The Voucher you purchase through SB is redeemable for goods or services by the Merchant. The Merchant, not SB, is the seller of the Voucher and goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Voucher you purchase.  SB sells a Voucher that can be redeemed in connection with your purchase of the goods or services from Merchant.

Any attempted redemption of Vouchers contrary to these terms & conditions will render the restaurant-specific Voucher void.  

All vouchers are void where prohibited by law. 

If a Voucher is redeemed for less than its face value, you are only entitled to a credit or cash from the Restaurant, equal to the difference between face value and the amount you redeemed, if required by applicable law.  You will only be entitled to a continuing redemption value as noted above if the amount that you paid for the Voucher exceeds the amount you redeemed.  

2. Terms and Conditions for Non-Restaurant Merchant Vouchers

3.  Additional Terms and Conditions for All SB Vouchers.  

 All Vouchers are subject to the terms and conditions of SB and the participating Restaurant or Merchant.  The Restaurant or Merchant is the sellers of the goods or services which you are purchasing.  

The holder and issuer of the restaurant-specific Voucher is the Restaurant.  The holder and issuer of the merchant Voucher is the Merchant.  As a holder and issuer of the Voucher, the Restaurant or Merchant shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries, illness, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect of a customer, caused in whole or in part by the Restaurant or the Merchant, as well as for any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Vouchers or portions thereof.  You waive, and release SB, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from, any claim, liabilities, damages, or injury arising from or related to any act or omission of Merchant or Restaurant in connection with a Voucher of 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.  Restaurant-specific Vouchers and Merchant Vouchers are redeemable in their entirety and on a one time basis only and may not be redeemed incrementally.  

The Merchant may be responsible, under applicable law, to allow you to redeem the cash value you paid for your Voucher, for a period of time that extends beyond the expiration date on your Voucher.   This is the money you actually paid for your Voucher, not the value of the goods/services the Voucher was for.  Even if the expiration date on your Voucher has passed, the Merchant may still be responsible to let you redeem the Voucher (under applicable law) for the cash value paid for the Voucher up until the greater of: (1) the Voucher’s expirations 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 Merchant.  SB has advised the Merchant to allow cash redemption where applicable law requires it.  If applicable law entitles you to such a redemption and the Merchant refuses to allow you to redeem your Voucher for cash value, please contact SB in writing and explain your situation.  SB will then refund the purchase price of the Voucher or credit you for purchase of future Vouchers with SB.  

III. PRIVACY POLICY

 

1.   Changes to Privacy Policy

SB may change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the revised Privacy Policy in the “Privacy Policy” section of the website.  The revised Privacy Policy will go into effect immediately upon being posted on the website.  It is the sole responsibility of each User to be familiar with the Privacy Policy.  The Privacy Policy section of the website should be checked periodically by User to learn of any changes to the Privacy Policy.  Your continued access and use of the website after revisions to the Privacy Policy constitute your acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.  

 

2.  Types of Information Collected and Uses of Collected Information

SB collects two types of information about website Users:  Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.  

Personally Identifiable Information – Personally Identifiable Information is information that identifies a specific End User.  When you engage in certain activitites on the website, such as creating an account, ordering a product or service from SB or our partners, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums, entering a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by us or our partners, filling out a survey, posting a review, sending us or our partners feedback, requesting information about our services, submitting an affiliate agreement, applying for a job, posting a video or signing up for special offers from third parties through the website (collectively, “Identification Activities”), we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. It is optional for you to engage in an Identification Activity.  If you elect to engage in an Identification Activity, however, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and date of birth.  When you order products or services, we may also ask you to provide us with your credit card number, expiration date and authentication codes or related information.  Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is identified as voluntary.  If you do not provide the mandatory information for a particular activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity.  

SB uses Personally Identifiable Information to provide products and services to you, administer sweepstakes and contests, enhance the operation of the website, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyze website use, improve our product and service offerings, and to tailor your experience with third parties as provided in Item 3 of this Privacy Policy.  For example, if you send our customer service an email, we may use your comments and feedback to tell others about our services, and may post your comment in our marketing materials or on our Website. In addition, if you use our website to send information or a product to another person, we may store your personal information, and the personal information of any recipient.  We may use that other person’s contact information to allow him or her to view and accept your gift or to allow the recipient to access the information you requested we send.  We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce agreements with you, including our website Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.  

Non-Personally Identifiable Information – Non-Personally Identifiable Information is information that does not identify a specific End User.  This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to our website, the URL of the website you visit after leaving your website, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.  We, and/or our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers, may automatically collect this information when you visit our Website through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described in Items 4 and 8 of this Privacy Policy.  

We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, administer the Website, analyze trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities.  We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, and programming.  

 

3.  Release of Personally Identifiable Information

We will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with other parties except as provided below:  

We may share your information with SB Merchants.  From time to time, we provide offers from particular merchants (referred to as “SB Merchants”) who, as part of the offer, request information on SB customers who purchased the offer.  In those cases, we share some of your Personally Identifiable Information with SB Merchants.  Sharing this Information will allow a SB Merchant to market directly to you should they choose to do so.  However, we will only share Personally Identifiable Information with a SB Merchant if you engage in an Identification Activity, and then only to the SB Merchant involved in that Identification Activity.  Please note that we will only provide a SB Merchant your information with an opt-in notice to you, in which you will have a chance to choose that SB not give the SB Merchant your personal information.  We specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability for the actions of such SB Merchant.  While we inform them that they are only permitted to communicate with you for the purposes of the specific promotion with SB, we do not have any responsibility for the actions of the SB Merchant, and the actions of the SB Merchant are not in our control.  

