By creating an account, clicking “I Agree,” or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
2. Eligibility & Accounts

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Services. If you are between 16 and 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will promptly delete it. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at [email protected].
2.2 Account Registration

- Create only one account per person;
- Not transfer your account to another person without our prior written consent; and

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. BargainArmy is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.
2.3 Geographic Restrictions
The Services are intended for users located in the United States. BargainArmy does not currently offer Services or support user accounts from Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or countries within the European Economic Area (EEA). By using the Services, you represent that you are not located in a restricted jurisdiction.
3. Affiliate Disclosure & FTC Compliance
BargainArmy participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click certain links on the Services and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission or referral fee from the merchant at no additional cost to you. Specifically:
- BargainArmy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- We also participate in affiliate programs with Walmart, eBay, and other retailers and affiliate networks.
- Some deals or listings may be sponsored or promoted by merchants who pay BargainArmy for placement or increased visibility. Such placements may be labeled “Sponsored” or “Featured.”
- Affiliate and sponsorship relationships do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, or availability of any deal or product listed.
- Our full Affiliate Disclosure is available on our website.
By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept these disclosures.
4. Deals, Offers & Third-Party Content
4.1 Nature of Deals and Offers
The Services aggregate and display coupons, deals, discount codes, promotions, advertisements, and other offers (“Offers“) for products and services provided by third-party merchants, retailers, and service providers (each, a “Seller“). BargainArmy is an independent aggregator and is not a party to any transaction between you and a Seller.
4.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability
Offers are subject to change or expiration at any time without notice. BargainArmy makes no warranty, express or implied, that:
- Any Offer is currently valid, accurate, or available;
- Any listed price reflects the actual current price charged by the Seller;
- Any coupon or discount code will be accepted at checkout;
- Any described product or service is available for purchase; or
- The terms of any Offer have not changed since it was posted on the Services.
Always verify the current terms, price, and availability directly on the Seller’s website before making any purchasing decision.
4.3 Transactions Are Between You and the Seller
If you choose to accept an Offer, your transaction is solely between you and the Seller. BargainArmy is not responsible for:
- The quality, safety, legality, or fitness for purpose of any product or service;
- The accuracy of Seller listings or product descriptions;
- Any dispute between you and a Seller, including returns, refunds, or chargebacks;
- Order fulfillment or shipping;
- Any representations or warranties made by a Seller; or
- Any damage, loss, or injury resulting from a product or service you purchase through an Offer.
For disputes with Sellers, please contact the Seller directly or your payment processor.

Except as provided in Section 18.4, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (“Dispute“) will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in a court of law.

18.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following disputes are not subject to arbitration and may be brought in court:

You may opt out of the binding arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account username, email address, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, all Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you and BargainArmy consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

For any Dispute not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas.
19. General Provisions
19.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Affiliate Disclosure, and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BargainArmy regarding your use of the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
19.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, it will be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
19.3 Waiver
BargainArmy’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of these Terms must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of BargainArmy.
19.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. BargainArmy may assign these Terms, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision is void.
