Shop Your Way Partner Rewards Program and Services Terms of Use
Effective Date: June 21, 2023
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) fully before participating in the Program or using the Services. These Terms set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your participation in the Program or use of the Services.
The Shop Your Way Partner Rewards Program (the “Program”) and Services are provided to you by third party partners and suppliers on behalf of Transform SR Holding Management LLC (“Transformco”), doing business as Shop Your Way. For purposes of these Terms, Transformco, doing business under the name Shop Your Way, will be referred to as “SYW,” “us,” “our,” or “we.”
The Program includes software, services, referral links, websites, features, content, browser extensions, shopping directories, tools, and mobile applications which are offered directly or through integration within third party services (the “Services”). The Program enables users of the Program and Services to earn Rewards for qualifying purchases from participating Shop Your Way Partners (“Partner(s)”) by connecting to the users’ Shop Your Way account. By way of example and not limitation, the Program allows users to access third party Partner offers by downloading the SYW browser extension or accessing the offer wall available on the SYW mobile app. For purposes of this Agreement, “Rewards” means SYW Points.
These Terms only apply to the Program and Services managed and operated by third party service providers and suppliers on behalf of SYW, described above. These Terms do not apply to any other services that you may use that are provided by SYW or a third-party, which are governed by SYW’s or the third-party’s terms of use. For clarity, these terms do not apply to the SYW CardLink Program, which is subject to a different set of terms and conditions. The SYW CardLink Program Terms and Conditions are available here. The SYW Terms and Conditions are available here. The SYW Notice of Financial Incentive is available here.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between each individual who participates in the Program or uses the Services (“you”), on the one hand, and SYW (“we” or “us”), on the other hand. By participating in the Program and continuing to use the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Agreement and that you agree to be bound by all of its terms.
You also acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the SYW Privacy Policy, which is available [here], and you agree to the terms and conditions of the SYW Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, then you are not allowed to participate in the Program and/or to use the Services. Your participation in the Program is at the discretion of SYW.
Acceptance of Terms. By registering for and/or using the Program or Services, you agree to these Terms and all other operating policies that may be published from time to time within the Program and Services, each of which is incorporated by reference and may be updated from time to time without notice to you.
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS (1) AN ARBITRATION PROVISION; (2) A WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO BRING A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US; AND (3) A RELEASE BY YOU OF ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE AGAINST US THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES. BY USING THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU AGREE TO THESE PROVISIONS.
Eligibility. You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under age eighteen (18), you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Program or Services. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Program or Services to any person or entity and change eligibility criteria at any time. You are solely responsible for ensuring that these Terms comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you and the right to access the Program or Services is revoked where these Terms or use of the Program or Services is prohibited or to the extent offering, sale or provision of the Program or Services conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Further, the Program and Services are offered only for your use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.
Privacy. For information about SYW’s privacy and data protection practices, please read SYW’s privacy policy found at here. This privacy policy explains how SYW collects, uses and shares your information when you access and use the Program and Services. By agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, you also agree to the SYW Privacy Policy.
Rewards. The Program and Services enable you to access and earn Rewards, subject to these Terms. For clarification, the Rewards covered by the Program and processed through the Services are not a gift certificate, store gift card, or general-use prepaid card.
The Program and Services may include Rewards activated by the creation of trackable links (referred to herein as a “Link”) for one or more “Participating Partner(s)” (which include, for example, online retailers of products, services or content). Links may be embedded within browsers or other forms of digital communications and may redirect you or direct recipients, with whom you share the Link, to one or more Partners. Links are configured to track and attribute transactions to you so that you may earn a Reward if you or someone to whom you send a Link completes a transaction with a Partner. Links are configured to issue Rewards based on “last click attribution”, meaning that the Links issue Rewards based on the last Link that is clicked or activated.
Some transactions may not earn Rewards or may earn at a rate which is different from the rate indicated by the Services. You are not guaranteed to earn a Reward from a transaction even if you (i) create a Link (ii) share a Link (iii) take an action to activate Rewards, (iv) receive a notification from the Program or Services, (v) receive an indication from the Program or Services that a transaction is eligible to earn Rewards, (vi) you or your recipients complete a transaction, or (vii) you receive from the Program or Services a confirmation regarding a successful transaction. Even if the Program or Services indicate that a transaction is eligible or confirmed, transactions may not earn Rewards for several reasons, without notice to you, including without limitation:
Partners may alter terms, conditions, or commission rates;
Partners may discontinue their programs.
Partners may exclude certain products from Reward eligibility.
