5. Exclusive Offers

5.1 As a Registered User, you may be eligible to participate in certain exclusive offer programs (each, an “Exclusive Offer Program”). We retain sole discretion to determine: (1) your eligibility to receive and/or redeem an exclusive offer (an “Exclusive Offer”); (2) the amount and nature of your Exclusive Offer; and (3) the duration of the Exclusive Offer Program and offer. We also retain the sole discretion to deny any Exclusive Offer offered in connection with the Exclusive Offer Program in the event you violate these Terms.

5.2 To redeem an Exclusive Offer, you must be a Registered User, register to participate in the Exclusive Offer Program and validate your eligibility to receive the Exclusive Offer. To activate an Exclusive Offer, you must follow the instructions on the page for activation by registering on such page to participate (or similar process). You will be asked to upload proof of payment to a third party prior to receiving your Exclusive Offer. Any information you provide during the registration process or when uploading proof of payment will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy, however, you acknowledge that it is necessary for us to provide such information to third party vendors in order to facilitate reimbursement of your Exclusive Offer and you hereby grant us permission to share such information.

5.3 To validate your Exclusive Offer, you must follow the instructions provided.

  • For Exclusive Offers requiring proof of purchase, you must: (1) purchase the exact product described in the Exclusive Offer (certain sizes and flavors may be excluded) and only through a valid participating retailer / store, as described on the product page; and (2) submit a proof of purchase by taking a photograph or multiple photographs of your receipt and uploading those photographs to the platform. The receipt will be reviewed as appropriate. The receipt must include, at a minimum, the following information: (1) the exact product described in the Exclusive Offer; (2) a purchase date not beyond the Exclusive Offer; (3) a reflection of a participating retailer / store; (4) have fully visible terms on the receipt, including store details, product details, date, time, and total purchase; and (5) be unique in that the receipt has not been used with a prior Exclusive Offer. Thingtesting reserves the right to reject any receipts that do not meet the above criteria. Upon validation of your receipt, and subject in each case to the applicable participating brand’s prior payment of such reimbursement amounts, you will receive reimbursement from a third party processor of reimbursement via Venmo, PayPal or other payment method provided by you in connection with your registration. You expressly acknowledge that you are not entitled to receive a reimbursement of any portion of sales, use, ad valorem, VAT or other tax you paid in connection with your purchase. In no event will payment be received by or sent to you from directly from Thingtesting.

5.4 Exclusive Offer availability may vary and you are not guaranteed to receive an Exclusive Offer by purchasing any particular product. To be eligible to receive any Exclusive Offer, you must upload your receipt by the expiration date set forth on the Exclusive Offer page and before all offers are claimed (limited quantities available). The total offer subject to redemption will be determined by Us in connection with any partners participating in the Exclusive Offers Program. Exclusive Offers are for personal use only and may not be sold or resold. Any Exclusive Offer amount will be based on the dollar amount you paid on the product before tax and after any discounts are applied, and we reserve the right to amend, modify or change the Exclusive Offer Program terms to include or exclude shipping and online delivery fees or exclude certain sales channels from participation in the Exclusive Offer. Exclusive Offers cannot be combined with other awards or programs. Exclusive Offers may be decreased or reversed if the product is returned or canceled, or if your actions are deemed abusive of the Exclusive Offer terms, or are obtained through untrue, libelous, illegal, fraudulent, or other behavior in violation of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the terms of any Exclusive Offer Program in which you may participate, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for reimbursement of any sales, use, ad valorem, VAT or other paid by you for any product that is part of an Exclusive Offer Program and understand that you may not receive reimbursement for any such taxes.
