II. TERMS OF SALE

The following terms and conditions of this Part II shall apply to any offer and purchase of any goods or services on GoodNews.com.

You must create an account in order to purchase from a Merchant any Voucher, product or service or to use GoodNews.com, and in order to provide access to print your Orders, view your past purchases, modify your preferences, and to ensure permissible use of GoodNews.com.

Your purchases of Vouchers shall be redeemable for goods or services by the seller of such goods and services (each a "Merchant"). The Merchant, not GNMI, is the seller of the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase.

Offers made by Merchants on GoodNews.com are invitations to you by them to purchase products and services from the particular Merchant. If you wish to subscribe to a particular Offer, your properly completed and delivered Order form constitutes your agreement to accept the particular Merchant’s offer on the terms and conditions specified by the particular Merchant as set out in their Offer.

Once all of the terms and conditions with respect to a particular Offer have been met (including the condition that a specified number of other End Users must subscribe to and accept the particular Offer), your payment will be processed an a Voucher will be issued to you. You may then use the Voucher to redeem your goods and/or services from the particular Merchant.

Please review the terms of an Offer from a Merchant carefully. The total price, may or may not include shipping and handling charges, applicable taxes, or other amounts. If any amounts are not included in the Voucher you will be expected to such extra shipping and handling charges, applicable taxes, or other amounts at the time of exercise of the Voucher with the Merchant or otherwise.

If you wish to revoke your acceptance of a Merchant’s Offer, you may request a cancellation at any time prior to the offer being on. Cancellation requests cannot be accepted once your payment has been processed and a Voucher has been issued to you.

GNMI and the Merchants who advertise on GoodNews.com rely on the information you provide through GoodNews.com, including registration information (name and email address), payment information (credit card numbers and expiration dates), and transaction-related information, which must be true, accurate, current and complete. You will be solely responsible and liable for any and all loss, damage, and additional costs that you, GNMI, any Merchant, or any other person may incur as a result of your submission of any false, incorrect or incomplete information or your failure to update your registration information and payment information within 30 days of any change.

GNMI will make reasonable efforts to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information. In the event that an error does occur, GNMI reserves the right to correct or cancel an Order at any time, and/or edit an Order to reflect the correction, and/or correct the error on GoodNews.com.

1. Terms and Conditions for Restaurant-Specific Vouchers

“Restaurant” means a Merchant who offers food and beverage for sale in its regular business operations, and is making such food and beverages available to purchasers of Vouchers.

  • Redemption frequency is determined by Restaurants, and shall be contained in the Voucher offer on GoodNews.com.
  • Use of Restaurant-specific Vouchers for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the Restaurant. Restaurants must comply with all applicable laws pertaining to the sale and serving of alcohol.
  • It is at the discretion of the Restaurant to determine whether Vouchers can be combined with any other Restaurant Vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions.
  • Restaurant-specific Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips or prior balances, unless permitted by the Restaurant.
  • Valid for dine in at a specified restaurant only unless otherwise stated.
  • The issuing of Restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the Restaurant unless otherwise required by law.
  • Neither GNMI nor the Restaurant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or Restaurant Voucher reference numbers.
  • Reproduction, sale or trade of any Restaurant-specific Voucher is prohibited unless carried out in compliance with the law.
  • Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms and conditions will render the Restaurant-specific Voucher void.
  • Any offer made by a Restaurant (including, but not limited to, any discounts) expires on the date specified on the Voucher, except that the Merchant may continue to redeem the unused cash value you paid for the Voucher (which is usually less than the original face value of the Voucher) to the extent required by applicable law. See Section 3 below for a more detailed explanation.
  • If you redeem the Voucher for less than its face value, you will not be entitled to a credit, cash or new Voucher equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed, unless otherwise 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 $50 for a Voucher which entitles you to purchase $100 of product by February 1, 2010 and you make a purchase for $50 on January 30, 2010, you will not be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the $100 face value and the amount you redeemed. You will not have any redemption value either because the amount you redeemed is more than what you paid for the Voucher.
  • All purchases of Vouchers for Restaurants may have statutory limitations on the amount of the Voucher value that can be redeemed for any alcohol.

