Gift Card Policy
Terms and Conditions
This following are the Terms and Conditions of the physical gift cards and electronic gift cards (each, a “Gift Card”) distributed by Zoe’s Kitchen, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Zoës Kitchen”). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully and keep it for your records as binding contractual terms between you and Zoës Kitchen. By purchasing, accepting or using a Gift Card, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions as well as the other binding Terms of Use and Privacy Policy referenced on www.zoeskitchen.com (collectively, the “Agreement”).
Card Issuer
Each Gift Card in the Zoës Kitchen Gift Card program is issued by CARDCO CCCIX, Inc. or its affiliate ("CARDCO" or “Card Issuer”). Gift Cards are distributed and/or sold by Zoës Kitchen in accordance with an agreement reached between CARDCO and Zoës Kitchen. As the Card Issuer, CARDCO is the sole obligor with respect to any issuance of the Gift Cards and Zoës Kitchen shall have no liability with respect to any card issuance matters. To contact CARDCO directly, please email [email protected].
Gift Cards are redeemable by card owners for goods and services (but not for additional Gift Cards) at participating and authorized Zoës Kitchen locations. For information on Zoës Kitchen and its locations, visit www.zoeskitchen.com. Remember that the initial available balance on your Gift Card will be an amount set at the time of activation and/or purchase. Thereafter, the available balance will be reduced by each authorized use of the card or as otherwise provided in these terms and conditions, subject to any applicable state law. If you use your Gift Card, the remaining balance will not be paid in cash to you. You will be able to use the remaining balance on the Gift Card to purchase other goods and services. Any purchase amount greater than the available balance of your Gift Card must be paid with an alternative method of payment (for example, through use of a credit card). Gift Cards do not permit any type of cash transactions, have no value until purchased and activated, and are not transferable, returnable or refundable for cash, except in states where such refunds are required by law. Gift Cards have no expiration date or dormancy fees. Resale of Zoës Kitchen Gift Cards is strictly prohibited without Zoës Kitchen’s written consent. CARDCO and Zoës Kitchen expressly reserve the right to refuse to honor any Gift Card or offer a Gift Card for sale where it is reasonable to suspect fraud in connection therewith.

It is important that you track the amount remaining on your Gift Card. You can check your balance online at www.zoeskitchen.com/gift-cards/balance or by phone provided on the Contact Us page of our website. To view your Gift Card balance online follow the instructions on the screen. You will need your Gift Card number, and in some cases, the pin or access number to check the balance on your Gift Card. When checking Gift Card balances, recognize that current balances are an estimate only. In most cases, the balance is adjusted when you make a purchase online or at a restaurant, but there may be occasions when the updated balance is delayed for a period of time. Remember that your Gift Card is a reloadable card. As a result, after your Gift Card is purchased, you can add or load additional value to the Gift Card up to two hundred dollars ($200.00).
Lost, Stolen or Damaged Gift Cards
Gift Cards have value and should be safeguarded accordingly. Zoës Kitchen is not responsible for (1) lost, stolen, altered, defaced or damaged Gift Cards (and you bear the sole risk in such circumstances); (2) use of any Gift Cards by third parties; or (3) Gift Cards that are not deliverable due to a failure to enter accurate addresses for the recipient.
You may protect the balance on your Gift Card by registering it at www.zoeskitchen.com. Except in certain circumstances, if your card is lost or stolen, Zoës Kitchen will replace the remaining registered Gift Card balance only, determined at the time of our acknowledgement of your notification. Visit our website or email , [email protected] to report the loss of a registered Gift Card.
If your Gift Card is not registered, replacement will only be made if you provide adequate proof of purchase, the Gift Card number, and your full identification including relevant information regarding the purchase of the Gift Card.
Subject to acceptable proof of ownership (or registration), Zoës Kitchen will make reasonable efforts to disable a lost or stolen Gift Card from further use. If you are unable to provide us with the Gift Card number or other relevant information, then we will be unable to lock the Gift Card.
You may request a replacement Gift Card for a lost, stolen or damaged Gift Card. A replacement Gift Card will not be issued unless you present adequate proof of purchase, the Gift Card number, the damaged Gift Card (in the case of a damaged Gift Card) and your verifiable identification. Requests to replace a Gift Card may be denied in the event we suspect fraudulent or unlawful activity or improper use.
If the replacement is approved, a new Gift Card will be issued and activated in the amount remaining on the Gift Card, if any, at the time of our acknowledgement of your notification. Replacements may take up to 15 days to process. You may be charged a replacement Gift Card fee of up to $5.00 and you will be charged for shipping charges.
Unclaimed Property
If you have not used your Gift Card within a time period set by state law, the unused Gift Card balance may be come subject to escheat under various state unclaimed property statutes. These time periods set by state law usually are two, three or five-year periods. If the remaining Gift Card balance becomes unclaimed property subject to a state unclaimed property law, CARDCO (and not Zoës Kitchen) may be required to escheat the Gift Card balance to a state in an amount and at the time required by state law. At that time, you may lose the ability to use your Gift Card. If this occurs with respect to your Gift Card, you may inquire about the status of your Gift Card by contacting CARDCO. For information about escheat and unclaimed property, visit www.naupa.org.
Accurate Information
Please check to make sure the email address or delivery address of the recipient is correct and contact Guest Experience if you suspect the recipient did not receive their Gift Card. Should a Gift Card be returned to us due to inaccurate delivery information for the recipient, we will attempt to contact you for a valid address. If we are unable to contact you within five (5) days, your order will be canceled.
Delivery Information
Gift Cards may not be shipped internationally. When ordering online, you will need to log on from an IP address in the United States and use a credit card issued in the United States. You must comply with the shipping requirements imposed by our carriers (i.e., no P.O Boxes, signature required for delivery, etc.). Not all shipping options may be available for all addresses. Actual delivery time will vary based on when the order was shipped and the shipping method used.
Requirements for Gift Card Purchasers
Your billing address must match the address your credit card statement is mailed to. Limits may be placed on the number of cards ordered in a 24‐hour period. Orders of Gift Cards are subject to a process that compares purchaser information with information about the purchaser provided by the purchaser's financial institution. A purchase may be declined for one of the following reasons: (1) Your billing address does not match the address listed as the billing address for your credit card; or (2) You have exceeded a dollar purchase limit or defined number of cards within a seven (7) day period, or (3) other credit card related reasons for transaction declines such as a invalid or cancelled credit card.
Reasons for Failed Delivery of Electronic Gift Cards
If you have confirmed the recipient's address but the Gift Card has not been received within a reasonable period of time after the requested delivery date, the following is a list of the most common reasons why delivery may have failed: (1) Firewall or Spam filter blocked email or routed it to a bulk/spam folder; (2) Email inbox is over size limit or (3) Invalid email address. If a filter is blocking [email protected] emails from getting to an inbox, the email options of such filter will need to be modified so that emails from [email protected] are not considered spam.

Zoës Kitchen Gift Cards may be paid for with a valid VISA, MasterCard or American Express. Approved business customers may pay by check, but no order will be shipped until funds clear.
