Terms of Service
The plain-English rules for using 99coupons.ai. What we promise, what we don't, and what we expect from you. No legal theatre.
These are the terms for using 99coupons.ai. We've tried to write them the way a human would explain them to another human over coffee, instead of the way a junior associate would draft them at 2am to bill an extra hour. If something here is unclear, write to us and we'll either explain it or fix the wording.
The site is operated by 99 Coupons Ltd. (referred to below as "we", "us", or "99 Coupons"). Our servers live in Germany, our editors live wherever the WiFi works, and our coupons come from merchants all over the internet.
1. Acceptance of terms
By browsing the site, copying a code, clicking a deal link, or subscribing to our newsletter, you're agreeing to these terms. If you don't agree, that's completely fine, but please don't use the site. There's no signup, no checkbox, no dark pattern. Just normal common-sense agreement by virtue of being here.
If you're using the site on behalf of a company or team, you confirm you have the authority to accept these terms for them too.
2. What the service is
99 Coupons is a free, public index of verified coupon codes and deals. We don't sell products. We don't take payments from shoppers. We don't run a marketplace. We're a directory and an editorial publication.
Every code we list has been tested by a human editor at checkout on the merchant's actual website. We also run automated AI verification between manual reviews to catch codes that quietly expire or break. The combination is the whole point of 99coupons.ai existing in the first place.
We currently don't offer user accounts. The only thing you can sign up for is our newsletter, and you can leave it any time with one click.
3. No warranty on codes
Here's the candid part: we cannot guarantee any specific code will work for you at any specific moment. We wish we could. We can't. Here's why:
- Merchants change exclusions without telling anyone ("valid on full-price items" becomes "valid on full-price items except these 47 brands")
- Codes get region-locked, currency-locked, or new-customer-locked overnight
- Stock runs out, promotions end early, marketing teams pull the plug
- Your cart total, country, or payment method can silently disqualify a code
What we promise is that the code worked when our editor tested it, and that we re-verify regularly. What we can't promise is that the merchant won't change the rules between our test and your checkout. Use codes at your own discretion, and if one fails, please report it so we can recheck.
4. Affiliate relationships
We make money through affiliate commissions. When you click a deal on our site, head to a merchant, and buy something, that merchant sometimes pays us a small percentage. You pay the same price either way — the commission comes out of the merchant's margin, not your wallet.
Full breakdown lives on our /disclosure page. The short version:
- Affiliate relationships do not influence which codes we list or how we rank them
- A code from a non-affiliate merchant gets the same editorial treatment as one from a partner
- If we ever recommend something specifically because it pays well, we'll say so out loud
This is how the lights stay on. We think being transparent about it is more useful than pretending we're a charity.
5. Acceptable use
Use the site like a normal human and you'll never need to read this section. For the small percentage of people who try to be clever:
- Don't scrape at scale. A few requests an hour for personal use is fine. Industrial-scale scraping that hammers our servers will get your IP blocked and may get a polite-but-firm email from us.
- Don't republish our editorial content without credit. Our coupon descriptions, FAQs, blog posts, and ranking commentary took real human effort. If you want to quote a sentence or two with a link back, go ahead. Copy-pasting entire pages into your AI training set or competing site is not okay.
- Don't game user voting or reporting. When we add upvotes or "this worked / didn't work" buttons, don't write a bot to spam them.
- Don't submit fake reports of broken codes to push your preferred deal up the page or sabotage a competitor. It wastes our editors' time and we will notice patterns.
- Don't try to break the site. No probing for vulnerabilities, no injection attempts, no creative URL fuzzing. Security researchers acting in good faith should email us first.
6. Intellectual property
Our original editorial content — coupon descriptions, store overviews, FAQs, blog posts, comparison tables, the site design and code — is copyright 99 Coupons Ltd. You may quote small portions with attribution; you may not bulk-copy or republish.
Brand names, logos, trademarks, and product imagery belong to their respective owners. We display merchant logos to help you recognize the store you're looking for. This isn't a partnership or endorsement claim — it's just visual signposting.
If you're a brand owner and want a logo removed or updated, email us and we'll handle it quickly.
7. Third-party links
Most of the value of this site is in the outbound links. When you click through to a merchant, you leave our site and our jurisdiction ends. We don't control:
- What the merchant charges, ships, refunds, or substitutes
- How the merchant handles your data, account, or returns
- Whether the merchant honors the discount your code is supposed to apply
- Customer service quality, delivery times, or product authenticity
If a merchant misbehaves, please tell us — we may stop listing them — but the actual dispute is between you and them.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, 99 Coupons Ltd. is not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from:
- A coupon code that doesn't work, expires early, or applies differently than expected
- Merchant errors, billing mistakes, shipping failures, or product issues
- Anything that happens on a third-party site we link to
- Temporary downtime or data inaccuracies on our end
Nothing in these terms limits liability that legally can't be limited — including fraud, gross negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Germany, since that's where our servers and primary operations are based. Any disputes will be handled in German courts where applicable.
If you're a consumer based in the European Union, you keep all the consumer protection rights guaranteed by EU law and the laws of your home country. Nothing in these terms overrides those rights, and we wouldn't want to even if we could.
10. Changes to these terms
The internet changes, merchant practices change, and occasionally laws change. When we update these terms in a material way — meaning anything that actually affects how you use the site or what we owe each other — we'll announce it through:
- An update notice posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date
- A note in the next newsletter we send out
Minor edits (fixing typos, clarifying wording, restructuring sections) happen quietly. Nothing here is ever applied retroactively to past visits.
11. Contact
Questions, complaints, copyright issues, security reports, broken-code reports we should escalate, or general feedback: legal@99coupons.ai.
A real human reads that inbox. We try to reply within a few working days. If you don't hear back within a week, assume your email got eaten by a spam filter and send it again — we'd rather get a duplicate than miss you.
