5.2. Use of your own personal data: We respect your privacy and take data protection seriously. In addition to these terms, our privacy policy sets out in detail how we process your own personal data that you enter into MicroGifts, like your name and email address.
5.3. Use of personal data you enter about others: Depending on where your contacts are based, our privacy policy may also apply to the personal data of others (such as your customers, suppliers, and employees) that you enter into MicroGifts.
5.4. Anonymised statistical data: When you use our services, we may create anonymised statistical data from your data and usage of our services, including through aggregation. Once anonymised, we may use it for our own purposes, such as to provide and improve our services, to develop new services or product offerings, to identify business trends, and for other uses we communicate to you.
5.5. Data breach notifications: Where we think there has been unauthorised access to personal data inside your subscription, we will let you know and give you information about what has happened. Depending on the nature of the unauthorised access, and the location of your affected contacts, you may be required to assess whether the unauthorised access must be reported to the contact and/or a relevant authority. We think you are best placed to make this decision, because you will have the most knowledge about the personal data stored in your subscription.
5.6 Disclosure of your personal information: We may disclose your personal information to any of our employees, officers, insurers, professional advisers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy.

6.1. Keeping it confidential: While using our services, you may share confidential information with us, and you may become aware of confidential information about us. You and we both agree to take reasonable steps to protect the other party’s confidential information from being accessed by unauthorised individuals. You or we may share each other’s confidential information with legal or regulatory authorities if required to do so.
7. Security
7.1. Security safeguards: We have invested in technical, physical and administrative safeguards to do our part to help keep your data safe and secure. While we have taken steps to help protect your data, no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify you if there appears to be unauthorised access to your account and we may also restrict access to certain parts of our services until you verify that access was by an authorised user.
7.2. Account security features: We may introduce security features to make your account more secure, such as two-step authentication. Depending on where you are in the world or what services you are using, we may require you to adopt some of these features. Where we make the use of security features optional, you are responsible (meaning we’re not liable) for any consequences of not using those features. We strongly encourage you to use all optional security features.
7.3. Playing your part to secure your data: You have an important part to play by keeping your login details secure, not letting any other person use them, and by making sure you have strong security on your own systems. If you realise there has been any unauthorised use of your password or any breach of security to your account or email address linked to your account, you need to let us know immediately. You also agree not to use free-form fields in any of MicroGifts’ systems or services to store personal data, (unless it’s a field explicitly asking for personal data – like a first name or last name) credit card details, tax identifiers or bank account details.
8. Maintenance, downtime and data loss
8.1. Availability: We strive to maintain the availability of our services, and provide online support, 24 hours a day. On occasion, we need to perform maintenance on our services, and this may require a period of downtime. We try to minimise any such downtime. Where planned maintenance is being undertaken, we’ll attempt to notify you in advance but can’t guarantee it.
8.2. Access issues: You know how the internet works – occasionally you might not be able to access our services and your data. This might happen for any number of reasons, at any time.

10. Disputes
10.1. Treat MicroGifts like Cash: Once a MicroGift has been sent to a recipient, the ownership of the card balance has been transferred to the owner, just like cash, once the card is in the recipient’s wallet MicroGifts cannot cancel cards, nor find lost or stolen cards. MicroGifts does not have access to electronic wallets – only the registered wallet owner has access. Please treat MicroGifts as Cash.
10.2. Individual Dispute resolution: Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and to everyone’s satisfaction by contacting our support team. If we are unable to resolve your individual card complaint to your satisfaction, we recommend you raise with the entity account owner who sent the card. MicroGifts can only deal with disputes raised through the entity account owner.
10.3. Events outside our control: We are not liable to you for any failure or delay in performance of any of our obligations under these terms arising out of any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control.
10.4. Notices: Any notice you send to MicroGifts must be sent to support@microgifts.com Any notices we send to you will be sent to the email address you have provided us through your subscription.
10.5. Consumer laws: In some places, there may be non-excludable warranties, guarantees or other rights provided by law (non-excludable consumer guarantees). They still apply – these terms do not exclude, restrict, or modify them.
a. Except for non-excludable consumer guarantees and other rights, you have that we cannot exclude:
b. We are bound only by the express promises made in these terms.
c. Our liability for breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited, at our option, to either replacing or paying the cost of replacing the relevant service (unless the non-excludable consumer guarantee says otherwise).
10.6. Export limitations: You must not use our services in violation of any export or trade embargo laws that apply to you.
10.7. Changes to these terms: We sometimes will decide to change these terms of use. Generally, we endeavour to provide notice of material changes to account owners before they become effective. If a change is not material, we will not notify you.
10.8. Enforcement of terms: If there is any part of these terms that either one of us is unable to enforce, we will ignore that part but everything else will remain enforceable.
10.9. Interpretation: Words like ‘include’ and ‘including’ are not words of limitation and where anything is within our discretion, we mean our sole discretion.
10.10. MicroGifts contracting entities; law and venue: The contracting entity for Australian accounts is listed on the entity account contract agreed at the time of opening the account.
