$BLUEBUCKS™ REWARDS PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS Certain capitalized words used in these terms are defined in the last section below.
The $BlueBucks Rewards Program is an incentive rewards program offered by BlueVolt in conjunction with BlueBucks, Inc. (“BBI”). Under the $BlueBucks Rewards Program, you may be eligible to receive $BlueBucks upon your successful completion of a training course with BlueVolt or by completing another activity designated by BlueVolt. The specific details regarding the number of $BlueBucks you may receive for completing a training course or other activity are provided on the BlueVolt website or within the training course’s or other activity’s informational materials.
$BlueBucks are incentive points that may be Redeemed with BBI for certain types of goods or services, if the conditions set forth in these Terms are satisfied. $BlueBucks are not redeemable for cash and have no cash value. $BlueBucks are issued by BBI and are distributed under the $BlueBucks Rewards Program by BlueVolt. BBI shall be solely liable to you with respect to your $BlueBucks, and by participating in the Program you agree that BlueVolt shall have no obligation or liability to you with respect to any $BlueBucks.
$BlueBucks are redeemable only by BBI, as explained below.
You must accept these Terms and have an open and active User Account with BlueVolt in order to be eligible to receive $BlueBucks. Once you have opened a User Account and successfully completed the training program or other activity in question and BlueVolt has verified such completion, the specified amount of $BlueBucks will be issued electronically in a digital format and deposited directly in your User Account.
In order to be eligible to Redeem your $BlueBucks, you must have accumulated a minimum balance of $10.00 of $BlueBucks in your User Account (the “Threshold”). Upon reaching the Threshold, $BlueBucks may be Redeemed with BBI for Gift Cards, which are issued by participating third party merchants (“Participating Merchants”) unaffiliated with BlueVolt or BBI, or for certain other types of goods or services (“Other Goods/Services”).
Redemptions for Gift Cards.
-
In order to Redeem your $BlueBucks for Gift Cards, you must first visit the $BlueBucks web page at go.bluevolt.com and click on the $BlueBucks link in the top navigation bar, or on your $BlueBucks balance in the user information bar. You will then automatically be transferred to a webpage operated by BBI for Redemption of your $BlueBucks. Prior to Redeeming your $BlueBucks, the email address associated with your User Account must be verified by BlueVolt. BlueVolt will then share such email address to BBI for Redemption purposes. During the Redemption process, you will be asked to select a Gift Card from a Participating Merchant and the denomination of the Gift Card (available denominations of Gift Cards may vary from merchant to merchant). You may not Redeem $BlueBucks for a Gift Card that has a larger denomination than your available $BlueBucks balance. If you Redeem $BlueBucks for a Gift Card with a smaller denomination than your available $BlueBucks balance, the remaining balance (i.e., the difference between your initial $BlueBucks balance and the denomination of the Gift Card) will remain available in your User Account for future Redemptions (assuming such remaining balance meets the Threshold and you satisfy all other conditions for Redemption). After the Redemption transaction is processed, you will receive a link on the BBI Redemption web page. A copy of the link will also be distributed to your verified email account by BBI. You must then click on the link to download and/or print the Gift Card.
-
Each Participating Merchant may have its own specific terms and conditions for using or redeeming its Gift Cards (i.e., online, in a store, or over the phone). Please see the terms and conditions provided by the merchant for the Gift Card that you have chosen. The terms and conditions for each Participating Merchant are listed on or with the Gift Card. Neither BlueVolt nor BBI has control over the merchant terms and conditions and they are subject to change at any time without notice. Neither BlueVolt nor BBI shall be responsible for compliance or noncompliance with any merchant terms and conditions.
-
Gift Cards are delivered electronically and typically arrive within one business day; however, neither BlueVolt nor BBI shall be liable if electronic delivery does not occur for a longer period of time.
