Eligible Recipient receives that email, he or she simply clicks on the Gift Link to receive the Gift you chose or to select a Gift from the Gift Collection. The Gift is then shipped to the Eligible Recipient, either by Loop & Tie or by a third party. However, when the Gift is a choice from the Gift Collection, the Eligible Recipient can choose a gift they will love or gift-it-forward to their favorite social cause.
4.3 Modifications to Services. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part or feature thereof) with or without notice in our sole discretion. These changes could include changes to our pricing or the addition of new fees, but in these cases, we will provide notice of these changes to you via information posted on the Site before these changes go into effect. You agree that Loop & Tie shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services or any particular Service.
5. Loop & Tie Gifts

We reserve the right to make changes or substitutions to our Gift selection in our sole discretion and without notice to you. Loop & Tie does not guarantee that any specific Gift will be available at any time and does not provide refunds for Gifts that may be unavailable at the time of redemption.

9. Completing a Purchase
9.1 Purchasing L&T Credits. The first step in completing your Gift transaction is for you to create a Personal Account and purchase L&T Credits to enable you to purchase and send Gift Links to your chosen Eligible Recipients. L&T Credits are the currency required by our Platform for you to purchase Gift Links. All purchases of L&T Credits must be in the currency of the United States via major credit card. Except as provided by Section 10.6 below (See Cooling Off Period), all purchases of L&T Credits are final and nonrefundable, nonexchangeable and nontransferable. This is to be distinguished from canceling Gift Links, which is permissible under the circumstances described in Section 9.5 below entitled “Canceling Gift Links''. Your L&T Credits do not expire and may be used by you to send Gift Links to Eligible Recipients any time before those Gift Links are redeemed.
9.2 L&T Credits. All Gifts Links are required to be paid for by you with virtual credits that you purchase from us (“L&T Credits”). L&T Credits are purchased either a la carte or as part of a package at the prices set forth on our Site. All your L&T Credits are automatically debited when you send Gift Links to Eligible Recipients. L&T Credits can only be used on our Platform to purchase Gift Links from Loop & Tie that will be sent to Eligible Recipients. Any L&T Credits associated with your Account do not reflect a cash value or balance of U.S. Dollars, cryptocurrency or any other form of currency and do not bear interest. Unauthorized or fraudulent use, resale, acquisition, or distribution of L&T Credits is prohibited. Loop & Tie may cancel, revoke, or otherwise prevent the issuance of L&T Credits if Loop & Tie suspects any unauthorized or fraudulent use of L&T Credits or if Loop & Tie mistakenly credits your account with L&T Credits.
9.3 Account Balance. When you purchase L&T Credits, there will either be a debit or charge to your “Payment Method” (as defined in Section 10.2 below entitled “Payment Methods”) and a credit to your Account balance.
9.4 Gift Links; Sending Gifts. Once you have L&T Credits in your Account balance, you can use those L&T Credits to purchase and electronically send one or more Gift Links to the Eligible Recipients of your choice. Each Gift Link is either a specific link to the Gift that you chose for the Eligible Recipient or a link to a Gift Collection containing potential Gifts from which the Eligible Recipient is given the ability to choose or select gift-it-forward to his or her favorite social cause. Gift Links cannot be used for any purpose or on any site other than the Loop & Tie Site and are not assignable except for gifting forward. Gift Links cannot be used in part and must instead be used in full to select and receive a Gift that is the same value as the Gift included in the Gift Link.
9.5 Canceling Gift Links. A Gift Link designated for a particular Eligible Recipient may be canceled prior to that Eligible Recipient’s redemption of that Gift Link. You may then send that canceled Gift Link to another Eligible Recipient.
9.6 Exercising Gift Links. The Gift Links you send to Eligible Recipients can be redeemed at any time by the Eligible Recipient; they do not expire. When an Eligible Recipient desires to redeem a Gift Link, the Eligible Recipient must visit the Site, select the applicable Gift, and provide a valid shipping address in a jurisdiction that is not subject to U.S. sanction laws. The Eligible Recipient is responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information to receive a Gift. Shipping & handling costs may be added to the cost of the Gift. Loop & Tie disclaims all liability for any act or decision by any Eligible Recipient to redeem or refuse to redeem a Gift Link, for any other act or omission of any Eligible Recipient, or for any lost, stolen, or misdirected Gift Link to the extent not caused by Loop & Tie.
