Elements of the Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified by us or Merchants from time to time. Your use of the Service is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference.

2. Eligibility. The Service and AppCard Properties are available only to individuals who are 13 years of age or older. By accessing the AppCard Properties and/or using the Service you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years of age and your use of the AppCard Properties and/or Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

4. Merchant Loyalty Programs. Loyalty Programs are offered by Merchants and provide Members the opportunity to receive from the Merchant issuing the Loyalty Program, certain credits, awards, coupons, cash back, discounts and/or other promotional offers to use towards Merchant goods and services as described herein.
a. The Merchant is the sole and exclusive offerer, issuer and provider of the Merchant’s Loyalty Program, including all the Loyalty Program’s awards, gifts, cash-back, rebates, loyalty tier awards, and other rewards (“Rewards”) and its promotional offers, discounts, events and incentives (“Offers”), whether exclusive to Member or otherwise. Although certain Rewards or Offers may be processed by AppCard, AppCard is not a provider or issuer of any Loyalty Program, Reward or Offer. Each Loyalty Program is specific to the Merchant that issues it, and any corresponding Rewards and incentives may not be used for goods or services from any other Merchant (unless specified by the issuing Merchant). The issuing Merchant is solely responsible for its Loyalty Program, including for the quality of the goods and services obtained through the Loyalty Program, for ensuring that all Offers and Rewards, including redemption of Rewards, are in compliance with all Federal, State or local laws applicable to Loyalty Programs, Rewards, and Offers, and for any liabilities, injuries, losses or damages Member may suffer in connection with use of the Merchant’s Loyalty Program. You hereby expressly agree that AppCard is not responsible for any Merchant Loyalty Program, Reward, or Offer, or for any other matter relating to a Merchant’s Loyalty Program and that AppCard is not responsible for redemption or fulfillment of any Merchant Loyalty Program Reward or Offer. Merchant may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cancel, change, suspend or modify any aspect of its Loyalty Program, including the Rewards and/or Offers offered or available, at any time.
b. Unless expressly allowed by the Merchant, Rewards and Offers cannot be combined with any other offers, certificates or promotions. Additional eligibility requirements may apply for certain Rewards and/or Offers, at the discretion of Merchant, and you agree not to use any Reward or Offer if you do not meet all the eligibility criteria specified by the Merchant. The Merchant is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and accepted practices with respect to offering, issuing, advertising, and/or redeeming Rewards and Offers.
c. Rewards and Offers may only be applied to goods or services sold by the Merchant issuing the Reward or Offer, unless otherwise stated in the offer. Rewards may not be applied to delivery, processing or handling fees. If the Merchant is a restaurant, Rewards may not be applied to gratuities, tax, or, unless expressly permitted by the Merchant, to alcoholic beverages. If the Merchant is a restaurant and issues Offers for or that include alcoholic beverages, or permits use of Rewards for alcoholic beverages, the laws in certain states or counties may restrict or limit redemption of Rewards and usage of Offers for alcoholic beverages.
d. Rewards and Offers are only available as specified by the Merchant and may be limited or restricted by conditions imposed by the Merchant, including, but not limited to, time of use restrictions (such as day of week and hours of day), expiration dates, number of times you can use an Offer, total number of available Offers, etc. Unless otherwise specified by the Merchant, Offers do not apply to tax, gratuities, shipping and handling charges, and the purchase of gift cards. Members that have not established an Account may only access the Service using a Plastic Card at a Merchant retail location, and are only be eligible to receive loyalty tier awards for purchases from that Merchant.
e. Unless otherwise specified by the Merchant, there is no limit to the amount of Rewards you can earn in a calendar year. Rewards earned, but not redeemed, will expire 24 months after your last purchase with the associated Merchant recorded by the Service, unless the Merchant specifies an expiration date, or unless otherwise required by applicable state law, as described below. A Reward is only available until the applicable expiration date for that Reward and any Rewards that remain unused after such date will be deemed as expired. Certain states may require that Rewards be valid for a certain minimum period of time or require that Rewards not expire. If those laws apply, the Merchant is obligated to honor your Reward redemption beyond the expiration date specified as required by law. If you have a partially redeemed Reward and applicable law entitles you to a credit or refund for the unredeemed stated value of the Reward, the Merchant is obligated to provide you with a credit or refund to the extent required by applicable law. If the Merchant refuses to provide you with the credit, please contact AppCard by emailing us at legal@appcard.com. We will endeavor to resolve the dispute, however, we cannot and do not guarantee redemption or the issuance of any credits or refunds.
f. When redeeming a Reward, the value of your purchase must be greater than the value of the Reward. Rewards cannot be redeemed for cash equivalent, applied to past purchases, or used for purchasing gift cards. A Merchant may enforce limitations on the amount of Rewards that will be used in a single transaction or day by any one Member, including but not limited to a minimum on the amount of Rewards used, a maximum on the amount of Rewards used, whether Rewards can be redeemed only in absolute amounts (e.g., $10.00) and/or in fractional amounts (e.g., $10.35). Employees of the Merchant cannot combine Rewards with any applicable employee program unless specified differently by the Merchant.
g. Merchant may determine at its sole discretion how long it will take from the time Member is entitled to a Reward until Member’s account is actually credited with the Rewards.
h. Unless otherwise specified by the Merchant, membership tier levels are calculated based on annual spend not including tax, gratuities, shipping and handling charges, and the purchase of gift cards. Merchant may determine at its sole discretion how often membership tier levels are calculated.
i. If you return goods that you purchased using Rewards, the Rewards used to purchase those goods will be credited back to your Account. If you return goods that you purchased as part of a purchase that was partially paid with Rewards, the applicable Merchant may decide to first credit your account with Rewards and only if there is a balance left to be credited back to you, credit the balance with other means. Partial or no credit may be given for partial, incomplete or damaged returns. Furthermore, AppCard’s obligation to issue you a Reward credit is conditional on the Merchant processing the return so that it is properly recorded by the Service. If you close your Account, Rewards will not be credited back to you, unless required by law. Returns are also subject to the Merchant’s own policies. Furthermore, if you are issued or receive a Reward from the purchase of goods, which goods you later return, the applicable Reward will be debited from your Account.
j. The Merchant is the seller of the goods and services which you purchase from Merchant, and is the sole issuer and obligor of the Loyalty Program, Rewards and Offers. As such, the Merchant is fully responsible for any and all loss or damage of any kind, including financial injury, personal injury or death, (whether in tort, contract, or strict liability) arising out of or related to your redemption, in whole or in part, of any Reward or Offer and any goods or services acquired. You hereby expressly waive and release AppCard and its officers, directors, stockholders, affiliates, employees, agents, and successors from any liability for any damages or losses arising out of or otherwise incurred in connection with Loyalty Programs, including your redemption or attempted redemption, in whole or in part, of any Rewards or Offers.
k. A Merchant may modify the Loyalty Program terms, Rewards and Offers available to you at any time.
I. AppCard and Merchants are not responsible for lost or stolen Plastic Cards or Account passwords or information, or for any damage incurred as a result of such incident. In the event of such loss or damage, you are required to immediately notify AppCard at support@appcard.com in order to disable your Account. You can also disable the usage of a Plastic Card through the Smartphone App or Website.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
14. Copyright Infringement; Notice and Take Down Procedures. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe that any materials on the Website or Smartphone App infringe your copyright, you may request that they be removed. This request must bear a signature (or electronic equivalent) of the copyright holder or an authorized representative, and must: (a) identify the allegedly infringing materials; (b) indicate where on the Website the infringing materials are located; (c) provide your name and contact information; (d) state that you have a good faith belief that the materials are infringing; (e) state that the information in your claim is accurate; and (f) indicate that “under penalty of perjury” you are the lawful copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. If you believe that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send AppCard a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for further information. Our contact for copyright issues relating to the Website and Smartphone App (including the notices and counter-notices) is: Copyright Agent, AppCard Inc., 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware, United States, 19801, 1.800.388.8433 and legal@appcard.com. Please note that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
15. Resolution of Disputes/Arbitration.
a. These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including its conflicts of law rules. While we will make reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements you may have with AppCard, if these efforts fail you agree that all claims, disputes or controversies against AppCard, its parent companies, subsidiaries, divisions, or affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or successors arising out of these Terms Of Service, the Service, the AppCard Properties, the purchase, sale and/or redemption of any Merchant goods or services, Rewards or Offers, or the content, display or disclosure of any Rewards or Offers (“Claims”) are subject to fixed and binding arbitration (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court), no matter what legal theory they are based on or what remedy (damages, or injunctive or declaratory relief) they seek. This includes Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or our negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law; Claims made as counterclaims, cross-claims, third- party claims, interpleaders or otherwise; and Claims made independently or with other claims.
b. CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND APPCARD ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND. CLAIMS AND REMEDIES SOUGHT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
c. The party filing an arbitration must submit Claims to the American Arbitration Association and follow its rules and procedures for initiating and pursuing an arbitration. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will be held at a place chosen by the American Arbitration Association in the same city as the U.S. District Court closest to your then current residential address, or at some other place to which you and AppCard agree in writing, and the arbitrator shall apply New York law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act. You shall not be entitled to join or consolidate Claims in arbitration by or against other users or to arbitrate any Claim as a representative or member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. You may obtain copies of the current rules, and forms and instructions for initiating an arbitration by contacting the American Arbitration Association at using the contact information noted below.

