PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, IN THEIR ENTIRETY, AS THEY COMPRISE YOUR BINDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES, YOUR CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, USA, YOUR RELEASE OF CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST THE COMPANY, YOUR WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY, AND YOUR WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY.

  1. Introduction to Our Services.

    1. Overview.

IZUO generally allows Merchants to set up and administer various programs (“Promotional Programs”), in which they use izuo to make available to Shoppers, on a limited-time and/or limited-quantity basis, promotional benefits (“Deals”) such as price discount codes, cash-back rewards, or other rewards.  Shoppers may claim and redeem an available Deal in the course of purchasing a good or service (a “Product”) from a Merchant offering a Deal on that Product.  Shoppers may also be encouraged (but not required) to tell others (e.g. via social media post) about Deals they participate in on izuo (a “Shout”).

  1. Cash Back.

One type of Promotional Program provided by the Company may be a “Cash Back Program”.  The Company may receive compensation for referring Shoppers to Products sold by Merchants.  The Company may give a portion of this fee to Shoppers (“Cash Back”).  Compensation received by the Company may play a part in whether, where, and how Merchants and their Products appear on our site.  Cash Back Programs are offered at the sole discretion of the Company and are subject to your compliance with this Agreement and the provisions set forth in (among other places) Sections 2.4 and 4.

The Company may provide Cash Back to Shoppers via, e.g., PayPal, or via other payment options in the sole discretion of the Company.  You may need to sign up for, or become a member of, a third party service such as PayPal in order to receive Cash Back. The Company endeavors to pay Cash Back rewards to Shoppers within ninety (90) days, but payment may take longer.  The Company is not responsible for Cash Back rewards that are delivered to the wrong digital or physical address (as applicable), deposited in the wrong account, uncashed, returned, marked undeliverable, refused, or prevented or modified by (or by order of) a governmental or judicial body.

Any rewards or benefits you may be eligible for in connection with a Promotional Program other than a Cash Back Program have no monetary value, may not be redeemed for money, and are not (unless the Company explicitly states in writing otherwise) redeemable in the form of Cash Back.

  1. Taxes.

You are solely responsible for ascertaining and paying any tax liability that may arise as a result of your receipt any benefit or value (including, but not limited to, Cash Back) through the Services.

  1. Company Discretion and Modifications to Services.

At any time, in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may (i) determine whether or not a Shopper is eligible to claim or redeem a Deal (or generally to participate in any Promotional Program); (ii) determine if a Shopper has (through one or more User Accounts) already claimed or redeemed a Deal and is thus ineligible; (iii) limit (or establish a minimum on) the number of Deals a Shopper may participate in or a Merchant may offer; (iv) determine whether or not a Shopper has met any applicable requirements to claim or redeem a Deal (or generally to participate in any Promotional Program); (v) modify the amount of or withhold entirely a cash-back reward; and (vi) establish, withdraw, or modify transaction, balance, or account activity thresholds, or other conditions for Shoppers or Merchants to maintain an active User Account, or standards under which a User Account may be deemed in “good standing” or eligible to participate in any Promotional Program.

The Company reserves the right to add, change, limit, withhold, deny, or discontinue aspects of the Services with respect to any individual User or all Users, including any fees, costs, or payments related to the Services, and Users’ eligibility to participate in and benefit from Promotional Programs.  Your sole and exclusive remedy for any such action by the Company is to cease participating in the Services.

THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY PROMOTIONAL PROGRAMS, MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE PRICING, TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND POLICIES SET FORTH BY MERCHANTS, ONLINE RETAILERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES (AS APPLICABLE), WHICH MAY BE CHANGED FROM TIME TO TIME BY SUCH PARTIES WITHOUT NOTICE TO US OR TO YOU.  WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER SUCH POLICIES OR CHANGES, NOR WILL WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR OUR FAILURE TO PERFORM, OR FOR YOUR INABILITY TO CLAIM, REDEEM, OR RECEIVE ANY VALUE OR BENEFIT UNDER A PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM, INCLUDING CASH BACK, AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH POLICIES OR CHANGES.

  1. Merchant Services.

If you are a Merchant, the Services may enable you to participate in Promotional Programs and offer Deals to Shoppers (hereinafter referred to as operating a “Campaign”).  You understand and agree that the Company is offering a promotional and marketing service, and that while your Campaign may allow for Shoppers to receive various benefits such as Cash Back, it is within the sole discretion of the Company how, whether, and to what extent benefits or value will be provided to Shoppers.

The Company may require that all or a portion of the payment for operating a Campaign be paid up front.  If the Company terminates the Services or modifies them in a way that renders one or more of your Campaigns inoperable, the Company may refund you an equitable portion of up front fees you paid for any Campaign so affected.

In order to set up and operate a Campaign, you may be required to create one or more promotional codes or deposit funds for the use of rebates (i.e. for an online retailer who is then-currently supported by the Services).  You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and validity of your promotional codes. The Company is not responsible for any error or inaccuracy with respect to your promotional codes. We may require additional information from you about your products or customers in order to set up and operate a Campaign, and we may be unable to proceed with a Campaign without such information.

Upon set up and launch of a Campaign, the Company will make reasonable efforts to make the Campaign available to Shoppers via the Services, subject to the availability of your product(s), the acts of third parties beyond the Company’s control (such as third party online retailers), Acts of God, and as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

The information you offer to Shoppers regarding a Campaign and any Deals therein, and any product descriptions, pricing information, quantity limits, or promotional materials you provide regarding the same, must be complete, truthful, and accurate.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Except in cases where the Company believes you have engaged in fraud, other illegal behavior, or any other form of willful and serious misconduct, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the Company arising out of or in connection with this or previous versions of these Terms, including any disputes regarding the existence, validity or termination thereof, or your use of or access to Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 12.

You and the Company agree that each Party may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding.  Unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the Arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.  Also, the Arbitrator may award relief (of any kind, whether monetary, injunctive, declaratory, or otherwise) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.2, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).  Any relief awarded cannot affect other Users.

Any such arbitration shall be arranged by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The arbitration panel (the “Arbitrator”) shall consist of one (1) arbitrator.  In the event that the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Arbitrator for any reason, the Parties shall request that AAA appoint the Arbitrator according to its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate.  The arbitration shall take place in Fulton County, Georgia unless both you and the Company agree otherwise. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms and every part thereof, including the Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 12, and including the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, scope, existence, validity, formation, or termination of these Terms, and any claim that any part of these Terms or the agreement to arbitrate contained herein is void or voidable.

If the value of the relief sought is ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or less, either you or the Company may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and the Company, subject to the Arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing (as warranted by the circumstances).  Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or the Company, unless the Arbitrator requires otherwise. The Arbitrator shall decide the substance of all claims in accordance with Section 13.4 and this Section 12, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law.  The Arbitrator shall not be bound by prior rulings in in any other dispute between the Company and another User or disputant, and shall be bound by rulings in prior disputes involving the Company and the same User or disputant to the extent required by applicable law.  The Arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by AAA rules, unless otherwise stated in these Terms to arbitrate.

  1. Waiver.

No waiver (whether by act, omission, or otherwise) by the Company of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Company.  Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from these Terms shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

  1. Severability.
