The Garces Restaurant Group Card is issued to you by Garces Restaurant Group. It allows you to load a dollar value on to your Garces Restaurant Group Card for future purchases at participating Garces Restaurant Group restaurants. The dollar value that you assign to your Garces Restaurant Group Card is a prepayment only for the goods and services of participating Garces Restaurant Group restaurants.

Arbitration Rights

Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this agreement.

Binding Arbitration

This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of our relationship. Any dispute or claim made by you against us (or against any of our subsidiary, parent or affiliate companies) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Garces Restaurant Group Card (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration except that (a) you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, or (b) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if the claims relate solely to the collection of any debts you owe to us. However, even for those claims that may be taken to court, you and we both waive any claims for punitive damages and any right to pursue claims on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Procedures

You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting our Customer Service department to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) as modified by this agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available upon request from the AAA (call 1-800-778-7879) or online at adr.org. You and we agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration will take place in Philadelphia, PA, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying the AAA Rules applicable to large/complex cases, the Arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the AAA Rules. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, than the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

Costs of Arbitration

All administrative fees and expenses of an arbitration will be divided equally between the customer and Garces Restaurant Group, except that for claims of less than $1,000, the customer will be obligated to pay $25 and we will pay all other administrative costs and fees. In all arbitrations, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.

Waiver of Punitive Damage Claims and Class Actions

By this Agreement, both you and we are waiving certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If for any reason this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or invalid, you and we both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity.

Governing Law – Pennsylvania

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania notwithstanding any conflict of law rules.

Garces Restaurant Group and its affiliates make no representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Garces Restaurant Group Card, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement, or any warranty arising by usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance. Garces Restaurant Group does not represent or warrant that your Garces Restaurant Group Cards will always be accessible or accepted.

In the event that Garces Restaurant Group or its affiliates are found liable to you, you shall only be entitled to recover actual and direct damages and such damages shall not exceed the last balance held on your Garces Restaurant Group Card. Garces Restaurant Group and its affiliates shall have no liability for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages (including without limitation loss of profit, revenue or use) arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, even if we or our authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Garces Restaurant Group or its affiliates have any liability for unauthorized access to, or alteration, theft or destruction of a Garces Restaurant Group Card through accident, misuse or fraudulent means or devices by you or any third party, or as a result of any delay or mistake resulting from any circumstances beyond our control.

The laws of certain states or other jurisdiction do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have rights in addition to those contained in this agreement. In such jurisdiction, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Assignment

We may assign all or part of this agreement without such assignment being considered a change to the agreement, and without notice to you. We are then released from all liability. The assignee shall have the same rights and obligations as the assignor and shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement.

Entire Agreement, Construction

This agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between you and Garces Restaurant Group, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements. In the event that any provision of this agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of this agreement.

Chef Garces immediately established his reputation with the opening of his first restaurant, Amada, in 2005, which introduced authentic Andalusian-style tapas to Philadelphian’s seeking an exciting new dining experience.

Each restaurant concept has allowed Chef Garces to further push his execution of passionate cuisine. He has explored new ways to combine flavors with Chifa's Peruvian-Cantonese fusion, and has elevated street food at Distrito and Guapos Tacos. By reimagining old-world ingredients and preparation customs into delicate, indulgent masterpieces, Chef Garces created an award-winning and nationally recognized menu at Tinto.

Guests and food reviewers find it easy to share memorable experiences of Garces meals – his restaurants are routinely awarded with regional and national honors, which are listed on our recognition page.

Aside from his restaurant openings, Chef Garces has also written a cookbook, Latin Evolution, in which he shares some of his favorite recipes. Chef Garces then became a household name in living rooms and kitchens across America in 2009 when he won Food Network's second season of The Next Iron Chef. Chef Garces is in elite company within the culinary community, having earned the title Iron Chef America.
