Such personal information may include your name, city, state and zipcode, and email address. We do not see or store your credit card information, bank account and routing numbers, since that data is securely encrypted and passed directly to our PCI compliant payment processor. Before you use the Services, we may also require you to provide additional information that we can use to verify your identity, such as your date of birth or other information. Finally, we may obtain information about you from other sources, including third party websites or applications that offer the Pivvit Services, and combine that with information we collect on our Sites and through our Services.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.

If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Sites or Services. Please note that you may also encounter cookies from third parties when using the Pivvit Services on websites that we do not control.

Web Beacons. We may also collect information using Web beacons. Web beacons are electronic images that may be used on our Sites, in our Services or in our emails. We use Web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Information from Other Sources. Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or other services; search term and search result information from search results and links, including paid listings (such as Sponsored Links); and credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and to offer certain credit or financial services to some customers.

Use of Personal Information We Collect

We use personal information collected through our Sites and Services for purposes described in this Policy or otherwise disclosed to you. For example, we may use personal information to:

· operate and improve our Sites and Services;

· respond to your comments and questions and provide customer service;

· process transactions and send you related information, including confirmations, receipts, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share your personal information with the person or company that you are paying, or that is transferring money to you, for purposes of processing the transaction. We may also share your personal information with payment processors, banks and other entities in the financial system to process your transactions and maintain your account. We may also share your unique user ID with third parties that integrate the Pivvit services into their sites and applications; however, we will not share any personal information with these third parties.

We may also share your personal information with third party vendors, consultants and other service providers who work on our behalf (e.g., fraud and identity theft prevention and security auditing services). Furthermore, to verify your identity, we may share your personal information with third-party identity-verification services such as Inflection and/or Lexus Nexus.

Finally, we may also share your information as follows:

We may also share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you.

Security of Your Personal Information

Pivvit takes measures to help protect your personal information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We do not see or store your credit card information, bank account and routing numbers, since that data is securely encrypted and passed directly to our PCI compliant payment processor, which reveals only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, our payment processor transmits the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer or mobile device. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Your Information Choices and Changes

In general, our policy is to NOT send you promotional emails from Pivvit, unless related to specific purchases or donations you have made on our Site. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from Pivvit by following the instructions in those emails or by emailing us at [email protected]. If you opt out, we may still send you important non-promotional emails, such as emails about your accounts or our ongoing business relations. In addition, you can review and edit your personal information at any time by logging into your account.

CONDITIONS OF USE: BUYERS

 

BUYER PROTECTION POLICY

We require Pivvit Providers to comply with our Buyer Protection resolution process. Buyers and Providers permit us to make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any claim that a buyer opens with Pivvit under the Pivvit Buyer Protection Policy. If we resolve a dispute in the buyer's favor, we will attempt to reimburse the buyer by reversing the funds from the Provider’s Pivvit account used in the transaction. If that is not possible, we will refund the buyer up to the full cost of the item (including any applicable sales taxes), and we will require the Provider to reimburse us for the amount due to the buyer. We may place the reimbursement amount on the Provider’s invoice and charge the seller’s automatic payment method on file with Pivvit, if any, for such reimbursement amount. Without limiting the foregoing, Providers may not have to reimburse us for a Pivvit Buyer Protection claim if they provide the documentation (for example, delivery confirmation or proof that the item was as described) indicated in the Pivvit Buyer Protection Policy.

 

Correcting Mistakes in Payments to Buyers or Providers. We reserve the right to fix any processing errors we discover. We will correct any processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the Pivvit Buyer Protection refund or reimbursement.

 

 

PURCHASE CONDITIONS

You are responsible for reading the full item listing, including any instructions from the Provider, before making a commitment to buy or donate. Unless otherwise stated, by making a commitment to buy or donate on Pivvit, you are committing to buy or donate from that particular Provider. If you make a commitment to buy, you enter into a legally binding contract with the Provider and are obligated to purchase the item or make the donation. For motor vehicles and real estate, an offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a buyer's serious expression of interest in buying the seller's item and does not create a formal contract between the buyer and the seller. 

 

We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the Provider to the buyer. Utah Code Annotated § 70A-2-401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2) apply to the transfer of ownership between the buyer and the Provider, unless the buyer and the Provider agree otherwise.

 

 

OFFERING DESCRIPTIONS

Pivvit attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Pivvit does not warrant that Offering descriptions or other content of any Pivvit Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If an Offering listed on Pivvit itself is not as described, your sole remedies are to return the Offering in unused condition, seek a refund from the Provider, or to file a Dispute through Settings Dispute on Pivvit.com.

 

 

PRICING

Except where noted otherwise, the List Price or Suggested Price displayed for Offerings on any Pivvit Service represents the full retail price listed on the product or service itself, set by the Provider, plus any associated taxes or fees.

