Unsolicited Material and Ideas.

Metromix.com is not responsible for the similarity of any of its content or programming in any media to materials or ideas provided to Metromix.com. You acknowledge and agree that if you send any unsolicited materials or ideas, you do so with the understanding that no additional consideration of any sort will be provided to you, and you are waiving any claim against Metromix.com and its affiliates regarding the use of such materials and ideas, even if material or an idea is used that is or may be substantially similar to the idea you sent.


Terms of Sale - Third Party Transactions

During your visit to the Site, you may elect to engage in a transaction involving the purchase of a product from a third party, such as an online advertisement, deal vouchers or other tangible goods and services. Credit card transactions and order fulfillment are often handled by a third party processing agent, bank or distribution institution. While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as perfect security on the Internet or offline Metromix.com cannot and does not take responsibility for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties.

Terms of Sale - Merchant Deal Vouchers Offered On The Site.

Separate from the third party transactions referenced above, Metromix.com also works directly with various merchants who, from time to time, offer deals for products, services or events on the Site.  You may purchase vouchers ("Vouchers") for such deals with these merchants on the Site.  You must register with Metromix.com to purchase Vouchers for merchants with whom Metromix.com has a direct relationship.  By registering, Metromix.com can provide you with easy access to print your Vouchers, view past purchases, modify your preferences and ensure permissible use of Vouchers. 

Except where otherwise prohibited by law or as provided in these terms, Vouchers shall expire on the date specified on the Voucher (the "Expiration Date"). While the Expiration Date on the Voucher dictates the last date that you can use the Voucher at the merchant for the offer which is stated on the Voucher, applicable federal or state laws may provide that the merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value or face value that you paid for the Voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the Voucher. These laws apply to merchants, and it is the sole responsibility of merchants, not Metromix.com, to ensure compliance. Merchants, not Metromix.com, have the responsibility to determine the applicability and compliance with any relevant statute or code.

Some deals have minimum and/or maximum sale requirements.  If a deal does not have a minimum sale requirement, your credit card will be charged upon your purchase of the Voucher.  If a deal has a minimum sale requirement (i.e. 100 Vouchers must be sold before the deal becomes active), your credit card will not be charged until achievement of the minimum sales required.  If a deal has a maximum purchase requirement which has already been met, you will not be able to purchase that deal. You may not use a Voucher until you receive theVoucher by email. 

Vouchers sold on the Site are subject to the following conditions, unless other terms are agreed to by merchant or as otherwise required by applicable law:

·         You must be at least 18 years or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to purchase a Voucher, and at least 21 years old to purchase a Voucher redeemable for alcohol;

·         You are limited to 1 Voucher per sale transaction;

·         Only 1 Voucher can be redeemed per party or group;

·         Tax, gratuity, handling and shipping are not included in the value of a Voucher and will be added to the value of services or goods purchased with a Voucher;

·         You cannot apply a Voucher towards any prior balances owed to a merchant;

·         You many not sell, copy or otherwise duplicate a Voucher;

·         You may not combine Vouchers with any other vouchers, certificates, coupons, promotions, deals or offers;

·         You must redeem a Voucher in its entirety and on a one-time basis only;

·         You may not redeem a voucher incrementally; and

·         You are responsible for Vouchers you have purchased if they are lost or stolen.

Any attempted redemption not consistent with these Terms of Sale will render the voucher null and void.

All purchases of Vouchers for restaurants may have statutory limitations on the amount of the Voucher value that can be redeemed for alcoholic beverages.

Errors in Advertisements, Listings and Vouchers.

On occasion, a product, service or venue may not be available at the time, place or the price as it appears in an advertisement, listing or Voucher. In such event, or in the event a product, service or venue is listed at an time, place or price or is otherwise incorrect due to typographical error, technology effort, error in the date or length of publication, or error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers, users, merchants or suppliers, you agree Metromix.com is not responsible for such errors or discrepancies.

Under no circumstances will Metromix.com be liable for any goods, services, resources or content available through such third party dealings or communications, or for any harm related thereto.
