4.10.
Deliveries
You are responsible for inspecting all Products for any damage or other issues
upon delivery. In addition, you are solely responsible for determining the
freshness of the Products you receive. We recommend that you use a thermometer
to ensure that the internal temperature of any meat, poultry or seafood Product
is 40° F or below. In the unlikely event that such temperature is above 40° F,
or you have any other reason to believe that any other Product in your delivery
or purchase is not suitable for consumption, contact us at
[email protected], or the applicable Third Party Channel, and discard the
item. To maintain the quality and integrity of the Products, we recommend that
you immediately refrigerate all perishable Products upon delivery or purchase and
follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions on
refrigeration and food safety, which can be found here. We recommend that you
follow the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling, which can be found here. We also recommend that
you use a food thermometer to ensure that all meat, poultry, seafood and other
applicable items are cooked to the USDA’s recommended internal temperatures,
which can be found here. Failure to follow safe
food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk
of foodborne illness. In addition, pregnant women, young children, the elderly
and individuals with compromised immune systems should follow the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration’s recommendations on food consumption for at-risk groups,
which can be found here.
If you are not at home when your meal delivery arrives, the courier will
generally leave the package for you at your door, unless other delivery
instructions have been communicated to you. Our meal ingredients may be
packaged with insulated liners and gel packs and unless otherwise indicated
will typically remain cold and fresh for several hours, but you should plan in
advance for immediate and proper storage of your meal ingredients upon
delivery. In certain areas, you may be able to provide additional delivery
instructions when setting up your Blue Apron account, such as requesting that
your delivery be left with a doorman or neighbor. Any individual at the
delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to
receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative
receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and
conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself.
Notwithstanding anything provided above, packaging of
and delivery instructions related to any Third Party Purchase may vary
depending on the applicable Third Party Channel; accordingly, for the purposes
of this Section 4.10, any deliveries of Third Party Purchases may be subject to
additional applicable Third Party Terms.
In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that
interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, we will attempt to deliver
your Order as soon as reasonably possible. In some cases, delivery may occur
prior to the scheduled delivery date. If timely delivery of your meal
ingredients is not feasible, we may cancel your meal delivery for the period so
affected and issue you a Credit (as defined below) or refund of the purchase
price for that meal delivery.
4.11.

You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products for commercial
purposes.
4.12.
Returns, Replacements, Refunds, and Credits
If you are dissatisfied with a meal or meal ingredient ordered on our Sites for
any reason, please contact us at [email protected] within seven (7) days of
the date you received the meal. Depending on the circumstances, we may, in our
sole discretion, replace the meal or meal ingredient at our expense, provide
you a full or partial refund of the purchase price for that meal or meal
ingredient, or provide you with Credits for that meal or meal ingredient that
will automatically be applied to future deliveries under your Meal Subscription
or Meal Purchases, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credits for
certain types of Meal Purchases may require additional action on your part
(e.g., application of a coupon code) in order to be applied to future
purchases, which shall be communicated to you at the time of issuance.
We may require the return or photographic documentation of any Product that you
are dissatisfied with before we provide you a refund, replacement, or Credit.
In certain circumstances, such as if we want to thank
you for your patience with a delayed delivery or to address another customer
service issue, we may provide you customer experience credits of promotional
value that will be automatically applied to your next eligible Order under your
Meal Subscription, or with respect to a Meal Purchase, as applicable
(“Credits”). Credits may only be redeemed for the type of Product for which
they were issued (i.e., Credits for a meal or meal ingredient may only be applied
to future deliveries under your Meal Subscription or a Meal Purchase, as
applicable). In addition to the foregoing, Credits for certain types of Meal
Purchases may only be applied to future deliveries of the specific type of Meal
Purchase for which they were issued. Credits are promotional in nature, are not
transferable, are not redeemable for cash or other property, and are subject to
expiration.
Credits only remain available if you maintain a valid
Blue Apron account. That means that if you cancel your Blue Apron account, any
outstanding Credits associated with your cancelled Blue Apron account, as
applicable, will immediately expire. You may only redeem Credits after they are
applied to your Blue Apron account. If for some reason you believe that there
is a discrepancy regarding your Credit balance, please contact us at
[email protected] for Meal Subscription or Meal Purchase-related Credit inquiries.