There are many reasons a Link may fail to issue Rewards. Partners may have technical failures which result in transactions failing to be tracked or attributed to you. Partners may reject transactions due to suspected policy violations. The communication channel or browser through which the Link is activated or shared may modify or block the Link, alter the tracking code, or strip out the tracking code. Links may fail to function properly. Link tracking may cease to function during transmission when you share Links with others. Links may be altered or disabled by the recipient of the shared link, web browsers, or ad blockers. Per the Links’ last-click attribution model, if you share a Link with another user who has independent access to the Program and Services, that user’s access to the Program’s browser extension or offer wall may override your tracking Link and result in Rewards being issued to that user only. You acknowledge that (i) a Link may not issue Rewards for the reasons stated in this Section 3, (ii) these circumstances are outside of SYW’s reasonable control, and (iii) you will not be entitled to receive a Reward in such circumstances.
Some Rewards originate from marketing fees paid by a Partner to us. Partners may have holdback periods during which they hold a pending payment for a specified period, for example, until the expiration of a return policy and/or until a service is consumed. If we are not paid for a transaction by a Partner, we shall have no obligation to provide any Reward to you for the associated transaction. We only provide a Reward to you after a transaction is successfully tracked and completed and after we receive payment for that specific transaction from the Partner.
Some Rewards may include coupons, discounts or promotions from Partners (“Offers”). We do not guarantee that Partners will honor Offers. Offer codes may be expired or invalid. Offers may not be eligible for your transaction, based upon exclusions, terms and conditions determined by Partners.
We will receive commission payments from Partners in connection with your purchase on Partners websites under the Program or Services. The commission we receive from Partners and share with you will be credited to Rewards. Any Reward amount which may be due to you is determined by us in our sole discretion.
When you complete a purchase of eligible products at participating Partners (or if you share a Link to a recipient who completes an eligible transaction using the Link, in accordance with the Links’ last click attribution model), this may generate a pending Reward, which is conditional until confirmed as described herein. Any information sent to you, such as a notification, email or account message or displayed within your dashboard regarding a pending Reward shall be conditional and shall not create a contractual obligation. We may alter or cancel a pending Reward for any reason including, but not limited to: charge-backs, product returns, duplicate entry or other accounting error, Partner non-payment, non-bona fide transactions, non-receipt of payment from or refund of payment to the purchaser by the Partner, our inability to contact you in order to validate transactions, your distribution of Links via Unapproved Channels, or your failure to comply with Third Party Partners or Affiliate Network Terms and Conditions. Partners may alter or cancel their program or Offers, and Partners may cease to be affiliated with the Program or Services.
We may be required to nullify Rewards due to limitations established by certain Partners which prohibit Rewards to users who reside in certain geographies due to tax nexus or other considerations.
In order to prevent fraudulent use of the Program or Services, we may attempt to contact you in order to validate your account and determine your compliance with these Terms.
Rewards remain in a pending state until we receive payment from the Partners for the associated transaction. After we receive payment from a Partner for your specific transaction Reward, the Reward status may change from pending to confirmed. We may remit Rewards automatically to your SYW account or we may provide an interface for you to request withdrawal.
You agree that we have the right, but not the obligation, to seek on your behalf any and all Reward payments from Partners. You agree that we have no special relationship with or fiduciary duty to you and you acknowledge that we have no duty to take any action regarding collection of payment from Partners.
Rewards will expire in the same manner as Shop Your Way Global Points, as set forth in the Shop Your Way Terms and Conditions, which are available here.
Intended Use, Unauthorized Use and Promotional Channels. You may be rewarded for transactions completed by you or by others who click on a Link you have shared with them. You agree not to engage in or facilitate the promotion of Links through any Unapproved Channels including, but not limited to, those listed below. If you have questions or concerns about whether a specific promotional method is acceptable, please contact us in writing for written authorization before you begin using such a promotional channel. Failure to adhere to these restrictions may result in termination of your account and the voiding of any unpaid Rewards. You agree not to allow any unauthorized third-party access to the Program, Services, or any information, data, text, links, images, software, chat, communications, and other content available through the Internet and proprietary in the Program or Services. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of the usernames and passwords by which you access the Program and Services. Unapproved Channels include, but are not limited to:
Unsolicited Email, Messages or Notifications (Spam). Communications to people who did not provide consent or opt-in, or to recipient lists that were purchased or obtained illegally.
Indiscriminate Advertising. Search advertising, browser plug-ins, toolbars, pop-up or pop-under advertising, display advertising, or any paid promotional channel.
Fraud. Any attempted or successful fraud, or the failure to abide by these Terms and related user guidelines. You shall not cause any transactions to be made or Rewards to be activated that are not in good faith, including, but not limited to, through the use of any device, program, bot, i-frame, or hidden frame.
Link Operations.
You should not edit, remove or modify any element contained in a Link. Changing the Link may invalidate it or cause it to be inoperable.
Certain communication platforms may block, alter or otherwise disable a Link, in which case the tracking and attribution may be inoperable, in which case no Reward shall be earned.
