There are millions of expiry dates in our lives: gift cards, rego, insurnace, groceries, phone credits, etc. But I am confused when it actually expires. Does consumer laws have any definition?
My understanding is both expiry date and due date are inclusive. You can use the credit until the last second of the exipry date and it is fine to as long the the recipient receives the funds before last second on the due date.
However recent experience with Skype credit says differently. On the card it say credit expires in 12 months from purchase date and the expiry field has only year and month. I was told that the credit was expired on the 370th day since purchase although it was in the same month. Anyway Skype creidted my account on once off good will.
And what do you think?
if it says expires 12 months from date of purchase then it is seems unambiguous to me.
