Gund Forever Friends Promise™ Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

Welcome to the Gund Forever Friends Promise™ program by Spin Master Ltd. (“Spin Master”) for its Gund brand ("Company," “Gund,” "we," "us," or "our"). This program is designed to help Gund owners reunite with their eligible registered lost Plush Friends (“Plush Friend”) through a unique QR code sewn into the Plush Friend’s label. Plush Friends eligible for the program are Muttsy, Kai, Toothpick, Philbin and Snuffles. By registering for and using the Gund Forever Friends Promise™ program (the "Service"), you agree to the following Terms of Service ("Terms"). This includes terms that govern text message communications sent in connection with the Service, indemnities to the Spin Master Parties (defined below) from you, and a limitation of your rights and remedies. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.  

Program Overview

The Gund Forever Friends Promise™ program allows users ("you," "your," or "User") to register a unique QR code associated with a Plush Friend and provide personal contact information to facilitate the return or replacement of the Plush Friend, if lost. If the Plush Friend is lost and subsequently scanned by a third party (“a Finder”), Gund will contact the Finder and attempt to retrieve and reunite Users with their Plush Friend. Finders will not receive User contact information, as Gund will facilitate the retrieval and return of the Plush Friend. The Service is only available to Users and Finders in Canada.

  • Be a resident of, and have a valid mailing address in, any province or territory in Canada (PO Boxes are not eligible);

  • Provide a valid email address and mobile phone number for authentication and contact purposes.

To participate in the Service as a Finder, you must:

  • Have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you are located; and
  • Provide a valid email address and mobile phone number for contact purposes.
