NOTICE OF ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:
Thanks for using the Social-a. Social-a enhances your Internet experience by providing you with in-browser short cuts and references to certain social-a.shop features. By downloading and installing the Social-a, you agree to be legally bound by the following End User License Agreement (this “EULA”) as well as our Terms of Use (“TOU”). In the event of a conflict between this EULA and the TOU, the TOU shall control. Whenever you see references made to the “Social-a” or “Software”, such references mean the browser extension software that works with your device’s Internet web browser, including any updates, revisions, patches or other modifications from time to time. Social-a(“Social-a”) reserves the right to revise, from time to time, this EULA and all documents incorporated by reference herein. Social-a may change this EULA by posting a new version without notice to you. Use of the Social-a after such change constitutes your acceptance of such changes. Any reference to “we”, “our”, “us” in this EULA refers collectively to Social-a. “You”, “your” refers to you, the end-user of the Social-a.
Grant of Limited Use License
If you install and/or use the Social-a (regardless of version) you agree to this EULA. On condition that you comply fully with this EULA (as amended from time to time), Social-a grants, and you accept, a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Social-a consistent with the uses of the Social-a that are permitted and not restricted (as provided herein). This EULA does not entitle you to receive any support or assistance features not already provided to you through the social-a.shop Help Center.
Permitted Uses
The following are permitted uses of the Social-a:
Account Information: You may login to your social-a.shop account to interact with certain key information and functionality of the social-a.shop service including: viewing your accumulated Social-a balance, accessing quick links from the extension to view your account information, contact Social-a support, invite friends to social-a.shop and view privacy policy & terms and conditions.
Search the Internet: The Software allows you to access the Social-a search engine. In addition to customary search engine functionality, users of the Social-a search engine have the value added opportunity to randomly earn for searching the Internet. The Software also gives you the ability to change your web browser’s default search engine should you decide to do so. The Software may change the homepage on your browser to www.social-a.shop (with your consent). The Software may also inform you of reward earning opportunities.
In-Browser Notifications: Installing the Software gives us the ability to provide you with various in-browser notifications. The most common such opportunities are notices regarding available Codes and Social-a earning opportunities in relation to third-party goods and services providers.
Code Redemption: Users of the Software are able to enter the then-active Code.
eCommerce: When visiting a website of a third-party goods or services provider, the Social-a will either create a tracking ticket and start a rewards shopping session or visually prompt you to press a button to start your rewards shopping session. You are likely to receive some form of in-browser notice advising you of a Social-a earning opportunity related to the third-party goods/services provider. If you start a shopping session using the Social-a, it will set a cookie on your device through an affiliate network for the purpose of tracking your shopping session and crediting your reward – similar to the way your shopping experience would work if initiated via the shopping portal on social-a.shop. Please note, however, that if cookies or other similar tracking devices from other affiliate marketing companies are already present on your computer, the Software will not automatically overwrite those cookies, but the Social-a may still offer you the ability to start a Social-a earning shopping session when you have arrived at a participating merchant’s website. Our use of cookies is more specifically described in our Privacy Policy.

Use of Social-a Sites and Features
You agree to use the Social-a Sites and Features and the services available on or through the Social-a Sites and Features (the “Services”) only for purposes that are permitted by these Terms, any Additional Terms, and any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices in the relevant jurisdictions. Subject to all of the provisions of these Terms, the Company hereby grants you a limited, terminable, non-transferable, personal, non-exclusive license to access and use the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services solely as provided herein. You may download material displayed on the Social-a Sites and Features for non-commercial, personal use only, provided you do not remove any copyright and other proprietary notices contained on the materials. You may not, however, distribute, modify, broadcast, publicly perform, transmit, reuse, re-post, or use the content of the Social-a Sites and Features, including any text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes without the Company’s prior written permission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all rights not specifically granted in the license set forth above shall be reserved and remain always with the Company. Your right to use the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services is not transferable. You acquire no rights or licenses in or to the Social-a Sites and Features and materials contained therein other than the limited right to access and utilize the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services in accordance with these Terms.
