RetailMeNot Receipt Scanning. You agree to at all times provide accurate and complete information to RetailMeNot.

RetailMeNot may, in its sole discretion, extend or shorten the redemption period for a Rewards Offer.

As between you and RetailMeNot, the determination as to what transactions are Qualifying Transactions shall be made by RetailMeNot in its sole discretion.

Bonus Rewards. From time to time, RetailMeNot may offer a Bonus Reward to certain RetailMeNot members who complete a qualifying activity or who meet certain criteria, as defined in a Rewards Offer Card or Promotion Landing Page, in addition to or in combination with offers for Online Cash Back Rewards or In-Store Cash Back Rewards. For example, RetailMeNot may offer certain Bonus Rewards to new members who earn an Online Cash Back Reward for the first time or earn certain Online Cash Back Rewards for the first time. In order to earn a Bonus Reward, you must satisfy all criteria set forth for earning the Bonus Reward as well as the requirements of these Promotion Terms during the promotion period for the Bonus Reward.

For any Rewards Offer, if you return or exchange the items purchased, complete your purchase before or after the Promotion Period, initiate a purchase that results in a chargeback, or fail to satisfy a Minimum Purchase Amount, or any other conditions specified on the Promotion Landing Page or Rewards Offer Card, RetailMeNot reserves the right to invalidate or withdraw all or part of the Rewards Offer, or reclaim Reward earnings. The determination of whether or not a purchase qualifies for the Rewards Offer and whether applicable conditions have been satisfied is at the sole discretion of RetailMeNot. In the event of a dispute, you may be required to provide your order confirmation as proof of purchase. If you believe a Qualifying Transaction was not properly tracked or credited, you must Customer Care and provide any requested documentation, including order confirmation, within ninety (90) days of the transaction date. Requests submitted after ninety (90) days are not eligible for manual review or adjustment. The timing of when an Approved Reward will be issued varies based on a number of factors. These factors may include the type of Promotion pursuant to which a Reward is offered and your account activity as a member of RetailMeNot. RetailMeNot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the order and timing in which to process its confirmation of eligible purchases. Rewards may be limited where participation exceeds the Total Rewards Offers available during Promotion or in other cases, as determined by RetailMeNot in its sole discretion. RetailMeNot also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reevaluate Approved Rewards, at any time, without notice, including, but not limited to, whether purchases qualify for the Promotion and whether applicable conditions have been satisfied, and RetailMeNot, in its sole discretion, may adjust or withdraw any Rewards Offers or any Approved Rewards (or reclaim Reward earnings), at any time, without notice. All decisions by RetailMeNot are final and binding on you.

Participating in a Rewards Offer does not give you ownership or any other legal claim to any Reward unless and until RetailMeNot, in its sole discretion, determines that you have met all eligibility criteria and fulfilled all requirements for the Promotion and you have completed the Redemption Process. Rewards Offers are offered by RetailMeNot on behalf of Issuer and Rewards are issued by Issuer and are not underwritten or funded by any other third party. You may not make any claims for Rewards Offers against Merchants or any other third party. Notwithstanding that Rewards Offers may include offers of cash, prior to redemption, Rewards Offers and Approved Rewards have no monetary value and you may not obtain any money or any other thing of value for any Approved Reward or participation in any Rewards Offer unless and until you complete the Redemption Process and a payment has been issued by RetailMeNot for Approved Rewards.

Wallet and Redeeming Rewards . Approved Rewards will be shown in the RetailMeNot Rewards Wallet. You have no vested rights in Approved Rewards unless and until you complete the Redemption Process. If your RetailMeNot account is terminated by RetailMeNot, as provided in these Promotion Terms or the Terms of Use, or if you elect to close your RetailMeNot account, you will no longer be permitted to access the Rewards Wallet or redeem Approved Rewards shown therein. You may redeem Approved Rewards for cash using PayPal or Venmo.

Redeeming for cash to Paypal or Venmo. In order to redeem Approved Rewards for cash via PayPal or Venmo, you must: (1) have or create a PayPal or Venmo Account that is linked to the phone number or email address, where applicable, that RetailMeNot has on file for you; (2) navigate to the “My Rewards” section of your account, click “Redeem Rewards”, and then click either “Paypal” or “Venmo”, as applicable; and (3) perform any actions specified in the RetailMeNot app or website, as modified from time to time in the sole discretion of RetailMeNot. For example, such actions may include, but are not limited to, authenticating your account by providing a US based cell phone number with SMS capabilities, re-entering a password, and clicking the appropriate link or button. Once you have completed the required steps to redeem Approved Rewards, RetailMeNot will issue a payment to the PayPal or Venmo Account, as applicable, that is linked to the email address, or phone number, as applicable, that you provided RetailMeNot at the time you created your account. An email or text message, where applicable, will be sent to that email address or phone number, where applicable, confirming that the payment has been issued. Generally, redemption of an Approved Reward will result in the issuing of payment within minutes, but in some cases may require a longer time period. RetailMeNot is not responsible for lost or stolen payments or for delivery of payments to the wrong PayPal or Venmo account.

If an account has not been credited with a Qualifying Transaction in the 12 months, it may be deemed an Inactive Cash Back Account. Accounts which meet this criteria will be debited a monthly maintenance fee in the amount of the lesser of $2.00 or the current account balance. Maintenance fees will not draw the account balance below $0.00. Maintenance fees will be assessed until the account balance reaches $0.00 or the account becomes an active cash back user again.

