2. User Representations and Warranties

We prohibit anyone from using the HighRewards Sites and Features or Services who is under  18 years of age.  If you are under the age of 18 (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent by accessing the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services that you have your parent’s or legal guardian’s approval to access them.  If we receive actual notice that you are under the age of 18 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction) or, we will terminate your access to the HighRewards Sites, Features, and Services; deactivate your account; and delete your data.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the HighRewards Sites and Features and our Services, you are subject to these Terms and responsible for your child’s related activity. 

3. Rewards Programs

  1. Overview.  The Company may offer one or more rewards programs (“Rewards Programs”) under which you may have the opportunity to receive points in HighRewards programs (such points are referred to herein as “Points”) or other credits (collectively referred to as “Rewards”) related to your participation in or interaction with various advertising, content, shopping opportunities, special offers, surveys, coupons, location-based deals, and other Rewards opportunities (collectively, “Offers”).   Regardless of whether they are expressed as points or dollar amounts, Rewards have no cash, monetary, or other value and are only redeemable for gift cards or other prizes or redemption methods as may be offered by the Rewards Program from time to time (collectively, “Redemption Prizes”), subject to these Terms and the Rewards Program redemption requirements at the time of redemption. 
  2. Suspension or Termination of your Participation.  The Company may limit, suspend, or terminate your ability to participate in a Rewards Program, and may suspend or void any Rewards or potential Rewards you may have received or accumulated in a Rewards Program but not yet successfully redeemed, if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that you have not complied with these Terms, require an uncommon or excessive level of customer support, or otherwise are not using and receiving the Rewards Program benefits in a mutually satisfactory way consistent with the typical member. You agree to abide by the final and binding decisions of the Company regarding any Rewards Program and your participation in it. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or cancel all or a portion of a Rewards Program, including any unredeemed Rewards, at any time, without prior notice or compensation to you.
  3. Receiving Rewards.  You may receive Rewards in a Rewards Program by participating in various Offers, as described in the applicable Rewards Program. Subject to the other provisions of these Terms, the Company will deposit any Rewards for Offers that you choose to participate in and successfully complete into the account that you established when you joined the Rewards Program (the “Account”).  Rewards are deemed successfully completed once you have fully and properly satisfied all of the requirements of the Offer in the manner specified in the Offer (including any time limitations or waiting periods for acceptance or completion of the Offer) and in compliance with these Terms, and the Company and/or our third-party Rewards Program partners are able to properly validate, track and record that you have done so. In connection with any request to receive credit from Customer Support for completing an Offer that did not credit automatically, we may require you to initiate your support request from your Rewards Program ledger in order to ensure proper handling and tracking for completion via our systems. For avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for, nor shall the Company be obligated to award Rewards to you for, any Offer that is not properly recorded, tracked, validated and/or deemed a successfully completed Reward under the Company’s and/or our third-party Rewards Program affiliates’ policies, procedures, and systems. In some instances, the Company’s third-party Rewards Program affiliates, rather than the Company, may make the final determination of whether an Offer has been successfully completed and thereby should result in a Reward. Please be sure to review all applicable terms of Offers and Rewards before deciding whether or not you would like to participate. We also reserve our right to: (1) change or limit the Offers or Rewards available or your ability to participate in certain Offers or the Rewards Program itself, (2) change or limit the eligibility for or allowable frequency of Offers, and (3) change or limit the number or type of Rewards you can receive for a given Offer or during a given time period, including, without limitation, the right to correct any inadvertent error in the number or type of Rewards awarded and to claw-back any unearned or unqualified Rewards deposited in your Account as a result.  All such changes or limitations shall apply to all past, present, or future Rewards, unless otherwise expressly stated. 
  4. Redeeming Rewards.  Subject to the other provisions of these Terms, you may redeem accumulated Rewards in your Account for Redemption Prizes pursuant to the applicable Rewards Program redemption requirements at the time of redemption. Supplies of Redemption Prizes may be limited. Redemption Prizes may be awarded or redeemed on a first-come, first-served, and while-supplies-last basis. If you attempt to redeem Rewards for a Redemption Prize and the Company determines that the Redemption Prize is unavailable, out of stock, or for whatever reason cannot be provided to you, the Company may, in our sole and absolute discretion, provide you with a Redemption Prize of equal or greater value. No re-crediting, reversal, or refund of Rewards will be issued for any reason after Rewards have been successfully redeemed; in other words, once you order and receive a Redemption Prize, you may not reverse or cancel the Redemption Prize transaction or return the Redemption Prize for a refund or re-crediting of Rewards to your Account. The only way to use Rewards is to redeem them for such Redemption Prizes as the Company may elect to offer from time to time for the applicable Rewards Program.  
