2. SELLING GIFT CARDS TO GIFT CARD OUTLETS.
Anyone who sells a Gift Card on or through our Website, agrees to transfer complete ownership and rights of ownership to the Gift Card therein to GCO for payment in the amount agreed upon by GCO.
Subsequent to a gift card sale to GCO, Seller shall not to permit, authorize, encourage, or allow anyone else to, redeem, claim, attach or transfer, any portion of the Gift Card, or any interest therein. Seller
is responsible for shipping the Gift Card to GCO , and once received, we will verify the Gift Card balance and validity. Payment may be submitted as soon as 2 days, however, we reserve the right to hold
payment for a period of up to 90 ninety business days following our receipt of the Gift Card if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the contemplated transaction may be fraudulent, or invalid for
any reason, or if the seller has a prior history of invalid transactions. Prior to the expiration of the 90 day period GCO will either mail payment to you, or return your rejected Gift Card. When you submit
an offer to sell a Gift Card, we may require that you provide GCO with valid payment information (such as credit card information),or additional information, to enable us to verify your name and address.
No sale or transaction is complete, and GCO will incur no payment obligations of any kind, until we verify and accept delivery of all Gift Cards associated with such a transaction. GCO accepts no
responsibility for any Gift Cards until received in our facility, and the Gift Card balance and other details are verified. We recommend you package all Gift Cards securely prior to mailing to ensure your
Gift Cards arrive promptly, safely and are not damaged, or destroyed. Upon our verification that your Gift Cards meet GCO guidelines, we will notify you that transaction is complete. Only this notification
obligates GCO to pay you for the Gift Cards purchased.
In connection with any sale of Gift Cards to GCO the seller hereby guarantee, represent and warrant, and continue to represent and warrant, the following: (a) the Gift Card is valid; (b) the Gift Card is
redeemable for the amount of credit that you state in connection with the sale of your Gift Card; (c) that you have released all ownership interests and have not in any way retained a way to redeem,
control or use the Gift Card after the selling the Gift Card to GCO us; (d) the Gift Card and any interest therein is fully transferable to us in the manner contemplated by this Agreement; (e) you are the
sole lawful owner of the Gift Card and all interests thereto; (f) the Gift Card is not subject to any liens, obligations, or encumbrances of a third party; and (g) you shall comply with all other requirements
to complete the sale transaction, including without limitation any shipping instructions, required by GCO. Gift Cards that have an expiration date are acceptable ONLY if: (1) you fully disclose and
expressly provide us with notice of the expiration upon your submission of an offer; and (2) the expiration date is at least 6 months after the date on which we receive it.
It is mutually agreed and understood that the delivery of your Gift Card and our initial inspection of it does not complete a sale transaction and merely constitutes a legal offer to GCO. Specifically,
sending a Gift Card or Gift Cards to GCO in no way obligates GCO to accept ownership of such Gift Card, or Gift Cards. GCO reserves the right to reject any Gift Card, or cards, that we believe, in our sole
discretion, may be fraudulent or stolen, or which may have come from any unauthorized source, or which otherwise may pose a financial risk to GCO, our users, clients, customers or merchants and gift
card issuers. Generally, we will return cards we reject, or deem unacceptable within twenty (20) business days of our receipt of the Gift Card. We accept no responsibility, or liability, for any lost or
damaged packages, or packages altered in transit, whether in transit to GCO or in return transit to the seller. It is further mutually agreed that until we receive all Gifts Cards associated with a particular
sale transaction, seller remains liable for all risk of loss and delay.
If GCO rejects a Gift Card for any reason, we may return the Gift Card to you using the address information you provide to GCO in your member profile. If we receive notice of a claim, a complaint, or
otherwise discover that the value of a Gift Card you sold to GCO has been depleted, expired or wasted, and we are able to verify such claim, we reserve the right to charge you a replacement fee equal to
the amount we paid to you for the Gift Card, plus bank charges and costs incurred by GCO. Seller agrees and authorizes GCO to immediately charge any such fees to you. You understand that depending
on the transaction it may take us GCO up to six (6) months to determine that a Gift Card you sold to us was obtained fraudulently, stolen, inactive, expired or depleted. Accordingly, it is agreed and
understood that if we determine at any later time that any Gift Card sold to GCO was acquired fraudulently, or if the card balance has negatively changed from the amount represented to GCO for any
previously non disclosed reason, you consent to and authorize GCO to charge‐back, reclaim, or withdraw our payment to you. If ACH was used as a method of payment, you authorize GCO in such a case
to make a withdrawal of the funds deposited. Likewise, if you, as the seller, have supplied GCO with credit card information, you authorize GCO to charge the applicable purchase amount to your credit
card. Seller further agrees that GCO is unsuccessful in making a withdrawal, charging your credit card, or charging‐back our payment, you will personally be responsible to issue a full refund to us
without delay. Any unpaid amounts due to GCO and not fully repaid within 30 days shall incur interest in the amount of 24% annually. In the event we are required to retain an attorney, or other
individual or entity to assist us in collecting moneys you owe to us, you will be responsible to compensate GCO for all such expenses and attorney fees incurred in such collection efforts.
When you sell a Gift Card on or through our Website, we guarantee: (i) we will pay you by check or any other means agreed‐upon and send payment within twenty (20) business days of the sale
transaction; and (ii) the payment amount will be calculated based on the value of the Gift Card you send to us (which we will verify upon receipt) and the discount rate you agreed to in connection with
the sale transaction. We are not responsible for any payments that are lost, or sent to an invalid party due to incorrect information submitted by seller.
3. BUYING GIFT CARDS FROM GIFT CARD OUTLETS.
Gift Cards will generally ship out to purchaser within 2‐3 business days from the time your order was placed. A USPS mail tracking number for transactions exceeding $200 will be provided by GCO. GCO
responsibility for any card purchased terminates as soon as the Gift Card is placed in the possession and control of the USPS, or any third party package handler.
It is mutually agreed and understood that all purchases are final and, with the exception below, we will accept no returns and issue no refunds or credits. However, if the funds available on the Gift Card
delivered and received by you is less than the one you purchased, or, if your purchased Gift Card is invalid, or not the correct merchant, retailer or brand, you may process a claim for a refund, provided
that (a) you submit a claim to [email protected] within 60 days of your purchase of the Gift Card, and (b), you complete and submit to GCO an affidavit as per our instructions. Upon our
receipt of any claim, we reserve the right to investigate and review the purchase history on the Gift Card in order to avoid abusive and dishonest practices. If we determine that your claim is valid, GCO, in
our discretion, will either provide you with a replacement Gift Card for the same merchant or issue you a refund for the disputed amount. You agree that a return will only be accepted by GCO if: (1) the
Gift Card is in the same condition in which it was received and is still valid; (2) the Gift Card has not been used since the date of your purchase; (3) the Gift Card is redeemable for the same amount of
credit that you state in your claim; (4) you are the sole owner of the Gift Card and the Gift Card is fully transferable to GCO without restriction, limitation or liens; and (5) you fully comply with all GCO
instructions regarding the return and shipping of the Gift Card back to us. It is agreed and understood that the replacement Gift Card, or full refund, shall be purchasers’ sole and exclusive remedy for
any valid claim made under this Agreement. In the event a good faith refund is made for any reason and GCO determines at a later date that the customer has fully or partially redeemed any previously
refunded gift card, GCO shall be permitted to charge, or debit any card or account on file with GCO, or available to GCO for the full amount owed, plus any fees or costs incurred.
