How It Works
By purchasing an Offer, you agree to the terms, restrictions and conditions associated with the Offer. Once you've made your purchase, you will received a confirmation of the Offer and your credit card or PayPal account will be charged for the amount of the Offer. We will notify you by email when the Voucher (defined below) for the Offer is ready to be used. You are required to be an Offermatic member in order to receive and/or purchase any offers. A membership with Offermatic is required so that we can send you highly targeted offers related to your purchases and interests.
-
The offer and voucher
Each offer is made up of 2 separate portions: (i) a paid portion equal to the amount your credit card or PayPal account is charged and similar to a paid gift certificate (the "paid portion"); and (ii) at no additional charge to you, a promotional portion for the balance of the value of the Offer if used by the promotional expiration date on the Voucher (the "promotional portion") (together, the paid and promotional portions of the Offer are presented in a "Voucher"). In the event you redeem your Voucher for less than the full amount stated on the Voucher, your purchase will be allocated first against the paid portion until it has a balance of zero dollars ($0.00) and then against the promotional portion that is remaining.
-
Expiration dates
The expiration date for a Voucher is as printed on the Voucher.
If the expiration of the paid value of the Voucher as of the date printed on the Voucher is prohibited under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Merchant is located, then the Voucher shall expire as follows: the promotional portion of the Voucher will expire on the date printed on the Voucher, and the paid portion of the Voucher will expire five (5) years from the date the Voucher is issued, except to the extent applicable law requires that the Merchant extend the period in which the Voucher may be redeemed. The Merchant is obligated to honor the Voucher in compliance with law. If the Merchant refuses to honor the Voucher before the legally permitted expiration date, then Offermatic will refund the paid portion of your Voucher in the form of a credit for future Offers. In order to receive the credit, you must provide the following information by writing to us: (a) identification of the Voucher and Merchant with whom you sought to redeem the Voucher, (b) statement of the date, time, and circumstances in which the Merchant refused to redeem the Voucher, and (c) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the Voucher has never been redeemed with the Merchant.
-
Offer specific terms
Each Offer has specific terms, which will be presented to you at the time you commit to purchase the particular Offer. Offer specific terms supersede any inconsistent terms in this Agreement, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law.
-
Global terms
Unless otherwise stated in the Voucher or required by law, the following additional terms apply to all Vouchers:- No cash value for any Voucher

- Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips, prior balances, shipping or handling, as applicable

-
Promotions
From time to time we may offer special promotions, contests and/or sweepstakes intended to provide you an incentive to purchase Offers or to encourage you to get others to do so. The applicable rules will be posted on the Site in or near the description of each such promotion. We reserve the right to interpret these rules in our sole discretion, and you hereby agree to our interpretation.
-
Refunds
Offermatic will provide a refund of the purchase price paid by you for any Offer within seven days after the purchase of a Voucher, provided that the Voucher has not yet been redeemed. After seven days, we do not provide refunds except that we will provide a refund if you are unable to redeem a Voucher before the applicable expiration of the Voucher because the relevant Merchant has gone out of business.

- Voucher cannot be combined with any other vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by Merchant.
- Reproduction, sale or trade of this Voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with applicable law.
- Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms and conditions will render the Voucher null and void.
- If you redeem the Voucher for less than its face value, you will only be entitled to credit or cash equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed from the Merchant if required by law. You will only be entitled to a continuing redemption value as noted above if the amount that you paid for the Voucher exceeds the amount you redeemed. For example, if you paid $20 for a Voucher which entitles you to purchase $50 of product by February 1, 2010 and you make a purchase for $40 on January 30, 2010, you will only be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the $50 face value and the amount you redeemed from the Merchant (i.e., $10) if required by applicable law. You will not have any redemption value if the amount you redeemed is more than what you paid for the Voucher.
- To be clear, Offermatic markets the Offer and acts an as agent in selling the Vouchers on behalf of the Merchants. But the Merchant is the issuer of the Voucher. As issuer of the Voucher, the Merchant shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect of a customer, caused in whole or in part by the Merchant or its products and services, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed or partially redeemed Vouchers. By purchasing an Offer, a customer acquires the right to print a Voucher issued by the participating Merchant and to use the Voucher according to its terms and the terms of this Agreement. Whether you choose to print and/or redeem the Voucher is within your sole control and at your sole discretion.
