Interested in Offering a Discount for your Goods or Services to City of San Antonio Employees?
If so, please fill out and submit the application online.
Once an application is received from either an individual or corporate vendor (a "vendor"), the application
is reviewed by the City of San Antonio Employee Discount Review Committee. Vendors must obtain application
approval and accede to the Discount Vendor Agreement in order to obtain final approval to enter the
Employee Discount Program. Once approved by the City of San Antonio, the vendor’s discount offer usually
is posted to the Employee Discount website at the beginning of each month.
Employee Discount Program Guidelines and Requirements:
1. The discount must be available to all employees, civilian and uniform, of the City of San Antonio
(individually referred to herein as "employee", and collectively, "employees").
2. The vendor offering the discount must be a reputable business as determined within the sole discretion
of the City of San Antonio.
3. The vendor offering the discount may not be a City of San Antonio employee.
4. The vendor offering the discount shall not provide a gift, favor or service exclusively to a City of
San Antonio employee that would result in the personal gain or benefit of that employee.
5. There is no vendor fee to participate in the Employee Discount Program; it is considered "free"
visibility for vendors. Therefore, City of San Antonio expects that vendor will provide quality savings
directly to City of San Antonio employees. Therefore, the discount must be specific to City of San Antonio
(or similar to other corporate/group discounts) and not substantially similar to other discounts offered
to the general public.
6. The vendor offering the discount must be appropriate for the website, as determined within the sole
discretion of the City of San Antonio. Vendor offers relating to any objectionable materials or services
will not be approved (i.e. firearms or explosives, pornography-related items or services, alcohol,
tobacco, gambling, illegal substances, etc.).
7. The vendor offering the discount is prohibited from direct employee solicitation in accordance with
City of San Antonio Administrative Directive 4.45 – Worksite Access for Non-City Sponsored
Business.
8. If employment verification is required, the following policy must be adhered to:
- An employee badge can only be presented by the employee and cannot be taken/removed from his/her
possession.
- The employee badge cannot be photo-copied/faxed or reproduced for maintaining records on the
individual or for any other purpose.
9. The City of San Antonio does not endorse any goods or services offered by vendors. Because of this,
vendors shall refrain from representing or implying to the City of San Antonio employees that the City of
San Antonio endorses vendor goods or services. Any arrangements, services or products purchased with this
employee discount program are the sole responsibility of, and are conducted strictly between, the vendor
and the employee. City of San Antonio assumes no obligation or liability resulting from any transaction.
10. Vendors will provide the following information on the City of San Antonio Employee Discount Program
vendor application: company and/or vendor name, business owner name, contact name, address, phone number and email,
discount offer details (i.e. description of goods and/or services, specific discount(s) offered, redemption process,
and effective dates), vendor URL and business Logo if applicable. Each product/service discount offering
must be provided for a period of no less than six (6) months unless for a special event. Special events
should be submitted more than 30 days in advance.
11. Either the City of San Antonio or the vendor may terminate a discount offer. Three (3) weeks' prior notice
by the vendor to the City of San Antonio will be required prior to termination. The City of San Antonio may
terminate and withdraw any discount at any time for any reason. All discounts will automatically expire upon
the expiration date entered for the offer or after 12 months. It is the vendor’s responsibility to re-establish
a new discount offer. Throughout the year, new vendors will be invited to participate in this Employee Discount
Program.
12. Under no condition whatsoever will the vendor have any right to use or authorize the use of any
City of San Antonio trademark, service mark, trade name or other intellectual property right otherwise
owned by City of San Antonio or its affiliates.
13. In performance of this agreement, the vendor agrees to comply with all Texas state and federal laws
and regulations regarding nondiscrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, gender, religion,
national religion, creed, marital status, age, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or the presence of any
sensory, mental, or physical disability in providing any benefits under the agreement.
14. Vendor shall defend, indemnify, hold and save harmless the City of San Antonio from all loss, damage,
liability, or expense (including expense of litigation) resulting from any actual or alleged injury or
death of any person, or from any actual or alleged loss of or damage to any property caused by or
resulting from any act or omission of the vendor relating to or in regard to the performance of this
agreement.
15. The party that checks "I agree" represents and warrants that he/she is authorized to enter into this
agreement on behalf of the vendor.
16. This agreement shall not become effective unless and until it is properly accepted by the City of
San Antonio.
