Giftcraft Terms & Conditions: 4 Critical Legal Risks & How to Fix Them | Erayaha

## When Legal Ambiguity Becomes Expensive: Unpacking Giftcraft’s Terms & Conditions

When we examined Giftcraft Inc.’s Terms & Conditions, our analysis revealed four critical legal and logical risks that could expose the company to regulatory fines, costly litigation, and reputational harm. For example, ambiguous privacy language could trigger GDPR/CCPA penalties of up to $20 million or 4% of annual revenue, while overbroad liability waivers may be struck down in court, leading to unpredictable damages.

1. Privacy Policy Lacks Specificity & Regulatory Compliance Giftcraft’s privacy policy states that personal information is collected and used to provide better service and inform users of products or opportunities. However, it lacks explicit reference to legal bases for processing, user rights, or compliance with GDPR/CCPA. This exposes Giftcraft to regulatory sanctions and class action risk, especially if operating in the EU or California.

Legal Explanation

The original clause is overly broad, lacks reference to legal bases for processing, and omits user rights under GDPR/CCPA. The revision clarifies legal compliance, user rights, and limits third-party disclosures, reducing regulatory risk.

2. Unilateral Changes to Terms Without Notice The T&C allow Giftcraft to update or modify terms at any time, effective immediately upon posting, without requiring user notification or consent. This is a classic enforceability issue—courts have invalidated such clauses, and consumer protection authorities may view them as unfair contract terms, risking regulatory fines and contract nullification.

Legal Explanation

Unilateral modification without notice is often unenforceable and may violate consumer protection laws. The revision provides for advance notice and explicit user acceptance, improving enforceability and compliance.

3. Overbroad Limitation of Liability The limitation of liability clause attempts to exclude nearly all damages, including direct, indirect, incidental, and consequential damages, with a blanket $100 cap. Such sweeping exclusions are routinely challenged and often found unenforceable, especially if they attempt to waive liability for gross negligence or statutory violations. This could expose Giftcraft to multimillion-dollar lawsuits if a major incident occurs.

Legal Explanation

The original clause is overbroad and attempts to exclude all liability, including for gross negligence or statutory violations, which is unenforceable in many jurisdictions. The revision narrows the exclusion and carves out non-waivable liabilities.

4. Unrestricted Assignment of User Submissions All user comments, feedback, and submissions are assigned to Giftcraft without restriction or compensation. This blanket assignment, without carve-outs for confidential or third-party information, creates IP and privacy risks, including potential copyright disputes and breach of confidence claims.
