PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.
By using cashthecard.com (the “Website”), or establishing an account with the website and using the gift card purchase service (the “Service”), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”). The Agreement is a binding legal contract entered into by you and Cash the Card Inc. (“Cash the Card”). Both you and Cash the Card may be referred to herein individually as a “Party”, and collectively as the “Parties”.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE.
1.1 Description.
Cash the Card buys third-party gift cards (the “Gift Cards”) from you at the rates quoted on the Website by linking you with local retail brand partners that purchase the Gift Cards. The Service is only available for United States dollar denominated Gift Cards issued by certain merchants, and we may change the list at any time at our sole discretion. The rates at which Cash the Card will pay for your Gift Card are set to be competitive and may change from time to time at Cash the Card’s sole discretion. The rate for your Gift Card will be set at the time you submit its details for evaluation on the website and expire when your offer passes. By accepting the rate and submitting your Gift Card to Cash the Card you are initiating the sale of your Gift Card to Cash the Card, and hereby agree to complete the sale transaction per the terms herein.
1.2 Electronic Submission of Gift Cards.
At this time we are not accepting electronic submission of Gift Cards. Our service is to link you with a local retail brand partner where you can exchange your Gift Card for immediate cash.
1.3 Mailing in Gift Cards.
At this time we are not accepting submission of Gift Cards by postal mail. Our service is to link you with a local retail brand partner where you can exchange your Gift Card for immediate cash.
1.4 Right of Refusal.
In order to ensure the integrity of the Service, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to decline to accept a Gift Card at any time, for any or no reason. The completion of an “offer to purchase” of a Gift Card to Cash the Card by you in no way obligates us to accept ownership of or to otherwise purchase such Gift Card.
1.5 Verification of Gift Cards.
Upon physical receipt of your Gift Card, Cash the Card will confirm such Gift Card matches details submitted by you via the Website, including but not limited to, underlying merchant, card condition, exclusion of any usage restrictions, and current redeemable value. Cash the Card may require the provision of photo identification and/or additional purchase and sale information regarding any Gift Card in order to complete the verification process.
1.6 Acceptance of Gift Cards.
Upon Cash the Card’s successful verification of the Gift Card, Cash the Card will, at its sole discretion: a.) accept ownership of the Gift Card; or b.) first attempt to redeem the full stated value of the Gift Card; accepting ownership of the Gift Card if such redemption is successful. Upon Cash the Card’s accepting ownership of the Gift Card, the quoted fees due from Cash the Card to you in exchange for the Gift Card will accrue. Cash the Card redeeming the balance of the gift card does not imply that you (the customer) will be paid out immediately. All orders & offers must fully undergo all of our processes before you are finally paid out.
1.7 Gift Card Discrepancies.
If Cash the Card is unable to redeem the stated value of such Gift Card, or if the Gift Card does not match exactly what was indicated by you on the Website at the time you submitted its details and received a rate quote, Cash the Card may, at its sole discretion: 1.) redeem any amount on said Gift Card up to the total amount available, and pay you for the amount redeemed at the available rate set by Cash the Card at that time, at which point ownership in the Gift Card is transferred to Cash the Card.
1.8 Locked, Stolen, and Fraudulent Gift Cards.
The sale of stolen property or the perpetration of fraud, including Gift Cards acquired through the use of stolen property, is strictly forbidden and violates the law. Cash the Card actively supports law enforcement efforts, and underlying merchants affiliated with such Gift Cards, to identify and recover any stolen property that is sold, or attempted to be sold, using the Service.
In the event that you sell us a Gift Card where such Gift card is reported to be flagged, locked or reduced to zero balance by the gift card issuer due to suspected fraudulent activity, the following will occur:
1.1.1 any payment(s) to you will automatically be cancelled and/or reversed without notice;
1.1.2 all Gift Card(s) sent by you will automatically be flagged and held for investigation. You will not have the option to request a return of such Gift Card(s), with no payment or other consideration whatsoever, until all such Gift Card(s) are cleared by the underlying issuer as not being suspected of fraudulent activity, however so defined by such issuer; and
1.1.3 Cash the Card may elect to, in its sole discretion, work with underlying gift card issuers, processors, and any other gift card service providers, as well as appropriate law enforcement services, to thwart any activities involving stolen, fraudulent, or other illegal uses or cards and will report to law enforcement any suspected criminal activity perpetrated on or through the Service.
