(“Blidz”, “us” or “we”), with headquarters on 30 Broad Street, 14th Floor Suite #1469, New York City, NY 10004, owns and operates the website at https://blidz.com (the “Site”) and the Blidz mobile application (the “App”), both of which are subject to these Terms of Service (“Terms of Service” or “Terms”). We are pleased to offer you (“you” or “user”) access to the Site and the App (collectively, the “Platform”) and the ability to participate in shopping opportunities, other content, products, services, and promotions (collectively, the “Service”) that we provide (or may from time to time provide) through the Platform. Use of the Platform is subject to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy at https://blidz.com/profile/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”). These Terms of Service (together with the Privacy Policy, the “Agreements”) constitute an enforceable legal agreement between you and Blidz, and shall apply to your use of the Platform and the Service, even after stopping to use the Platform or the Service.
By accessing or using the Platform in any way, you agree to be bound by and to comply with these Terms of Service and all applicable terms of the other Agreements. Accordingly, please read these Terms of Service and the other Agreements carefully and thoroughly.
Blidz is not responsible for third party abuse and manipulation of the Service, for example, if other users create chaos on or interruptions to the Site that then result in lost Points for whatever reason. In such cases, and other cases of third party abuse, Blidz is not responsible and shall have no liability to any user or other person or entity.
PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING:
ELIGIBILITY: Please read Section IV carefully. Among other things, you have to be at least 18 years of age and be physically located in the continental United States, Canada or Australia to register for and use the Service.
FREE PRODUCTS AND GETTING DISCOUNTS: Blidz does not guarantee that you will get free products or purchase goods at discounts. We at Blidz do want to emphasize that product prices are determined based on various indicators, such as quantity, timing and availability, and therefore may consequently change frequently. At Blidz, users are able to purchase Deals (“Deals” or “Deal”). Deals advertised as Free Deals may be associated with costs that are not product-related such as shipping costs, transaction related costs and/or other costs.
Blidz reserves the right to change or modify any part of these Terms of Service, or any policy or guideline concerning your use of the Platform or the Service at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes will be effective upon posting of the revisions on the Site. We will post a notice of such changes to these terms on the Site for thirty (30) days.

II. Privacy Policy
Blidz respects your privacy and permits you to control the treatment of your personal information. A complete statement of the Privacy Policy can be found at https://blidz.com/profile/privacy-policy. Blidz’s Privacy Policy is expressly incorporated into the Agreements by this reference.
III. Blidz Shopping: How the Service Works
PLEASE NOTE: BLIDZ IS A SHOPPING SERVICE WHERE PRODUCTS ARE SOLD IN EXCHANGE FOR CASH. THE SALES PRICE OF A PRODUCT EQUALS THE TOTAL CASH PRICE OF THE PRODUCT PLUS THE SHIPPING COSTS TO DELIVER THE PRODUCT. THE SALES PRICE OF THE PRODUCT VARIES BASED ON THE BUYING METHODS CHOSEN. UNDER THE SCENARIOS OF TEAM-BUY, THE SALES PRICE OF A PRODUCT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THAT OF BUYING-ALONE AND JOINING DEALS OF OTHERS, AS ORDERS ARE CONSIDERED COMPLETE ONLY WHEN THE DEAL INITIATED IS JOINED BY ANOTHER NEW USER. OFTEN FINAL PRICE CAN BE SET BELOW SALES PRICE, DUE TO THE VALUE OF THE BLIDZ CASH USED TO DEDUCT FROM THE SALES PRICE.
III a) Deals
All Deals listed at Blidz contain a Retail Price (“Retail Price” or “Strike-through Price”), Sales Price (“Sales Price”), Discount (“Discount”) or (“Savings”) and the Final Price (“Final Price”) needed to purchase the Product as advertised in the listing on the Platform. The Retail Price of the Deal is set based on the product value on the open market determined by Blidz suppliers or directly from the OEM. The Sales Price is the cash price at which the user can buy the product in the listing determined by Blidz based on the buying methods chosen. The Discount is defined as the percentage difference between the Sales Price and the Retail Price excluding shipping and/or transaction related costs. The Blidz Cash is a virtual credit that can be earned for free or purchased in the Blidz App that is used to deduct from sales price of Deals. Blidz Cash earned or purchased in the App cannot be monetized, resold, or converted to physical or digital products and services or otherwise exit the virtual world without paying the Sales Price and do not represent a sale of stored value or credits maintained, accepted and issued by anyone other than the Blidz. Blidz reserves the right to replace the product on which the user bid or bought (for full price) with (i) another product of similar or higher value at the discretion of Blidz, (ii) a product of a lesser value if the user so requests, or (iii) a gift card with the value of the Sales Price of the good excluding the value of the Bidz cashPoints used to purchase the product.
