OVERVIEW
BargainMatch is an online shopping application that combines price comparison with rewards discounts and online coupons. When users make purchases
online through the Web Application links, BargainMatch credits their accounts with a rebate, or reward, which, upon meeting certain qualifications, the
user can redeem as a payment in US Dollars.
Additionally, BargainMatch has partnered with Yahoo! to offer cash back rewards for searching. Every day you search using Yahoo! while you have the BargainMatch Extension installed, you'll be eligible for cash back rewards. The day after each day you are eligible, you'll see your rewards balance increase with a search rewards transaction
REWARDS PAYMENT METHOD
BargainMatch pays its members by check, sent through postal mail, and electronically via PayPal or other means as it determines appropriate.

To join BargainMatch and use our services, you must be at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you may join BargainMatch only with
the supervision and consent of your parent or legal guardian. If you are under 13 years of age, you may not join BargainMatch. All members receiving
payments via check must be U.S. residents. You must have Internet access and an email address to use BargainMatch, and we are not responsible for your
inability to connect to the Internet to access our Web Application or your account.
MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for maintaining accurate account information at all times, including valid email and mailing addresses. You are responsible for
keeping your email address, mailing address, password, and all other private information confidential. BargainMatch is not responsible for any changes
made to your account by any party that uses your email address and password. You are responsible for following the Terms of Service and policies, for
not engaging in inappropriate use of the BargainMatch Web Application and services offered or its affiliate merchant sites, or for not engaging in
fraudulent practices.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We will provide you with links on the BargainMatch Web Application to the websites of affiliated merchants. When you click one of these links and make
a qualifying purchase at that merchant's website, you will receive the specified amount of Rewards posted to your BargainMatch account for redemption
in US Dollars upon your request to do so. We will make every effort to accurately track and report your qualifying purchases, but you will not hold us
liable for any delays or failures in tracking or reporting that are the fault of the merchant in reporting your purchase to us. Furthermore, you will
not hold us liable for any technical failures that delay or prevent your purchase from being reported to us. If you have disabled cookies or other
technologies used in tracking purchases, this may be the cause of such technical failure. Other causes may include:
If you are a California resident, by using this Web Application, you explicitly waive the rights granted to you under California Civil Code 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
EXCEPTIONS
Occasionally purchases at our affiliated merchants' websites will not generate commissions for BargainMatch. These may include, but are not limited to,
gift certificates, gift cards, and other items determined by the merchant. BargainMatch is not obligated to pay Rewards for purchases that do not
generate a commission for BargainMatch or for which a merchant cancels a commission.
If you return an item to a merchant AFTER redeeming your your Rewards as actual compensation for the purchase of that item, BargainMatch has the right to recover this compensation from you and may take necessary actions, including check cancellation or deductions from your BargainMatch account.
PRICING & PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
BargainMatch strives to maintain the most accurate prices possible to give you the best comparison shopping experience; however, due to constant
changes made by retailers to product pricing we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our pricing. Additionally, based on product supply retailers will
occasionally sell out of certain inventory before we can update those products as Out of Stock in our database. BargainMatch is not responsible for
products on its Web Application that become unavailable or out of stock.
BargainMatch also strives to show accurate tax and shipping costs, however,, the tax and shipping costs shown are only estimates. Sales tax estimates are based on your zip code and the sales tax policies of the merchant. Shipping cost estimates are based on the shipping policies of the merchant, product weight, shipping destination, distribution center location, and carrier used (UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.). In some cases, however, BargainMatch is not provided with all information necessary to estimate the exact tax and shipping costs.
COUPONS
BargainMatch works with merchants to ensure that all coupons displayed are active and that any exceptions are listed with the coupon. Occasionally,
however, coupons may not work because of a merchant error or other technical error. Other times a specific item not listed in the exceptions will not
be eligible for the discount. BargainMatch is not responsible for any coupons that do not work. If you try to use a coupon and it doesn't work, please
report the issue to us and we will do our best to reactivate the coupon, get a new coupon, or provide clarification on why the coupon did not work.
ACCOUNT ACTIVATION AND INACTIVITY
Your account shall be deemed Active only after you have supplied BargainMatch with a valid email address, either via giving Us said address directly or
giving Us the appropriate permissions to access this email address from a universal login service such as Facebook Connect. Depending on the
implementation of BargainMatch that You use, You may see a cash back rewards balance (such as is present in the BargainMatch Browser Extension). Until
You activate your account, BargainMatch shall have no obligation to pay you this rewards amount, even if such amount exceeds the Minimum Payment
Threshold.
If, after activating Your account, you do not generate any valid transactions for a period of 365 consecutive days, you release all rights to rewards in your account, and such rewards shall automatically and immediately vest in BargainMatch without any requirement of notice to you.
PAYMENTS
The currency of all payments will be U.S. Dollars. We will only send out payments of rewards when you have at least $20.00 of "Available" rewards in
your BargainMatch account and you have requested a payment. BargainMatch accounts cannot be combined to achieve a total of $20.00 "Available" rewards
"Minimum Payment Threshold". BargainMatch reserves the right to change this Minimum Payment Threshold at its discretion. For example, if BargainMatch
offers a signup bonus of $5, it is free to adjust the Minimum Payment Threshold to $25.
Your rewards on a specific purchase will become "Available" after a waiting period, which we have standardized for all merchants to be a period of 90 days. The return time does not only reflect the time allowed to return the item to the merchant, but also the time allowed for the merchant to cancel the commission paid to BargainMatch for reasons including but not limited to returns due to product defect, invalid coupon use, or fraudulent orders. Once the return time has passed your earnings will become "Available" for withdrawal. This notwithstanding BargainMatch may choose to allow users to request rewards before such 90 day period is complete at its sole discretion.
BargainMatch is not responsible for any event beyond the control of BargainMatch that would prevent you from receiving your payment. Such an event may include, but is not limited to, lost mail or an error made by you in typing your mailing address, or a change of address of which you have not notified BargainMatch. BargainMatch reserves the right to withhold payment of Rewards deemed to be derived from fraudulent activity. If you feel your Rewards payment is being improperly withheld, please contact us and we will be happy to work through the issue with you.
