e) Once you have placed an order for a gift card, you will receive an order confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your order. This email is not an acceptance of your gift card purchase, just a confirmation that it is in process.

card;
e. The business owner will not be responsible for and will not respect gift cards
that will be stolen or duplicated;
f. The gift card might not be available for redemption immediately, as some of the businesses are not currently operating, and such gift cards will become redeemable only after the war is over and the chosen business is back to business;
g. In case the business owner cannot go back to business, for any reason, and its business does not longer exist, the gift card purchased will not be valid and will not be redeemable in such business or any other business from the Website, unless otherwise required by law;

A consumer who is a person with disability, a person aged 65 or older or a new immigrant, in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law, is entitled to cancel such a transaction within a period of 4 months.
Please note that, in case of cancellation in accordance with the Consumer Protection Law, the business owner shall issue the refund within days 14 of receiving the cancellation notice and must provide you with a copy of the cancelled charge.
