8. Terms of Sale

The "Merchant" is a third-party issuer of the Voucher and, is solely responsible for redeeming the Voucher. Unless otherwise indicated in a Package or other offer, Wend is solely the marketer of the Merchant’s goods or services, and may from time to time engage third parties or affiliates to administer Voucher management on behalf of Merchants. By purchasing or obtaining any Merchant Offering or Product via the Site, you agree to the following Terms of Sale:

  • In General

    Descriptions of the Merchant's offerings advertised on the Site are provided by the Merchant or other referenced third parties. Wend does not investigate or vet Merchants, and Wend is not responsible for any performance or quality claims associated with the description of the Merchant Offerings.

    A Merchant may advertise goods, services or experiences on the Site that require Merchant to have an up-to-date regulatory authorization, license, or certification. Wend does not verify, validate, or collect evidence of any regulatory authorization, license or certification from any Merchant. You should make whatever investigation you deem necessary or appropriate before purchasing any Merchant offering to determine whether: (i) Merchant is qualified to provide the advertised good or perform the advertised service; or (ii) the offering is about the care and quality required. The Merchant is solely responsible for the care and quality of the goods and services being provided.

    Wend is not a health or wellness provider and does not, will not and cannot refer, recommend or endorse any specific professional, services, products or procedures that are advertised on the Site. The Site is not a substitute for professional advice, including medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a health condition. Never neglect to seek out or delay or disregard professional advice relating to your health because of something you have read on the Site.

    Wend may, in its sole discretion, verify a user’s identity prior to processing a purchase. Wend may also refuse to process, or may cancel a purchase, as reasonably deemed necessary, to comply with applicable law or to respond to a case of misrepresentation, fraud or known or potential violations of the law or these Terms of Use. Refunds for cancelled orders may be issued where appropriate solely at the discretion of Wend.

    Wend does not guarantee that it offers best available rates or prices and does not guarantee against pricing errors. Wend reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not process or to cancel any orders placed, if the price was incorrectly posted on the Site. If this occurs, Wend will notify you by email. In addition, Wend reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to correct any error in the stated retail price of the Merchant offering. In certain instances, Merchant's offerings are combined into a set of merchant-specific Vouchers ("Package").

  • Vouchers

    "Vouchers" are redeemable for certain goods, services or experiences offered by, or facilitated through, the Merchant identified on the Voucher. The Merchant is solely responsible for redeeming the Voucher. Furthermore, the Merchant is fully and solely responsible for the care and quality of all goods and services it provides to you and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs ("Liabilities") it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of a Voucher or not. You waive and release Wend and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any Liabilities arising from or related to any act or omission of a Merchant in connection with your use of a Voucher or the goods, services or experiences a Merchant provides in connection with the Voucher.

    By purchasing, viewing a mobile version, printing, accepting, using or attempting to use any Voucher, you agree specifically to the terms on the Voucher, and any additional package-specific terms advertised in connection with and on the Voucher at the time of purchase (the "fine print" regardless of how labeled), the Terms of Use and these Terms of Sale. These rules apply to all Vouchers that we make available, unless a particular Voucher’s fine print states otherwise, and except as otherwise required by law. In the event of a conflict between these rules and a Voucher’s fine print, the Voucher’s fine print will control. Any attempt to redeem a Voucher in violation of these Terms of Use (including the Terms of Sale) will render the Voucher void.

    Most Vouchers combine two separate portions: (i) a paid portion equal to the amount you paid for the Voucher ("Paid Portion"); and (ii) at no additional charge to you, a time-sensitive promotional portion for the balance of the value of the Voucher if used by the promotional expiration date on the Voucher (the "Promotional Portion").

    The Merchant is the sole issuer of the Voucher. If a Merchant or venue refuses to honor any Voucher, Wend, in its sole discretion, may refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment or will credit the Wend account of the Wend purchaser with an equivalent number of Forge Funds. Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized or unlawful reproduction, resale, modification or trade of Vouchers is prohibited. Pricing relating to Merchant Offerings and Products on the Site may change at any time in Wend’s discretion, without notice.

    Unless otherwise stated on the Voucher or required by law, the following additional terms apply to all Vouchers

    • Vouchers must be redeemed in their entirety in one visit to a Merchant.
    • For vouchers that may be redeemed over several visits, purchases will be allocated first against the Paid Portion until there is a zero balance and then against the Promotional Portion that is remaining.
    • Vouchers are not redeemable for cash.
    • Use of a Voucher for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the Merchant in accordance with applicable law.
    • Vouchers cannot be combined with any other coupons or promotions.
    • Vouchers cannot be used for taxes, tips, prior balances and/or shipping or handling, as applicable.
    • Neither Wend nor the Merchant is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers or Voucher reference numbers.
    • Duplicate use, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited.
    • Unless otherwise stated in the Fine Print, the Voucher price does not include sales, value-added or use taxes, which may be charged to you separately by the Merchant at the time you redeem the Voucher.