  5. Verifying Identity and Eligibility.  The Company also reserves the right to verify your identity to our complete satisfaction prior to crediting or allowing redemption of any Rewards, issuing, or delivering any Redemption Prizes in any Rewards Program, or otherwise providing you with access to or any benefit associated with the HighRewards Sites and Features, our Services, or your Account. The Company implements such verification requirements to confirm, preserve and protect the security of the HighRewards Sites and Features, our Services, and your Account from unauthorized access and security threats. We may do so by requesting—either directly or indirectly via a third-party verification service—that you provide an image of your passport, driver’s license, or state ID card, by requiring you to verify the mobile phone number associated with your Account, or by such other proof of identity or eligibility as we may require. Some of our Services or Redemption Prizes may have additional eligibility requirements and in that case the Company also reserves the right to determine or verify your eligibility using such methods as we deem appropriate. If you are unable or unwilling to verify your identity in response to our request, or if we have other reason to suspect your Account may be compromised, insecure, or a threat to the HighRewards Sites and Features, our Services, or your Account, we reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to temporarily or permanently deactivate or deny or restrict access to your Account, or any benefit associated with the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services.
  6. Delivery of Redemption Prizes.  Redemption Prizes are generally digital and delivered electronically to the email address then associated with your Account or as otherwise provided in the applicable Rewards Program, but in some cases may be physical items mailed to the U.S. or Canadian postal address, as applicable, associated with your Account. Processing times may vary. Where we are unable to deliver a Redemption Prize or it goes unclaimed for whatever reason, you hereby direct and authorize us, where possible, to cancel or reverse the redemption for that Redemption Prize and restore the associated Rewards to your Account in the applicable Rewards Program, so that you can attempt to redeem such Rewards again in the future; provided, however, that we shall not be liable to you for any inability or failure to cancel or reverse the redemption and restore the associated Rewards to your Account. 
  7. Rewards Have No Monetary Value and Are Nontransferable.  You agree and acknowledge that unredeemed Rewards in your Account have no cash, monetary, or other value, remain the sole property of the Company, and are only redeemable for such Redemption Prizes as the Company may elect to offer in the Rewards Program from time to time, subject to these Terms and the Rewards Program redemption requirements at the time of redemption, 
  8. Inactive Accounts.  Any Account that has not been logged into and Rewards either received or redeemed for six (months) or more may be deemed inactive and the Account closed. We may also modify our inactive Account rules and policies in our Rewards Programs from time to time, and if your Account becomes inactive pursuant to such then-current rules or policies, we may close your Account accordingly, without any compensation or further obligation to you regarding the closed Account. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these actions or wish to request Account reactivation (subject to such terms, limitations, and requirements as we may impose from time to time), please contact us as provided in Section 17 below.
  9. Rewards Expiration.  We may also adopt or modify our Rewards expiration rules and policies for any past, present, or future Rewards from time to time, and if your Rewards expire pursuant to such then-current rules or policies, we may remove such Rewards from your Account, without any compensation or further obligation to you regarding the expired Rewards. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these actions or wish to request re-crediting of the expired points to your Account (subject to such terms, limitations, and requirements as we may impose from time to time), please contact us as provided in Section 17 below.
  10. Shopping Rewards.  For shopping Rewards, we reserve the right to request and verify receipts of completed purchases prior to or in connection with the awarding of Rewards for shopping Offers in order to verify with the applicable merchant that such purchases are valid. If you return any products or cancel any services for which you received Rewards, we reserve the right to deduct any associated Rewards from your Account. If you received Rewards based upon photos or scans of purchase receipts or other materials (such as an itemized packing slip for online orders to verify that you have completed the purchase and received the items purchased), you must submit a legible photo or scan of the original valid receipt or other materials, which cannot have been altered in any way (as determined in our sole and absolute discretion) and must be from a purchase that you paid for personally.  Failure or refusal to provide requested documentation or proof of purchase is grounds for denying any Rewards credit. Receipts can not be submitted that predate the activation date of the user account or are more that seven (7) days past the date of submission. Further, receipts may not be valid if submitted after an offer is no longer offered in the application. It is recommended that all receipts be uploaded the day of the transaction to ensure the current reward offer is awarded.  
  11. Referral Program Rewards.  From time to time, we may offer special bonuses or incentives as referral Rewards for you to refer others who successfully join and participate in our Rewards Programs, using a personal referral code or URL, which shall be governed by the current Referral Program terms for the applicable Rewards Program. You agree to only provide us with email addresses or other personal information of persons for referral purposes with their knowledge and consent. You shall not be eligible to earn referral Rewards if you invite other users who share the same Device, if you create multiple accounts in an effort to earn referral Rewards for inviting yourself, or if you otherwise violate these Terms or the applicable Referral Program terms. If you cannot produce proof satisfactory to us that referrals have been made in accordance with these Terms and the Referral Program terms, we may terminate your Account, withhold, or rescind any referral Rewards, reverse or correct Rewards balances in your Account, or take other remedial actions as we deem appropriate.

4. Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions

Any sweepstakes, contests, or promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) that may be offered via any of the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services may be governed by Additional Terms, including but not limited to official rules, which may set out eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions, terms and conditions, and details governing how your personal information may be used. It is your responsibility to read all Additional Terms to determine whether you want to or are eligible to participate, enter or register in or for the Promotions. By participating in a Promotion, you agree to comply with and abide by such Additional Terms and the decisions of the sponsor(s) thereof.

All guarantees, warranties, and representations, whether express or implied, as to the condition, suitability, quality, fitness or safety of any goods and services supplied under our Rewards Programs or other Services are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Please note that at any time, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, terminate our legal agreement with you and deny you continued use of the HighRewards Sites and Features and our Services, and, without limiting the foregoing, may do so if (i) we are required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of our services to you is, or may become, unlawful); (ii) the partner with whom we offered our Services to you has terminated its relationship with us or ceased to offer their services to you; (iii) we are no longer providing all or any portion of our Services to users in the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use our Services; or (iv) the provision of our Services to you is, in our opinion, no longer commercially viable.

The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or the exclusion or limitation of liability for bodily injury, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
  1.

For example, if you have been offered, paid or provided with free or discounted products, services or Rewards in exchange for discussing or promoting any of our HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services, including but not limited to Referral Program Rewards, or if you are an employee of a company and you decide to discuss or promote that company’s products or services through our Services, you agree to comply with the Endorsement Guides’ requirements for disclosing such relationships. You, and not HighRewards, are solely responsible for any endorsements or testimonials you make regarding our HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services or any other product or service.

