Gift Card Vendor Terms and Liability
Gift Cards purchased via our websites or mobile applications are issued and activated by participating third-party merchants, retailers and vendors (collectively “Vendors”). Your purchase of each Gift Card will be governed by certain terms and conditions established by the issuing Vendor. Depending on the applicable law of your jurisdiction and the promotional nature of certain Gift Cards, Vendors may set expiration dates for such Gift Cards, in addition to other restrictions and requirements. You should review and familiarize yourself with all applicable Vendor terms and conditions prior to purchasing any Gift Card. If you have questions regarding the applicable Vendor terms, please contact the issuing Vendor.
As issuers of the Gift Cards, Vendors (and not GIFTWITH) are fully responsible for all aspects of their Gift Card programs. Vendors are also responsible for any and all liabilities, damages and costs suffered by you or any other customer in connection with your purchase and use of their Gift Card. GIFTWITH is not affiliated with the Vendors and has no liability for (i) the sale of products or services to you by a Vendor through the use of any Gift Card; and (ii) any Vendor’s failure to honor a Gift Card. You will need to look solely to the Vendor for any remedy in connection with the foregoing issues. You waive and release GIFTWITH and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any liabilities, damages and costs arising from or related to (i) your loss or the theft of any product sold by GIFTWITH (including Gift Cards); and (ii) any act or omission of a Vendor in connection with a Gift Card it provides.
GIFTWITH and its licensees, affiliates, and licensors make no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the GIFTWITH products, including without limitation, any express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. With respect to the Gift Cards that you purchase on the website or mobile applications, the amount paid for any Gift Card does not include sales, value added or use taxes, which may be charged to you separately by the applicable Vendor at the time you purchase products or services from the Vendor using the Gift Card. All purchases made on the websites or mobile applications are final. Purchased Gift Cards are non-returnable and non-refundable.
