Thank you for using GyftEasy! GyftEasy is a platform owned and operated by TechnoBright Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Company”, etc.), a Canadian corporation headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. We operate a platform which allows end users (“you”, “your”, “user”, etc.) to purchase and send GyftEasy electronic (non-physical) gift cards to other users using the GyftEasy mobile app (“App”) who can then redeem them against third-party merchant gift cards of equivalent value (the “Platform”). Users includes both people who gift GyftEasy cards to other users through the Platform, and users who receive said gifts and redeem them. By accessing our Platform and utilizing our Platform and the services we offer thereunder (“Services”) you hereby expressly agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) and all associated documents incorporated by reference including our Privacy Policy, which is accessible through GyftEasy Mobile application.
These Terms constitute a binding legal contract between TechnoBright Inc. and you. Upon using or accessing this Platform, you will thereby be considered a user and thus be subject to these Terms. If you choose to revoke your consent to these Terms, you may do so at anytime by notifying us at admin@gyfteasy.com and by ceasing use of the Platform immediately. Please note that in such circumstances we will not be able to make any refunds for you and you will lose access to your account with us.
These Terms are subject to change at anytime by us and we may update our Terms without any advance notice to you, unless required by law. It is your responsibility to appraise yourself of any changes and updates to the Terms and to consider your continued compliance with it.
You understand that we are a Platform that sells GyftEasy electronic gift cards to users to gift to other users who can then redeem said gift cards (and other accumulated gift cards within their GyftEasy wallet) from third-party merchants and retailers, and that by redeeming such gift cards, you are entering into third-party contracts with such retailers and merchants and may be further subject to additional contractual agreements beyond the scope of these Terms. It is your responsibility to ensure your agreement with the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy practices and policies of all such third parties that you contract with through the use of our Platform’s Services.
Permitted Use and Jurisdiction
This Platform is meant solely for use by persons who are at least thirteen years of age. By accessing or using our Platform and its Services you are representing that you are at least thirteen years of age. Furthermore, if you are between thirteen years of age and the age of majority in your respective jurisdiction from which you access the Platform, you further represent that you are accessing this Platform and utilizing the Services under the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian who is the party who has registered for an account under the Platform and also agrees to fully bound by these Terms.
This Platform is also governed according to the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and is intended for use therein. We do not make any representations or warranties that the Platform and its Services are appropriate for use within any other jurisdictions. If you do access the Platform from locations outside of its intended jurisdiction then you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. This Agreement is governed by and to be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, not withstanding conflict of laws principles. Your use of the Platform may nonetheless be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, you agree that to whatever extent a legal proceeding may be brought forth pursuant to your use of the Platform, that such proceedings will be brought forth in the Province of Ontario, and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario.
Our Services
Our Platform offers an online environment and electronic wallet to purchase and gift to other users electronic (non-physical) GyftEasy gift cards from us which can then be redeemed against electronic gift cards from third-party merchants and retailers. The purchases of GyftEasy gift cards for yourself or others are always final purchases and will not be refunded or returned under any circumstances, save for situations where a refund or return is required by any applicable statute law.
Your GyftEasy gift cards will remain in your GyftEasy wallet until redeemed against gift cards from third-party merchants and retailers through our Platform. GyftEasy gift cards cannot be used in retail stores and are only valid and useable for the purposes of redeeming them against third-party merchant gift cards on the GyftEasy platform. Furthermore, it is understood between the Parties that after a redemption by a user of a GyftEasy Card we are not able to track how the user utilizes said gift card and it will be the user’s responsibility to use the redeemed gift cards in accordance with the given retailers own terms and conditions.
Agreement to Receive Messages
You understand that by using this Platform, you agree to GyftEasy and its affiliates sending you text and email messages for various purposes including but not limited to your use of the Platform, functional purposes, data security purposes, as well as legal and administrative purposes. In addition to the above, you further agree to receiving notifications through the Platform from messages sent through the Platform between users.
