2.1 Age Requirements
You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to use the Platform as a Consumer. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, to register as a Sponsor or Vendor, to make any payment through the Platform, or to enter into any binding agreement on behalf of a business. By using the Platform you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement.
2.2 Legal Capacity

2.3 Accurate Information
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update that information promptly as it changes. Buyya reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that contains false, inaccurate, or misleading information.

2.5 One Account Per User
You may maintain only one active Sponsor account per email address. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, claim promotional offers multiple times, or otherwise abuse the Platform is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts without refund.
3. Description of the Platform
3.1 Overview
Buyya is a geo-fenced lead generation and gifting marketplace that connects local professionals (Sponsors) with nearby individuals (Consumers) through the medium of complimentary gifts redeemable at participating local merchants (Vendors). When a Consumer's mobile device enters a Geofence surrounding a participating Vendor, the Buyya application may deliver a push notification informing the Consumer that a nearby Sponsor has funded a complimentary Gift at that Vendor. The Consumer may claim the Gift in the application, redeem it in person at the Vendor within the Claim Window, and as a result of that interaction the Sponsor receives the Consumer's contact information and the right to send one introductory message through the Buyya CRM.
3.2 Buyya as Marketplace Intermediary
Buyya operates solely as a technology marketplace and payment intermediary. Buyya is not a party to any transaction between a Sponsor and a Consumer, nor between a Sponsor and a Vendor, nor between a Consumer and a Vendor. Buyya does not manufacture, prepare, handle, or deliver any Gift. Buyya makes no representations regarding the quality, safety, fitness for purpose, or legality of any Gift, the reliability of any Vendor, the conversion rate of any lead, or the commercial success of any Campaign. All risk associated with the actual provision and receipt of Gifts rests solely with the Vendors and Consumers involved in that exchange.
3.3 No Guarantee of Results
Buyya makes no guarantee, express or implied, regarding the number of Consumers who will receive notifications at any given intersection, the number of Claims, Redemptions, or lead responses generated by any Campaign, or the commercial value of any introduction facilitated through the Platform. Consumer behavior, network conditions, device settings, geographic density, and market saturation are all variables outside Buyya's control. Sponsor's decision to purchase Wallet credits or an Intersection Lock is made at Sponsor's sole risk.
4. Gift Terms
4.1 Non-Transferability and No Cash Value
Gifts are personal to the Consumer who claimed them and are non-transferable. Gifts have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for currency, cannot be sold, bartered, or transferred to any other person, and are not redeemable for cash, check, or credit outside the Platform.
4.2 Claim Window and Expiration
A Gift that is Claimed but not Redeemed within twenty-four (24) hours of the Claim timestamp shall automatically expire. Upon expiration: (a) the Consumer permanently forfeits the Gift and all rights associated with it; (b) the Wallet funds reserved at the time of Claim are permanently retained by Buyya; and (c) Buyya shall have no obligation to refund, credit, or otherwise compensate the Sponsor for the forfeited Wallet funds. By using the Platform and funding a Wallet, Sponsors expressly and irrevocably acknowledge and agree to this expiration and retention policy as a fundamental, non-negotiable term of the commercial arrangement between the Sponsor and Buyya. This policy reflects Buyya's costs associated with platform operations, infrastructure, geofencing services, notification delivery, and administrative overhead incurred at or before the time of Claim, regardless of whether a Redemption occurs.
4.3 Consumer Claim Limits
Consumers may claim no more than three (3) Gifts per calendar day across the entire Platform and no more than one (1) Gift per intersection per calendar day. Buyya reserves the right to modify these limits at any time. Buyya further reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to throttle Gift notifications, reduce Claim limits, or permanently ban any Consumer who exhibits conduct indicative of abuse, including but not limited to repeatedly claiming Gifts without completing Redemptions, circumventing Geofence requirements, or manipulating location data.
4.4 Vendor Responsibility for Gifts
All physical Gifts are the responsibility of the applicable Vendor. Buyya does not inspect, certify, or take custody of any Gift at any time. Any dispute regarding the quality, quantity, description, fitness, or safety of a Gift must be resolved directly between the Consumer and the Vendor. Buyya shall bear no liability whatsoever for any harm, injury, illness, property damage, or other loss arising from any Gift provided by a Vendor.
