4. Cash Back Earnings

Members will be awarded, subject to the terms and conditions enumerated in this Agreement, a percentage of the net purchases they make at the stores affiliated with and accessed via Shopscotch ("Shopping Partners"). The specific cash back payment associated with each Shopping Partner will be posted on shopscotch.com. The net purchase is defined as the total amount paid to the Shopping Partner minus tax, gift wrapping, shipping, promotional credits, returns, cancellations, and transaction fees, or as the Shopping Partner otherwise defines on their respective Web site. All Shopping Partner membership and/or operating agreements as they relate to their affiliate or partner programs with Shopscotch and which reside on the Shopping Partner's respective Web sites are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.


As a Member, purchases made through Shopscotch Shopping Partners will be deemed "Qualified Purchases" and will earn cash back if and only if all of the following criteria are satisfied. "Cookies", both first and third party (if applicable), must be enabled on your Web browser, and you must be logged into you Shopscotch account. All potential Qualified Purchases must begin by clicking on a Shopscotch link to the Shopping Partner. The Shopscotch link to a Shopping Partner must not be altered. All purchases must be started and completed in one shopping session after the member clicks through to a Shopping Partner via a Shopscotch link. If a purchase is completed during a different shopping session, it will not be considered a Qualified Purchase. Purchases must not use coupons provided by any party other than Shopscotch. Purchases from "Coupons Only" and "No Discount" Affiliated Merchants are not deemed a "Qualified Purchase."


The determination of whether or not a purchase made through a Shopscotch Shopping Partner is a "Qualified Purchase" is at the sole discretion of Shopscotch. All cash back rewards earned by Members are subject to review. Necessary adjustments may be applied to Member accounts at any time by Shopscotch 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. Shopscotch reserves the right to terminate any account for abusive or fraudulent activity, or if the Member is no longer reachable at the email address provided.


If a Shopping Partner fails to report a transaction to Shopscotch, or withholds payment to Shopscotch for any reason, Shopscotch reserves the right to cancel the cash back reward associated with that transaction. Cash back rewards 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 Shopscotch at its sole discretion. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to withdraw from the Program.


The appropriate Shopscotch cash back rewards will be posted to your account as "Pending" within 30 days of the date on which a Shopping Partner reports your transaction to Shopscotch. For a period of up to 90 days, your account will refer to the cash back earnings as "Pending." This time period is in regards to the Shopping Partner's process to reverse a transaction for return purposes. Once the reversal time period for a Shopping Partner has expired, your cash back earnings will be then be identified as "Redeemable," at which time you can request a payment redeeming your cash back earnings. You can view your balance and purchase history by clicking the profile link in the upper right corner of any page.


You may be taxed on your cash back earnings, depending on the amount of cash back rewards you earn and the tax laws of federal, state, and local jurisdictions. Shopscotch may choose to provide you with tax and other 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 cash back rewards.


There are a limited number of purchases that are not eligible for earnings or payment of cash back rewards. Be sure to check for any cash back exclusions on the specific Shopping Partner's page before purchasing. Please note Shopping Partners regularly change policies and if a Shopping Partner fails to report a transaction to Shopscotch, or withholds payment to Shopscotch for any reason, Shopscotch reserves the right to cancel the cash back reward associated with that transaction.


It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that cash back rewards have been properly credited and that your account balance is accurate. If you do not believe that a cash back reward has been correctly credited to your account, you must contact Shopscotch Customer Care within 120 days of the transaction; thereafter, no further adjustments can be made.


Shopscotch is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any Shopping Partner, or for any Shopping Partner withdrawal from the Program, or for any effect on accrual of cash back rewards caused by such changes, discontinuance, or withdrawal. Shopscotch is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any special offer or coupon code at a Shopping Partner 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 Shopscotch site, we cannot guarantee that you will be eligible to receive an Shopscotch cash back reward on your purchases.


5. Referral Earnings

Members can refer friends by entering their names and email addresses on the Web forms provided on the site. You may only refer friends who you know on a personal basis, and may not refer yourself, a nonexistent person, or any person who you may have reason to believe may take objection to being asked to participate in Shopscotch. A member you refer is considered "successfully joined" when he/she creates an account with Shopscotch for the Program.


Shopscotch reserves the right not to send any given referral an invitation email if the referral has opted out of receiving emails from Shopscotch, if Shopscotch believes that you are referring people you do not know personally or may be using the Program in a fraudulent manner, or for any other reason as determined in Shopscotch sole discretion.


Members will earn cash back based on your referrals' activity on the Shopscotch site. Specifically, Members will earn 10% of all cash back earned by referrals. Members have the ability to view referral earnings on the Shopscotch site in their account profile.


Shopscotch reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether any referral is valid and whether you have met the requirements to earn cash back as described above. Shopscotch may, in its sole discretion, discontinue or alter any aspect of the referral program and/or update or change these rules at any time, with or without notice, and without liability. Shopscotch may suspend or terminate your participation in the referral program at any time and for any reason. If Shopscotch determines, in its sole discretion, your actions violate or are otherwise inconsistent with these rules, Shopscotch reserves the right to terminate your Shopscotch membership, resulting in a forfeiture of all accrued and unpaid cash back earnings.


6. Payment

Money earned through the referral program will be paid along with regular cash back rewards. 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.


Shopscotch pays its members cash back earnings and other monetary awards when the member reaches the minimum redeemable amount, which is $25. Please note cash back from certain merchants cannot be paid according to the typical timeframe and must be held up to 90 days following purchase based on the Shopping Partner's return and payment policy. Shopscotch reserves the right to delay payment based on changes to Shopping Partners' policies and procedures at any time.


It is your responsibility to keep your account information current in order to facilitate the payment of your cash back and other monetary rewards. In the event that your information is not current at the time of payment, you forfeit all accrued cash back and other monetary rewards to Shopscotch. Shopscotch is not responsible for any misapplied payments or payments sent to the wrong address if these errors were caused by inaccurate email or contact information provided by you or your failure to update your account information for any changes.


7. Disclosure of Account Information

You authorize Shopscotch to only disclose to third parties information you have provided, or information that Shopscotch has obtained about your Shopscotch account or shopping behavior: (i) to agents, contractors, and licensees of Shopscotch 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 a Shopping Partner or other advertising client, or (iv) where it is necessary for redemption or transfer of your cash back or other monetary rewards. Further, you authorize Shopscotch to receive any account information from any Shopping Partner including, but not limited to information regarding purchases made, items searched for or added to your shopping cart, products ordered, order number, the time and date the purchase occurred, and the email address and other contact information entered for the purchase. You agree to hold the Shopping Partner harmless for any information disclosed to Shopscotch. You allow Shopscotch to collect and use non- personalized marketing information regarding visits and related to purchases made from internet commerce sites.


By signing up for membership at Shopscotch, you agree to receive communications that are account and membership related. For example, cash back confirmation, redemption confirmation, etc. Also, periodic shopping-related emails are sent that highlight coupons and special deals that are available to Shopscotch members. You can opt-out of receiving emails that are not account-related by either (i) visiting your account profile, or (ii) following the unsubscribe link on any of the emails. Since we need to communicate account information with you in order to operate our service, you cannot unsubscribe from account information emails. But rest assured, we don't send account emails unnecessarily. If you don't wish to ever hear from us, even if just to hear that we tracked your purchase and awarded you cash back, you can deactivate your account by contacting Customer Care.
