3. Description of the Services
Drop is an intelligent mobile-first rewards platform designed to help innovative and aspirational brands acquire, retain and engage with customers. Drop users browse categorized lists of offers to discover and spend with brands and merchants. Drop is a platform designed for consumers to earn Drop points from their everyday purchases and redeem them for relevant rewards and experiences.
4. Account Information from Third Party Sites
Users may direct Drop to retrieve their transaction-related information maintained online by third parties with which they have a relationship, maintain an account or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”), including, without limitation, bank account information. Drop works with one or more online service providers to access this Account Information.
Drop cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings or other service interruptions. Drop cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings. Information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the relevant sites. You can update your Account Information through the Services, in the manner prescribed in the associated instructions.
5. Earning Rewards – Notice of Financial Incentives
To begin earning Drop points, you must download the App and follow the enrollment instructions, including by signing up using a valid email address or via Facebook. Once you have completed the on-boarding process, you must link a valid qualifying debit or credit card to your Drop account in order to be eligible to earn Drop points. Some exclusions may apply and Drop reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a linked debit or credit card qualifies to participate and earn Drop points. Only individuals who are residents of the United States and Canada (the “Territories”), who are at least 18 years old, and who provide valid and accurate personal information when enrolling are eligible to earn rewards. Corporations and other entities are not eligible. Individuals under the age of 18 are not eligible. Drop points are not available to residents outside of the Territories.
By using Drop’s Services, you will have the opportunity to earn Drop points based on actions that you may take or transactions that you may conduct as described in a particular offer (“Drop Offer”) made by Drop, by a Drop merchant or by another third party via the Site or App . Drop Offers and rewards may be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions that are set by us, a merchant or third party. Such terms, conditions and restrictions may updated, modified, suspended, or cancelled at any time without notice to you. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of any Drop Offer, unless explicitly provided otherwise in these Terms, the Drop Offer terms and conditions will control. Drop Offers are not transferable. Drop Offers may not be made available to all users.
The applicable merchant determines whether you have satisfied the conditions of the Drop Offer. Drop does not control the merchants and is bound by their decisions. If you disagree with any merchant’s decision, you may dispute that issue directly with the merchant but agree that we and our technology partners have no liability to you for such claim or with respect to any other dispute or interaction between you and the merchant.
Points are earned as described in a Drop Offer, and when made on an eligible purchase are based on your net purchase amount, which excludes taxes, fees, shipping, gift-wrapping, discounts or credits, returns or cancellations, and extended warranties. Points are earned on net dollars spent (up to two decimals) for points-eligible purchases, and are rounded down. No points will be earned for any purchases made prior to creating an account with Drop and linking your applicable credit or debit card to your Drop account. Points are not transferable. Different accounts cannot be combined, and no joint accounts are permitted. Rewards, user accounts, and benefits are non-transferrable. Purchases of gift cards do not qualify for rewards. Purchases of other categories of products and/or services may not qualify for rewards as determined by Drop in its sole discretion and as required by law (and notwithstanding any inconsistent terms and conditions contained in a Drop Offer). Point amounts may vary by merchant, store and product category and may contain exclusions in the terms of the offer and/or the applicable store page. Please review these terms carefully.
Premium Drop Members that have an active linked card, and have earned more than a designated threshold of Drop points, may qualify to convert points into a chosen cryptocurrency offered via the Drop application. Once the cryptocurrency reward has been ‘redeemed’, members do not actually own the cryptocurrency itself as an asset, instead they earn the right to have points follow the volatile market conditions of the cryptocurrency at which point, they are able to experience both the gains and losses of the designated cryptocurrency. Members may not transfer their cryptocurrency holdings into a wallet, or move it to another platform, the only option is to convert the cryptocurrency back to Drop points and redeem any other applicable rewards. As a result of this, Drop is not required to hold any cryptocurrency assets to support its obligations to convert Drop points at any reward conversion rate. Drop will not provide any advice or incentive for participation and is not responsible in the capacity of a dealer or intermediary in this offering to members.
