Addendum to The SnapScan Terms and Conditions
Introduction
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the SnapScan Team and its partners have built a digital platform that empowers our SME merchants to receive funds during a period of lockdown announced by the South African Government, by providing them with a digital presence.
This digital platform, aimed at generating much needed cash flow for “for profit” SME businesses, will enable SnapScan users to:
- Make contributions (payments made by users without any right to goods or services in return) to SnapScan merchants; and
- Purchase vouchers (vouchers purchased by SnapScan users that are redeemable at the merchant by the user at a later stage) from SnapScan merchants.
Before you make a contribution to a merchant or purchase a voucher from a merchant, we ask that you first consider and accept the terms and conditions of the service below.

- The SnapItForward platform is a short-term solution meant to address the current COVID-19 crisis. As such, this service can be terminated on a 7-day notice by SnapScan.

- Transacting through the SnapItForward Merchant Service
- Contributions and voucher purchases through the SnapItForward platform will be charged to your selected payment method similar to normal SnapScan transactions.

- Vouchers are not transferable

- Once in store and ready to redeem a voucher, the user will scan the relevant merchant QR (from whom the user has purchased a voucher) and select the applicable voucher on the Wallet Dropdown menu inside the SnapScan App.
- If your Voucher value is insufficient for the goods or services you wish to procure, you may make up the difference by paying via any of the payment methods accepted by the merchant.
- Limitation of Liability
- SnapScan will not be held liable for any loss or failure by the related merchant to deliver goods or services in exchange for vouchers.
