Member System is an application that enables you to engage and reward members through the various marketing and referral activities (“Services”) offered by the Member System team (“we” or “us”). Should you have any questions or concerns about the Terms and Services, please contact us at LoyaltyProgram@shopline.com.
1. Before using the Services, you must go through and accept the terms set forth here (which may be revised and amended from time to time, and are hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”). When reviewing the Terms, you should also check all linked information and related agreements introduced into the Terms. By accepting the Terms, you hereby agree to and accept the Member System Privacy Policy that is incorporated herein by reference and is applicable whenever you use the Services. The Terms may be updated and/or amended from time to time. By using or continuing to use Services, you accept the Terms.
2. To use the Member System, you must provide us with one or more payment methods that are currently valid and acceptable (which may be updated from time to time), in order to cover all incurred fees and recurring fees (as defined below). We will charge you via any of the valid payment methods authorized by you (“authorized payment method”), and we will charge applicable fees via the authorized payment method designated by you unless Services are terminated and all outstanding amounts have been paid in full. You may need to deposit a minimum amount (such as USD 1) in order to authorize us to charge you via the authorized payment method. This amount will be refunded (usually in seven (7) days).
3. You are solely responsible for your activities and conducts in the Member System, as well as for all messages, texts, data, information, graphics, images, photos, personal data, audio, video, projects, links and any other content (collectively, the “Content”) that you transmit and publish via Member System. We reserve the right (but are not obliged) to monitor your activities and content in the Member System and/or those in connection with the Services. We disclose any Content when required to do so by law, government or regulatory authorities or in the good faith belief that the action is necessary to (i) comply with legal or regulatory obligations; (ii) protect and defend our rights or property; (iii) act in emergency circumstances to safeguard the personal safety of Member System or Services users or the public; or (iv) be exempted from legal liabilities. You further agree that we may remove or disable any Content at any time for any reason (including but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities related to such Content).
4. When using the Services, you represent and warrant to us that you will not:
a. Transmit unsolicited, illegal or prohibited correspondence, such as spams;
b. Use purchased, rented or third party lists of email addresses;
c. Include in the Content any information that is false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, malicious, discriminatory, and libelous about any other person or other’s privacy; constitute a part of a fraud; infringe any third-party’s rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other proprietary or intellectual property rights; or is otherwise reasonably considered inappropriate;
d. Impersonate or imitate any individual, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with any individual;
e. Include or transmit any code of a destructive nature that may damage, harmfully interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information, or impair the integrity or performance of the Services;
f. Harvest or otherwise collect any data or information (which may be personal or otherwise) about users without their consent.
5. You shall not access the Services for the following purposes: promoting or facilitating the development of products or services that may compete with the Services; soliciting business for commercial activities that compete with us; using Member System for any illegal purpose or in any manner that may damage, disable, overload, or impair the Services; or using Member System in a way that interferes with any other party’s use of the Services.
6. You represent and warrant to us that you will:
a. Clearly post, maintain, and abide by a publicly accessible privacy statement on digital assets for collecting underlying data. Such a statement shall (a) meet the requirements of applicable data protection laws; (b) describe your use of the Services; and (c) notify end users to enroll Member System as a processor and include a link to the Member System privacy policy;
b. Send Content only to end users who have provided valid consent to the Services;

g. Ensure that the sender and the commercial nature of the Content are not obfuscated or hidden in the header and subject line of any Content. Obfuscation or concealment occurs when the header and subject line are intentionally designed in such a way that the end user, before viewing the content of the communication, does not receive misleading information or information with respect to the actual identity of the sender or the commercial nature of the message.
7. You acknowledge and confirm that:
a. Member System is only a channel for information transmission, which does not initiate or direct the transmission of any information, nor select or modify any information contained in the transmission;
