  2. Operation of Website
    1. We provide a sales and purchasing service. This service consists of us identifying Merchants who are willing to offer goods or services for sale. We work with the Merchants to agree a price which we believe will appeal to Registered Golfers and then promote these Deals to our Registered Golfers. If a Deal is confirmed, we then co-ordinate the collection of money for the Merchants and issue Vouchers which can be redeemed for the Goods or Services to Registered Golfers who have offered to purchase the Goods or Services. The Website is a tool through which we deliver that service.
    2. The Merchant is the seller of the Goods and/or Services promoted on the Website and is solely responsible for redeeming any Goods and/or Services you purchase. We act as an agent for the Merchant in the sale and purchase of Goods and/or Services in a Deal and receive a commission from the Merchant for facilitating the Deal.
    3. If you wish to purchase a Deal or use any other function offered on the Website you will need to complete the Registered Golfer registration process, including providing all information we require.
    4. By clicking 'I accept' you agree to receive email and/or text message communications from us about Deals and other advertising and promotional materials we believe may interest you. You can opt out of receiving these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the communication or following the process set out in the text message or by logging onto www.golf.co.nz in the My Profile area.
  3. Purchase of Deals
    1. By placing an order to redeem a Deal, you make an Offer to us to purchase the Goods or Services that are the subject of the Deal you have selected in accordance with these Terms and any other terms stated as applicable to the Deal. You may not revoke an Offer.
    2. Once a Deal is confirmed, no refunds or exchanges will be given except where required by law.
