ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and The Coupon Bureau LTD (“Coupon Bureau”, “we” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the website used to access our services (each, a “Website”), which may allow you to upload information related to offers, coupons, discounts, incentives or other content or materials that can be redeemed by consumers, and review the statistics related to the redemption status of the foregoing; and any other content, features, functionality, and services (collectively, “Services”) offered on or through our Websites, whether as a guest or a registered user.

If your organization has entered into a separate agreement for access and use Services offered on or through the Websites (a “Services Agreement”), these Terms of Use supplement such terms and conditions and the terms and conditions in the Services Agreement will take precedence to the extent there is a conflict with these Terms of Use. You must only access the Websites as an employee or other representative of your employer, and not as an individual consumer. You are not authorized to access the Websites as an individual consumer.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Websites. By using the Websites or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Websites.

Our Websites are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older and reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions. By using our Websites, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Coupon Bureau and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Websites.

CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Websites thereafter.

Your continued use of the Websites following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

ACCESSING THE WEBSITES AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Websites, and any service or material we provide on the Websites, in our sole discretion without notice. Except as may otherwise be set forth in a Services Agreement, we will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Websites is unavailable at any time or for any period.

You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person (including any other employee of your employer) with access to our Websites or portions of them using your user name, password or other security information. You or your employer agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that your employer may take legal or other disciplinary action against you in breach of any of the foregoing.
