We may offer free trials, trial memberships, and discount introductory offers of the Service to allow customers to become familiar with the many benefits of the subscription plans we offer. These trials and introductory offers are available to new (first-time) customers only, limited to one per household, and cannot be combined with any other offer. These limited trials and introductory offers are only valid in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. A valid Card is required. WE AUTHORIZE THE CARD UP TO THE AMOUNT OF ONE MONTHLY FEE IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE ACCOUNT. We do not receive any payment from this transaction, even if your bank or credit card company temporarily holds the funds in your account.
We will begin charging your Card a monthly subscription fee at the then-current rate (plus any applicable taxes) on the first day following the end of your trial or introductory offer period. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR TRIAL OR INTRODUCTORY OFFER PERIOD TO AVOID HAVING YOUR CARD CHARGED.
During a free trial or introductory offer period, customers will not be eligible to receive free shipping on used game purchases and will not accrue GameDaily Rewards.
GameDaily free trials, trial memberships, and discount introductory offers are non- transferrable and may not be resold. GameDaily does not condone or permit the re- selling of free trials, trial memberships, or discount introductory offers privately or on auction/marketplace websites, and we are under no obligation to honor re-sold free trials, trial memberships, and discount introductory offer memberships. GameDaily also does not offer and is not required to provide customer support for issues that may arise from transactions involving the resale of GameDaily free trials, trial memberships, or discount introductory offers.
Your Service will continue in effect unless and until you properly cancel your membership or we terminate it. By joining the Service, you expressly agree that we are permitted to charge your Card on a monthly basis the subscription fee at the then-current rate (plus any applicable taxes) and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Service. The subscription fee will be billed in full on the first day of your paid subscription and on each monthly anniversary thereafter, unless and until you cancel your subscription. If your billing date lands on a day not contained in a given month, you will be billed on the last day of that month. For example, if your paid subscription began on August 31st, your next billing date would be September 30th.
As a courtesy to our customers, if your Card is within thirty (30) days of expiring, we may update your expiration date automatically by contacting your Card issuer directly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it remains your responsibility to maintain a current and valid Card. Even if your Card has expired, you authorize us to continue billing that Card and acknowledge that you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
GameDaily is not responsible for any additional bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, overdraft charges, or other fees resulting from charges made by us. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND WE DO NOT GIVE PRO-RATED REFUNDS IF CANCELLATION IS INITIATED DURING THE MIDDLE OF A BILLING CYCLE. We also reserve the right to change our fees and prices at any time, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will notify you in advance if we do so.
The GameDaily Site and Services may offer used, new, pre-purchase and pre-order items for sale. Prices and availability of products on the GameDaily Site and Services are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to limit purchase quantities. Dealer orders will not be accepted without prior written permission. Free shipping only applies to purchases of used games and is provided only to active paying members in good standing (not during a free trial period), unless stated otherwise in the course of a specific promotion.
GameDaily reserves the right to cancel any order placed through any portion of the GameDaily Site and Services.
Prices for used, new, pre-purchase and pre-order items are displayed on the GameDaily Site and Services as these items become available.
With respect to items placed into or saved to your shopping cart, we will confirm the total price of your order before you complete the checkout process, and authorize your Payment Method for the total price before it enters the fulfillment process; however, we do NOT charge your Payment Method until after your order has entered the fulfillment process unless it is a pre-purchase including an unreleased title. Your Payment Method is charged in full for pre-purchases when the order is placed.
From time to time, a small number of items may be mispriced. Errors will be corrected where discovered and GameDaily reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted.
If we discover a mispricing, we will do one of the following:
GameDaily will collect and remit sales tax on purchases as required by applicable law for transactions made through the GameDaily Site and Services. Sales tax charged is based on the ZIP code included in your shipping address. For sales of digital goods or other instances where a shipping address is not applicable, the sales tax charged is based on the ZIP code included in the billing address. At checkout, we will display the estimated sales tax for your order. This is only an estimate; the final sales tax charged for any purchase will be determined by your ZIP code at the time your order enters the fulfillment process and your Payment Method is charged.
Select products will be available to pre-order prior to their release dates (“Pre- Order”). Pre-ordering a product reserves your quantity of the product. Upon placing the order, your Card will be authorized for the total amount of the order. Your Card will be charged only after your order has entered the shipping process.
