Thanks for using our products and services (“Services”). Please read these Terms of Service ("Agreement" or “Terms”) carefully before using GiftCode. This is a legally binding agreement, and you should read it carefully. By installing, using, or otherwise accessing our Services, you (the "user" or "you") agree to be bound by this Agreement, including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. This Agreement applies to all users of the Services, including without limitation users who are vendors, customers, merchants, or contributors of content, information and other materials or services.
1. Use of ServicesGiftCode MarketplaceGiftCode Marketplace, or “Marketplace”, acts as a venue to allow users who comply with GiftCodes policies to offer, sell and buy certain goods. GiftCode is not directly involved in the transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, GiftCode has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the items listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. GiftCode does not pre-screen users (except for services that require an application) or the content or information provided by users. GiftCode cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.
Consequently, GiftCode does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer. GiftCode cannot guarantee the true identity, age, and nationality of a user. GiftCode encourages you to communicate directly with potential transaction partners through the tools available on the App.
You agree that GiftCode Marketplace is a venue and as such GiftCode is not responsible or liable for any content, for example, data, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links posted by you, other users, or outside parties on GiftCode Marketplace. You use GiftCode Marketplace at your own risk.

GiftCode, in its sole discretion, may inspect and verify (i) details related to the listing sold on Marketplace, (ii) the buyer of the Marketplace listing, and (iii) the seller of the Marketplace listing. As a part of the verification process, GiftCode may require the buyer or seller to provide additional identification information, including, without limitation, a copy of a valid driver's license (or other form of government issued identification) prior to or during the transaction. Users may also be asked to go through additional security procedures and share additional information to confirm their identity. GiftCode reserves the right to reject any item that we believe (in our sole discretion) may: (i) be fraudulent, invalid, inauthentic or stolen, (ii) have come from an unauthorized or illegal source, (iii) be related to any illegal activity or (iv) otherwise pose a financial risk to us or our users.
You agree and acknowledge that payment processing services are provided by third parties (the "Payment Processors"), including but not limited to Skrill USA., and are subject to the respective service agreements (collectively, the "Payment Services Agreement"). By using the Services, you agree to be bound by the terms in this section and the Payment Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by us or by the Payment Processors from time to time.