 

 

REFUNDS FOR EVENT REGISTRATIONS

All refunds for event registrations are handled exclusively by Event Organizers which are independent of Pivvit. Pivvit is not responsible for handling or communicating an Event Organizer's refund policy or processing refunds. Event Organizers agree that they are solely responsible for providing information concerning their refund policy. If you wish to seek a refund for an event registration, you must communicate directly with the Event Organizer and not Pivvit. Event registrants and Event Organizers acknowledge that Pivvit will not be liable, accountable or responsible in any way for anything related to refunds for event registrations, including without limitation, an error processing a refund, the failure to provide a refund, the failure of an Event Organizer to communicate about a refund, or any chargebacks related to a refund. Simply put, you have to deal with an Event Organizer concerning a refund and Event Organizers agree to deal exclusively with event registrants concerning refunds.

 

 

CONDITIONS OF USE: PROVIDERS

 

LISTING CONDITIONS

By listing an item on Pivvit's sites, you agree to pay credit card fees and Pivvit fees, to assume full responsibility for the content of the Offering listed, and to accept the following listing conditions: When you list an item or service on Pivvit's sites, your listing will be posted on Pivvit's sites. Pivvit reserves the right to end your listing for any reason. Where and whether your listing appears in search and browse results may be based on certain factors including, but not limited to, listing format, title, keywords, price, and detailed Provider ratings.

 

PROVIDER’S AGREEMENT

 

• Provider must have a reimbursement method on file with Pivvit and agree to allow us to charge the method they designate for amounts due to buyers. Provider may change this reimbursement method by contacting Pivvit.
• Provider agrees to allow us to remove funds from their Pivvit accounts for amounts due to buyers.  Provider agrees to allow us to remove funds from their Pivvit accounts in currency other than the currency of transaction that is the subject of the claim where they do not have sufficient funds available in that particular currency.

 

Changing a reimbursement method will not affect Pivvit's use of a payment method on file for other purposes (such as payment of your Pivvit fees). If Provider does not provide Pivvit with a valid reimbursement method, we may collect amounts owed using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies. We may also suspend or restrict Providers from buying or selling on our sites and using our services, applications, and tools until payment is made.

 

HOLDS

To protect against the risk of liability, Pivvit has at times requested, and may continue to hold Provider funds based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, seller performance, riskiness of the listing category, fraud risk of buyers, or the filing of an Pivvit Buyer Protection claim. 

 

CONTACTING DEFAULT PROVIDERS

We may share your telephone numbers with our service providers (such as billing or collections companies) who we have contracted with to assist us in pursuing our rights or performing our obligations under the User Agreement, our policies, or any other agreement we may have with you. These service providers may also contact you using autodialed or prerecorded messages calls and/or SMS or other text messages, only as authorized by us to carry out the purposes we have identified above, and not for their own purposes.

 

 

PIVVIT SOFTWARE TERMS

In addition to these Conditions of Use, the terms found here apply to any software (including any updates or upgrades to the software and any related documentation) that we make available to you from time to time for your use in connection with Pivvit Services (the "Pivvit Software").

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals or the content of their Web sites.

DONATIONS TO CHARITIES THROUGH PIVVIT

Pivvit normally sends the donations it collects to Charities each month.  These payment schedules are subject to change at any time at the sole discretion of Pivvit.  Charities will receive their payments less the processing fees charged by credit card and ACH payment processors, unless the donor has elected to pay for the transaction fees. Pivvit normally charges no transaction fees for donations. Charities will be responsible for taxes based on their net income or gross receipts.

 

SPECIAL NOTICES FOR CHARITIES

Pivvit provides instructive emails to Charities to assist them in more effectively using the Site and Services. Upon request from an authorized individual affiliated with a Charity, Pivvit will provide online reports identifying, where available, the name, address, email and transaction accounting (including amount of donation) details related to the individuals or entities that have made donations to the nonprofit and have opted to share certain information, such as their names and email address with the nonprofit.  In order to receive this donor data, the nonprofit agrees to not share or sell that data with outside parties.

DISCLAIMER CONCERNING TAX DEDUCTIBLE NATURE OF DONATIONS

Pivvit makes no representation as to whether all or any portion of your donations, including, if any, processing fees, (collectively, "Donations") are tax deductible. Pivvit will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any Donation by you, any Pivvit user, or any Charity. You should consult your tax advisor as to the amount of your Donation that is tax deductible, particularly if you are awarded a gift or prize in connection with your donation.

DISPUTES

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any Pivvit Service, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Pivvit or through Pivvit.com will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

 

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: PIVVIT INC, 5800 Valerian Lane, North Bethesda MD 20852. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

 

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

 

APPLICABLE LAW

By using any Pivvit Service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Pivvit.

 

SITE POLICIES AND MODIFICATION

Please review our other policies, such as our Pricing Policy, posted on this site. These policies also govern your use of Pivvit Services. We reserve the right to make changes to our site, policies, Service Terms, and these Conditions of Use at any time.
