Product description

Prices, descriptions or availability of Products are outlined in the respective sections of these Terms and are subject to change without notice. 

While Products and the Leap Services  are presented with the greatest accuracy technically possible, representation on the website or mobile app through any means (including, as the case may be, graphic material, images, colors, sounds) is for reference only and implies no warranty as to the characteristics of the purchased Product.

The characteristics of the chosen Product will be outlined during the purchasing process.

 

Purchasing process

Any steps taken from choosing a Product to order submission form part of the purchasing process.

The purchasing process includes these steps:

–               After having reviewed the information displayed in the purchase selection, Users may place the order by submitting it.

 

Order submission

When the User submits an order, the following applies:

–               The submission of an order determines contract conclusion and therefore creates for the User the obligation to pay the price, taxes and possible further fees and expenses, as specified on the order page.

–               In case the purchased Product requires active input from the User, such as the provision of personal information or data, specifications or special wishes, the order submission creates an obligation for the User to cooperate accordingly.

–               Upon submission of the order, Users will receive a receipt confirming that the order has been received.

All notifications related to the described purchasing process shall be sent to the email address provided by the User for such purposes.

 

Fee

We will charge you a monthly fee for each child’s use of the Leap online service (which includes your child’s account and their Digital Leap Pre-paid Visa Card). The monthly membership fee will be added on when we give you the total amount you need to pay, and will be deducted automatically every month from the outstanding balance on your Leap parent account. To be very clear, please note that Leap is a SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE and the Leap membership fees are recurring/continuous transactions. 

Your monthly membership fees will be debited on the monthly anniversary of the date you activated your Leap parent account. Please note that should you enter into a free trial subscription period, you will be billed the Leap membership fee in accordance with this section at the expiry of the free trial period.

Users are informed during the purchasing process and before order submission, about any fees, taxes and costs (including, if any, delivery costs) that they will be charged.

Prices on Leap are displayed:

–              either exclusive or inclusive of any applicable fees, taxes and costs, depending on the section the User is browsing.

 

Offers and discounts

The Owner may offer discounts or provide special offers for the purchase of Products. Any such offer or discount shall always be subject to the eligibility criteria and the terms and conditions set out in the corresponding section of Leap’s website or mobile app.

Offers and discounts are always granted at the Owner’s sole discretion.

Repeated or recurring offers or discounts create no claim/title or right that Users may enforce in the future. 

Depending on the case, discounts or offers shall be valid for a limited time only or while stocks last. If an offer or discount is limited by time, the time indications refer to the time zone of the Owner, as indicated in the Owner’s location details in this document, unless otherwise specified.

 

Returns and Refunds

Subscriptions for the time period subscribed for are non-refundable; however, you may cancel your subscription at any time by contacting us. You will continue to have access to Leap Services till the end of the current subscription period.

If your child’s Digital Leap Prepaid Visa Card has an outstanding balance, we’ll arrange to cancel the card and refund any balance to your bank account. Your money will be refunded using the bank details held for you and will be transferred via a bank transfer. Should Leap not have any of your bank details, Leap will contact you to obtain your bank details to do the transfer. You should allow 10 working days for the refund to show in your personal bank account. Refunds on any outstanding balance held on the Leap wallets are only processed during the time of account closure. At no other point in time other than the time of account closure are refunds processed.

Termination

Recurring subscriptions may be terminated at any time by sending a clear and unambiguous termination notice to Leap using the contact details provided in this document, or — if applicable — by using the corresponding controls inside Leap.

Termination notice

If the notice of termination is received by the Owner before the subscription renews, the termination shall take effect as soon as the current period is completed.

If you wish to initiate a refund request, please email us at [email protected]

 

Methods of payment

Your payments to us go into your Leap parent account and then onwards to your child’s account or to pay the monthly membership fees. Leap accepts most major debit cards, or you can pay by a direct bank from your bank account. Leap does not hold onto your bank details. If you choose to give these details to us in order to pay, they will be passed on to our banking partners and held securely as with any other banking transaction. All payments are independently processed through third-party services. Therefore, Leap does not collect any payment information – such as credit card details – but only receives a notification once the payment has been successfully completed.

Information related to accepted payment methods are made available during the purchasing process.

Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases related information can be found in the dedicated section of Leap.

If a payment through the available methods fails or is refused by the payment service provider, the Owner shall be under no obligation to fulfil the purchase order. Any possible costs or fees resulting from the failed or refused payment shall be borne by the User.

 

Purchase via app store

Leap or specific Products available for sale on Leap must be purchased via a third-party app store. To access such purchases, Users must follow the instructions provided on the relevant online store (such as “Apple App Store” or “Google Play”), which may vary depending on the particular device in use.

Unless otherwise specified, purchases done via third-party online stores are also subject to such third-parties’ terms and conditions, which, in case of any inconsistency or conflict, shall always prevail upon these Terms. 

Users purchasing through such third-party online stores must therefore read such terms and conditions of sale carefully and accept them.

The trial period shall automatically convert into the equivalent paid Product, unless the User cancels the purchase before the trial period expires.

 

Subscriptions

Subscriptions allow Users to receive a Product continuously or regularly over a determined period of time.
