Please note that not all bank accounts and debit/credit cards are eligible to be linked to your Account. All determinations as to whether an account or card is eligible to be a Payment Credential are at our sole discretion. For example, certain Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards are not eligible to be linked to your Account, including, but not limited to, the following: prepaid cards, corporate cards, purchasing cards, store cards which can only be used at their respective retailers’ stores, government-administered prepaid cards (including Electronic Benefit (EBT) cards), healthcare cards (including Health Savings Account (HSA) cards, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, and insurance prepaid cards), Visa Buxx, and cards that are not processed through the Visa U.S.A payment system, the Mastercard payment system, or the American Express payment system. In order to be eligible as a Payment Credential, it must be issued or maintained by a U.S. bank.

(c) For more information on how we use your Payment Credential transaction information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
1.5. Referrals. We may offer bonus Rewards (as defined below) when someone you refer becomes a user of the Service (a “Referral Program”). Any such Referral Program may be subject to additional terms and conditions set forth in the offer or App, at Pogo’s sole discretion.
You agree that you have obtained all necessary permissions and consents from an individual before referring that individual to Pogo and will inform the individual: (a) that we are not the sender or initiator of any messages or communications that you send to that individual relating to the Referral Program; (b) that you are not acting as our agent in sending any such messages or communications; and (c) that you may be receiving a referral bonus if the individual becomes a new user of Pogo. We do not directly send any referral codes to individuals.
Current or inactive former users of the Service cannot qualify as new users for purposes of a Referral Program, and any attempt to create referrals to non-existent individuals or to multiple accounts for the same individual will be void and are in violation of these Terms. We reserve the right to void or take any other action we deem appropriate with respect to referrals, including if a referral code is shared in a social media post or from a social media account that contains offensive, harassing, violent, pornographic, or otherwise inappropriate content. Pogo may discontinue and/or revoke any Referral Program or incentive program in its sole discretion at any time without notice. Pogo reserves the right to decline to award referral bonuses, rescind bonus Rewards credited, or take any other action related to a Referral Program.
2.1 Pogo Rewards Program. The Pogo Rewards Program allows you to earn rewards (”Rewards”) from everyday purchases and activities and get paid for sharing your data for market research and personalized advertisements (collectively, “Data Dividends”). If you are not opted-in to Data Dividends, we will not share your personal information for market research or personalized ads. However, if you are opted-out of Data Dividends, Pogo reserves the right to limit the Service and incentives associated with the Pogo Rewards Program.
For more information on Data Dividends, and for information around how we process your information and data in connection with any Rewards, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
The Pogo Rewards Program includes, but is not limited to:
a) Claim Feed Rewards. Subject to these Terms, we may automatically provide Rewards to you when you purchase qualifying goods or services with your Payment Credential or perform other qualifying actions identified by us, including taking surveys (”Claim Feed Rewards”).
Pogo establishes the terms and conditions for each qualifying purchase or action and determines whether you have satisfied such terms and conditions to receive Claim Feed Rewards. Such terms and conditions are set forth on the Site and the App and may be updated, modified, suspended, or canceled by Pogo at any time in its sole discretion.
Not all transactions with your registered Visa, MasterCard, and American Express card are eligible for Claim Feed Rewards. For example, bank fees, interest, debits/payments, tax, and transfers are not eligible for Claim Feed Rewards. Transaction eligibility for Claim Feed Rewards is at the sole discretion of Pogo.
b) Receipt Scanning Rewards: You may earn Rewards by submitting qualifying physical store receipts by scanning and uploading such receipts to the Pogo App (”Receipt Scanning Rewards”). In order to qualify for Receipt Scanning Rewards, each scanned receipt must include the retailer’s name, date/time of purchase, item(s) purchased (to the extent itemized on the receipt), price(s) of items purchased, and the total receipt price. Duplicate physical store receipts, receipts of purchases made by others outside your household, fake/altered receipts, and blurry images of receipts not readable by our system will not qualify for Receipt Scanning Rewards. We do not accept and will not give Receipt Scanning Rewards for receipts that are older than 14 calendar days (from the date of purchase to the date of submission). Pogo may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of receipts that can be submitted by you in a period of time to a maximum quantity and impose other limitations, as set forth in the App.