If you are accessing the Social-a Sites and Features via any of our applications available via third parties (collectively “Third Party Outlets”) including, without limitation, Apple, Inc.’s “App Store” or Google, Inc.’s “Google Play” store, you acknowledge and agree that these Terms are entered into by and between you and the Company only, and that none of the Third Party Outlets are party to these Terms. The Third Party Outlets are not sponsors to, nor in any way affiliated with, any of the Company’s Promotions (defined below), nor any of our Services or the Social-a Sites and Features.
User Representations and Warranties
By using the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services, you represent, warrant and covenant that you: (i) have the power and authority to enter into and be bound by these Terms; (ii) shall use the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services only as permitted by these Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms, and not for any unlawful purpose; and (iii) are eighteen (18) years of age or older. If you are under the age of eighteen (18), you are not allowed to use the Social-a Sites and Features nor our Services. Some offerings on the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services may be subject to additional age restrictions.
Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions
Any sweepstakes, contests or promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) that may be offered via any of the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services may be governed by Additional Terms, which may set out eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions, terms and conditions, and details governing how your personal information may be used. It is your responsibility to read all Additional Terms to determine whether or not you want to or are eligible to participate, enter or register in or for the Promotions. By participating in a Promotion, you will be subject to the Additional Terms and you agree to comply with and abide by such Additional Terms and the decisions of the sponsor(s) thereof. The Third Party Outlets are in no way associated with the Company’s Promotions.
Affiliate Programs
Overview
The Company may offer one or more affiliate programs (“Affiliate Programs”) under which you may have the opportunity to earn money (in the social-a.shop program). Not all of the Social-a Sites and Features offer Affiliate Rewards Programs, however, and Affiliate Programs may include Additional Terms that apply to your participation in activities allowing you to earn money (collectively, “Activities”). The Company may limit, suspend or terminate your ability to participate in a Affiliate Program in its sole and absolute discretion, and may void any money, points, rewards, or potential rewards you may have earned or accumulated in an Affiliate Program, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have not complied with these Terms or any Additional Terms applicable to such participation. For example, fraudulent traffic (“fake clicks and fake referrals”) is not tolerated. If we determine in our sole discretion that your account contains fraudulent traffic, we will void any money, points, rewards, or potential rewards you have earned and we will terminate your account. And if a payment has already been made to you, we will allow thirty (30) days for you to refund it or we will take legal action. You agree to abide by the final and binding decisions of the Company regarding any Rewards Program and your participation in it. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or cancel all or a portion of a Affiliate Program, including any points you may have accrued, at any time without prior notice to you.
Earning Points
Points can be earned in a Rewards Program by participating in certain Activities, as described in the applicable Social-a Sites and Features. If you choose to participate and follow the instructions associated with an Activity, upon satisfying all of the requirements of the Activity, you will be awarded the points associated with completing that Activity so long as the Company and/or its third-party Rewards Program users are able to properly track your valid and completed point-earning Activities. For avoidance of doubt, Company shall not be responsible for, nor shall Company be obligated to award points or rewards to Rewards Program participants for, any Activity that is not properly recorded, tracked and/or deemed approved under Company’s or its third-party Rewards Program users’ policies, procedures and systems. There may be limitations on Activities and rewards, so please be sure to review all applicable Additional Terms before deciding whether or not you would like to participate. For example, we reserve the right to request and verify receipts of completed purchases prior to or in connection with the awarding of points for shopping Activities in order to verify with the applicable merchant that such purchases are valid. Some of the limitations on Activities and rewards include (without limitation), our right to change or limit your ability to participate in certain Activities or the Rewards Program itself; our right to change or limit the allowable frequency of Activities; our right to change or limit the number of points you can earn for a given Activity or during a given time period; and our right to change the Activities or rewards available, or the number of points required for a particular reward. Points awarded have no cash value. On the platformm, Points are represented by the $ symbol. In no way is this symbol denoting the USD currency. This symbol is used by various currency symbols throughout the world, including the Colombian Peso.
