This Cardholder/Virtual Accountholder Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions under which a ChooseYourCard Gift Card, Zift Zillions of Gifts Gift Card, or GetYourGift Gift Card ("Card/Virtual Account") has been issued to you by Pathward®, National Association. By accepting and using this Card/Virtual Account, activating the Card/Virtual Account, or authorizing any person to use the Card/Virtual Account, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. In this Agreement "You" and "your" mean the person or persons who have received the Card/Virtual Account and are authorized to use the Card/Virtual Account. "We," "us," and "our" mean collectively, Pathward, National Association, a federally chartered bank, member FDIC, and its divisions or assignees, and also includes, unless otherwise indicated, our Program Manager. "Program Manager" refers to Interactive Communications International, Inc., who performs certain services related to your Card/Virtual Account on Pathward, National Association's behalf. The Card/Virtual Account may be canceled or revoked at any time without prior notice, subject to applicable law. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference. This Agreement applies to both the purchaser and any other user of the Card/Virtual Account. It is the purchaser's obligation to provide these terms and conditions to any user; however, new terms and conditions may be provided, or any other questions or concerns answered, by contacting Customer Service. 

1.        ABOUT YOUR CARD
The Card/Virtual Account is a prepaid Card/Virtual Account loaded with a specific amount of funds, redeemable on the website indicated on your Card/Virtual Account ONLY. No additional funds may be added to this Card/Virtual Account. The Card/Virtual Account is NOT a credit card. The Card/Virtual Account is not a checking account or connected in any way to any account other than a stored value account where your funds are held. 
Pathward, NA will act as custodian of your funds upon its receipt of your funds. Once your Card/Virtual Account is activated, you will be able to provide Pathward, as custodian, with instructions about the funds accessible through the Card/Virtual Account. Activation of the Card/Virtual Account authorizes us to hold your funds at Pathward or as custodian to place your funds at one or more participating banks (each a "Program Bank"). If you do not agree to your funds being held by us at Pathward or placed by Pathward as custodian at other Program Banks, please immediately spend all the funds on your Card/Virtual Account. Card/Virtual Account funds are not FDIC insured. 

2.        USING YOUR CARD
a.        Accessing Funds and Limitations
You may use your Card/Virtual Account on line by visiting the website indicated on your Card/Virtual Account. Each time you use your Card/Virtual Account, you authorize us to reduce the value available on your Card/Virtual Account by the amount of the transaction. If selecting multiple partner virtual cards, ensure your remaining balance meets the minimum purchase threshold. Remaining Card/Virtual Account funds valued below the minimum purchase threshold will not be refunded or be available for transfer to another Card/Virtual Account. Your Card/Virtual Account cannot be: (1) redeemed for its cash value; (2) used to obtain cash in any transaction; (3) used for illegal transactions; (4) used to make foreign transactions; (5) used for purchases where recurring payments may occur, such as subscriptions, memberships, rentals, etc.; (6) used to purchase other gift cards/virtual accounts; or (7) used to purchase money orders. For security reasons, we may limit the amount, type, or number of transactions you can make on your Card/Virtual Account and or limit the acceptance of your Card/Virtual Account at certain merchants or websites. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EXCEED THE BALANCE OF THE FUNDS AVAILABLE ON YOUR CARD/VIRTUAL ACCOUNT. If you attempt to use the Card/Virtual Account when there are insufficient funds associated with it, the transaction will generally be declined. Nevertheless, if a transaction that exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card/Virtual Account occurs due to a systems malfunction or otherwise, you will remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction. You are responsible for all transactions initiated by use of the Card/Virtual Account. If you permit another person to have access to the Card/Virtual Account or Card/Virtual Account number, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions by those persons. You are wholly responsible for the use of each Card/Virtual Account according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Your Card/Virtual Account is valid in the U.S. only and ONLY on the website indicated on your Card/Virtual Account. It cannot be used at merchants outside of the United States, including internet and mail/telephone order merchants outside of the United States. Virtual Accounts may be used for electronic commerce only and will not be accepted for purchases at physical retail locations. 

b.        Obtaining Card Balance Information
You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining on your Card/Virtual Account at no charge by contacting Customer Service. This information is also available on line by visiting the website indicated on your Card/Virtual Account or calling the phone number indicated on or with your Card/Virtual Account. It may also be possible to request a written copy of Card/Virtual Account transactions by contacting Customer Service. 

c.        Authorization Holds
You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of your Card/Virtual Account. With certain types of purchases (such as those made at restaurants, hotels, or similar purchases), your Card/Virtual Account may be "preauthorized" for an amount greater than the transaction amount to cover gratuity or incidental expenses. Any preauthorization amount will place a "hold" on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. During this time, you will not have access to preauthorized amounts. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds. 

d.        Returns and Refunds
If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card/Virtual Account, the return and refund will be handled by the merchant. 

e.        Receipts
You may wish to retain receipts as a record of transactions. You may need a receipt in order to verify a transaction with us or the merchant. 

3.        REPLACEMENT CARD
If you need to replace your Card/Virtual Account for any reason, please contact Customer Service. Please note that your Card/Virtual Account has a "Valid Thru" date on the Card/Virtual Account. You may not use the Card/Virtual Account after the "Valid Thru" date. However, even if the "valid Thru" date has passed, the available funds on your Card/Virtual Account do not expire. You will not be charged a fee for replacement cards/codes that we send due to expiration of the Card/Virtual Account. 

4.        COMMUNICATIONS
You agree that we may monitor and record any calls or other communications between us and you. You also agree that we or our service providers may contact you by using an automated dialing or email system, by text, or artificial or recorded voice. You agree to pay any service charges assessed by your plan provider for communications we send or make to you or that you send or make to us. 

5.        UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS
If you believe your Card/Virtual Account has been lost or stolen or an unauthorized transaction has been made using the information from your Card/Virtual Account without your permission, contact Customer Service IMMEDIATELY. We will ask for the Card or Virtual Account number and other identifying details. We may not be able to assist you if you do not have the Card or Virtual Account number or do not provide us with the requested information. We may not be able to assist you if you do not contact us within sixty (60) days of the unauthorized transaction. If we issue a replacement Card/Virtual Account, the replacement Card/Virtual Account will have a value equal to the remaining balance on the Card/Virtual Account at the time you notified us of the loss or theft or unauthorized transaction. The balance will be temporarily unavailable until you activate your replacement Card/Virtual Account. NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR AMOUNTS DEBITED FROM THE CARD/VIRTUAL ACCOUNT BEFORE YOU NOTIFY US. We will charge a fee if noted in the fee table above (subject to applicable law) for any lost/stolen Card or Virtual Account, which will be deducted from the balance on the Card/Virtual Account. A reissued Card/Virtual Account may take up to thirty (30) days to process. 

6.        NO WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased with a Card/Virtual Account. Further, we will not be liable: (1) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available on your Card/Virtual Account to complete the transaction; (2) If a merchant refuses to accept your Card/Virtual Account; (3) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly; (4) If access to your Card/Virtual Account has been blocked after you reported your Card/Virtual Account lost or stolen; (5) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction; or 6) For any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
