The Site periodically (typically daily) offers for sale vouchers
("Vouchers") which may be exchanged for goods and/or
services at participating merchants or service providers (collectively,
"Merchants" and each a "Merchant"), where
the price payable for any particular Voucher depends upon the number of Site
users that have agreed to purchase a Voucher of that type and the price which
they have agreed to pay for such a Voucher (each such offer to sell Vouchers
under such a system referred to as a "Premier Deal"). The Site
also provides other content and activities including business directories
and reward points systems.

10. Privacy.
You acknowledge that all discussion for ratings, comments, bulletin board
service, chat rooms and/or other message or communication facilities
(collectively "Communities") are public and not private communications,
and that, therefore, others may read your communications without your knowledge.
CityXpress does not control or endorse the content, messages or information
found in any Community, and, therefore, CityXpress specifically disclaims any
liability concerning the Communities and any actions resulting from Site users'
(including without limitation your) participation in any Community, including
any objectionable content. Generally, any communication which you post to
CityXpress (whether in chat rooms, discussion groups, message boards or otherwise)
is considered to be non-confidential. If particular web pages permit the
submission of communications that will be treated by CityXpress as confidential,
that fact will be stated on those pages. By posting comments, messages or other
information on the Site or any Subsite, you grant CityXpress the right to use
such comments, messages or information for promotions, advertising, market
research or any other lawful purpose without territorial, time or other
limitation. For more information see CityXpress' Privacy Policy.
11. License Grant.
By posting communications on or through this Site or any Subsite, you
will be deemed to have granted to CityXpress a royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable, non-exclusive license to reproduce, use, distribute, modify,
publish, edit, translate, perform, and display the communication alone or

or services purchased by you in connection with the Site or
any Subsites.
You are solely responsible for interactions with Merchants and other
users of the Site or Subsites. To the extent permitted under applicable
laws, you hereby release CityXpress from any and all claims or liability

limiting the foregoing, CityXpress will have the right to immediately
terminate any of your passwords or accounts in the event of any conduct

unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of these Terms of
Use. The provisions of Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12