Redeeming Points
You may redeem points you have earned for rewards offered in a Rewards Program pursuant to these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Supplies may be limited. Rewards may be awarded on a first-come, first-serve and while-supplies-last basis. If you attempt to redeem points for a reward and the Company determines that the reward is unavailable, out of stock, or for whatever reason cannot be provided to you, the Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion, provide you with a reward of equal or greater value. No credit, reversal, or refund of points will be issued for any reason after points have been redeemed; in other words, once you order a reward, you may not cancel the reward or return the reward for a refund of points. The only way to use points is to redeem them for Rewards Program rewards as available from time to time through the social-a.shop Rewards Store at /dashboard, or other applicable Rewards Program redemption sites, as applicable. Some rewards may have eligibility requirements and in that case the Company reserves the right to verify your identity (by requesting photocopy of your driver’s license or state ID card, or other proof as we may require) and eligibility qualifications to our complete satisfaction prior to crediting points or fulfilling any reward in any Rewards Program, or otherwise providing you with any benefit.
Delivery of Rewards
In the Alpha stage of the Platform, Rewards may be emailed to your email address or mailed to the U.S. postal address, as applicable, that you provided when you registered and created an account (“Account”) for the applicable Rewards Program, or to the email or U.S. postal address that our records show your Account was last updated to reflect. Processing times may vary. Rewards that are undeliverable or unclaimed for whatever reason (including, without limitation, because your Account information is incorrect or outdated) may be forfeited, and the points will not be refunded. In the Beta stage of the Platform, no Rewards will be delivered. Social-a is not liable for delivery of any Rewards.
Rewards Program Points Nontransferable
Rewards Program points are nontransferable, may not be bartered or sold, and are void if a transfer is attempted, and such points and the associated Account are not transferable upon death, as part of a domestic relations matter or otherwise by operation of law.
Inactive Accounts
Any Account that has not been logged into and points either earned or redeemed for one year or more may be deemed inactive and the Account closed. In such instances, to request Account reactivation (subject to such terms, limitations and requirements as we may impose from time to time) you may reach us by using the “Contact Us”, “Contact Member Services” or similar contact link in the footer of any of the Social-a Sites. We may modify our inactive Account rules and policies in our Rewards Programs from time to time, and if your Account becomes inactive pursuant to such then-current rules or policies, we may close your Account, without any compensation or further obligation to you.
Points Expiration
Any points in our Rewards Programs that have not been redeemed for two (2) years from the time such points were earned or awarded may be deemed expired and removed from your Account. For existing members of any Rewards Program on July 1, 2016, the foregoing 2-year period shall run from that date with respect to any points in your Account on such date. In such instances, to request re-crediting of the expired points to the Account (subject to such terms, limitations and requirements as we may impose from time to time) you can reach us by using the “Contact Us”, “Contact Member Services” or similar contact link in the footer of any of the Social-a Sites. We may modify our points expiration rules and policies for any points in our Rewards Programs from time to time, and if your points expire pursuant to such then-current rules or policies, we may remove such points from your Account, without any compensation or further obligation to you regarding the expired points.
Prohibitions
You are prohibited from using any paid service to drive traffic (clicks, referrals, etc) to your account. Paid services include but are not limited to: Google Ads, Snapchat Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, purchasing ad-space (“shoutouts”) from social media influencers, and more.

Compliance with FTC Guidelines on Endorsements/Testimonials
If you choose to promote our services to the public, including your own personal social networks, you agree that you will comply with the FTC’s Guidelines Concerning the Use of Testimonials and Endorsements in Advertising (available at //www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf) (“Guidelines”).
For example, if you have been paid or provided with free products in exchange for discussing or promoting a Social-a product or service, or if you are an employee of a company and you decide to discuss or promote that company’s products or services through the Social-a services, you agree to comply with the Guidelines’ requirements for disclosing such relationships. You, and not Social-a, are solely responsible for any endorsements or testimonials you make regarding any product or service made on or through Social-a’s services.
Binding Arbitration of all Disputes
Providing Notice of a Claim.
