Thank you for using Nift!

What follows is a legally binding agreement. We encourage you to read it carefully and look forward to working with you.

This Nift Networks Platform Terms of Service Agreement (the “​Agreement”)​ is made and entered into between Nift Networks, Inc. (​“Nift Networks”)​ and the customer that has registered with Nift Networks to use the Nift Networks Platform (“​you”​). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for your use of the Nift Networks Gifts Management Platform (the “​Nift Networks Platform”)​ , which enables merchants to distribute offers and rewards (“​Gifts”​) to customers of merchants on the Nift Networks Platform (​“Consumers”)​ via the Nift Networks website available at http://www.gonift.com, i​ncluding any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which Nift Networks makes its services available, our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces, and all associated services, (collectively, "​the Site")​ . I​ f you are accessing and using the Nift Networks Platform on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to this Agreement. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

  1. Gifts.

    1.     1.1   Our goal is to match people with the best possible gift for them to discover a great neighborhood business. To that end, Nift Networks will host and manage the Nift Networks Platform, including the collection and analysis of consumer information and transaction data, the selection and presentation of optimal Gifts for Consumers based on such information, and issuing Gifts you define and select to be offered to Consumers. You may only use the Nift Networks Platform to manage Gifts available for redemption at your own location(s); you may not use the Nift Networks Platform to manage Gifts for other merchants on the Nift Networks Platform. Consumers may receive Gifts via email, mobile app, the Nift Networks website, or physical presence and redeem them with the business that created the Gift through the Nift Networks Platform.

Data that you upload (or have uploaded on your behalf as described in Sections 2.3(iii) and (iv) below) to the Nift Networks Platform about your business and Consumers, including Consumer List Information (defined below) (“​Merchant Data”​) shall be and shall remain your property.
