(ii) you have completed the account creation process via the App, including you receiving a confirmation email that your Account has been created and you entering any verification or other codes sent to your email in the App to activate your Account;

(iii) you have provided details of your Eligible Payment Method in the manner provided for in the App;

(iv)if required by the App, you have specified the Organisations that you would like to receive contributions with respect of your purchases with Sponsors; and 

(v) if requested, you have provided us with any other information or documentation that we require in connection with your use of the App or your dealings with us.

(b) We may choose to notify you of whether you have satisfied the Conditions Precedent or not, but any failure for us to notify you that you have satisfied the Conditions Precedent should not be taken as an admission that you have satisfied the Conditions Precedent. 

(c) If you have not satisfied the Conditions Precedent within 60 days of the date you have downloaded the App, then we may immediately terminate this Agreement by notice in writing.  

4. HOW OUR BUSINESS WORKS

4.1 Which Organisation will receive a Contribution

(a) The way our business and the App works is that you, as the user of the App and the one making the purchase, have the power to determine which Organisation receives the contribution in respect of your purchase from a Sponsor.  You do this by specifying your Nominated Organisation via the App (or in another manner acceptable to us), which at the date of these T&Cs is referred to as your ‘default’ organisation.  You may update your Nominated Organisation from time to time via the App.  

(b) Generally, the Contribution will be paid to your Nominated Organisation that you have selected at the time you make the Eligible Purchase, as that is when our systems match your payment details with the payment to the Sponsor and when our system checks the App to see who your Nominated Organisation is.  

(c) However, if you have recently changed your Nominated Organisations and there are delays in the processing of the payment or a failure in our systems, then there could be circumstances where the Contribution is credited to the Organisation you nominated shortly prior to or after the time of the Eligible Purchase.  While we will use our best endeavours to ensure this does not occur, you acknowledge that these errors may occur from time to time and that we are not liable to you in respect of any claims for such errors. 

(d) If, at the time of an Eligible Purchase, you have not specified the Organisation that is to receive your contributions or you have nominated us to determine which organisation is to receive contributions, then:

(i) we will determine, in our discretion and from time to time, which organisation receives the Contribution in respect of your Eligible Purchase, which may depend on any statements we have made to the public or you in respect of a period (but we are not bound by any such statements to the extent the law permits); and

(ii) the organisation that we determine under paragraph (i) above will be considered the ‘Nominated Organisation’ in respect of that Eligible Purchase for the purposes of this Agreement and we will pay the Contribution to them in accordance with our agreement with them.  

(e) Despite the above, we allow Sponsors to decide whether they are an Exclusive Sponsor (which refers to a Sponsor who gets to choose the Organisations that it wants contributions to be paid to), so if you make a purchase with an Exclusive Sponsor and your Nominated Organisation is not one of the Organisations that the Exclusive Sponsor has also nominated to receive contributions, then your purchase will not be an Eligible Purchase.  

(f) While we have endeavoured to design the App on the basis that the App will only display non-Exclusive Sponsors and Exclusive Sponsors whose chosen Organisations include your Nominated Organisation (so that you know when a purchase will be an Eligible Purchase and contribution will be paid to your Nominated Organisation), there may be circumstances where Exclusive Sponsors are displayed in the App and your Nominated Organisation is not one of the Organisations they have selected to receive contributions (including where you have recently changed your Nominated Organisation and the App has not updated to reflect that change or due to failures in our systems).  To the extent the law permits, you release us, any Service Provider (including Fidel) and any Payment Card Network, from any liability for allowing Sponsors to be displayed in the App where your purchase with them does not lead to a contribution being paid to your Nominated Organisation. 

4.2 How the amount of the Contribution is calculated

(a) The amount of any Contribution that we may make in respect of your Eligible Purchase will be calculated in accordance with the Sponsor Agreement, which will generally be determined by multiplying the Contribution % to the Price.  We will reasonably determine the precise amount of the Contribution (including by reference to what aspects of the Price include VAT). For example, generally for an Eligible Purchase where the Price is £100 (including VAT) and the Sponsor’s Contribution % is 6% at the time, then the Contribution will be £6.00 (plus any applicable VAT).  Sponsors are entitled generally to change their Contribution % by notice to us from time to time.    

(b) The Contribution % will generally be the % displayed in the App in respect of the relevant Sponsor (which at the date of these T&Cs is generally the ‘Sponsorship %’ displayed in the App or any replacement term used in the App).  However, , for the avoidance of doubt, the Contribution % but does not include any discount %, rather that % relates to any discounts the Sponsor may choose to provide you for purchasing the Sponsor’s products if your purchase with them is an Eligible Purchase).  We endeavour to ensure that the relevant percentage specified in the App equals the Contribution % that we are legally entitled to charge the Sponsor under the Sponsor Agreement.   However, if our Sponsor Agreement provides for a different Contribution % to that displayed in the App, the Contribution % provided for in the Sponsor Agreement will determine the amount of any Contribution to be paid based on the Price.  

4.3 When Contributions are paid

(a) We only pay a Contribution to the Nominated Organisation if we receive payment from the Sponsor of the corresponding amount plus the other fees we charge to the relevant Sponsor.  That is, we do not guarantee that the Contribution will be paid to the Nominated Organisation if we are not paid by the Sponsor.  

(b) We will pay the Contribution to the Nominated Organisation in accordance with our agreement with the relevant Nominated Organisation, which generally provide for payment to be made within 15 days of the end of the month in which we receive the corresponding payment from the Sponsor.  

