Target Circle 360 is a subscription program that offers the benefits described in the Target Circle 360 Terms. By joining Target Circle 360 you agree to the Target Circle 360 Terms (available at www.target.com/terms) and the Privacy Policy (www.target.com/privacy) then in effect. Target may update the Target Circle 360 Terms or make any changes to the Target App or to the Site at any time without notice. You agree to any updates to the Target Circle 360 Terms by continuing to participate in the program. The Target Circle 360 membership gives access to the Shipt Marketplace: Access delivery from other local retailers through the Shipt Marketplace at www.shipt.com and the Shipt app. The terms of this benefit are subject to Shipt’s terms and privacy notice. To utilize this benefit, you must use the same email address on the Shipt Marketplace that you used to sign up for your Target Circle 360 membership.
Payment Terms
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and SNAP/EBT. In using our services, you may be charged local sales tax. By registering to become a member and providing your payment information, you agree that we may save your payment information for your convenience.
If your payment method is declined, we will attempt to process your charge until the transaction is approved. We, and our third party payment service providers, may request and receive updated credit card information from your credit card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration date information when your credit card has expired. If such updated information is provided to us and our third-party payment service providers, we will update your account information accordingly, and will use such updated information to process payments for your future purchases and subscriptions. Your credit card issuer may give you the right to opt out of providing vendors and third-party payment service providers with your updated credit card information. If you wish to opt out of your credit card’s updating service, you should contact your credit card issuer directly.
We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or credit card issuer may apply. If your bank or credit card issuer reverses a charge to your credit card, we may bill your account directly and seek payment through another method, including a mailed statement.
The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you through our services passes to you upon our delivery of the items to you. Replacement of products or credits to your account for shipped merchandise claimed by you as not received are subject to our investigation. After our investigation, we may credit your account in our sole discretion.
If you choose to associate a debit card as your payment method, please be aware that by doing so, you are pre authorizing Shipt to proceed with charging said debit card for recurring fees (such as subscription fees upon auto-renewal). By proceeding with associating a debit card as your payment method, you acknowledge that these Terms constitute a written authorization for preauthorized transfers from the bank account tied to your debit card pursuant to 12 CFR § 1005.10(b). The act of creating an account with Shipt and associating a debit card as your payment method represents the authentication of the foregoing written authorization pursuant to the U.S. ESIGN Act (see Shipt ESign Consent for more details).
SNAP/EBT
Shipt permits customers in the United States to purchase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) eligible items from select retailers using a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer (“EBT”) card. For any transactions involving use of your SNAP EBT funds, a credit or debit card must also be linked to your Shipt account to pay for any fees, taxes, delivery tips, and other items you purchase that are not SNAP-eligible. SNAP-eligible items will have an “EBT” tag on their item details pages. By providing Shipt with your SNAP EBT card information, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are legally authorized to use the SNAP EBT card provided; (ii) your SNAP EBT card is current and valid; and (iii) you authorize Shipt to use your SNAP EBT card information for transactions involving use of your SNAP EBT benefits. If the card information cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, the services through the Site may be suspended or canceled. Shipt cannot accept EBT cash at this time.
Typographical Errors
In the event a product is listed on our Site at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error in pricing or product information provided by our retailers, we have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for such products in our sole discretion, whether or not your order has been confirmed and your bank or credit card charged. If your bank or credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we will issue a credit to your bank or credit card account in the amount of the cancelled charge.
Conduct
You agree to use the Site in accordance with all applicable federal, state, municipal and otherwise applicable laws and regulations, and shall refrain from engaging in behavior that is abusive, threatening, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate when interacting with Shipt or with shoppers and drivers retained by Shipt to act as couriers for purchasing and delivering orders made through the Site (“Shoppers” and "Drivers"). Example include, without limitation, sending sexually explicit messages through the Site, using obscene or abusive language, assaulting or in any way touching a Shopper without consent, romantically propositioning Shoppers or Drivers who are providing services through the Site, or disclosing personal information of Shoppers or Drivers without consent.
Please be aware your failure to conduct yourself in accordance with the foregoing may lead to account termination, at Shipt’s sole discretion. To the extent that any behavior that violates this section is or may be the subject of criminal investigation, information derived from your use of the Site (including without limitation, account records, order details and message records) that pertain to the incident in question may be the subject of investigatory requests from law enforcement, and Shipt may disclose such information in compliance with the Shipt Privacy Notice, found at https://www.shipt.com/privacy-policy/.