Points will only be issued for bona-fide completed transactions as described in a Drop Offer. Unless otherwise expressly stated in a Drop Offer, each Drop Offer is limited to one (1) per user/account. You may not set up multiple accounts for yourself, your family members and other affiliates, impersonate or use another person’s account, or use any manual or automated means (such as for example, a macro, script, ‘bot, use of a ‘click farm’, etc.), or engage in any other behavior or use of our products that is inconsistent with their normal and intended use, to circumvent these restrictions. If we or a merchant determine that you attempted to earn points using such methods or any other fraudulent or deceptive means, we reserve the right to cancel any and all of your points, terminate your user account, and/or report you to the authorities. We reserve the right to investigate any transaction or activity that we believe, in our sole discretion, is abusing or has abused any Drop Offer, reward or other promotion that we or any third party may provide through us.
We do not warrant the accuracy of timeliness of the information displayed via the Site, App or the Services. Descriptions of Drop Offers may include inaccuracies or typographical or other errors. You agree that neither we nor the merchant/partner(s) are responsible for such errors and that both we and the merchant reserve the right to correct them when they are discovered. We and our merchants/partners reserve the right to cancel all transactions affected by such errors, refund all amounts paid and cancel all points associated with such transactions, without any liability to you.
6. Qualifying Transactions
Drop needs to protect the program for all users by ensuring that points are earned for legitimate consumer transactions. Drop users are only permitted to earn points with Drop in connection with spending activity for non-commercial, personal and household purposes (“Qualifying Transactions”). Drop users are not permitted to earn points in connection with spending for commercial purposes (e.g. in connection with a business). Drop users are limited to earning a maximum of 500 Drop points per calendar week (Sunday – Saturday) in connection with card-linked offers selected upon onboarding. If you are permitted to link a shared credit or debit card account to your Drop account (a “Shared Card”), only one of the Shared Card users will be permitted to earn points on each Drop Offer, on a first-come-first-served basis. Drop maintains the right to review the accrual of points and to determine, in Drop’s absolute discretion, if certain transactions qualify for Drop Offers. Certain spending including, but not limited to, repeat purchases, high-value purchases, purchases of gift cards, and purchases made for commercial, non-personal or non-household purposes, may not, at Drop’s absolute discretion, be considered Qualifying Transactions and may be ineligible for Drop points. Drop may reverse point accruals that have already been processed if a transaction is deemed by Drop, upon review, to not constitute a Qualifying Transaction. Drop may also disable accounts that engage in repeated non-Qualifying Transaction activity. Not all Qualifying Transactions may be eligible for points if we are unable to obtain certain transaction information from the payment card network associated with your Account Information.
Without limiting any of the other terms of this Agreement, if you return, charge back, cancel, dispute, or otherwise request a refund for a Qualifying Transaction for which you have already received points, we will reduce the balance of points in your account by the amount of points you received for such transaction. If the balance of points in your account is less than the amount of points you received for such transaction, we will offset the applicable number of points from the points you would otherwise receive for future qualifying actions. It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that points have been properly credited and that your account balance is accurate. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to cease use of the Site, App and the Services.
7. Purchasing Drop Points
Drop offers users the opportunity to purchase additional Drop points needed to reach their next reward threshold faster. Drop users must be in good standing in order to purchase additional Drop points and Drop holds the right to deny any user of the right to purchase additional points in its sole discretion.
Eligible Drop users may buy a minimum of 1,000 Drop points and up to 25,000 Drop points per transaction, up to a maximum of 250,000 Drop points per calendar month. Drop points purchased by Drop users do not count towards any user status or level that may be achieved by Drop users.
Purchased Drop points will generally be posted within 5 hours in a user’s Drop account. Purchased Drop points are non-refundable.
Drop reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual from offers to purchase points and to ban the individual from any future offers that it finds or believes to be tampering with the process or the operation, to be acting in violation of these Terms or with bad faith.
Any attempt by a user or any other person to deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of Drop point purchases is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, Drop reserves the right to seek damages from any such person.
8. Redemption of Drop Points
Drop points are valid and redeemable via the App. Drop points have no cash, monetary or other value and cannot be converted into any currency. Drop points may be redeemed for various rewards that we make available, and that may change, from time to time. The representative value of Drop points will be applied against the pre-tax purchase amount (i.e., excluding taxes, fees, and shipping and handling charges). The maximum amount of Drop points that can be redeemed for rewards in any week (Thursday to Wednesday) is 25,000 points.