Other select products will be available to pre-purchase prior to their release dates (“Pre-Purchase”). Pre-Purchasing a product means your Card will be charged for the product upon placing the order.
The release date of a Pre-Order or a Pre-Purchase is subject to change, and we make no warranty that we will ship the item or have it available for download on the date of release stated at the time you place your order. Should the release date of a Pre- Order or Pre-Purchase change, we will notify you via email. You may also elect to cancel a Pre-Order at any time up until the time your Payment Method is charged through the Purchase History page under My Account. Pre-Purchases are non- cancellable and you may not cancel after you place the order.
Sometimes, the price of a Pre-Order may change. Should the price of an item change after you have placed a Pre-Order through any portion of the GameDaily Site and Services, we will send you an email to notify you of the change and ask you to confirm that you still wish to pre-order the item. If you do not confirm your Pre- Order, it will be cancelled. For a Pre-Purchase item, we will not adjust your price after the order has been placed.
GameDaily reserves the right to cancel a Pre-Order or a Pre-Purchase at any time. In the event a Pre-Order is cancelled by GameDaily , any and all charges for that Pre-Order product will be voided. In the event a Pre-Purchase is cancelled by GameDaily , we will refund the amount of the original charge for the product to your Payment Method.
GameDaily may issue coupons, currency for use on the GameDaily Site and Services (“GameDaily Dollars”), and/or fictional property representing virtual achievements (for example, badges or trophies) (collectively “GameDaily Property”) from time to time for reasons including but not limited to, special promotions, your participation in the Rewards Program (as described below), and your participation in a GameDaily -issued survey.
Coupons issued are valid for a limited time only and may include restrictions on which products qualify for use of the coupon. Percent-off coupons are applicable towards the unit price of qualifying items (exclusive of tax and shipping charges) and may not be combined with other offers. Shipping coupons may discount the shipping cost of your purchase when applied during the checkout process. Shipping coupons may be valid only for a specific shipping method which must be selected during checkout in order to qualify for use of the coupon. The actual discount resulting from a shipping coupon is determined during checkout based on the quantity of qualifying items in your order. From time to time, GameDaily may issue special-use coupons that are only available for limited-time use and expire less than 180 days from issuance. Coupons are not redeemable for cash, are non-transferable and may not be applied to past orders. Unused portions of redeemed coupons will be forfeited at the completion of the transaction.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY VALUE ATTRIBUTED TO SUCH DATA BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DATA, ACCOUNT HISTORY AND ACCOUNT CONTENT RESIDING ON GameDaily ’S SERVERS MAY BE DELETED, ALTERED, MOVED OR TRANSFERRED AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON IN GameDaily ’S SOLE DISCRETION, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE AND WITHOUT LIABILITY OF ANY KIND. GameDaily DOES NOT PROVIDE OR GUARANTEE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY VALUE, CASH OR OTHERWISE, ATTRIBUTED TO ANY DATA RESIDING ON GameDaily ’S SERVERS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GameDaily IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND OR COMPENSATION FOR THE GameDaily PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED GameDaily PROPERTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION GameDaily DOLLARS, WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE IS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.
Shipping prices are calculated as a single base price per shipment plus an incremental cost per each item included in the order. For Pre-Orders and Pre- Purchases, each pre-ordered and pre-purchased item is a separate shipment and will incur a separate base shipping price cost in addition to the incremental item shipping cost.
We offer several methods of shipping. Certain U.S. addresses and P.O. boxes are not serviceable by all shipping methods. If your address does not qualify for certain shipping methods, you will be notified during the checkout process.
If a physical item that you purchase from the GameDaily Site and Services is not operational (and it has not been damaged by you) and you notify us within fourteen (14) days of the shipping date, we will, as your sole remedy, refund your money (excluding shipping costs) subject to the conditions below.
Purchases of physical items from the GameDaily Site and Services may be returned for a refund provided all of the following conditions are met:
You’re contacted GameDaily customer service to inform us of your damaged item within fourteen (14) days of the shipping date. You will then receive a return authorization number (RMA). Returned items are received by GameDaily with an RMA in their full, undamaged original packaging.
