Gift Redemption Policy
A Real Gift Services gift can only be redeemed at a merchant within the gift's designated purchase category. In order to redeem an alcoholic drink the individual must be over 21 years of age. It is not Real Gift Services' legal responsibility to ensure that a recipient of a Real Gift Services gift is over 21 years of age; rather, it is the responsibility of the person sending the gift and bars, restaurants, and other vendors to ensure that any person redeeming an alcoholic drink gift through our service is over 21 years of age.
Gift recipients will be reimbursed within approximately 3-5 business days for a qualifying transaction made on a card registered with GiveReal.com. If the dollar amount of a qualifying transaction exceeds the dollar amount of the gift, the balance will be paid on the credit card or debit card used by the gift recipient to make the qualifying transaction.
Real Gift Services and its affiliates have no control over and therefore take no responsibility for the quality of goods for which a gift is redeemed.
Redemption Deferral Policy
Unless otherwise specified, the gift recipient will be notified via email or another electronic messaging system upon making a qualifying transaction that triggers redemption of a gift. The recipient then has the right to reject a redemption within 24 hours of the notification, in which case the gift will be deferred for use at a future date.
Expiration
Give Real gifts have no expiration date. They can be redeemed as long as there is a balance remaining on the gift.
Transaction Fee
We charge senders a small transaction fee for every gift sent to a recipient.
Refund Policy
The giver can receive a full refund (including the transaction fee) within thirty (30) days of the purchase, provided the gift has not been accepted.
The giver can initiate a refund by sending an email to support@givereal.com with the following information:
- Date of Transaction
- Confirmation Code
- Dollar Amount of Transaction
- Email "sent to" (gift recipient's email address) and "sent from" (gift giver's email address).
- If no action is taken by the giver, the gift will be subject to dormancy and maintenance fees outlined below.
Dormancy & Maintenance Fees
If a gift has not been accepted,
- A $5 dormancy fee will be deducted from the gift at the beginning of the seventh (7th) month following the initial purchase date. Thereafter, a $2 maintenance fee will be deducted from the gift every month, until the gift balance reaches $0.
- givers will be notified at the beginning of the sixth (6th) month following the initial purchase that their gift has not been accepted, and if they wish to retract the gift, they can follow the instructions outlined in the refund policy above. If this is initiated after the thirty (30) day refund period, Give Real will retain any transaction fees paid.
If a gift has been accepted, but not fully redeemed, a $5 dormancy fee will be deducted from the gift at the beginning of the seventh (7th) month following the acceptance date. Thereafter, a $2 maintenance fee will be deducted from the gift every month, until the gift balance reaches $0.
These fees are void where prohibited.
Tracking the Gift’s Balance
The recipient can obtain the gift’s balance and information about previous transactions by logging into his/her Give Real account at www.givereal.com or apps.facebook.com/realdrinks, or by sending an e-mail with the relevant information to support@givereal.com.

Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, in the case of consumer disputes, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( the "AAA Consumer Rules") (collectively the "AAA Rules"). The location of the arbitration and the allocation of costs and fees for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with such AAA Rules and shall be subject to the limitations provided for in the AAA Consumer Rules (for consumer disputes).

Other Provisions
The failure of RGS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Terms of Service shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Terms of Service shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and remain enforceable between the parties. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. This Terms of Service, including RGS's policies governing the Service referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between RGS and you with respect to your use of the Service.
