4. ERRORS

4.1 We are constantly updating product and service offerings on the Service. We may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on our Site and other applications. The information found on the Service may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Products or services may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable on the Service and we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information found on the Service.

4.2 We reserve the right to change or update information on our Site and other applications and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice to you.

4.3 Users may direct Recoup to retrieve their own information maintained online by third-parties with which they have customer relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”). Recoup works with one or more online service providers to access this Account Information. Recoup makes no effort to review the Account Information for any purpose, including but not limited to accuracy, legality or non-infringement.

Recoup is not responsible for the products and services offered by or on third-party sites.

Recoup cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings or other service interruptions. Recoup cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings. For example, when displayed through the Services, Account Information is only as fresh as the time shown, which reflects when the information is obtained from such sites. Such information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the relevant sites. You can refresh your Account Information through the Services, in the manner prescribed in the associated instructions.

4.4 We are constantly updating our systems, algorithms, and machine learning models to identify fees, purchases, and the meta data associated with these transactions such as description, date, amount, merchant, etc. Due to the often abbreviated or cryptic line item description in a statement or receipt, sometimes a fee may be submitted to a financial institution or merchant for refund or other compensation that is not actually a fee or valid transaction. When this happens, and are informed in a timely manner by you, we take every measure to update our systems to prevent such from happening in the future. We are not responsible for any consequence this may cause in your relationship with your financial institution or merchant; you agree to hold us harmless and indemnify us from such.

5.1 The Service may contain links to third-party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by us.

We strongly advise you to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that you visit.

Dispute Resolution – Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND Recoup CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND Recoup TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to your use of the Site, you will contact us at https://www.recoup.com/contact-us and you and Recoup will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the maker directly. You agree that if the maker remains unresolved for 30 days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery), such maker will be deemed a “Dispute” as defined below. Except for the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief described under “Binding Arbitration” section below, should you file any arbitration claims, or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the maker by mediation, then you agree that you will not be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, even if you may have been entitled to them otherwise

Binding Arbitration. You and Recoup agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to your use of the Site (collectively “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. This means that you and Recoup both agree to waive the right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring a claim against Recoup in “small claims” court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis.

Class Action Waiver. You and Recoup agree that any proceedings to resolve Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and Recoup both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless you and Recoup agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.

Arbitration Administration and Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution’ section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879).

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Georgia and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Recoup agree otherwise, the seat of the arbitration shall be in Atlanta, Georgia. If your claim does not exceed USD$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Recoup submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds USD$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by AAA Rules. Subject to AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video conference if requested and agreed to by the parties.

Arbitrator’s Decision and Governing Law. The arbitrator shall apply Georgia law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

Fees. Each party’s responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the AAA Rules.

12. RECOUP REWARDS

12.1. Earning Rewards – Notice of Financial Incentives
To begin earning Recoup points and badges, you must download the App and follow the enrollment instructions, including by signing up using a valid email address, providing your legal name, date of birth, gender, annual income, valid profile photo, and other data so that Recoup can verify your identity. You must also link a valid qualifying bank, debit or credit card to your Recoup account in order to be eligible to earn Recoup points and badges. Some exclusions may apply and Recoup reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a linked bank, debit or credit card qualifies to participate and earn Recoup points and badges. Only individuals who are residents of the United States (the “Territories”), who are at least 18 years old, and who provide valid and accurate personal information when enrolling are eligible to earn rewards. Corporations and other entities are not eligible. Individuals under the age of 18 are not eligible. Recoup points are not available to residents outside of the Territories.

By using Recoup’s Services, you will have the opportunity to earn Recoup points and badges based on actions that you may take or transactions that you may conduct as described in a particular offer (“Recoup Offer”) made by Recoup, by a Recoup merchant or by another third party via the Site or App. Recoup Offers and rewards may be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions that are set by us, a merchant or third party. Such terms, conditions and restrictions may be updated, modified, suspended, or cancelled at any time without notice to you. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of any Recoup Offer, unless explicitly provided otherwise in these Terms, the Recoup Offer terms and conditions will control. Recoup Offers, points, badges, and rewards are not transferable. Recoup Offers may not be made available to all users.

Sometimes, merchants and promotional partners determine whether you have satisfied the conditions of the Recoup Offer. Recoup does not control the merchants and is bound by their decisions. If you disagree with any merchant’s decision, you may dispute that issue directly with the merchant but agree that we and our technology partners have no liability to you for such claim or with respect to any other dispute or interaction between you and the merchant.

