PREZENTBOX – USER AGREEMENT
Welcome To PrezentBox!
This User Agreement applies to all users (including Parents and Gift Givers) who use our platform.
PrezentBox is entirely free for Parents to use. It's important to note that while Parents can utilise our platform without any charges, Gift Givers will incur a Service Fee when providing Contributions. We want to ensure transparency in our operations and clarify that these commissions incurred by Gift Givers do not impose any additional costs on parents. The specifics regarding the Service Fees for Gift Givers can be found in the Gift Giver section at Schedule 1 Part C for more details. |