Prices, Fees and Charges
The prices displayed on the Site may exceed the price available for such item when purchased in-store. See https://help.shipt.com/pricing/how-are-your-prices-determined for more on the calculation of prices for products offered on the Site. By purchasing items using the Site, you expressly accept the prices associated with such items.
Prices displayed on the Site are exclusive of all sales, use, or excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by you in relation to use of the Site. Any such taxes, duties and charges currently assessed or which may be assessed in the future, that are applicable to the sales made under these terms are for your account, and you hereby agrees to pay such taxes. Tax will be calculated and applied automatically to each order, where applicable.
Shipt may change the fees it charges for the services, including but not limited to Delivery fees, Service fees, Alcohol fees, CA Shopper Benefits fees, and other order fees. Upon your placing an order through the Site and prior to Shipt fulfilling your order, Shipt will immediately charge the payment card associated with your account (“Pre-Authorization”). The amount charged as Pre-Authorization will exceed the total cost of items purchased by you through the Site. The increased amount of the Pre-Authorization is intended to account for the potential for in-store order changes that may cause your order total to increase after finalizing the order in the Shipt app. For example, substitute items, special request items that are not found in the catalog, and add-ons made by you during the course of your shopper’s trip to the store can all cause your order total to increase after checkout, which Shipt attempts to account for through the increased Pre-Authorization amount. The Pre-Authorization will never exceed $50.00 over the amount of your order total at checkout. In the event that the Pre-Authorization exceeds the total order amount after the conclusion of shopping, Shipt will automatically refund the difference between the Pre-Authorization and the actual total. While this refund occurs automatically, it may be up to a day or more before the refund is fully processed. By purchasing items using the Site, you expressly consent to Pre-Authorization charges.
Substitutions
At times, your Shopper will be unable to locate the exact brand and/or quantities of items you order through the Site. When this occurs, your Shopper may, depending on your instructions, be able to substitute the selected items for like goods. Such substitute items may differ from the item originally selected with respect to brand, quality, or price. You may indicate substitution preferences when placing an order on the Site. In those circumstances where you have indicated that substitution should occur at the discretion of the Shopper, or in the event you indicate that the Shopper should contact you concerning substitutions and you are unresponsive to communication from the Shopper, you expressly consent to the Shopper’s use of reasonable discretion in selecting substitute items.
Item Refunds/Credits
In the event that you are dissatisfied with services received by you through your use of the Site, you may be eligible for a credit or a refund. The circumstances under which credits or refunds may be provided are discussed more fully on https://help.shipt.com. Please be aware that a credit or refund will not be applied to your account without you first reaching out to Shipt and describing the issue with detail. The decision to provide a refund is solely within the discretion of Shipt. Nothing herein establishes any obligation on the part of Shipt to offer a credit or refund to you. Any acceptance by you of a credit or refund offered by Shipt constitutes a full release, waiver and discharge of any claim you may have against Shipt, Shipt’s parent company or affiliates, or their directors, officers, employees, or agents, that arises from or relates to the incident giving rise to your request for a credit or refund. Unless otherwise stipulated in writing by Shipt, any credit provided to you under this section will expire after ninety (90) days.
Automatic Renewal of Memberships
Shipt memberships renew automatically. Shipt will process payment for your first Shipt membership fee, and thereafter will automatically process your payment each subsequent membership term. Your Shipt membership will remain in effect until it is canceled.
You may cancel your Shipt membership at any time. To cancel your membership, please access your Manage Membership page. Alternatively, you may send an email to support@shipt.com with your full name, phone number and e-mail address and identify the nature of your request.
The cost of a Shipt membership is disclosed at the time you sign up. If you were offered a free trial of a Shipt membership, you may cancel your membership before the end of the free trial period to avoid being charged the membership fee by accessing your Manage Membership page. To prevent the automatic renewal of your membership, you must cancel your membership before the renewal period. For example, if you have an annual membership, you must cancel before the following year; if you have a monthly membership, you must cancel before the following month.
If we are unable to process your payment for a membership fee renewal, your Shipt membership will not be renewed and will expire.
