By clicking on the GAYL® Application Window, you as a user (referred to as 'you' below) are accepting our terms and conditions.

4.0 Legal notices.

GAYL® downloaded or used on the Website or as an App is not sold; rather, licensed all the way through the distribution channel to the end user. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANOTHER AGREEMENT DIRECTLY WITH GIVE AS YOU LIVE LIMITED THAT CONTROLS AND ALTERS YOUR USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE GAYL® PRODUCT, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT BELOW APPLIES TO YOU. Please be careful to read the agreement for GAYL®.

5.0 Scope of license.

You may use the Give as you Live Instore facility, the GAYL® download or Website software or GAYL® App only as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways. You may not:

• Work around any technical limitations in the software.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation.
• Make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation.
• Rent or lease the software.
• Transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.
• Use the software to incorporate malicious software, spyware, adware or other potentially unwanted software into the software.
• Use the software for commercial software hosting services.

6.0 Consumer rights.

All transactions you make are not with us, but with the individual retailer. Any defect or fault with the goods purchased are the sole responsibility of the merchant from whom you purchased the product. Give as you Live Limited cannot accept any liability for goods purchased by you from affinity sites.

7.0 Amounts raised for cause.

After you have registered you can raise money for your favourite cause every time you purchase shopping/Gift cards via Give as you Live Instore.

The donations you earn from Give as you Live Instore are distributed to your selected cause when the monies are received by Give as you Live Limited from the retailer. From time to time retailers may increase or decrease the commission paid and may leave the scheme whilst new retailers may also join.

Donations are raised at the point that the purchase is complete and the cash is loaded to the shopping payment card or e-code. This will be added to your Give as you Live user account panel with a 'pending' status. When Give as you Live receives the commission, from the retailer, the transaction moves to "Paid" in the account panel. Once the transaction is "Paid", Give as you Live will include the commission into the public totals on the GAYL® site and disburse the money to your chosen cause through our Payment Provider in the next scheduled payment run covering the effective date of the transaction.

Cause donations are aggregated, until the total donation to each supported cause totals more than £4.75. By aggregating donations, administration is minimised for both parties. Once the threshold is reached, we will pass on the entire total of the donation(s) directly to the cause at no charge via our Payment Provider.

About the causes and organisations you can support through GAYL®.

The GAYL® download, Give as you Live Instore and other products from our Website allow users to raise funds for any of the causes and organisations listed.

8.0 Use of funds.

Each cause beneficiary reserves the right to utilise the income raised through Give as you Live Instore to best effect for the cause.
