I.TERMS OF SALE
1. General Terms
By placing an order for a Deal from a Merchant through Gold Country Media, you make an offer to purchase the Deal you have selected on the terms and conditions stated below.
You are required to create an account in order to purchase any Deal. This is required so we can provide you with easy access to your orders, view your past purchases, modify your preferences, and help ensure permissible use of the Deal.
All Deals obtained through the Site are to be used in exchange for goods or services of a Merchant, often at a discount from their retail cost. The Merchant, not Gold Country Media, is the seller of the Deal and the goods and services described therein. The Merchant, not Gold Country Media, is solely responsible for redeeming any Deal you purchase and providing all of the goods and services described therein.
Gold Country Media is not responsible for the redemption, errors/omissions or expiration of Deals. It is the User's responsibility to make sure that a Deal is presented at the appropriate time specified in the Deal or, if no time is designated, during the checkout process with the Merchant, and that the discount, special pricing, or free offer is obtained. All offers and promotions facilitated by Gold Country Media are subject to change without notice. Gold Country Media has no control over and takes no responsibility for the legality of any Deal or other offers made by Merchants, the ability of any of the Merchants to complete the sales in accordance with the offers, or the quality of the goods or services offered by the Merchant. Gold Country Media has no control over whether Merchants will honor Deals, and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Gold Country Media Site. In the event that you have a dispute with a Merchant in any way relating to a Deal or the use of information from the Site, User agrees to waive and release Gold Country Media from any and all claims, demands, actions, damages (actual and consequential), losses, costs, or expenses of every kind and nature, known and unknown, disclosed and undisclosed relating to that dispute. Deals purchased on the Site will be fulfilled directly by the Merchant, and all purchases made will appear on User’s credit card bill under the name Gold Country Media. When purchasing Deals, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as credit card information and a shipping address. By completing these purchases, User agrees to pay all charges incurred on User’s credit card.
Deals cannot be redeemed for cash. Prices and availability of the products and services listed on the Site are subject to change without notice. If a product or service is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or error in pricing information received from a Merchant, Gold Country Media reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order placed for a Deal at the incorrect price, even if the order has been confirmed and/or a credit card has been charged. If a User’s credit card has already been charged for the purchase and the order is canceled, User will have to notify the Merchant directly for a credit to User credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price.
Deals purchased expire on the date stated on the Site or on the printed Deals, except where such expiration may be limited or prohibited by law. Gold Country Media is not responsible for the actual available usage or duration of any Deal, or the policies of the Merchant who provide the certificates. Contact the Merchant directly to confirm restrictions. Gold Country Media is not responsible for any goods or services purchased with Deals. Gold Country Media is not responsible if a Merchant ceases business operations or changes locations. There are no refunds or returns of Deals.
2. Specific Terms and Conditions for Deals.
3. Additional Terms and Conditions.
All Deals shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Gold Country Media and the participating Merchant. The Merchant is the seller of the goods or services you are purchasing.
The holder and issuer of a Deal is the Merchant, who 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, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Deals or portions thereof. You waive, and release Gold Country Media and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, any claim, liabilities, damages, or injury arising from or related to any act or omission of Merchant in connection with a Deal or the services/goods provided in connection therewith and/or as it relates to compliance with applicable unclaimed property and other laws relating to the redemption of the Deals or any portion thereof. Deals are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and may not be redeemed incrementally.
According to applicable law, the Merchant may be responsible for allowing you to redeem your Deal for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your Deal (i.e. if you paid $40 for a Deal which gives you $80 of value to the Merchant, the cash value that you paid is $40, not $80), for a period of time that extends beyond the expiration date on the Deal. While the expiration date on the Deal dictates the last date that you can use your Deal at Merchant for the promotional offer stated on the Site, applicable law may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that you paid for your Deal for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the Deal. In other words, you may be allowed to redeem the cash value (or purchase price) of your Deal up until the greater of: (1) the Deal’s expiration date; or (2) the minimum length of time allowed by applicable law for a Deal to expire. In the event that you have an expired Deal and would like to redeem it for the price you paid to acquire it, please contact the Merchant. Once again, the Merchant should allow such redemption if applicable law requires it, and we have instructed the Merchant to do so. If you have gone to the Merchant and the Merchant has refused to redeem the cash value of your expired Deal, and if applicable law entitles you to such redemption, then please contact Gold Country Media and explain your situation in writing. Gold Country Media will consider a refund for the purchase price of the Deal in either U.S. Dollars or credit for purchases of future Deals from Gold Country Media.
