You acknowledge that the Service and Site contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Zipongo, that any actual or threatened breach of Section 4.2 (Ownership) of this Agreement will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Zipongo for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.

II. TERMS OF SALE
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY CONSTITUTE A BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND ZIPONGO AND APPLY TO ALL PURCHASES OF VOUCHERS THROUGH THE SITE..
1. Purchase of Vouchers
You may have the opportunity to purchase Vouchers through the Site that are sold by either the Manufacturer of the goods identified in the Voucher (these will be called “Manufacturer Vouchers”) or a Merchant of the goods or services identified in the Voucher (these will be called “Merchant Vouchers”). When we use the term “Voucher” by itself in these Terms of Sale, we are referring to both Manufacturer Voucher and Merchant Vouchers.
A Manufacturer Voucher can be redeemed for the goods of the Manufacturer that are identified on the Voucher only at participating authorized resellers (“Resellers”) of the Manufacturer’s goods. If no specific Resellers are listed on the Voucher or on the Zipongo site, the Voucher will be valid at all Resellers of the Manufacturer’s goods. The Manufacturer, not Zipongo, is the seller of the Manufacturer Voucher and the goods and is solely responsible for ensuring that all of its Resellers redeem any Manufacturer Voucher you may purchase. Zipongo has no responsibility for redeeming such Manufacturer Vouchers or providing any of the goods described in any Manufacturer Voucher.
A Merchant Voucher is redeemable for goods or services sold by the Merchant and are redeemable only at participating Merchant locations. The Merchant, not Zipongo, is the seller of the Merchant Voucher and the goods and services, and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase. Zipongo has no responsibility for redeeming such Merchant Vouchers or providing any of the goods or services described in any Merchant Voucher.
2. Terms Applicable to all Vouchers
The following terms apply to all Vouchers purchased through the Zipongo site, including Manufacturer Vouchers, Merchant Vouchers and Restaurant Vouchers (see Section 3 below):
All purchases of Vouchers are final and non-cancelable. There shall be no refunds except as stated in Section 5(C) below.
All Vouchers will contain specific terms and conditions relating to the promotional offer contained on that Voucher, which may include a description of the goods or services being offered, the Promotional Offer (see Section 5 below), the Promotional Offer Expiration Date (see Section 5 below), and the Consumer Payment Amount (see Section 5 below). Such terms and conditions may be specified either on the Voucher itself and/or on the webpage where the deal is featured. By purchasing a Voucher you agree to be bound by those terms and conditions as well as these Terms of Sale.
The redemption of Vouchers may require a minimum purchase of the Manufacturer’s or Merchant’s goods or services (unless prohibited by law). Please review the specified Voucher terms and conditions for any such minimum purchase requirement.
Unless otherwise required by law, Vouchers can only be redeemed in a single transaction and are not redeemable for cash. See Section 6 below regarding the treatment of partial redemptions of Vouchers.
Neither Zipongo nor the Manufacturer or the Merchant is responsible for lost, stolen, damaged or mutilated Vouchers or Voucher reference numbers.
Vouchers cannot be combined with any other vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by the Manufacturer or Merchant.
Reproduction, sale or trade of any Voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with applicable law.
Any attempted redemption not consistent with these Terms of Sale or the terms and conditions on the Voucher will render the Voucher null and void.
All Vouchers are void to the extent prohibited by law.
The following additional terms and conditions apply only to Manufacturer Vouchers:
Each Manufacturer Voucher comes in the form of one (1) or more coupons which can be redeemed at Resellers in accordance with said Reseller’s and Manufacturer’s established coupon redemption policies and practices.
Manufacturer Vouchers may be applied only to the specific goods identified on the Voucher, and may not be applied to tax, shipping or handling charges.
Limit one (1) Manufacturer Voucher per redemption. Only one Manufacturer Voucher can be used per order unless otherwise specified by Manufacturer. Two (2) or more coupons that are part of the same Voucher can be used together in a single visit or on separate occasions.
The issuing of credit is at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer unless otherwise required by law.
The following additional terms and conditions apply only to Merchant Vouchers:
Merchant Vouchers may be applied only to merchandise sold by Merchant, and may not be applied to tax, shipping or handling charges.
Limit one (1) Merchant Voucher per redemption. Only one Merchant Voucher can be used per order unless otherwise specified by Merchant.
The issuing of credit is at the sole discretion of the Merchant unless otherwise required by law.
3. Terms and Conditions for Restaurant Vouchers
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 Vouchers. The following additional terms and conditions apply only to Restaurant Vouchers:
The frequency by which you can redeem Restaurant Vouchers is determined by Restaurants, and shall be specified in the terms and conditions indicated for that Voucher on the Zipongo site.
Use of Restaurant Vouchers for alcoholic beverages is prohibited, unless otherwise specified on the Voucher by the Restaurant and only to the extent permitted by applicable law. The applicability and compliance with any relevant law is solely determined and consummated by the Restaurant, and Zipongo has no role in such determination or action on the part of the Restaurant.
Restaurant Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips or prior balances, unless permitted by the Restaurant.
Restaurant Vouchers are valid for dine-in only unless otherwise stated.
The issuing of restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the Restaurant unless otherwise required by applicable law.
4. Charges for Multiple, Unauthorized or Fraudulent Use of Vouchers
