To ensure that you, as an First Shop® Cash Back Rebates "Member", fully understand what you will be paid for, when you will be paid, what rights you have as a Member and what our responsibilities are to you, we have created this document, "Terms and Conditions".  By becoming a member of the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates web site, you agree that you have read, understood, and agreed with the following "Terms and Conditions", and consent to be bound by all said "Terms and Conditions", including any updates thereto.

Program Overview
The "Program" is defined as the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates rebates program that allows registered members of First Shop® Cash Back Rebates to shop with our "Affiliate Merchants" and earn "Cash Back Rebates" as a rewards system. The Program is offered for free and is conferred as a benefit of membership of First Shop® Cash Back Rebates. You are under no obligation to participate or redeem your Cash Back Rebates. First Shop® Cash Back Rebates offers Cash Back Rebates by working with online retailers utilizing affiliate marketing. As an First Shop® Cash Back Rebates Member, you will be automatically credited, subject to this Agreement, a specified amount of Cash Back Rebates of the net purchases or a specified flat amount for purchases or offers made by you through the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates website at merchants designated by First Shop® Cash Back Rebates ("Affiliate Merchants"). In addition, you may receive Cash Back Rebates for participating in such other activities as may be designated by First Shop® Cash Back Rebates from time to time by amendment to this Agreement setting forth the specific terms. Cash Back Rebates that are earned by you as a result of a purchase from Affiliate Merchants will be held in an account maintained by First Shop® Cash Back Rebates once the amount in your account exceeds $25.00 US Dollars . You, as the user, must request payment through the appropriate mechanism on the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates web site (There is a web page under a user's account options to request payment.) First Shop® Cash Back Rebates is not responsible for the products or services offered by the Affiliate Merchants. First Shop® Cash Back Rebates is responsible only for establishing and maintaining your account based upon the information you provide and the purchase information provided by the Affiliate Merchants and for permitting you to request your Cash Back Rebates until such time as the Cash Back Rebates are forfeited as set forth in this Agreement. 

ELIGIBILITY

Participation in the Program is limited to individuals that are 18 years or older

Any attempt to accumulate Cash Back Rebates by means of an automated machine or computer, scripts, software computerized or automated process, or through the use of multiple accounts is expressly prohibited. First Shop® Cash Back Rebates will cancel a user's account and that user will forfeit all Cash Back Rebates earned if they are found to be manipulating the system. First Shop® Cash Back Rebates reserves the right to pursue such prohibited conduct to the fullest extent of the law. 

Members must maintain one unique account and any duplicate accounts are subject to cancellation.  

The Program is currently offered for purchases made through links on the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates web site. You must have Internet access and a valid working email address to receive the privileges and benefits of participation in the Program.

You also agree not to "spam" other individuals to join the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates program via unsolicited email, direct mail, newsgroups, message boards, or other means.  First Shop® Cash Back Rebates reserves the right to remove a member from the Program if they are found to be "spamming".  It is the sole discretion of First Shop® Cash Back Rebates to determine if a user is "spamming".

EARNING CASH BACK REBATES

To be eligible for Cash Back Rebates you must make a "Qualified Purchase". In order to make a "Qualified Purchase", you must satisfy the following criteria: 

1. You must have cookies enabled on your Web browser. 
2. You must make all Qualified Purchases by clicking on the "Affiliate Merchant's" link that appears on the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates site, and be successfully connected to the Affiliate Merchant's site based on that click. 
3. You must complete the "Qualified Purchase" during the same session immediately following the initial click-through to the Affiliate Merchant's site. 

Members will be awarded a specified percentage of the full purchase price of the order in Cash Back Rebates.  For example, if 2% is specified as the award for shopping at a specific merchant and a user purchases $100 worth of goods at that merchant through an First Shop® Cash Back Rebates link then that user has earned $2.00 in their First Shop® Cash Back Rebates Account.

Certain cash-back restrictions can apply to select merchants. An asterisk will display near the merchant's name on the merchant's respective landing page.  Also, the following purchases at ALL merchants do not qualify for rebates: gift certificate purchases, RX prescriptions, pet prescriptions, monthly delivery products such as "auto-ship" products and "wait-list" items.

Determination of whether or not a purchase made through an First Shop® Cash Back Rebates "Affiliate Merchant" is a "Qualified Purchase" is at the sole discretion of First Shop® Cash Back Rebates. First Shop® Cash Back Rebates is not responsible for tracking problems resulting from incorrect usage of the First Shop® Cash Back Rebates site, from disabling cookies, or from any other failure of tracking mechanisms.

The appropriate Cash Back Rebate information accrued from a Qualified Purchase from an Affiliate Merchant will be posted to the Pending section of your personal account within 7 business days from notice thereof to First Shop® Cash Back Rebates by an Affiliate Merchant. Once we receive payment for your transaction and the return period defined by the Affiliate Merchant has expired, the Pending Cash Back Rebates balance, adjusted for returns or other such variables, will be moved into the Available Cash Back Rebates section of your account. Your Cash Back Rebates, according to the amount indicated in the Available Cash Back Rebates section of your account, will be eligible for request of payment when you have exceeded $25.00 in your account.

Cash Back Rebates awarded to you are subject to adjustments for returns and cancellations, receipt of information and payments on such purchases from the merchants and other events. In case of return or cancellation, First Shop® Cash Back Rebates retains the right to reverse account credit. In addition, First Shop® Cash Back Rebates reserves the right to make adjustments to Member accounts at any time in Rebateshare's sole discretion. If you disagree with any adjustments made to your account your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Program.

In the event that a Participating Merchant shall withhold any portion of the fees payable to First Shop® Cash Back Rebates on account of a Qualified Purchase, First Shop® Cash Back Rebates reserves the right to withhold the same amount from the Cash Back Rebates credited to your account based on such purchase.
