KEY TERMS SUMMARY
Key terms that you should be aware of being a member of the Service are:

You may not be credited with Rewards if we are not paid our commission for your transaction or where we are unable to confirm your transaction with the relevant Participating Merchant.

Where we cannot exclude our liability, we limit our liability to $1,000. If guarantees that are non-excludable under the Australian Consumer Law apply, and we are permitted to do so, we limit our liability to re-supply of the services or having the cost of the services supplied again.
  • We may disclose your personal information to other people, including to Participating Merchants program partners and other third party service providers necessary to deliver a feature of the Service that relies on that party or to process a transaction with that party.

      2. Subject to clause 5.5, pending Rewards in your Account will be confirmed and approved when:

        1. the Participating Merchant or Affiliate Network confirms it has approved your transaction as a Qualifying Transaction; and
        2. we have received payment of our commission for the transaction from the relevant Participating Merchant or Affiliate Network.
      3. We make no guarantees for crediting of any Reward to your Account until the above steps have occurred. You acknowledge that we may elect not to credit you with Rewards:
        1. if the Participating Merchant or Affiliate Network provider does not pay us commission for your Qualifying Transaction; or
        2. when failure of any system such as any Affiliate Network’s Tracking Monitoring Solution results in us not being paid by the third party for referring you.
      4. If the Participating Merchant or Affiliate Network does not approve your transaction, your transaction may still be confirmed and approved as a Qualifying Transaction for Rewards by us if the relevant Participant Merchant or Affiliate Network pays the Service commission for the transaction.
      5. For some aspects of the Service, Rewards may not be credited to your Account immediately. In some instances, for example, Participating Merchant or Affiliate Network approval times, it may take 3 months or more before Rewards that you have earned are credited to your Account.
      6. You acknowledge that:

        other than where our Tracking Monitoring Solution is used, the notification of Qualifying Transactions to the Service is solely the responsibility of the Participating Merchants and Affiliate Networks (as applicable).

      7. We may at our discretion, approve or credit Rewards if the requirements in paragraphs 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) are not met, but may subsequently reverse the approval or crediting of Rewards, or apply a freeze to the Rewards, including on any Withdrawal until such time as these requirements have been satisfied.
      8. If for some reason your Qualifying Transaction does not appear in your Account (either as a pending or approved Transaction), you may make a claim with us to have your transaction manually assessed. In order to be able to manually assess your claim:
        1. you must claim within 60 days of making the transaction;
        2. there must be a valid Activation Link click recorded prior to making the purchase transaction;

          1. your use of ad blocking software and/or disabling cookies may mean that we cannot confirm and approve your relevant transaction, in which case we may reject your claim; and
          2. some Participating Merchants will not accept any manual claims whatsoever and in such cases we will reject your claim.
          3. All other requirements for a Reward must still be satisfied, including as described in clauses 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) above.

        3. the relevant transaction is not processed on the Participating Merchant’s payments system for any reason;
        4. Rewards were credited to your Account incorrectly (whether due to human error or computer error); or
        5. your use of the Service in connection with any Rewards is not in accordance with, or in breach of, the Terms of Use, including due to your illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or dishonest conduct.
  6. REDEMPTION OF REWARDS

    1. Withdrawal General conditions

      1. In the Terms of Use, “redemption” and “payment” of Rewards (referred to as a “Withdrawal”) means any type of request for us to pay you an amount in exchange for redemption of an amount of your accumulated Rewards. This includes any payment by bank transfer or PayPal transfer into a qualifying linked account or any other method set out on our Website or App.

      2. To be eligible for and request a Withdrawal, the total Rewards accrued from approved Qualifying Transactions and remaining in your Account must:

        1. equate to a value greater than or equal to $10.01 (“Minimum Value”) (excluding Withdrawals for the purchase of Gift Cards in accordance with the Gift Card Terms); and
        2. include at least one Qualifying Transaction. Accounts with only Bonus Rewards available cannot be cashed out until a Qualifying Transaction has been made and approved.
      3. Each Withdrawal request submitted by you is final and not reversible.
      4. At the time you request a Withdrawal, we may:
        1. request from you a copy of a proof of identification document and KYC information in accordance with clause 5.1(d), for Account verification and security purposes, before approving your Withdrawal requests. If you are unable or elect not to provide a copy of a proof of identification document, we may deny your request for Withdrawal of Rewards; and
        2. review the details and transaction history of your Account, and the details of any related membership Accounts (being any Accounts held by members that were referred to the Service by you, or any Account that has the same recorded residential address and/or postal address, phone number or payment details as your Account).
      5. You expressly acknowledge that your eligibility to redeem your Rewards for a Withdrawal is conditional upon your ongoing compliance with the Terms of Use.
      6. We reserve the right to decline any Withdrawal request and adjust, reverse or cancel any outstanding redemption or payment of a Withdrawal, where we have evidence or reason to believe Rewards were credited to your Account incorrectly (whether due to human error or computer error), or not in accordance with, or in breach of, the Terms of Use, including due to your illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or dishonest conduct, or as otherwise set out in these Terms of Use.
    2. Withdrawal payment

      1. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information provided for the purposes of a Withdrawal. If a Withdrawal that you request is processed as per the account details supplied by you (whether bank account, PayPal transfer or other method), and there is an error in those account details, we will use our reasonable endeavours to request the transaction to be reversed and, if we are successful in obtaining the reversal and we recover the amount transferred, we will endeavour to make the transfer to the correct account, less any applicable administration fee. We will have no other obligation to take any action to reverse the transaction, reprocess the transaction, or refund Rewards to you (and accordingly the redeemed Rewards and Withdrawal payment may be lost).
      2. If a Withdrawal is rejected by the receiving institution for any reason (other than an error on our part), we may charge to you an administration fee of $30 (by redeeming any Rewards in your Account to that value or by asking you to pay us that amount). Otherwise, you will not be charged any fees for processing the Withdrawal, these fees will be borne by us.
      3. For the purposes of a Withdrawal, we may, at our discretion, enforce a limit of one Account per receiving account.
    3. Limits on your right to receive payment

      1. We will not hold any amounts representing Withdrawal payments we may be required to make to you in respect of your redemption of Rewards in a separate bank account or otherwise segregate those amounts from our own funds, and we do not hold any such amounts in trust.
      2. Until you validly request a Withdrawal, we are not liable to you for payment of any Rewards and you have no entitlement to receive any funds from us and cannot make any claim against our assets.
      3. In the event that we become insolvent, you will not be able to recover any outstanding amount that we owe, but have not paid, to you in priority to any of our other creditors. There may be other creditors whose debts will take priority over yours. You may not recover the full amount we owe to you and there is a risk that you will not be able to recover any of the unpaid amount.
