4. Merchant Loyalty Programs. Loyalty Programs available using the Service 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, cashback,
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
Uppified, Uppified 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 Uppified 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 Uppified 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 available until the
applicable expiration date for that Reward. Any unused Rewards 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 Uppified by emailing us at [email protected]. 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, Loyalty 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 Loyalty 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, 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, Uppified’s obligation to issue you
a Reward credit is conditional on 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 Uppified 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.
l. Uppified 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,

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 arbitration
firm. The arbitration will follow procedures and rules of the arbitration firm 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 same arbitration firm. An award by a panel is final and binding on the parties after
fifteen (15) days has passed. Any claim or cause of action you have with respect to use of the Service or
Uppified Properties must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim arises. You and Uppified
hereby voluntarily and knowingly waive any right either may have to a jury trial.
