Please review the following terms carefully.
LyncMeUp is an online marketplace whereby local retailers and merchants can market promotional discount offerings of their products and services to you and others (the "LyncMeUp Service"). The Site contains, among other things, text, surveys, audio-visual works, communications, content, information, communications, postings, editorial, samples, materials, products, services, logos, graphics, sounds, images, data, services, and the underlying intellectual property rights thereto (collectively the "Content"). The Services and Site are collectively referred to here as “LyncMeUp”.

If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, please do not access this Site, use or download Content from this Site or otherwise use the LyncMeUp Service.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT USE THIS SITE.
1. Our Services
LyncMeUp provides consumers with opportunities to purchase products and services from third party merchants ("Merchants") with a time limited promotional added value (a "Voucher"). Merchants are willing to offer an attractive deal to reach the LyncMeUp community.
1.1 How does it work?
By submitting a bid, you are committing to purchase the Voucher on the terms, restrictions and conditions specified for that Promotional Offer and that such commitment is not cancelable by you unless the Conditions are not met; in which case, the entire transaction will be void and neither you nor the Merchant will be obligated to proceed further. Your credit card will be automatically charged for the stated price on the Promotional Offer once the Conditions have been satisfied without further notice or required consent from you.
If the Conditions of the Promotional Offer are not satisfied, you will be notified that the proposed transaction is void. When your purchase of a Promotional Offer is successful, we will notify you by email when the Voucher is ready to be used. Unless stated otherwise, if the deal ends on a weekday then the Voucher will be sent a day after it ends, if it ends on a Friday/weekend deal, the Voucher will be sent on Monday, if not sooner. The Voucher will contain a unique Voucher number and Redemption Code and this must be printed and returned to the Merchant for redemption. Once the Voucher’s redemption code is used by you (or if it expires as per the terms of the Promotional Offer), it will no longer be valid.
1.2 The Voucher
Each Promotional Offer (Voucher) combines two separate portions: (i) a paid portion equal to the amount your credit card is charged and similar to a paid gift certificate (the "paid portion"); and (ii) at no additional charge to you, a promotional portion for the balance of the value of the Promotional Offer if used by the promotional expiration date on the Voucher (the "promotional portion") (together, the paid and promotional portions of the Promotional Offer are presented in a "Voucher"). In the event you redeem your Voucher for less than the full amount stated on the Voucher, your purchase will be allocated first against the paid portion until it has a balance of zero pounds (£0.00) and then against the promotional portion that is remaining. To be clear, all Vouchers are promotional vouchers that are offered for Purchase below their face value and are subject to this Agreement and to any terms and conditions of the relevant Merchant, detailed before purchase in the 'Fine Print'.
1.2.1 Easy redemeption system
When the fine print of the deal states 'Easy redemption' it means that we've simplified the way your voucher is redeemed for that deal. All you need to do is enter your shipping details when buying the deal at checkout, we'll then pass your name, voucher number and delivery details to the merchant to redeem your voucher whereby they will then dispatch the item on your voucher for delivery. This saves you time and the hassle of remembering to redeem the deal - the product will just arrive in the timeframe contained in the fineprint. If there's ever a problem with the item or it's not delivered in time, just drop us an email and we'll make sure you get the product you wanted or your money returned.
1.3 Expiration dates
The expiration date for a Voucher is as printed on the Voucher.
1.4 Cancellation
You are able to modify or cancel your order before the deal ends by accessing the "My Account" page. However, once a deal ends, your credit card will be charged.
1.5 Deal Specific Terms
Each Promotional Offer has specific terms associated with it, which will be presented to you at the time you commit to purchase the particular Promotional Offer. These Promotional Offer Specific Terms are found in the 'Fine Print' section on the deal page. Promotional Offer specific terms supersede any inconsistent terms in this Agreement, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law.
1.6 General Terms
Unless otherwise stated in the Voucher or required by law, the following additional terms apply to all Vouchers:
• no cash value for any Voucher,
• no cash back will be issued for partial redemption of the paid portion of a Voucher, except as required by law,
• no cash back or credit will be issued for partial redemption of the promotional portion of a Voucher,
• use of a Voucher for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the Merchant (which may be limited by applicable state or provincial law), unless otherwise noted on the Voucher,
• Vouchers cannot be combined with any other coupons or promotions unless otherwise noted in the Voucher,
• Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips, prior balances, shipping or handling, as applicable,
• neither LyncMeUp nor the Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or Voucher reference numbers,
• duplicate use, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited, except as required by law, unless otherwise stated at the time a Voucher is purchased,
• the Voucher price does not include sales, value added or use taxes, which may be charged to you separately by the Merchant at the time you redeem the Voucher.
1.7 Gift Cards
”Gift Cards” are a form of LyncMeUp currency that may be applied as a credit towards future LyncMeUp purchases. There are two types of three types of Gift Cards: Paid Gift Cards, which you may purchase in certain incremental values (either as gift bucks or otherwise), Earned Gift Cards, which are awarded to you from time to time as loyalty rewards or as customer service deems appropriate, and Promotional Gift Cards, which are given to certain customers in connection with a specific promotion, contest or sweepstakes. Promotional Gift Cards expire in accordance with the terms of the particular promotion. Paid and Earned Gift Cards expire three months after the date of purchase or issuance, except where expiration of Paid Gift Cards is prohibited by law. Paid Gift Cards will be applied toward future LyncMeUp purchases before Earned Gift Cards, even if the Earned Gift Cards expire first. Promotional Gift Cards however will always be applied first due to their short term expiration. Additionally, all Gift Cards may only be applied towards purchases that are in the same currency as the Earned, Paid or Promotional Gift Cards. Gift Cards are not returnable or refundable for cash, except where required by law. Resale of Gift Cards is strictly prohibited.
1.8 Emails
After purchasing, we reserve the right to send you administrative and promotional emails. We may also send you information regarding your purchases and account activity, as well as updates about the Website and Service. (Of course, you can easily opt-out of our promotional emails at any time by clicking ‘unsubscribe’ found at the bottom of such emails.)
1.9 Referral Credit
All deals on LyncMeUp.com are eligible for referral credit (except the ones that are lesser than £6 or as stated in the fine-print of the deal). For every person that buys their first deal within a month of clicking your recommendation link, we'll credit your account with £6.00! This credit will be automatically applied after 7 days of their purchase and you can use this credit toward your next purchase. You can refer as many people as you like. Check your balance by clicking My Stuff > My Transactions. We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw credit when the recommendation function is being abused.
2. Merchant Responsibility
To be clear, LyncMeUp markets the Promotional Offers and acts an as agent in selling the Vouchers on behalf of the Merchants. But the Merchant is the issuer of the Voucher. As issuer of the Voucher, the 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 Merchant or its products and services, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed or partially redeemed Vouchers. By purchasing a Promotional Offer, a customer acquires the right to print a Voucher issued by the participating Merchant and to use the Voucher according to its terms and the terms of this Agreement. Whether you choose to print and/or redeem the Voucher is within your sole control and at your sole discretion.
