Loyalty Program Terms of Service

Effective [INSERT DATE]

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the use and access of the [insert Merchant corporate name] (“[Merchant]”, “we” “our” or “us”) loyalty rewards and customer engagement program made available through thanx.com/merchant and/or order.thanx.com/merchant (collectively, the “Site“) and as an application for mobile devices (our “App“) (collectively, the “Services”).  The Services are owned and operated on Merchant’s behalf by Thanx Inc. (“Thanx”), a third-party service provider of Merchant. Thanx is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and, when you agree to these Terms, both Merchant and Thanx will have the right to enforce these Terms against you, separately or jointly.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Certain Reward Opportunities (defined below) that are part of our Loyalty Program may be governed by additional terms and conditions which are incorporated herein by reference. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions for a particular Reward Opportunity, these Terms will apply.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible to enroll for and redeem Rewards, you must:

  • Be an individual person at least 18 years of age;
  • Register for an account;
  • Possess the authority and capacity to create a binding legal obligation in your state and/or country of residence; and
  • Not be a person barred from participating in the Loyalty Program under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.

The Loyalty Program is subject to all applicable laws and regulations and is VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

Creating an Account

In order to enroll for and redeem Rewards, you will have to create an account.

You may only create one account and it is non-transferable to a third party. When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself. You are responsible for safeguarding your account and are responsible for activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately if your account has been compromised.

Loyalty Program Participation

The means by which you can earn promotional rewards offered by us may include (i) a digital “punch card” experience, whereby you purchase a specified number of qualifying products or services or participate in specified activities (each a “Qualifying Action”) pursuant to the Reward Opportunity Terms; (ii) opportunities to earn points that may be redeemed for rewards (“Points”); and (iii) other similar experiences where eligible spending or activity will earn you rewards (collectively, “Rewards“).  You may be presented with offers to earn Rewards via email, mobile device notifications and other channels (“Reward Opportunities”). At any point in time you can opt-out of receiving additional information regarding Reward Opportunities through your account settings within the Services or as otherwise set forth in these Terms.

Qualifying Actions will help you progress toward earning Rewards (“Reward Progress“) and reaching the designated threshold (a “Reward Threshold“) indicated in the applicable Reward Opportunity Terms. When you reach a Reward Threshold, you will have access to the Rewards which can be redeemed as set forth in the applicable Reward Opportunities.

Important Notes About Your Cards and Transactions

By enrolling in Rewards and registering a payment card (“Linked Card”), you agree that the payment card network (e.g., AMEX, MasterCard or Visa) on which your payment card is issued may examine transactions (including returns) on your Linked Card to identify Qualifying Actions and share transaction data with [Merchant] and Thanx. We will use your information subject to the Privacy Policy available at [INSERT URL].

Not all payment cards are eligible for use to earn Rewards. For example, corporate purchasing cards, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, government-administered prepaid cards (including EBT cards), insurance prepaid cards, Visa Buxx and payment cards that are not network-branded or otherwise not processed through a payment network are not eligible.

If you use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for your purchases with your Linked Card, the transaction will not  count toward your ability to earn Rewards.

Reward Opportunity Terms.

At the time a Reward Opportunity is made available to you, Reward Opportunity specific terms (“Reward Opportunity Terms”) will be made available to you which may include details related to (i) what actions may be required to earn Rewards; (ii) what Rewards are available to you if you complete the actions required by the Reward Opportunity; (iii) expiration details relating to either Reward Progress (e.g., Points), or ability to redeem Rewards, as applicable; and (iv) how you can redeem your Rewards.

Reward Opportunity Terms for current Reward Opportunities may also be viewable on our web or mobile interface.

General Terms of Reward Offerings

While we partner with Thanx to deliver the Reward Opportunities and Rewards to you, Thanx does not provide any Reward Opportunities or Rewards to you, and all Rewards are provided by and redeemable only with [Merchant]. Thanx is not responsible for the Rewards or the terms under which Rewards are made available. For avoidance of doubt, Thanx is not responsible for any claims associated with the description of the Reward Opportunities, communications to you about Reward Opportunities or the [Merchant] Loyalty Program, Rewards or products or services offered by [Merchant] (collectively “[Merchant] Offerings”).

Rewards Expiration Will Vary.  You should review the Reward Opportunity Terms presented to you. Rewards will expire pursuant to  the Reward Opportunity Terms or as otherwise set forth in the section of these Terms entitled Termination, Account Cancellation or Suspension. You can view and track your balance and available Rewards through your account. 

  • Verifying Your Account. You are responsible for ensuring your Reward Progress earned from Qualifying Actions are properly credited to your account. It may take up to 7 days after a Qualifying Action is made for your Reward Progress or Reward to be viewable via your account. You should email [email protected] if it has been more than 7 days and the Reward Progress has not been applied to your account. You may be asked to provide additional, supporting information, as required, to facilitate a request to update your Reward Progress.  Requests received after 21 days of a Qualifying Action may not be eligible to be credited to your account. We are not responsible for investigating any Reward or Reward Progress request if you have not notified us within 21 days of the Qualifying Action. Your Rewards can also be reversed if any of the items you purchased in connection with a Qualifying Action are subsequently returned. We may also, at our discretion, delay any Reward or Reward Progress in order to validate or verify a Qualifying Action. Any attempt to earn Rewards through the purchase and return of merchandise in connection with a Qualifying Action will be considered possible grounds for termination of your account.

You acknowledge that:

  • Your accumulation of, and the redemption of, Rewards is subject to your compliance with these Terms (including any terms and conditions provided when you are presented with a Reward Opportunity);
  • We reserve the right to delay, withhold or invalidate accrual or redemption of Rewards in the event of technical, printing, production, distribution, or similar errors, potential fraudulent activity, or similar issues. Specifically, we can invalidate Rewards from your account with notice if we determine in our sole discretion that such Rewards were improperly credited to your account;
  • The Reward Opportunities, Reward Progress, and Rewards are intended for personal use only. Commercial use is prohibited;
  • Your use of the Services and your activities in connection with the Services must be lawful and in compliance with these Terms and you may not in any way inhibit any other user from using the Services;
  • Neither [Merchant] nor our service providers are responsible or liable for any unredeemed, unused or lost Rewards or Reward Opportunities;
  • Reward Progress and Rewards are not gift cards or gift certificates and do not constitute property, do not entitle you to a vested right or interest and have no cash value. Therefore, Points and Rewards are not redeemable for cash, transferable, salable or assignable for any reason. No cash will be exchanged for the unused portion of any member’s Rewards;
  • Unless otherwise expressly permitted, your redemption of Rewards in connection with the Loyalty Program cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts;
  • [Merchant] reserves the right to change, modify, discontinue or cancel the Loyalty Program or any Reward Opportunity, at any time and in our sole discretion, without notice to you; and
  • You are solely responsible for use of the Services and your Rewards. You may only have one account that is personal to you.

Your only remedy for a failure of a Reward is to receive the equivalent Reward by contacting  [email protected].

RELEASE OF LIABILITY

You acknowledge and agree that Thanx and its service providers are not a party to any disputes between you and [Merchant] and Thanx has no liability with respect to such disputes, including disputes relating to Reward Opportunities or Rewards.

You hereby release Thanx, and Thanx’s respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, assigns, and service providers (including AXP and any other payment card networks and payment processors) from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and damages of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Services and any disputes between you and [Merchant].