5. Sponsor Wallet and Payment Terms
5.1 Wallet Loading and Processing
Sponsors may load funds into their Wallet by selecting a funding tier on the Platform dashboard and completing payment through Stripe, Inc., Buyya's third-party payment processor. By making a Wallet Load you agree to Stripe's terms of service in addition to these Terms. Buyya is not responsible for errors, delays, or failures caused by Stripe or any other payment processor, financial institution, or network provider. All Wallet Loads are denominated in United States dollars.
5.2 Absolute Non-Refundability of Wallet Loads
ALL WALLET LOADS ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES ONCE THE PAYMENT HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND CONFIRMED. By completing a Wallet Load you acknowledge and irrevocably agree that:
- You are purchasing prepaid platform credits, not a product or service with a right of return;
- No refund will be issued for any unused Wallet balance under any circumstances, including but not limited to your dissatisfaction with Campaign results, lead quality or conversion rate, changes in your business, voluntary account closure, involuntary account termination, Platform downtime, or any other reason whatsoever;
- Unused Wallet balances remaining at the time of account termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, are permanently forfeited and retained by Buyya;
- Wallet credits have no monetary value outside the Platform and cannot be transferred to another account.
The sole exception to this section is a confirmed duplicate charge caused by a verified technical error by Buyya. In that event, Sponsor must notify Buyya at buyya.reviewer@gmail.com within seven (7) calendar days of the charge. Buyya will investigate and, if a duplicate charge is confirmed, will correct the error by crediting the Wallet or issuing a refund at Buyya's discretion. Chargebacks, payment reversals, or disputes filed with a financial institution or payment processor without first contacting Buyya and allowing a minimum of five (5) business days for resolution constitute a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of any remaining Wallet balance, and Buyya's pursuit of all available legal remedies.
5.3 Expired and Unclaimed Gift Funds — Buyya Retention Policy
When a Consumer Claims a Gift, Buyya reserves the corresponding Wallet funds equal to the gift price specified in the active Campaign. Reserved funds are no longer available for other Campaigns during the Claim Window. If the Consumer does not complete a Redemption within the Claim Window and the Gift expires, the reserved funds are permanently retained by Buyya as compensation for platform services rendered and costs incurred in connection with the notification delivery, geofencing operation, and gift management infrastructure. Sponsors have no right, title, or claim to reimbursement or credit for funds retained upon Gift expiration. THIS POLICY IS A MATERIAL, ESSENTIAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SPONSOR AND BUYYA AND IS ACCEPTED BY SPONSOR AS A CONDITION OF PLATFORM ACCESS.
5.4 Intersection Lock Fee
5.4.1 What the Lock Fee Provides
Payment of the Lock Fee of $197 (U.S. dollars) grants the Sponsor the exclusive right to operate gift Campaigns at a single, Sponsor-selected geographic intersection for the Initial Lock Period of ninety (90) calendar days from the date the lock is confirmed. During the lock period, no other Sponsor may operate Campaigns at that intersection. The Lock Fee is a fee for exclusivity rights and operational infrastructure provisioning and does not include any Wallet credits. Wallet funds must be loaded separately.
5.4.2 Absolute Non-Refundability of Lock Fee
THE LOCK FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT EXCEPTION. By paying the Lock Fee you acknowledge and irrevocably agree that:
- No refund of the Lock Fee will be issued for any reason, including but not limited to: dissatisfaction with Consumer traffic at the intersection, change of business address or territory, business closure, withdrawal from the Buyya platform, disagreement with these Terms, technical difficulties unrelated to Buyya, acts of God, force majeure events, or any other cause;
- The Lock Fee compensates Buyya for the opportunity cost of removing the intersection from availability to other Sponsors for the duration of the lock period, as well as for administrative and infrastructure costs associated with provisioning the lock;
- The Lock Fee is separate from and in addition to any Wallet funds required to run Campaigns during the lock period.
5.4.3 Automatic Renewal
Upon expiration of the Initial Lock Period, and upon expiration of each Renewal Period thereafter, the Intersection Lock will automatically renew for a successive Renewal Period of ninety (90) calendar days unless the Sponsor cancels the lock via the dashboard prior to the renewal date. Buyya will use reasonable efforts to send a renewal reminder email to the Sponsor's registered email address no fewer than seven (7) calendar days prior to each renewal date. Failure by Buyya to deliver such reminder shall not relieve Sponsor of the obligation to cancel prior to renewal. Renewal charges are processed at the rate in effect at the time of renewal.
