In connection with the foregoing release, End User hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction) which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Without limiting the foregoing, iDealgasm shall have the right to immediately terminate or suspend any passwords or accounts of End User in the event of any conduct by End User or which iDealgasm, in its sole discretion, considers to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by End User of this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12 will survive termination of this Agreement."
14. Third-Party Content
iDealgasm, similar to an Internet Service Provider, is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties and End Users. Accordingly, iDealgasm has no more editorial control over such content than does a public library, bookstore or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers, or any other end users are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of iDealgasm.
In many instances, the content available through this Site represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, end user, or other user not under contract with iDealgasm. iDealgasm neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made on iDealgasm by anyone other than authorized iDealgasm employee spokespersons while acting in official capacities. Under no circumstances will iDealgasm be liable for any loss or damage caused by an end user’s reliance on information obtained through iDealgasm. It is the responsibility of End User to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice, etc., or other content available through iDealgasm.
iDealgasm contains links to third-party websites maintained by other content providers. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by iDealgasm of the contents on such third-party sites, and iDealgasm hereby expressly disclaims any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. If End User decides to access linked third-party websites, End User does so at its own risk. Unless you have executed a written agreement with iDealgasm expressly permitting you to do so, you may not provide a hyperlink to the Site or any Microsite from any other website. iDealgasm reserves the right to revoke its consent to any link at any time in its sole discretion.
15. Miscellaneous
This Agreement, including the Terms of Sale set forth below (which are incorporated into this Agreement), and any operating rules for iDealgasm established by iDealgasm, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder is a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall be of no legal force or effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions contained in this Agreement, and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

16. Arbitration
By using this Site, End User agrees that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy End User may have against iDealgasm arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, this Site, or any Microsite, or the purchase or sale of any Voucher(s), 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"); (2) 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 End User), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by End User and iDealgasm; (3) the arbitrator shall apply Pennsylvania law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (4) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only the End User’s and/or iDealgasm’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (5) in the event that the End User is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, iDealgasm will pay as much of the End User’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (6) with the exception of subpart (4) 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. If, however, subpart (4) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither End User nor iDealgasm shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on AAA and its Rules and Procedures, End Users may visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.
II.TERMS OF SALE
All vouchers printed from the Site or any Microsite, or any other website associated with iDealgasm (hereinafter "Vouchers") are promotional vouchers that may be purchased from participating Vendors ("Vendors") through iDealgasm to be used in exchange for goods and services at a discount from their actual cost. By placing an order for a Voucher from a Vendor through iDealgasm, you make an offer to purchase the Vouchers you have selected on the terms and conditions stated below. For more information about our collection of personal information, please view our Privacy Policy. You are required to create an account in order to purchase any Voucher. This is required so we can provide you with easy access to print your orders, view your past purchases, modify your preferences, and to ensure permissible use of the Voucher.
The Voucher you purchase through iDealgasm is redeemable for goods or services by the Vendor. The Vendor, not iDealgasm, is the seller of the Voucher and the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase. iDealgasm sells a Voucher that can be redeemed in connection with your purchase of the goods or services from Vendor.
1. Terms and Conditions for Venue-Specific Vouchers
For this section, "Venues" shall be defined as a Vendor who offers food and beverage for sale in its regular business operations, and is making such food and beverages available to purchasers of Vouchers.
2. Terms and Conditions for Non-Restaurant Vendor Vouchers
3. Additional Terms and Conditions for All iDealgasm Vouchers
All Vouchers shall be subject to the terms and conditions of iDealgasm and the participating Restaurant or Vendor. The Vendor or Venue are the sellers of the goods or services which you are purchasing.
The holder and issuer of a Venue-Specific Voucher is the Venue. The holder and issuer of a Vendor Voucher is the Vendor. As a holder and issuer of the Voucher, the Venue or Vendor 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 Restaurant or the Vendor, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers or portions thereof. You waive, and release iDealgasm and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, any claim, liabilities, damages, or injury arising from or related to any act or omission of Vendor or Restaurant in connection with a Voucher or the services/goods provided in connection therewith and/or as it relates to compliance with applicable unclaimed property and other laws relating to the redemption of the Vouchers or any portion thereof. Venue-Specific Vouchers and Vendor Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and may not be redeemed incrementally.
According to applicable law, the Vendor may be responsible for allowing you to redeem your Voucher for the cash value based on the money you actually paid for your Voucher (i.e. if you paid $20 for a Voucher which gives you $50 of value to the Vendor, the cash value that you paid is $20, not $50), for a period of time that extends beyond the expiration date on the Voucher. While the expiration date on the Voucher dictates the last date that you can use your Voucher at Vendor for the promotional offer stated on the iDealgasm, applicable law may provide that the Vendor is responsible for honoring the cash value that you paid for your Voucher for a period of time beyond the expiration date stated on the Voucher. In other words, you should be allowed to redeem the cash value (or purchase price) of your Voucher up until the greater of: (1) the Voucher’s expiration date; or (2) the minimum length of time allowed by applicable law for a Voucher to expire. In the event that you have an expired Voucher and would like to redeem it for the price you paid to acquire it, please contact the Vendor. Once again, the Vendor should allow such redemption if applicable law requires it, and we have instructed the Vendor to do so. If you have gone to the Vendor and the Vendor has refused to redeem the cash value of your expired Voucher, and if applicable law entitles you to such redemption, then please contact iDealgasm [and explain your situation in writing] and iDealgasm will refund the purchase price of the Voucher in either U.S. Dollars or credit for purchases of future Vouchers from iDealgasm
4. Refund Policy
If a Vendor or venue refuses to honor any Voucher, iDealgasm will refund the amount paid upon request in the original form of payment, or will credit the iDealgasm account of the purchaser with an equivalent number of "gasm bucks" for future purchases on the Site. gasm bucks do not expire. Need a refund or have a question? Email iDealgasm at or call 1 (800) 978-0642 (Monday through Friday, 9-5 eastern time). Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized reproduction, resale, modification or trade of vouchers is prohibited.
