Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of any such changes.

You may use the Services only for your own noncommercial personal use and in compliance with these Terms.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities occurring under your account or password. You agree to notify us immediately in the event of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security.

2. Additional Terms and Conditions

You agree additional terms and conditions may apply to specific products, orders, or your use of certain portions of the Services, including with respect to ordering, shipping, and return policies and membership reward programs (“Additional Terms”). Such Additional Terms are made part of these Terms by reference. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms shall control.

3. Membership, Points Administration

The Services are available to Members who are thirteen (13) years and older and who have not been suspended or removed by PointClub for any reason. If any survey or study includes questions for a child under 13, respondents must secure parental consent before participating. Without limiting the foregoing, we will comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the collection of information from minors. For Members outside the U.S., other laws and regulations related to minors may apply.

Please note that no one who is located in Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, or Russia will be admitted as a Member or is otherwise allowed to use the Services.

We reserve the right to revoke your membership for any reason at any time including as a result of a violation of these Terms, without notice. Membership is void where prohibited by law.

We keep track of your earnings in the form of “points.” Each point you earn is worth 0.001 USD (i.e., 1,000 points is worth 1.00 USD). We reserve the right to change the dollar value of points upon forty-five (45) days’ written notice, through prominent announcements on the Site and elsewhere, including email, alerting you to these changes. Any such changes will affect new points earned but will not affect any points you’ve already earned.

“Pending” points are points earned for surveys completed but still await review, and therefore are not yet eligible for redemption. This process can take up to six (6) weeks to complete and for the points to post to your account. Once reviewed and approved, pending points become “banked” points and are immediately available for redemption. Points can only be redeemed in increments of 25,000. For example, if you have 27,000 banked points, you can redeem 25,000 points, leaving 2,000 points in your account. Likewise, if you have 55,000 banked points, you can redeem 50,000 points, leaving 5,000 points in your account.

Unless you are in the U.S. and it is your first redemption (such situations to be governed by the paragraph below), Points can be redeemed for a wide variety of gift cards to your favorite stores, restaurants, and entertainment, deposited to your PayPal account, or given to one of several charitable organizations listed on our Site. Funds are typically deposited in your PayPal account within ten (10) business days of the request. If you’ve opted to receive a specific gift card instead, the card will typically be sent in digital format within ten (10) business days to your PointClub email account.

Please note that if you are located in the U.S., the only way to redeem your first batch of Points is through receipt of a check by mail. In order to receive the check, you must provide a correct mailing address, which we will verify with the U.S. Postal Service before mailing the check. If we cannot confirm your address, or it is otherwise not correct, you will not be entitled to receive your reward. Subsequent redemptions may be done in accordance with the paragraph above (i.e., PayPal deposits, gift cards, et cetera).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rewards in connection with PointsPlus, regardless of where you are located and regardless of whether it is your first redemption, must be received in the form of a check sent to you by mail. In order to receive the check, you must provide a correct mailing address. If we cannot confirm your address, or it is otherwise not correct, you will not be entitled to receive your reward.

In any instance where you receive a check, we may deduct the applicable postage amount and an administration fee of at least .78 (seventy eight cents) from the value of your check.

Please note: When requesting a redemption of points to PayPal, the point reduction in your Point Bank will reflect the net point redemption (25,000, 50,000 etc) plus an additional 2% to cover the PayPal fee applied. This 2% additional redemption applies only to PayPal distributions and not gift card options.

For more information, visit PointClub’s Frequently Asked Questions page.

You acknowledge and agree a client may invalidate a survey that fails to pass a quality check, and in such cases any pending points associated with the particular survey will be removed from your account. You acknowledge and agree clients reserve the right to kick you out of a survey for any reason, including but not limited to you not fitting into the desired respondent pool, the client reaching or exceeding the desired number of respondents, and/or your failure to properly pass a quality check.

You also acknowledge and agree if you fail to log in to your PointClub account and meaningfully interact with the Site by navigating and clicking for twelve (12) months or longer, your account will be cancelled or deactivated, and any points earned and in your account at the time of removal will be deleted and no longer redeemable, regardless of balance available. This twelve (12) month period is subject to change on forty-five (45) days’ written notice.

In order to redeem earnings from activities on the Site, you must (A) have confirmed your email address by responding to any email sent to you from PointClub, AND (B) have completed a minimum of five (5) surveys have all been validated by a PointClub client. A survey has been completed if (1) the survey has been legitimately started on the Site, (2) the survey has been taken by you as a Member, (3) all survey questions have been successfully answered, and (4) you have been returned to the Site upon successful completion of the survey. Members who have not completed requirements (A) and (B) above will be denied redemption of earned points until both requirements have been fulfilled.

You acknowledge you are accessing the Services in the capacity of an independent contractor and no agency, partnership, join venture, employee-employer, or franchisor/franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.

You also acknowledge and agree that your participation in research is based on your desire to share opinions and provide feedback, and any consideration paid to you, including without limitation any points earned on the Site, is not calculated based on time spent by you and is not pro-rated on an hourly basis or otherwise.

Your participation in research is without the control or direction of any other party or entity, and in your participation you are exercising your own independent judgment and discretion. By being given the opportunity to participate and by receiving your earnings, you agree that any consideration paid to you represents fair value for your participation.

You agree to notify PointClub promptly of any changes in or to the information contained in your Member profile.

In addition to any and all other available remedies, PointClub may, without notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you are in violation of these Terms, in which case: (i) your membership will immediately be cancelled; and (ii) your access to the Services will immediately cease.
