Scribd Gift Subscriptions ("Gift Subscriptions") and their purchase, redemption, and use are subject to these terms, as well as the General Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.  Scribd reserves the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time at Scribd’s sole discretion.  

  1. Purchase.

    Gift Subscriptions may only be purchased through authorized Scribd channels and only in the increments offered by Scribd.  To purchase a Gift Subscription, all information required by the purchase form must be provided, and the purchaser must provide valid payment information. 

  2. Redemption.

    Gift Subscriptions may be redeemed toward the purchase of eligible products only on www.scribd.com. Redemption of Gift Subscriptions is subject to change in Scribd’s sole discretion.  In order to redeem a Gift Subscription, the redeemer must have an existing Scribd account or create a new Scribd account, and thereby have agreed to be bound by all applicable terms, conditions, and policies.  Failure to do so will void the Gift Subscription and cause it to be forfeited.  Each Gift Subscription may only be redeemed one time, with the balance of the redeemed Gift Subscription added to the redeemer’s Scribd account.  Purchases made by the redeemer after redemption are deducted from the redeemer’s Scribd account balance.  If a purchase made by the redeemer exceeds the balance of a redeemed Gift Subscription, then the remaining amount must be paid with another payment method.  No fees apply to the redemption of Gift Subscriptions.

  3. Limitations.

    Gift Subscriptions cannot be used to purchase other Gift Subscriptions.  Gift Subscriptions cannot be combined with any other offer, reloaded, resold, transferred for value, or redeemed for cash, except to the extent required by law.  Unused Gift Subscription balances in a Scribd account may not be transferred to another Scribd account.  Unless you obtain Scribd’s prior written approval, Gift Subscriptions may not be used in connection with any marketing, advertising, or other promotional activities of any kind, including, but not limited to, via websites, Internet advertisements, email, telemarketing, direct mail, newspaper and magazine advertisements, sweepstakes, contests, or radio and television broadcasts.

  4. Risk of Loss.

    The risk of loss and title for Gift Subscriptions pass to the purchaser upon Scribd’s electronic transmission of the Gift Subscription to the purchaser or the purchaser’s designated recipient. Scribd is not responsible for assuring that Gift Subscriptions are delivered to the purchaser or the purchaser’s designated recipient, including, but not limited to, because the designated email address is invalid, or the Gift Subscription cannot be delivered due to technical issues, as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, insufficient space in an email account, or any changed or cancelled email address.  Scribd is not responsible if any Gift Subscription is lost, stolen, destroyed, or used without your permission.

  5. Fraud.

    Scribd has the right to close customer accounts and bill alternative forms of payment if a fraudulently obtained Gift Subscription is redeemed and/or used to make purchases as set forth above.

  6. Limitation of Liability.

    SCRIBD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN THE EVENT A GIFT SUBSCRIPTION IS NON-FUNCTIONAL, YOUR SOLE REMEDY, AND SCRIBD’S SOLE LIABILITY, WILL BE THE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH GIFT SUBSCRIPTION. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES.  IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

  7. Disputes.

    Scribd and you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for the City and County of San Francisco, California, and Scribd and you hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
      
  8. Expiration.

    Gift Subscriptions do not expire.  In accordance with these terms and conditions, however, Scribd has the right to change redemption of Gift Subscriptions in Scribd’s sole discretion.

  9. General Terms.

    The General Terms of Use and Privacy Policy apply to Gift Subscriptions.  When you purchase, receive, or redeem a Gift Subscription, you agree that the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these terms and conditions. Scribd reserves the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time in Scribd’s sole discretion.  All terms and conditions are applicable to the extent permitted by law.
