You agree that We will treat Your use of the Site to access Our Services as acceptance of the Terms herein including Your continued use subsequent to any changes.
Our SERVICES
We act as an intermediary host advertiser of a search, save and share platform (Our Platform’). We are dedicated to facilitating an exclusive online venue whereupon Our Users can browse categories of products and make use of a location filter or input other search terms on the Site to discover the best Deals available from some of the UK’s top Deal Websites (‘Third Party Retailer Site’). We are not a retailer, a distributor or an agent. We are an impartial intermediary sourcing service and We have no interest in getting You to pay more than You should.
All Deals for products advertised on the Site are owned by, or licensed to, Third Party Retailers who may further permit Third Party Promoters to advertise and promote their Deals on the Third Party Promoter Site. If You see the Deal You want on our Site, You can click on it and be transported to the relevant Third Party (‘Third Party Retailer Site where You shall be able to purchase the Deal or alternatively, You may be transported direct to the Third Party Retailer Site where You can purchase the Deal (‘Purchasing Site’).
All purchases of advertised Deals take place off the Site on the Purchasing Site and are subject to the Third Party Retailer Terms and/ or the Third Party Retailer Terms which will detail the respective obligations of You as the buyer and the Third Party Promoter or Third Party Retailer as the seller including information in respect of refunds, cancellations, returns and exchanges as applicable (‘Purchasing Terms’).
We cannot make any guarantees to You as to the quality, safety or merchantability of a Deal which is the sole responsibility of the Seller Parties, or that the Deal Details are accurate in all respects and are not false nor misleading as it is Your responsibility to check the Deals independently. Before purchasing a Deal, You must satisfy Yourself as to the authenticity of the Purchasing Site and the acceptability of such Purchasing Terms prior to making a purchase. Consequently, You release Us (and our agents and employees) from all Claims and Losses (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any Deal promoted on Our Platform and purchased by You notwithstanding the fact that You viewed the Deal and the Deal Details on the Site before being transferred to the Purchasing Site to complete Your purchase.
IMPORTANT: Our Users acknowledge that:
We are likely to have many Deals advertised on the Site concurrently and any number of Our Users may choose to ‘see the Deal’;
We do not check, audit, vet, monitor or control: the identity, credit worthiness or bona fides of Third Party Retailers, the security of Purchasing Sites or the accuracy of the Deal Details published on the Site or the Purchasing Sites in respect of the Deal; and,
We are not party to any contract that may ensue as between You as a buyer and the Seller Party.
Accordingly, We will not be liable to You in relation to any Claims or Losses arising out of any:
Deal;
the non-availability of a Deal;
Deal Details;
acts or omissions of the Seller Parties; or,
Purchasing Site and Purchasing Terms,
all of which are at Your own sole risk.
Our Services offer no advice, recommendations and endorsements in respect of hyperlinks to Third Party Retailer Sites or Third Party Promoter Sites or other third party websites or legal representation under any circumstances. Such hyperlinks are provided for Your ease of reference only and We do not endorse such websites or accept any responsibility for the content of such websites and cannot therefore guarantee, represent or warrant that the content contained in the websites is accurate, legal and/or inoffensive or that they will not contain viruses or otherwise impact Your computer. By using these hyperlinks to other websites, You agree and understand that We shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may arise from Your use of such hyperlinks.
For each Deal advertised on the Site, We shall not be liable to You where such Deal is no longer available. Market prices for products can be volatile and can change on a regular basis and so too can the prices set for the Deals advertised on the Site. When Deals expire they will no longer be displayed on the Site but We cannot guarantee that our Site will always be in sync with the activities of the Third Party Retailers so a delay may be inevitable. Under no circumstances will We be responsible or liable for any pricing errors or for the unavailability of Deals for any reason whatsoever.
