The Cashback Program
The Cashback Program provides you with the opportunity to receive payment from ShopBack in connection with your use of the Services (a “Payment”), including when you complete a verifiable transaction with a Merchant through the Merchant’s associated Merchant Link on the ShopBack Platforms (a “Qualifying Transaction”).
Qualifying Transactions will be accounted for in ShopBack’s internal system through the use of “Cashback,” which is a unit of measurement that ShopBack uses to track and record your Qualifying Transactions during a given period. The amount of Cashback that ShopBack records for your Qualifying Transactions may vary depending on its internal criteria and calculations, which it may modify from time to time in its sole discretion. You may view the estimated amount of Cashback that ShopBack has recorded for your Qualifying Transactions by going to your ShopBack Account. Please note that any such amounts are preliminary estimates calculated for ShopBack’s internal recordkeeping purposes. For clarity, Cashback is solely an internal measurement tool utilized by ShopBack to measure your Qualifying Transactions through the ShopBack Platforms, and it is not intended to confer or imply any rights or represent any obligations, does not constitute property, is not transferrable or assignable, does not provide you with any proprietary rights over any monies or assets held by ShopBack, and may not be purchased or the subject of a sale, barter, or exchange.
The amount of any Payment we make to you will be based on the final amount of Cashback that ShopBack has recorded for your Qualifying Transactions during a given period in accordance with its internal, propriety formula, which may be adjusted by us from time-to-time, and which is based on certain factors, which may include (a) Cashback not being eligible when purchasing promotional items or using other discount codes, coupons or other promotions; (b) any available promotions or campaigns at the given time; and (b) Different tiers of eligible cashback for different users (e.g. different tiers of cashback for new users and existing users). Payments will be made by ShopBack to the Payment Account that you have linked to your ShopBack Account. Payments may be funded either by ShopBack or from a portion of the proceeds we receive from Merchants.
You are responsible for regularly checking your ShopBack Account to ensure that ShopBack is properly recognizing potential Qualifying Transactions. You must notify ShopBack of any omissions or discrepancies concerning any transaction within 30 days after that transaction. ShopBack reserves the right not to correct any omissions, incorrect entries, or discrepancies brought to its attention after the 30-day period.