Forced Redemptions . You are responsible for ensuring compliance with any limitations or requirements specified by RetailMeNot from time to time, including, but not limited to, requirements not to redeem Approved Rewards that exceed amounts specified by RetailMeNot. RetailMeNot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to cause the redemption of Approved Rewards, in whole or in part, and issue payments to the PayPal or Venmo account linked to the email address or phone number that you provided RetailMeNot at the time you created your account, but RetailMeNot undertakes no obligation to do so under any circumstances. You hereby authorize RetailMeNot to perform any such redemptions and issue any such payments to the PayPal or Venmo account linked to the email address or phone number that you provided RetailMeNot at the time you created your account, automatically and without further action by you.

Abuse and Cancellations . RetailMeNot reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify a user’s account, entire Promotion, or any part of it, or the payment of any Rewards amounts at any time without obligation or notice to you, including, without limitation, if any fraud, technical failures, limit of available Rewards, gaming, human error or any other factor impairs the integrity, availability or proper functioning of the Promotion, as determined by RetailMeNot in its sole discretion. Without limiting anything in these Promotion Terms or the Terms of Use, RetailMeNot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify, terminate or suspend the participation in any Promotion, or otherwise prevent future participation, of any individual it finds, or reasonably suspects, to be tampering with the operation of a Promotion (including by submitting or attempting to submit fraudulent or ineligible Receipts) or to be acting in violation of the Promotion Terms or any promotion, or in behaving in an unethical, dishonest, deceptive or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion may be in violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, RetailMeNot reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. RetailMeNot shall not be liable to you for any suspension, modification or termination of a Rewards Offer, Approved Rewards, or the Promotion program.

Use of any automated means or more than one account is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of any dispute as to the qualification of potential recipients of a Reward, the authorized account holder of the email address or phone number provided to RetailMeNot at the time the account was created will be deemed the qualified Reward recipient. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential recipient of Rewards may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.

If your account remains inactive for 24 months, RetailMeNot reserves the right to permanently close the Account at which time the Cash Back Rewards will be considered expired and will no longer be eligible for redemption. Before closing the Account, RetailMeNot will attempt to alert you to the fact that your account may be shut down due to inactivity. No interest is paid on unredeemed Cash Back Rewards.

Premium Services : Certain Services provided by Ziff Davis require registration and payment (such Services are referred to collectively as the “Premium Services” ). You are responsible for paying any and all charges relating to your Premium Services account, including without limitation, periodic subscription fees (the initial fee and automatic renewals). You grant to Ziff Davis’ third party payment processor(s) permission to charge your credit card (or other approved payment mechanism) to pay for all such charges. The Premium Service subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each annual, quarterly or monthly renewal thereafter, dependent on the original subscription term selected at registration, unless you cancel at least ten (10) days prior to the renewal date pursuant to the process set forth below.

If Ziff Davis does not receive payment from the credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Premium Services, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT ZIFF DAVIS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

For CNET Cash Back and Rewards Services

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 Services.

Rewards. The Services enable you to access and earn rewards, subject to the guidelines herein (“Services”). CNET offers users opportunities to earn cash back on their purchases from Merchants activated by the creation of trackable links (“Links”) for a Merchant as a way to incentivize the purchase and promotion of the Merchant’s products. 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 qualifying transaction with a Merchant. The CNET cashback program is an incentive and promotional program.

Some transactions may not earn rewards or may earn at a rate different from the rate indicated by the Service. You are not guaranteed to earn a reward from a transaction for several reasons, without notice to you, including, without limitation:

Merchants may alter terms, conditions, or commission rates.

Merchants may discontinue their programs.

Merchants may exclude certain products from Reward eligibility.

Merchants may have technical failures which result in transactions failing to be tracked or attributed to you.

Links may fail to function properly.

Links may be disabled by web browsers or ad blockers.

Merchants may reject transactions due to suspected policy violations.

Other: charge-backs, product returns, accounting error, Merchant non-payment, fraudulent transactions, our inability to you to validate transactions, your inappropriate distribution of Links, or your failure to comply with Merchant policies.

If the Merchant pays less than the expected amount or does not pay a commission for the transaction, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to adjust or cancel the reward. Furthermore, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to withhold, cancel or adjust the amount of any reward, for any reason at any time. By using the Services, you accept this condition. CNET may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person, including any affiliate, without your consent.

Payout timing. We only provide a reward to you after a transaction is successfully tracked and completed, after we receive payment for that specific transaction from the Merchant, and after you accrue the Minimum Redemption Amount (as defined below). Merchants usually have holdback periods during which they hold a pending payment (for example, until the expiration of a return policy and/or until a service is consumed). Rewards remain in a pending state until we receive payment from the Merchant for the associated transaction. After we receive payment and you have accrued the Minimum Redemption Amount, you may request to redeem your rewards.

Coupons. Some rewards may include coupons, discounts or promotions from Merchants (“Offers”). We do not guarantee that Merchants 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 Merchants. Offers are not redeemable for any value with CNET.

Dormant accounts. If you have pending rewards and your account has no new activity (defined as the earning of a pending reward) for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, we reserve the right to assess a monthly Dormant Account Fee of up to $5.00 USD, until such time as your reward balance reaches $0.00, to recover the cost associated with maintenance of the account. Any Dormant Account Fee we apply may or may not be displayed in your user dashboard. If your account has no new activity for a period of twelve (12) months, we reserve the right to void any remaining balance of rewards in your account.

Tax. You are solely responsible for independently assessing and complying with all relevant tax and legal requirements. We shall not provide you with tax or legal advice.

Cookies. Some Merchants may place cookies (or other tracking beacons) on your device to recognize your device during a subsequent visit. 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.

Third-Party Services. We do not endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or content of Merchants or other third parties. We are not an agent, broker or otherwise responsible for any Merchant’s activities, policies, products or services.