You are responsible for all uses of Vouchers you purchase through the Site. You are only permitted to use a Voucher for the allotted amount (typically limit 1 per person, with option to buy 1 additional as a gift). Zipongo will charge you (to the credit card you provided for the initial purchase) if a Voucher in your name is used more than the allotted amount. However, if such multiple use was without your knowledge or authorization, please contact us at help@zipongo.com and we will investigate your case and work with you to resolve the issue.
5. Voucher Expiration Dates
A. Promotional Offer
The Vouchers issued through the Site are promotional vouchers in which a Manufacturer or Merchant offers you the ability to purchase goods and services at a certain value (“Promotional Offer”) during a limited period of time. This Promotional Offer is sold to you at a discount. For example, you may be offered the opportunity to purchase $50 worth of a Manufacturer’s or Merchant’s goods for $25; in this case, this Promotional Offer is worth $50. This Promotional Offer expires as of the expiration date indicated on the Voucher (“Promotional Offer Expiration Date”) and you will not be able to redeem the Voucher for the Promotional Value after that expiration date, unless a Manufacturer or Merchant is otherwise required by law to honor that Promotional Offer after the Promotional Offer Expiration Date.
B. Consumer Payment Amount
You also paid a certain amount to purchase the Voucher (the “Consumer Payment Amount”), which will typically be less than the Promotional Offer of the Voucher. While the Promotional Offer Expiration Date dictates the last date that you can use your Voucher for the Promotional Offer or offer stated on the Voucher, applicable law may require that the Manufacturer or Merchant redeem the Voucher for the Consumer Payment Amount after the Promotional Offer Expiration Date stated on the Voucher. If such redemption is required by law, you will only be entitled to redeem the Voucher if the amount you have previously redeemed (if any) is less than the Cash Payment Amount. In such a case, you will be only be allowed to redeem the Consumer Payment Amount (less any amount previously redeemed) up until the later of: five (5) years after the date of issuance of the Voucher or (2) the minimum length of time allowed by applicable law for a Voucher to expire if such length of time is longer than five (5) years.
C. Failure of Merchant, Manufacturer or Restaurant to Redeem Vouchers
You agree that only the Merchant, Manufacturer or Restaurant (not Zipongo) is responsible for redeeming any Promotional Offer or Consumer Payment Amount that is required by law to be redeemed after the Promotional Offer Expiration Date. However, if you have an expired Voucher and would like to redeem it for the Consumer Payment Amount, and if applicable law entitles you to such redemption, but the Merchant, Manufacturer or Restaurant have refused to do so, then please contact Zipongo at support@zipongo.com and explain your situation in writing (including why you did not use the voucher in full before the promotional expiration date, the name and address of the Merchant, and the name, email and phone for the Merchant staff that rejected your Voucher) and Zipongo will issue you a Voucher with a new expiration date or refund the Consumer Payment Amount of the Voucher in credit for purchases of future Vouchers from Zipongo (presently known as “Pongo Bucks”).
6. Partial Redemption
As a general rule, you are not entitled to cash or credit if you redeem the Voucher for less than the value of the Promotional Offer. However, if such cash or credit is required by law, you will only be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the Consumer Payment Amount and the amount you redeemed, if the amount you redeemed is less than the Consumer Payment Amount. For example, if you paid $20 for a Voucher which entitles you to purchase $50 of a product by October 1, 2011, the Consumer Payment Amount is $20 and the Promotional Offer is worth $50. If you make a purchase for $40 on September 28, 2011, you will not be entitled to any cash or credit back.. If you make a purchase for only $15, you would be entitled to $5 in cash or purchase credit, for use on a future purchase, if such cash or credit is required by applicable law.
7. Zipongo Has No Liability for Goods and Services
The holder and issuer of a Manufacturer Voucher is the Manufacturer and the holder and issuer of the Merchant Voucher is the Merchant. As a holder and issuer of the Voucher, the Manufacturer or Merchant shall be fully and solely 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 Manufacturer or Merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers or portions thereof. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS ZIPONGO, AND ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARY AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND EACH OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM, ANY CLAIM, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, INJURY OR DEATH ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF MANUFACTURER OR MERCHANT IN CONNECTION WITH A VOUCHER, THE SERVICES/GOODS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE UNCLAIMED PROPERTY, GIFT CARD AND OTHER LAWS RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE VOUCHERS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF.
8. Limitation of Liability/Exclusive Remedy
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT NEITHER ZIPONGO NOR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, PARENTS, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS, VENDORS OR LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM: (I) YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE VOUCHER OR THE ZIPONGO SITE; OR (II) YOUR USE OR CONSUMPTION OF ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY AN MERCHANT OR MANUFACTURER.
ZIPONGO’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS OF SALE OR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO A VOUCHER OR ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED WITH A VOUCHER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE VOUCHER OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF REMEDIES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
9. Notices
You agree that Zipongo may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Sale, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Site. In addition, Zipongo may also provide notices of changes to these Terms of Sale or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices to you generally on the Site.

