Terms of Service
Effective date: April 12, 2026
[REVIEW — NOT LEGAL ADVICE] This document is a working draft prepared for product use. It must be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before public release.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Denver Deals mobile application and the website at denverdeals.app (together, the “Service”), operated by Denver Deals from Denver, Colorado.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
2. Accounts
- You must provide accurate information when you register and keep it current.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity under your account.
- You must notify us promptly at support@denverdeals.app of any unauthorized use of your account.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are engaged in fraud or abuse.
3. The Service
Denver Deals is a marketplace that lets local merchants publish time-limited offers (“Deals”) and lets shoppers discover and claim those Deals. Denver Deals is not a party to any transaction between a shopper and a merchant. Merchants are solely responsible for honoring the Deals they publish.
4. Claiming and redeeming Deals
By claiming a Deal you agree to the following rules:
- Proximity required. You must be physically within two (2) miles of the merchant location at the time of claim. We verify this on our servers.
- One claim per Deal. You may not claim the same Deal more than once.
- 45-minute redemption window. When you claim a Deal, you have forty-five (45) minutes from the time of claim to redeem it in person at the merchant location, regardless of when the Deal itself naturally expires. The 45-minute timer is independent of the Deal’s posted end time.
- Show-the-counter redemption. Redemption is performed by presenting the in-app QR code to the merchant. Each QR code is single-use and time-bound.
- Natural expiry does not void claims. If a Deal’s posted end time passes after you have already claimed, your claim and your 45-minute timer remain valid.
- Merchant cancellation does void claims. If a merchant cancels a Deal, all active claims for that Deal are voided and you will be notified immediately.
- No transfer. Claims are personal to your account and may not be sold, gifted, or transferred.
- Quantities are limited. Deals are first-come, first-served. We do not guarantee that any particular Deal will be available when you open the app.
5. Merchant responsibilities to shoppers
Merchants are independently owned and operated. Denver Deals does not control and is not responsible for the goods or services merchants provide, the quality of those goods or services, or any disputes between you and a merchant. Disputes must be resolved directly with the merchant. We may, at our discretion, assist with mediation but are not obligated to do so.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
- Attempt to circumvent the proximity, single-claim, or timer rules described above.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service.
- Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
- Interfere with the operation of the Service or with other users’ enjoyment of it.
- Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, or harmful content.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section without notice.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by Denver Deals or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
User-submitted content (e.g., merchant logos and Deal descriptions) remains owned by the submitting party, who grants Denver Deals a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the Service.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEAL WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DENVER DEALS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Denver Deals and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, or damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will survive.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms at this URL with a revised “Effective date.” Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