If the preceding conditions are met, a refund will be provided in accordance with the following:
If GameDaily receives the returned item within thirty (30) days of original shipping date, you will receive a full refund of the purchase price paid, less any applicable shipping costs. If GameDaily receives the returned item within thirty-one (31) to sixty (60) days of original shipping date, you will receive a refund equal to 80% of the purchase price paid, less any applicable shipping costs.
Returns of new or used items will not be accepted more than sixty (60) days after the original shipping date.
If we are able to identify a CD, DVD, game or other item inadvertently submitted to us as a rental return, we will make a reasonable attempt to return the item to the sender. You hereby release us from any liability arising from the receipt and attempted return of such items.
Gift certificates must be bought and redeemed directly through the Website, and may only be used toward the purchase of a Service subscription. Gift certificate recipients will need a valid Card to activate their gift subscription. The recipient’s Card will only be authorized, it will not be charged. Unless the recipient cancels prior to the end of the gift subscription period, GameDaily will begin to charge the recipient’s Card for monthly subscription fees (plus applicable taxes) at the completion of the gift subscription period. WE DO NOT GIVE PRO-RATED REFUNDS IF CANCELLATION IS INITIATED DURING THE MIDDLE OF A BILLING CYCLE.
Gift certificates are not redeemable for purchases of non-subscription products from the Website or purchases from our partners. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, gift certificates cannot be used to purchase additional gift certificates, are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund. GameDaily is not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates. We retain the right to close customer accounts and request alternative forms of payment if a fraudulently obtained gift certificate is redeemed.
Gift certificates are non-transferrable beyond the original gift recipient and may not be resold. GameDaily does not condone the re-selling of gift certificates privately or on auction/marketplace websites, and we are under no obligation to honor re-sold gift certificate memberships. GameDaily also does not offer and is not required to provide customer support for issues that may arise from transactions involving the resale of GameDaily gift certificates.
Federal law limits your liability for unauthorized charges to your account. The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) states that your credit card company (creditor) cannot hold you liable for more than $50 in the unlikely event a fraudulent charge occurs on your account. GameDaily will pay up to $50 of your liability if your Card is used fraudulently at the Service.

GameDaily reserves the right to do any of the following, at any time, without notice:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GameDaily PARTIES, OR ANY OF THEM, BE LIABLE (JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY) TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND AND HOWEVER CAUSED, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS, WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE, AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OR ALL OF THE GameDaily SITE AND SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, GAMES) OR THE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GameDaily PARTIES, OR ANY OF THEM, BE LIABLE (JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY) TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE, GAME CONSOLE, OR OTHER EQUIPMENT ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY GAMES. WHILE GameDaily WILL MAKE A REASONABLE EFFORT TO RETURN ANY CUSTOMER’S PROPERTY IT RECEIVES INADVERTENTLY, GameDaily WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OF OR DAMAGE TO SUCH PROPERTY. IF ANY APPLICABLE AUTHORITY HOLDS ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF USE, GameDaily IS FOUND TO BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE GameDaily SITE AND SERVICES OR THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GameDaily , ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (1) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO YOUR CLAIM, AND (2) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree that the provisions contained in this section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and/or your account, or of discontinuation of all or any portion of the GameDaily Site and Services.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the GameDaily Parties and the Moderators from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from or related to:
You agree that the provisions contained in this section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and/or your account, or of discontinuation of all or any portion of the GameDaily Site and Services.
Any claim or dispute between you and GameDaily that arises in whole or in part from all or any portion of the GameDaily Site and Services or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (a “Dispute”) shall be decided exclusively by binding arbitration as set forth in this section, and not by courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision and that you and GameDaily are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. YOU AND GameDaily AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If you elect to seek arbitration in connection with a Dispute, you must first send to GameDaily , by certified mail, a written notice of the claim (“Notice”) to the GameDaily address set forth at the end of this Agreement. If GameDaily elects to seek arbitration in connection with a Dispute, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the address used for your GameDaily account.
A Notice, whether sent by you or by GameDaily , must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If GameDaily and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or GameDaily may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by GameDaily or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after GameDaily receives Notice that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to GameDaily at the address set forth at the end of this Agreement. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless GameDaily and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, GameDaily agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of GameDaily ’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if GameDaily did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then GameDaily will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
