TAP&REUSE™

General Terms & Conditions

User EU & Nordics (UK below)

 

Acceptance of Terms 

 

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully.  

 

These Terms & Conditions apply to Your use of TAP&REUSE™ and the Returnable Packaging and are made between You and Kleen Hub ApS By tapping Your payment method on the TAP&REUSE™ Payment Card Terminal, You agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

 

Introduction

 

You are about to borrow some Returnable Packaging for the food or drink item You purchase. The Returnable Packaging is designed to be used by You and then returned to a Collection Point so it can be washed and used again. The Returnable Packaging is not to be used for any other purpose.

 

Returnable Packaging is an alternative to single-use which this Retailer is working hard to reduce. You get to borrow Returnable Packaging, use it and then give it back - all at no cost to you.

 

The Returnable Packaging is food safe and will withstand commercial use, and washing. 

 

The Returnable Packaging provided with TAP&REUSE™ is free for the User; charges only apply if the Returnable Packaging is not returned to a Collection Point before the end of the Return Period.

 

You do not need to download an app and You do not need to register anywhere. TAP&REUSE™ really is designed to be that simple.

 

How it works

(also see Definitions below)

 

  1. Order and pay for Your food or drink at the till as normal. The barista/server will also scan the Returnable Packaging for You.

 

  1. You will receive Your food/drink in an item of Returnable Packaging. You borrow the Returnable Packaging by tapping your payment method on the TAP&REUSE™ Payment Card Terminal. That Returnable Packaging is now linked to Your payment method, and You will receive your food or drink in it. A Pending Transaction of 1p is authorised by tapping Your payment method and will be live on Your bank account whilst You borrow the Returnable Packaging.

 

  1. Enjoy Your meal or drink. When You are finished, return the Returnable Packaging to the nearest Collection Point for that Retailer. This will usually be in the shop/café/venue/event from where You borrowed the Returnable Packaging, but for multi-venue Retailers, there may be other Collection Points available.

 

  1. Return the Returnable Packaging to the Collection Point within the Return Period. Once returned, the Pending Transaction is cancelled, and You have borrowed and returned Your Returnable Packaging at no cost to you. (it will usually take around 48 hours for the Pending Transaction to clear from Your bank account/statement, however, depending on the particular bank, this may take a little longer).

 

  1. If You do not return the Returnable Packaging to the Collection Point within the Return Period, You have Failed to Return and a vatable sale has occurred. The Failed to Return Payment will be applied to Your original payment method and that Returnable Packaging is now Yours; You are no longer able to return it.
