LoyLap accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any Transaction where monies are prepaid by Members to Merchants. You agree and understand that all monies prepaid through any Transaction may be non-refundable.

      • failure by the Merchant to satisfy full amounts advanced by the Member;
      • the Merchant entering liquidation, examinership, administration, receivership or any other insolvency proceedings; or
      • any other issue which does not relate directly to the functionality of LoyLap’s technology infrastructure.

 

    • We have implemented technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

 

  1. Loss or Non-Permitted Use.
    • It is your responsibility to ensure that your mobile device and LoyLap Card are kept safe and in a secure place at all times. We strongly recommend that your mobile device is secured by way of a pin-code, password or your mobile device’s equivalent. In the event that your mobile device and/or LoyLap Card is lost, stolen or otherwise used without your permission, LoyLap accepts no responsibility and excludes all liability for any loss suffered by you as a result of such non-permitted use.

  1. Dormant LoyLap Accounts.
    • If there is no activity on your LoyLap Merchant Account (including access or any Transactions) for at least two (2) years consecutively, we reserve the right to terminate your LoyLap Merchant Account. Termination will result in the deletion of personally identifiable customer information and is not retrievable. 

 

    • The privacy of our Members and Merchants is of paramount importance to LoyLap. Upon acceptance of these Terms, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted LoyLap’s Privacy Statement.[1] We do not share any business specific information with any parties whatsoever, nor do we share the e-mail addresses or full names of our Members with any third parties.

 

  1. LoyLap Transactions.
    • LoyLap Transactions include a wide variety of services. In particular, certain Transactions may provide Members and Merchants with the ability to enter into an agreement amongst themselves whereby Members prepay for goods and/or services. The Services include, without limitation; Gift, Loyalty, LoyLap Upfront, Self Check-Out and Order Ahead. Where Merchants avail of any Transaction where a Member prepays a sum to the Merchant, the Merchant must hold any prepaid sum on trust for the Members and agree not to mix such monies with the operational cash of the business. The Merchant must realise each purchase individually and realise all relevant taxes on an individual basis. LoyLap accepts no responsibility whatsoever for monies prepaid by Members to Merchants.
    • For the avoidance of doubt, any Transaction where the Member prepays a sum to a Merchant represents an agreement between the Merchant and Member. Accordingly, LoyLap accepts no responsibility, in any disputes arising out of such Transactions, including but not limited to:
      • failure by the Merchant to satisfy full amounts advanced by the Member;
      • the Merchant entering liquidation, examinership, administration, receivership or any other insolvency proceedings; or
      • any other issue which does not relate directly to the functionality of LoyLap’s technology infrastructure.

 

  1. General Liability.
    • Merchants warrant and represent that:
      • the Merchant alone is the seller of the products and/or services it supplies;
      • the Merchant’s use of the Services will not create any liability on the part of LoyLap in respect of the supply of goods or services by the Merchant and the Merchant will remain directly liable in relation to such supply;
      • the Merchant is solely responsible for providing support and related services to a Member for all issues related to that supply of goods or services, including (but not limited to) all issues arising from any Transaction, Loyalty Programs or Rewards;
      • the Merchant is solely responsible for processing any Transaction and redeeming Members’ Rewards and for providing the products and/or services.
    • LoyLap shall not be liable for, and you will indemnify and keep indemnified LoyLap, our affiliates and licensors, and each of our and their respective employees, officers, directors and representatives, and hold harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including all legal fees), arising out of or in connection with any claim arising out of your use of the Services, including, without limitation: (i) claims, losses, damages, liabilities arising out of or in connection with any Loyalty Programs, Rewards, Transactions or the prepayment of any sums; (ii) any personal injury or property damage (tangible or intangible) related to the foregoing; (iii) any sales, goods and services, use, excise, import, export, property, value added or other taxes or duties assessed or imposed on us or our affiliates in connection with or as a result of your use of the Services; or (iv) any legal or regulatory violation arising under the laws or regulations of any country (including without limitation privacy regulations) related to your use of the Services.

We exclude all liability for any such errors and/or omissions and we will be entitled to cancel or amend any such service, promotion or offer subject to such an error and/or omission.

Termination by the Merchant may take up to eight (8) weeks to process, as LoyLap may contact Members of the imminent cessation of the Merchant’s participation in the Services.
