3. Product and Price Description

Huddlebuy is a website for the residents of United Kingdom where we work with our community to find discount deals that are appealing to our customers, and we use our bulk buying capability to provide significant discounts to our customers.  

The discount is off of the retail value offered by the Merchant, both of which are determined by the Merchant. Huddlebuy may further discount the customer, upon agreement with the Merchant.

Discount value is intended to be above 25% off the retail value, however such determination will be made in agreement with the Merchant.

Examples of products or services promoted on Website could include discount deals for mobile, energy, serviced offices, packaged software/SaaS, IT Support and so on.

Featured products or services are carefully selected by the Sales and the management teams and are based on the customer behaviour, community, and business decisions.

The offer can only be valid if it reaches or exceeds the activation point. For example: if a deal may require a minimum of 10 buyers in order for the deal to be valid and activated. Such determination is made in agreement with the Merchant. If a deal does not activate, customers are not charged and are notified.

In some instances, Merchants may specify the maximum number of deals they want to promote. In such cases, Website will specify the maximum number, through creative write-ups.

Huddlebuy will try to feature a new deal regularly, depending on the customer behaviour and Merchant agreements. Each deal may be live on the website from 1 day to a week. Deals validity timeframe is determined in agreement with the Merchant. 

4. Voucher Redemption

The Voucher you purchase via the Service is redeemable for the goods and/or services of a specific Merchant. You acknowledge and accept that the Merchant, not Huddlebuy, is the seller of the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase.

Your usage of Vouchers purchased by you via the Service shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Terms and Conditions for All Merchant Vouchers

All Vouchers printed from the Website or any website associated with Huddlebuy are promotional Vouchers that are offered to you below their face value and are subject to the terms and conditions of Huddlebuy and the participating Merchant.

This Agreement incorporates by reference the legal terms and conditions set forth on the face of each Voucher and also the legal terms and conditions set forth on the face of the offer. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement and any terms and conditions set forth on either the face of the offer or on

the Voucher itself, the express terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

The holder and issuer of a Merchant Voucher is the Merchant. As a holder and issuer of the Voucher, the Merchant is fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect you, whether caused in whole or in part by the Merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers. Merchant Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety only and may not be redeemed incrementally.

The issuing of credit is at the sole discretion of the Merchant unless otherwise required by law.

Neither the Huddlebuy nor the Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or a Voucher's reference number.

Reproduction, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with the law.

Any attempted redemption not consistent with these terms and conditions will render the Voucher null and void.

Void to the extent prohibited by law.

The Voucher offer (including, but not limited to, any discounts) expires on the date specified on the Voucher, except that the Merchant may continue to redeem the unused cash amount you paid for the Voucher (which is usually less than the original face value of the Voucher) to the extent required by applicable law.

If you redeem the Voucher for less than its face value, you will not be entitled to a credit, cash or a new Voucher equal to the difference between the face value and the amount you redeemed, unless otherwise required by law. 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 £25 for a Voucher which entitles you to purchase £60 of product by Feb 1st, 2011 and you make a purchase for £40 on May 31, 2011, you will not be entitled to a credit or cash equal to the difference between the £60 face value and the amount you redeemed. You will not have any redemption value either because the amount you redeemed is more than what you paid for the Voucher.

The Merchant is responsible for allowing you to redeem your Voucher for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your Voucher (i.e. if you paid £25 for a Voucher which gives you £60 of value to the Merchant, the cash value that you paid is £25, not £60), for a period of time that may extend beyond the expiration date on the Voucher.

Voucher may be applied only to merchandise sold by Merchant, and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges.

Vouchers cannot be combined with any other gift certificates, third party certificates, Vouchers, or promotions, unless otherwise specified by Merchant.

5. Voucher Delivery

Huddlebuy will deliver the Vouchers purchased in one of combination of the following methods:

Mail the Vouchers via post at the customer mailing address provided at the time of the purchase of the Voucher on Website. Any such delivery mechanism will be specified during the purchase on Website.

Phone redemption where Huddlebuy will present a specific code and telephone number to the customer to redeem the Voucher. Any such delivery mechanism will be specified during the purchase on Website.

Email the Voucher and a unique link to the customer email address provided at the time of the purchase of the Voucher on Website. If the delivery mechanism stated in parts ‘i’ and ‘ii’ is not specified, it should be understood that Vouchers will be emailed, with a specific link to a static html page. 

All Vouchers will have a unique identification number, with the exception of Vouchers delivered through methods specified in parts ‘i’ and ‘ii’. Authentication and uniqueness of the Vouchers in such section will be based on the type of service being purchased, and Merchant preference. 

6. Refunds

All refund requests should be assessed for appropriateness, validity and relevance in order to ensure that it is from a legitimate customer that has successfully paid for the Voucher in question.

Refund requests must be made by a legitimate customer who has successfully paid for the Voucher. Inquiries should be sent to support[at]huddlebuy.co.uk .

All requests should be reviewed to ensure funds have been captured for the respective customer. Refund value should be 100% of the funds captured, and should not exceed the amount captured by Huddlebuy. In instances where the customer has requested partial refund, only the specified refund value should be processed.

Huddlebuy will assess the customer request and if deemed appropriate will process customer refund requests under the following circumstances.

Customer was unsatisfied with the product or service featured and purchased on Huddlebuy; and has requested a refund within 7 day cooling off period from the time the customer receives the Voucher from Huddlebuy.

Customer claims a refund more than 30-days after the coupon use date.

Customer claims a refund for a coupon that has expired.
