  8. 8. Terms of Sale of Promotional Vouchers

    General Information

    This Site offers e-commerce transaction services involving our offer for sale of vouchers ("Vouchers"). The Vouchers offered on our Site are promotional vouchers that may be purchased through Total Beauty from participating beauty products or services brands (each, a "Brand Partner") to be used in exchange for goods/services at a discount from their actual cost. Our Brand Partners make these attractive promotional offers because they desire to reach our community of users, and they are willing to offer you significant discounts on their products or services to help build consumer awareness and trials for their products or services. Total Beauty markets these promotional offers and acts as an agent in selling the Vouchers on behalf of the participating Brand Partners; however, the participating Brand Partner is the seller and issuer of the Vouchers and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase on our Site. A Voucher you purchase through our Site is redeemable for the products or services of the participating Brand Partner on the web site where it markets and sells its products or services.

    When you place an order for a Voucher from a Brand Partner through our Site, you are making an offer to purchase the Voucher subject to the terms and conditions below, as well as the particular terms, restrictions and conditions associated with that participating Brand Partner's promotional offer. The particular terms of a participating Brand Partner's promotional offer will supersede any inconsistent terms in these Terms of Use, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law. Your purchase of products or services at the site of a participating Brand Partner will be subject to the terms of use of that participating Brand Partner's web site.

    To purchase any Voucher, you must have an account with us so we can collect information to allow you to pay for your Vouchers and provide you with access to your Vouchers, view past purchases, and modify your preferences. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to be eligible to use the portion of our Site devoted to the offer of Vouchers and to purchase Vouchers. By using that portion of our Site and purchasing Vouchers, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract.

    Our Brand Partners typically require a minimum threshold number of Vouchers to be sold before the promotional offer subject to those Vouchers becomes live. If that threshold has not been met at the time you place an order for a Voucher, you will receive a confirmation of your order by email and we will pre-approve your credit card. Then, at such time as the minimum threshold is met, your credit card will be charged for the purchase price of the Voucher, we will notify you by email that your purchase has been processed, and we will deliver the Voucher you purchased electronically. If the threshold has already been met at the time you place an order for a Voucher, you will receive a confirmation of your order and purchase by email, your credit card will be charged for the purchase price of the Voucher, and we will deliver the Voucher you purchased electronically. The participating Brand Partner has agreed to permit you to redeem your Voucher immediately following its delivery to you. Should the minimum threshold for a promotional offer never be met, we will not charge your credit card, no Voucher will be issued for that particular promotional offer, and we will notify you of the termination of that promotional offer.

    We collect and share certain personal information about you in the course of processing your purchase of Vouchers through our Site. For more information about our collection, use and sharing of your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.

    Terms and Conditions

    • Limit one (1) Voucher per redemption. Only one Voucher can be used per order unless otherwise specified by Brand Partner.
    • Vouchers may be applied only to products or services sold by the participating Brand Partner, and may not be applied to shipping or handling charges or taxes.
    • The purchase price you pay for a Voucher does not include sales and other taxes which may be charged to you separately by the participating Brand Partner at the time you redeem your Voucher.
    • The issuing of credit in a partial redemption is at the sole discretion of the Brand Partner unless otherwise required by law.
    • Neither Total Beauty nor the Brand Partner is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers.
    • Vouchers cannot be combined with any other vouchers, third party certificates, coupons, or promotions, unless otherwise specified in the Voucher.
    • Reproduction, sale or trade of a Voucher is prohibited unless done so in compliance with applicable law.
    • Any attempted redemption not consistent with (1) these terms and conditions and (2) the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the promotional offer by the participating Brand for the Voucher will render the Voucher null and void.
    • There shall be no cash value for any Voucher, except as provided in these Terms of Use and/or as may be required by applicable law.
    • Void to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

    The value of a Voucher consists of: (i) the amount equal to the purchase price of the Voucher (i.e. the amount for which your credit card is charged) (the "Cash Value"), and (ii) an additional bonus amount (the "Promotion Amount") consisting of the difference between the face value of the Voucher its Cash Value (e.g. the total value of products or services for which that Voucher may be redeemed from a Participating Brand). For example, if you purchase for $30 a Voucher entitling you to purchase $50 worth of products or services, the Cash Value is equal to $30 and the Promotion Amount is $20.

    Applicable law may affect how and when you are entitled to redeem a Voucher. Generally, Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and may not be redeemed incrementally. However, where permitted by the participating Brand and/or where legally required, you may be entitled to redeem a Voucher for less than its face value. If you redeem a Voucher for less than face value, your purchase shall first be applied to its Cash Value (until that amount is fully depleted) and second to the Promotion Amount that remains. If required by law, your partial redemption of a Voucher may entitle you to a credit or cash in an amount equal to the difference between the face value of a Voucher and the amount you redeemed from the participating Brand. For instance if you purchase for $30 a Voucher entitling you to purchase $50 worth of products or services before or on April 1, 2011, and you redeem that Voucher for $45 on March 25, 2011, you will only be entitled to a credit in the amount of $5, if required by law, which you would need to redeem on or prior to the April 1, 2011 expiration date.

    Our participating Brand Partners typically include an expiration date on their Vouchers, and that expiration date dictates the termination of the discounted promotional offer applicable to a Voucher. However, a Brand Partner may be legally required to allow you to redeem the Cash Value of a Voucher (but not the Promotion Amount) beyond the stated expiration date of that Voucher. Thus, where legally required, you may be allowed to redeem a Voucher for its Cash Value (but not the Promotion Amount) until the later of: (i) the expiration date associated with that Voucher; and (ii) the minimum length of time prescribed by applicable law before a Voucher may expire. In the example set forth in the immediately prior paragraph, there would be no remaining Cash Value because the amount redeemed for the Voucher exceeded the Cash Value of that Voucher (redeemed amounts are applied against the Cash Value of a Voucher first and second to the Promotion Amount). However, if the Voucher holder in that example failed entirely to redeem the Voucher by April 1, 2011, the holder would be entitled to redeem the Voucher from the participating Brand Partner for its Cash Value (e.g. $30) (but not the additional $20 Promotion Amount) beyond April 1, 2011 for as long as applicable law requires.

    You may obtain a refund from us for the Cash Value (purchase price) of a Voucher within forty-eight (48) hours of your purchase so long as you have not redeemed the Voucher in whole or in part. After forty-eight hours, we do not provide refunds unless you are unable to redeem a Voucher before the expiration date of a Voucher because the participating Brand Partner has gone out of business or unless there is something wrong with your Voucher Purchase. In the latter case, we will consider your refund request on a case-by-case basis and work to keep you happy. If you hold an expired Voucher and wish to obtain a refund for the purchase price (Cash Value) of that Voucher, you should contact the participating Brand Partner that issued such Voucher and request a refund. If that Brand Partner is unwilling to offer you a refund for the Cash Value of the Voucher after such request and is legally required to do so, then please contact us and submit a written explanation of these circumstances and Total Beauty will issue you a refund of the Cash Value of your Voucher. We will make every effort to process a refund as soon as possible, but in any case within 30 days of the day on which we notify you that we have accepted your refund request. Total Beauty will issue you a refund via the same method used to purchase the Voucher originally.