Interaction with Third-Party Merchants and Retailers
Our redemption of third-party gift cards is further subject to terms and policies imposed by the third-party merchants or retailers from which you redeem them, and you must ensure that you agree to such third-party terms and policies prior to making a redemption through the Platform. These third-party retailers and merchants may impose specific conditions and rules in connection with the redemption of the gift cards redeemed through our Platform including but not limited to, expiration dates, limits on use, etc., all of which depend on the applicable law of the jurisdiction that you access the Platform from and utilize the gift cards. Third-party merchants and retailers are fully responsible for the terms of their gift card programs and policies, as we have nothing to do with said policies and can not change or affect them in any manner. Said third-party merchants and retailers will be the party liable for any damages, costs, or other liabilities suffered by you in connection with your redemption of their gift cards through our Platform. Your ultimate recourse for any issues with specific gift cards redeemed from third party merchants and retailers through our Platform is ultimately with said third-party, and not through us.
Limits on Use
We, in our sole discretion, may impose limits on the purchasing of GyftEasy gift cards through the Platform, and any other activity on the Platform, without advance warning. This includes imposing limits on the maximum value of permitted transactions by a user per any given time period (either generally or with respect to specific third-party merchants and retailers) or imposing limits on the use or spending of the gift cards in your wallet. Furthermore, third-party merchants and retailers may require us to impose limits on the redemption of their cards and the use of your redeemed cards through our Platform.
We make no guarantees that your gift cards (either GyftEasy cards or third-party merchant cards) will be available for use indefinitely or in any particular matter, and subject to the laws of your particular jurisdiction, we make no guarantees or warranties as to any refunds or redemptions for conventional currency with regard to your gift card wallets. You understand that it is possible that your gift card wallet and balance may be made unavailable (without recourse or compensation) to you without advance notice if, and not limited to, there is a change in legal regulations, business relationships with our third-party merchants and vendors, or if the Platform or TechnoBright Inc. is dissolved or discontinued.
Platform Usage and Redemption fee
We may at any point in the future add a fee that users will be required to pay to use our Services. This fee may be applied to new users who register for GyftEasy and for whom the price required to be paid will be shown to them before registering. We may also later require that existing users pay a fee (the form and structure of which will be decided by us) to continue using GyftEasy. Existing users will be given notification of such new fee via notification through e-mail or the Platform itself.
Payment Options and Processing
We accept payment via credit card only. By utilizing a credit card with our Platform, you are representing to us that you are authorized to use the designated credit card and authorize us to charge said card for processing your purchases of GyftEasy gift cards. If your credit card cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not acceptable for another reason, we may suspend and cancel your purchase without delay or notice. Your purchases through the Platform are processed by a third-party payment services provider, and the collection of your data and Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy) through said third-party payment services are governed by the specific terms and conditions and policies of said third-party payment services. We accept no responsibility for any loss you may incur or suffer due to any mistake, error, omission, or service interruption that is caused due to the actions of the third-party payment service providers.
International Users and Forex Charges
Users who purchase GyftEasy gift cards to send to international users (users outside of Canada) will be subject to an added forex fee.
The forex rate that will be applied based on the rate listed by the Platform. If the recipient is a registered user of the Platform, the sender will be able to see the forex rate that will be applied prior to sending the GyftEast gift card. However, if the user receiving the card is not a user registered with the Platform, then the forex rate applied will be based on the recipient user’s country of registration by a forex market rate we select. Recipient users will not be able to know this rate in advance or consent to or reject it. The Platform will charge a commission (which will be shown to the sender prior to sending) associated with the gifting of GyftEasy cards to other international users.
Errors
While we attempt to be as accurate as possible in the listing of information (including but not limited to prices) for the products that we sell, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any information about GyftEasy gift cards (or other third-party merchant gift cards) will be completely accurate, reliable, current, or without any errors of any kind. If an error occurs in the confirmation of a purchase of a GyftEasy card or in the redemption of the card of a third-party merchant, we reserve the right to correct said error and revise your purchase or redemption accordingly (including but not limited to charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount charged to you or taken out of your wallet in the redemption of a third-party merchant gift-card.