You can view the details of your Shipt membership fee, or change or cancel the payment card associated with your Shipt membership account, by accessing your account through the Shipt web application or mobile application.
Member Refunds
At the time of cancellation, Shipt may provide membership fee refunds at its sole discretion, pursuant to the following eligibility guidance: (a) if you have an annual membership, you shall be eligible for a full refund of your membership fee if you cancel during the first month of an annual membership; (b) if you have an annual membership, you shall not, absent extenuating circumstances (determined at Shipt’s sole discretion) be eligible for a refund of your membership fee after the conclusion of the first month; and (c) if you have a monthly membership, you will not be eligible for a membership fee refund. If you cancel your membership and receive a refund of your membership fee, your membership benefits shall terminate at the time of cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have previously been a Shipt member, you will not be eligible for a membership fee refund.
Store Policies
All purchases made through the Site are subject to any and all policies maintained by the retailer you select. Shipt does not control those policies or the respective retailer’s application of those policies. You and Shipt shall each endeavor to comply with store policies as applicable.
Store Rewards Points
Shipt can not guarantee that members will accrue reward points while shopping marketplace for the applicable retailer partners’ loyalty programs.
Transactions involving Certain Products
You may have the option to order delivery of alcohol products in some locations and from certain retailers. You will not use Shipt to order alcohol products unless you are 21 years of age or older and you will not furnish alcohol products obtained through Shipt to any person who is not a lawful consumer. You agree that you will comply with all applicable laws related thereto and not cause Shipt, your Shopper, your Driver, or any retailer to contravene or violate any applicable law. Shipt may offer information and a method to connect duly licensed, participating retailers to you to purchase alcohol beverages. Each participating retailer is the seller of record for the particular products it promotes on Shipt and sells to you. SHIPT HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR (I) ANY SALE OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTS OR DELIVERY OF SUCH PRODUCTS SOLD AND DELIVERED BY RETAILERS TO YOU OR ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR THIRD PARTY AND/OR (II) ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY THAT MAY RESULT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM THE PURCHASE AND/OR CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTS PROMOTED OR ACQUIRED THROUGH SHIPT.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse to offer the delivery of certain items. In the event we choose to refuse to offer certain products after you have placed your order but before the product is delivered to you, we may cancel the portion of your order related to that product and issue a credit to your bank or credit card account in the amount of your canceled charge.
To receive delivery of alcohol ordered through the Site, you will be required to present a driver’s license to your Shopper or Driver to permit age verification. Depending on applicable state law, your Shopper or Driver will either scan your driver’s license to confirm your date of birth or visually check the information contained on your driver’s license to verify your age. In the event that you are not in possession of a valid driver’s license at the time of delivery, alternative identification may be acceptable, depending on state law. Examples of potentially acceptable alternative identification include a valid United States passport and a valid U.S. military identification with photograph and date of birth displayed thereon. In no event will Shipt accept any identification that is expired or that does not display your photograph and date of birth. Shipt has sole discretion to determine whether the identification you present is adequate. By using the Site, you acknowledge that failure to present appropriate identification pursuant to the foregoing will preclude you from receiving delivery of alcohol ordered through Shipt.
At the time of delivery of alcohol ordered through the Site, you will be required by your Shopper or Driver to sign a delivery acknowledgment. Shipt is required to maintain a copy of this signature. Shipt’s records of your signature to accept delivery of alcohol shall only be stored for record-keeping purposes, and will be disclosed only to the extent necessary to fulfill requests for information from the retailer from which you purchased alcohol or from applicable legal or regulatory authorities.
Shipt will not deliver alcohol to intoxicated persons. If a Shopper or Driver observes you in what the Shopper or Driver, in his or her sole discretion, perceives to be an intoxicated condition at the time of delivery, your alcohol order will be canceled and no delivery thereof may occur.
Shipt will not honor any “special requests” indicated in your Shipt order with respect to alcohol deliveries.
Delivery-Only and Platform Orders
We are engaged by certain retailers to provide delivery-only services (“DO”) or platform services (“Platform”), which means that those retailers may arrange for delivery of purchased items using Shoppers or Drivers to facilitate deliveries. DO or Platform services do not require you to interact directly with the Site; however, the applicable retailer will interact with the Site to arrange your delivery. By agreeing to receive DO or Platform orders, you agree to all terms hereof that have application to your receipt delivered goods from a Shopper or Driver.
