The primary function of this service is to enable the purchase of an E-GIFT CARD online. This purchase may be effected by a single person (direct purchase) or multiple persons (group gift). The primary functionalities are listed below and are non-exhaustive:
The INITIATOR has the option of writing a personalized message that will be displayed on the GIFT VOUCHER. The MERCHANT is not responsible for the messages written by the INITIATOR and cannot guarantee their veracity. By adding content or information, you thereby give your irrevocable consent to use this content in order to process it for the needs of the service. The MERCHANT will use all information exclusively in conformance with its policy of respect for privacy. The provided content cannot:(a) infringe upon the intellectual property rights of a third party; (b) violate existing law in France; (c) be defamatory, insulting or threatening; or (d) be obscene or related to pedophilia. The MERCHANT reserves the right to erase any personalized content provided, at its sole discretion, with or without notice.
The MERCHANT is the owner of all PERSONAL DATA transmitted during use of the service. These may be used for commercial purposes. As such, as the party responsible for processing, the MERCHANT agrees to comply with the legal provisions applicable to the computerized processing of personal data and in particular the obligations imposed by Law No.78-17 "Information Technology and Freedom/" Any user may request deletion of all his/her PERSONAL DATA using the contact link available at the bottom of the page of the WEBSITE.
The INITIATOR has the option to ask others to access an E-GIFT CARD that is not yet finalized, in other words when the GIFT VOUCHER has not yet been issued. For this purpose, the INITIATOR is provided with a link that can be shared with others via his/her e-mail service or any other means of his/her choice. The INITIATOR assumes responsibility for the diffusion of this link. Any visitor who accesses the contribution page of an E-GIFT CARD via a shared link is acknowledged to have done so at the express request of the INITIATOR. Any visitor accessing the contribution page via the shared link has the right to participate in an E-GIFT CARD by making a financial contribution via the available means of payment. When the visitor accesses the contribution page of the GIFT E-CARD, the name of the INITIATOR and that of the BENEFICIARY will be clearly displayed. Any PARTICIPANT is assumed to know the INITIATOR and the BENEFICIARY. Before making a contribution to an E-GIFT CARD, it is the responsibility of the visitor to ascertain the authenticity of the request from the INITIATOR. In case of doubt, the visitor is obliged to verify this directly with the INITIATOR. The MERCHANT will not be held responsible for an error on the part of a PARTICIPANT.
Once the E-GIFT CARD is finalized, it is issued in the form of a GIFT VOUCHER and sent by e-mail to the INITIATOR. If he/she has selected the "send by e-mail" option, the BENEFICIARY will also receive the GIFT VOUCHER at the e-mail address provided by the INITIATOR.
The GIFT VOUCHER may not be received in the following cases:
When a GIFT E-CARD is purchased, the transfer of ownership from the MERCHANT to the INITIATOR is effected upon issuance of the GIFT VOUCHER. The INITIATOR assumes complete responsibility for ceding and transmitting the GIFT VOUCHER to a BENEFICIARY, the third party of his/her choice, including when the INITIATOR selects the option "send to the beneficiary by e-mail." Use of the GIFT E-CARD as payment is based on the use of a code printed on the GIFT VOUCHER. The INITIATOR must keep the code and the GIFT VOUCHER secret. The MERCHANT may not be held responsible in cases of an error on the part of the BENEFICIARY, loss of or fraudulent use of the code. Similarly, once the INITIATOR transfers the GIFT E-CARD to a BENEFICIARY, the latter is acknowledged to have accepted the transfer of rights and the Terms of Use of the E-GIFT CARD specified in the supporting documentation.
The GIFT E-CARD has a validity period of 365 days. Beyond this period, expired E-GIFT CARDS are closed and the unused balance is lost. The expiration date appears on the GIFT VOUCHER.
Use of the E-GIFT CARD as payment is based on the use of a code printed on the corresponding GIFT VOUCHER. The BENEFICIARY agrees to take all appropriate measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of this code. The MERCHANT may not be held responsible for the loss of supporting documentation containing the code or fraudulent use of the code. If the electronic documentation of the GIFT VOUCHER is lost, the BENEFICIARY must contact the INITIATOR to obtain a new electronic copy. If the INITIATOR has also lost the electronic documentation (resulting from, for example, the erasure of the e-mail containing this information), the INITIATOR may receive an electronic copy by making such a request via the contact link provided at the bottom of the WEBSITE page. In such case, the electronic copy will be resent to the e-mail address of the INITIATOR that was used to carry out the initial purchase.
