End User shall not post or transmit through these Sites any material which violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others, or any material which is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable, which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law, or which, without Beyond 21, Inc.’s express prior, written approval, contains advertising or any solicitation with respect to products or services.

NEITHER BEYOND 21, INC., NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, MERCHANTS, THIRD-PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS, OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, WARRANT THAT USE OF THESE SITES OR ANY THIRD PARTY SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THESE SITES, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SITE, OR THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR CONTENT OF ANY INFORMATION, SERVICE OR E-CERTIFICATES PROVIDED THROUGH THESE SITES OR THE THIRD PARTY SITES. THESE SITES AND THE THIRD PARTY SITES ARE MADE ACCESSIBLE ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. BEYOND 21, INC. HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE OF TITLE NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 7. Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Release. IN NO EVENT SHALL BEYOND 21, INC., BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR PURCHASE OF E-CERTIFICATES. End User agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Beyond 21, Inc., its respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to any products or services purchased by End User in connection with these Sites or any Third Party Sites. End User is solely responsible for interactions with Merchants or Third Party Sites. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, End User hereby releases Beyond 21, Inc. from any and all claims or liability related to any product or service of a Merchant, any action or in-action by Merchant, including Merchant’s failure to comply with applicable law and/or failure to abide by the terms of an E-Certificate. In connection with the foregoing release, End User hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction) which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Some states do not allow the exclusion of damages or limitation of liability as set forth above, so this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If for any reason any part of this limitation does not apply to you, or is invalid or unenforceable, the aggregate liability of the protected parties shall not exceed the marketing fees collected by Beyond 21, Inc. for the specific E-Certificate purchased by User. If any specific limitation or exclusion in these terms of service is found to be invalid or unenforceable, all other limitations of liability, disclaimers of liability, and exclusions of liability shall remain in effect. 8. Third-Party Content. Beyond 21, Inc. is a distributor and a publisher of content supplied by third parties. Accordingly, Beyond 21, Inc. has no more editorial control over such content than does a public library, bookstore or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of Beyond 21, Inc. In many instances, the content available through these Sites represents the statements, opinions, and judgments of the respective information provider. Beyond 21, Inc. neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made on these Sites by anyone other than authorized Beyond 21, Inc. employee spokespersons while acting in official capacities. Under no circumstances will Beyond 21, Inc. be liable for any loss or damage caused by an End User’s reliance on information obtained through Beyond 21, Inc. It is the responsibility of End User to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice, etc., or other content available through Beyond 21, Inc. Beyond 21, Inc. contains links to third-party websites maintained by other content providers. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Beyond 21, Inc. of the contents on such third-party sites, and Beyond 21, Inc. hereby expressly disclaims any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. If End User decides to access linked third-party websites, End User does so at its own risk. 9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including the Terms of Sale set forth below (which are incorporated into this Agreement), and any operating rules for Beyond 21, Inc. established by Beyond 21, Inc., constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder is a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall be of no legal force or effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions contained in this Agreement, and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of either party to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights or any other rights provided hereunder. 10. Disclosures. Beyond 21, Inc. is located at PO Box 63647, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80962. If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210. II. TERMS OF SALE All E-Certificates printed or accessed from these Sites or any Third Party Site, or any other website associated with Beyond 21, Inc. (hereinafter “E-Certificates”) are promotional E-Certificates that may be purchased from participating merchants (“Merchants”) through Beyond 21, Inc. to be used in exchange for goods and services at a discount from their actual cost. By placing an order for an E-Certificate from a Merchant through Beyond 21, Inc., you make an offer to purchase the E-Certificates you have selected on the terms and conditions stated below. E-Certificate refunds will not be provided, with the sole exception of permanent close of business by the Restaurant/Merchant before the date of the E-Certificate expiration, and then only in the sole discretion of Beyond 21, Inc. Beyond 21 Inc., at its sole discretion, may investigate any complaints by end-users or purchasers, but will not be financially responsible to refund payments. For more information about our collection of personal