Introduction

These Terms and Conditions of Use apply to all Gift Cards issued by Community Care Chemist.

Your purchase, redemption and general use of a Community Care Chemist gift card is subject to the following terms and conditions. Any use or attempted use of a Community Care Chemist gift card constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Please treat your Gift Card like cash. Damaged, lost or stolen cards will not be replaced, refunded or redeemed. This card is redeemable for products and services at Community Care Chemist Stores only. Not redeemable for cash. This card will expire 1 year from the issue date. Any unused amount after the expiry date of this card will not be refunded or credited. We reserve the right to change any terms in the Terms of Use at any time.

Redemption

Once loaded with value your Gift Card may be redeemed for purchases at all Community Care Chemist Pharmacy Stores. A current list of Community Care Chemist Pharmacies can be found here: www.communitycarechemist.com.au. If the purchase exceeds the available Gift Card amount, the balance must be paid by other available payment options. The Gift Card must be redeemed within the validity period.

In-store Gift Card purchases

Present the Gift Card to our point of sale operator. If it has been tampered with, give the Gift Card to our point of sale operator to be destroyed and select a new one. Nominate the value you wish to be loaded on the Gift Card.

Pay for your Gift Card value with the tender of your choice (other than a Gift Card). The transaction will be completed when the Gift Card is activated and loaded with value. Gift cards are not reloadable. No change will be given.

Making a purchase with your Gift Card

Present your Gift Card at the point of sale at a participating Community Care Chemist store with the merchandise that you wish to purchase using that Gift Card. Our point of sale operator will deduct the amount form the Gift Card. The transaction will be completed when the balance has reduced on your Gift Card.

No change will be given for any Remaining Gift Card Value. The Remaining Gift Card Value may be used in whole or part against future purchases until the Gift Card expires.

You agree that we can reduce the Remaining Gift Card Value by the value of all purchases of goods and services that are authorised by you. Transactions are authorised by you, by giving us details of the Gift Card and authorising the transaction in a way approved by us.

When you authorise a transaction:

1. you are confirming that the transaction correctly represents the purchase price of the goods or services obtained;
2. you are agreeing to pay the amount of that transaction by the reduction of the Remaining Gift Card Value.

Exchanging items purchased with a Gift Card

Goods that are purchased solely, or in part with a Gift Card may be exchanged or returned subject to Community Care Chemist exchange and returns policy. Community Care Chemist has the discretion to refund the payment provided on to your original gift card, or may issue you with a new gift card as part of the refund.

Exchanges or refunds for change of mind cannot be offered for:

• Gift cards and vouchers;
• Prescription medicines and pharmacist-only medicines (available from Community Care Chemist Pharmacies only);
• Other products advertised as being non-refundable for change of mind.

No cash advances

Gift Cards are not legal tender, account cards, credit or debit cards or securities. You cannot obtain any cash advance with your Gift Card, redeem your Gift Card for cash or receive any portion of the Remaining Gift Card Value in cash.

Gift Card Exchanges

You cannot exchange your Gift Card for a different denomination, design or type of Gift Card or for another tender, cash or discount.

Expiry of Gift Cards

Your Gift Card will be valid for use for 12 months from the date of issue (or as otherwise extended by us) after such time it will be invalid. You should use all of the Remaining Gift Card Value before the expiry date. It is up to the cardholder to use the full value within the validity period. Any unused balance will not be refunded or credited when the Gift Card expires. Unused balances will remain the property of Community Care Chemist.
