5.GIVE INKIND PLUS SERVICE.
5.1 Give InKind offers… (the “GiK Plus Service“) The Give InKind Plus Service empowers recipients to choose what they really want among the following options: physical reward cards, digital reward cards, Zelle transfer, or card-to-card gifting. The flexible redemption options let recipients choose from thousands of brands, securely activated to their personal debit or credit cards or swap for a versatile Visa gift card.
To receive the benefits of a GiK Plus product, the recipient of the product must register a valid payment method and use the registered method at the designated merchant participating in the GiK Plus Program (“GiK Plus Merchant“). A valid payment method for the GiK Plus Service is one that is accepted by Give InKind in its sole discretion and may include, but is not limited to, a credit card, a debit card, and a financial institution account.
GiK Plus product(s) are activated when (a) Purchaser selects or offers one or more GiK Plus product(s) for the recipient to receive at a GiK Plus Merchant, (b) Purchaser pays for the GiK Plus product(s); (c) we provide notice to the recipient that Purchaser has selected and procured one or more GiK Plus product(s) usable at a GiK Plus Merchant for the recipient, and (d) recipient registers an eligible payment card or financial institution account with us.
GiK Plus product(s) are redeemed by recipient when (a) recipient, using recipient’s registered card or financial institution account, makes a purchase of goods and/or services from the participating GiK Plus Merchant(s) (“Qualifying Purchase“), (b) we are notified of the Qualifying Purchase; and (c) recipient’s registered card or financial institution account is credited up to the applicable amount of the GiK Plus product(s).
5.2 Give InKind Plus Refundable Product. The Give InKind Plus Service also allows you, as Purchaser, to select a Give InKind Plus Refundable product (“GiK Plus Refundable Product“) for an additional fee. The GiK Plus Refundable Product allows you to reclaim the gift funds if your recipient has not claimed them within six months of their delivery (the “Unclaimed Funds“). The Unclaimed Funds are returned to your Give InKind funds account, less applicable fees.
5.3 Give InKind Plus Fees and Limitations. The following fees and limitations appy to GiK Plus products:
5.3.1 Each GiK Plus product generally can only be used at the specific GiK Plus Merchant designated by the Purchaser.
5.3.2 Certain fees apply to GiK Plus products and GiK Plus Refundable Products. In certain instances, depending upon the specific GiK Plus Merchant and the specific GiK Plus product and GiK Plus Refundable Product, an administrative and/or processing fees may be added to the face amount of a GiK Plus product and GiK Plus Refundable Product. In certain additional instances, we may allow a recipient, for a fee, to select a different GiK Plus Merchant than the GiK Plus Merchant designated by a Purchaser, or, rather than redeem a GiK Plus product, to select a “closed-loop” e-gift code for the GiK Plus Merchant designated by a Purchaser or to select an “open-loop” gift card. Purchasers and recipients, as applicable, will be informed of the applicability and amount of any fees prior to the time of their imposition.
5.3.3 A GiK Plus product may not be redeemed for cash, unless required by applicable law.
5.3.4 A Purchaser may write to us to request a cancellation of a GiK Plus product, for up to ninety days after purchase, if the Recipient’s registered payment method does not allow the Recipient to accept and use the GiK Plus product within that time period.
5.3.5 The foregoing fees and limitations are subject to change.
5.4 Give InKind Plus Disclosure. You understand and agree that the GiK Plus Service is not sponsored or endorsed by the business entities (including Card Networks) we partner with in order to provide you with the GiK Plus Service and that they make no warranties with respect to, and have no liability in connection with, the GiK Plus Service.
To the extent that transactions are made involving a registered payment card, please note that not all such transactions can be monitored by the applicable Card Network for purposes of the GiK Plus Service. We and the Card Network will not have liability for the failure of a Qualifying Purchase to be posted. Not all Visa, MasterCard, and American Express cards are eligible for registration. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express Corporate cards, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express Purchasing cards, non-reloadable prepaid cards, government-administered prepaid cards (including EBT cards), healthcare (including Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or insurance prepaid cards, Visa Buxx, and Visa-, MasterCard-, and American Express- branded cards whose transactions are not processed through the Visa U.S.A payment system, MasterCard payment system, and/or American Express payment system are not eligible to participate).
Once you as Purchaser select a GiK Plus product for recipient, the amount of the GiK Plus product will be charged to your payment card or financial institution account and transferred to an account at an FDIC insured bank where such funds are held until the recipient’s Qualifying Purchase at the designated GiK Plus Merchant is confirmed. Upon confirmation, the GiK Plus funds up to the amount of the Qualifying Purchase will be credited to the Recipient’s registered payment card or financial institution account.

Any list of examples following “including” or “e.g.,” is illustrative and not exhaustive, unless qualified by terms like “only” or “solely.” Give InKind’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on Give InKind if it is in a written document signed by Give InKind. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants and restrictions will remain in full force and effect. You and Give InKind intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
