6. Creating an Account on our Site
You will need to register by creating an account with GEECEEZ (either by registering directly with us or by allowing a GEECEEZ application to connect through your Facebook profile) in order to publish Content on the Site or obtain access to certain Services, including offers. If you choose to create an account or GEECEEZ profile with us, you agree to provide only accurate, complete registration information, and you will keep that information up-to-date if it changes. When you register, you will obtain unique log-in credentials (a "User ID"). Access to the GEECEEZ Site and Services is not authorized by any other person or entity using your User ID and you are responsible for preventing such unauthorized use. Individuals and entities whose privilege to access the Site or use the Services has previously been terminated by GEECEEZ may not register for an account, nor may you designate any of those individuals to use your account on your behalf.
GEECEEZ relies on User IDs to know whether users accessing the Site and using our Services are authorized to do so. If someone accesses our Site or Services using a User ID that we've issued to you, we will rely on that User ID and will assume that access has been made by you. You are solely responsible for any and all access to the Site or use of the Services by persons using your User ID. Please notify us immediately if you become aware that your User ID is being used without authorization.
7. Terms of Sale
Vouchers you purchase through our Site as a GEECEEZ account holder are special promotional offers that you purchase from participating Merchants through our service. The vouchers are redeemable for certain goods, services or experiences offered by, or facilitated through, the Merchant identified on the voucher. The Merchant is solely responsible for redeeming the voucher. The Merchant is the issuer of the voucher and is fully responsible for all goods and services it provides to you and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs ("Liabilities") it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of a voucher or not. You waive and release GEECEEZ and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any Liabilities arising from or related to any act or omission of a Merchant in connection with your use of a voucher or the services/goods it provides in connection with it.
By purchasing any voucher you agree to the terms of this Agreement and these Terms of Sale. By purchasing, printing, accepting, using or attempting to use any voucher, you agree to these Terms of Sale specifically ("rules") the terms on the voucher itself and any additional, deal specific terms advertising the voucher at the time of purchase (collectively, the "fine print" regardless of how labeled). 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.
GEECEEZ is a service provider for the Merchant identified on the voucher and the Merchant is the sole issuer of the voucher. Vouchers have two separate values: (a) the "amount paid" and (b) the promotional value. The "promotional value" is the additional value beyond the amount paid. Together, the amount paid and the promotional value equals the "full offer value" of the voucher. For example, if you pay $20 for a voucher that gets you $50 of goods or services from a Merchant, the full offer value is $50, the purchase value is $20 (this amount does not expire until it is used or is refunded), and the promotional value is $30 (this amount expires on the date stated on the voucher unless expiration of the promotional value is prohibited by law).
If a Merchant or venue refuses to honor any voucher, GEECEEZ will refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment, or will credit the GEECEEZ account of the purchaser for future purchases on the Site. Need a refund or have a question? Email GEECEEZ at support@GEECEEZ.com or call 1 (855) 433-2339 (Monday through Friday, 9-5 pacific time). Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized reproduction, resale, modification or trade of vouchers is prohibited.
8. Agreement Modification
We reserve the right at all times to discontinue or modify any part of this Agreement as we deem necessary or desirable. If we make changes that materially affect your use of the Site or our services we will notify you by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address that is registered with your account and/or by posting notice of the change on the Site. Any changes to these Terms of Use will be effective upon the earlier of our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you or our posting of notice of the changes on our Site, provided that, these changes will not apply to vouchers purchased prior to the effective date of such changes. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Site and for all vouchers purchased after the effective date of the change. We suggest that you revisit our Terms of Use from time to time to ensure that you stay informed of any such notifications of changes to the Site. Your use of the Site after we update these Terms of Use will constitute acceptance of the modified Terms of Use.
