Rewards Programs

Prizebear may provide one or more rewards programs (collectively, the “Rewards Programs”), allowing you to earn various forms of points, coins, dollar amounts, or other credits/rewards (together, “Rewards”) by participating in or interacting with game offers, advertising, content, shopping deals, special promotions, surveys, coupons, location-based offers, and other similar earning opportunities (“Offers”).

Regardless of whether Rewards are represented as points or dollar amounts, they hold no actual cash or monetary value and may only be redeemed for gift cards or other prizes or redemption options periodically offered through the Rewards Programs (“Redemption Prizes”). Such redemptions are subject to these Terms of Service and any redemption requirements in effect at the time of redemption.

Rewards Have No Monetary Value and Are Nontransferable

You acknowledge and agree that any Rewards not yet redeemed in your account have no cash or monetary value, remain the sole property of Prizebear, and may only be redeemed for the Redemption Prizes that Prizebear chooses to offer from time to time, in accordance with these Terms of Service and the then-current requirements for redemption in the Rewards Programs.

Rewards

You can earn Rewards in a Rewards Program by taking part in various Offers as outlined by that specific Rewards Program. Subject to the other conditions of these Terms of Service, Prizebear will deposit any Rewards you earn into the account you set up when joining the Rewards Program (the “Account”).

Rewards are considered earned only after you have completely and correctly met all requirements of the Offer in the manner described (including any time limits or waiting periods for Offer completion), complied with these Terms of Service, and Prizebear and/or its third-party Rewards Program partners have successfully tracked, validated, and recorded your participation.

To clarify, Prizebear is neither responsible for nor obligated to provide Rewards to you for any Offer that cannot be properly tracked, validated, or confirmed as successfully completed under Prizebear’s (and/or its third-party partners’) policies, processes, and systems. In some cases, a third-party Rewards Program partner, instead of Prizebear, may have the final say on whether an Offer qualifies as successfully completed and yields a Reward.

Carefully review all applicable terms related to Offers and Rewards before deciding whether to participate. We also reserve the right to (i) modify or limit the Offers or Rewards available, or restrict your ability to participate in certain Offers or the Rewards Programs themselves, (ii) adjust or limit eligibility criteria or allowable frequency for certain Offers, and (iii) alter or limit the amount or types of Rewards you can earn from a specific Offer or within a certain period. All such changes or limitations may apply to past, present, and future Rewards unless otherwise expressly stated.

Redeeming Rewards

Subject to other provisions in these Terms of Service, you may redeem the Rewards in your Account for applicable Redemption Prizes, according to the redemption requirements then in effect for the relevant Rewards Program.

Redemption Prizes may have limited availability. Prizes may be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, and only while supplies last. If you attempt to redeem Rewards for a particular Redemption Prize and Prizebear determines that the item is no longer available or cannot be provided for any reason, Prizebear may, at its sole discretion, provide a Redemption Prize of equal or greater value instead.

All redemptions are final, and redeemed items cannot be returned for credit unless explicitly allowed by these Terms of Service or otherwise agreed to in writing by an authorized Prizebear representative. Once Rewards are redeemed successfully, no reversal, refund, or re-crediting of those Rewards will be issued. Similarly, once you have ordered and received a Redemption Prize, you cannot reverse or cancel that transaction or return the Redemption Prize for a refund or re-credit of your Rewards.

We reserve the right to hold any credited Rewards for up to 90 days after completion of an Offer.

Verifying Identity and Eligibility

Prizebear reserves the right to verify your identity to our satisfaction before crediting or allowing redemption of any Rewards, delivering or issuing any Redemption Prizes, or otherwise granting you access to or benefits from the Website, its features, or your Account. We may request this verification directly or through a third-party service, potentially requiring you to provide a copy of your passport, driver’s license, or state ID, or by having you verify the phone number associated with your Account. We may also require other proof of identity or eligibility as needed. Some of our services or Redemption Prizes may have additional eligibility requirements, and we reserve the right to confirm your eligibility using any methods we see fit. If you do not provide the requested documentation or proof, we may deny you access to or any benefits related to the Website or your Account.

Redemption Prizes

Redemption Prizes are digital and will be delivered electronically to the email address linked to your Account or otherwise specified in the applicable Rewards Program.

If we cannot deliver a Redemption Prize or it goes unclaimed for any reason, you authorize Prizebear, where possible, to cancel or reverse the redemption and restore the related Rewards to your Account so you can attempt to redeem them at a later time. However, Prizebear is not liable if it cannot cancel or reverse such a redemption and restore the associated Rewards.

Inactive Accounts

Any Account that remains inactive—meaning no log-ins or Reward-earning or Reward-redemption activity—for one (1) year or longer may be classified as inactive, and the Account may be closed. We may change our criteria or policies for inactivity in our Rewards Programs at any time; if your Account meets those updated criteria, we may close it accordingly, without compensation or further obligation to you. If you have questions or wish to request reactivation of an Account (subject to any terms, conditions, or requirements we may impose), please contact us at [email protected]

Rewards Expiration

We may implement or modify rules and policies regarding the expiration of Rewards (whether previously earned or yet to be earned). If, under our then-current rules, your Rewards are deemed expired, we may remove them from your Account without any compensation or further obligation to you. For questions regarding these policies or to request that expired Rewards be reinstated (subject to any conditions we impose), please contact us at [email protected].

Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions

Any sweepstakes, contests, or promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) offered via the Website or our services may be governed by separate promotional terms (“Additional Promotional Terms”), which could include official rules, eligibility criteria (e.g., age or geographical restrictions), terms and conditions, and information on how personal data is used. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and the Additional Promotional Terms, the latter will prevail.

It is your responsibility to review any applicable Additional Promotional Terms to decide whether to participate in or register for a Promotion. By taking part in a Promotion, you agree to follow the Additional Promotional Terms and abide by the decisions of the Promotion sponsor(s).

You understand and agree that the sponsors or partners of such Promotions may have their own independent terms and conditions. Please review those terms carefully.

Taxes

You acknowledge and agree that Prizebear may not be able, in every instance, to determine whether Rewards you earn or redeem represent taxable income in your jurisdiction. Consequently, you are solely responsible for any and all tax obligations arising from your use of the Website and/or your participation in the Rewards Program, including taxes on accrued or redeemed Rewards. As a condition of continued use of the Website and our services, we may request your tax information if it appears that you must report the value of redeemed Rewards to a tax authority. We encourage you to consult a tax professional to understand any applicable tax consequences.

Your Account

To access certain parts of the Website or its resources, you may be asked to provide registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you submit is accurate, current, and complete.

By using our services, you agree to receive essential service-related communications, such as notifications about your account, confirmations of transactions, and security updates, which are necessary for the service and cannot be opted out of. You may also receive messages about new features, offers, and updates. You can opt out of these additional messages at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in the email or adjusting your preferences in your account settings.

If you choose or are given a username, password, or other security details, you must treat them as confidential and must not share them with anyone else. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to allow others to access this Website or parts of it via your login credentials. If you become aware of unauthorized access to or use of your username, password, or other security information, you must promptly notify us. At the end of each session, ensure you log out of your account, especially when using public or shared computers.

We may disable any username, password, or other identifier at any time if, in our view, you have violated any part of these Terms of Service. Additionally, we may withdraw or change this Website, along with any features, services, or materials, at our sole discretion without notice.

At times, we may limit access to certain parts of the Website, or the entire Website, for any or all users. We are not liable if, for any reason, any part of the Website is unavailable or if you are restricted from using the site.
