These Terms are between you and Tudu, hereinafter referred to “us”, “we”, “our”, and “Tudu”. Tudu is a company registered in Ontario, Canada.
OUR SERVICES
Our Website provides a way for you to purchase a package, hereinafter referred to as “the Experience”, containing different products and/or services, hereinafter referred to as "the Offer", from third party businesses. All Experiences provided by Tudu to you by means of your use of the Website are hereinafter referred to as “the Service".
OUR ROLE
Tudu does not provide the Offer, or operate any of the businesses. The provision of the Offer and fulfillment of any Offer by the business to you is subject to the agreement (to be) entered into between you and the business and the agreement entered into between the business and Tudu. It is up to the business to fulfill the Offer, which may be purchased as part of an Experience through the use of the Tudu Website.
Tudu only acts as an intermediary between you and the businesses, acting as the agent to create an Experience consisting of a number of businesses. The businesses will arrange and conclude the Offer. When you pay for an Experience on the Website, this extinguishes your debt owed to the business for that Offer.

The Website allows you to purchase an Experience, a package that contains a number of Offers. After a purchase, links will be provided in a confirmation e-mail. The Offers can be redeemed at the business locations when a code is entered by a staff member at the links provided. The business has the sole responsibility of fulfilling an Offer unless unforeseen circumstances occur. All sales are final. All businesses participating in a purchased Experience are bound under an agreement with Tudu to attempt to fulfill all verified Offers given that all terms and conditions are met (e.g., valid times for redemption of an Offer). If a business is unable to fulfill an offer, the business should provide compensation with an alternative offer. When an Experience is purchased, an e-mail message will be sent to you containing the links to redeem the offers included in the Experience, and directions between the locations.