9.7 Availability of Gifts. The availability of any specific Gift is not guaranteed. Loop & Tie reserves the right to discontinue stocking individual Gifts, discontinue and substitute Gifts within Gift Collections and discontinue entire Gift Collections at any time without notice to you or any Eligible Recipient. Consequently, individual Gifts, Gifts within Gift Collections and even Gift Collections may not be available at the time the Eligible Recipient redeems a Gift Link. Should a selected Gift or Gift Collection no longer be available, Loop & Tie will attempt to notify the Eligible Recipient after the Eligible Recipient’s redemption attempt, at which time the Eligible Recipient may choose to receive a substitute Gift, or Loop & Tie may provide a similar but different Gift of comparable value.
9.8 International Gifts Collections. Gifts can only be given to Eligible Recipients, which requires that the person or entity you want to send the Gift Link to is not sanctioned under U.S. sanctions laws and the shipping destination of the Gift is not located in a jurisdiction that is sanctioned under U.S. sanction laws.
9.9 Shipping Risk. Loop & Tie shall have no liability to you or to any Eligible Recipient for loss or damage to any Gift incurred in the shipping process. However, if you or the Eligible Recipient provides evidence of damage that we conclude in our reasonable judgment establishes that the Gift was damaged during shipment, we may in our sole discretion send you a replacement Gift in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9.10 below entitled “Gift Returns and Refunds”.
9.10 Gift Returns and Refunds. A Gift Link may only be redeemed by an Eligible Recipient directly on the Site and cannot be exchanged for cash, in whole or in part, unless required by law. All Gift selections are final, i.e. once an Eligible Recipient has selected a Gift, the Recipient may not return or exchange that Gift. Gifts may not be returned unless they are deemed damaged upon receipt by the Eligible Recipient and the Eligible Recipient contacts us and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the Gift is in fact damaged. All such returns must be coordinated directly with Loop & Tie by contacting customer service at hello@loopandtie.com. If we conclude that the Gift was damaged during delivery, we will replace the defective Gift at no cost to you with either the same product or, if the same product is not in stock, then with a similar product of our choice of comparable value. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR MAKE GOODS FOR ANY UNUSED L&T CREDITS, UNSENT GIFTS, OR UNDELIVERABLE OR UNOPENED GIFT LINKS, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
9.11 Reservation of Rights. Loop & Tie reserves the right to refuse any purchase that you attempt to make with us, for any or no reason unless such reason is unlawful.

10.5 Payment Disputes. Loop & Tie will not exercise its termination rights under these Terms if you are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and you are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
10.6 Payment Refunds; Cooling Off Period. Generally, payment obligations for the purchase of L&T Credits are non-cancellable and fees are nonrefundable unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase. However, if you are a User located in the United Kingdom or European Union you may cancel a purchase of L&T Credits or other Products and Services at any time within a 14-day cooling-off period starting the day after the date of your Gift Link Purchase. To cancel a purchase, you must clearly inform Loop & Tie, preferably (a) by sending an email to hello@loopandtie.com providing your name, address, and any order reference number, or (b) by completing and mailing a cancellation form. If you cancel a purchase within the cooling-off period and before using any L&T Credits, the full purchase of the L&T Credits will be refunded. If you cancel a purchase of L&T Credits purchased within the cooling-off period but have already used some of the L&T Credits, the value of the purchased L&T Credits used will be deducted from any refund due to you on a pro rata basis. Loop & Tie tracks L&T Credits, and our Customer Support will advise you of the amount of refund when contacted. Refunds will be processed as soon as commercially reasonable and, in any case, within 14 days of receipt of your cancellation request. Refunds will be made by the same method originally used to pay for the purchase, unless agreed otherwise.
