RISK OF LOSS
All purchases of physical items from Successories are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
ORDERS & TRANSACTIONS
All orders and purchases of goods and/or services submitted electronically via our website or through email or over the phone with an authorized Successories representative are subject to all applicable charges and fees. For more information about ordering, please see our Ordering & Shipping page.
RETURNS, REFUNDS AND TITLE
Successories does not take title to returned items until the item arrives at our fulfillment center. At our discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring a return. In this situation, Successories does not take title to the refunded item. For more information about our returns and refunds, please see our Returns & Exchanges page.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Successories attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, Successories does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of any Successories Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Successories itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition as described in our policy on our Returns & Exchanges page.
Due to high seasonal demand and supply chain issues, in order to best supply goods and services, Successories reserves the right to substitute back order products with similar items of equal or greater value. In those instances, Successories will be ship the equivalent product without previous notification of the substitution.
PRICING
"List Price" means the suggested retail price of a product as provided by a manufacturer, supplier, or seller. We regularly check List Prices against prices recently found on Successories and other retailers. Certain products may have a "Was Price" displayed, which is determined using recent price history of the product on Successories.
With respect to items sold by Successories, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If the correct price of an item sold by Successories is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
We generally do not charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process or, for digital products, until we make the digital product available to you. With respect to our imprinting processes on promotional products, we reserve the right to ship and bill up to 10% over or under the quantity ordered.
Promotional Pricing
"Quantity Discounts" and "Sale Price" are special promotional discounted prices off "List Price" or "Retail Price". Sometimes when we lower prices as part of a promotion, other retailers will decrease their own prices in response. As a result, we may decrease our price during the promotion, and after the promotion our price may be the same or even lower than the original promotional price in order to offer you consistently low prices.
Price Matching
Successories consistently works toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. Successories doesn't offer price matching.
Shopping Cart Prices
Items in your Shopping Cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item's product detail page. This price may differ from the price shown for the item when you first placed it in your cart. Placing an item in your cart doesn't reserve the price shown at that time. It is also possible that an item's price may decrease between the time you place it in your cart and the time you purchase it.
Note: You're not charged until after your order has entered the shipping process. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. This applies only to products sold and shipped by FineAwards.com.
Compliance
Successories works with many suppliers and factories each vetted for high quality materials, product selection, and manufacturing capabilities to offer you the best, most innovated, and widest selection of products available. Although Successories doesn't own the end-to-end process of all products sold, Successories ensures that all products sold meet all applicable federal safety requirements as enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission.
Successories is committed to applying the highest safety standards to our products while conducting business in an ethical and socially responsible way.
California Proposition 65 (Prop 65)
Successories products that are shipped to California are also subject to Proposition 65, www.p65warnings.ca.gov, which is known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Proposition 65 required businesses to give clear and reasonable warning to purchase prior to completing the purchase regarding chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For a plain language version of the Proposition 65 regulations, please visit: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html
If for any reason a product is known to Successories not to comply with all Prop 65 standards, the product will have a Prop 65 warning applied to it when the product is known to be shipped to California.
Successories cannot test every piece of every order that we ship to California for every one of the Proposition 65 listed 850 chemicals, and you may continue to have concerns about compliance with Proposition 65. If so, then the safest option is to include a label on each product that may ship to the State of California which we will do free of charge upon request. The label will read as follows and will ensure full compliance with California Proposition 65 requirements:
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.p65warnings.ca.gov
Do to the nature of Successories products as promotional marketing materials and awards & recognition gifts, original packaging and warning labels may be removed and distributed by end-users in the state of California without Successories knowledge. Due to this, by purchasing from Successories, you agree to fully defend, indemnify and hold Successories harmless from any alleged violations of Proposition 65 concerning products purchased from Successories or any of its subsidiaries including any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, imposts, fees, costs, losses, and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)

Successories MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE Successories SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE Successories SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.

DISPUTES
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any Successories Service, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Successories or through FineAwards.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 Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our more recent corporate address: click here. 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. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Successories will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 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 Successories Service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Successories.