Some Partners may place cookies (or other forms of tracking beacons) on your device to recognize your device during a subsequent visit. This may enable the sender of the link to earn a Reward for transactions which occur after the initial click on a link. If you, or those clicking on your shared Link, block or delete cookies, tracking and attribution may be inoperable, in which case no Reward shall be earned.
We reserve the right, without notice to you, to add or remove Partners, change commission rates from Partners, and determine to which Partners we direct a Link.
FTC Endorsement Disclosure Guidelines. Since you may earn a Reward by recommending a product or Partner using a Link, the FTC Endorsement Guides require you to, among other things, disclose that fact within your message when you send a Link. Learn more at The FTC’s Endorsement Guides.
Account Settings and Notifications.
Please be sure to follow instructions to authenticate your account. This may include submitting your mobile number and entering the verification code that we send to you. Authentication may also occur in other ways, depending upon the requirements of third parties which integrate the Services within their applications. Our ability to attribute Rewards to you may depend upon you authenticating your user account and associating your device with your account.
You are responsible for all usage and activity on your account and for loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your account credentials.
By using the Program or Services, you opt-in and grant us the right to send you emails, text messages, app notifications and other forms of communications relating to your account, customer service inquiries, Rewards status, payment information, promotional opportunities and third party notices.
Third-Party Services.
We do not endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or content of Partners or other third-parties. We are not an agent or broker or otherwise responsible for Partners activities, policies, products or services. When you use the Program or Services to access Partners or other third-parties, you do so at your own risk. These Partners and other third-parties are not under our control, and you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any aspect of content, functions, accuracy, transactions, legality, privacy policies, practices, terms of use, prices, offers, rates, opinions expressed, appropriateness or any other aspect of such third parties. We do not guarantee that the product details, prices, coupon availability or other service terms, rates or Rewards offered by any particular Partner or other third-party linked to from our Program or Services are actually the terms that may be offered or provided to you. We encourage you to be aware when you link to a third-party and to read the terms, conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service that you visit or utilize.
You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or relating to your use of or reliance on any such transaction, purchase, content, goods or services available on or through any such Partner or third-party. By using the Program or Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any Partners or third-party website or service. If there is a dispute between you and any Partner or third-party, you agree that we are under no obligation to represent your interests in any way.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, you release SYW, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Program or Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
Third Party Terms and Conditions. The Program or Services may contain third party software and may interoperate with third parties, including but not limited to Partners and affiliate networks. Links to the terms and conditions of third-party affiliate networks are included within these Terms and are made a part of and incorporated by reference in Exhibit A. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE ALSO ACCEPTING THE ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IF ANY, SET FORTH THEREIN. In the event that our Terms conflict with such third-party terms, these Terms shall supersede.
Downtime and Suspensions. Your access to and use of the Program or Services may be interrupted for the duration of any scheduled, unscheduled, or unanticipated downtime, suspension or other unavailability, for any reason and in our sole discretion, including but not limited to: (i) as a result of power outages, system failures or other interruptions, (ii) for scheduled and unscheduled downtime to permit maintenance or modifications to the Services, (iii) in the event of a denial of service attack or other attack or event that we determine may create any risk to us, you or any of our users, customers, or licensees, or (iv) in the event that we determine that any part of the Program or Services is prohibited by applicable law or otherwise determine that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons. We shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that you may incur as a result of any downtime, suspension or other unavailability of the Program or Services. We cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, settings or other service interruptions. We do not assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or settings.
Termination. We may terminate your access to all or any part of the Program of Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your use of the Program or Services and cancellation of any Rewards which remain unpaid. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
Applications. We, through our third party service providers, may make available software to access the Program or Services via mobile applications and browser extensions (“Apps”). To use an App you must have a device that is compatible with the App. We do not warrant that Apps will be compatible with your device. We, or our third-party service providers, as the case may be, retain all right, title, and interest in the Apps and any copy thereof. You acknowledge that we, or our third party service providers, as the case may be, may from time-to-time issue upgraded versions of the Apps and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the App that you are using on your device. You consent to such automatic upgrading on your device and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to all such upgrades. The Apps originate in the United States and are subject to United States export laws and regulations. The Apps may not be exported or re-exported to certain countries, or those persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports from the United States. In addition, the Apps may be subject to the import and export laws of other countries. You agree to comply with all United States and foreign laws related to use of the Apps and the Services.
Proprietary Rights/License.
