The Chocolate Registry website allows chocolatiers and confectioners (“Chocolatiers”) to market and offer for sale products for delivery and/or pick up and customers to search for and purchase such products. These services are conducted within the United States and only at certain chocolatiers. You should closely review the information concerning the Chocolatiers to ensure you are able to properly utilize and benefit from the The Chocolate Registry services.

The Chocolatiers are obligated by The Chocolate Registry to comply with federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, and standards pertaining to food preparation, sale, marketing and safety. However, it is critical for you to understand that The Chocolate Registry does not in any way independently verify the credentials, representations or products of Chocolatiers, the ingredients or the quality of any products, or that a Chocolatier is in compliance with applicable laws. You must make yourself comfortable through information provided by Chocolatiers on the The Chocolate Registry website or as requested by you directly from the Chocolatiers as to the quality and reliability of the Chocolatiers, as well as to their compliance with applicable laws. The Chocolate Registry does not in any way guaranty the quality of any food or that any food complies with applicable laws. In addition, a Chocolatier may represent that food preparation is in accordance with special standards such as “organic,” “kosher,” “macrobiotic” or allergen-specific standards such as “nut-free,” “gluten-free,” or “lactose-free.” However, The Chocolate Registry does not independently investigate or verify such representations. The Chocolate Registry shall not be liable or responsible for any food or services offered by Chocolatiers that is unhealthy, is the cause of injury, that is otherwise unacceptable to buyers or that does not meet the expectation of buyers in any manner. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of delivery addresses, and The Chocolate Registry shall have no liability or responsibility for any such erroneous addresses.

1. ”Company Services”: The Chocolate Registry is a Platform and venue

The Chocolate Registry is a platform and venue whereby users (“Buyers” and “Sellers”), in accordance to Company’s policies and this Agreement and the Seller’s Participation Agreement, offer, sell, buy, and trade certain goods (“Company Services” or “Services”), such as chocolates, confections, and baked goods.

2. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Chocolate Registry is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers.

The Chocolate Registry’s Fees Policy, which is subject to change, is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Changes to the Fees Policy and the fees for Company’s Services are effective after Company provides you with at least fourteen (14) days’ notice by posting the changes on the Website. However, Company may choose to temporarily change the Fees Policy and the fees for Company Services for promotional events (for example, free listing days); such changes are effective when Company posts the temporary promotional event on the Website. Company may, at Company’s sole discretion, change some or all of Company Services at any time. In the event Company introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars (USD).

On occasion, credit card information will be provided to the Chocolatiers, and in such case, the Chocolatier will bill you directly.

In the event a product or service is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or product information received from our suppliers, The Chocolate Registry shall have the right, prior to the acceptance of your order pursuant to our Order Acceptance Policy described below, to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card account charged. If your credit card account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, The Chocolate Registry shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

The availability of products or services and other items on each of The Chocolate Registry websites may change at any time, without notice.

Terms of Purchase

Payment is due at the time of order. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases including any sales taxes, surcharges and any delivery fees for the delivery service you select. The final charges for your order may be different than those stated on the website. The Chocolate Registry does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, and content of any third parties related to the creation or delivery of your order. The Chocolate Registry may require additional verification or information before accepting any order.

Each customer shall be solely responsible for all sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges, if any. The Chocolate Registry does not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

Without limiting other remedies, The Chocolate Registry reserves the right to charge a late fee on all past due payments equivalent to the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance or the highest rate allowed by law. You will pay for all collection costs, attorneys fees, and court costs incurred in the collection of past due amounts.

The Chocolate Registry reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. The Chocolate Registry reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. The Chocolate Registry may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until The Chocolate Registry sends you a receipt and/or pick-up information for the order (or the accepted portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if The Chocolate Registry cancels all or a portion of your order or if The Chocolate Registry provides you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either (a) The Chocolate Registry will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card has already been charged for the order) or (b) The Chocolate Registry will not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided.
