During the registration process, you will have the option of (i) registering directly with Plum District by providing your email address or (ii) by logging into the Services using your Facebook account credentials via Facebook Connect. Creating an Account for the first time through Facebook Connect will enable you to share information that you have provided to Facebook with Plum District according to your Facebook privacy settings. By using Facebook Connect, you are allowing Plum District to access your Facebook account information and you are agreeing to abide by the applicable terms of your Facebook account regarding your use of the Services via Facebook. If you are not currently registered as a Member and you click on “Login with Facebook”, you will first be asked to enter your Facebook credentials and then be given the option to register and join Plum District.

Privacy

See Plum District’s Privacy Policy at www.plumdistrict.com/p/privacy_policy for information and notices concerning Plum District’s collection and use of your personal information.

Purchasing Vouchers

Through the Site and Services, Members can purchase vouchers offered by Merchants that can be used in exchange for goods and services provided by Merchants (“Vouchers”) at a promotional rate. Any Voucher purchased through the Site and Services is only redeemable for goods or services by the applicable Merchant. The Merchant, not Plum District, is the seller of the Voucher and the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher purchased through the Site and Services. If you, as a Member, choose to enter into a transaction with a Merchant through the Site and Services and purchase a Voucher from the Merchant via your Account, you are agreeing to any terms, conditions and restrictions associated with such Voucher. In connection with your purchase, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Plum District or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay Plum District for all purchases of Vouchers in connection with your Plum District Account and you hereby authorize the collection of such amounts on behalf of the Merchant by charging the credit card provided as part of your order, either directly by Plum District or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor. All fees are payable in United States dollars. Once your transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email including your Voucher which you can print for use. You will also be able to print the Voucher by accessing your Plum District Account. All amounts paid for Vouchers are non-refundable. Credits will not be given for any unused Vouchers.

Terms Applicable to all Vouchers

All Vouchers are subject to the terms and conditions of the participating Merchant. The holder and issuer of the Voucher is the Merchant and Plum District is not responsible for, nor will Plum District have any liability with respect to: (i) any goods or services offered or provided by a Merchant in connection with a Voucher or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers; or (ii) any third party claims in connection with, or arising out of any such goods or services, or a Member’s use or possession thereof. Compliance with state statutes, codes or laws applicable to the Vouchers is the responsibility of the Merchants. The applicability and compliance with any relevant statutes, codes or laws is solely determined and consummated by the Merchant, and Plum District has no responsibility in this regard. By way of example, the Merchant, not Plum District, is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws with respect to the expiration and redemption of Vouchers. While the expiration date on the Voucher dictates the last date on which the Voucher may be redeemed from a Merchant, state laws (which vary state by state) and U.S. federal laws may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that a Member paid for the Voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on such Voucher.

You, as a Member, are solely responsible for your use and redemption of Vouchers, including making any reservations with the Merchant, if applicable. Further, you will be responsible for, and will promptly pay, all applicable taxes and duties of any kind (including, but not limited to, sales, use and/or transaction taxes) associated with your purchase of goods and services using a Voucher. Unless otherwise stated on the Voucher, the terms accompanying the Voucher or required by law, the following additional terms apply to all Vouchers purchased through the Site and Services:

 

  • Any attempted redemption of a Voucher inconsistent with applicable terms and conditions provided on or in connection with a Voucher will render such Voucher void;
  • Vouchers cannot be redeemed by the applicable Merchant before the effective date listed on the Voucher;
  • Neither Plum District nor the Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or Voucher reference numbers;
  • Vouchers must be used in one (1) visit to the Merchant and Vouchers cannot be combined with any other coupons or promotions;
  • Duplicating a Voucher for sale or trade is prohibited;
  • Unless otherwise stated at the time a Voucher is purchased, the listed price for a Voucher does not include tax, gratuity or prior balances you may have with a Merchant;
  • At the sole discretion of the Restaurant Merchant, Vouchers may be used for alcoholic beverages and the Restaurant Merchant agrees to comply with all state alcohol laws; and
  • Other terms and conditions or restrictions may be provided on each Voucher. We recommend that you check with the Merchant for any additional terms and conditions that may apply to your use of a Voucher.
  • Void to the extent prohibited by law.

