5. How the contract is formed between you and us

Upon receipt of your payment by Paypal following your purchase of the Product via the Website, we shall immediately confirm your order by sending a voucher to the email address provided, which will include redemption instructions on how to access the Product purchased.

6. Our status

Time Out is only responsible for issuing the Offer to the customer. Time Out is not the supplier of the goods and/or services under the Offer. Therefore, from the point of issuing the Offer onwards, the execution and supply of the Offer is the sole responsibility of the Merchant, pursuant to their own T&Cs of sale. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offer will be subject to any applicable timeframes, conditions and cancellation provisions detailed in the Merchant's T&Cs of sale.

The Merchant is the seller of the goods and/or services under the Offer and is solely responsible for ensuring the Offer and the goods and/or services are performed and comply with all applicable law.

Other than in respect of Time Out Goods, Time Out’s obligations under these Terms are solely to issue the Product to you under the Offer. Time Out is not the seller of such goods and/or services and the Merchant is solely responsible for supplying such goods and/or services and redeeming any such Product in respect of the same pursuant to their terms and conditions of sale.

Time Out disclaims any and all responsibility or liability in relation to the Offer or for any goods or services supplied in relation to it to the maximum extent permissible by law. Neither Time Out nor its officers, employees or any third parties may be held liable whether in relation to contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, tax matters or any other form of liability for any claim, damage or loss, arising from or relating to the provision of all or any goods or services sold or agreed to be supplied pursuant to the Offer.

We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller and/or the Merchant. Time Out may disclose the customer information that you provided when purchasing the Product to the Merchant, if this is required for the Merchant to provide you with the Product.

7. Consumer rights

If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel your contract for an Offer at any time within fourteen (14) days beginning on the day of the purchase (provided that any voucher in relation to a Product has not yet been redeemed or provided that a date that relates to a Product with a specific date has not passed during that time) (the “Cooling Off Period”). Cancellation requests should be sent directly to offers@timeout.com and you may use the Model Cancellation Form found below. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Product, including any applicable Booking Fees, in accordance with our refunds policy. The Cooling Off Period does not apply to certain types of contracts to provide accommodation, transport, catering or leisure services (for example hotel accommodation, plane, train or concert tickets, car hire or sporting events) where it has been agreed that the service will be provided on a specific date or within a specific period. Services that will begin, by agreement, before the end of the Cooling Off Period are also excluded.

To cancel your contract for an Offer, you must inform us in writing within the Cooling Off Period. This time period is critical and cannot be extended. In the event that we receive written notice within the Cooling Off Period we shall cancel your purchase of the Product and you must also destroy any associated voucher held electronically or in printed form. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

In relation to Products purchased to attend an event or a course, circumstances outside of Time Out’s control may mean that Time Out is obliged to make minor changes to the schedule or content of any event or course. Time Out shall use its best endeavours to ensure that the event or course remains as unchanged as possible and shall make every effort to ensure that any replacements or changes are of an equivalent nature to that being changed.

8. Price and payment

The price of a Product in relation to the Offer will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT.

The price of the Time Out Goods will be quoted on the Website and is subject to change from time to time. Any price changes by us will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you confirmation. These prices include VAT.

If there is an obvious pricing error in relation to the Offer which could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing then we have the right to cancel the purchase of the Product issued in respect of the Offer and issue you with a refund in respect of the same.

The Price of a Product may be subject to additional booking fees (the “Booking Fees”). These Booking Fees cover the costs that Time Out incurs, including technology costs (such as costs related to server and website hosting, email processing, and transaction processing), production costs (including costs related to the preparation and production of the Offer on Time Out's platform), and customer service costs including queries, refunds, and merchant support.

9. Third Party Payment Processing

Time Out uses the services of Paypal, the third party payment module, to process payments securely and limit fraud in connection with credit card transactions or other payment methods through its tokenization solution. Should you desire to effect purchases through the Website, you will be required to disclose personal payment information (e.g. credit card number, address, expiration date, etc.) to [Paypal.com]. Time Out will not collect, process, keep or store your personal payment information on the Website. The Paypal solution is fully PCI-compliant because it stores a secure token as a reference to the credit card data. Paypal allows customers to store their payment information during the checkout process for future use, giving returning customers the convenience of stored credit cards and rapid checkout. For a summary of the collection and use of payment information collected by Paypal, Time Out recommends that you read the Paypal Privacy Policy at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full. Time Out shall not be liable for any actions or omissions committed by Paypal.

10. Our refunds policy

If we are providing a refund:

(a) Because you have cancelled your contract for an Offer within the Cooling Off Period (provided always that you have not completed the purchase of the Product during that time) we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within fourteen (14) days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full.

(b)For any other reason, at our discretion, we will notify you of such refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will endeavour to process the refund due to you as soon as possible.

We will refund any money received from you (including any applicable Booking Fees) using the same method originally used by you to pay for the Product.

11. Cancellation by Time Out

In the unlikely event that Time Out has to change, cancel or reschedule a date for a Product due to events beyond Time Out’s reasonable control, a full refund will be given to you. Time Out will not, however, refund travel, accommodation or any other costs that you may have incurred over and above the fee paid for the Product.
