5. Members will be credited, subject to the terms and conditions enumerated in this Agreement, a percentage
of the net purchases made by you at one of the online merchants affiliated with
MyRebate (an "Affiliated Merchant").
The percentage will be enumerated on the MyRebate Web site as it relates to each Affiliated Merchant. The net
purchase is defined as the total amount paid to the merchant minus tax, gift wrapping, shipping, promotional
credits, returns, cancellations, and transaction fees or as the Affiliated Merchant defines on their respective
Web site and as is enumerated in their respective Affiliate Membership and/or Operating Agreement document,
whichever is less. All Affiliated Merchant Membership and/or Operating Agreements as they relate to their affiliate
or partner programs with MyRebate and which reside on the Affiliated Merchant's respective Web sites are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
6. As a Member, purchases made through MyRebate Affiliated Merchants will be deemed a "Qualified Purchase" and
will be subject to earn a discount if and only if all of the following criteria are satisfied: 1) "Cookies", both first and
third party (if applicable), must be enabled on your Web browser. 2) All potential Qualified Purchases must begin
by clicking on the Affiliated Merchant's link that appears on the MyRebate
Web site and being successfully connected
to the Affiliated Merchant's Web site based upon that click. Individuals who download the Moe Money Maker may
on occasion be excepted from the terms of section 6(2), as their browser will in some instances link directly to the
merchant through the correct link. The Moe Money Maker is only a shopping reminder service provided by
MyRebate; for reliability of tracking we recommend you start your shopping trip at the
MyRebate.com website. 3) MyRebate may, at
all times, route your request for a merchant site through specific links, in order to assure that the sale can be
tracked correctly. Any alteration of these links will invalidate your sale, which will not be deemed a Qualified Purchase.
7. The determination of whether or not a purchase made through an MyRebate
Affiliated Merchant is a "Qualified Purchase" is at the sole discretion of
MyRebate.
8. "Account Activation" is completed upon the making of a Qualified Purchase at any
MyRebate merchant site. In case of return or cancellation, MyRebate
retains the right to reverse account credit. Completed offers in the More Cash section of the site are not Qualified Purchases, and will not fulfill Account Activation.
9. Discounts awarded to Members are subject to adjustments for returns, cancellations, and other events. Such adjustments can be applied to Member accounts at any time by
MyRebate at its sole discretion. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to withdraw from the Program.
10. You may be taxed on your accrual of discounts, depending on the amount of discounts you accrue and the tax laws of federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
MyRebate may choose to provide you with those notices to you on occasion. In all instances, you will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your accrual or redemption of discounts.
11. The following purchases are not eligible for accrual or payment of discounts: Dell Computers: any purchase of Dell products and services in which the transaction is substantially completed by telephone or by a Dell salesperson. Priceline.com: only purchases of airline tickets and hotel reservations qualify for a discount. Prescriptions from all merchants are not eligible as well, due to Federal/State laws and regulations. Monthly Deliveries, such as Wine-of-the-month clubs and Pet foods, are not eligible for a discount unless all months are paid for up front through
MyRebate. Gift Certificates that are purchased at any of our merchants, with the exception of Spa Wish, are also not eligible for a discount. Referral and affiliate revenues will not include a percentage of monies placed in member discount accounts resulting from a special promotion. Most purchases that are picked up at a warehouse or a store location do not qualify for a cash discount.
12. It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that discounts have been properly credited and that your account balance is accurate. If you do not believe that a discount has been correctly credited to your accout you must wait at least 30 days but no more than 90 days after completing a Qualifying Purchase to contact
MyRebate Customer Care. Furthermore, all discounts earned by Members are subject to review. Necessary adjustments may be applied to Member accounts at any time by
MyRebate at its sole discretion. If you do not agree to adjustments made to your account, your only recourse will be to terminate your membership in the Program.
MyRebate reserves the right to terminate any account for abusive or fraudulent activity, or if the Member is no longer reachable at the e-mail address provided.