SYW and its third party service providers, as the case may be, own and retain all intellectual property rights to any protectable part of the Program and Services, including but not limited to design, artwork, technology, software, functionality, and documentation. SYW owns (i) any and all of SYW’s intellectual property, including but not limited to SYW’s logos, trademarks, and copyrighted content that appears in the Program and Services, (ii) any such SYW intellectual property that appears on any third party websites or Links, and (iii) the copyright in the selection, compilation, assembly, arrangement, and enhancement of the Program and Services (collectively, “SYW Intellectual Property”). All right, title, and interest in and to the SYW Intellectual Property available via the Program and Services is the property of SYW, our licensors or certain other third parties, and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, patent and/or other intellectual property and unfair competition rights and laws to the fullest extent possible. You shall not directly or indirectly: (i) copy, modify, or reverse engineer any part of the Program or Services, (ii) decipher, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of any part of the Program or Services, (iii) modify, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of any part of the Services, or (iv) copy, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise transfer any of the rights that you receive hereunder. You acknowledge that you obtain no proprietary rights in SYW’s or our third party partners and suppliers’ trademarks, service marks, trade names, URLs, copyrighted material, patents, and patent applications, and agree not to challenge SYW’s or our third party partners and suppliers’ proprietary rights.
We (and relevant third parties, successors and assigns) own all rights to information collected about a user as a result of their use of a Link, subject to any underlying rights of the user with respect to the user’s personal data (“User Data”). All information, reports, data or results which are created, compiled or analyzed by us, resulting from the use of a Link, is our sole and exclusive property, subject to any underlying rights of the user with respect to the User Data.
You shall not: (i) take any action that imposes or may impose (as determined by us in our sole discretion) an unreasonable load on our (or our third party providers’) infrastructure; (ii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Program or Services or any activities conducted on the Program or Services; (iii) bypass, circumvent or attempt to bypass or circumvent any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Program or Services (or other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the Program or Services); (iv) run any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Program or Services; (v) use manual or automated software, devices, or other processes to “crawl” or “spider” any part of the Program or Services; (vi) harvest or scrape any Content from the Program or Services; or (vii) otherwise take any action in violation of our guidelines and policies.
You may install and use the Apps solely (i) for your personal shopping use, (ii) in connection with the Program and Services, (iii) in the form and format provided by SYW and its third party service providers, and (iv) in a manner compliant with these Terms. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as a sale of the Apps or any copy thereof.
Governing Law, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (INCLUDING OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES), WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM, SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE THEN-CURRENT RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION FOR CONTRACT DISPUTES IN ILLINOIS AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE IN ANY MANNER VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WE MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM THAT EACH SIDE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ACTION OR ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.
You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
14. Governing Law and Forum for Disputes. This Agreement, and your relationship with SYW under this Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois in the United States of America without regard to its conflict or choice of laws provisions. Any dispute with SYW, or its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively as specified in the ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER clause herein, except with respect to imminent harm requiring temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in which case we may seek such relief in any court with jurisdiction over the parties. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision, we are able to offer the Program and Services at the terms designated, with little or no charge to you, and that your assent to this provision is an indispensable consideration to this Agreement.
You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with SYW, its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to your use of the Program, Services, or this Agreement:
YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; and
YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
15. Warranty Disclaimer, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability
We make no representations concerning any link contained in or accessed through the Program or Services, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, or legality of material or links contained in or accessed through the Program or Services.
THE PROGRAM AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, PARTNER ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. WE, AND OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDER AND PROVIDERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (I) THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES WILL BE SECURE OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (II) ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; (III) ANY CONTENT OR SOFTWARE AVAILABLE AT OR THROUGH THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (IV) THE RESULTS OF USING THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM OR SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Limitation of Liability. ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF SYW UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF THE CONFIRMED REWARD PAYOUT PAID TO YOU BY SYW UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE SPECIFIC REWARD IN QUESTION. NO ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT AGAINST SYW UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, NOR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDER, SUPPLIERS OR CONTENT PROVIDERS, BE LIABLE UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES (I) FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, COMPENSATORY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES (HOWEVER ARISING), (II) FOR ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE (REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE OF ORIGINATION), OR (III) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF $100.
Indemnification. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates and each of our and their respective employees, contractors, directors, suppliers and representatives from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of, or access to the Program or Services, violation of these Terms, or infringement by you, or any third party using your Account or identity in the Program or Services, of any SYW Intellectual Property or intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. 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.
Miscellaneous.
Entire Agreement and Severability. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Program and Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Program and Services. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
Feedback. You agree that we may use your feedback, suggestions, or ideas in any way, including in future modifications of the Program or Services, other products or services, advertising or marketing materials. You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, fully transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty free license to use the feedback you provide to us in any way.
Modification. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these Terms, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Program or Services at any time by posting updates and/or changes to the Program or Services or by sending you notice through the Program or Services, via email or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Program or Services without notice or liability. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications, including by checking these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Program or Services following notification of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Assignment. These Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.
Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. 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 to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
Headings. The section and paragraph headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation.