Shipt does not guarantee that DO or Platform services are available at any specific retail location. If you are interested in learning whether DO or Platform services are available to you, please reach out to your local retailer.
To fulfill a DO or Platform order, the applicable retail partner may solicit your telephone number to facilitate the provision of telephonic delivery notifications. By agreeing to use Shipt’s DO or Platform services, you consent to the use of your telephone number by Shipt and Shoppers for the purpose of administering and executing your DO or Platform order.
Shipt Pay Per Order
Shipt users may choose to access Shipt services without signing up for a Shipt membership by selecting Shipt Pay Per Order (“PPO”). PPO permits members to avoid a monthly or yearly membership fee. In exchange, Shipt will charge a per-order delivery fee (“PPO Fee”). The amount of the PPO Fee may vary based on location. Shipt may increase this fee from time to time at its discretion. The PPO fee does not include any applicable taxes or other fees.
All other applicable provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect for PPO orders and users that access Shipt services via PPO.

Mutual Arbitration Provision
Arbitration of Disputes – Please Read . You and Shipt mutually agree to resolve any justiciable disputes, past, present or future, between the Parties, or between you and any of Shipt employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, or assigns, exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of a court or jury trial. Except as it otherwise applies, this Mutual Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16), or if the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, then the arbitration law of your state of primary residency, and shall apply to any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site (including without limitation the scope, enforceability, validity, or conscionability of this Mutual Arbitration Provision) whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. Disputes between the Parties that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreement as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 111-203) or as provided by another Act of Congress are excluded from the coverage of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
If either Party initiates arbitration, the initiating Party must notify the other Party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the Party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by you must be delivered to:
Shipt, Inc.
Attn: Legal Department
420 20th St. N #100
Birmingham, AL 35203
Class Action Waiver – PLEASE READ . You and Shipt mutually agree that by entering into this Mutual Arbitration Provision, both Parties waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action or collective action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Mutual Arbitration Provision or the JAMS Rules, as defined below, any claim in court or arbitration that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by the court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. Shipt may lawfully seek enforcement of this Mutual Arbitration Provision and the Class Action Waiver and seek dismissal of such class or collective actions or claims. The Class Action Waiver shall be severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.
Private Attorney General Action Waiver – PLEASE READ. This Mutual Arbitration Provision affects your ability to bring or participate in private attorney general representative actions under California law. Both you and Shipt agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a private attorney general representative basis on behalf of others. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a private attorney general representative action, or as a member in any such private attorney general proceeding (“Private Attorney General Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Mutual Arbitration Provision or the JAMS Rules, as defined below, any claim in court or arbitration that all or part of this Private Attorney General Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by the court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a private attorney general action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Private Attorney General Waiver is unenforceable, the private attorney general action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Private Attorney General Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. Shipt may lawfully seek enforcement of this Mutual Arbitration Provision and the Private Attorney General Waiver and seek dismissal of such private attorney general representative actions or claims. The Private Attorney General Waiver shall be severable in any case in which the dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.
Applicable Rules of Arbitration. Any arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) and including as follows:
- The arbitration shall be heard by one Arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The Arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute or a retired judge or
- If the Parties cannot otherwise agree to a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place within the state you have identified as your primary state of residency in your Shipt account information.
- Each Party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. However, in all cases where required by law, Shipt will pay the Arbitrator’s and arbitration fees. If under applicable law Shipt is not required to pay all of the Arbitrator’s and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the Arbitrator.
- The Arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the Parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each Party to prepare that Party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving.
- Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver and Private Attorney General Waiver, the Arbitrator may award all remedies to which a Party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable.
- The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such:
- The Arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of Judgment may be entered on the Arbitrator’s decision or award in any court having jurisdiction.
- A Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy in accordance with applicable law, and any such application shall not be deemed incompatible with or waiver of this agreement to The court to which the application is made is authorized to consider the merits of the arbitrable controversy to the extent it deems necessary in making its ruling, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law. All determinations of final relief, however, will be decided in arbitration.

You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Mutual Arbitration Provision and to be represented by counsel at any stage during the arbitration process.

In the event any portion of this Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will be enforceable.

If you opt out of the Mutual Arbitration Provision, you and Shipt will continue to be mutually bound by all other terms of these Terms.