information, please view our Privacy Policy. The E-Certificate you purchase through Beyond 21, Inc. is redeemable for goods or services by the Merchant. The Merchant, not Beyond 21, Inc., is the seller of the E-Certificate and the goods and services, and is solely responsible for redeeming any E-Certificate you purchase. E-Certificate purchases you elect to make at these Sites will appear on your credit card bill as a purchase from restauranteur.com, and will be sent to you via Email in the form of an Order Confirmation with a unique Order Number that you must print and present in it’s entirety or display in it’s entirety on a hand-held device for redemption. Once the Order Confirmation is redeemed by you or your guest, the E-Certificate will no longer be valid. A copy of the Order Confirmation is supplied to the Restaurant/Merchant for validation at time of redemption. Any attempt to alter or change an Order Confirmation will render the E-Certificate void. 1. Terms and Conditions for Restaurant-Specific E-Certificates. For this section, “Restaurant” shall be defined as a Merchant who offers food and beverage for sale in its regular business operations, and is making such food and beverages available to purchasers of E-Certificates. 1. E-Certificates cannot be combined with any other restaurant certificates, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by Restaurant. 2. Restaurant-Specific E-Certificates cannot be used for taxes, tips or prior balances, unless permitted by the Restaurant. 3. Valid for dine in only unless otherwise stated. 4. The issuing of restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the Restaurant unless otherwise required by applicable law. 5. Neither Beyond 21, Inc., nor the Restaurant, is responsible for lost or stolen E-Certificates or restaurant E-Certificate Order Confirmation numbers. 6. Reproduction, sale or trade of a Restaurant-Specific E-Certificate is prohibited unless done so in compliance with applicable law. 7. Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms & conditions will render the Restaurant-Specific E-Certificate void (void to the extent prohibited by law). 8. E-Certificates are offered at below face-value. As a result, you may redeem them during only one visit and not incrementally over several visits. If you redeem the E-Certificate for less than its face value, you will not be entitled to a credit, cash or new E-Certificate equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed. If required by applicable law, you will only be entitled to a credit or cash from the restaurant/Merchant equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed. 9. Redemption of the E- Certificate for alcohol, if applicable, is at the discretion of the Merchant and is subject to state laws governing the Merchant. Compliance with state statutes or codes is the responsibility of the Merchant. Beyond 21, Inc.’s sole role in the transaction is as a marketing agent for the Merchant E-Certificate, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant statute or code is solely determined and consummated by the Merchant, and Beyond 21, Inc. has no role in such determination or action on the part of the Merchant. 2. Additional Terms and Conditions for All Beyond 21, Inc. E-Certificates. All E-Certificates shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Beyond 21, Inc. and the participating Restaurant or Merchant. The Merchant or Restaurant are the sellers of the goods or services which you are purchasing. The holder and issuer of a Restaurant-Specific E-Certificate is the Restaurant. The holder and issuer of a Merchant E-Certificate is the Merchant. As a holder and issuer of the E-Certificate, 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 whole or in part by the Restaurant or the Merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed E-Certificates or portions thereof. The End User waives, and releases Beyond 21, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, any claim, liabilities, damages, or injury arising from or related to any act or omission of Merchant or Restaurant in connection with an E-Certificate or the services/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 E-Certificates or any portion thereof. Restaurant-Specific E-Certificates and Merchant E-Certificates are redeemable in their entirety ON A ONE TIME BASIS ONLY AND MAY NOT BE REDEEMED INCREMENTALLY. According to applicable law, the Merchant may be responsible for allowing you to redeem your E-Certificate for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your E-Certificate (i.e. if you paid $20 for an E-Certificate which gives you $50 of value to the Merchant, the cash value that you paid is $20, not $50), for a period of time that extends beyond the expiration date on the E-Certificate. While the expiration date on the E-Certificate dictates the last date that you can use your E-Certificate at Merchant for the promotional offer stated on the E-Certificate, applicable law may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that you paid for your E-Certificate for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the E-Certificate. In other words, you should be allowed to redeem the cash value (or purchase price) of your E-Certificate up until the greater of: (1) the E-Certificate’s expiration date; or (2) the minimum length of time allowed by applicable law for an E-Certificate to expire. In the event that you have an expired E-Certificate and would like to redeem it for the price you paid to acquire it, please contact the Merchant. Once again, the Merchant should allow such redemption if applicable law requires it, and we have instructed the Merchant to do so. If you have gone to the Merchant and the Merchant has refused to redeem the cash value of your expired E-Certificate, and if applicable law entitles you to such redemption, then please contact Beyond 21, Inc. [and explain your situation via Email at http://www.restauranteur.com/emailcs.htm] and Beyond 21, Inc. will correspond with the Merchant on your behalf to resolve the issue. |
