User Registration When registering, Users have the option to select their favorite product types, designers, brands and businesses, in addition to selecting their personal sizes, price range, and location (collectively, "User Feed Information"). GFB will then showcase your results in a personal shopping product feed. Users agree to allow GFB to gather all of the User Feed information to showcase products that are pertinent to the User. Users also grant GFB permission to solicit Business registration based on User Feed Information. This DOES NOT include any of your personally identifiable information; we do this for the sole purpose of increasing the amount of matching product offerings for you. You always have the ability to update your User Feed Information.

User Activity: Users can also add friends, pictures, and videos; write reviews of businesses, along with participating in other unique interactions (such as commenting on products) through the Web Site. Users may not use their accounts for commercial purposes unless prior written approval of GFB is received. Users may not create duplicate user accounts.

Users agree not to take any actions for the purpose of manipulating or subverting the business or product reviews. Furthermore, users agree not to post any content that is false or that contains profanity, personal attacks upon individuals, ethnic slurs, personal information such as credit card numbers, material that violates another's legal rights, or other offensive or inappropriate content.

By posting a review, the poster thereby represents that the review is factual to the best of their knowledge, based on personal experience with the merchant or product reviewed, and irrevocably assigns all copyright and other intellectual property rights in the review to GFB. GFB may publish the review on its Web Site or elsewhere at its discretion and reserves the right to remove or alter the content of any review deemed offensive or in violation of its policies. All decisions by GFB in this regard are final.

Binding Sales All buyers are obligated to deliver appropriate payment for items purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance (such as force majeure). If you have any discrepancies, please first contact the seller before contacting GFB.

User Account Information: You must keep your account information up-to-date and accurate at all times, including a valid email address. Users are not permitted to use fake names or create multiple accounts. GFB retains the right to refuse, delete, or suspend any User Account for violating the letter or spirit of the TOU or for any other reason.

Facebook Integration Details: GFB may offer you the ability to connect your GFB profile with your Facebook account. This could be through registration, product commenting, activity feeds, or recommendations. You are not required to connect your profile to your Facebook account as this is offered as a value add service.
