The Services and Website are offered by RibbonsXP Inc. ("RibbonsXP"). IMPORTANT: This Agreement includes resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.
RibbonsXP may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting such amended Terms and Conditions on the Website. Such amended Terms and Conditions will be effective as of the date it is posted to the Website.
Purchasing and Redeeming
Follow the instructions for purchasing and redeeming an Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate found at the Website or in RibbonsXP sales literature. As a condition to redeeming an Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate, a recipient must first register for an account and accept these Terms and Conditions.
Experience Vouchers
Experience Vouchers are issued and redeemable for a specific Experience offered through the Website (e.g., an Experience Voucher may be issued for a Hot Air Balloon Ride for Valley Ballooning, VA). Experience Vouchers are not issued to customers in a specified or denominated dollar amount. Experience Vouchers cannot be redeemed or exchanged for services with any other merchant, entity or experience supplier. Experience Vouchers cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash except where required by state or federal law. Experience Vouchers do not store any value electronically and value cannot be electronically added or subtracted to Experience Vouchers.
You may purchase an Experience Voucher for your own use or as a gift for another person. In no event shall RibbonsXP collect your mailing address or the recipient's mailing address. RibbonsXP will, however, collect your billing address in order to complete the transaction. Upon purchase, the Experience Voucher shall be delivered electronically on the website to you or to the recipient.
Experience Vouchers are redeemable through the Website for the specific Experience associated with the particular Experience Voucher. In particular, the recipient is required to enter the unique Experience Voucher number on the Website, and then will be prompted to either create an account or login to an existing account. The recipient will then be guided through the remainder of the redemption and booking process. In the event the recipient wishes to purchase any available options associated with the Experience, he or she will need to pay for those options with another form of payment.
Except as explained in the below "Standard Purchaser Return and Refund Policy," all sales of Experience Vouchers are final. However, a recipient may exchange an Experience Voucher in accordance with the conditions discussed below in "Exchanges."
Gift Certificates
Gift Certificates are issued in a dollar-denominated amount ranging from $50 to $2,000. Gift Certificates can be redeemed for Experiences only through the Website, and cannot be redeemed or exchanged for goods or services with any other merchant, entity or experience supplier. Gift Certificates cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash except where required by state or federal law. Gift Certificates do not store any value electronically and value cannot be electronically added or subtracted to Gift Certificates (other than through redemptions).
You may purchase a Gift Certificate for your own use or as a gift for another person. In no event shall RibbonsXP collect your mailing address or the recipient's mailing address. RibbonsXP will, however, collect your billing address in order to complete the transaction. Upon purchase, the Gift Certificate shall be delivered on the website to you or to the recipient.
Gift Certificates are redeemable through the Website toward booking an Experience of the recipient's choosing. In particular, the recipient is required to enter the unique Gift Certificate number on the Website, and then will be prompted to either create an account or login to an existing account. The recipient will then be guided through the remainder of the redemption and booking process.
A Gift Certificate may be redeemed for an Experience of a lesser or greater value. If the chosen Experience has a lesser value than the Gift Certificate, the additional balance will be available to the recipient and may be used toward future Experience bookings. If the chosen Experience has a greater value than the Gift Certificate, the recipient must pay the difference with another form of payment.
Except as explained in the below "Standard Purchaser Return and Refund Policy," all sales of Gift Certificates are final.
Experience Vouchers and Gift Certificates Do Not Expire
The availability, type, and price of the Experiences that we offer on the Website may vary over time. Although Experience Vouchers do not expire, any Experience Voucher that is redeemed more than twelve (12) months from the date of original purchase will be subject to the current availability of such specific Experience on the Website, and you are responsible for paying for any increase in price for such Experience at the time of redemption. In the event the specific Experience is no longer available at the Website, the Experience Voucher may be redeemed for an Experience then-available at the Website equal to or less than the original purchase price of the Experience Voucher. An unredeemed Experience Voucher may also be exchanged in accordance with the below "Exchanges" section.
