Terms and Conditions
Last update: November 23rd, 2024
Welcome to GiftCards.digital!
These are the Terms and Conditions (“Terms“) applicable to all services and products offered on GiftCards.digital. Please read them carefully, as well as our Privacy Policy and Product Review Policy, before proceeding, as they set out the contractual basis for any transactions occurring on GiftCards.digital. “GiftCards.digital” is an e-commerce platform accessible via the website (www.giftcards.digital)
By continuing to use GiftCards.digital, you (“Customer”) are acknowledging that you have read and agree to the Terms, as well as to the Privacy Policy and Product Review Policy, when purchasing services and products from GiftCards.digital.
If you do not agree with these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Product Review Policy, you are not allowed to continue using GiftCards.digital and we ask you to please refrain from doing so.
2. The Gift Card and Top-Up Products
GiftCards.digital is an electronic commerce platform specialized in the resale of closed-loop gift cards, vouchers and phone top-ups (“Product” or “Products”), of fixed or variable amounts, in different currencies, that can be redeemed by the Customer at the issuer’s store, in exchange for services and products offered by such issuer.
GiftCards.digital offers different Products depending on the Customer’s country. GiftCards.digital allows the Customer to select their country and displays all the offers available in that country. GiftCards.digital does not guarantee that a Product purchased from one country page will work when used in a different country and therefore strongly advises Customers to read the terms and conditions of each particular Product.
Although we strive to present updated terms and conditions for all products, we do not make any representation in that regard. You should confirm the applicable terms and conditions of the Product you are purchasing from us directly on the website of the issuer of each product.
Some Products sold are geographically limited to certain countries. In these cases, if you are attempting to purchase from a country that is not allowed by a Product’s terms and conditions, such a purchase will not be possible.
If you circumvent our geoblocking systems to acquire a Product that is not available in your country, you are violating these Terms and Conditions and we may suspend or remove your account. We are also not liable for any redemption issues you may find, and we will not provide a refund in those cases.
Upon selection and payment, the Customer will receive access to the Product either on screen or by email to their email account.
Products can be delivered as sealed or unsealed. Products are delivered as sealed by default. The Customer may change this setting on their account.
A sealed Product is essentially a right to claim a Product at a later stage. This allows Customers to safely preserve the Product until the moment of redemption (which allows, for example, to benefit from a longer expiry date; or to ensure that no one had access to the code, thereby risking its value). To the extent that receiving a sealed Product does not render the Product unusable, a sealed Product may also be exchanged or refunded – see below “Refunds”. An unsealed Product is the Product as issued by the third-party issuer, ready to use, with the alphanumeric code visible to you and (when applicable) an ongoing expiry date. Orders are processed immediately and the Products are delivered (sealed or unsealed) either immediately or within a few minutes of receiving a successful payment, depending on the Product purchased. There can be delays that are outside of our control, such as, but not limited to: (i) force majeure; (ii) unexpected outages; (iii) failure to send a correct payment.
GiftCards.digital will endeavour to keep expected timescales transparent, but shall not be held responsible for delays and losses caused by the Customer or third parties.
In case your Product does not arrive within 30 minutes of successful payment, please contact [email protected].
Your use of the Gift Card and Top-Up products is continuously monitored to ensure the safety and regulatory compliance of GiftCards.digital’s platform. Suspicious transactions will be reported to competent authorities and you may be required at any time to complete a KYC program to continue to use these services.
Without prejudice to any other rights that GiftCards.digital may have under applicable law, to the extent that it is necessary: (i) to assist with our fraud and abuse detection and prevention efforts, (ii) to comply with court orders against you and applicable laws, rules and regulations, (iii) to comply with requests of law enforcement, including subpoena requests, (iv) to comply with any dispute resolution process, (v) to defend any legal action or threatened legal action without consideration for whether such legal action or threatened legal action is eventually determined to be with or without merit, (vi) to avoid any civil or criminal liability on the part of GiftCards.digital, its officers, directors, employees and agents, as well as GiftCards.digital’s affiliates, GiftCards.digital reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny, cancel, suspend, delay or limit fulfillment of any purchase order made by you, even after your payment has been made in respect of such purchase order, in case: (i) you are in breach of this or any other Agreement or any of GiftCards.digital’s policies, (ii) you otherwise engage or have engaged in inappropriate or unlawful activity while using the Products or Services (as determined by GiftCards.digital in its sole and absolute discretion), or (iii) GiftCards.digital has previously fulfilled an order made by you, and the corresponding payment has been disputed on grounds of suspected fraudulent activity, resulting in a chargeback procedure being initiated (and not yet being resolved) in respect of such previous payments made by you.
