Terms of Service

Thank you (“you” or “User”) for your interest in the Downtown mobile device application (the “App”) operated by GoodTime Labs, Inc. (“GoodTime Labs”), a Delaware corporation.  This User Agreement (this “Agreement”), including the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 16 and 17 below[JF1] , applies to your use of the App.  The App allows you to browse and purchase products from local merchants (“Merchants”).      
           
BEFORE USING THE APP, PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.  BY CLICKING ON “ACCEPT”, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN PLEASE DO NOT  CLICK “ACCEPT,” IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE APP. 

NOTE TO KIDS UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE:  THE APP IS NOT FOR PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 13.  IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE APP.

Users have the ability to browse and purchase the products of local merchants (“Merchants”) listed on the App (“Product(s)”) after creating a user account  (“Account”) in the App.  The list of products available for you to browse will be based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, location from which you access the App, prior Products viewed and purchased, Merchants that you chat with and products popular with other Users in your area. You can purchase Products directly through the App by selecting the Product and providing your credit card information.

Return policies vary depending on the merchant’s policies.

To use the App, Users must create an Account by providing the following information: (i) name, (ii) billing address, (iii) e-mail, (iv) phone (optional) and (v) a user name and password.

You will be responsible for all charges and other activities that occur under your account, and you agree to keep your Account login information confidential.  You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your mobile device, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.  If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss or theft of your mobile device), you agree to immediately notify GoodTime Labs.  You may be liable for the losses incurred by GoodTime Labs or others due to any unauthorized use of your account.

Your Account is for your use only.  You agree not to share your user name and password or otherwise permit any other person to access or use your Account.

Payment will be due at the time a Product is purchased.  All payments are made by credit card and are processed by our third party payment provider, as further detailed in the Privacy Policy.  By purchasing a Product on the App, you hereby authorize Goodtime to charge the provided payment instrument for the product price, applicable taxes, any delivery charge and any other charges you may incur in connection with such product that are described in this Agreement.  All payments are payable in U.S. dollars.  Prices displayed to you are exclusive of any sales or taxes that may be due in connection with such prices, and you agree to pay any such taxes that may be due, other than taxes based on GoodTime Labs’s net income.  You also agree to pay GoodTime Labs any costs and expenses incurred by GoodTime Labs, including reasonable attorneys fees, in recovering any overdue but unpaid amounts due hereunder.

All merchants being listed in the App have the possibility of refunding an order.

Merchants may allow GoodTime Labs to install proximity detection devices in their store(s) (the “Device”).  When your mobile device has the App running and is within range of the Device, you will receive push notifications that tell you, among other things: (i) promotions and discounts on certain Products, (ii) Products that you have previously browsed that are available in Merchant’s store and (iii) Merchant’s most frequently purchased Products.  You may opt-out of receiving push notifications through the settings on your Account and mobile device.

Merchants determine what content is distributed through push notifications triggered by the Device.  You acknowledge and agree that GoodTime Labs has no obligation to review the push notification content and hereby waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against GoodTime Labs with respect thereto.

After purchasing a Product, you will be prompted to share the purchase on your Facebook.  Should you choose to share your purchase, you will be redirected outside of the App and asked to log into your Facebook account.  Upon being redirected from the App, you are subject to Facebook’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.

GoodTime Labs may make modifications, deletions and/or additions to this Agreement (“Changes”) at any time.  Changes will be effective: (i) thirty (30) days after GoodTime Labs provides notice of the Changes, whether such notice is provided through the App user interface, is sent to the e-mail address associated with your account or otherwise; or (ii) when you opt-in or otherwise expressly agree to the Changes or a version of this Agreement incorporating the Changes, whichever comes first.
