Simply on how it works
Team members willing to contribute to a gift card can send a custom amount of money
and leave a congratulatory message. The funds are received, accumulated, and
transferred to a global gift card marketplace - GoGift. The birthday person receives
the wishes along with a link to their Global Gift Card - their personal e-wallet at
this marketplace and can use the funds to get a gift card of their choice (or a few of
them) in the chosen country đź’–
Applicable for Group gift cards:
1. BirthdayBot reaches out to the birthday person 8 days in advance to ask if they are fine with receiving a gift card. Users need to explicitly refuse to opt out.
2. The teammates get a chance to add to a gift card by clicking a button in their personal reminders. The same button will appear under the public celebration message in the channel. Payments are accepted before the birthday and 6 hours after BirthdayBot sends a message to the Celebration Channel. In the case of group gifting, the size of each contribution remains undisclosed.
3. BirthdayBot accumulates money via the Stripe payment service, sends a congratulatory message with the names of contributors, and announces the total net amount sent. This amount is used to purchase a Global Gift Card at the gift card marketplace.
4. Upon receipt of a Global Gift Card, the recipient may access the list of participating stores and brands available in their location. The card balance can be redeemed for one or more gift cards or donated to a charity of the recipient's choice.
Applicable for Anytime gift cards:
1. Anytime gift cards are created for belated birthday gifts and pleasant surprises for other occasions. Donations from gift card givers are not accumulated, the cards are sent to the recipient separately.
2. BirthdayBot receives payments via the Stripe payment service, where the senders enter the amount and may leave a congratulatory message. After the payment, the funds are transfered to the gift card marketplace to be spent on a Global gift card.
3. Upon receipt of a Global Gift Card, the recipient may access the list of participating stores and brands available in their location. The card balance can be redeemed for one or more gift cards or donated to a charity of the recipient's choice.
Acceptance of Terms
By using the BirthdayBot Contribution Gift Card Service (hereinafter referred to as "the Service”, “BirthdayBot”, or “Bot"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
Description of the Service
The Group gift card feature is available for all BirthdayBot users, and the Contribute to a gift buttons are enabled by default when installing BirthdayBot. The Anytime gift card feature is also available to all users at request.
As of this document's publication date, the Global gift card is available for users within the USA and 40+ other countries. The list of countries is approximate and subject to change. The most up-to-date list of available countries can be found on GoGift 's website and during redeeming the gift card.
Details for Group gift cards
The Contribute to a gift button is by default available under public celebration messages in the channel as well as in personal reminders sent to channel members. Admins and channel owners can go to BirthdayBot settings anytime and leave it in both places, only in one of them, or in none of them.
The Group gift card feature is separately managed for every Celebration Channel by BirthdayBot admins and Celebration Channel owners. This way participation in the activity and gifts to coworkers are voluntary.
Between 14 and 8 days before the birthday, BirthdayBot initiates contact with the individual in question to inquire if they wish to receive a gift. Users willing to opt out need to press the No, thank you button, otherwise, the Service is considered enabled, and BirthdayBot is getting ready to reach out to teammates and announce gift card contribution activities.
Subsequently, the birthday person's colleagues are provided an opportunity to contribute to a collective gift card by clicking a designated button in their personal BirthdayBot reminders and/or in the Celebration Channel. The specific contribution amounts remain confidential; only the total sum is displayed.
Upon gathering the contributions, BirthdayBot processes the funds, sends a congratulatory message to the birthday person, including the names of all contributors, and reveals the total collected amount after applicable fees.
Team members have the option to contribute a personalized amount of money and convey their best wishes to the birthday person. All the contributions are collected and transferred to GoGift.com, a global gift card marketplace. The recipient receives a compilation of these messages, along with a link to their Global Gift Card on GoGift.com. Here, they can use the pooled funds to select a gift card of their choice or multiple ones.
Contributions and Payments
Contributions: Users may contribute funds towards a gift card. The contributions are voluntary and non-refundable. The payments are accepted in US dollars. The minimum amount is $5 which is automatically demonstrated on the Stripe payment page. Users can choose any amount exceeding the minimum amount set by default. For both Group gift cards and Anytime gift cards, BirthdayBot deducts a ten percent fee from the total amount of contributions rounded up to the nearest US dollar from the final collected amount. It is done to cover the fees of the Stripe payment system, the GoGift gift card marketplace, as well as its own service expenses.
Payment: Payments for contributions must be made using accepted payment methods listed by Stripe. BirthdayBot is not responsible for any issues related to payment processing and does not bear the responsibility for canceled payments, payment delays, or other issues caused by banks, payment providers, and similar services (see also Part 6 of this document: “Limitation of Liability”).
Gift Card Redemption
Recipients can redeem the Global gift card by selecting a gift card of their choice from the available options. The availability of gift cards may vary depending on the region of the gift card receiver and the final Global gift card amount.
If the Global gift card amount is in any other currency than USD, the GoGift.com exchange rate is applied.
If the Global gift card value is less than the value set by a brand, the gift card recipients can make an online payment to cover the difference and get the gift card they want.
BirthdayBot is not responsible for the variety of gift cards available on the provider’s website.
Expiration and Refunds
BirthdayBot does not bear responsibility and does not provide any refunds or reimbursements, including refunds for unused gift card marketplace balances or unused gift cards from specific brands. As a mediator, BirthdayBot provides the organizational services or the contribution process within the platform. After the contributions are collected, BirthdayBot immediately transfers the collected funds to the gift card marketplace and does not manage them anymore.
However, the BirthdayBot product team is doing its best to prevent gift cards from being unclaimed and unused by sending reminders to both gift card recepients and gift card givers. Also, the BirthdayBot team is committed to assisting users in answering their questions and solving their issues and strives to find suitable resolutions for each case. Users may contact BirthdayBot support via the contact form on our website.
Please note that while we will do our best to support you, the ultimate resolution of any issues arising from technical problems lies within the policies and capabilities of our integration partners.
