Please read these Terms carefully, as they constitute a legal agreement between you and Thnks.

By accessing or using the Platform, including, without limitation, by accessing‚ using‚ downloading or opening an account with‚ or ordering or receiving items, including digital, tangible and service-related items (“Thnks Items”) from, the Website or the App, you confirm your agreement to be bound by these Terms.

License and Intellectual Property

Subject to your compliance with these Terms‚ Thnks grants you a limited‚ non-exclusive, non-transferable personal license to access and use the Platform for the Platform’s intended purposes, namely, to send Thnks Items and to control, measure, record and report on such Thnks Items. This license grant does not include: (a) any resale or commercial use of the Platform or any content contained on the Website or in the App; (b) the collection and use of any product listings or descriptions; (c) use of any data mining‚ spiders, robots‚ or similar data gathering and extraction methods on the Platform. Except as noted above‚ you are not conveyed any express or implied right or license in or under any trademark‚ copyright‚ or other proprietary right of Thnks or any third party. Any use of the Platform not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark and other laws.

You may not use‚ frame or employ framing techniques to enclose any Thnks trademark‚ logo‚ content or other proprietary information (including the images found within the Platform‚ the content of any text or the layout/design of any page or form contained on a page). Further‚ you may not use any metatags, metadata, or any other “hidden text” using the Thnks name‚ trademark‚ or product name.

As between you and Thnks‚ the Platform‚ including all photographs‚ images‚ text‚ graphics‚ icons‚ audio clips‚ software‚ source code and other aspects thereof‚ and all improvements or modifications thereof‚ all derivative works based thereon‚ and the collection‚ arrangement‚ and assembly of the Platform‚ including all copyrights‚ trademarks‚ and other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the foregoing‚ are owned by Thnks or by Thnks’ suppliers and licensors. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be deemed to grant to you or any other person any rights‚ title or interest in or to any copyright‚ trademark or other proprietary right of Thnks or any of Thnks’ suppliers or licensors.

Any trademarks‚ service marks‚ and other marks and indicators of source or origin that are displayed within the Platform are the proprietary property of Thnks or their respective owners‚ as applicable. None of such marks may be used in connection with any other product or service in a manner that is likely to cause confusion among consumers‚ or to disparage or discredit the owner of such mark or its affiliates. Any trademarks of third parties that appear within the Platform are the property of their respective owners‚ who may or may not be affiliated with‚ connected to‚ or sponsored by Thnks. You may not use‚ copy‚ modify or display any of the trademarks‚ service marks‚ names or logos appearing within the Platform without the express written permission of the trademark owner.

If you make any unauthorized use of the Platform as determined by Thnks in its sole discretion, Thnks reserves the right to terminate the license granted by these Terms, including by disabling your User ID. In addition, unauthorized use may violate applicable law, including copyright laws‚ trademark laws (including tradedress)‚ and communications regulations and statutes. Thnks reserves the right to prosecute violators to the fullest extent of the law.

Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, and with no further action required of you or Thnks, you agree that each time you ask Thnks to send a Thnks Item, a communication to a third party or promotional item that includes your branding, you grant to Thnks a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, limited license to use your trademarks and trade dress solely in connection with, and to the extent necessary to allow Thnks to fulfill, such request.

Purchases

The Platform enables your purchase of Thnks Items for delivery to a designated recipient. Your purchase, and any inquiries or disputes regarding your purchase (including refunds or other adjustments associated with your purchase) are solely between you and Thnks. Thnks will provide you with a receipt for your purchase through the Platform or by email to the email address you provided to Thnks in connection with inputting your User ID. Thnks Items issued in the form of merchant gift cards are fulfilled by Thnks’ vendor partners and issued by the merchant identified on the gift card. Thnks does not issue, and has no financial obligation relating to you or anyone else, regarding merchant gift cards. Subject to the expiration dates described in these Terms, in the event a specific purchased Thnks Item is no longer available at the time of redemption, Thnks reserves the right to offer, in its discretion, substitute products or credits to purchase future Thnks Items with a value equivalent to the value of the unavailable Thnks Item at the time it was selected by the sender.

Pricing

Prices on the Platform include the retail cost for the Thnks Item being sent, a service charge retained by Thnks and such additional amounts, if any, that may be charged to the sender to ensure that the recipient is able to redeem, free of charge, the Thnks Item that such recipient is receiving regardless of the recipient’s location of receipt, such as charges for shipping or sales taxes, if applicable.

