Membership Terms and Conditions

This Membership Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) is made between DeniseLawrence.com (hereinafter known as

“Company”) and the person named in the Name of Applicant field on the front of this Agreement (hereinafter known as

“Applicant”) and collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

Capacity: Applicant certifies that Applicant is of legal age in the state of Applicant’s residency and has the legal capacity

to apply for this Membership and to enter into this Agreement.

Relationship: Applicant understands and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Applicant will become a member of

the DeniseLawrence.com loyalty program (“Member”) and will concurrently be part of the DeniseLawrence.com (“Network”).

Membership in the Network (‘Membership”) may provide Applicant with eligibility to receive various discounts, rebates,

bonus rewards, points, gifts, coupons, cash, and other loyalty incentives (“Rewards”) as well as other products, programs,

privileges and services (“Benefits”) based on certain Qualified Transactions by Applicant at merchants in the Network

(“Network Merchants”).For purposes of this Agreement, a “Transaction” is a purchase made by a Member of the Network

at a Network Merchant and a “Qualified Transaction” is a purchase made by a Member of the Network at a Network

Merchant that is successfully tracked by the Company for which a fee is paid by the Network Merchant to the Company

(the “Referral Fee”) and is successfully collected by Company and not disputed by Merchant. Other participants in the

Network that may be third party beneficiaries of the rights of Company under this Agreement include, without limitation,

Network Participants (herein defined), the LoyaltyShare Clearinghouse, independent accredited financial institutions

(“Banks”) and/or processors (all hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Third Party Provider(s)” or “TPP(s)”). Applicant

agrees that TPPs may be used for more than one purpose, including, but not limited to, tracking of Qualified Transactions

using the Network Card (“Card”) delivered to Applicant in conjunction with this Agreement. Company may provide

Applicant with a password-protected Online Member Management Page showing an Activity Report of the Rewards

earned, tracked and successfully collected. If Applicant fails to notify Company within 60 days following a Transaction by

Applicant that the Transaction is not reflected or is inaccurate on the Activity Report as a Qualified Transaction, Applicant

shall be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to that Transaction.

Cost of Membership: Memberships in the Network are sold by various participants in the Network (“Network

Participants”) on behalf of Company. Applicant acknowledges that the Network Participant that provided this Application to

Applicant (the “Enroller”) is collecting the fees for this Membership (“Membership Fees”) for its own account. The retail

market value of this Membership is $25.00 and Applicant should not pay any Membership Fees in excess of that

amount to any party. Applicant hereby releases Company from any and all claims that Applicant may have against

Company in connection with any Membership Fees paid by Applicant to any party other than Company, or in connection

with any acts, omissions, representations or guarantees made by any party other than Company, with respect to

Applicant’s Membership. Applicant agrees that the Membership Fee is a non-refundable, non-transferable fee that gives

rights to the benefits attached to the Membership of Applicant for an initial period of one year from the date of activation

and is deemed earned upon issuance of the Membership, regardless of the Rewards or Benefits received or not received

by Applicant.

Member Information: Company may verify, authenticate, register, forward, assign, license and/or transfer any

information contained in or related to this Agreement to TPPs and/or Network Participants for the purpose of fulfilling the

terms of this Agreement and for providing Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) products and services to Network

Participants.

Term & Termination: Upon complete payment of the Membership Fee and activation of the Card, Membership is valid for

a one-year term (“Term”). After the initial Term, the Membership shall automatically renew each year for an additional

one-year Term(s) upon payment of the then-current Renewal Fee being charged by the Company for Membership

renewals until the expiration of the Card, whereupon Applicant’s Membership pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate.

The Membership may be (i) terminated by Member at any time with a two week notice and with no right to a pro rated

Membership Fee reimbursement or (ii) suspended or terminated by Company, at its sole discretion and without further

obligation, if Applicant breaches this Agreement or any terms related to any Rewards or Benefits offered through the

Network or on the renewal date each year provided that Company does not collect any Renewal Fee from Applicant.

Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will release Company and/or all TPP from any further

obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason,

Applicant shall remain liable for any Rewards paid to Applicant based on a Referral Fee that is refunded to a Network

Merchant, in Company’s sole discretion.

of renewal from Company, or (d) Company shall be entitled to retain up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Referral

Fees paid by a Network Merchant to Company based on Applicant’s Qualified Transactions until such time as Company

Replacement Cards/Additional Cards: In the event that Applicant’s Card is lost, stolen, ceases to work due to ordinary

wear and tear or as a result of damage, expires or otherwise needs to be replaced, there will be a fee to replace the Card

(a “Replacement Fee”). Additionally, each Card issued by Company has an expiration date and must be replaced upon

such expiration. If Applicant elects to order a replacement Card, the Replacement Fee for such Card will be the price

determined by Company from time to time, in Company’s sole discretion, regardless of the Membership Fee paid for this

Membership.