E. Zipongo’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Sale shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

CELLFIRE PROVIDES THE CELLFIRE SERVICE "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. CELLFIRE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

Some states do now allow the exclusion of certain damages, so the above may not apply to you. If any applicable authority holds any portion of this section to be unenforceable, then liability will be limited to the fullest possible extent permitted by applicable law.

YOU AGREE THAT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND CELLFIRE arising from or relating to these Terms of Service, their interpretation or breach, termination or validity, the relationships which result from these Terms of Service, the Cellfire Service, Cellfire's advertising or any related transaction SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES.
2. Binding Arbitration
ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND CELLFIRE, its agents, employees, principals, successors, assigns, affiliates (collectively for purposes of this paragraph, "Cellfire") arising from or relating to these Terms of Service, their interpretation or breach, termination or validity, the relationships which result from these Terms of Service (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties who are not signatories to these Terms of Service), the Cellfire Service, Cellfire's advertising or any related transaction SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, JAMS OR THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR APPLICABLE RULES, OR ANY OTHER ESTABLISHED ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVIDER MUTUALLY AGREED UPON BY THE PARTIES. The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute between you and Cellfire. NEITHER YOU NOR CELLFIRE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS ACTION OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys' fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
3. Limitations of Actions
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Cellfire Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.

Cellfire reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate or restrict your use of the Cellfire Service, without notice, for any or no reason whatsoever.

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the extent or scope of such section. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. These Terms of Service set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Cellfire with respect to the subject matter hereof.
