Your Vendor Account will facilitate your use of various DealNinja services and will allow you to provide and receive current and accurate, contact and other information pertaining to your relationship with us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Vendor Account password, and are responsible for all activities that occur under such account. You agree to immediately notify DealNinja of any unauthorized use of your password or Vendor Account or any other breach of security related to the DealNinja Site.

When using your Vendor Account and the DealNinja Site directly, or indirectly via an authorized agent, to submit and manage other deals, you accept and comply with certain terms and conditions applicable to Vendors. DealNinja may offer certain optional features or functionalities within your Vendor Account. If you choose to use such features, then you may be required to agree to separate terms that are specific to those features that will be disclosed and available at the time you elect any such option. You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and have full power, capacity and authority to accept these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to these Terms. If you don’t have the legal authority to bind your entity, please ensure that only an authorized person from your organization consents to, and accepts, these Terms.
2.2 Vendor Profile.

Within the redemption section of your Vendor Account, you may also submit voucher redemption data for your Offers and download lists of deal codes. You may also review analytics and statistics for your Offers.

3.1 Creation of Offers. By participating in a Program, you shall define the conditions of, and may supply the content and images to describe and illustrate, your Offer and its terms, by completing and submitting, or authorizing an agent to complete and submit, a DR through your Vendor Account. Submission of a DR does not obligate DealNinja to accept the DR or any of its contents nor to promote the Offer, and is not binding on DealNinja until DealNinja actually promotes the Offer on the DealNinja Site. At the point DealNinja begins to promote your Offer to the public, the Sales Period begins and the Offer becomes an “Active Offer” during such Sales Period(s) unless DealNinja earlier terminates the Offer for any or no reason. You are responsible and liable for all Offer content and terms, and for DealNinja’s or any purchaser’s use or reliance on any of the foregoing. In creating your Offer, you may not: (a) offer to sell any goods or services on terms or in a manner that is prohibited by law from being offered or advertised; (b) include any content that violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others; or (c) include any material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable, which encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any Law.\n\ 3.2 Promotion of Offers. If DealNinja accepts your DR, DealNinja may promote the Offer using any method and through any medium that DealNinja deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including through e-mail, mobile applications and any other type of electronic interface or distribution channel owned, affiliated, controlled or operated by or through DealNinja. DealNinja further reserves the right, but has no obligation, to promote the Offer through its affiliates and third party business partners from time to time. DealNinja will promote your Offer to DealNinja customers and potential customers based on geographic or other geolocational data, but will determine the customers and potential customers to whom your Offer is actually promoted and made available in its sole discretion. If you indicate specific limits or maximums with respect to the number or type of vouchers that may be offered through an Offer in the DR, DealNinja will use all commercially reasonable efforts to stop promoting your Offer accordingly.
3.3 Distribution of Vouchers. Once DealNinja has received payment from a purchaser of the amount paid, DealNinja will authorize for use, and make a voucher available to, the purchaser of your Offer (or will distribute it to a designated transferee on behalf of the purchaser, if any is designated at the time of purchase). The vouchers will include any restrictions or limitations on the use of the voucher you have specified in the DR. Purchasers, or their authorized transferees, may then redeem the Offer by presenting their Vouchers to you as printed certificates, through their mobile devices, or any other media that DealNinja has adopted for voucher redemption.
3.4 Responsibility for Offer and Vouchers. You acknowledge that you are the exclusive seller of your Offer and the issuer of the vouchers. You also are responsible and liable for: (a) the decision to make your Offer available through the DealNinja services; (b) fulfilling your Offer with respect to all voucher holders; and (c) supplying all goods and/or services specified in the Offer.