In addition to the qualifiers set forth in these Terms, Pogo may establish additional terms and conditions for scanned receipts that qualify for Receipt Scanning Rewards. Such terms and conditions are set forth in the App and may be updated, modified, suspended, or canceled by Pogo at any time in its sole discretion. Receipt eligibility for Receipt Scanning Rewards is at the sole discretion of Pogo.
c) Linked Retailer Rewards: You can earn additional Rewards for purchases with retailer or digital consumer account(s) you choose to link to your Pogo account, such as your Amazon, Target, or Walmart account (collectively, “Linked Retailers”), where you receive your receipts (”Linked Retailer Rewards”).
Accordingly, you authorize Pogo as your agent to access your Linked Retailers to pull receipts of your purchases. You represent and agree that for all Linked Retailers, you are an authorized user of that account and that you have the authority to provide Pogo access to that account as your agent. Pogo stores those log-in credentials on your device and not on our systems. Pogo is not responsible for the security of your mobile device.
d) Linked Email Rewards: You can earn additional Rewards for email accounts you choose to link to your Pogo account (”Linked Emails”) where you receive your receipts (”Linked Email Rewards”).
Accordingly, you authorize Pogo as your agent to access your Linked Emails to pull receipts of your purchases. You represent and agree that for all Linked Emails, you are an authorized user of that account and that you have the authority to provide Pogo access to that account as your agent. You understand that while linked to Pogo, every time you open the Pogo App, Pogo is automatically able to access your Linked Emails to retrieve email receipts from these whitelisted email addresses (all countries): https://ereceipts.blinkreceipt.com/.
Pogo stores those log-in credentials on your device and not on our systems. Pogo is not responsible for the security of your mobile device.
e) Browser Extension Rewards: You may earn an initial Reward for installing and logging into the Extension, limited to one over the lifetime of a user, and an ongoing Reward for keeping the extension installed and allowing Pogo to track, log, and share your browser data (collectively, “Browser Extension Rewards”).
Pogo establishes the terms and conditions of Browser Extension Rewards and determines whether you have satisfied such terms and conditions to receive Browser Extension Rewards. Such terms and conditions are set forth on the Site and the App and may be updated, modified, suspended, or canceled by Pogo at any time in its sole discretion.
f) Cashback Offer Rewards: You are able to earn Rewards from qualifying purchases of eligible items from participating merchants through shopping links (”Boost Offers”) found in the App (”Cashback Offer Rewards”). In order for the purchase to qualify for Cashback Offer Rewards, you must complete your purchase transaction during the same shopping session you started after clicking on the Boost Offer. If you visit other sites before completing your purchase or use coupons not provided by Pogo, your purchase may not qualify for Cashback Offer Rewards.
Pogo establishes the terms and conditions for each qualifying purchase and determines whether you have satisfied such terms and conditions to receive Cashback Offer Rewards. Such terms and conditions are set forth on the Site, the App, and the Extension and may be updated, modified, suspended, or canceled by Pogo at any time in its sole discretion. Pogo reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to withhold, cancel or adjust the amount of any Cashback Offer Reward or Cashback Offer Reward payment, for any reason at any time including, but not limited to: failure to track, charge-backs, returns, duplicate entry or accounting error, merchant non-payment, fraudulent transactions, non-receipt of payment from or refund of payment to you by the merchant.
When you activate a Boost Offer and complete a qualifying purchase at a participating merchant, this will generate a pending Cashback Offer Reward, which is conditional until confirmed by the merchant. Any information sent to you, such as a notification, email or in-App message, regarding a pending Cashback Offer Reward shall be conditional and shall not create a contractual obligation.
g) Incentivized Actions: Subject to these Terms and any additional terms and conditions set forth in the App, you may earn Rewards by participating in or interacting with surveys, offers, advertisements, videos, and other content (collectively, “Incentivized Actions”). Rewards for Incentivized Actions are earned once you have fully and properly satisfied all the requirements of the Incentivized Action in the manner specified and in compliance with the applicable terms, as determined by Pogo and/or our third-party partners sponsoring the Incentivized Actions (“Incentivized Action Rewards”).
