No Third-Party Beneficiary

The Terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

Card Terms

The purchase, activation or use of any cards marketed by Moon represents your acceptance of Moon’s generalized terms, as well as the underlying terms of each card which may supersede these general terms, listed below:

  • Unless otherwise indicated, card products will be charged a fee upon expiry equivalent to the remaining balance on the cards
  • In the event of the termination of a card program by its sponsor, whether a merchant or financial institution, the card products will be charged a fee upon termination equivalent to the remaining balance on the cards

Moon Credit

Moon provides Accounts in good standing with the ability to purchase, accrue and utilize Moon store credit (“Moon Credit”) held for future use. Moon Credit may be used only to purchase Services and other goods sold by Moon, and is not redeemable for cash, or goods and services from other Merchants or Vendors, unless otherwise required by law. Moon Credit is not a checking account, demand deposit account, or savings account. Once associated with a Moon Account, Moon Credit is not transferable to other Accounts, Users, or beyond Moon. Moon Credit is not insured by any government or third party. Certain thresholds may apply to your Moon Credit balance as well as top-ups. These thresholds may not be exceeded without express written approval from Moon. Any of these limits can be reduced at any time by Moon, and the program may be terminated as a whole or for any Account at any time by Moon, at its sole discretion.

You forfeit your right to access Moon Credit when your Account breaches these Terms, or when it is determined by Moon based on industry standard methods to have engaged in fraudulent or abusive activity.

Fees

The Company may charge certain fees associated with its Services and with underlying services or products purchased through its Services.  Where applicable, these fees will be detailed in the specific terms and conditions of the product or service with which they are associated.  

Purchases made on Moon through Moon’s check-out or through a third-party payment service available at check-out may be subject to handling fees and confirmation time.  Moon may charge a purchase handling fee for the purchase of Moon Credit, or the use of Moon Credit for purchases of Services or products.

While many purchases on Moon are non-refundable, for those purchases which are refundable, Moon may charge a fee on outbound refunds to the original form of payment in order to cover the costs of remitting such refund payments.

Moon reserves the right to charge additional fees to mitigate against abusive behavior, including to mitigate and deter violations of these Terms and the terms of service of other companies, websites, or apps, at Moon’s discretion.

Returns and Refunds

The Fees you pay are non-refundable. You are responsible for paying all applicable Fees whether or not you actually used or otherwise benefited from the Service.

Not all products and services offered by Moon are eligible for refund. Although we strive to present updated terms and conditions for all products, we do not make any representation in that regard. You should confirm the applicable terms and conditions of the product you are purchasing from us directly on the website of the issuer of each product. Furthermore, some products sold are geographically limited to certain countries. In these cases, if you are attempting to purchase from a country that is not allowed by a product’s terms and conditions, such a purchase will not be possible. If you circumvent our geoblocking systems to acquire a product that is not available in your country, you are violating these Terms and we may suspend or terminate your Account. We are also not liable for any redemption issues you may find, and we will not provide a refund in those cases.

Any value contained in Moon Credit or a Moon card will not in any case be redeemable in cash or refunded in fiat currency. All purchases made using fiat currency, whether utilizing credit or debit cards, ACH or direct bank transfer, or otherwise, are final and non-refundable and do not qualify as such for refunds.

Refunds of qualifying products or services purchased from Moon using virtual or digital currency will in general practice be credited to Moon Credit, net of any transaction and handling fees. Any such qualifying and requested refunds not credited to Moon Credit will be approved on a case by case basis and, if approved, made to the original form of payment, net of any transaction and handling fees. Such requested refunds to the original form of payment, if approved, will be valid for 30 days from the date of approval by Moon. If within those 30 days the User has not accurately confirmed key details for their original form of payment, the refund will be terminated and may not be re-attempted.

Account Suspension or Termination

You may request to close your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. We may close your account at any time for any reason or no reason without prior notice. The Company may also deny you access to all the Services, or any part of the Services, if, judged in the Company’s sole discretion, you fail to comply with any terms or provisions of these Terms. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to review, postpone, or cancel the acceptance or dispersal of funds to any suspended or terminated user or account at our discretion. If the Company and/or its partners or suppliers become aware of possible violations to these Terms or to any law, they may, in their sole discretion, initiate an investigation, suspend or terminate the Account, remove materials from their servers, issue a warning, or take other responsive action. If we determine that you have violated these Terms, or pose an unacceptable risk to us, or have provided any false, incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information, or otherwise have engaged in fraudulent or illegal or harmful conduct, we may take further action.