All decisions regarding your Credit balance will be determined in our sole
discretion and are final.
Notwithstanding anything provided above, for the purposes of this Section 4.12,
returns of and refunds for any Third Party Purchases will be subject to the
applicable Third Party Terms. If you are dissatisfied with any Third Party
Purchases, please contact the applicable Third Party Channel for their return
and refund policies.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue,

18. Dispute Resolution;
Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO
ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH BLUE APRON AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN
WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
SPECIFICALLY, THE FOLLOWING SECTION MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL
RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT FILED IN
COURT.
18.1.
Mutual Arbitration Agreement
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or
proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation
of Section 10 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual
action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for
the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without
limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or
patents, you and Blue Apron agree (a) to waive your and Blue Apron’s respective
rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or
the Sites, Content or Products (including, without limitation, Third Party
Purchases), resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Blue Apron’s
respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Blue Apron agree to
arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a
Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a
final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute
decided by a judge or jury in court).
You
and Blue Apron agree that all claims, disputes, or disagreements that may arise
out of the interpretation or performance of these Terms (including their
formation, performance, and breach) or payments by or to Blue Apron, or that in
any way relate to the provision or use of the Services, your relationship with
Blue Apron, or any other dispute with Blue Apron, shall be resolved exclusively
through binding arbitration in accordance with this Section18 (the
"Agreement"). This includes claims that arose, were asserted, or
involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior Agreement as
well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. This
Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") in all
respects, and evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. You and
Blue Apron expressly agree that the FAA shall exclusively govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. If for whatever reason the
rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing
arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply.
Except as set forth in this Section 18.1, the
arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have
exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and
this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part
thereof are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and
any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including
the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall
be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law
or in equity.
Notwithstanding
the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, each party
retains the right to (i) elect to have any claims resolved in small claims
court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such
court’s jurisdiction; (ii) bring an action in state or federal court to protect
its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights"
means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and
other confidential or proprietary information, but not privacy or publicity
rights); and (iii) seek a declaratory judgment, injunction, or other equitable
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party's claims
are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court. Seeking such relief
shall not waive a party's right to arbitration under this agreement, and any
filed arbitrations related to any action filed pursuant to this paragraph shall
automatically be stayed pending the outcome of such action.
You
and Blue Apron agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or
state court in New York, New York, in order to compel arbitration, to stay
proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter
judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and in connection with any
such proceeding, further agree to accept service of process by U.S. mail and
hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
Except as set forth in Section 18.2 below, if any
provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator
or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected
in the provision, and the other provisions thereof remain in full force and
effect.
THE
PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT ARBITRATION MEANS THAT AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR
JURY WILL DECIDE THE CLAIM, AND THAT RIGHTS TO PREHEARING EXCHANGE OF
INFORMATION AND APPEALS MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT YOU AND BLUE APRON ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
18.2.
Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver
YOU AND BLUE APRON ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EXCEPT AS SET OUT IN SECTION 18.8 BELOW, THERE
SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON
A CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A PURPORTED
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS CLAIMS AS A
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF). EXCEPT AS SET OUT IN
SECTION 18.8 BELOW, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BLUE APRON OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING,
THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING ANY
DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING
RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM.
THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF FOR OR AGAINST ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO
THE PROCEEDING.
This
Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver and the provisions in Section 18.8
are an essential part of this "Dispute Resolution" section, and if it
is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or
dispute, neither you nor Blue Apron may arbitrate such claim or dispute.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court or arbitrator (or where applicable,
JAMS) determine that either the Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver or
the provisions in Section 18.8 are not enforceable as to a particular claim or
request for relief and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted (or
the decision is otherwise final), then the parties agree that that particular
claim or request for relief may proceed in court but shall be severed and stayed
pending arbitration of the remaining claims. This provision does not prevent
you or Blue Apron from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
18.3. Federal Arbitration Act
You and Blue Apron agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that
the enforceability of this Section 18 shall be both substantively and
procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
18.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution
A dispute might arise between you and Blue Apron. If that happens, Blue Apron
is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. For any
issue or dispute that arises between you and Blue Apron, both parties
acknowledge and agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve
it informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in
arbitration or otherwise. This includes first sending a written description of
the dispute to the other party. You and
Blue Apron agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any
arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it
arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute
informally. Notice to Blue Apron shall be sent by certified mail or courier to
Blue Apron, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, 150 Greenwich St., New York, NY 10006.
Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the
email address you use or used for your Blue Apron account and, if different, an
email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable
detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that
you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically in accordance
with Section 3 and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number
and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute,
(y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute,
and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and Blue Apron cannot
agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice
is received by the applicable party, then either you or Blue Apron may, as
appropriate and in accordance with this Section 18, commence an arbitration
proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 18.1, file a
claim in court.
The aforementioned informal dispute resolution process
is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute
resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period
and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in
this informal dispute resolution process. Failure to engage in this process
could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration.
18.5. Process
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF SECTION 10 OR
DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL
CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED
UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS OR PATENTS, YOU AND
BLUE APRON AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR BLUE
APRON WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE
UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND BLUE APRON
WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE). You
and Blue Apron agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in the State of New
York, County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, (b) arbitration will be conducted
confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the
Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby
incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the
State of New York and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of
New York, County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, have exclusive jurisdiction
over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also
litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your
billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small
claims court.
18.6. Rules of JAMS
The arbitration will be administered by JAMS and resolved before a single
arbitrator. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an
alternative arbitration provider, but in no event shall any arbitration be
administered by the American Arbitration Association. Except as modified by
this "Dispute Resolution" provision, JAMS will administer the
arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and
Procedures for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000, in each case
applying the rules and procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is
initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or
representative actions. You can find the JAMS rules and procedures here at this
link. The Applicable JAMS rules and procedures are available at
https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/or by calling JAMS at (800)
352-5267. By agreeing to be bound by
these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and
understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules
of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for
any reason.
Pursuant to the applicable JAMS Rules and Consumer
Arbitration Minimum Standards, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate an
arbitration against Blue Apron. To the extent the filing fee for the
arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require
Blue Apron to pay the portion of that fee that exceeds the cost of filing suit.
You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules
and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration
to be non-frivolous, Blue Apron will pay all of the actual filing and
arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed
$75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in
accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to
recover attorneys’ fees in certain cases.
The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the
amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS's
Rules where it deems appropriate (including as specified in Section 18.8),
provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you
waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a
good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not
constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 18 while such challenge
remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent
jurisdiction, and that any and all due dates for those fees shall be tolled
during the pendency of such challenge.
18.7. Authority of
Arbitrator
As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the
arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all
procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the
determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to
grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however,
that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration
or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator's award of damages and/or
other relief must be consistent with section 18.2 above and also must be
consistent with the terms of the section on "Limitation of Liability"
(see Section 16 – above) as to the types and the amounts of damages or other
relief for which a party may be held liable. No arbitration award or decision
will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with
anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual
arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside
over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any
proceeding involving more than one individual.
18.8. Batch Arbitration
To
increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in
the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands (those asserting the same or
substantially similar facts, and seeking the same or substantially similar
relief) presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law
firm(s) or organization(s) are submitted to JAMS (or another arbitration
provider selected in accordance with Section 18.6 if JAMS is unavailable)
against Blue Apron within reasonably close proximity, the arbitration provider
shall (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 demands per
batch (to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over
after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining
demands); (ii) designate one arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for a
single filing fee due per side per batch. Arbitrator selection for each batch
shall be conducted to the greatest extent possible in accordance with the
applicable JAMS rules and procedures for such selection, and the arbitrator
will determine the location where the proceedings will be conducted. You agree
to cooperate in good faith with Blue Apron and the arbitration provider to
implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an
efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single filing and
administrative fees for batches of claims. This "Batch Arbitration"
provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of
any kind. Blue Apron does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private
attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated
claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this section 18.7.