Third-Party Gift Certificates/Gift Codes
From time to time, the Website may offer gift certificates or gift codes that are redeemable by a third party that is not affiliated with RibbonsXP. Such third-party gift certificates/gift codes may either be available for direct purchase on the Website, or may be obtained by redeeming a Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher. In any case, the third party with which the gift certificate/gift code is redeemable shall be considered the issuer, and sole obligor, of such certificates/codes. You acknowledge that RibbonsXP shall have no liability to you with respect to these certificates/codes.
Standard Purchaser Return and Refund Policy
If you wish to return a Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher you must do so within 30 days of your purchase. All refunds must be requested by the original purchaser and will be made only to the original purchaser in accordance with the original payment method. If the Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher has been registered at RibbonsXP.com by someone other than the purchaser, the registered owner must contact RibbonsXP to authorize a refund to the purchaser. If the Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher has been delivered by RibbonsXP to someone other than the purchaser, the recipient must contact RibbonsXP to authorize a refund to the purchaser. No refunds are allowed once an Experience is booked in accordance with booking requirements found at the Website.
Exchanges
Recipients may exchange unredeemed or redeemed but unbooked Experiences at any time free of charge. Should the recipient choose to exchange for a more expensive Experience, he or she will simply need to pay the price difference. Should he or she exchange for a less expensive Experience, the remainder will constitute an unredeemed balance remaining on such Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate, which will be applied to the recipient's account. Such unredeemed balances may only be redeemed toward future bookings of Experiences at the Website and are not redeemable for cash.
Experience Cancellations & Rescheduling
Once you have booked an Experience and received a booking confirmation, any cancellation and/or rescheduling is subject to the cancellation and rescheduling policies for your specific Experience as listed at Website regarding the description of your Experience. If you fail to appear on your booked date or to cancel and rebook in accordance with the cancellation and rescheduling policy listed for your specific Experience, (i) RibbonsXP shall have no further obligation to you, (ii) you shall not be entitled to a refund or exchange, and (iii) your Experience will be considered fully redeemed and booked.
Availability
All Experiences are subject to availability and shall be booked in advance in accordance with the requirements found at the Website. RibbonsXP makes no claim or guarantee as to the availability of any specific Experience. In the event that RibbonsXP no longer offers or otherwise terminates or withdraws an Experience or Experience location, you shall be entitled to exchange the Experience for another Experience of equal or lesser value.
Weather
Certain Experiences are very weather dependent. You should not assume that weather conditions will result in a cancellation of a booked Experience. If you fail to appear for a booked Experience that has not actually been canceled by you or the Experience Provider, (i) RibbonsXP shall have no further obligation to you, (ii) you shall not be entitled to a refund or exchange, and (iii) your Experience will be considered fully redeemed and booked. Always contact the Experience Provider with any questions regarding weather conditions. All Experiences canceled by the Provider due to weather conditions will be re-booked, subject to availability, without any further charge to you. RibbonsXP shall not be responsible for any losses, damages, expenses or liabilities you incur in connection with a canceled Experience.
Provider Cancellations
Providers may cancel booked Experiences without notice for reasons including but not limited to weather, mechanical or equipment problems, malfunctions or unavailability, or venue issues. In such an event, you shall be entitled to re-book or exchange such Experience in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. RibbonsXP shall not be responsible for any losses, damages, expenses or liabilities you incur in connection with a canceled Experience.

Corporate Sales
On occasion, certain entities including but not limited to corporations, partnerships, other business entities, or non-profit entities (hereinafter "Corporate Customers") will make purchases from the Company for the purpose of either (i) resale in the ordinary course of Customer's business, or (ii) non-resale redistribution to Customer's individual customers or employees. For such Corporate Sales, the Corporate Customer agrees that (a) under no circumstances shall it be considered the owner of any Certificates purchased from the Company, (b) it shall not use or redeem the Certificates itself, and (c) it is purchasing the Certificates strictly for either (i) resale in the ordinary course of Customer's business, or (ii) non-resale redistribution to Customer's individual customers or employees. Any specific information regarding such resale or subsequent redistribution of Certificates is proprietary to Customer, and Customer shall not provide it to the Company in any form except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company agrees that it shall not request such information from the Customer unless required by law to do so.
