Gift certificates are not redeemable for cash. Gift certificates cannot be used to purchase another gift certificate. Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient's gift certificate account. If an order exceeds the amount of the gift certificate, the recipient will have to pay the remainder with a credit card. Gift certificates and unused balances of gift certificates expire one year from the date of issue or on the earliest date permitted under applicable law, whichever occurs later.