Card Deterioration: Applicant acknowledges that Cards utilize a magnetic strip that allows for the tracking of

transactions. Applicant acknowledges that such magnetic strips only function for a limited period of time. Company makes

no representations or warranties regarding the useful life of each Card. Any Card that requires replacement during the

Term of Applicant’s Membership because the magnetic strip has ceased to function shall be subject to the Replacement

Fee, regardless of the amount paid for the original Membership.

malicious and/or dishonest manner. Company, its assignee and/or Affiliated Companies as well as any TPP and/or

Network Participant that may have a cause of action shall be authorized to report to state and/or federal authorities, and to

file a civil and/or criminal suit for any fraudulent, malicious and/or dishonest use of the Card, Membership, Network and/or

Rewards by Applicant. If Company, a Network Participant or TPP consider that Applicant used and/or uses the

Membership and the Card in a fraudulent, malicious and/or dishonest manner, they shall have the right to immediately

officers, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, successors and permitted assigns harmless from and against any

and all liabilities, claims, suits, other legal actions and proceedings, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses of

any kind or nature, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or otherwise relating to

entitled to recover any reasonable attorneys’ fees in any legal prosecution or proceedings to enforce its rights under this

Agreement.

Rewards: Applicant acknowledges that the Rewards offered under the Network vary by Network Merchant and that all or

a portion of every Reward earned by Applicant (the “Charitable Portion”) will be directed to the Non-Profit Organization

(NPO”) designated by Applicant in this Agreement. Certain Network Merchants may require that the Charitable Portion

include the entire Reward generated by a purchase at that Network Merchant or be donated to a NPO chosen by that

Network Merchant. If Applicant fails to designate a NPO, then the Charitable Portion of any Reward earned by Applicant

may be donated to the Help Worldwide Foundation or such other qualified NPO chosen by Company, in its sole

discretion. Certain Network Merchants may offer a Reward on only a portion of the purchase price Applicant pays for

products and/or services; for example, paying a Reward based only on an initial up-front fee but not on subsequent

monthly fees. Certain Network Merchants may require that the Reward be paid in the form of a gift card that can only be

used at that Network Merchant. The foregoing are merely examples and not a complete list of the limitations that Network

Merchants can place on the Rewards they offer. Member agrees that Applicant’s rights as a Member of the Network to

earn Rewards are limited by the terms and conditions imposed by each Network Merchant on their participation in the

Network The nature of the Rewards and the amount of Rewards offered by and through Company, TPPs and/or Network

Merchants will vary and may be subject to change at any time without prior notification to Applicant. Company and/or

TPPs are not liable for paying Rewards that are uncollected or not collectable from the participating Network Merchant

and/or for any discounts that are not honored by the participating Network Merchant. Applicant acknowledges that a

Network Merchant may not pay any Rewards for certain products under applicable laws (“Restricted Items”). Applicant

shall always notify Network Merchant that Applicant is a Member of the Network and will earn Rewards from the

Transaction so that Merchant can exclude the cost of any Restricted Item being purchased by Member from the Qualified

Transaction amount.

Records and Payments: Applicant must select a method of payment on the Company website shown in this Agreement.

Applicant (ii) the payment method selected by Applicant on the website or the payment method required by the Network

Merchant (iii) a minimum accumulated rebate credit requirement of $25.00 (iii) and a ninety-day settlement period for each

Reward paid by Company and/or TPP under Applicant’s Membership, Applicant shall receive Applicant’s Reward, minus

any processing fees. Each selected payment method has a different processing period, as set forth on the website.

Applicant understands and agrees that Applicant shall always keep the declined transaction receipt pertaining to the

Card’s swipe or scan, as applicable. From time to time, Company reserves the right to select and change the method,

times and threshold amounts for payment of Rewards hereunder. In the event that a Network Participant and/or a TPP

disputes the validity of a Transaction and/or the payment of a Reward, Applicant must be able to document Applicant’s

purchase by either showing Applicant’s Transaction’s receipt or any other acceptable proof of Transaction (all together

“Documentation”) showing that the Transaction occurred and was valid and that the Card was properly swiped or

scanned, as applicable. Applicant shall hold Documentation for a Period of sixty (60) days following the Transaction. If

Applicant is unable to document the validity of the disputed Transaction, the Reward paid as a result of the disputed

Transaction will be credited back to the appropriate Network Participant. Any Rewards previously paid on disputed

purchases may be collected from future Rewards or debited from the Designated Account”, including chargebacks and

other associated fees charged by Company and/or TPP. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for

any reason. In the event a payment is uncollectible for any reason, Applicant hereby authorizes Company and/or TPP’s to

attempt to collect the principal amount due plus any associated fee by resubmitting the returned item to the bank housing

the Designated Account and again attempt to collect the principal amount due plus any fees resulting from the failed

collection attempt, including a fee for insufficient funds (maximum as allowable by applicable state law).