Disputes and Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
By visiting, accessing, using or browsing the Website, or by purchasing or redeeming a Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher, or by booking an Experience, you agree that the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, shall govern the conditions of use and such use will be construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.
Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration. Please read this section carefully. It affects legal rights that you may otherwise have and requires individual final and binding arbitration of most disputes instead of resolution in court.
You and RibbonsXP agree that any and all claims or disputes, whether at law or equity, in any way related to or concerning this Agreement or your purchase, acceptance or use of a Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher, or your purchase of or participation in an Experience or your use of the Website, regardless of the date of accrual of such dispute, shall be resolved in its entirety by individual (not classwide or collective) binding arbitration, except that you or RibbonsXP may take claims to a small claims court if such claims qualify for hearing by a small claims court. This agreement to arbitrate extends to claims that you assert against other parties, including without limit claims against RibbonsXP and its affiliates. The Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to a neutral arbitrator, instead of a judge or jury, for a final and binding decision, known as an "award," and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief that a court can award under the law (including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys' fees).
Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court instead of arbitration if you opt out of this arbitration agreement. To opt out, contact RibbonsXP. To be effective, you must opt out within 14 days from the date of your purchase, acceptance or use of a Gift Certificate or Experience Voucher or your purchase of or participation in an Experience, whichever is earlier.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. You and RibbonsXP agree that any proceedings under this Agreement, whether in arbitration or small claims court, will be conducted on an individual basis and that class, mass, consolidated or combined actions or arbitrations or proceeding as a private attorney general are not permitted. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, You and RibbonsXP agree to waive the right to trial by jury.
ARBITRATION PROCEDURES
Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"). The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must serve RibbonsXP's registered agent for service of process at 11101 West 120th Ave., Suite 150, Broomfield, CO 80021, United States.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, except that for claims of less than $1,000, you will be obligated to pay $25 and RibbonsXP will pay all other administrative costs and fees. In addition, for claims of less than $1,000, RibbonsXP will reimburse you for the $25 fee if the arbitrator rules in your favor. Reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses will be awarded only to the extent such allocation or award is available under applicable law.
Any arbitration will take place in or near the county where claimant resides and will be determined by a single arbitrator; provided, however, that upon request by either party, the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone to the extent permitted by the JAMS Rules. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief).
Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Lost or Stolen Certificates
RibbonsXP shall not be responsible for the loss of, theft of, or damage to any Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate. RibbonsXP shall not be responsible for the loss of any Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate as a result of identity theft or fraud.
Assignability
We believe that Experience Vouchers and Gift Certificates make great gifts. Accordingly, you may assign any Experience Voucher or Gift Certificate to any third party prior to the booked date of such Experience. Any such assignee shall be subject to and legally bound by these Terms and Conditions as well as terms and conditions and participant requirements associated with the Experience as specified by the Provider.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALL EXPERIENCES ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RELEVANT PROVIDER AND YOU SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO THE RELEVANT PROVIDER FOR ANY MATTERS OR COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE EXPERIENCE.

By purchasing and/or redeeming an Experience, Experience Voucher, or Gift Certificate, you hereby RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE and promise not to sue or assert against RibbonsXP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, PARENTS AND AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS, EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, EXPENSES AND COSTS whatsoever THAT YOU OR YOUR HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS OR OTHER PERSONAL OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES MAY HAVE, including WITHOUT LIMITATION, all claims at law or in equity of every nature and kind, known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected, presently existing or which may arise in the future caused by, arising from, related to or otherwise attributable to THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS ON THE PART OF ANY PROVIDER OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PURCHASE, REDEMPTION, BOOKING, CANCELLATION, EXCHANGE AND/OR PARTICIPATION IN AN EXPERIENCE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; THUS, SOME OF THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