Pogo shall not be responsible for, nor shall Pogo be obligated to award Incentivized Action Rewards to you for any Incentivized Action that is not deemed a successfully completed Incentivized Action by Pogo and/or our third-party partners sponsoring the Incentivized Actions.
Pogo reserves the right to:
All such changes or limitations shall apply to all past, present, or future Incentivized Actions and their Incentivized Action Rewards, unless otherwise expressly stated.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and understand that, by using the Service and participating in certain Incentivized Action Rewards, you agree to be bound by the terms and policies of the third-party partners associated with the Incentivized Action and which we may engage from time to time as part of the Service, in our sole discretion, including, without limitation:
h) Sweepstakes, Contests & Promotions: Any sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) that may be offered via the Service may be governed by a separate set of rules not covered in the Terms. In most instances, these rules will be located directly within the App and may include eligibility requirements and terms and conditions. By participating in these Promotions, you agree that you have read and understand these rules, you are eligible to participate, and you will comply with and abide by such rules.
2.2 Redeeming Rewards. Subject to these Terms and our approval, you may request that we redeem Rewards from your Account. Rewards may only be redeemed from your Account through the Mobile Apps. The balance of Rewards in your Account must be equivalent to at least $3 in order to redeem Rewards, subject to the redemption rate specified in the App at the time of redemption (which we may change at any time in our sole discretion). When requesting a redemption, you will select a preferred redemption method (your "Redemption Method"), such as Venmo, PayPal, Visa Prepaid Card, retailer gift card, or charity donation. The redemption will be processed after we receive and approve your redemption request.
We use Plaid Technologies, Inc. (“Plaid”) to gather users’ data from financial institutions. By using the Services, you grant us and Plaid the right, power and authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution. You agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy. By redeeming Rewards from your Account, you authorize us to electronically credit your Redemption Method for the applicable redemption amount. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until the termination of your Account.
Certain limits may apply to your redemption of Rewards. There is no automatic redemption of Rewards. Rewards do not accrue interest.
Without limiting any of the other conditions of these Terms, we may modify the redemption terms for Rewards at any time in our sole discretion.
2.3 Expiration of Rewards. Your unredeemed Rewards will expire and will no longer be redeemable after one hundred eighty (180) days of inactivity, which is defined as consecutive days where you do not do either of the following: a) perform any Reward earning action; or b) redeem any Rewards. After one hundred seventy-three (173) days of inactivity, Pogo will provide you final notice by sending an email or text message to the email address or phone number provided when you created your account that your unredeemed Rewards will expire after another seven (7) days of inactivity.
Prior to your Rewards expiration date, you may prevent your then unredeemed Rewards from expiring by doing either of the following: i) performing a Reward earning action; or ii) redeeming your Rewards. Expired Rewards cannot be recovered.

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Pogo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
12.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Site, to the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with Pogo, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or Pogo may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of these Terms.
12.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent: National Registered Agents, Inc., 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Pogo will pay them for you. In addition, Pogo will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
12.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Pogo. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
12.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND POGO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Pogo are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 12.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
12.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
12.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: privacy@joinpogo.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the phone number you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
12.7 Severability. Except as provided in subsection 12.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
12.8 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Pogo.
12.9 Modification.

13.4 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Pogo use electronic means, whether you use the Service or send us emails, or whether Pogo posts notices on the Service or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you: (a) consent to receive communications from Pogo in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Pogo provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were provided in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
13.5 Force Majeure. Pogo shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

13.8 Governing Law and Venue. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the state of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods does not apply to these Terms. Both you and Pogo agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York.
13.9 Notice. Where Pogo requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing Pogo with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to Pogo is not valid, Pogo's dispatch of the email containing such notice will constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Pogo at the following address: Pogo Technologies, Inc.; 228 Park Ave S Suite 77949; New York, New York 10003. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Pogo by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
13.10 International Users. The Service can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to services and content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Pogo intends to announce such services or content in your country. The Service is controlled and offered by Pogo from its facilities in the United States of America. Pogo makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
13.11 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Pogo’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
