II. Description of the Services

The Services are comprised of a rich collection of resources, including access to a variety of lifestyle and voluntary benefits, discounts on goods and services marketed by third-party merchants and service providers (“Discount Providers”), communications tools, personalized content, and branded programming. The Services we provide are made available to you and your Sponsor free of charge.

If you believe an Offer is inaccurate or misleading upon being redirected to a Discount Provider’s website (each a “Third-Party Site”), then you should notify us in writing and provide reasonable detail of the Offer or information at issue. Offers are often provided to us by Discount Providers in the form of a unique coupon code or affiliate link to a co-branded Third-Party Site. These codes and links are reserved for use by you and other registered users of the Services and should not be posted externally or otherwise shared. Posting, disclosing, or otherwise sharing Offer links and codes outside of the BH Tools may result in the termination of your Account.

Cash Back Rewards are awarded after the completion of certain actions through the Services, such as making a purchase or completing a transaction on an eligible Third-Party Site. The availability of Cash Back Rewards for each Offer will be clearly indicated on the BH Tools. Once you accumulate the equivalent of at least $5.00 in Cash Back Rewards, as indicated by the balance displayed on your Account on (the “Balance”), you may redeem your Cash Back Rewards for a gift card on the Website or direct PayPal transfer payable to you in United States Dollars in an amount equivalent to your Balance.

If you elect to exchange your Balance for gift cards, the types of gift cards may vary based on your location, specifically where the Services are being provided outside of the United States, or where an Issuer does not offer products for a particular region or market. You acknowledge and understand that gift cards are subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations placed on such gift cards by the Issuer providing them and all such gift cards will be subject to each Issuer’s own terms of service.

Our ability to provide Cash Back Rewards to you is interdependent on the occurrence of a completed purchase or successful referral occurring with a participating Discount Provider. As such, we only provide Cash Back Rewards to you after you successfully complete a purchase or action on an eligible Offer, product, or service and the Discount Provider managing such Offer, product, or service receives payment. If a Discount Provider does not receive payment, you refund payment, or we do not receive payment from the participating Discount Provider for the particular action or transaction, then we reserve the right to withhold allocation of any Cash Back Rewards related to that transaction. This includes instances where there are difficulties in tracking a transaction due to your use of an ad-blocker, disabling of tracking cookies, or interaction with another affiliate program. Where there is a discrepancy related to your eligibility to receive Cash Back Rewards in relation to a transaction, we may require you to provide copies of your order confirmation, order number, or other proof of purchase. You must have an active Account to be eligible to earn Cash Back Rewards.

Your Balance may expire under the following circumstances: (1) you fail to login to your Account for a continuous period of three calendar years rendering your Account inactive; or (2) three calendar years after the expiration or termination of your Account or your Sponsor’s agreement with BenefitHub (your “Balance Expiration Date”). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if you fail to claim your Balance by your Balance Expiration Date, then you will forfeit your remaining Balance and release all claims related thereto. Furthermore, you agree that any disputes relating to your eligibility to receive Cash Back Rewards or the expiration of your Balance will be resolved by us in our sole discretion, and you agree to abide by our resolution.

To prevent instances of abuse or fraud, your account may become ineligible to participate in the Cash Back Rewards program if tracking your transactions becomes an issue or multiple discrepancies related to your eligibility arise. We reserve the right to withhold awarding or paying any Cash Back Reward sum that we believe is attributable to fraudulent transactions, illegal activity, or any other intentional misconduct or abuse of the Cash Back Rewards program, or due to any error, bug, or defect with the Services. For all questions relating to the Cash Back Rewards program please visit our support center.

 You expressly agree not to bring any action or claim as a plaintiff of a representative class or class member in any proceeding or representative action against us.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the arbitral proceedings shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its then current rules and procedures, except as modified by this Section(X)(E). In the event that the AAA is unable to administer the arbitral proceedings, the Parties will mutually select another administrator or rely on a court’s selection. The cost of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be split equally between the Parties, unless the total relief sought is $10,000 or less, in which case we will pay all filing administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. You must submit a request for our payment of fees along with any demand you make. If the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert are frivolous, then you agree to reimburse us for all fees we paid in association with the arbitral proceedings that you would otherwise have been obligated to pay under the AAA rules.

The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and be held in the county in which you reside or at another location mutually agreed to by the Parties. The proceedings will be administered by one arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties or otherwise appointed under the AAA rules. If the total value of relief you are seeking is $10,000 or less, then either Party may elect to have the proceedings conducted entirely by telephone, teleconference, through written submission, or any combination thereof, the election of which shall be binding on the Parties, but subject to the arbitrator(s) discretional request to hold an in-person hearing. Where appearing in- person is unduly burdensome or potentially harmful, the Parties agree that such appearance may be satisfied through an appearance via video conference. Any discussions relating to settlement, including settlement offers, shall not be disclosed by the Parties to the arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the substance of each claim in accordance with applicable law, these T&Cs, and ex aequo et bono (from principals of equity and conscience). The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment on the award may be entered into any court having proper jurisdiction.

If you desire to opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate, then you must mail us a written opt-out notice no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept these T&Cs. You must mail the opt-out notice to BenefitHub, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 4030 W. Boy Scout Blvd., Suite 400, Tampa, FL 33607.
