You will need to register by creating an account with Next Media (either by registering directly with us or by allowing a Next Media application to connect through your Facebook profile) in order to publish Content on the Site or obtain access to certain Services, including Deals. If you choose to create an account or Next Media profile with us, you agree to provide only accurate, complete registration information, and you will keep that information up-to-date if it changes. When you register, you will obtain unique log-in credentials (a "User ID"). Access to the Next Media Site and Services is not authorized by any other person or entity using your User ID and you are responsible for preventing such unauthorized use.

Next Media relies on User IDs to know whether users accessing the Site and using our Services are authorized to do so.

You are solely responsible for any and all access to the Site or use of the Services by persons using your User ID. Please notify us immediately if you become aware that your User ID is being used without authorization.

Non-Confidentiality, Security and Privacy

You understand that much of the information that you submit to us (such as a posting) is submitted precisely for the purpose of disclosure in a variety of ways by Next Media, and therefore such information is not subject to any confidentiality obligation. Other information, such as credit card information provided in connection with the purchase of a Deal, is maintained with appropriate privacy and security protections. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information that pertains to your privacy. The Privacy Policy forms part of our agreement with you and is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. For full details, please refer to our Privacy Policy at http://www.Next Media.com/privacy.html . Any communications between you and Next Media, such as email or other correspondence, in which you offer suggestions or comments for improving or modifying our Services will be deemed by us to be non-confidential and non-proprietary and you agree that such information may be used by us without any limitation whatsoever.

Rules Regarding Information and other Content

When you use the Site, you can publish and obtain access to various kinds of information and materials, all of which we call "Content."

Though we strive to enforce these rules with all of our users, you may be exposed through the Site or Services to Content that violates our policies or is otherwise offensive. You may use the Site and Services at your own risk. We may, but are not obligated to, terminate user accounts and/or remove Content from the Site if we determine or suspect that those accounts or Content violate the terms of this Agreement or the applicable agreement with the offending user(s). We take no responsibility for your exposure to Content on the Site whether it violates our content policies or not.

Links to Third Party Sites

We don't have control over websites that Next Media may link to. Next Media may contain links to third party websites that are not owned, operated, or controlled by Next Media. Therefore, we cannot and do not assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of such websites or the companies that own them. Additionally, we cannot and will not censor or edit the content of any third party site. By using Next Media you expressly relieve us from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website.

1. How It Works

By placing an order for a given Deal, you have purchased the Deal you have selected on the terms, restrictions and conditions associated with the Deal. Your credit card will be charged at that time. You are required to create an account in order to purchase any Deal. This is required so we can collect information to allow you to pay for your Deals and provide you with easy access to print your Deals, view your past purchases, and modify your preferences. At the end of the deal (midnight) if at least 501 deals have been sold, we will put 5% of your purchase price back into your account for use toward your next purchase, OR if at least 1001 deals have been sold, we will put 10% of your purchase price back in your account toward your next purchase. There is no expiration on the % we deposit in your account, however, you agree to keep your email address updated with us. If an email becomes void, so does any cash or coupons in the account associated with that email address. Any "party cash" in your account may only be used toward another purchase and is not redeemable for refund or cash.

2. The Voucher

Each Deal combines two separate portions that make up the Deal: (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) a promotional portion for the balance of the value of the Deal (the "promotional portion") (together, the paid and promotional portions of the Deal 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 dollars ($0.00) and then against the promotional portion that is left.

3. Expiration Dates

The Vouchers expire on the date printed on your Voucher, except to the extent applicable law requires that the Merchant extend the period in which the paid portion of your Voucher may be redeemed.

4. Deal Specific Terms

Each Deal has specific terms associated with the Deal, which will be presented to you at the time you commit to purchase the particular Deal.

5. Global 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 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 Purchase Party, LLC nor the merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or a Voucher reference number,
duplicate use, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited, except as required by law.
and please, oh please, call ahead and make a reservation. Make sure you tell them you are a Next Media reservation when you do!

6. Merchant Responsibility

To be clear, Purchase Party, LLC markets the Deals 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 Deal, a customer acquires the right to print a Voucher issued by the participating non-affiliated 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.

7. Promotions of the Deal Program

From time to time we may offer special promotions, contests and/or sweepstakes intended to provide you an incentive to purchase Deals or to encourage you to get others to do so. The applicable rules will be posted on the Site in or near the description of each such promotion. We reserve the right to interpret these rules in our sole discretion, and you hereby agree to our interpretation.

Termination

We may change or discontinue the Site or any of the Services at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement at our election and for any reason, without prior notice, and this Agreement will automatically terminate in the event that you violate any of the terms and conditions set forth below. In the event of any termination, you will immediately cease access to the Site and Services. Any Voucher issued prior to termination will be honored according to its terms and the terms of this Agreement specifically applicable to such Voucher.

Disclaimers of Warranty

We provide the Site and Services "as is", "with all faults" and "as available." We and our suppliers and Merchants make no express warranties or guarantees about the Site, Services or Deals. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VENDORS, AND MERCHANTS DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT THE SITE AND SERIVCES ARE MERCHANTABLE, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURATE, TIMELY, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NEED, OR NON-INFRINGING.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR LIABILITY, OR THE LIABILITY OF OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VENDORS, OR MERCHANTS, FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES THAT YOU PAID US DURING THE PREVIOUS ONE-YEAR PERIOD FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE AT ISSUE. WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VENDORS, AND MERCHANTS, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE UPON THE SITE AND SERVICES.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms of Service and your use of Next Media.
