Gift card conditions

Introduction

By purchasing, accepting or using the eBay Gift Card in physical or digital form (“Gift Card“) and in consideration for your right to use the Gift Card, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions“) and the terms and conditions contained in the eBay User Agreement (the “eBay User Agreement“). In these Terms and Conditions, “you” and “your” means the cardholder who has purchased or received a Gift Card. “We” or “our” means eBay Gift Card Services, Inc., and eBay Inc., as applicable.

The terms and conditions of the eBay User Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. Please be advised that the eBay User Agreement contains provisions that govern how claims you and we have against each other are resolved (see section entitled “Legal Disputes” in the eBay User Agreement). It also contains an arbitration agreement section entitled “Agreement to Arbitrate”, which will, with limited exceptions, require you to submit claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt out of the arbitration agreement (see the “Legal Disputes” provision in the eBay User Agreement). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and those contained in the eBay User Agreement, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
