The Perks
ServicePerks provides consumers the opportunity to purchase products and services from third-party Merchants with a time limited promotional added value otherwise known as a Perk. Merchants offer these promotions in an effort to attract new customers in the ServicePerks community.
Purchasing a Perk
In placing an order for any given Perk, you are making an offer to purchase the Perk you have selected on the terms, restrictions and conditions associated with the Perk in exchange for goods or services. You are required to create an account in order to purchase a Perk so we can provide You with easy access to print your orders, view past purchases, modify your profile and to ensure permissible use of the Ticket.
The Ticket you purchase through ServicePerks is redeemable for goods or services by the Merchant. The Merchant, not Us, is the seller of the Ticket and the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Ticket you purchase. We sell Tickets that can be redeemed in connection with your purchase of the goods or services from the Merchant.
The Ticket
The Ticket represents two separate portions of the Perk. The first portion is equal to the amount your credit card is charged and similar to a paid gift certificate or the “Paid Portion”. The second portion which represents the Perk is the “Promotional Portion” which is given to you for a specified amount of time and is included with the Perk at no additional cost to You. The paid and promotional portions as a whole make up the Perk which comes in the form of a Ticket issued by ServicePerks. In the event that your Ticket is redeemed for less than the full amount stated on the Ticket, your purchase will be allocated first against the paid portion until it has reached a zero balance ($0) and then against the promotional portion that is remaining.
Terms of the Perks
Each Perk has specific terms associated with the Perk, which are presented to You at the time You commit to purchase a particular Perk. Specific terms related to each individual Perk supersede any inconsistent terms in this Agreement, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law.
For “Restaurants” or Merchants that offer food and beverage for sale in their regular business operations and are making such food available for purchasers in the form of Tickets these rules will apply:
• Redemption’s frequency to be determined by the Restaurant, and shall be included in the Ticket offer on the Site
• Alcoholic beverage sales must remain in compliance with the law and limits are at the discretion of the Merchant
• Tickets may not be combined with any other offer unless otherwise specified by the Restaurant
• Tickets may not be used towards taxes, tips or prior balances unless specified by the Restaurant
• Valid for dine-in only unless otherwise specified by the Merchant
• All purchases of Tickets for Restaurants may have statutory limits on the amount of the Ticket that may be redeemed for alcoholic or intoxicating beverages.
ServicePerks’s role in the transaction is as a marketing agent for the Merchant Ticket, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant statute or code is solely determined and consummated by the Merchant, furthermore ServicePerks plays no role in determining such action on behalf of the Merchant
For Non-Restaurant Merchants offering goods or services in their regular business hours and are making such goods or services available for purchases in the form of Tickets these rules will apply:
• Tickets may be applied to only merchandise sold by the Merchant and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges
• Limited to only one (1) Ticket redemption per order unless otherwise specified by the Merchant
Additional rules that apply to all purchases in the form of Tickets are as follows:
• Restaurant credit is issued on the sole discretion of the Merchant unless required by applicable law
• Neither ServicePerks nor the Restaurant are responsible for lost or stolen Tickets
• Reproduction, sale or trade of Tickets are prohibited unless done so in compliance with applicable law
• Any attempt to redeem the Ticket not consistent with these Terms and Conditions will render the Ticket void
• Void to the extent prohibited by law
• If you redeem the Ticket for less than face value, you are only entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between face value and the amount you redeemed from the Merchant if required by law. You are only entitled to a continuing redemption value as noted above if the amount that you paid for the Ticket exceeds the amount you redeemed.
The issuer and holder of a Ticket, the Restaurant or 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 part or in whole by the Restaurant or Merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liabilities arising from unredeemed Tickets or portions thereof. You waive, and release ServicePerks and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, any claim, liabilities, damages or injuries arising from or related to any act or omission of the Merchant or Restaurant in connection with the Ticket or services or 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 ticket or any portion Thereof. Tickets are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and may not be redeemed incrementally.
Expiration Dates
All expiration dates for Tickets are printed on the Ticket.
If a case arises where the expiration of the value of the Ticket (promotional value) has passed the date printed on the Ticket, according to applicable law under the law of jurisdiction in which the Merchant is located, then the Ticket shall expire as follows: the promotional portion of the Ticket will expire on the date printed on the Ticket. You should be allowed to redeem the cash value or purchase price of your Ticket up until either: the Ticket’s expiration date or the minimum length of time allowed by applicable law for a Ticket to expire. The Merchant is obligated to honor the Ticket in compliance with the law. In the event that you have an expired Ticket and would like to redeem it for the price you paid to acquire it, please contact the Merchant. The Merchant should allow such redemption if applicable law requires it, in the form of cash or credit towards purchases from the Merchant, and we have instructed the Merchant to do so. If the Merchant refuses to honor the Ticket before the legally permitted expiration date, then ServicePerks will refund the paid portion of your Ticket in the form of a credit for future Perks (presently known as “ServiceTokens”). In order to receive the credit you must provide the following information in writing to help@serviceperks.com: (1) identification of the Ticket and Merchant from whom you purchased the Ticket (2) a statement under penalty of perjury, that the Ticket has never been redeemed with the Merchant and (3) an explanation of your situation.
Responsibility of the Merchant
ServicePerks markets the Perks and acts as an agent in selling the Tickets on behalf of Merchants. The Merchant is the issuer of the Ticket. As issuer of the Ticket, it is the Merchant that shall be 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 or its products and services as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from the unredeemed or partially redeemed Ticket. By purchasing a perk, the customer acquires the right to print a Ticket issued by the participating Merchant and to use the Ticket according to its Terms and the Terms of this Agreement. Whether You choose to print and/or redeem the Ticket is within your sole control and at your sole discretion.
Refunds
ServicePerks will provide a refund of the purchase price paid for by You for any Perk within three days after the purchase of a Ticket, provided the Ticket has not already been redeemed. After three days, We do not provide refunds unless you are unable to redeem a Ticket due to the relevant Merchant going out of business.
