Regarding Offers

While I have done my best to only post legitimate offers, coupons, specials, and freebies, the links listed on Luv a Bargain are administered by outside companies and/or individuals. They are available, to the best of my knowledge, at the time of publication. Luv a Bargain gives no warranties, expressed or implied, and is not responsible for damages incurred by the users of this site. All information is provided as is, and all trademarks are property of their respected owners.

All offers are for adults and any minors should consult their parents before giving out any information in order to receive offers over the internet. The links provided on this web site are for entertainment or informational purposes only.

Regarding Freebies

Luv a Bargain does not have any control over how and when users actually receive an offer. That is the sole responsibility of the merchant making the offer. Luv a Bargain does not have any direct connection with the merchants making the offers listed, nor do I endorse or take any responsibility of any kind for the offers listed on this site. They may limit the quantities of their offers, change them, or remove them at any time. Use your judgment and contact the companies at your own risk.

Regarding Spam

When completing offers for freebies or samples, you are automatically giving that company the right to send you emails. Please be aware that you will receive emails. Companies will send you every offer they have available in attempts to generate sales. That is the point of freebies and samples.

These emails ARE NOT SPAM. You have provided them with your email and they can legally email you. If these emails become an annoyance, you can opt out. The law requires that email recipients are given an opt-out method. Companies must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask to be removed from the list and not receive future email messages.