Points and badges are earned as described in a Recoup Offer, or when made on an eligible purchase are based on your net purchase amount, which excludes taxes, fees, shipping, gift-wrapping, discounts or credits, returns or cancellations, and extended warranties. When points and badges are earned on net dollars spent (up to two decimals) for points-eligible purchases, and are rounded down. No points or badges will be earned for any actions prior to both: February 3, 2021 and creating an account with Recoup and linking your applicable bank, credit or debit card to your Recoup account. Points and badges are not transferable. Different accounts cannot be combined, and no joint accounts are permitted. Rewards, user accounts, and benefits are non-transferrable. Purchases of gift cards do not qualify for rewards. Purchases of other categories of products and/or services may not qualify for rewards as determined by Recoup in its sole discretion and as required by law (and notwithstanding any inconsistent terms and conditions contained in a Recoup Offer). Point and badges amounts may vary by offer, partner, activity, action, merchant, store and product category and may contain exclusions in the terms of the offer and/or the applicable store page. Please review these terms carefully.

Points and badges will only be issued for bona-fide completed actions and transactions as described in a Recoup Offer. Unless otherwise expressly stated in a Recoup Offer, each Recoup Offer is limited to one (1) per user/account. You may not set up multiple accounts for yourself, your family members and other affiliates, impersonate or use another person’s account, or use any manual or automated means (such as for example, a macro, script, ‘bot, use of a ‘click farm’, etc.), or engage in any other behavior or use of our products that is inconsistent with their normal and intended use, to circumvent these restrictions. If we or a merchant determine that you attempted to earn points using such methods or any other fraudulent or deceptive means, we reserve the right to cancel any and all of your points, terminate your user account, and/or report you to the authorities. We reserve the right to investigate any transaction or activity that we believe, in our sole discretion, is abusing or has abused any Recoup Offer, reward or other promotion that we or any third party may provide through us.

If your bank, debit, or credit card is delinked for any reason, including insufficient activity, you will retain any earned points but will not be presented with Recoup Offers during the period of delinking. You may have to pay a fee to relink an unlinked bank, debit, or credit card.

We do not warrant the accuracy of timeliness of the information displayed via the Site, App or the Services. Descriptions of Recoup Offers may include inaccuracies or typographical or other errors. You agree that neither we nor the merchant/partner(s) are responsible for such errors and that both we and the merchant reserve the right to correct them when they are discovered. We and our merchants/partners reserve the right to cancel all transactions affected by such errors, refund all amounts paid and cancel all points associated with such transactions, without any liability to you.

12.2. Qualifying Transactions
Recoup needs to protect the program for all users by ensuring that points are earned for legitimate consumer actions and transactions. Recoup users are only permitted to earn points with Recoup in connection with activity or spending activity for non-commercial, personal and household purposes (“Qualifying Transactions”). Recoup users are not permitted to earn points or badges in connection with spending for commercial purposes (e.g. in connection with a business). Recoup users may be limited to earning a certain number of points and badges per session, calendar day, calendar week (Sunday – Saturday) in connection with bank, debit, or card-linked offers selected upon onboarding. Recoup has no responsibility of presenting the same Recoup Offers, points or badge values to all users equally. Recoup Offers may be calculated and presented dynamically on a user by user basis.

If you are permitted to link a shared bank, credit or debit card account to your Recoup account (a “Shared Account”), only one of the Shared Account users will be permitted to earn points on each Recoup Offer, on a first-come-first-served basis. Recoup maintains the right to review the accrual of points and to determine, in Recoup’s absolute discretion, if certain transactions qualify for Recoup Offers. Certain spending including, but not limited to, repeat purchases, high-value purchases, purchases of gift cards, and purchases made for commercial, non-personal or non-household purposes, may not, at Recoup’s absolute discretion, be considered Qualifying Transactions and may be ineligible for Recoup points. Recoup may reverse point accruals that have already been processed if a transaction is deemed by Recoup, upon review, to not constitute a Qualifying Transaction. Recoup may also disable and, or, block accounts that engage in repeated non-Qualifying Transaction activity. Not all Qualifying Transactions may be eligible for points if we are unable to obtain certain transaction information from the payment card network associated with your Account Information.

Without limiting any of the other terms of this Agreement, if you return, charge back, cancel, dispute, or otherwise request a refund for a Qualifying Transaction for which you have already received points, we will reduce the balance of points in your account by the amount of points you received for such transaction. If the balance of points in your account is less than the amount of points you received for such transaction, we will offset the applicable number of points from the points you would otherwise receive for future qualifying actions. It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that points have been properly credited and that your account balance is accurate. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to cease use of the Site, App and the Services.

