PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.
The Bloomspot website is provided by Bloomspot, Inc. and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Bloomspot," "we," us," "our") for your and others' personal, non-commercial enjoyment, subject to the terms and conditions of use set forth here and all modifications thereto (the "Terms"), and the rules that may be published from time to time by Bloomspot. By using the Site, you are explicitly agreeing to these Terms. The term "Site" includes the website located at bloomspot.com and any other online properties owned or operated by us.
We may change the Terms from time to time and at any time without actual notice. All such changes to the Terms will appear on our Site. By using this Site after we post any changes, you agree to accept those changes, whether or not you have reviewed them. If at any time you choose not to accept these Terms, please do not use this Site.
Bloomspot, via the Site, provides users with access to recommendations for activities and experiences ("Services"). The Services also include opportunities to purchase prepaid reservations, services, or products from third-party merchants ("Offers").
The Merchant, not Bloomspot, is the seller of the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming certificates. The certificates purchased and printed from the Site ("Certificates") are promotional certificates that may be offered to customers below their face value and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bloomspot and the participating Merchant. As the issuer of the Certificate, 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, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Certificate.
Each Offer is subject to specific terms, conditions, and restrictions that will be displayed at the time of purchase. Unless otherwise stated in the Certificate or required by law, the following additional terms apply to all Certificates:
Event certificates redeemable for a ticket or admission to a specific ticketed event at a named venue. Event tickets are revocable licenses and have no value once the event date and time has passed. Event Tickets are only refundable: (i) by request until midnight on day of purchase; (ii) automatically if the event is canceled and not rescheduled, and (iii) upon request if event is rescheduled. Event Tickets: (a) include all taxes and additional fees; (b) do not include gratuity; (c) are ineligible for upgrades, and (d) may not be used in conjunction with other offers.
The following applies to Offers for prepaid hotel reservations ("Hotel Offers"):
Bloomspot works with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of prepaid reservations for hotel rooms. By placing an order for a Hotel Offer, you submit a reservation request and authorize Bloomspot to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with the hotel supplier.
Unless otherwise stated in the Offer, taxes and fees are not included in the price of Hotel Offers, and Bloomspot does not collect any taxes that may be applicable to your hotel reservations. Hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions.
Hotel Bookings are non-transferrable, may not be sold, auctioned, or bartered, and have no value once the check-in date has passed. Bloomspot does not facilitate and is not liable for any special requests, which may be accommodated directly with the merchant prior to check-in at the merchant’s discretion. Cancellations to Hotel Bookings may only be made through Bloomspot through the deadline specified in the Fine Print and Details of the Hotel Booking. Cancellations to any Hotel Booking after the cancellation deadline and modifications to the traveler’s name are at the discretion of the merchant.
Bloomspot strongly encourages all travelers to obtain independent travel insurance. You agree to abide by any additional rules and restrictions that the merchant may require and violation of such additional rules and restrictions may result in additional charges and the cancellation of your Hotel Booking.
"bloom rewards" (formerly known as "bloombucks") are a form of Bloomspot currency that may be applied as a credit towards future Bloomspot purchases. bloom rewards may be credited in for several reasons - including promotional rewards (given to certain customers in connection with a specific promotion, contest or sweepstakes), loyalty rewards (given as a result of participating in Bloomspot Encore – formerly known as Bloomspot PRIME), and customer service (given when deemed appropriate). bloom rewards expire one month after the date of purchase or issuance, unless another expiration date is explicitly stated at the time of the credit, except where expiration of Paid Bloom Rewards is prohibited by law. bloom rewards are not returnable or refundable for cash, except where required by law. Resale of bloom rewards is strictly prohibited.
Bloomspot provides Members with Rewards Programs (including, but not limited to, "Bloomspot Encore", and "Walk-In Offers") for which Members can earn rewards, in the form of Bloom Rewards, from participating in the program. The maximum amount of Bloom Rewards that a customer can earn from a single action, transaction, receipt submission, or merchant visit is capped at $200.
Top Encore members--as determined by spend at Encore merchants--obtain “Encore Platinum” status. Members with Encore Platinum status receive 10% off all Bloomspot purchases. A maximum Encore Platinum discount of $100 can be applied to any purchase. The Encore Platinum discount cannot be combined with other discounts and is not transferable. The list of members qualifying for Encore Platinum updates regularly, and members with Encore Platinum status can lose their status at any time.
Bloomspot offers users the opportunity to support certain charitable causes through the Community Circles program available on the Site ("Circles"). After opting to participate in Circles, you may elect to have Bloomspot contribute 10% of the purchase price for any Offer that you purchase to a charitable organization of your choosing ("Contribution"). You will be prompted to select and confirm any Contribution during the Offer purchase checkout process. When you submit the choice to assign a Contribution, you agree to these Terms.
You understand that your Contribution will be made to Bloomspot directly, who will then disburse your Contribution to the organization of your choice. We shall not request or receive any item of value from nonprofits or fundraisers in connection with our transmittal of any Contribution.
We make Contributions to two types of organizations, nonprofits ("Nonprofits") and community fundraisers ("Fundraisers"). Nonprofits are organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (Please note that we do not independently verify the validity of the 501(c)(3) status of either Nonprofits or Community Fundraisers.) Contributions to Nonprofits are made through Network for Good, a third-party, nonprofit, donor-advised fund, which will then distribute your Contribution to the Nonprofit(s) you have indicated. Fundraisers are privately-supported organizations that (a) do not engage in illegal activities, and (b) comply with Executive Order 13224 and the U.S. Patriot Act in their entirety, including by not engaging in any activities associated with terrorism and/or providing material support or resources for terrorism. The Nonprofits and Fundraisers listed on our Site are for your information and knowledge purposes only; Bloomspot does not take responsibility for or independently verify the actions or activities of any Nonprofit or Fundraiser. Please make whatever investigations or research you feel necessary before making a Contribution. Please note that in making a Contribution to a Fundraiser, YOU ARE REPRESENTING AND WARRANTING THAT THE DESIGNATED FUNDRAISER DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ACTIVITIES THAT VIOLATE EXECUTIVE ORDER 13224 AND THE U.S. PATRIOT ACT. In relying on your representation, Bloomspot will not independently verify the legality of the designated Fundraiser. However, we reserve the right to discontinue or refuse any Contribution with notice to you. YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD BLOOMSPOT, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEES HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES OF FUNDRAISERS TO WHOM YOU DESIGNATE AS A RECIPIENT OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, OR THE FAILURE OF SUCH FUNDRAISERS, TO COMPLY WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 13224 AND/OR THE U.S. PATRIOT ACT.
While we will attempt to make Contributions to your designated Nonprofit or Fundraiser, we shall not be liable to you, the Nonprofit, or the Fundraiser for the failure of such attempt to succeed in effecting a Contribution. You also may not cancel or change your designation of the party to whom a Contribution has been made. If we cannot donate to the Nonprofit or Fundraiser of your choice for any reason, we will notify you by e-mail. Nothing herein grants any Nonprofit or Fundraiser any right in, or to receive, any designated Contribution prior to the Nonprofit or Fundraiser's physical receipt of a check from Bloomspot conveying such Contribution.
Please note that Bloomspot reserves the right to cancel or modify the Circles program at any time.
