MEMBER INCENTIVE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.
Last Modified October 15, 2009
These terms and conditions describe the participation requirements for the LaptopReportCard.com membership
incentive program and its general membership policies.
LaptopReportCard.com
(LRC ) is solely
responsible for the administration of this membership incentive offer. The owners of trademarked
names and merchandise used in our promotions do not sponsor and have not endorsed this promotion,
nor are they affiliated with
LaptopReportCard.com
in any way.
All trademarks are the property of their respective owners with all rights reserved.
To become a
LaptopReportCard.com
member and participate in its membership incentive promotion, you
must be at least 18 years old and a legal resident of the United States with a valid email and mailing
address. If you do not meet these requirements, we ask that you do not complete the registration
process. Offer not valid to residents of Washington State and where prohibited by law.
How the Program Works:
This offer is available to US residents only. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. To receive
the Membership Incentive Promotion gift you must complete all of the steps outlined herein. Prospective
members must: (a) submit their zip code to determine geographic eligibility; (b) register with a
valid and deliverable email address; (c) submit accurate contact and demographic information including
a mailing address; (d) acquire two advertiser action points from each of
LRC 's three Offer Groups
for a total of six advertiser action points. Action points are earned when a
LRC user fully completes
an advertiser offer after accessing the offer by clicking on a link provided on the
LRC
website or
from the
LRC member area. Attempting to gain action points in any way other than clicking on the
advertiser links provided by
LRC will result in the cancellation of your
LRC membership. Please understand
that this means completing two offers from the Top Offers group, two offers from the Prime Offers
group, and two offers from the Premium Offers group. The Prime Offers group and Premium Offers group
may be accessed from the
LRC member area. (e) You must complete and return an Incentive Redemption
form after accumulating the required action points. The form may be downloaded from the member area
after you have earned six points. Please understand that failure to supply current and accurate address
and demographic information on the redemption form may hinder our ability to deliver the incentive
gift to you.
In cases of a financial offer such as a credit card, the card must be activated by making a purchase,
balance transfer or cash advance in order for the offer to be considered "completed", and
the user must remain a card holder for at least 60 days. For paid retail offers you must accept the
item/service and pay in full. If a product/item (not services) is returned or canceled, then credit
for the subsequent offer will not be awarded. Purchasing retail offers for resale or commercial purposes
is not allowed. In order to receive credit for any sponsor offers completed, the billing information
must match exactly to the information used when registering with
LRC . Additional terms and conditions
may apply to participation in select marketing offers. You should read the terms of each offer as
provided by the advertiser for an explanation of these terms where they exist.
LRC reserves the right to require individuals to provide documentation demonstrating they have completed
the advertiser requirements prior to incentive gift redemption in cases where that information is
unavailable from the advertiser.
You have up to ninety days from the original date of your membership registration to complete the
membership incentive program and redeem your incentive gift. Your gift eligibility is secured as
soon as you complete two offers from each of the three offer groups and submit your Redemption Request
Form. Once you meet the offer completion requirements, you will need to login to your account to
print off your redemption certificate. Once we have received your verification, your gift will be
sent within thirty days. Gift redemptions are limited to one gift per household. If you have registered
for multiple membership incentive gift promotions, you will be given your choice of gift items upon
logging into your Member’s Area. Action points are not transferable from one incentive gift
to another.
Flex Incentive Promotions:
LaptopReportCard.com
also offers several Flex Incentive Promotion gifts. Flex
Incentive Promotion gifts usually have fewer requirements for redemption than Membership Incentive
Promotion gifts and are available periodically to members that register and complete a variety of
sponsor offers that appear in both the incentive path in addition to the member’s area. Depending
on the number of offers completed, Flex Incentive Promotion gifts can range from Visa gift cards
to a laptop computer. Flex Incentive Promotion laptops given away in the past have included
the Acer Aspire, Compaq Presario, and the Toshiba Satellite.
Quick Completion Bonus Offers (Act Now Bonus):
From time to time,
LaptopReportCard.com
may make additional incentive
items available to first time registrants if they complete the
LaptopReportCard.com
Membership Incentive
Promotion (as defined above) within a specified time period of their initial registration session. "Initial
registration", as used in connection with
LaptopReportCard.com
bonus offers, means the first
time any individual submits his or her personal information to
LaptopReportCard.com . Initial registration
does not include any subsequent registrations with
LaptopReportCard.com
for different Member Incentive
Promotions. Bonus Offers are limited to one per person/household.
Miscellaneous Bonus Offer (Presenting Sponsor & Bullseye Bonus):
From time to time, there may be additional bonus gift opportunities available
at varying positions throughout our promotions. The specific requirements for receipt of these bonuses
will be recited on the webpage where they are offered. Please note that no bonus of any kind will
be awarded to any individual who does not first fully complete the requirements for receipt of the
underlying incentive gift item. Members should understand that we use various means (e.g. email,
web pages, etc.) to promote bonus offerings. Members will not receive more than one bonus gift for
completing the same bonus offering multiple times. The Miscellaneous Bonus Offer is limited to one
per person/household.
Please note that it may take up to eight weeks for our marketing partners to report to us that you
have completed their offer. Please be patient while our marketing partners report back to us. You
may check your redemption status at anytime through our member interface area at http://www.laptopreportcard.com/status.php.
Simply log in using the same email address with which you registered.
TERMS OF SPONSOR OFFERS:
LaptopReportCard.com is not responsible for its sponsors' offers or any transactions that you enter into with the advertisers, sponsors, or partners on this website.
LaptopReportCard.com
cannot fulfill a sponsor offer, cancel a sponsor offer on your behalf, refund any charges you have incurred, or service an account you created with an advertiser. You should carefully read the requirements, terms and conditions, privacy policy, and billing practices for each sponsor offer prior to signing up.
REFERRALS:
From time to time you may be given the opportunity to refer friends to one of our web
properties in order to receive additional incentive gifts. In order to connect these referrals to
your account, we will provide you with a unique link to this website, which you must then distribute
to the intended parties. Your referral link will be provided on your custom referral page as well
as your custom account page. Any referral that does not click this URL or type it into their web
browser accurately cannot be tracked and, thus, cannot be connected to your account. Note that some
applications can remove the tracking part of this URL. You assume the risk of this link breaking
when using our website. You are responsible for distributing the referral link.
LaptopReportCard.com
will not send out any communications on your behalf to encourage such sign-ups
to occur. You may complete more than the required number of reward offers and may refer more than
the required number of unique households; however, you are limited to earning only one referral bonus
reward per household. Additional referrals or offer completions will not result in additional rewards.
LaptopReportCard.com
reserves the right to screen all referrals for suspicious activity. We reserve
the right to determine, in our sole discretion, which referrals are fraudulent or in violation of
these Terms & Conditions, and to place on hold or disqualify all accounts associated with an
improper referral. Participation in a "conga line" or any other organized system of individuals
trying to obtain enough referrals to qualify for the reward is strictly prohibited and will result
in disqualification of your account, as well as the account belonging to the person(s) that referred
you to the website and the person(s) that you referred.
Security:
The
LRC
Web Site has security measures in place intended to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control. Our hardware infrastructure is housed in a controlled
access facility that restricts access to authorized individuals with positive identification. Our
network access to the infrastructure is protected by a firewall protection system. Member information
is backed up on a periodic basis to protect against accidental loss. However, we can not guarantee
that communications between you and
LRC
will not be intercepted by others and that information
stored on our servers will be free from unauthorized access. While we have taken reasonable precautions
to protect this information, you should always use discretion in what information you send to us
and not expect that such information will be absolutely free from intrusion.