12.3. Redemption of Recoup Points and Badges
Recoup points and badges are valid and redeemable via the App. Recoup points and badges have no cash, monetary or other value and cannot be converted into any currency. Recoup points and badges may be redeemed for various rewards that we make available, and that may change, from time to time. The representative value of Recoup points and badges will be applied against the pre-tax purchase amount (i.e., excluding taxes, fees, and shipping and handling charges). The maximum amount of Recoup points and badges that can be redeemed for rewards in any calendar may be limited, on a user-by-user basis, at Recoup’s discretion.

You may use our App to redeem points and badges for the rewards that we make available. You may redeem points and badges in accordance with such terms and conditions and upon payment of such fees as we may determine at any time. You will be responsible for paying all taxes, fees, and any applicable shipping and handling charges or other fees. Recoup points and badges are not transferable and may not be combined with other promotions or other discounts. The number of points and badges recorded in your account and the number of points and badges required to obtain any particular reward are subject to verification by us. Once a reward has been requested or redeemed by a user, no changes, refunds or return of points are permitted for any reason. Recoup is not responsible for hacked, lost or stolen points, badges, or rewards. It is your responsibility to secure and protect your credentials, hardware and access to your software and apps. All rewards are offered subject to availability and restrictions imposed by the reward suppliers. We assume no responsibility for any loss, damage, defect, injury, death or expense relating to any reward or rewards processing or shipment, or for your rewards not turning out as you expected for whatever reason. If any Recoup points, badges, or rewards are believed to have been sold, exchanged, or obtained fraudulently, or issued to someone other than the registered user of the applicable account, those points or rewards will be void and will not be honored.

You are responsible for all taxes applicable to any amounts payable to us. We will determine the applicable taxes on the basis of the province in which you reside, as shown in our records at time of payment.

You can check your Recoup points and badges balance by logging into your Recoup account on the App. A valid Recoup account is required to check your points balance. Recoup will attempt to credit accounts with points and badges on a timely basis. Recoup Offers may indicate that points and badges will be accrued immediately upon a Qualifying Purchase or, on the other hand, after additional requirements are satisfied (for example, after a purchased product refund period has expired or after purchased travel has been completed). Recoup points and badges will accrue as described in a Recoup Offer, and may take several days (sometimes up to 120 days) to be updated to your account upon such accrual. Any claim for points and badges not credited accurately must be received by Recoup within 30 days of the date on which the user claims the points or badges should have been accrued. Recoup will have no liability for any failure, delay, or error in crediting points to your account.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DENY YOU POINTS, AND EVEN DEDUCT POINTS, ON SCANNED RECEIPTS FOR ANY REASON AT ANY TIME. FOR INSTANCE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE RECEIPTS ARE TOO SIMILAR, OR DUPLICATES, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. FOR INSTANCE, MERCHANT, AMOUNT, LOCATION, SKU, ETC

12.4. Expiration, Inactivity & Cancellation
Recoup is free to use, however, we do deduct points for various activities including inactive accounts, non-engagement with our app, and various other activities at Recoup’s discretion. An account is considered to be “inactive” if you do not open the Recoup app (while logged-in to Recoup), during a thirty (30) day period.

If your account is terminated or disabled for any reason, including but not limited, to using harassing, bullying, vulgar, or gibberish language in Recoup’s app, in merchant reviews, or to our customer service, multiple attempts at non-Qualifying Transactions or other fraudulent activity, then your existing Recoup points will be forfeited and any further transactions which might otherwise earn you Recoup points will not be deemed to be applicable.

You may cancel your account and participation in the rewards program by contacting Recoup at https://www.recoup.com/contact-us with such request. All earned and unredeemed points and badges will be forfeited immediately upon cancellation and may not be reinstated or transferred.

Recoup may cancel your accumulated points and badges, suspend your benefits, or cancel your account at any time with immediate effect and without written notice, for any reason and in Recoup’s sole discretion, including in instances where Recoup believes that you have (i) acted in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws or regulations, (ii) failed to pay Recoup or its merchants/partners amounts due, (iii) acted in an inappropriate, fraudulent, abusive, or hostile manner, (iv) breached or violated any of these Terms of Service, or (v) engaged in any misconduct or wrongdoing in connection with the Site, App or Services. Nothing contained in these Terms of Service will limit Recoup in the exercise of any legal or equitable rights or remedies.