5.4.4 Forfeiture for Inactivity
An Intersection Lock shall be automatically released, and the Lock Fee shall be permanently forfeited without refund, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
- The Sponsor's Wallet balance reaches zero and is not replenished to a balance sufficient to fund at least one (1) Gift within seven (7) calendar days;
- The Sponsor has no active Campaign running at the locked intersection for fourteen (14) or more consecutive calendar days, regardless of Wallet balance;
- The Sponsor's account is suspended or terminated by Buyya for any reason; or
- The Sponsor voluntarily cancels the lock or closes the account.
Upon forfeiture, the intersection is immediately released and made available to other Sponsors. Buyya will use reasonable efforts to provide advance written notice by email before releasing a lock for inactivity, but Buyya bears no liability for any failure to provide such notice and Sponsor's lock remains subject to forfeiture regardless of whether notice was received.
5.4.5 Intersection Exclusivity Scope
An Intersection Lock grants exclusivity at one (1) specific geographic intersection only. The lock does not extend to any adjacent intersections, nearby streets, the Vendor's physical premises, or any other geographic area. Only one Sponsor may hold an active Intersection Lock at any given intersection at any time. Locks are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Buyya does not guarantee that any particular intersection will remain available at the time a Sponsor attempts to lock it.
5.5 Pricing Changes
Buyya reserves the right to modify the Lock Fee, Wallet Load tiers, renewal fees, and any other pricing at any time with thirty (30) days advance notice to active Sponsors via email. Price changes will not apply retroactively to locks already in effect but will apply upon the next renewal.
5.6 Taxes
Sponsor is solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any taxes, levies, or duties applicable to their use of the Platform, their business activities, or any payments made to or received through the Platform. Buyya makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any transaction and shall not be responsible for any tax liability arising from Sponsor's use of the Platform.
6. Vendor Terms
6.1 Reimbursement
Vendors will be reimbursed by Buyya for each valid, in-person Redemption at the gift price specified in the active Campaign at the time of Redemption. During the beta phase of the Platform, reimbursement is processed manually on a weekly basis via Zelle, Venmo, ACH, or such other method as agreed between Buyya and the Vendor. Buyya reserves the right to transition to an automated payment mechanism at any time upon providing thirty (30) days advance notice to active Vendors. Reimbursement is contingent on Vendor providing accurate redemption records and cooperating with any verification process required by Buyya.
6.2 Vendor Obligations
Vendors must: (a) honor all valid Redemption codes presented by Consumers in good faith during the Campaign period; (b) maintain sufficient inventory to fulfill Gifts at the frequency specified in active Campaigns; (c) not charge Consumers any amount in connection with a Gift Redemption; (d) accurately mark Gifts as redeemed in the Platform at or before the time of the physical exchange; and (e) cooperate with Buyya's reasonable audit and verification requests.
6.3 Vendor Prohibited Conduct
Vendors are strictly prohibited from: (a) marking Gifts as redeemed without actually providing them to the Consumer; (b) providing materially inferior, expired, or unsafe items in fulfillment of a Gift; (c) charging Consumers fees, tips, or any other amounts as a condition of Gift Redemption; (d) sharing Consumer information with third parties; or (e) using the Platform for any fraudulent or deceptive purpose. Violation of this section constitutes a material breach of these Terms and will result in immediate removal from the Platform, forfeiture of all pending reimbursements, and may subject the Vendor to civil liability to Buyya and to affected Consumers.
6.4 Preferred Vendor Placements
Preferred Vendor placement fees, if any, are non-refundable after activation. Buyya may remove a Vendor from preferred placement status at any time for violations of these Terms, Consumer complaints, or quality concerns without refund.
7. Messaging Rules and CRM
7.1 Sponsor Messaging Rights
Upon a successful Redemption, the Sponsor receives the Consumer's first name and phone number and the right to send one (1) introductory message to the Consumer through the Buyya in-app messaging interface. This introductory message must be professional, relevant to the Sponsor's stated business category, and must not constitute spam, harassment, solicitation of personal information, or any prohibited content as described in Section 7.3 below.
7.2 Messaging After Response
Free-form messaging between a Sponsor and a Consumer is unlocked only after the Consumer sends a reply to the Sponsor's introductory message. If no reply is received, the Sponsor may send one (1) additional follow-up introductory message per redemption per thirty (30) calendar day period. All messages are subject to review, moderation, and removal by Buyya at any time without notice.