4.4 Purchases from Sponsors

(a) As we are merely a technology service provider, you acknowledge that the Sponsor is solely responsible for all transactions with you, including in respect of the quality and Price of any products you have purchased and managing any disputes with you (including in respect of any refunds).  

(b) We are not in any way liable for any claims made by you in connection with any Eligible Purchase (or any other purchase of products from a Sponsor) or any failure on the Sponsor’s part to adhere to any agreement with you or any applicable laws (such as consumer guarantees).  

(c) A purchase made by you will not be considered an ‘Eligible Purchase’ if it is not a retail purchase, and any cash withdrawal, cash advance, card check transaction, instant loan or similar transaction will not be considered an ‘Eligible Purchase’.

(d) You agree not to raise any claims against us, any Service Provider nor any Payment Card Network, nor seek to make us, any Service Provider or any Payment Card Network liable in connection with any dispute that you have with a Sponsor in respect of any purchase you have made with them.  

4.5 Payment methods

(a) At the time these T&Cs were adopted, our systems may only be able to match purchases you have made with Sponsors by reference to any Visa or Mastercard details you have expressly notified to us via the relevant part of the App for that purpose (which is referred to as the ‘Eligible Payment Method’ in these T&Cs and, at the date these T&Cs were adopted, is under the ‘Linked Cards’ part of the App).  

(b) If you make a purchase with a Sponsor via a means other than the Eligible Payment Method, then no contributions will be made in respect of your purchase with the Sponsor.  That is because we can only match your purchases with the Eligible Payment Method of our Sponsors where you have made the purchase with the approved Eligible Payment Method advised to us via the App at the time of the purchase.     

(c) Please note that we do not process payments in respect of Eligible Purchases (or any other purchase you make with a Sponsor), rather any payments for the goods, services or other products of a Sponsor will be processed by (or on behalf of) the Sponsor.  Despite the Sponsor facilitating payment in respect of any purchases you make with them, we require details of your Eligible Payment Methods so that we can match your purchases with the Sponsor to determine whether an Eligible Purchase has occurred and to link any Eligible Purchase you have made to your Nominated Organisation to facilitate the payment of a Contribution to them in respect of your Eligible Purchase.  

(d) We will keep the details of your Eligible Payment Methods confidential and will only disclose them to the extent required to give effect to this Agreement, to our Service Providers, our Organisation Agreements, Sponsor Agreements or as otherwise required by law.  You may delete details of your Eligible Payment Methods via the App, but such deletion should not be taken as an agreement on our part to permanently erase such Eligible Payment Methods (unless you specifically request this in writing and we confirm same), as we may require details of your Eligible Payment Methods to verify Eligible Purchases you have made in the past or assist in resolving any dispute with you, Sponsors or Organisations.  However, if you want to opt out of transaction monitoring on your cards, then please notify us in writing and we will do so where required by law or any schemes relating to transaction monitoring by which we are bound.

(e) We currently use Fidel and the Payment Card Networks (including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) to monitor card transactions for your participation in our program and App. Your agreement to the various Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) authorises Fidel and the Payment Card Network to monitor the transactions made with your registered Linked Card at participating merchants and Sponsors to confirm Eligible Purchases. The data collected from Fidel includes your registered card identifier, merchant/Sponsor’s location, transaction date/time and amount.

(f) By registering a payment card in connection with transaction monitoring (including by specifying a Linked Card via the App), you authorise us to share your payment card information with Payment Card Networks (including Visa, Mastercard and American Express) so they know you have enrolled. You authorise the Payment Card Networks to monitor transactions on your Linked Card(s) to identify Eligible Purchases in order to determine whether you have qualified for or earned an offer on your Linked Card, and for Payment Card Networks to share such transaction details with us and participating merchants/Sponsors to ascertain whether an Eligible Purchase has been made and to enable your Linked Card offer(s) and provide offers that may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of transaction monitoring on the Linked Card(s) you have registered by navigating to your settings menu to remove your Linked Card(s)

(g) We may in our sole discretion, remove any Linked Card or refuse any request of a Linked Card, if you attempt to link a card that falls outside the Eligible Payment Method, including but not limited to prepaid cards of any kind whether or not they are processed via Visa or Mastercard.  

(h) We are not under any obligation to determine the eligibility of any card prior to you making a link request pursuant to this agreement or via the App, and we and the Service Providers shall have the right to remove any such card from eligibility at any time and for any reason. Not all Visa, MasterCard, and American Express cards are eligible for registration as a Linked Card (including PIN based purchases on debit cards. Debit transactions should be put through as a credit and/or authorised). Visa, MasterCard, and American Express corporate cards, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express purchasing cards, non-reloadable prepaid cards, government-administered prepaid cards (including EBT cards), healthcare (including Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or insurance prepaid cards, Visa Buxx, and Visa-, MasterCard-, and American Express- branded cards whose transactions are not processed through the Visa payment system, MasterCard payment system, and/or American Express payment system are not Eligible Payment Methods.

4.6 Reporting

(a) despite any indications in such reports or notifications, each Contribution will be paid to the Nominated Organisation in accordance with the Organisation Agreement with them (so payment may not have been made at the time you receive the report or notification); and 

(b) if you have any queries or concerns with any reports or notifications sent to you by us, please contact us via our Website.   

4.7 The Leaderboard on the App

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Leaderboard will not display which Sponsor you made Eligible Purchases from, instead the Leaderboard will only specify the amount of the Contributions made to each Organisation on your behalf or an anonymised transaction value).
