Are there limits on Downtown Dollars?
Downtown Dollars will have an expiration date depending upon the group or individual receiving this downtown specific monetary substitute. For example, if a group is visiting for a conference consisting of only a day or two, those dollars may be limited to the dates the attendees are in town. Other expiration dates could be three months, six months, but no longer than 1 year from issuance.
Downtown Dollars are non-refundable, non-transferable, and they cannot be reissued.
Businesses are NOT required to give change for Downtown Dollars. Despite how much is spent by the customer, the rest of the money goes to the merchant to ensure all revenue generated by Downtown Dollars stay local.