Recoup points and badges and other related benefits and services are the sole property of Recoup, and are not the property of the users. Points and badges have no cash value and Recoup will not compensate or pay cash, cash equivalent, or credit for any forfeited or unused points. Whether you may re-enroll in the Services after a termination is at Recoup’s sole discretion. In any event, previously earned points that were forfeited will not be credited to you.

Recoup points and badges and required actions to earn points and badges may change on a day to day basis.

12.5 No Guarantee Of Points or Badges

Throughout our app, Recoup may state the approximate number of points that can be earned for taking a certain action. For instance, you may see a colored pill that says “+100” next to a transaction. This is an approximate number of points you may earn if you take all required steps to earn those points. Points awards are randomized. For instance, you may be asked to rate, create a video review, create a written review, scan a receipts, get a certain number of likes on a video review, share with friends, and other such actions to earn the stated points. Each points opportunity may have several steps to earn the approximated points. All points are pending until such time that they are reviewed by Recoup. All points are accumulated and in a pending state until such time that users also earn badges in order to convert points into a cash payout. Cash payouts have minimum points and badges required to cash out, may have transaction fees for cashing out, and may include setup fees for verifying your identity when you first enroll an eligible bank, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, or other such payment account in order to receive cash payouts.

12.6. Modification and Termination of the Rewards Program and Benefits
Recoup may change or terminate the rewards program, associated points and badges or other rewards and benefits at any time, for any reason and without notice. Recoup may make changes that affect, without limitation, processes, benefits, levels, rules for earning and redeeming points, point redemption levels, rules for the use of points and badges, availability of points and badges, reward types, availability of Recoup Offers, and participation in the rewards program and program benefits.

Recoup may terminate the rewards program with two week’s advance notice to all active users. At Recoup’s sole discretion, Recoup may choose to substitute a similar rewards program at any time immediately upon notice to active users. A user may not accumulate or redeem points or any other benefits after the termination of the program. If the program is terminated, upon termination, all unredeemed points will be forfeited without any obligation or liability, and points or badge claims will no longer be honored. Recoup may terminate the program in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, on less than two week’s notice if required to do so by applicable law, as determined by Recoup in its reasonable discretion.

All rewards program benefits, offers, rewards, and services are subject to availability and may be changed at any time without notice. By accepting rewards program benefits, offers, rewards, and services, including points or badges, each user acknowledges that he or she is responsible for determining whether he or she is eligible to receive the benefits, offers, rewards, or services (including points and badges) under applicable laws, gift policies, and incentive policies. At any time and in Recoup’s sole discretion (including where a user was not eligible to earn certain points according to these Terms of Service), Recoup may correct the amount of points shown as credited to a user’s account.

12.6. Third-Party Links
Some parts of the Services are supported by sponsored links from advertisers and display Recoup Offers that may be custom matched to you based on information stored in the Services, queries made through the Services or other information.

Recoup may, in connection with Recoup Offers and otherwise, provide links from the Site, the App and the Services to other web sites belonging to Recoup advertisers and other third parties. If you use these links, you may leave Recoup’s Site, App and Services.

You warrant that any such contribution does comply with those standards, and you will be liable to us and indemnify us for any breach of that warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty.

Any User Content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You must not post any User Content on or through the Services or transmit to us any User Content that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

If you only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not post such sound recordings to the Services unless you have all permissions, clearances from, or are authorized by, the owner of any part of the content to submit it to the Services

You or the owner of your User Content still own the copyright in User Content sent to us, but by submitting User Content via the Services, you hereby grant us an unconditional irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable, perpetual worldwide license to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and/or distribute and to authorize other users of the Services and other third-parties to view, access, use, download, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit your User Content in any format and on any platform, either now known or hereinafter invented.

You further grant us a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify you as the source of any of your User Content; provided, however, that your ability to provide an image, voice, and likeness may be subject to limitations due to age restrictions.

For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs of this Section include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings), and publicly perform and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are granting us the right to use your User Content without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including, but not limited to, a sound recording copyright owner (e.g., a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g., a music publisher), a performing rights organization (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.) (a “PRO”), a sound recording PRO (e.g., SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers or other royalty participants involved in the creation of User Content.

Specific Rules for Musical Works and for Recording Artists. If you are a composer or author of a musical work and are affiliated with a PRO, then you must notify your PRO of the royalty-free license you grant through these Terms in your User Content to us. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with the relevant PRO’s reporting obligations. If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant the royalty-free license(s) set forth in these Terms in your User Content or have such music publisher enter into these Terms with us. Just because you authored a musical work (e.g., wrote a song) does not mean you have the right to grant us the licenses in these Terms. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is in compliance with any contractual obligations you may have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the Services that may be claimed by your label.