 

Unless prohibited by law, you agree that any violation of any Merchant's terms and conditions may result in: (i) forfeiture of any amounts paid for such Voucher; and (ii) denial of access to or use of the applicable product, service or Merchant property or removal therefrom.

No Refunds

All amounts paid for Vouchers are non-refundable. However, Members may resell Vouchers or give Vouchers as gifts if permitted by the applicable Merchant. If after your experience with a Merchant you are unsatisfied for any reason, or if a Merchant refuses to redeem a Voucher which you purchased via the Services and applicable law entitles you to such a redemption, or if you have any problems, claims or questions related to Vouchers, please contact us at help@plumdistrict.com and provide us with a description of the issue and/or comments regarding your experience. Plum District will consider your questions, as appropriate, in its sole discretion.

Plum District Referral Program

As a Member, by referring your friends to the Services or by engaging in other activities via the Services, you may participate in the Plum District Referral Program, which is a loyalty program we offer to our Members. If you choose to participate in the Referral Program, for each friend you refer to Plum District for which a Qualifying Referral (defined below) is completed, you may be able to receive Plum Dollars (defined below) (each a “Referral Reward”). “Plum Dollars” are “points” that may be applied as credits toward future purchases made by Members via the Site and Services.  You may earn up to 100 Plum Dollars per year across all Plum District referral programs.

In order to receive a Referral Reward, each of the following requirements must be met (collectively, a “Qualifying Referral”): (i) you must log in to your Account on the Site and select the “Refer My Friends” link; (ii) you must share the link provided with friends via Facebook and Twitter, by copying and pasting the unique referral link generated via the Services, or by sending the unique referral link generated via the Services in an email via the Services to your friends; (iii) a friend who clicks the link on Facebook, Twitter or otherwise or clicks the link contained in the email must create a Plum District Account and become a Member; and (iv) after becoming a Member, the friend must complete a purchase of a Plum Deal through the Site or Services.  You may not earn Plum Dollars through the Referral Program and at the same time earn revenue via the Affiliate Program. Any violation may result in removal of Plum Dollars or account cancellation.

Satisfaction of a Qualifying Referral and the Referral Reward you receive will be reflected in your Account in a commercially reasonable amount of time after the Qualifying Referral has been completed. The Referral Rewards you accrue will be displayed in your Account profile page. Referral Rewards can be accrued solely by you and you may not earn Referral Rewards by permitting another individual to use your Account. Referral Rewards accrued in multiple Accounts may not be combined into one Account. You may not earn Referral Rewards by creating multiple Accounts. By acquiring Referral Rewards, you agree and acknowledge that Plum District is granting you a limited, revocable license to a digital item, and that Referral Rewards are not your personal property. You may not obtain any cash or money in exchange for Referral Rewards. Except as explicitly provided herein, Referral Rewards are non-transferable. Members are responsible for keeping track of the Referral Rewards in their Accounts.

Specific Terms Regarding Plum Dollars

Plum Dollars may only be redeemed for purchase of Vouchers via the Site and Services. You may only redeem Plum Dollars after the Plum Dollars are reflected in your Account. The scope, variety, and type of services and products that you may obtain by redeeming Plum Dollars can change at any time. Plum Dollars may not be used towards purchases of Plum Steals.

As of April 14, 2011 and subject to applicable law, all Plum Dollars expire six (6) months from the date following the last credit to your Plum Dollar Account. If for some reason you believe that there is a discrepancy regarding your balance of Plum Dollars, please contact us at help@plumdistrict.com. Plum District may require to you to submit additional information in order to make a determination regarding your balance. All decisions regarding your balance will be final and at Plum District’s sole discretion. You are responsible for any tax consequences, if any, that may result from your redemption or use of Plum Dollars.

Without limiting any other terms of these Terms and subject to applicable law, all Plum Dollars are forfeited if your Plum District Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Plum District’s sole discretion, or if Plum District discontinues providing the Site and Services or the Referral Program.
