1. TERMS OF SALE. By placing an order for merchandise through BePlayful.com you agree to our terms of sale ("Terms of Sale") set out in this Section.
1.1 Order and Acceptance. Each item in an order that you submit to JC constitutes a separate offer to purchase that item. After you place your order through BePlayful.com, you will receive a confirmation notice on the website and/or through a confirmation email.

• item pricing error
• item unavailability

For any other item besides Virtual Products, you may return the item unused and unwashed, in its original condition and packaging, with the tags still attached within 30 days from the date of purchase. Once we have received and validated your item as qualifying for a return, we will allow you to exchange the item or provide you store credit which you may use for a new purchase at BePlayful.com.