7.3 Prohibited Message Content
The following content is strictly prohibited in all messages sent through the Platform:
- Unsolicited commercial solicitations unrelated to the Sponsor's stated professional category;
- Spam, bulk messaging, or automated or scripted communications;
- Harassment, threats, intimidation, or abusive language;
- Discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected class;
- Sexually explicit, obscene, or pornographic content;
- False, fraudulent, or materially misleading representations about the Sponsor's business, qualifications, services, or pricing;
- Requests for sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, bank account information, or government identification numbers;
- Content that violates any applicable federal, state, or local law, including but not limited to the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and applicable state consumer protection statutes;
- Any content that impersonates any person or entity or misrepresents the Sponsor's affiliation with any person or entity.
7.4 Message Moderation and Flagging
Consumers may flag any message for review by Buyya at any time. Buyya reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review, delay, remove, or block any message in its sole discretion. Buyya's failure to remove any particular message shall not be construed as an endorsement of its content or a waiver of Buyya's right to remove it at a later time. Buyya shall not be liable to any User for the content of messages sent by other Users through the Platform.
8. Consumer Location Data and Privacy
8.1 Location Permission Requirement
The Buyya Consumer application requires access to the Consumer's precise device location, including background location access, in order to detect proximity to active Geofences and deliver Gift notifications. By granting location permissions to the Buyya application, you consent to the continuous collection, processing, and use of your precise geolocation data while the application is installed and location permissions are active.
8.2 Use of Location Data
Buyya uses Consumer location data exclusively for the following purposes:
- Detecting when a Consumer's device enters or exits a Geofence associated with an active Campaign;
- Delivering push notifications regarding available Gifts near the Consumer's location;
- Recording zone-entry events for Campaign attribution and analytics;
- Improving the accuracy and reliability of the Geofencing system.
8.3 Restrictions on Location Data Use
Buyya does not sell Consumer precise location data to third parties. Buyya does not share Consumer precise location data with Sponsors. Buyya does not use Consumer location data for third-party advertising profiling. Sponsors receive notification that a Consumer in their geofenced area has claimed a Gift but are never provided with the Consumer's specific geographic coordinates.
8.4 Revoking Location Permissions
Consumers may revoke location permissions at any time through their device settings. Revoking background location permission will prevent the application from delivering Gift notifications when the application is not in the foreground. Revoking location permissions entirely will prevent the application from functioning as designed. Buyya is not responsible for missed Gift opportunities resulting from revoked location permissions.
8.5 Privacy Policy
Buyya's collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at giftd.vercel.app/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy with respect to the processing of personal data, the Privacy Policy shall control.

14. Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
14.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal Dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to contact Buyya at buyya.reviewer@gmail.com with a written description of the Dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. The parties agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of such notice before either party may initiate formal proceedings. This informal resolution requirement is a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation.

Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 14.5, all Disputes that cannot be resolved informally pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as applicable, then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The seat of arbitration shall be Douglas County, Nebraska. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to appeal except as permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1 et seq. (the “FAA”). You understand and agree that by agreeing to binding arbitration you are waiving your right to a trial by jury.
14.3 Arbitration Fees
The AAA's filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated in accordance with the applicable AAA rules.

IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION 14.2 SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO THAT DISPUTE ONLY.
14.5 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding Section 14.2, either party may seek emergency injunctive, temporary restraining order, or other provisional equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Douglas County, Nebraska, without first completing the informal resolution process, where necessary to prevent irreparable harm, including but not limited to: unauthorized use of Buyya's intellectual property, breach of confidentiality obligations, or violation of the Prohibited Uses in Section 10. Seeking provisional relief does not waive either party's right to arbitrate the underlying Dispute.
14.6 Time Limit on Claims
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM AROSE. CLAIMS NOT FILED WITHIN THAT PERIOD ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED, REGARDLESS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
14.7 Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You have the right to opt out of the binding arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Sections 14.2 through 14.5 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to buyya.reviewer@gmail.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. If you opt out, all Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Douglas County, Nebraska, and you and Buyya each irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms. If you do not opt out within the thirty (30) day period, you will be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions.
14.8 Mass Filing
If twenty-five (25) or more individuals represented by the same counsel or coordinating organization file arbitration demands raising substantially similar claims against Buyya within a ninety (90) day period, the AAA shall consolidate those demands into batches of up to fifty (50) claims per batch and resolve each batch as a single consolidated arbitration proceeding with one set of filing and administrative fees per side per batch. This provision does not authorize class or representative arbitration and does not alter the requirement that each claim be resolved on an individual basis.
15. Governing Law
These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or related to them or the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nebraska. To the extent any court proceeding is permitted hereunder, the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Douglas County, Nebraska, and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in those courts.