2. Terms and Conditions for Non-Restaurant Merchant Vouchers

  • Merchant Voucher may be applied only to merchandise sold by Merchant, and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges.
  • Limit one Voucher per redemption. Only one Voucher can be used per order unless otherwise specified by Merchant.
  • The issuing of credit is at the sole discretion of the Merchant unless otherwise required by law.
  • Neither GNMI nor the Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Voucher or Voucher's reference number.
  • Voucher cannot be combined with any other Vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by Merchant.
  • Reproduction, sale or trade of any Voucher is prohibited unless carried out in compliance with the law.
  • Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms and conditions will render the Voucher null and void.
  • A Merchant’s Offer (including, but not limited to, any discounts) expires on the date specified on the Voucher, except that the Merchant may continue to redeem the unused cash amount you paid for the Voucher (which is usually less than the original face value of the Voucher) to the extent required by applicable law. See section 3 for a more detailed explanation.
  • If you redeem the Voucher for less than its face value, you will not be entitled to a credit, cash or a new Voucher equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed, unless otherwise 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 $50 for Voucher which entitles you to purchase $100 of product by February 1, 2010 and you make a purchase for $50 on January 30, 2010, you will not be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the $100 face value and the amount you redeemed. You will not have any redemption value either because the amount you redeemed is more than what you paid for the Voucher.

3. Additional Terms and Conditions for All Products and Services

THE MERCHANT IS THE SELLER OF THE VOUCHER AND THE GOODS OR SERVICES WHICH YOU ARE PURCHASING, AND GNMI IS NOT.

All Vouchers printed from GoodNews.com or any website associated with GoodNews.com are promotional Vouchers that are offered to customers below their face value and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of GoodNews.com and the participating Restaurant or other Merchant.

The holder and issuer of a Restaurant-Specific Voucher is the Restaurant. The holder and issuer of a Merchant Voucher is the Merchant. AS A HOLDER AND ISSUER OF THE VOUCHER, THE RESTAURANT OR OTHER 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 RESTAURANT OR THE MERCHANT, AS WELL AS FOR ANY UNCLAIMED PROPERTY LIABILITY ARISING FROM UNREDEEMED VOUCHERS. Restaurant-specific Vouchers and other Merchant Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety only and may not be redeemed incrementally.

According to the laws of the respective jurisdictions in which you purchased your Voucher, and in which you wish to redeem your Voucher at the Merchant, the Merchant is responsible for allowing you to redeem your Voucher for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your Voucher (i.e. if you paid $20 for a Voucher which gives you $50 of value to the Merchant, the cash value that you paid is $20, not $50), for a period of time that may extend beyond the expiration date on the Voucher. While the expiration date on the Voucher dictates the last date that you can use your Voucher at Merchant for the promotional offer which is stated on the Voucher, applicable laws (which vary jurisdiction by jurisdiction) may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honouring the cash value that you paid for your Voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the Voucher. If applicable, this law applies to the Merchant, and it is the sole responsibility of the Merchant (and in no way the responsibility of GNMI, as GNMI is not the Merchant, has no obligations of the Merchant, and is merely issuing the promotional Voucher on behalf of the Merchant) to comply with such laws and statutes which may govern the Merchant, the Voucher and the applicable goods and services.

Compliance with applicable statutes, laws, regulations or codes is the responsibility of the Merchant. GNMI’s sole role in the transaction is as an advertiser for the Merchant, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant law, statute, regulation or code is solely determined and consummated by the Merchant, and GNMI has no role in such determination or action on the part of the Merchant.

GNMI reserves the right to limit quantities available for sale or sold, and the right at any time to reject, correct cancel or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever. If the price of any product you order was incorrectly displayed on GoodNews.com, GNMI will provide you with an opportunity to place an Order at the correct price.

GNMI strives to prevent errors. How GNMI fixes them depends on the error. If GNMI finds that a description is incorrect, for example, GNMI will correct it. In general, you should know that prices and availability are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered. GNMI reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, including after an order has been submitted, whether or not the Order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your Order is cancelled, GNMI will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. While GNMI takes steps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of product and third-party services information provided, please refer to the originator of the information (e.g., the manufacturer) for complete product details.
