These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to any purchaser or user (“you”, “your”) of an Apple gift card or code (including the Apple Gift Card), Apple Account Associated Balance, or content code. Your purchase or use constitutes acceptance of these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time at our discretion. We will provide you with notice of the updated Terms by posting the updated Terms on this page, and the Terms will be effective upon posting. Please check back regularly to review the current Terms.
Apple gift cards are issued and managed by Apple Value Services, LLC (“Issuer”, “we”, “us”), a Virginia limited liability company. Issuer is an affiliate of Apple Inc. (“Apple”), which facilitates the generation of content codes.
You can link physical or digital Apple gift cards or codes with your Apple Account (“Account”) or add funds through the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple TV App, Apple Books, or Apple Music to the balance associated with your Account to establish an “Associated Balance.” The amount available in your Associated Balance includes all gift cards and codes linked to your Account and the total balance of all funds added to your Associated Balance.
When you link your physical or digital Apple gift cards with your Associated Balance, add funds to your Associated Balance, or click the “plus” icon in your Apple Wallet app, we may provision a virtual Apple Account Associated Balance card to your Wallet app (“Virtual Card”). Your Virtual Card is a digital depiction of your Associated Balance that can be used at Apple Retail Stores. In order to create and use a Virtual Card, you must have an iPhone or Apple Watch that (a) is capable of utilizing Apple Pay and associated with your Apple Account (“Eligible Devices”), (b) has a version of operating software that supports the Virtual Card, and (c) is Apple Pay enabled. Your use of the Virtual Card is subject to the terms and conditions that Apple may establish from time to time regarding the use of Apple Pay and other limitations of the Apple Pay platform. If you choose to add funds to your Associated Balance in your Apple Wallet app, your Apple Pay payment method may be used.
Physical and digital Apple gift cards and codes (including the Apple Gift Card), Associated Balances, and the Virtual Card are, collectively, “Gift Cards”.
You can use your Gift Cards to purchase content, apps, and services (collectively, “Content”) from Apple Media Services and items (“Products”) from Apple Retail Stores, Apple online stores, and the Apple Store App. If you are the holder of an App Store and iTunes gift card or code balance, or have a balance in your Associated Balance, you can use the card and code balance and the Associated Balance to purchase Products as well as Content.
You can use Gift Cards in Apple Retail Stores, on the Apple online store, the Apple Store app, or by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, and to purchase Content. Some items may not be available for purchase. Once you link a physical or digital gift card or code to your Account, the balance becomes associated with your Associated Balance, and you will no longer be able to use the physical or digital card or code, including in Apple Retail Stores.
Gift Cards purchased in the United States and content codes can only be linked to an Account in the United States and can only be used for purchases in the United States. The United States includes its territories and possessions. However, Products purchased online from Apple only ship within the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. No shipments can be made to P.O. Box addresses, United States territories, or addresses outside of the United States.
Some Gift Cards may indicate they can only be used to purchase Products. If you purchased or use a Gift Card that indicates it is only for Products, you cannot use that Gift Card to purchase Content.
Gift Cards are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund (except as required by law); exchanged; resold; or used to purchase Gift Cards. Unused Associated Balances are not transferable. Issuer maintains information about the status of gift cards or codes. Contact Apple for information about the status of your Account and any Associated Balance. To check the available balance on a gift card, call 1-800-MY-APPLE or visit www.vvs.com/go/gcb/us.
You agree to not use Gift Cards or content codes in any manner that is unlawful, misleading, deceptive, unfair, or otherwise harmful to Issuer, Apple, or its customers. We and Apple reserve the right, without notice to you, to void or deactivate Gift Cards or content codes without a refund, suspend or terminate Accounts, request alternative forms of payment, suspend or terminate the ability to purchase Products or to purchase or use Content, cancel or limit orders, and bill alternative forms of payment if we suspect Gift Cards or content codes were obtained, used, or associated with an Account unlawfully, fraudulently, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.
You must spend any Associated Balance in order to close your Account.