Website: www.adr.org
d. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten (10) years’ experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will follow the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association which are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed unless those procedures and rules are inconsistent with these Terms of Service, in which case these Terms of Service will prevail. Those procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or us. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect your customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or us. Each party to the arbitration will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on the parties unless we or you appeal it in writing to the arbitration firm within fifteen (15) days of notice of the award. The appeal must request a new arbitration before a panel of three neutral arbitrators designated by the American Arbitration Association. An award by a panel is final and binding on the parties after fifteen (15) days has passed. Any Claim you have must be commenced within one (1) year after the date the Claim arises. As noted above, you and AppCard hereby voluntarily and knowingly waive any right either may have to a jury trial.
e. Your Right to Go To Small Claims Court. We will not choose to arbitrate any Claim you bring in small claims court. However, if such a Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we may then choose to arbitrate.
f. Fees. If you wish to begin arbitration against us but you cannot afford to pay the organization’s or arbitrator’s costs, we will pay those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request like this should be sent to 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware, United States, 19801. If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must reimburse us for money we advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced.
16. Suspension, Modifications and Termination. AppCard reserves the right to suspend your Account or access to the Service or AppCard Properties at any time if we believe you are in breach of these Terms of Service. AppCard reserves the right to terminate or modify these Terms of Service, terminate the Service or modify any features or aspects of the Service or AppCard Properties, or modify its policies at any time, with or without notice to you. Any such termination will not affect any Rewards you have earned prior to termination. If you earn a Reward or use the Service, you shall be bound by the version of these Terms of Service in effect at the time of your purchase. If we make changes that materially affect your use of a Loyalty Program or the Service, we will post a notice of the change on the Website and Smartphone App. You are under an obligation to review the current version of this Agreement and other published AppCard policies before using the Service. Sections 4-8, 10-12, 14-15 and any accrued rights and remedies hereunder, and any other provisions that by their nature require survival in order to be effective, shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms of Service.

e. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms of Service. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms of Service to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