Credits

Thnks is not responsible for errors or omissions regarding the price of any Thnks Item available on the Platform or any other matter on any website linked to the Platform. Thnks reserves the right to correct any errors or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted an order). In the event of a pricing error or omission on an item you have ordered, Thnks reserves the right to cancel the order and refund the sender payment in the form of credits subject to expiration as described below.

Payment Methods and Expiration

Payment to send Thnks Items through the Platform may be in one of two ways: (i) through draw-downs against a pre-funded account balance (“Balance”), which may be funded either via a cash transfer, credit card charge, or a transaction refund or (ii) individual credit card charges for each Thnks Item sent. All credit card use is subject to a 2.9% processing fee.

Balance Draw Down Payment Method

Once funded, a Balance thereafter contains Thnks credits (”Credits”) which may be used on the Platform to purchase and send Thnks Items to recipients.  Credits are subject to refund to your Balance or expiration as follows:

  • Credits in a Balance which has not been used to send Thnks Items on the Platform in 365 days are subject to expiration.
  • Credits for a Thnks Item that has been delivered but gone unopened for a period of 30 days will be refunded to your Balance less the applicable Thnks service fee.
  • A Thnks Item that has been opened by a recipient but has gone unredeemed for a period of 365 days from the send date will be expired and the related Credits will expire.
  • In the event that a Thnks Item is digitally undeliverable (e.g. an undeliverable email address or cell number, a "Bounced Send"), all associated Credits will be immediately refunded to your Balance.
  • Promos will expire in accordance with their terms.
  • All refunds other than Bounced Sends will be processed on the 10th day of the month.

Credit Card Per Use Payment Method

For individuals on a Team who choose to pay per transaction via credit card rather than through a Balance draw down the following will apply:

  • In the event that the Thnks Item has been delivered but is unopened by the recipient for a period of 30 days, the value of that Thnks Item will be refunded to your credit card less the applicable Thnks service fee.
  • A Thnks Item that has been opened by a recipient but has gone unredeemed for a period of 365 days from the send date will be expired and the related value will expire.
  • In the event that a Thnks Item results in a Bounced Send all associated values will be immediately refunded to your credit card, e.g. an undeliverable email address or cell number.
  • Promos will expire in accordance with their terms.
  • All refunds other than Bounced Sends will be processed on the 10th day of the month.

Individuals not on a Team must pay via credit card per transaction and the following will apply:

  • A Thnks Item that has been opened by a recipient but has gone unredeemed for a period of 365 days from the send date will be expired and the related value will expire.
  • A Thnks Item that has been delivered but gone unopened for a period of 30 days will be refunded to your Balance less the applicable Thnks service fee.
  • In the event that a Thnks Item results in a Bounced Send all associated values will be immediately refunded to your credit card, e.g. an undeliverable email address or cell number.
  • Promos will expire in accordance with their terms.
  • All refunds other than Bounced Sends will be processed on the 10th day of the month.

Promotional Credits.

In certain circumstances Thnks may offer promotional credits (“Promos”). The use of Promos is subject to the following requirements:

  • Promos must be used solely in connection with the campaign or purpose for which they are being issued and only by the team to which, or person to whom, they are issued.
  • In the event of a co-promotion (i.e., the client is committing to spend a certain amount in order to receive the Promos), the amount committed to be spent by the client must be spent in full before access to the Promos will be provided.
  • Promos must be used not later than the date specified by Thnks (the “End Date”).
  • Thnks refund policy will not apply to Promos.

If you are utilizing the Platform as a recipient of a Thnks Item and you receive an email or App notification that you have received a Thnks Item, you must open the email or respond to the App notification within 30 days and, if no opening occurs or response is received by Thnks within 30 days, Thnks will cancel the Thnks Item and you will no longer be entitled to access, redeem or utilize the Thnks Item.

In no event will you be entitled to a cash refund with respect to your use of the Platform, including the sending or purchase of a Thnks Item. In the event Thnks determines in its discretion that a refund may be issued, such refund will be issued in the form of Thnks Credits with a value determined in accordance with the Terms above. Thnks is not a bank and does not offer banking, money service business services or money transmission services.

In the event a recipient of a Thnks decides to donate its value to a charity we will endeavor to make that donation to the charity and in the amount selected. However, from time to time the requirements of certain charities (minimum donation amounts, for example) may conflict with the request of the donor. In such situations Thnks may decide to make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to effect the overall intent of the donor.

BY UTILIZING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS, THAT EXPIRATION DATES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASES OF THNKS ITEMS, AND, AS SUCH, THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE THNKS CREDITS OR OTHER RIGHTS HEREUNDER ARE FORFEITED AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
