Dealster acts as an agent in marketing and selling Deals on behalf of a Merchant. The Merchant is the issuer of the Voucher.
The Merchant establishes the terms by which each Deal is offered. The terms are noted in the description of the Deal and on the Voucher. Unless superseded by applicable law, the terms of the Deal must be followed to redeem the Voucher.
The Merchant shall be fully responsible for any and all illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by you or in respect of a customer, whether caused in whole or in part by the Merchant or its products and services.
By purchasing a Deal, you acquire the right to use the Voucher in accordance with the terms of the Deal. Whether you choose to redeem the Voucher is within your sole control and at your sole discretion. Dealster shall not be responsible for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed or partially redeemed Vouchers.
Dealster does not represent or warrant that any product or service promoted on the Site will be available for purchase.
Each Dealster Voucher has two components. The first, the “Paid Component,” is the amount you paid for the deal. The second, the “Promotional Component,” is equal to the difference between the Paid Component and the value of the deal (i.e., the original price) prior to the discount. For example, if you purchased a deal worth seventy dollars ($70) for thirty dollars ($30), the Paid Component would be thirty dollars ($30), and the Promotional Component would be forty dollars ($40).
The Paid Component of the Voucher is similar to a paid gift certificate. The Promotional Component is offered to you at no additional charge if you use the Voucher by the expiration date printed on the Voucher. Together the Paid Component and Promotional Component comprise the Voucher.
Unless otherwise stated on the Voucher or required by law, the following are the general terms which apply to all Vouchers:
Dealster will provide a full refund of the Paid Component of the Voucher within thirty (30) of the purchase date, provided the Voucher has not been redeemed, lost or stolen. After thirty (30) days, the Merchant is obligated to honor the Voucher in compliance with law.
If the Merchant refuses to honor the Voucher before the legally permitted expiration date, then Dealster shall refund the Paid Component of your Voucher in the form of a credit for future Deals. In order to receive the credit, you must provide the following information in writing to help@dealster.com: (a) identification of the Voucher’s redemption code number, (b) the name of the Merchant with whom you sought to redeem the Voucher, (c) a statement of the date, time, and circumstances in which the Merchant refused to redeem the Voucher, and (d) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the Voucher has never been redeemed with the Merchant.
The expiration date for a Voucher is as printed on the Voucher and refers to the expiration date of the Promotional Component of the Voucher.
If the expiration of the Paid Component of the Voucher as of the date printed on the Voucher is prohibited under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Merchant is located, then the Voucher shall expire as follows: the Promotional Component of the Voucher shall expire on the date printed on the Voucher, and the Paid Component of the Voucher shall expire five (5) years from the date the Voucher is issued, except to the extent applicable law requires that the Merchant extend the period in which the Voucher may be redeemed.
In addition to Deals that can be redeemed at local and online Merchants, Dealster sells on the Site products obtained through special third-party relationships with distributors and wholesalers (the “Products”).
Most orders for Products are usually processed and shipped within five (5) business days and are charged a flat rate of five dollars ($5.00) unless otherwise noted in the description of the Deal. Once the Product is shipped to you, you will receive an email with the shipping information, carrier name, and tracking number.
In no case do we offer refunds on Products. We do, however, honor free replacement of any defective Product purchased from us, including Products that are visibly broken in the box or package, provided you report the defective Product within seven (7) days of receipt and you pay shipping charges to the send the Product back to us.
After seven (7) days, the Product’s factory warranty will be in effect and any defect has to be reported to the manufacturer and/or warranty provider.
To report and return a defective Product, please follow the following steps:
As soon as we receive the Product you will be contacted and your return will be processed.
We reward our loyal customers through our rewards program and the issuance of Badges. Badges are virtual rewards you earn whenever you complete a reward worthy action. Badges are a fun way to get bragging rights and earn credits (“Badge Credits”) that may be used to reduce the cost of subsequent Deal purchases.
With respect to our loyalty program, Badges, and Badge Credits, the following apply:
