Gift Voucher Template (Gibraltar)
Updated on 13 August 2026
Gibraltar has no statute setting a minimum gift voucher expiry the way the US CARD Act does. The Consumer Protection Act 2011 instead protects against unfair contract terms, and the Office of Fair Trading specifically advises consumers to check a voucher's expiry date before relying on the general fairness rules to strike out a term that is hidden or unreasonably short.
This template builds a voucher around that fairness standard: a clear, prominent expiry position — or none at all — a voucher number for traceability, and honest issuer details.

Set a fair, prominent expiry term
An expiry hidden in small print, or unreasonably short for the price paid, risks being an unfair term under the Consumer Protection Act 2011. This template makes the expiry a stated, prominent term, with a no-expiry option available.
Give the voucher a number and issue date
A voucher number lets the issuer trace a sale, mark a voucher redeemed, and void one reported lost — the same identifiers that matter in any market.
What each part of the voucher does
- Voucher number
- Traces the sale and lets a lost voucher be voided and replaced.
- Expiry
- A clear, prominent term, or a no-expiry option.
- Issuer details
- The legal entity that owes the goods.
Gibraltar compliance checklist
There is no minimum-expiry statute, but fairness rules apply.

Frequently asked questions
Do gift vouchers have to expire in Gibraltar?
No — there is no minimum-expiry statute, and a voucher that never expires is the simplest, safest option.
Can an expiry date be challenged?
Yes — a term hidden in small print or unreasonably short can be treated as unfair under the Consumer Protection Act 2011.
What happens if the business closes?
An unredeemed voucher is an unsecured claim against the issuing business — identify the legal entity clearly.
Should I give change in cash for a part-used voucher?
There is no general legal requirement — decide and state your own policy.
Can I use this for a promotional giveaway voucher?
Yes — mark it as promotional, since a voucher given away free is generally treated differently from one a customer paid for.