3. The Bill Payment Products
At GiftCards.digital, Customers residing in certain countries may have access to Bill Payment Products, provided in connection with different partners per jurisdiction, as specified below. The Bill Payment Products terms and conditions below are applicable in addition to these Terms.
Access to certain Bill Payment Products in certain jurisdictions may be reserved to Customers with verified accounts (Level 3 and 4).
Please note that, unless otherwise mentioned in the specific bill payment service you are accessing, payment of bills is not immediate and may take some time to confirm.
The Bill Payment Products are provided to Customers by partners authorized to conduct those activities in the respective jurisdiction, as described below.
4. Other products
GiftCards.digital may, from time to time, and in partnership with other providers, offer products other than the gift card and top-up Products or the Bill Payment Products described above.
5. The payment
The Products can be purchased by the Customer either (i) directly with a cryptocurrency, (ii) via a third-party payment provider, in either fiat (when available) or cryptocurrency.
Our available payment methods are offered solely for your convenience and are subject to availability. We may charge a service fee, which will be transparently disclosed during check-out and before payment.
We reserve the right to update, restrict, suspend, or discontinue payment methods at any time without prior notice, and to change or discount the amount of the additional service fee.
Payment with crypto
Customers may choose to pay directly with one of the cryptocurrencies accepted at the time of purchase by GiftCards.digital or by using a third-party crypto payment service that is available at check-out. These payments may be subject to fees and confirmation time, as stated in GiftCards.digital or in the terms and conditions of such third-party providers.
If you attempt to pay directly with an unsupported coin, or using an unsupported network, we will not be able to refund you and your funds will be lost.
Payment with fiat
If the option is available from time to time, Customers may also choose to pay with fiat using any payment method available at checkout. Such payments are processed by a third-party provider, identified on the payment page, whose terms and conditions apply. GiftCards.digital does not have access to your full card payment details, which are inserted by you directly into the secure payment gateway of the third-party provider.
6. Availability of Third-Party Services
The proper functioning of GiftCards.digital depends on its interaction with several third-party providers.
Transactions may, from time to time, fail due to technical or other reasons. Customers, therefore, acknowledge that we may not be liable for a technical issue that may affect their transaction. Whenever a transaction fails due to technical reasons, a Customer may qualify for a refund. Please see the “Refunds” section below to know more.
7. Limitations of use
We implement certain purchasing thresholds in accordance with our Anti-Money Laundering Policy, depending on the level of account of the Customer. All limits are presented in USD but apply to the equivalent amount in other currencies. Different limits can be implemented on a product by product, or customer by customer, basis, at the request of Product Issuers or discretionarily by us.
Any Customer using more than one GiftCards.digital account, or any other expedient, in order to circumvent the limits below, is in breach of these Terms and can have its account, or accounts, suspended until customer due diligence is successfully completed. Customers must not share GiftCards.digital accounts.
To the extent necessary under applicable laws and regulations or our internal policies, such illegal circumvention of the use limitations may be reported to the relevant authorities, whenever it reveals, in our sole understanding, signs of suspicious activity.
8. Refunds
Please note that due to the nature of the Products, the Customer does not have a cooling-off period of any kind after acquiring an unsealed Product or after unsealing a sealed Product. Once a Product is unsealed, no refunds or reimbursements will be offered unless in the cases where the product delivered is invalid or had already been redeemed prior to delivery. If this is not your case, and your Product is unsealed, we will not issue a refund.
As explained above in “Availability of Third-Party Services”, the purchase of Products through GiftCards.digital depends on the proper functioning of third-party systems.