You may use our App to redeem points for the rewards that we make available. You may redeem points in accordance with such terms and conditions and upon payment of such fees as we may determine at any time. You will be responsible for paying all taxes, fees, and any applicable shipping and handling charges or other fees. Drop points are not transferable and may not be combined with other promotions or other discounts. The number of points recorded in your account and the number of points required to obtain any particular reward are subject to verification by us. Once a reward has been requested or redeemed by a user, no changes, refunds or return of points are permitted for any reason. Drop is not responsible for lost or stolen points or rewards. All rewards are offered subject to availability and restrictions imposed by the reward suppliers. We assume no responsibility for any loss, damage, defect, injury, death or expense relating to any reward or rewards processing or shipment, or for your rewards not turning out as you expected for whatever reason. If any Drop points or rewards are believed to have been sold, exchanged, or obtained fraudulently, or issued to someone other than the registered user of the applicable account, those points or rewards will be void and will not be honored.
You are responsible for all taxes applicable to any amounts payable to us. We will determine the applicable taxes on the basis of the province in which you reside, as shown in our records at time of payment.
You can check your Drop points balance by logging into your Drop account on the App. A valid Drop account is required to check your points balance. Drop will attempt to credit accounts with points on a timely basis. Drop Offers may indicate that points will be accrued immediately upon a Qualifying Purchase or, on the other hand, after additional requirements are satisfied (for example, after a purchased product refund period has expired or after purchased travel has been completed). Drop points will accrue as described in a Drop Offer, and may take several days to be updated to your account upon such accrual. Any claim for points not credited accurately must be received by Drop within 30 days of the date on which the user claims the points should have been accrued. Drop will have no liability for any failure, delay, or error in crediting points to your account.
9. Expiration, Inactivity & Cancellation
Drop is free to use, however, we do deduct points for inactive accounts. An account is considered to be “inactive” if you do not open the Drop app (while logged-in to Drop) during a six (6) month period. If an account is deemed to be inactive, Drop will deduct 2,500 Drop points each month (“Inactive Account Deductions”) from your account until (i) the account is deemed active or (ii) your Drop points balance is zero. Inactive Account Deductions are nonrefundable.
Inactive accounts will also no longer earn points. If you reactivate your account by logging back into the App after 6 months, you will have the option of re-selecting your card-linked offers and can begin earning Drop points again.
If your account is terminated or disabled for any reason, including but not limited, to multiple attempts at non-Qualifying Transactions or other fraudulent activity, then your existing Drop points will be forfeited and any further transactions which might otherwise earn you Drop points will not be deemed to be applicable.
You may cancel your account and participation in the rewards program by contacting Drop at support@joindrop.com with such request. All unredeemed points will be forfeited immediately upon cancellation and may not be reinstated or transferred.
Drop may cancel your accumulated points, suspend your benefits, or cancel your account at any time with immediate effect and without written notice, for any reason and in Drop’s sole discretion, including in instances where Drop believes that you have (i) acted in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws or regulations, (ii) failed to pay Drop or its merchants/partners amounts due, (iii) acted in an inappropriate, fraudulent, abusive, or hostile manner, (iv) breached or violated any of these Terms of Service, or (v) engaged in any misconduct or wrongdoing in connection with the Site, App or Services. Nothing contained in these Terms of Service will limit Drop in the exercise of any legal or equitable rights or remedies.
Drop points and other related benefits and services are the sole property of Drop, and are not the property of the users. Points have no cash value and Drop will not compensate or pay cash, cash equivalent, or credit for any forfeited or unused points.
Whether you may re-enroll in the Services after a termination is at Drop’s sole discretion. In any event, previously earned points that were forfeited will not be credited to you.
10. Modification and Termination of the Rewards Program and Benefits
Drop may change or terminate the rewards program, associated points or other rewards and benefits at any time, for any reason and without notice. Drop may make changes that affect, without limitation, processes, benefits, levels, rules for earning and redeeming points, point redemption levels, rules for the use of points, availability of points, reward types, availability of Drop Offers, and participation in the rewards program and program benefits.
