It is your responsibility to check any terms, conditions or limitations which may apply with the brand owner of the Gift Vouchers.

Kasu is not responsible for any damages, either personal or otherwise, that may arise when using one of our Gift Vouchers. Once purchased, you then are a customer of the brand owner of that Gift Voucher code, and any liability then falls under their current terms.
