§ 2702. Expiration date
The paid value of a gift certificate sold or offered to be sold shall be valid for
not less than five years after its date of issuance or after the date funds were last
loaded onto the gift certificate, whichever is later. The date of issuance and the
expiration date shall be clearly identified on its face, or, if an electronic card
with a banked dollar value, clearly printed upon a sales receipt transferred to the
purchaser of the electronic card upon the completed transaction, or otherwise made
available to the purchaser or holder of the electronic card through means of an internet
site or a toll-free information telephone line. A gift certificate not clearly marked
with an expiration date or for which the expiration date is not otherwise made available
as provided in this section shall be deemed to have no expiration date. Following
the expiration date of the gift certificate, the unused portion of the paid value
of the gift certificate shall be returned to the holder of the gift certificate, if
requested. (Added 2005, No. 39, § 1; amended 2011, No. 136 (Adj. Sess.), § 7, eff. May 18, 2012.)
