Section 2. Our Services.

Our Services are focused on providing you with access to offers from participating venues to buy gift certificates now for the use of such venues later, all at an attractive price. The concept is simple… if you decide to buy a gift certificate from a participating venue, your gift certificate will increase in its redemption value over a period of time, as stated in each particular venue’s offer (as available on buynowstaylater.com). If you do enter into a transaction with a participating venue, it is important to note that the entirety of the transaction is between you and that venue, including the offer, use and redemption of the gift certificate, as well as all financial transactions consummated by you and such venue to purchase the gift certificate. BNSL does not directly offer these gift certificates or process your payment information when you elect to make a purchase. We disclaim any and all liability and responsibility with respect to the transaction, including the later redemption of the gift certificates. Unless otherwise stated in the offer available through our Services, all gift certificates purchased will be at a stated price that, after sixty (60) days is available for a redemption at a higher dollar amount than that which you paid. Unless we tell you otherwise, all of these Services are provided to you for free. As noted above, we do not provide the gift certificates purchased through our site, we are not responsible for the fulfillment of those gift certificates or for the provision of the goods or services you choose to purchase when redeeming your gift certificate. If you make a purchase, you understand and agree that the terms and conditions of the individual venue (the “Venue Terms”) shall control in all respects with respect to the purchase and use of such gift certificates. In some cases, we may present those Venue Terms to you embedded within our Services at the time of your purchase and in other cases we will not. In any case, you understand and agree that we are in no way, shape or form responsible for or liable to you with respect to any of the gift certificates and any services and/or products you may purchase in connection with your use of any gift certificates you purchase through our Services, including any product liability claims, delivery issues, pricing errors, improper or inaccurate product descriptions or improper charges made by the participating venue. By making a purchase using our Services, you agree to pay the price noted for such products, as well as any taxes and shipping/handling charges that may be presented to you at the time of making the purchase.
