4. GifT Voucher Terms and COnditions
Validity:
Gift vouchers are valid for 3 years from the date of purchase, in accordance with Australian Consumer Law. The expiry date will be displayed on the gift voucher.
Using your gift voucher:
Esse gift vouchers are issued as a monetary credit and can be redeemed towards any Esse service available at the time of booking, subject to availability.
The services offered at Esse Aesthetics may change over time. Your gift voucher is therefore not restricted to the services available at the time of purchase and may be used towards any eligible Esse service available when you choose to redeem it.
​
Redeeming your voucher:
Gift vouchers must be quoted or presented when making your booking and/or payment.
If the value of your chosen service exceeds the voucher balance, the difference can be paid using another accepted payment method.
If the value of your chosen service is less than the voucher balance, the remaining balance can be retained and used towards a future eligible Esse service, provided the voucher has not expired.
​
Expiry:
Gift vouchers cannot be redeemed after the expiry date, unless otherwise required by law.
​
Other conditions:
Gift vouchers are not redeemable for cash and cannot be exchanged for cash or refunded, except where required by Australian Consumer Law.
Gift vouchers cannot be used to purchase another gift voucher.
Esse gift vouchers are subject to these terms and conditions and the availability of services at the time of redemption.
These terms do not exclude or limit any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
