Kudos 365 markets the Coupons and acts as an agent in offering the Coupons on behalf of Business Members. However, the Business Members are the issuers of the Coupons. As the issuer of the Coupon, the Business Member shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or in respect of a member, caused in whole or in part by the Business Member or its products or services. Business Members warrant that they have the full right and authority to offer a Coupon, and they are solely responsible for the accuracy of text printed on their Coupons.
Each Coupon has specific terms associated with the Coupon. You agree to redeem the Coupon based on the terms, restrictions and conditions associated with the Coupon. Coupon specific terms supersede any inconsistent terms in these Terms and Conditions, except to the extent such terms are prohibited by applicable law.

- No cash back or credit will be issued for partial redemption of a Coupon,
- One (1) Coupon may be used per redemption,
- Neither Kudos 365 nor any Business Member is responsible for lost or stolen Coupons,
- Coupons cannot be combined with other offers, coupons, third party certificates or promotions,
- Coupons cannot be used for sales, value added or use taxes, tips, prior balances, or shipping and handling, as applicable, which may be charged to you separately by the Business Member at the time you redeem the Coupon.
- The expiration date for a Coupon is as printed on the Coupon, except where prohibited by law. The Business Member is obligated to honor the Coupon in compliance with applicable local laws.
