  4. To the Discounts displayed on the Website additional conditions may apply. Such additional conditions are listed on the page of the relevant Advertiser on the Website.

Article 3 - Registration

  1. In order to make use of the Discount and other services/modules offered by 24/7 Discount, Member must voluntarily and for free register on the Website. Member chooses a username and password with which the Account (and thereby the Credit) can be managed. The registration and use of 24/7 Discount is free of charges. The Visitor is obliged to fill out the registration form truthfully. By registering, he declares to have done so. He thereby declares as well that he is authorised to make use of the Website and to act in accordance with the General Conditions.
  2. A username and password are personal and may not be provided to third parties. Username and password are not transferable.
  3. Member must keep the usernames and passwords secret. 24/7 Discount is not responsible for abuse of usernames and passwords and may assume that a Member logging in on the Website effectively is that Member. Member must inform 24/7 Discount if Member has a suspicion that the usernames and passwords have fallen into the hands of unauthorised parties. 24/7 Discount has the right to take effective measures in such cases.
  4. It is only permitted to Member to use one Account per person. The management of creation of multiple Accounts by Member is not permitted.
  5. After each turn of the year, the Account of the Member will be accessible on a subsequent domain that is relocated to.

Article 4 - Terms of use

  1. The Discount is offered by 24/7 Discount and not by the Advertiser. Member is shown an amount of money by 24/7 Discount in the Account following a successful Transaction. This Discount or the amount of money is not displayed in the order process of the Advertiser. The Discount is converted into an amount of money and following a successful Transaction added to the Account of Member as Credit. The Credit is inclusive of VAT.
  2. A Discount based on a percentage is essentially calculated over the amount of the order exclusive of VAT and shipping costs.
  3. A Discount is automatically attributed to the account of the Member. As soon as the Advertiser has approved the Transaction, the Discount is converted into Credit. Discount can change as soon as the content of the Transaction changes.
  4. An Advertiser can reject a Transaction if the Transaction is not entirely completed, with the result that the Discount is not converted into Credit.
  5. Member must visit the website of an Advertiser through a link that is shown on the website of 24/7 Discount. Without the link indicated by 24/7 Discount it is not possible for Member to receive a Discount. In addition, Member must be logged in on the Website of 24/7 Discount during the Transaction to receive a Discount. It is important that Member does not close the browser during the order process and doesn't surf to a different website. When Member surfs to different websites between the click-out from the Website to the Advertiser and the Transaction, 24/7 Discount may possibly be unable to add the Discount to the Account.
  6. Member must not deactivate cookies. The deactivation of cookies entails that Transactions cannot be registered by the Website and the Advertiser. In such case, the Discount cannot be attributed to the Account of the Member.
  7. If Member cancels the purchase through an Advertiser completely or partially or returns it, the Discount lapses (in that case, the Transaction is marked as 'rejected'). The afore-stated may happen both before and after disbursement of the Credit.
  8. A Discount is converted into Credit as soon as the Advertiser has approved the Transaction and has informed 24/7 Discount accordingly. 24/7 Discount has no influence whatsoever on the decision of the relevant Advertiser whether or not to designate the transaction as a successful transaction.
  9. The status of a Transaction is reported by an Advertiser to 24/7 Discount. 24/7 Discount assumes that this reporting is correct and excludes liability in case of incorrect reporting with regard to the Member. Member must take care himself of sufficient proof if the reporting of an Advertiser is incorrect. Member can present proof to 24/7 Discount in order to qualify for the Discount. 24/7 Discount will act in the interest of the Member within the limits of its possibilities.
  10. 24/7 Discount receives compensation from the Advertisers that are directly or indirectly associated with the Website. If an Advertiser does not comply with his payment obligations regarding these fees, no Credit is added to the account of Member.
  11. 24/7 Discount does not give Member any guarantee that the Discount can be used in combination with other savings or discount campaigns (for example discount campaigns of the Advertiser himself). 24/7 Discount does not accept any liability for the consequences that have arisen due to the rejection of a Transaction by an Advertiser on such basis, nor for any damage that has arisen as a result.
  12. Wherever the Discount is based on a currency other than the Euro, it is subject to the exchange rate at the time the transaction is designated by the Advertiser as 'approved'.
  13. If a Transaction is not listed on the account of Member within 48 hours after purchase, Member can submit a ticket to report the unregistered purchase. This must occur within 30 days after purchase. 24/7 Discount will exert itself to find out why the purchase was not registered and whether the Discount can still be attributed. 24/7 Discount is not obligated to take under advisement unregistered purchases that are older than 30 days.
  14. Member refrains from hindering or causing damage to other Members and/or Advertisers. It is prohibited to Member to start processes or programs of which Member knows or can reasonably suspect that such hinders or causes damage to 24/7 Discount, other Members, or Advertisers. 24/7 Discount is authorised in the afore-stated case to close the account of Member and to let lapse any such Credit as may be on it.
  15. The Account of Member is closed and the Credit lapses if 24/7 Discount has a suspicion of fraud or abuse by Member.
  16. 24/7 Discount reserves itself the right to modify or remove a Discount without any prior notice.
  17. Member will assume an attitude and behave in accordance with what may be expected by 24/7 Discount from a diligent user.
  18. 24/7 Discount is not liable for errors in the prices on the website of Advertisers.
  19. Discount only applies for transactions that are realised entirely on-line; discount does not apply to telephonic purchases or purchases in physical stores. Even if the Transaction was started on-line at 24/7 Discount and was completed or modified telephonically or in another manner. The Discount of 24/7 Discount in such case lapses.

  2. 24/7 Discount will exert itself to process a payment request within a 30-day period. 24/7 Discount does not give any guarantee for this, however, and does not accept liability for the consequences that have arisen through the overrunning of this term, nor for any damage that have occurred as a result. 24/7 Discount will bill administration costs for the Credit to be paid out. The administration costs amount to 0.75 Euro and are deducted from the Credit.

  4. 24/7 Discount pays out Member per 25 Euros or a multiple thereof.