    The Promotional Portion of the Voucher will always expire on the date printed on the Voucher. If the Merchant is in a state where it is permissible for the Paid Portion to expire, the Paid Portion of the Voucher will expire five (5) years from the date that the Voucher was issued. In some states, the law may require the Merchant to honor the Paid Portion of the Voucher beyond five years, in which case the Paid Portion of the Voucher will expire in accordance with the applicable law.

    Some Vouchers are redeemable for a ticket for admission to a specific ticketed event at a named venue "Wend Ticket Vouchers." Wend Ticket Vouchers have no value once the event date and time has passed. Unless otherwise stated, Wend Ticket Vouchers are refundable to the purchaser in the original form of payment ONLY: (i) upon request until midnight on the day of purchase, (ii) automatically if the event is canceled and not rescheduled, and (iii) upon request if the event is rescheduled.

Unless a specific exception is made, Wend Ticket Vouchers are not eligible for upgrades and are not transferable. Certain resale premiums and restrictions may apply. Wend Ticket Vouchers obtained from unauthorized sources may be lost, stolen or counterfeit, and if so are void.

    Some Vouchers are redeemable for a pass to a specific seasonal activity named "Wend Lift Ticket Vouchers". Wend Lift Ticket Vouchers have no value after the expiration date on the voucher has passed. All purchases are final and cannot be canceled, refunded, or transferred to another person, even with a fee. All tickets are subject to the restrictions described in the product description and/or pick-up instructions.

Once Wend confirms your Purchase, we will provide you access to an electronic voucher. You must print the voucher and present it at the ticket office/will call of the particular resort destination to claim your lift tickets. The Purchaser whose name appears on the voucher must redeem the ticket(s) in person with a valid photo ID. (do names appear on our vouchers?

    Venues and Events. Opening acts, as well as individual performers, are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice or recourse by you. Venues may search you as a condition of admission, ban or restrict certain items from being brought to the event and impose other rules on ticket-holders. You agree to all such rules and conditions and waive any related claims that may arise in conjunction with their imposition or execution. A ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused for violation of the venue’s rules without refund, or for any or no reason upon refunding the amount paid. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to any event for which any Wend Ticket Vouchers are issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against Wend, the venue, the issuer of the tickets and all of their respective affiliates, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor.

    Some Wend vouchers are for a specified length of stay and room type that may be booked for a pre-defined range of dates at a named Merchant property ("Wend Lodging Voucher"). The promotional value of a Wend Lodging Voucher will EXPIRE on the book by the date specified on the face of the Wend Lodging Voucher, unless prohibited by law. The promotional value cannot be combined with other offers. Travel must be booked by the book-by-date by directly contacting the Merchant, and all travel must be completed by the travel by date specified on the Wend Lodging Voucher. The amount paid WILL NEVER EXPIRE. After the promotional value has expired, the Merchant is responsible for permitting you to redeem the Wend Lodging Voucher for at least the amount paid. If the Merchant refuses to honor the Wend Lodging Voucher, Wend, in its sole discretion, will refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment, or will credit the Wend account of the purchaser with an equivalent number of Forge Funds for future purchases on the Site.

22. Choice of Law

23. Dispute Resolution

  • Binding Arbitration

    Except as specifically stated herein, any dispute or claim between you and Wend arising out of, or relating in any way to, the Terms of Use, the Site or your use of the Site, or any Products, Merchant Offerings or services offered or distributed through the Site ("Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration; except that you may bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court in Washoe County, Nevada. By virtue of this Agreement (defined below), you and Wend are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 24(a) or Section 24(d)). The provisions of this Section 24 shall constitute your and Wend’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act ("Agreement"). Any modification to this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by you and Wend. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award.

  • No Class Action Matters

    We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding or as an association. In addition, we each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.

  • Choice of Law and Forum; No Jury Trial

    If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court: (i) you agree that any such Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court in Washoe County, Nevada; (ii) you and Wend irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes; (iii) you and Wend agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, the AAA rules, applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, will govern this Agreement and any Disputes; and (iv) you and Wend agree to waive any right to a trial by jury.

  • Injunctive Relief

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or any conduct that violates Section 6 ("Your Conduct") of the Terms of Use.

  • Time Limitations

    If either of us wants to assert a Dispute against the other, the party with a Dispute must institute arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose. Absent commencing the arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose, the Dispute(s) will be forever barred.

  • Severability

    With the exception of Section 23.2 above, if any part of this Section 24 is ruled to be unenforceable, then the balance of this Section 23 shall remain in full effect and construed and enforced as if the portion ruled unenforceable were not contained herein.

24. Additional Disclosures

No waiver by either you or Wend of any breach or default or failure to exercise any right allowed under these Terms of Use is a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default or a waiver or forfeiture of any similar or future rights under our Terms of Use. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall be of no legal force or effect. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of our Agreement invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions contained in these Terms of Use, and the remaining portions of our Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