1) Team-Buy Deals
A Team-Buy Deal (“TB Deal”) is defined as an offer to purchase a product where the user becomes a host of the deal, and the Deal is only considered as complete when another new buyer has joined the deal. To purchase a Team-Buy Deal, a user must pay for the applicable product by transferring to Blidz the applicable Sales Priceindicated in the product’s listing. The Sales Price of a product is set by Blidz and our suppliers individually for each Deal and may change frequently over time. If no other new buyers join the hosted deals within 7 calendar days, the deal will be deemed as incomplete, and the transferred money will be refunded into Blidz Cash. Upon request, the Blidz Cash refunded due to user’s FIRST incomplete TB Deal can be refunded back to user’s original payment channel. All following incomplete deals will not be eligible for withdrawal back to original payment channel, and will be handled based on our discretion.
2) Join Deals
A Join Deal is defined as an offer to purchase a product where the user joins the deal hosted by another user. To purchase a Join Deal, a user must pay for the applicable product by transferring to Blidz the applicable Sales Price indicated in the product’s listing. The deal is considered complete when the transfer finishes. The Sales Price of a product is set by Blidz and our suppliers individually for each Deal and may change frequently over time.
3) Buy-Alone Deals
A Buy-Alone Deal is defined as an offer to purchase a product where the user buy the deal alone. To purchase a Buy-Alone Deal, a user must pay for the applicable product by transferring to Blidz the applicable Sales Price indicated in the product’s listing. The deal is considered complete when the transfer finishes. The Sales Price of a product is set by Blidz and our suppliers individually for each Deal and may change frequently over time.
III b) Blidz Points
In this section and in these Terms, we may refer to a Point or Points as a “Blidz Point” or “Blidz Points”, or “Credit” or “Credits” respectively.
Blidz Point is an in-app credit that allows you to get access to Games and Rewards activities. At Blidz, new users receive free Points to get to know the service. After running out of Points, you must earn or purchase Points. Only registered users can purchase Points, which are offered in “packs” of a certain number of Points (sometimes referred to as “Point Packs”). The number of Points constituting a “Point Pack” varies from time to time, and Blidz reserves the right to change the number of Points in a Point Pack and the price of Points, in its sole discretion at any time.
Points have no monetary value and are exclusively offered to users for use in participating in Games and Rewards activities on Blidz. Points cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash. Free Point are not eligible for a refund.
In case of promotional offers where free Points are awarded to a user in connection with the purchase of Paid Points by such user, no refund or other cash amount will be paid in respect of those free Points by Blidz and any refund for the corresponding Paid Points will result in any related free Points being removed from the user’s account. When purchasing a Point Pack with promotional free Points, the free Points are added last to the account, meaning they will be used after the paid Points. All Points follow the first-in, first-out hierarchy, so the Points received first will be used first and the Points received last will be used last.
An example: Gavin purchases 50 Points and receives an additional 5 free Points in a promotional offer tied to the purchase. After that, he invites friends, and one of his friends joins Blidz such that Gavin receives an additional 2 free Points, totaling 50 purchased Points and 7 Free Points. Next Gavin uses his Points; first the 50 paid Points are used, then the 5 free Points received from the purchase and last the 2 free Points from the invited friend.
When a user uses a Point and that Point is deducted from the user’s account, that Point can no longer be refunded. If you ever believe that your account does not reflect Points that you have acquired validly, you must notify us within 1 week of the time at which you purchased the Points.
Please also be advised that in case of any permanent discontinuation of the Service by Blidz, any Points remaining in the system thereafter will be deemed invalid and Blidz shall not be liable for those Points or any related issues.
To acquire Point Packs, we may require a valid credit card number, billing address, and credit card expiration date or other payment mechanism. This information is used to charge for payment of Point Packs and buying products, and to verify your name, address information and other information.
III c) Blidz Cash
In this section and in these Terms, we may refer to a Blidz Cash as a “Blidz Cash” or “Cash”.
Blidz Cash is an in-app currency that is used to deduct from the Sales Price of a Deal. At Blidz, users may receive free Blidz Cash by performing in-app activities such as claiming rewards. Only registered users can purchase Blidz Cash, which are offered in “packs” of a certain number of Blidz Cash (sometimes referred to as “Cash Packs”). The number of Blidz Cash constituting a “Cash Pack” varies from time to time, and Blidz reserves the right to change the number of Cash in a Cash Pack and the price of Cash Pack, in its sole discretion at any time. In the event that a payment by a user for Cash Pack is not honored, that user will be charged a “returned payment” fee and Blidz reserves the right to block such user’s access to the Service until payment is received in full, including any fees for returned payment (as well as any other fees, penalties or costs imposed by Blidz), is received in full by Blidz. Blidz also reserves the right to withhold delivery of any purchased product until payment for such product is received in full.

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM BLIDZ OR THAT RESULTS FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OF FILES OR EMAIL, ERRORS, DEFECTS, VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS CODE, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO PROVIDER RECORDS, PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES, AND WHETHER OR NOT BLIDZ HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. USER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY TO ALL CONTENT, MERCHANDISE, AND SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE, THE SERVICE, THE APP OR OTHERWISE THROUGH BLIDZ.