3.5 Redemption Obligations. You shall comply with your obligations specified in these Terms, the DR and other obligations regarding the use of your Vendor Account. In addition, when redeeming vouchers, you shall: (a) honor the vouchers during the time period specified on, pursuant to the terms of, your Offer, and as required under applicable law(s); (b) handle all customer service in connection with the redemption and use of the vouchers; (c) honor any voucher presented by an individual, even if that individual was not the purchaser, unless (i) otherwise specified in the Fine Print (as defined below) or otherwise stated prominently on the face of the voucher or, (ii) you reasonably believe that individual obtained the voucher in an unauthorized or illegal manner, in which case you shall immediately contact DealNinja and explain the circumstances; and (d) comply with the terms and conditions stated on the voucher without modification and without imposing any restrictions or additional charges or penalties that are not expressly stated on the voucher. You shall specify all generally applicable policies (e.g., cancellation policies that apply to all customers), restrictions and contractual arrangements (e.g., liability waivers required for all customers) applicable to the Offer (“Fine Print”) in the DR, and DealNinja shall have no liability for the nature of your Fine Print or your failure to specify appropriate Fine Print.
3.6 Other Programs; Expiration & Redemption. DealNinja does not currently offer other Programs but if and as it does, these Terms will be updated accordingly.
3.7 Your Third Party Vendors. You may subcontract or delegate portions of your performances required by these Terms with respect to a particular Offer to a third party (each, a “Third Party Vendor”). If you subcontract or delegate to Third Party Vendors with respect to fulfilling such Offer, you will remain solely responsible and liable for (a) all your obligations, including financial obligations, under these Terms and (b) all acts and omissions of your Third Party Vendors. You shall require your Third Party Vendors to comply with all applicable restrictions and obligations imposed on you under these Terms, and you will be solely responsible for your financial and contractual relationship with your Third Party Vendors.
3.8 License to Your Content. You hereby grant DealNinja a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual and sub-licensable license to use, copy, distribute, display and perform any trademarks, photographs, graphics, artwork, videos, sound clips, text, and other content or materials that you provide to DealNinja in your Vendor Account or otherwise use to describe your Offer (“your Content”) in any and all media or formats in connection with DealNinja’s fulfillment of its rights and obligations under these Terms, including the promotion of Offers and distribution of vouchers.
3.9 Acknowledgement of Strategic Sales Activity. Unless you specifically notify DealNinja in writing otherwise, DealNinja may make your Offer available on the DealNinja Site during a Sales Period for an amount paid that is less than the amount paid you establish in your DR. If DealNinja elects to promote your Offer to customers at any price that is less than the price you established, DealNinja will: (i) calculate the Now! Aggregate Net Amount using the value established by you; (ii) only promote a certain number of units at that reduced price, (iii) in no case make more than any maximum number of units available, and (iv) not make your Offer available on the DealNinja Site at two different prices at the same time.
3.10 Press Release. DealNinja may, in its sole discretion, include you in any press release regarding the Offers described herein or identify you as a Vendor.
Section 4: PAYMENT TERMS
Payment terms governing your Offer are as set forth below, unless you have a separate written agreement with DealNinja expressly modifying the terms of your payment under a particular Program. Payment terms for any non-Program Offers are contained in the applicable contract you entered with DealNinja by accepting the terms and conditions governing your Vendor Account or otherwise. For each DealNinja voucher that is viewed in a mobile format or printed and not refunded by DealNinja following the expiration of the applicable deal’s promotional value expiration and prior to payment to you by DealNinja (each, a “Now Validated Redemption”), you will be paid an amount equal to: the amount paid, less a per-voucher promotion and distribution fee, established on an Offer-by-Offer basis as a percentage of the Full Offer Value (such amount, the “Now Remittance Amount”). Unauthorized Redemptions will not be considered Now Validated Redemptions. DealNinja will pay you the Now Remittance Amount for all then-Now Validated Redemptions (the “Now Aggregate Net Amount”). DealNinja will establish the Now Aggregate Net Amount due for a particular deal following the applicable deals’ promotional expiration, and will arrange for payment of for any Now Aggregate Net Amounts due in such form and on such a schedule as will be communicated at the time the DR is established.

Section 12: BINDING ARBITRATION
12.1 Binding Arbitration. The Parties hereby agree that (a) these Terms and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Offer, or the DR shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”); (b) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and DealNinja; (c) the arbitrator shall apply Illinois Law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (d) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration will decide only your and/or DealNinja’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (e) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, DealNinja will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (f) with the exception of subpart (d) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