15. Third-Party Content.
CityXpress, similar to an Internet Service Provider, is a distributor (and
not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties and Site users, and
therefore CityXpress has no more editorial control over such content than
does a library or newsstand. Any advice, opinions, statements, offers,
services or other information or content expressed or made available by third
parties, including information providers, or any other Site users are those
of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of CityXpress.CityXpress
neither endorses nor is it responsible for the accuracy or reliability of
any opinion, advice, or statement made on the Site by anyone other than
authorized CityXpress spokespersons while acting in official capacities.
Under no circumstances will CityXpress be liable for any loss or damage caused
by any Site user's reliance on information obtained through CityXpress. It is
your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness
of any information, opinion, advice, etc., or other content available through
CityXpress.
The Site may contain 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 CityXpress of the contents on such third-party
sites, and CityXpress hereby expressly disclaims any representations regarding
the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. If you
decide to access linked third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.
16. Miscellaneous.
These Terms of Use, including the Voucher Sale Terms set forth below (which
are incorporated into these Terms of Use), and any operating rules for the
Site established by CityXpress, 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 will
be of no legal force or effect. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity will not affect
the enforceability of any other provisions contained in these Terms of Use,
and the remaining portions of these Terms of Use will continue in full force
and effect. The failure of either party to exercise any of its rights under
these Terms of Use will not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights
or any other rights provided hereunder.
17. Arbitration.
By using this Site, you agree that all disputes arising out of or in
connection with these Terms of Use, your use of the Site, or in respect of
any defined legal relationship associated therewith or derived therefrom,
will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the International
Commercial Arbitration Rules of Procedure of the British Columbia International
Commercial Arbitration Centre. The appointing authority will be the British
Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre, and arbitration will be
by a single arbitrator, in the English language. The case will be administered
by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre in accordance
with its Rules. The place of arbitration will be Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
VOUCHER SALE TERMS
All vouchers printed from the Site or any Subsite, or any other website associated
with CityXpress are promotional vouchers that may be purchased from participating
Merchants through the Site to be used in exchange for goods and services at a
discount from their actual cost. By placing an order for a Voucher from a Merchant
through the Site, you make an offer to purchase the Vouchers you have selected on
the terms and conditions listed herein. For more information about our collection
of personal information, please view our Privacy Policy. You are required to
create an account in order to purchase any Voucher. This is required so we can
provide you with easy access to print your orders, view your past purchases,
modify your preferences, and to ensure permissible use of the Voucher.
The Voucher you purchase through the Site is redeemable for goods or services by
the Merchant. The Merchant, not CityXpress, is the seller of the Voucher and the goods
and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase.
Further (but without limiting the effects of the previous paragraphs),
unless the relevant Merchant agrees otherwise in the Merchant's discretion:
- Vouchers cannot be combined with any other vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions.
- Limit one (1) Voucher per redemption. Only one Voucher can be used per order.
- Any attempted redemption not consistent with these Terms of Use will render the Voucher void.
- The maximum number of Vouchers (if there is a maximum) available to a single purchaser will be as described in relation to the relevant Premier Deal.
- Neither CityXpress nor any Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers.
- Reproduction, sale or trade of any Voucher is prohibited unless done in compliance with applicable law.
- Vouchers may be applied only to merchandise sold by Merchant, and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges or to taxes.
- The Merchant is responsible for the collection of applicable taxes.
- Use of Vouchers for alcoholic beverages for Merchants that are restaurants is subject to compliance with applicable law.
- All purchases of Vouchers for Merchants that are Restaurants may also have statutory limitations on the amount of the
Voucher value that can be redeemed for alcoholic beverages. Compliance with statutes or codes is the
responsibility of the Merchant. CityXpress' sole role in the transaction is as a marketing agent for the
relevant Voucher, and the applicability of and compliance with any relevant statute or code is solely
determined and performed by the Merchant, and CityXpress has no role in such determination or action on
the part of the Merchant.
- Vouchers for Merchants that are restaurants cannot be used for taxes, tips or prior balances.
- Vouchers for Merchants that are restaurants are valid only for in-restaurant dining unless otherwise agreed by the Merchant.
- The issuing of restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the Merchants that are restaurants unless otherwise required
by applicable law.
- All Vouchers will be subject to any and all terms printed on such Vouchers.
- No Voucher may be used until the day after the Premier Deal in which it is purchased.
- These conditions are void to the extent prohibited by law.
The Merchant are the sellers of the goods or services which you are purchasing.
As a holder and issuer of a Voucher, the Merchant will 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,
as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers or
portions thereof. You waive, and release CityXpress 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 in connection with a Voucher 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
Vouchers or any portion thereof.
Each Voucher has two separate parts: (1) the "Purchase Value" which is the amount
you paid for the Voucher; and (2) the "Voucher Value" which is the amount you may
redeem the Voucher for, as printed below the title on the Voucher.
The difference between the Purchase Value and the Voucher Value is called the "Promotional Value".
While the expiration date on the Voucher dictates the last date that you can
use your Voucher at Merchant to receive the Promotional Value of the Voucher
(unless expiration of the Promotional Value is prohibited by applicable law in
your jurisdiction), the Purchase Value does not expire until it is used or refunded.
The Promotional Value expires on the date printed on the Voucher (unless expiration
of the Promotional Value is prohibited by applicable law in your jurisdiction).
For example, if you paid $25 for a $60 Voucher, the Voucher Value is $60; the
Purchase Value is $25 and it does not expire until it is used or refunded; and
the Promotional Value is $35 and it expires on the date printed on the Voucher
(unless expiration of the Promotional Value is prohibited by applicable law in your jurisdiction).
Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and
may not be redeemed incrementally. Where partial redemptions are required by law,
redemptions shall be administered as follows: if you redeem a Voucher for less than
the Voucher Value you will only be entitled to a credit or cash from the Merchant
equal to the difference between the Voucher Value and the amount you redeemed.
Further, you will only be entitled to a continuing redemption value as noted above
if the amount that you paid for the Voucher exceeds the amount you redeemed.
For example, if you paid $20 for a Voucher which entitles you to purchase $50 of
product by February 1, 2010 and you make a purchase for $40 on January 30, 2010,
you will only be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the
$50 Voucher Value and the amount you redeemed from the Merchant (i.e. $10).
The Merchant, in signing the agreement to sell the Voucher on CityXpress,
has agreed to these terms and must honour the Purchase Value unless applicable law states otherwise.
Should the merchant be unable to provide the services or goods purchased on
this order because of business failure, or is unwilling to redeem a Voucher that
has not expired according to the conditions and limitations printed on the
voucher, please contact CityXpress at service@cityxpress.com
and CityXpress Ltd. shall credit in full the Purchase Value for any unredeemed voucher(s) to the
credit card you used for this transaction within thirty (30) days of your request.