-
Gift Cards are subject to availability. The Participating Merchants in the $BlueBucks Rewards Program are subject to change at any time without notice. Some rewards have limited availability. BlueVolt, BBI, and Participating Merchants are not responsible for replacing lost or stolen Gift Cards. BBI reserves the right to substitute items of equal or greater value. All Gift Cards are subject to the specific terms and conditions, including any dormancy/maintenance fees and expiration dates of the Participating Merchants. Please note that the expiration term for Gift Cards received upon Redemption of $BlueBucks may vary from merchant to merchant and are subject to change by the merchant at any time without notice. Neither BlueVolt nor BBI shall have any liability to you for any Gift Card provided to you under the $BlueBucks Rewards Program.
Redemptions for Other Goods/Services.
-
In order to Redeem your $BlueBucks for Other Goods/Services, you must first visit the $BlueBucks web page at go.bluevolt.com and click on the $BlueBucks link in the top navigation bar, or on your $BlueBucks balance in the user information bar. You will then automatically be transferred to a webpage operated by BBI for Redemption of your $BlueBucks, which will describe the Other Goods/Services for which $BlueBucks may be Redeemed as well as the procedure for making the Redemption. Prior to Redeeming your $BlueBucks, the email address associated with your User Account must be verified by BlueVolt.
-
For example, $BlueBucks may be Redeemed towards the purchase of certain online training courses offered by BlueVolt. In such case, you may be asked during the purchase process if you would like to Redeem $BlueBucks towards the purchase of the training course. If you elect to do so, you will Redeem the designated amount of $BlueBucks with BBI, and BBI will apply a credit against the purchase price of the training course.
-
If you Redeem $BlueBucks for Other Goods/Services with a value less than your available $BlueBucks balance, the remaining balance (i.e., the difference between your initial $BlueBucks balance and the value of the Other Goods/Services) will remain available in your User Account for future Redemptions (assuming such remaining balance meets the Threshold and you satisfy all other conditions for Redemption).
-
After the Redemption transaction is processed, you will receive a link on the BBI Redemption web page. A copy of the link will also be distributed to your verified email account by BBI.
You may not Redeem more than $600 of $BlueBucks during any calendar year without the express written consent of BBI. Such consent may be contingent upon your providing your personal tax identification information to BBI for tax information purposes (i.e., issuance of a 1099-MISC) or upon the satisfaction of other conditions.
If you redeem $600 or more of $BlueBucks, you will be required to fill out a BlueVolt form which is the equivalent to the information contained on a W9. Upon completion, BlueVolt will send you a 1099-MISC form via USPS first class mail by the legally required IRS date.
$BlueBucks do not expire, and there are no fees subtracted from the available $BlueBucks in your User Account. In addition, any $BlueBucks that have previously expired under a prior version of these Terms have been reinstated and are currently eligible for Redemption (assuming the requirements for Redemption have been satisfied).
BlueVolt and BBI reserve the right at any time to change, alter, amend, add or subtract from the $BlueBucks Rewards Program, and these Terms, with or without notice. For example, BlueVolt and/or BBI may: (i) change the number of $BlueBucks you have earned, but have not yet Redeemed, (ii) change either the Threshold or the number of $BlueBucks required to Redeem for a specific reward, (iii) change the Gift Cards or Other Goods/Services for which $BlueBucks may be Redeemed; or (iv) cancel the $BlueBucks Rewards Program altogether. If BlueVolt decides to terminate the $BlueBucks Rewards Program altogether, it will do so only after giving three months’ prior notice on its website.
If for any reason BlueVolt cancels any $BlueBucks accrued in your User Account, any unredeemed $BlueBucks will be forfeited. If you cancel your BlueVolt account, any and all $BlueBucks accrued but not yet Redeemed will be forfeited immediately without reinstatement.
$BlueBucks received and identified in your User Account do not constitute personal property.
$BlueBucks are not transferable by operation of law or otherwise to any person or entity and cannot be transferred to any other account.