Therefore, from time to time, the failure of such systems may cause a transaction to fail, meaning:
- The Customer did not receive the Product;
- The Product was received, but cannot be redeemed on account of it having been previously redeemed; or
- The Product was received, but cannot be redeemed on account of it not being valid.
In these cases, the Customer qualifies for a refund.
In case the Customer does not receive the Product after having paid and appropriate diligences are taken by GiftCards.digital to provide for the delivery of the Product or understand the cause of the delay, the Customer may request a refund.
In case the Product was received but cannot be redeemed, the Customer shall inform us. We will then start appropriate diligences with the relevant third-party providers in order to correct the issue. Should the third-party provider fail to correct the issue and agree to refund us, we will then refund the Customer.
In case of technical error causing the Product not to be delivered to the Customer, we will refund the Customer in full by crediting its GiftCards.digital Store Credits or with a return transaction in the same cryptocurrency.
In case of overpayment, a Customer may also request a refund in the amount paid in excess, deducted from any transaction fees.
In case of underpayment, a Customer may (i) pay the outstanding amount and receive the Product, (ii) ask for a refund in the same cryptocurrency to the same wallet, deducted from any transactions fees or (iii) ask for a refund in their GiftCards.digital Store Credits.
In case of balances exceeding the applicable limit a refund will be issued to a Customer upon mandatory identity verification of the account holder. Refusal to conduct verification may lead to GiftCards.digital freezing the account and any remaining credit until such verification is completed.
Customer verification may also be demanded in order to process exceptional refunds or in situations where GiftCards.digital deems it necessary for compliance reasons.
If you qualify for a refund (either because your Product is sealed, malfunctioning, or you overpaid or underpaid), you must request it within 30 days from the date of the transaction. After 30 days, the decision to issue a refund or not is made at the sole discretion of GiftCards.digital. Refunds requested after 30 days will be made in the form of a GiftCards.digital Gift Card in the amount of the refund.
Please note that we do not, in any event, refund any transaction fees paid by the Customer that are specific to the payment option selected by the Customer.
We reserve the right to refuse refunds when the costs of refunding exceed the amount to be refunded. The amount of time required to process any refunds request will vary and may take some time.
We also reserve the right to ask you for further information before issuing refunds.
For the purposes of requesting a refund or any further information, the Customer shall contact [email protected] or use the chat available at GiftCards.digital.
9. Disclaimers related to the Product
We are a reseller of the Product. We are not the creator, designer, issuer, organizer, beneficiary or manager of the Product (the “Issuer”), nor have we played any role in deciding the terms and conditions applicable to each Product. Therefore, we are not liable for any issue, damage or loss arising from the terms and conditions of each individual Product.
We are not sponsored by any Issuer, nor are we related, acting on behalf or under the express authorisation of any Issuer. We are not liable for any malfunction or any infringement of applicable rules caused by the Issuer.
The Customer, by acquiring the Product, is also entering into a contractual relationship with the Issuer, to which we are a third-party, against which the contractual defences and rights arising from the relationship between Customer and Issuer shall not apply.
The Customer shall engage in adequate due diligence regarding the terms and conditions of the Product being acquired, in what respects its usability and enforcement against the Issuer. We will not accept any liability for any claims in relation thereto. Those terms and conditions govern the Product acquired.
Customers acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any decision or policy of the Issuer to refuse to accept the Product on the grounds of the terms and conditions that the Issuer applies in relation to the Product.
We make no representation regarding the Product’s suitability for its intended use and make no other guarantees, warranties or representations in respect of the Product.

GiftCards.digital and the Products shall not be used, in any way, to infringe or circumvent the applicable laws and regulations and any unlawful behavior is absolutely forbidden on GiftCards.digital.

Any Customer hereby acknowledges and consents to this approach and to any such disclosures.
GiftCards.digital is also entitled to freeze any existing balances and/or accounts for as long as needed for the purpose of investigating suspicious behavior. We may be required to not disclose any such ongoing investigations to Customers, in which case we will keep them confidential. Any store credit held in GiftCards.digital Store Credits that is found to have been paid with proceedings of crime may be seized and delivered to legal authorities.
Customers are intended end-users of the Products. If you want to purchase Products for resale, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will guide you through the process.
