The rules, kept short.
Twelve short sections on what ExpressoCards is, how credits and payments work, who owns what, and the few things we ask you not to do.
01 What ExpressoCards is.
ExpressoCards is a digital greeting-card app. You can pick a card, personalise it with a message, and share it by a link or send it to another person in the app. Some cards are free; our premium interactive cards are unlocked with credits. We are not a delivery service, a print shop, or a social network.
02 Your account.
You can browse and make a simple card without an account. To send, save your cards, buy credits, or keep your Memories, you sign in with email + password, Google, or Apple. You’re responsible for keeping your login secure; tell us at hello@expressocards.com if you suspect someone else has access.
You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live to hold an account or buy credits.
03 Credits & payments.
Premium and interactive cards cost credits. New signed-in users get a small batch of free credits; more can be bought in packs. Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor — we never see or store your full card number.
Credits and cards are digital goods delivered immediately, so purchases are generally non-refundable except where required by law. Credits have no cash value, can’t be transferred, and may expire if an account is closed. Prices and pack sizes can change; the price shown at checkout is the price you pay.
04 Your content.
You own the words and personal touches you add to a card. By using ExpressoCards you give us a limited licence to store, display, and deliver that content for the purpose of running the service — for example, showing your card to the person you sent it to and keeping it in your Memories. That licence ends when you delete the card or your account (subject to short-term backups noted in the Privacy policy).
The card artwork, animations, fonts, and designs are ours or our licensors’, and are for personal, non-commercial card-sending only — please don’t resell or redistribute them. When you add a recipient’s name or details, use them only to send that card.
05 Acceptable use.
Please don’t use ExpressoCards to:
- Harass, threaten, defame, or send hateful or discriminatory content to anyone.
- Send sexually explicit content, anything sexualising minors, or graphic violence.
- Spam, phish, scam, or impersonate another person or brand.
- Break security, scrape the service, or get around credit limits or payment.
We can disable a share link, remove content, or suspend an account that breaks these rules, at our discretion — without notice when the issue is serious.
06 Share links & delivery.
A card you send resolves through a link on expressocards.com. Anyone who has the link can open the card, so share it the way you’d share any private link. We do our best to keep links working, but we may disable ones that are abused or that violate these terms.
07 Service “as is.”
We work hard to keep ExpressoCards lovely and available, but the service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. We don’t guarantee uninterrupted uptime or that a card will always reach its recipient on time.
08 Liability.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ExpressoCards is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability to you is limited to the greater of CAD 100 or what you paid us in the past 12 months. Nothing here limits liability that can’t be excluded under Canadian consumer-protection law.
09 Ending things.
You can delete your cards and close your account at any time from your account settings or by emailing us. We may suspend or end access for a serious or repeated breach of these terms.
10 Changes.
We may update these terms now and then. We’ll change the date below and, for account holders, flag material changes by email before they take effect. Continuing to use ExpressoCards after that means you accept the update.
11 Governing law.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have jurisdiction, except where your local consumer-protection rules say otherwise.
