City Deals Terms and Conditions

CityDeals provides consumers with opportunities to purchase products and services from third party merchants ("Merchants") at a discount (a "Deal"). Merchants are willing to offer attractive promotional discounts in order to reach the CityDeals community.

  1. How it Works

    By placing an order for a given Deal, you make an offer to purchase the Deal you have selected on the terms, restrictions and conditions associated with the Deal. Once you’ve placed your order, you will receive a confirmation of the Deal and you will be required to pay for the amount of the Deal via available payment options. We will notify you by email when the the Deal is ready to be used. You are required to create an account in order to purchase any Deal. An account is required so we can collect information to allow you to pay for your Deals and provide you with easy access to print your Deals, view your past purchases, and modify your preferences.
  2. Deal Cancellation

    Deals success or failure are dependent upon the total number of purchases made by community members throughout the duration of the sale event, which is stated clearly before you purchase. If a deal is under subscribed, refunds will be issued to all members who paid, based on the terms stated at time of purchase.
  3. Deal Specific Terms

    Each Deal has specific terms associated with the Deal, which will be presented to you at the time you commit to purchase the particular Deal. Deal specific terms supersede any inconsistent terms in this Agreement, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law.
  4. Merchant Responsibility

    To be clear, 234world, via its brand CityDeals markets the Deals and acts as an agent in selling the Deals on behalf of the Merchants. But the Merchant is the issuer of the Deal Item. As issuer of the Deal Item, the Merchant shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect of a customer, caused in whole or in part by the Merchant or its products and services, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed or partially redeemed deals. By purchasing a Deal, a customer acquires the right to print a deal receipt issued by CityDeals on behalf of participating Merchant and to use the Deal according to its terms and the terms of this Agreement. Whether you choose to print and/or redeem the Deal is within your sole control and at your sole discretion.