Drop may terminate the rewards program with two week’s advance notice to all active users. At Drop’s sole discretion, Drop may choose to substitute a similar rewards program at any time immediately upon notice to active users. A user may not accumulate or redeem points or any other benefits after the termination of the program. If the program is terminated, upon termination, all unredeemed points will be forfeited without any obligation or liability, and points claims will no longer be honored. Drop may terminate the program in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, on less than two week’s notice if required to do so by applicable law, as determined by Drop in its reasonable discretion.
All rewards program benefits, offers, rewards, and services are subject to availability and may be changed at any time without notice. By accepting rewards program benefits, offers, rewards, and services, including points, each user acknowledges that he or she is responsible for determining whether he or she is eligible to receive the benefits, offers, rewards, or services (including points) under applicable laws, gift policies, and incentive policies. At any time and in Drop’s sole discretion (including where a user was not eligible to earn certain points according to these Terms of Service), Drop may correct the amount of points shown as credited to a user’s account.
11. Third-Party Links
Some parts of the Services are supported by sponsored links from advertisers and display Drop Offers that may be custom matched to you based on information stored in the Services, queries made through the Services or other information.

These alerts allow you to choose alert messages for your accounts. Drop may add new alerts from time to time, or cease to provide certain alerts at any time upon its sole discretion. Each alert has different options available, and you may be asked to select from among these options upon activation of your alerts service.

26. Governing Law and Forum for Disputes
The governing law of this agreement and dispute resolution procedures depend on the jurisdiction in which you reside. There are two sections below, one for Canadian residents and one for U.S. residents.
Canadian residents
The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the province or territory in which you reside. If any clause in this agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed and the remainder will be given full force and effect.
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of, relating to, or in respect of these Terms, including their negotiation, validity, existence, breach, termination, construction or application, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party derived from or associated with these Terms (a “Dispute”), shall be referred to and determined by a single arbitrator in a final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules. If the parties have not agreed upon an arbitrator within 14 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the parties shall ask the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. to appoint a single arbitrator.
The seat of the arbitration shall be the same as the provincial or territorial law governing these Terms. The arbitration shall be heard in the capital of the seat, unless the parties agree otherwise. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally between the parties. A party to the arbitration has no right of appeal from any award of the Arbitrator, whether characterized as final, interim, interlocutory or partial.
All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of the agreement to arbitrate, the law relating to the enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate, any relevant limitation periods, the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, the law relating to available remedies, set-off claims and conflict of laws rules) shall be governed by the law of the seat. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to venue in the capital of the seat, and to the jurisdiction of competent courts in the capital of the seat for all litigation that may be brought, however it is agreed and acknowledged that the intention of the parties is to arbitrate the Dispute without recourse to the courts.
A party to these Terms may take such steps as are permitted or required to enforce an award made by an Arbitrator. Except as required by law, and only to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, or for the purposes of obtaining professional advice, the existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration, including any award, shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration. No document or other evidence or information prepared for or produced by or on behalf of any party to the arbitration shall be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration.
United States residents
These Terms of Service, and your relationship with Drop under these Terms of Service, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and the laws in effect in the State of New York without regard to its conflict or choice of laws provisions. Any dispute with Drop, or its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising under or in relation to these Terms of Service and not resolved via arbitration (as set forth below) shall be resolved exclusively through the courts within the city of New York City, New York, except with respect to imminent harm requiring temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in which case Drop may seek such relief in any court with jurisdiction over the parties. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision, Drop is able to offer the Service at the terms designated, and that your assent to this provision is an indispensable consideration to these Terms of Service.
ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
This Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between you and Drop. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
This Provision provides that all disputes between you and us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms of Service constitutes a waiver of your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means you would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). BOTH YOU AND DROP AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing us at support@joindrop.com the following information: (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) A written description of your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, you or we may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing us at support@joindrop.com with the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. Either way, we will not take any decision you make personally. In fact, we promise that your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us. But, we do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.
For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000 USD, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 USD or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because the Services and these Terms of Service concern interstate commerce, the FAA governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – You or we may initiate arbitration in either New York, New York or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the latter, we may transfer the arbitration to New York so long as we agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines you incur as a result of the transfer.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and we specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
Jury Waiver
You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms of Service, you and Drop are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and we might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
Severability
If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.
Continuation
This Provision shall survive the termination of your account with us or our affiliates and your discontinued use of the Services. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.