13. MyRebate is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any Affiliated Merchant, or any Affiliated Merchant withdrawal from the Program, or for any effect on accrual of discounts caused by such changes, discontinuance, or withdrawal.
MyRebate is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any special offer or coupon code at an Affiliated Merchant site. It is the Member's responsibility to make sure that all specials are valid. If you choose to use coupons and specials that are not listed on the
MyRebate site, we cannot guarantee that you will be eligible to receive an
MyRebate discount on your purchases.
14. The following promotions have been terminated as of October 18, 2001: - All Yahoo promotions dated May 1 - August 31, 2001 - All eTour promotions dated May 1 - August 31, 2001 - All LifeMinders promotions dated May 1 - August 31, 2001 Any purchases made after October 18, 2001 will not apply to these promotions, and no further promotional rewards will be paid.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE:
15. Money earned through the referral program will be paid along with regular discounts. Continued payments of referral monies will be made at the sole discretion of
MyRebate. The referral program may be ended, percentages reduced or the program modified in any way, at any point, and without notice, though all accrued referral monies will be paid in full if and when this occurs.
16. Accrued discounts will be dispersed to the Members on or around August 14th, November 15th, February 15th, or May 15th. In order for an accrued discount to be eligible for payment on the above dates, the Qualified Purchase must occur 45 days prior to the payment date (by June 30th for a August 14th payment, September 30th for an November 14th payment, December 31st for a February 15th payment, March 31st for an May 15th payment). Note that orders from Dell Home Systems (Computers), Dell Home Systems Software and Peripherals, and Dell Small Business will post to accounts immediately. However, due to the 45 day return policies of these merchants, discounts will only be paid out 60 days after purchases are posted to members' accounts. Qualified purchases from all other merchants which occur within the 45 day cutoff period will be paid on the payment date subsequent to the next payment date.
17. It is your responsibility to keep your account information current in order to facilitate the payment of your discounts. In the event that your information is not current at the time of payment, you forfeit all accrued discounts to
MyRebate.
ACCOUNT ACCESS AND PASSWORD:
18. Upon registration for the Program, you will select a password that will allow you to access your
MyRebate account (via the MyRebate Web site) to verify transfers, check account balances, and modify your account information.
19. You must be logged into MyRebate and enter your password to access your account. You may check your account status and recent earning history at any time you are able to access the
MyRebate Web site.
20. MyRebate is entitled to act on instructions received under your password. For security purposes, it is recommended that you memorize your password, and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your email address, password, account numbers, and other account information confidential.
MyRebate is not responsible for any credits or debits made to your account by someone else who uses your password.
NONTRANSFERABILITY:
21. No discounts earned or granted under the Program may be assigned or transferred to any third party except as expressly permitted by
MyRebate in writing. The sale or barter of any such discount, other than by
MyRebate, is expressly prohibited. Accrued discounts do not constitute property, and are not transferable: (i) upon death; (ii) as part of a domestic relations matter; or (iii) otherwise by operation of law. Any discounts assigned, sold, or otherwise transferred in violation of the Program Rules may be confiscated or canceled. Any violator of the foregoing restriction is subject to account termination, deduction of discounts from his or her account, and/or liability for damages and litigation and transaction costs.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION:
22. You authorize MyRebate to disclose to third parties information you have provided, or information that
MyRebate has obtained about your MyRebate account or shopping behavior: (i) to agents of
MyRebate or its affiliates, such as independent auditors, consultants or attorneys; (ii) to comply with government agency or court orders or requests; (iii) in providing aggregated and non-personalized marketing services for an advertising or merchant partner, or (iv) where it is necessary for redemption or transfer of your discounts. Further, you authorize
MyRebate to receive any account information from any Affiliate Merchant including, but not limited to information regarding the Qualified Purchase such as the products ordered, the order number, the time and date the Qualified Purchase occurred, the email address entered for the Qualified Purchase. You agree to hold the Affiliated Merchant harmless for any information disclosed to
MyRebate. If you choose to download the Moe Money Maker™, you allow
MyRebate to collect, use and sell non- personalized marketing information regarding your visits and purchases to internet commerce sites.