We may remarket your information.  Remarketing is a way for us to connect with users, based upon your past interaction with the SB website.  Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by SB to perform remarketing services.  As a result, third-party vendors, including Google may show SB ads on sites on the internet.  Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to SB’s website.  Users may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

We may share your information in a Business Transfer.  As with any other business, we could merge with, or be acquired by another company.  If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable Information.  However, Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.  

We may share your information for our Protection and the Protection of Others.  We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or a court order; enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, our Website Terms of Use or other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, its Users or others.  

 

4.  Release of Non-Personally Identifiable Information  

We may disclose or share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Partners.  Affiliates and Advertisers.  For example, we may share aggregated demographic information (which does not include any Personally Identifiable Information) with “Third Party Advertisers” or “Third Party Advertising Companies” and other parties as provided below:  

We use Third Party Advertising Companies to serve ads when you visit our Website.  These companies may use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide, through the use of network tags, advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.  

We also use Third Party Service Providers to track and analyze Non-Personally Identifiable usage and volume statistical information from our Users to administer our Website and constantly improve its quality.  We may also publish this information for promotional purposes or as a representative audience for Advertisers. Please note that this is not Personally Identifiable Information, only general summaries of the activities of our Users.  Such data is collected on our behalf, and is owned by SB.  

 

5. Updating and Correcting Information

SB wants its Users to have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you provide us.  You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information by sending us an email at customerservice@SB.com.  Please indicate your name, email address, and what information you would like to update.  

SB encourages you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes.  You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because SB keeps track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on the website.  In addition, it may be impossible for us to completely delete all of your information because we periodically backup information.  

 

6.  User Choices on Collection and Use of Information

As discussed above, a User can always choose not to provide information, although it may be required to engage in a certain activity on the website.  

As a condition of purchase of our products and services, we will send you Administrative and Promotional emails.  We will send you information regarding your account activity and purchases as well as updates about our products and promotional offers.  You cannot opt-out of Administrative emails.  “Administrative Emails” relate to a User’s activity on the website, and include emails regarding a particular User’s account, request or inquiries, and purchases of products and services.  In contrast to Administrative Emails, however, you do have a choice with respect to Promotional Emails.  Promotional Emails advertise our products and services including exclusive sales and other offers, and/or the products and services of our Advertisers and Affiliates.  If you do not want to receive Promotional Emails from us, you may elect to opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails at any time after registering by e-mailing us at customerservice@SB.co.com, or by hitting the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of our emails.  When contacting us, please indicate your name, email address, and what Promotional Emails you do not want to receive.  

 

7.  Security of Information 

SB takes security seriously and takes numerous precautions to protect the security of Personally Identifiable Information.  You can access your Personally Identifiable Information on our website through a password and your email address.  This password is encrypted.  We recommend that you do not share your password with anyone.  In addition, you Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to.  We encrypt certain sensitive information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your Personally Identifiable Information is safe as it is transmitted to us.  

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Website, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.  

 

8.  Data Tracking

Cookies.  To facilitate and customize your experience with the Website, we store cookies on your computer.  A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a User’s computer for record-keeping purposes which contains information about the User.  We use cookies to save you time while using the Website, remind us who you are, and track and target User interests in order to provide a customized experience.  Cookies also allow us to collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you, like which pages you visited and what links you clicked on.  Use of this information helps us create a more user-friendly experience for all visitors.  In addition, we may use Third Party Advertising Companies to display advertisements on our Website.  As part of their service, they may place separate cookies on your computer.  We have no access to or control over these cookies.  This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by our Website only and does not cover the use of cookies by any Advertiser.  Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to modify your browser settings to decline cookies.  Please note that if you decline or delete these cookies, some parts of the Website may not work properly.  

Other Tracking Devices.  We may use other industry standard technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to track your use of our Website pages and promotions, or we may allow our Third Party Service Providers to use these devices on our behalf.  Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on our Website, or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.  When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a Non-Personally Identifiable notice of that action.  Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our Website, as well as give us a way to measure our promotions and performance.  We may also utilize pixel tags and web beacons to provide by our Affiliates and/or Marketing Partners for the same purposes.  

 

9.  Privacy Policies of Third Party Websites

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.  Other websites that may be accessible through this Website have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices.  If you link to any such website, we urge you review the website’s Privacy Policy.  We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.  

 

10.  Miscellaneous Privacy Issues

Children.  Minors under the age of 18 may not use the Website.  We do not collect or maintain information from anyone known to be under the age of 18, and no part of the Website is designed to attract anyone under the age of 18.   SB does not sell products for purchase by children.  In certain instances, we sell children’s products for purchase by adults.  If you are under 18, you may use SB only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.  

Public Areas.  We may provide areas on our Website where you can publicly post information about yourself, can communicate with others, or can review products, restaurants, and submit media content.  This information may be accessible by other consumers and companies and may appear on other websites or web searches, and therefore this information could be read, collected, and used by others.  For example, if you post your email address along with a public restaurant review, you may receive unsolicited messages.  SB has no control over who reads your postings or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so please use caution when posting any personal information. 

RETURN POLICY
