Terms and Conditions between GiveAshare.com and Buyer


Please read the Terms & Conditions below and if you have any questions or need any clarifications, contact us before placing your order.  GiveAshare.com is owned by Leading Edge Gifts LLC.  Placing an order on the GiveAshare.com website constitutes your agreement to all such terms & conditions.

SHIPPING OPTIONS
These options impact what is received, and when it is received:
KEEPING YOUR GIFT A SURPRISE
It is possible for the company whose stock you are buying to send mail (dividends, annual reports, W9 etc.) to the recipient before you have given the gift.  This can happen as early as 1 1/2 weeks from your order date. In order to keep your gift a surprise, you must select "2 Part Delivery" as your shipping option AND enter your surprise gift date during checkout and we will take care of the rest. For more information click here.

SECURITIES INFORMATION
GiveAshare provides an innovative gift by allowing customers to easily and affordably buy a real share of stock as a gift. Although this is real stock, we do not market our product as an investment nor do we in any way provide investment advice. GiveAshare is not a broker-dealer but complies with the criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission including selling in only one-share increments, selling only framed stock, marketing as a gift an not as an investment, and selling at no less that two times the trading price of the stock.

RETURN POLICY
We are very interested in making sure that our customers are satisfied. We pledge to provide you with innovative products with exceptional quality and value and with customer service that exceeds your needs. Part of what makes this an exciting product is that it is REAL stock that must be formally registered with a transfer agent and the plaque is PERSONALIZED with your words. While this adds to the uniqueness of the product it also imposes some of the responsibility for a quality product on you, the purchaser.  Help us ensure that you get what you want by doing the following:

Note that refund and cancellation terms apply to the purchaser and not the recipient of a gift.

Your credit card is charged when you place your order. When you enter your order you have three opportunities to verify your entries 1) an on-line confirmation; 2) an email confirmation and 3) an online order status. 

Our refund policy is designed to refund you as much as possible but considers any costs we have incurred which is dependent on what you buy and when you change or cancel your order.  Below is the approximate timing of when we incur costs.  We will make this calculation at the time of the change/cancellation and will not charge you if we have not incurred the cost.

Plaque Engraving
Once your plaque is engraved (can be started as early as 1 business day) we cannot refund the plaque price and we will have to charge for changes.
  
Stock Registration
 Once we start the legal stock registration process (can be started as early as 3 business days), it cannot be stopped so we cannot refund the stock portion (including giftize fee) of your order.  You cannot change the registration after it has been started but the new shareholder can have it changed after the certificate is received.  This is because the transfer agent will only recognize direction from the new shareholder.   We can provide help on how to do this.
 
Shipping
Once we ship your product (timing of shipment depends on what is ordered - Non-stock 2 Part Delivery orders can be shipped as early as same-day while Normal stock orders can take 3-7 weeks), we cannot provide a refund.  It is possible to get a partial refund for items returned to us IF returned (at your cost) in new condition and salvageable (note that acrylic, plaque, stock, and mats are not salvageable). 

GiveAshare.com will replace the following at no charge as long as we are notified within 1 week of receipt, call toll-free 1-866-291-9918 or email for instructions:
INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS
We reserve the right to not process orders from countries with high incidents of credit card fraud or shipping loss.
Some countries may charge additional taxes or custom duties/fees upon delivery which are not included in the price.

PAPER CERTIFICATES
In the unlikely event that the company you buy makes a decision to stop issuing physical certificates after your order is placed, GiveAshare will frame a realistic copy of the company's last paper certificate design with the shareholder's name. This will look like the real thing, is personalized, and will reference the fact that the ownership is held electronically.

The real proof of electronic ownership will be evidenced by a statement and account number sent directly to the shareholder by the transfer agent. Electronic ownership is no different than having a physical certificate and the shareholder is entitled to all the same benefits.

RISK OF DAMAGE OR LOSS DURING SHIPMENT
During checkout, you the customer, are given a variety of shipping method options to select from to suit your needs for timing, cost, and risk. If you choose a shipping method that does NOT provide tracking or insurance (see below), you assume the risk of loss.

United Parcel Service (UPS) shipping methods provide insurance & door to door tracking however, UPS may charge additional customs fees (international orders only) which they collect upon delivery.

United States Postal Service (USPS) Shipping methods are more economical. With USPS: Global Express Mail, insurance is provided, but tracking is limited. All other USPS options do NOT provide tracking or insurance.
