24.1. TruVendors may grant you credit toward eligible purchases as set out in these Terms ("Eligible Purchases") in the form of TruVendors gift cards ("Gift Cards") or TruVendors credit ("TruVendors Credit").

TruVendors Credit is credit toward Eligible Purchases in a particular dollar amount that is associated with a unique TruVendors Account. The value of TruVendors Credit including credit from Gift Cards applied to your TruVendors Account is referred to as your "TruVendors Credit Balance". When you apply a Gift Card to your TruVendors Customer Account, your TruVendors Credit Balance will be credited by the dollar value of the Gift Card, and the value associated with the Claim Code will be reduced to zero. From time to time, TruVendors may also issue TruVendors Credit to you for other purposes (for example, to refund a purchase that you have made). Your TruVendors Credit Balance includes the total remaining balance of all TruVendors Credit that has been applied to your TruVendors Account by way of Gift Card or otherwise, but not yet applied to a purchase. To check your TruVendors Credit Balance, log in to your TruVendors Account. To check the balance of a Gift Card before it has been applied to a TruVendors Account, simply review the email or other document in which you received the Gift Card, where the face value will be printed.

As long as you are only purchasing Eligible Purchases, you may use TruVendors Credit to pay for all fees and costs on your Order, including but not limited to the cost of Goods, delivery charges, tips, and taxes. Any unused TruVendors Credit Balance will remain associated with your TruVendors Customer Account. If the cost of an Order exceeds your TruVendors Credit Balance, the remaining amount must be paid with another payment method.