18.9. Severability
If any term, clause or provision of this Section 18 is held invalid or
unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and
all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 18 will remain valid
and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 18.2 are severable
from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable,
except as prohibited by applicable law.
18.10.
Opt-Out Right
Blue Apron's updates to these Terms do not provide you with a new opportunity
to opt out of arbitration if you agreed to a previous version of the Terms and
did not validly opt out of arbitration. Blue Apron will continue to honor any
valid opt outs if you opted out of arbitration in a prior version of the Terms.
If you create a Blue Apron account for the first time on or after June 14, 2023, you may opt out of arbitration. To opt out, you must
notify Blue Apron in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject
to the Dispute Resolution provisions of these Terms. Your notice must include
your full name, mailing address, the email address associated with your Blue
Apron account, a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Mutual
Arbitration Agreement, and your original signature. The notice cannot be signed
by your attorney, agent, or other representative, and you may only opt out on
behalf of yourself individually. You must send your opt-out notice by U.S.
Postal Service certified mail to: Blue Apron, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, 150
Greenwich St., 57th Floor, New York, NY
10006.
18.11 Changes
Blue
Apron will provide 30 days' notice of any changes to this "Dispute
Resolution" section, but any such changes will not apply to any individual
claim(s) of which Blue Apron already has actual notice. If Blue Apron changes
this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted
this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement), you
agree that your continued use of the Platform or Services 30 days after such
change will be deemed acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to such
change, you may reject any such change by providing Blue Apron written notice
of such rejection by certified mail to: Blue Apron, LLC, Attn: General Counsel,
150 Greenwich St., 57th Floor, New York, NY 10006, within 30 days of the date
such change became effective, as indicated in the "Effective" date
above. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly
indicate your intent to reject changes to this "Dispute Resolution"
section. If you reject changes pursuant to this paragraph and were already
bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate disputes under a previous version
of the Terms, then that existing arbitration agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
19. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms, your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and
use of the Products shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict
of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to
arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the
state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States,
respectively, sitting in the State of New York, County of New York, Borough of
Manhattan.
20. Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right,
without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or
use the Sites and to order, receive and use the Products, at any time and for
any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability
or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a
refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
21. Severability
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or
unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these
Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part
of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of
these Terms.
22. Survival
The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these
Terms and the termination of your Blue Apron account: all defined terms and
Sections 1, 3, 4, 5 (first paragraph only), 6, 7, 8 (second paragraph only), 9
through 23.
23. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Blue Apron relating
to your access to and use of the Sites and your order, receipt and use of
Products. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not
be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Blue
Apron. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of
such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Blue
Apron’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided
herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are
not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or
entity.

These Gift Card Terms are in addition to the Blue Apron Terms and Conditions, but only to the extent necessary to govern your purchase or redemption of a Blue Apron Gift Card. Capitalized terms not defined in these Gift Card Terms will have the same meaning as in the Blue Apron Terms and Conditions. If these Gift Card Terms expressly conflict with the Blue Apron Terms and Conditions, these Gift Card Terms will govern, prevail and control.
1. Issuance, Use and Redemption. Except as otherwise provided, gift cards are redeemable toward eligible orders placed on the Sites, and on Affiliate Sites.

In order to redeem a gift card, you must have or create a Blue Apron account and provide a valid credit card (or other acceptable payment method) to complete the purchase. If the gift card does not have sufficient value to cover the entire purchase, the remaining balance must be paid at the time of redemption using another acceptable payment method. Gift cards are not credit or debit cards. Except to the extent required by applicable law, unused gift card balances will remain on such gift card. You may not purchase or obtain multiple gift cards with a value of more than $9,999 in any one day. Additional restrictions on the use of gift cards may apply with other offers. Any gift card use not permitted by these Terms is strictly prohibited.
2. Cancellations, Returns and Risk of Loss. Gift cards are not returnable or redeemable for cash except when required by applicable law. Gift cards are not transferable and may not be resold. Gift cards cannot be reloaded or increased in value. Ownership and risk of loss of a gift card passes to you once transmitted by Blue Apron.

BLUE APRON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH GIFT CARDS, EVEN IF BLUE APRON WAS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, BLUE APRON MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO GIFT CARDS INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