The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between them (“Disputes or Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (1) Disputes or Claims related in any way to any Social-a Sites and Features or our Service, privacy, data security, collection, use and sharing, advertising, purchase transactions, points earnings, awards, balances, expiration, or transactions, sweepstakes, promotions, or any emails, texts, or other communications with you; (2) Disputes or Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the transactions or relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (3) Disputes or Claims that arose before your agreement to these Terms of Use or any prior arbitration agreement; (4) Disputes or Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (5) Disputes or Claims that may arise after the termination of your use of any Social-a Sites and Features or our Services.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by encrypted email, a typed Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Notice to us must be sent to our customer service email address at: [email protected], Subject Line: Attention: Legal Department; Notice of Dispute. The Notice must include: (1) the nature and basis of your Dispute or Claim; (2) identification or enclosure of all relevant documents and information; and (3) a description of the specific relief that you seek from us.
Providing Us an Opportunity to Informally Resolve Your Dispute.
Before you may pursue or participate in any Dispute or Claim (or raise such Dispute or Claim as a defense) in small claims court or in arbitration against us, you must first send the Notice described above, and you must allow us a reasonable opportunity (not less than thirty (30) days) to resolve your Dispute or Claim. After we receive your Notice, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to resolve your Dispute or Claim.
Agreement to Participate in Binding Arbitration.
If the parties do not reach an informal resolution of your Dispute or Claim within thirty (30) days after we receive your written Notice, you may pursue your Dispute or Claim in arbitration or, solely to the extent specifically provided below, in small claims court. If the parties cannot reach an informal resolution to the Dispute or Claim within thirty (30) days after our receipt of your Notice, you may commence an arbitration proceeding by sending an arbitration demand (“Arbitration Demand”) to the following address: Social-a Dispute Resolution, Social-a, PTY, Melbourne, Australia, Attention: Legal Department. The parties agree to arbitrate any Dispute or Claim between them, except to the extent either party chooses to instead pursue the Dispute or Claim in small claims court as provided below. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators generally can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
Except as otherwise provided herein, upon either party filing an Arbitration Demand, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, unless your Dispute or Claim exceeds $75,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses). If you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses) in damages, the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) will govern the payment of these fees. The AAA Rules, as modified by these Rules, will govern the arbitration. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If your Dispute or Claim is for $10,000 or less (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules. If your Dispute or Claim exceeds $10,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Furthermore, if AAA at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, the Company agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this arbitration provision, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of language in bold type below requiring individual arbitration and prohibiting class, representative or consolidated arbitration proceedings.
Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) in which you reside (except that, if you reside outside of the United States, any such hearings will take place in Los Angeles County, California). One arbitrator, who is selected under the AAA Rules and who has expertise in consumer disputes in the Internet industry, will conduct the arbitration. If no arbitrator possessing such expertise is available, then the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who is selected by the mutual written approval of the parties. Except as allowed under applicable law and the AAA Rules, the decisions of the arbitrator will be binding and conclusive on all parties. Judgment upon any award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. This provision will be specifically enforceable in any court. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as otherwise provided herein, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Dispute or Claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Also, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
We may make a written settlement offer to you before the arbitrator issues an award. If, after the arbitrator finds in your favor on the merits of the claim, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than our written offer, we will: (1) pay you the greater of the amount of the award or $7,500 (“Alternative Payment”); and (2) pay your attorney, if you use an attorney, twice the amount of any reasonable attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator, and reimburse any expenses that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your arbitration claim (“Attorney Fee Premium”). The Attorney Fee Premium does not supplant any right you may have to reasonable attorneys’ fees under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a greater amount under applicable law, the Attorney Fee Premium does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. You may not, however, recover duplicative attorneys’ fees or costs. If we do not make a written settlement offer to you before the arbitrator issues an award, you and your attorney will be entitled to the Alternative Payment and the Attorney Fee Premium, respectively, if the arbitrator decides in your favor on the merits. We agree that we will not seek any award of attorneys’ fees, even if we are entitled to such fees. The arbitrator may make any determinations and resolve any Dispute or Claim as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, the Alternative Payment, or the Attorney Fee Premium at any time during the proceeding and within fourteen (14) days after the arbitrator’s final ruling on the merits. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Furthermore, these arbitration provisions shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT:
ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE OR CLAIM.
UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES OR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, IF A COURT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE ABOVE PROVISIONS REGARDING CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, THEN THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO YOU. WHETHER A DISPUTE OR CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
This arbitration agreement covers any Dispute or Claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between the parties, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, even if the Dispute or Claim arises or may arise before or after the period(s) during which you are using the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “the Company”, “we” and “us” include Social-a, PTY, LLC, and each of their users, and each such entity’s respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents, suppliers and assignees. The AAA Rules evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
The parties must bring any Dispute or Claim hereunder (including any Dispute or Claim arising out of or related to the AAA Rules), within two (2) years after the Dispute or Claim arises, or the Dispute or Claim will be permanently barred. To the extent the law applicable under the Governing Law section below makes this limitations period unenforceable with respect to any Dispute(s) or Claim(s), then the statutes of limitations of the state whose laws govern the AAA Rules under the Governing Law section below shall apply.
We may make changes to this arbitration provision from time to time. You may reject any material changes by sending us a written objection within thirty (30) days of the change to Social-a Dispute Resolution, Social-a, PTY, Melbourne, Australia, Attention: Legal Department. By rejecting any future material change, you are agreeing to arbitrate in accordance with the language of this provision. If you do not send written objection to any change as provided above, you are agreeing to arbitration in accordance with the changed language of this provision. To the extent that an arbitrator or court of applicable jurisdiction determines that applying any changes to this arbitration provision to any Disputes or Claims relating to prior events or circumstances would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract or otherwise violate your legal rights, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the effective date of such changes, and in that case any Disputes or Claims relating to such prior events or circumstances shall be arbitrated in accordance with the language of this provision without such changes to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms being deemed illusory or unenforceable.
Small Claims Court. You may choose to pursue your Dispute or Claim in small claims court rather than by arbitration if your Dispute or Claim qualifies for small claims court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over you and us is proper.
Governing Law.The AAA Rules, and any Dispute or Claim arising between you and the Company related in any way to the AAA Rules or any Social-a Sites and Features or our Service, privacy, data security, collection, use and sharing, advertising, purchase transactions, points earnings, awards, balances, expiration, or transactions, sweepstakes, promotions, or any emails, texts, or other communications with you, or arising out of or relating to any aspect of the transactions or relationship between us, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or common law, will be governed by the internal laws of the state in which you reside (except that, if you reside outside of the United States, the internal laws of the State of California will govern), without regard to choice of law principles.
Tax Matters
You acknowledge and agree that we do not have the ability, in every instance, to determine whether or not the points, rewards, prizes, or credits you earned or redeemed in any Rewards Program are considered reportable taxable earnings in your jurisdiction. You are therefore responsible for any and all tax liability arising from or associated with your use of the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services, including liability arising from your accrual of Rewards Program points or your redemption of such points for cash or other value. As a condition of your continued use of the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services, we reserve the right to require you to provide necessary tax reporting information if our records show that you are or may be required to report the value of your points, rewards, prizes, or credits to an appropriate tax authority. We encourage you, and it is your responsibility, to seek advice of a tax expert in order to determine the tax consequences of your use of the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services, and any associated points, rewards, prizes, or credits earned or redeemed.
Notification of Changes
We reserve the right to make changes to these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we decide to change these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes by sending you an administrative email and/or posting those changes in places on the Social-a Sites and Features deemed appropriate by us so our users are always aware of the terms of their use of the Social-a Sites and Features and our Services. Your continued use of any of the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services after delivery of the administrative email to you or after the changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, please discontinue your use of such Social-a Sites and Features and our Services. To the extent that an arbitrator or court of applicable jurisdiction determines that applying any changes to these Terms to any prior events or circumstances would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the date of such changes, to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms being deemed illusory or unenforceable. In any event, if you used any of the Social-a Sites and Features or our Services pursuant to a prior version of these Terms that required a certain notice period to you prior to any changes being effective, any changes under these Terms will not be effective as to you until the previously-specified notice period has passed after the date of these Terms.
