Description of the Services

Our Services include special technology that allow you to view information about products and services listed for sale by goodbuy’s affiliates, in order for you to make informed choices about your purchasing options, including the nature and types of products and services and types of businesses you may want to purchase from.  We do not charge any fees for our Services to you.  

We will try and locate the most suitable products and services for you based upon your search criteria when you download our browser extension, from the affiliates and small businesses that are part of our affiliate program, and for which you have selected as affiliates you are interested in supporting and purchasing from (such as women-owned retailers, BIPOC-owned businesses, sustainable products, and the like), but we cannot be responsible if there are no options for products or services offered by your selected category of affiliate.  We may also send you email notifications regarding products and services that may be of interest to you based upon your selected categories.

While we attempt to provide accurate descriptions for the products and services offered by the affiliates, we will not be able to represent and warrant that the descriptions are accurate since they are provided by third parties.  The inclusion of any services or products within the Services also does not guarantee the availability of such services or products, and you will need to confirm any availability with the applicable affiliate. In most cases, you will be purchasing directly from the affiliates and their website, and you are not buying any products or services from these affiliates through the goodbuy Website. Therefore, any issues with the services or products purchased through any affiliates must be managed directly between you and the applicable affiliate, and goodbuy will not be responsible for or liable for any purchases made by you.

In order to improve our Services, we may track how you use the Services we provide, including whether you click-on links to affiliate websites, your actions on those affiliate websites, and whether you use the discount or coupon codes displayed by us.
