OAUG
Rewards° Guidelines
1. Membership in OAUG Rewards° and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of OAUG. OAUG and its partners have the right to change, limit, modify, increase, decrease or cancel OAUG Rewards° Terms, point redemption values, benefits, reward levels, conditions of participation, rules for issuing, redeeming, retaining, using or forfeiting points and rewards, or any other aspect of OAUG Rewards°, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, even though such changes may affect the redemption value of the points already accumulated, the ability to use accumulated points, or the ability to obtain certain rewards. Each member is responsible for reading from time to time the OAUG Rewards° Terms and their account statements in order to understand his or her rights, responsibilities, and status in OAUG Rewards°.
2. The awarding and redemption of OAUG Rewards° points are void where prohibited by law. The accumulation of points is subject to these Terms. Points accrued under OAUG Rewards° do not constitute property, do not entitle a member to a vested right or interest and have no cash value. As such, OAUG Rewards° points are not redeemable for cash, transferable, or assignable for any reason. The sale, solicitation, trade or other trafficking in OAUG Rewards° points or referrals is strictly prohibited. The value of OAUG Rewards° points and the availability of rewards available for redemption are subject to change at any time, without notice.
3. Each OAUG Rewards° member will receive an OAUG Rewards° identification number. Upon receiving an OAUG Rewards° identification number the member will be eligible to accrue OAUG Rewards° points.
4. Participation in OAUG Rewards° is subject to these Terms, as well as any policies, restrictions, and procedures that OAUG may adopt or modify from time to time, including any conditions applicable to specific rewards available for redemption. OAUG may amend these Terms and any other applicable policies, restrictions, and procedures at any time without notice. OAUG has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms. Your continued use of OAUG Rewards°, following the posting of conspicuous notice of any modification, will indicate your acceptance of any modification to the Terms hereof. If at any time a member does not accept the Terms and Conditions, or any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto, or becomes dissatisfied with OAUG Rewards°, his or her sole remedy is to terminate participation and membership in the program.
5. Any failure to abide by these Terms or any policies, restrictions, or procedures implemented by OAUG, any conduct detrimental to OAUG, or any misrepresentation or fraudulent activities in connection with OAUG Rewards° may result, in addition to any rights or remedies available to OAUG in law or equity, in the termination of membership in OAUG Rewards°, as well as forfeiture of OAUG Rewards° points accrued to date and any other benefits accrued in connection therewith, in OAUG’s sole discretion. OAUG reserves the right to invalidate OAUG Rewards° points from a member's account if it determines that such points were improperly credited to such member's account or obtained fraudulently. OAUG reserves the right to require proof of accrual of OAUG Rewards° points and OAUG reserves the right to delay the processing or redemption of any OAUG Rewards° points without notice to you, in order to assure compliance with the Terms outlined herein. In the case of fraud or abuse involving OAUG Rewards°, point credit, or reward use, OAUG and its partners have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, and all points accrued through OAUG Rewards° may be forfeited and the account closed.
6. OAUG may terminate OAUG Rewards° at any time. In such an event, OAUG shall give conspicuous notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the date that such termination becomes effective, during which time you may still accrue and redeem OAUG Rewards° points unless otherwise determined by OAUG in its sole discretion. Provided however, that you agree that OAUG shall not be required to give ninety (90) days notice if such termination is due to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, an adjudication of bankrupt, insolvency, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other discontinuance of business. All OAUG Rewards° points must be used prior to the effective date of termination. You should never rely upon the continued availability of OAUG Rewards° or any OAUG Rewards° points accumulated.
7. OAUG may at any time and without notice suspend or disable the OAUG Rewards° Web site for maintenance or upgrades. OAUG will not be responsible for your inability to redeem or accrue OAUG Rewards° points for the period that the Web site is disabled.
