SCHUTZ GIFT CARDS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

By purchasing or using a Schutz Gift Card, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which govern the issuance, purchase, retention, use, and disposal of such gift cards.

• SCHUTZ GIFT CARDS:

The term “Schutz Gift Card” refers to an (1) electronic promise, (2) physical card, (3) gift certificate, (4) store credit card, (5) or other payment or stored-value device that is issued by Schutz and is: (i) redeemable at Schutz stores and at schutz-shoes.com; (ii) issued in a specified amount; (iii) purchased on a prepaid basis in exchange for full payment; and (iv) upon presentation, honored by Schutz for goods or services.

We offer Schutz Gift Cards to make it easier for you to shop with us and to make your relationship with us more rewarding. The dollar value that you load onto your card is a prepayment for eligible goods and services. Schutz Gift Cards can be issued up to a maximum value of $300.00 and may be redeemed only towards the purchase of eligible goods and services sold by Schutz in Schutz stores and at schutz-shoes.com. Eligible goods and services are subject to change at the company’s sole discretion.

Schutz Gift Cards may not be used or redeemed with certain promotional offers, must be used with the account to which it is linked upon payment, and may not be used to purchase other Schutz Gift Cards. The term Schutz Gift Card does not include a gift card or similar stored-credit device issued by any merchant other than Schutz. Schutz Gift Cards are non-refundable, non-reloadable, cannot be increased in value, may not be resold or transferred for value, may not be returned or canceled after purchase, and may not be redeemed for cash, except pursuant to the limited redemption provision set forth below.

After entering your Schutz Gift Card during checkout, the balance will immediately be deducted from the order total. If your order total exceeds the amount on your gift card, you can pay the remainder with a credit or debit card, PayPal account, product voucher, additional gift card(s), or cash. Any remaining balance on a Schutz Gift Card after a purchase can be used for future purchases.

Refunds for orders paid with a Schutz Gift Card are applied to the gift card. If you return an order purchased with multiple Schutz Gift Cards, the total dollar value will be refunded to the most recently purchased gift card. If you return a product purchased with multiple methods of payment, the refund is first applied to the credit or debit card or PayPal account, up to the original amount charged, and then to the gift card.

The value on your Schutz Gift Card is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and does not earn interest.

• EXPIRATION DATES:

Schutz Gift Cards do not expire. However, under some states’ laws, gift cards, gift certificates, and similar forms of customer credit that are not used by the holder within, or are inactive for, a prescribed period of time will be deemed to be abandoned and to escheat either to the state or to the merchant.

• FEES:

Schutz does not impose dormancy, inactivity, maintenance, or service fees on Schutz Gift Cards.

• REDEMPTION FOR CASH:

The holder of a Schutz Gift Card with a balance of less than $10.00 in California, and a balance of $5.00 or less in all other states, may redeem that balance by requesting redemption in a Schutz store, or by phone at +1 (661) 724 8890. In such instances, Schutz will provide the customer with the refund by a check to be issued by mail within 30 calendar days after the customer’s request. No purchase by the holder is required to initiate redemption as long as the Schutz Gift Card has a balance that qualifies for redemption. Schutz will not redeem or refund the value of Schutz Gift Cards absent a request by the holder to do so.

Schutz may require personal information about the person who presents the Schutz Gift Card for redemption or who will receive the refund, including but not limited to the person’s name, physical address, email address, telephone number, and driver’s license. The personal information provided will be used only for the purpose for which it is collected, i.e., identification of the person who requests or will receive the refund, and processing of the refund.

• RELOADING THE GIFT CARD:

Schutz Gift Cards are not reloadable and may not be increased in value by the purchaser or the holder of the Schutz Gift Card.

• REPLACEMENT:

Lost or stolen Schutz Gift Cards are the responsibility of the holder, and will not be replaced by Schutz. At Schutz’s discretion, inoperable gift cards with remaining value may be replaced when the gift card is presented in person at a Schutz store by the gift card holder and the account is verified by Schutz.

• FRAUD:

Schutz reserves the right to not accept any Schutz Gift Card, and to limit or prohibit use of any Schutz Gift Card and the balance associated therewith, if we reasonably believe that the use is unauthorized, fraudulent, otherwise unlawful, the result of a card mistakenly issued in an incorrect denomination, or the result of violation of these terms and conditions. Schutz does not accept, or recognize the validity of, Schutz Gift Cards purchased from third-party sellers and resellers of pre-paid gift cards, and does not guarantee the legitimacy of any such cards. Such cards may be fraudulent and may have been purchased from Schutz using stolen credit cards or credit card information.

If Schutz discovers that any Schutz Gift Card or balance was sourced or derived from fraud or other unlawful means, or in the event of any violation of these terms and conditions, in our sole discretion we may cancel, suspend, reject or hold any or all impacted Schutz Gift Cards or orders, and retain any or all related funds or card balances, without notice or liability to you. We may use retained Schutz Gift Card balances to help offset our liability to card companies, networks, and issuers of lost or stolen credit and debit cards used to purchase or load Schutz Gift Cards.

Schutz has no liability to you for any third-party fraud or unlawful activity associated with any balance on your Schutz Gift Card.

• ADDITIONAL SHOPS:

Please be advised that our gift cards are exclusively valid for purchases made directly through our store and cannot be used at any other retail or wholesale establishments that carry our products. 

• CANCELLATION:

Schutz reserves the right to terminate at any time any or all Schutz Gift Cards without cause. In such event, we will refund or issue store credits equal to the balance on the canceled card(s), less any amounts that you may owe us.

• GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND NO CLASS ACTIONS:

These terms and conditions constitute an agreement between you and Schutz regarding your acquisition and use of Schutz Gift Cards. All terms and conditions are applicable to the extent permitted by law. If any of these terms and conditions are deemed invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, that unenforceable term will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining terms and conditions.

Use of a Schutz Gift Card or website constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions and of the Schutz Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time, without notice and in our sole discretion.

Should any dispute arise between Schutz and the purchaser or holder of a Schutz Gift Card, the purchaser or holder agrees that such dispute will be resolved as described below.

(a) GOVERNING LAW: THESE TERMS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, AND SPECIFICALLY WILL NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE.

YOU AND WE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU OR WE HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL.
