What is HipO?


	HipO is the deal of a lifetime. We leverage the collective buying power of the 50 million people in Hip-Hop to negotiate drop dead prices, thereby providing significant deals to the culture. It´s a simple way for Hip-hop to endorse products and services and in turn for merchants to offer products and services at drop-dead discounts. Each day, HipO features incredible deals for at least 50% off the value price in your city. You have 24 hours or sometimes more to purchase the deal before the opportunity passes you by. Deals range from the best of sneakers, apparel, eateries and restaurants, electronics, music, nightspots, concert tickets, studio sessions, and entertainment events in your city, to name a few. Our unique HipO offers clearly demonstrate the Power of Hip-Hop and are truly the Deal of a Lifetime!

Where did the name HipO come from and what does it mean?


	The term HipO was derived from the word Hip-hop. We wanted something cool and hip that fits in with the Hip-hop culture so, we took each "single" letter from the word Hip-Hop in the exact sequence in the word Hip-hop, hence the term HipO was born. The term HipO simply means "The Deal of a Lifetime".

I don't think I will be able to use my HipO Deal for a couple months. Is that okay?

	No, you must use the full value of the HipO Deal in one visit, unless the voucher says otherwise. Vouchers are non-negotiable.

Can I combine my HipO Deal with other specials offered by the same merchant?


	I wouldn't count on this! Vouchers normally cannot be combined with other offers.

I really like last weeks HipO Deal on Nike Sneakers. Can I still buy that?


	Unfortunately, no! You must purchase the HipO Deal within the 24-48 hours it is featured on HipO. But I am sure last Week's merchant would appreciate your business anyway!
