Terms of Sale
A.GENERAL
By purchasing, printing, accepting, using or attempting to use any voucher, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and these Terms of Sale, specifically (“rules”) the terms on the voucher itself and any additional, service offering specific terms advertising the voucher at the time of purchase (collectively, the “fine print” regardless of how labeled). Fine print includes, but is not limited to, the expiration date, price, discount, and all limitations. Specific state redemption expiration requirements are solely the responsibility of the Merchant. These rules apply to all promotional vouchers that we make available, unless a particular voucher’s fine print states otherwise, and except as otherwise required by law. In the event of a conflict between these rules and a voucher’s fine print, the voucher’s fine print will control; provided, however, that in the event that there is a conflict between an applicable state law and such rules and/or voucher’s fine print, such applicable state law shall prevail. If you have a question or need a refund pursuant to these Terms of Sale, please contact us by email at support [at] MyTime.com .
B.VOUCHERS
Vouchers you purchase through our Site as an MyTime account holder are special promotional offers that you purchase from participating Merchants through the Service. The vouchers are redeemable for certain goods, services or experiences offered by, or facilitated through, the Merchant identified on the voucher. Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized reproduction, resale, modification or trade of vouchers is prohibited. Some vouchers are only redeemable at a certain date and time, known as the “Appointment Time”.
MyTime is a service provider for the Merchant identified on the voucher and the Merchant is the sole issuer of the voucher. At times, you may purchase discounted Vouchers (“Discounted Vouchers”) during times specified by a Merchant for a specific Appointment Time or you may purchase full priced Vouchers (“Full Priced Vouchers”) for products or services at non-discounted times. Discounted Vouchers are redeemable only on, and will expire on, the expiration of the specified Appointment Time. You understand and agree that Discounted Vouchers that are not redeemed by their specific Appointment Time for any reason (excluding the cancellation of such voucher pursuant to Section C below) are forfeited and no refund of such Discounted Voucher will be issued. You must contact the Merchant directly with any questions regarding the expiration of a Discounted Voucher. Full Priced Vouchers expire on the date as stated on such voucher.
C.CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
If you wish to cancel an Appointment Time, you must do so in writing by emailing MyTime at support [at] MyTime.com at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such Appointment Time. You understand and agree that should you cancel your Appointment Time with less than twenty-four (24) hours notice or if you do not show up for your Appointment Time, you will lose the full value of the voucher for the Merchant goods or services to be received. If you accept any Merchant offer or voucher that has an Appointment Time less than twenty-four (24) hours from the time of purchase of such voucher, you acknowledge and agree that the purchase price for such voucher is non-refundable.
A full refund will be issued to you upon either of two events: (a) if you cancel an Appointment Time with at least twenty-four (24) hours written cancellation notification by you to MyTime at support [at] MyTime.com prior to your set Appointment Time, or (b) if the Merchant cancels your Appointment Time or if the Merchant refuses to honor any voucher at the date and time stated on the voucher. If you wish to make a request for a refund, any such request for refund must be made prior to the expiration of twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Appointment Time. For each valid refund request, MyTime will refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment, or will credit the MyTime account of the purchaser with an equivalent value in MyTime “Credits” for future purchases on the Site. MyTime Credits do not expire.
D.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE MERCHANT listed as the provider of the products or service specified in a voucher IS (A) THE ISSUER OF THE VOUCHER AND IS solely responsible for redeeming the voucher; (B) fully responsible for all PRODUCTS and services it provides to you, AND (C) LIABLE FOR ALL DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED.
