It is your responsibility to provide accurate and complete contact information when making your Payment. You acknowledge that your Payment may not be processed or might be rejected for a variety of reasons.

• Recurring Payment.  If you select the recurring Payment option, you hereby authorize us to submit such recurring transactions for processing under these Terms, and you consent to us periodically charging your credit or debit card on a recurring or periodic basis for the Payment.  You may cancel the recurring fee at any time by visiting the customer care page or contacting csinquiry@guideposts.org.

• Tax Deductions.  If you are making a donation to Guideposts, your entire Payment or part of your Payment may or may not be tax deductible.  Guideposts is not responsible for the determination or eligibility of your Payment for tax deduction.
• Cancellation of Payment.  You may cancel your Payment prior to your final submission of it to us.  We may, in our sole discretion, cancel your Payment at any time by providing notice to you through your contact information or by a notice when you attempt to make a payment.  We may cancel a payment or prevent you from initiating future Payments for any reason, including, without limitation, the following: (i) if you attempt to use the Services in breach of any applicable law or regulation, including the card network rules or regulations; (ii) if you use the Services in breach of these Terms; (iii) if we suspect fraudulent, unlawful or improper activity regarding a Payment; (iv) if we detect, in our sole discretion, that your Payments have excessive disputes, high reversal rates or present a relatively high risk of losses; or (v) failure to cooperate in an investigation or provide additional information when requested.   If we terminate our Services to you pursuant to these Terms, we will immediately cease processing Payments for you.

• These Terms, your use of the Website and Services, and any other matter relating to Guideposts will be governed by the laws of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
• These Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the United States Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings.  Any claims arising out of, relating to, or connected with these Terms must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Terms and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (including, without limitation, utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel).  The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  There are only two exceptions to this arbitration agreement:

• REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, OR THE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

14. MISCELLANEOUS. 

• Software made available through the Services may be subject to United States export control laws, which state that certain software cannot be downloaded to certain countries or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders (and by using the Services you represent you are not on any of those lists).
• These Terms make up the entire agreement between the parties regarding Guideposts and supersedes any prior agreements.

• If any provision of these Terms is declared invalid or unenforceable, then such provision will be deemed automatically amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to the requirements for validity as declared at such time and, as so adjusted, will be a legally binding provision of these Terms as though originally included herein.  In the event that the provision invalidated is of such a nature that it cannot be so adjusted, the provision will be deemed deleted from these Terms as though such provision had never been included herein.  In either case, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Also, the invalidity or unenforceability of any single part of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other part of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect.