You agree that Blidz shall not be liable for personal injury and property damage resulting from the use, improper handling, modification, or misuse of any product purchased or otherwise acquired through the Service. Further, Blidz hereby disclaims any and all liability from claims arising from trip packages offered through the Service. Blidz will not be liable for any damages or injuries, whether physical or emotional, that occur or are received during a trip purchased through the Service. Blidz shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for flight delays, loss of baggage, or other losses that occur during a trip offered through the Service.
All new products are sold with the manufacturer's limited warranty only. Blidz warrants solely that the products sold to you under these terms shall have the characteristics specified in Blidz's specifications for such products as set forth in the description of each Deal and assumes no further warranties. The warranty period and service varies by manufacturer and product. The full text of any such warranty is available, free of charge, upon written request to Blidz. Warranty is excluded for the delivery of any used products.

SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
XI. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Blidz and its employees, managers, directors, shareholders, officers, agents, members, affiliates or any other partners harmless from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), arising from or related to your breach of these Terms, any other terms of the Site, and/or your violation of any law or the rights of Blidz or any third party.
XII. System Outage & Disruptions; Temporarily Paused Deals
In case of an unforeseeable disruption in the system, maintenance, or other issues Blidz could experience a system outage preventing Deals from being purchase. In such a case the Deals are paused. Blidz is not responsible for any other costs incurred by you due to a system outage. After the outage has been resolved Deals will continue and extra time will be added to the remaining time to allow users to restore connectivity to the platform and purchase Deals before the Deals close. The App will clearly indicate disruptions in the system and issues with your connection to the platform. Blidz reserves the right to cancel Deals that end due to system error, technical issues, or any other reasonable reason.
With current technology, it is not possible to develop and operate computer programs (software) and data processing systems (hardware) entirely without error, or to rule out any unpredictable events in connection with the Internet. Blidz, therefore, provides no guarantee for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the website, app and other technical systems. Blidz shall not be liable for any damage incurred by Deals users or third parties from using Blidz's services. In particular, Blidz shall not be liable for damage that occurs due to Loyalty Points not being received by Blidz, not being received promptly, or not being considered as a consequence of technical errors.
XIII. Request for identification
You hereby agree that Blidz may request information from you to verify the completeness and accuracy of Registration Information (as defined below).
Blidz may occasionally request identity verification from users to ensure fairness and an even playing field. Blidz may at any time choose to make such requests for the purposes of validating your identity, age, place of residence, usage patterns, or other registration data ("Registration Information"). The purpose of the corresponding review of Registration Information is to prevent money laundering, cheating, and other breach of these Terms of Service and/or any applicable laws.
You hereby authorize us to review and use the information or documentation you provide to us for the purposes described above, and to disclose it to any third party we consider necessary in order to check, verify or validate the information.
In the event you decline a request for identification verification, or in the event Blidz determines in its sole discretion that the information provided by you is unsatisfactory, Blidz has the right to suspend or permanently remove such unverified user accounts and cancel any Deals won by such users. Such user of unverified accounts will forfeit the right to receive any won products or to be refunded for any payments made, Loyalty Points used and Loyalty Points remaining in the account.
Upon receipt of satisfactory documentation as deemed by Blidz, we shall release any products and/or Loyalty Points which may have previously been placed on hold, pending verification of your account. Blidz will subsequently ship these products within 28 working days from the date your account has been verified.
XIV. Network Connection
Blidz requires an adequate network connection to communicate with the platform and to run the Service efficiently. The Blidz app has been tested to work on a 2G connection (250Kbps bandwidth, 300ms RTT), if your connection fails to meet that quality Blidz cannot guarantee that the application will function properly. Blidz also recommends downloading the application over Wi-Fi if your mobile internet connection is slow, as the application download will be larger and could incur data fees. In case of bad network connectivity, we recommend using a strong, reliable Wi-Fi connection or refraining from using Blidz. Blidz cannot be held responsible for insufficient network connection, and it is the user's responsibility to ensure that their connection is fast enough to use the Service. Further, while an adequate network connection is necessary to use the Service, it may not be sufficient: low battery and outdated hardware are just a few examples of other variables that could impact the functionality of the Service.
XV. Applicable Law
THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO RULES GOVERNING CHOICE OF LAWS. ANY ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND YOU IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.
FURTHERMORE, IF YOUR REGISTRATION WITH THE SERVICE AND/OR YOUR ACTIONS IN RELATION TO THE SERVICE VIOLATE ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
XVI. Severability; Waiver; Assignment
If, for whatever reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or condition in these Terms of Service to be unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Service shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Blidz. Blidz may assign or delegate some or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
XVII. Modifications and Amendments
Blidz may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, a) revise these Terms of Service; b) modify the Site, the App and/or the Service; and c) discontinue the Site, the App and/or Service at any time. Blidz shall post any revision to these Terms of Service to the Site, and the revision shall be effective immediately on such posting. You agree to review these Terms of Service and other online policies posted on the Site periodically to be aware of any revisions. You agree that, by continuing to use or access the Service following notice of any revision, you shall abide by any such revision.