11. Binding Arbitration of all Disputes and Claims

  1. Binding Arbitration of All Disputes or Claims. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between them (“Disputes or Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (1) Disputes or Claims related in any way to any HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services, privacy, data security, collection, use and sharing, advertising, purchase or other transactions, Rewards crediting, maintenance or expiration, Account balances or closures, Promotions, or any emails, texts, or other communications with you; (2) Disputes or Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the transactions or relationship between you and us, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (3) Disputes or Claims that arose before your agreement to these Terms or any prior arbitration agreement; (4) Disputes or Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (5) Disputes or Claims that arose or may arise before or after your use, or the termination of your use, of any HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services. Consistent with and without limiting the applicability of the foregoing, all Disputes or Claims, and all legal and equitable issues relating to or arising from any Disputes or Claims, and/or these Terms or arbitration provisions, or any other terms or agreements that incorporate the same by reference, are exclusively for the arbitrator (rather than a court) to decide, including without limitation all claims, disputes, or issues relating to formation, validity, conscionability, interpretation, scope, and enforceability, and whether a claim is subject to arbitration. For purposes of these arbitration provisions, references to “we” and “us” include all entities included within the definition of “Company” above, and each of their affiliates, and each such entity’s respective directors, managers, officers, employees, shareholders, members, agents, suppliers, and assignees (collectively, the “Company Parties”). It is the mutual intent of the parties that this delegation of all matters to the arbitrator be a “clear and unmistakable” delegation, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms or any other communication, agreement, or document between us (including any provisions or any other communication, agreement or document that may make reference to a court).
  2. Providing Us an Opportunity to Informally Resolve Your Dispute. If you intend to seek arbitration, please first send to us, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”). Each Dispute Notice to us should be sent to our customer service address at: HighRewards Dispute Resolution, HighRewards Inc, 7957 N University Dr PMB 2029, Parkland,FL 33067 USA, Attention: Legal Department. The Dispute Notice should include: (1) your name, email address, telephone number and mailing address; (2) the nature and basis of your Dispute(s) or Claim(s); (3) identification or enclosure of all relevant documents and information; and (4) a description of the specific relief that you seek from us. Before you may pursue or participate in any Disputes or Claims in small claims court or in arbitration against us, after you send the Dispute Notice described above, you should allow us a reasonable opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve your Disputes or Claims. After we receive your Dispute Notice, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to resolve your Disputes or Claims without formal procedures. 
  3. Agreement to Participate in Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an informal resolution of your Disputes or Claims within 30 days after we receive your written Dispute Notice, you may pursue your Disputes or Claims in arbitration or, solely to the extent specifically provided below, in small claims court. If the parties cannot reach an informal resolution to the Disputes or Claims within 30 days after our receipt of your Dispute Notice, you may commence an arbitration proceeding by sending an arbitration demand (“Arbitration Demand”) to the following address: HighRewards Dispute Resolution, HighRewards Inc, 7957 N University Dr PMB 2029, Parkland,FL 33067, USA, Attention: Legal Department. The parties agree to arbitrate any Disputes or Claims between them, except to the extent either party chooses to instead pursue the Disputes or Claims in small claims court as provided below. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. 
  4. Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by these Rules, will govern the arbitration. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org. If your asserted Disputes or Claims—collectively—are for $10,000 or less (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules. If your asserted Disputes or Claims—individually or in the aggregate—exceed $10,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), the right to a hearing and the manner of hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Furthermore, if AAA at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, we agree to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms; provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subsection E below requiring individual arbitration and prohibiting class, representative or consolidated arbitration proceedings (except as to public injunctive relief if you are a resident of California or California law otherwise applies to these Terms of Use). Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county, province, or other local jurisdiction in which you reside within the United States or Canada. One arbitrator, who is selected under the AAA Rules and who has expertise in consumer disputes in the Internet industry, will conduct the arbitration. If no arbitrator possessing such expertise is available, then the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who is selected by the mutual written approval of the parties, or if the parties are unable to mutually approve the arbitrator, by the AAA. Except as allowed under applicable law and the AAA Rules, the decisions of the arbitrator will be binding and conclusive on all parties. Judgment upon any award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, in any arbitration proceeding with Disputes or Claims exceeding $10,000, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Unless otherwise provided herein, the AAA Rules will govern the payment of all arbitration fees. The arbitrator may make any determinations and resolve any Disputes or Claims as to the payment and reimbursement of arbitration fees at any time during the proceeding and within 14 days after the arbitrator’s final ruling on the merits. 
  5. Individual Arbitration; Waiver of Representative or Class Action. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim (except as to public injunctive relief if you are a resident of California or California law otherwise applies to these Terms of Use). Furthermore, these arbitration provisions shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, but without affecting the arbitrator’s exclusive right to decide all matters subject to arbitration as provided above. 

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT (except as to public injunctive relief if you are a resident of California or California law otherwise applies to these Terms of Use):

  • ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL DISPUTES OR CLAIMS (except as to public injunctive relief if you are a resident of California or California law otherwise applies to these Terms of Use).
  • UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES OR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING (except as to public injunctive relief if you are a resident of California or California law otherwise applies to these Terms of Use).
  • THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, IF THE ARBITRATOR REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE ABOVE PROVISIONS REGARDING CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, THEN THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO YOU. 
  1. Limitations Period.  The parties must bring any Arbitration Demand or small claims action regarding Disputes or Claims within two years after the events or circumstances upon which the Disputes or Claims are based originally arose, or the Disputes or Claims will be permanently barred by the statute of limitations. To the extent the law applicable under the Governing Law section below makes this limitations period unenforceable with respect to any Disputes or Claims, then the statutes of limitations of the state whose laws govern the AAA Rules under the Governing Law section below shall apply. 
  2. Confidentiality.  You and we agree to maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and shall not disclose the fact of the arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any discussions or mediation, proceedings of the arbitration, the arbitrator’s decision and the existence or amount of any award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration (in which case anyone becoming privy to confidential information must undertake to preserve its confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a provisional remedy in support of arbitration, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law.
  3. Changes to Arbitration Provisions. We may make changes to these arbitration provisions from time to time. You may reject any material changes by sending us written objection within 30 days of the change to HighRewards Dispute Resolution, HighRewards Inc., 7957 N University Dr PMB 2029, Parkland, FL 33067, USA, Attention: Legal Department. By rejecting any future material change, you are agreeing to arbitrate in accordance with the language of these provisions prior to such change. If you do not send written objection to any change as provided above, you are agreeing to arbitration in accordance with the changed language of these provisions. To the extent that an arbitrator determines that applying any changes to these arbitration provisions to any Disputes or Claims relating to prior events or circumstances would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract or otherwise violate your legal rights, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the effective date of such changes, and in that case any Disputes or Claims relating to such prior events or circumstances shall be arbitrated in accordance with the language of these provisions prior to such changes to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms being deemed illusory or unenforceable. 
  4. Small Claims Court Alternative. You may choose to pursue your Disputes or Claims in small claims court rather than by arbitration if your Disputes or Claims qualify for small claims court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over you and us is proper. 
  5. Excluded Disputes and Claims; Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding subsection A above, you or we may at any time bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction against the other party in relation to (and are not required to arbitrate) claims based upon infringement or misuse of intellectual property and/or misappropriation of trade secrets.  Furthermore, nothing shall be construed to preclude you or us from seeking injunctive relief in order to protect your or our rights pending an outcome of Disputes or Claims while in arbitration.  This paragraph is not intended by either party to affect, and shall not affect, the “clear and unmistakable” delegation of all matters to the arbitrator in Section 11.A above.
  6. Governing Law; Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to the AAA Rules, any Disputes or Claims arising between you and us arising out of or related in any way to the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services, privacy, data security, collection, use and sharing, advertising, purchase or other transactions, Rewards crediting, maintenance, or expiration, Account balances or closures, Promotions, or any emails, texts, or other communications with you, or arising out of or relating to any aspect of the transactions or relationship between you and us, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be governed by the internal laws of the state or province in which you reside (except that, if you reside outside of the United States and Canada, the internal laws of the State of California will govern), without regard to choice of law principles; provided, however, that the relationship and transactions between you and us evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act applies to and governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

Please note that if you uninstall the application without first unlinking your payment card, HighRewards will continue receiving transaction data for up to one hundred (100) days after you uninstall. This data will only be used as described above in the “use of transaction information” section outlined in the Points for Purchases Terms and Conditions for MasterCard cards or in the Points for Purchases Terms and Conditions for Visa cards and as described in this Privacy Policy.

12. Tax Matters

You acknowledge and agree that we do not have the ability, in every instance, to determine whether or not the Rewards you received or redeemed in any Rewards Program are considered reportable income or taxable earnings in your jurisdiction. You are therefore responsible for any and all tax liability arising from or associated with your use of the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services, including liability arising from your accrual of Rewards or your redemption of such Rewards. As a condition of your continued use of the HighRewards Sites and Features and our Services, we reserve the right to require you to provide necessary tax reporting information if our records show that you are or may be required to report the value of your redeemed Rewards to an appropriate tax authority.

13. Notification of Changes

We reserve the right to make changes to these Terms from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. If we decide to change these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes by sending you an administrative email and/or posting those changes in places on the HighRewards Sites and Features deemed appropriate by us so our users are always aware of the terms of their use of the HighRewards Sites and Features and our Services. Your continued use of any of the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services after delivery of the administrative email to you or after the changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, please close your Account and discontinue your use of such HighRewards Sites and Features and our Services. To the extent that an arbitrator (or small claims court, if applicable) determines that applying any changes to these Terms to any prior events or circumstances would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the date of such changes, to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms being deemed illusory or unenforceable. In any event, if you used any of the HighRewards Sites and Features or our Services pursuant to a prior version of these Terms that required a certain notice period to you prior to any changes being effective, any changes under these Terms will not be effective as to you until the required notice period has passed after the date of these Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

The Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator (or in the case of a small claims action, the small claims court) to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.E) the arbitrator or small claims court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision or the provision shall be deemed severable, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. The paragraph or section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms represent the entire understanding of the parties regarding its subject matter and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties regarding its subject matter, and may not be amended, altered, or waived except in a writing signed by the party to be charged or as otherwise expressly provided herein. These Terms are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of parties and their respective successors, heirs, executor, administrators, personal representatives and permitted assigns.
