Effective and Last Updated: May 24, 2012

READ THIS AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE.

This webpage contains the Terms of Use between you (“you”, “your”, “purchaser”, “user”, “buyer”) and Couptopia, Inc. (“Couptopia”, “we”, or “us”) governing your access to and use of www.couptopia.com (the “Website” or “Site”). If you do not accept these Terms of Use, in their entirety, or if you do not meet or comply with their provisions, you may not use the Website.

1. Overview

YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE IS EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON YOUR AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE. YOUR USE OF THIS SITE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE YOUR AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF USE.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS WEBSITE.

2. Changes to Terms

Couptopia may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion and without notice to you, make changes to (i) these Terms of Use; (ii) this Website, including its look, feel, format, and content, as well as (iii) the products and/or services as described in this Website. You can always find the most recent version of the Terms of Use here. Any modifications will take effect when posted to the Website. Therefore, each time you access the Website, you need to review the Terms of Use upon which your access and use of this Website is conditioned. By your continuing use of the Website after changes are posted, you will be deemed to have agreed to all terms and conditions then in effect.

3. Jurisdiction

The Website is directed to those individuals and entities located in the United States. It is not directed to any person or entity in any jurisdiction where (by reason of nationality, residence, citizenship or otherwise) the publication or availability of the Website and its content, including its products and services, are unavailable or otherwise contrary to local laws or regulations. If this applies to you, you are not authorized to access or use any of the information on this Website. Couptopia makes no representation that the information, opinions, advice or other content on the Website (collectively, "Content") is appropriate or that its products and services are available outside of the United States. Those who choose to access this Website from other locations do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

4. Voucher Use, Offer Restrictions and Expiration Policy

An offer purchased by a user is uniquely identified on a voucher issued to the purchaser and each voucher may not be used more than once. Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash and must be used only at the merchant named on the voucher. Unless otherwise stated on the voucher, you must use the voucher in one visit (you will not receive cash back or store credit for unused amounts). Maintaining the security of a voucher is a user’s responsibility and neither Couptopia nor the participating merchant is responsible for misuse or for lost or stolen vouchers.

Any known limitations applicable to offers are published on the Website offer notification and on the voucher. Examples of such limitations include timeframes applicable to the discount benefit, age requirements, redemption policies for use of multiple vouchers and other restrictions. A user who disagrees with any applicable restrictions, after purchasing an offer, will not be entitled to a refund or credit. Accordingly, it is your responsibility to review all terms and limitations on a promotional offer before purchasing a voucher.

Offer expiration is subject to applicable law. A buyer is not entitled to receive the promotional value of an offer after an offer’s expiration date. The voucher’s purchase price (i.e., the amount a purchaser paid for the voucher) will remain available toward the goods/services identified on the voucher at the participating Merchant without expiration.

5. Withdrawal of User’s Access to the Site

Couptopia has the right to limit or exclude a user’s authorization to purchase offers at the Website for reasons including but not limited to (i) failure to comply with these Terms of Use; (ii) unauthorized or fraudulent use of vouchers; and (iii) efforts to circumvent any security features of the Website.

Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for termination, restriction, or suspension of your authorization to purchase offers on the Website, at Couptopia's sole discretion without notice or liability, and you may be reported to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.

6. Provider of Services, Credits

Couptopia makes its offers available by arrangement with the Merchant. All purchases and sales effectively originate from the Merchant. If you have any difficulties with a voucher, we request that you attempt to resolve it with the Merchant. In the event you are still not satisfied, Couptopia will make a reasonable effort to assist you in resolving the issue with the Merchant. Although we reserve the option to issue you a credit, we do not guarantee that credits will be issued. Final resolution of disputes will be between you and the Merchant.

Please be reminded that Merchant offers represent a significant discount off usual Merchant charges for goods or services and are intended to encourage your continued patronage of Merchant businesses. All customary sales taxes and gratuities remain in effect and are not waived by use of a voucher.

7. Couptopia User Incentives

Couptopia may from time-to-time offer its Website users incentives in forms such as discounts, credits, honorary mentions, rewards, and game challenges. Such incentives are intended to promote use of the Couptopia Site. Any such incentives are offered solely by Couptopia and are in addition to and separate from Merchant offers at the Website. In some circumstances, such as games and rewards, Couptopia may publicize the results of these activities so that site users have evidence that such incentives are authentic. User identification will be limited to first name and Town, and Couptopia’s intent to make such notifications will be identified by Couptopia when the incentive offer is made. A user’s participation in the incentive will be deemed acceptance of these terms.

8. Accounts and Security

Couptopia does not warrant that the functions contained in the service provided by the Website will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that this service or the server that makes it available will be free of viruses or other harmful components.

You may not:

(i) Select or use a User Name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person;
(ii) Use a User Name subject to the rights of any other person without authorization;
(iii) Use a User Name that the Website, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate or offensive.

You shall notify Couptopia of any known or suspected unauthorized use(s) of your Account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

Couptopia offers its services to persons age eighteen (18) or greater unless otherwise noted on a specific offer.
