Users collect Jam Points in their User Account by performing social and other actions (“User Actions”) for Brands or Geojam or as a reward for participation in Platform or Brand programs. Brands and Geojam may set limits and maximums on the number of actions per User Account per period of time for receiving Jam Points. Users can acquire additional Jam Points directly from Geojam on the Platform at the price posted to use for Platform features that require Jam Points or for attaining a Reward on the Platform which requires more Jam Points than the amount presently in the User’s Geojam Account.
We may also in our discretion give Jam Points out of our inventory to Users, Brands, partners, Affiliates, team members or others for use on the Platform. The receipt or purchase of Jam Points shall not provide the recipient with rights of any kind other than for its intended use on the Platform in redemption of Rewards or for use in Services including not providing any rights with respect to Geojam or Brands or their respective revenues or assets, intellectual property or other financial, ownership, or legal rights. Jam Points which have been earned or purchased by a User is accessible by the User from their User Account on the Platform.

Jam Points may be subdivided and used in fractions. The value of Jam Points on the Platform at the time of the User Action or redemption is used to determine the amount of Jam Points Users receive for User Actions or the amount of Jam Points needed to attain Rewards. Once you acquire Jam Points, you may not transfer them to another individual or account. Any such sale, transfer, or exchange (or attempt to do so) is prohibited, is a violation of these Terms and may result in cancellation of such Jam Points or the termination of your User Account. You agree that you will only obtain Jam Points from us and through means provided by us through the Platform, and not from any third party unless expressly authorized.
The value of Jam Points on the Platform for User Actions or Reward Redemptions has been arbitrarily set at 1 cent USD per Jam Points. When purchasing Jam Points, the price will be posted at the time of sale. You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights in or to Jam Points. Any balance of Jam Points does not necessarily reflect any stored value and you agree that Jam Points have no monetary value and do not constitute currency or property of any type outside of the Platform. You understand and agree we may modify or discontinue Jam Points and Rewards at any time.
5.2 Using Jam Points and Accessing Rewards on The Platform

Users, including users in the same household, are limited to four (4) Jam Shop orders per 30 days rolling period. Brands may offer various Rewards that are not typical services provided by the Brands. Rewards may be one-off or unique prizes, without an established fair market value, which may not be otherwise available in the broad market, outside of the Geojam Platform or as a service by the Brand. A decision by a Brand to offer a Brand Reward, the quantity and the value is at the discretion of the Brand. Likewise, the decision to redeem Jam Points towards a Reward or on the Platform is at the discretion of the User. Jam Points received from one Brand or Geojam may be used on the Platform to redeem for Rewards offered by that Brand or for Rewards offered by other Brands or Geojam.
Brand Rewards are subject to availability and Brands reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and to discontinue Rewards without notice, even if a User has already placed an order in which case the User will be refunded. The inclusion of a Reward on the Platform at a particular time does not imply or warrant that such Reward will be available at all times.

12. DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
THE PLATFORM AND ALL SERVICES, REWARDS AND CONTENT THEREON ARE MADE AVAILABLE ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ANY GUARANTY OR ASSURANCE THE PLATFORM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR THAT ALL SERVICES, REWARDS, FEATURES, FUNCTIONS OR OPERATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR PERFORM AS DESCRIBED. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Geojam, Brands nor any Affiliates, suppliers or collaborators are responsible or liable for any malicious code, delays, inaccuracies, errors, or omissions arising out of your use of the Platform. You understand, acknowledge and agree that you are assuming the entire risk as to the quality, accuracy, performance, timeliness, adequacy, completeness, correctness, authenticity, security and validity of any and all Services, features and functions of the Platform.
While Geojam strives to keep the Platform operating 24/7/365, Geojam cannot guarantee continuous service and access to the Platform without interruption or delay. It also is expected that occasional planned outages will be required to maintain and enhance the Platform. These updates and releases are done in the interest of improving the Geojam Platform functionality for the Brand and experience for the User. Geojam will take reasonable commercial efforts to minimize any downtime. If the Platform is unreachable then you will not be able to access the Platform to perform actions or access or use your Jam Points on the Platform while the Platform is not available. You may also not have access to your Account due to a violation of the Terms resulting in an Earning, Transaction or Account Access Suspension or Account Termination. You indemnify Geojam against any losses associated with an inability to use or access the Platform based on such system unavailability or limitation of access or functionality.
In some cases, Geojam integrates directly with third parties, including but not limited to, online merchant platforms, mailing list platforms, and social media platforms (“Third Party APIs”). You acknowledge that Geojam has no control over the uptime and functionality made available through Third Party APIs and as such certain aspects of the platform could incur an outage outside of Geojam’s control, and certain aspects of the Platform’s functionality could be impacted by changes of features made available through Third Party APIs.
You understand that Geojam shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claims or damages which may be suffered by you or any third party, including, but not limited to, losses or damages of any and every nature, resulting from the inability to access the Internet, inability to access the Platform, or inability to transmit or receive information, caused by, or resulting from, delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions whether or not caused by the fault or negligence of Geojam.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THE PLATFORM, GEOJAM BRANDS OR, ANY AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, OPERATIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, ADVERTISERS, OR SUPPLIERS, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, OF ANY KIND, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR FROM THIS TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. These exclusions apply regardless of the theory of liability, or whether related to your use or inability to use the Platform, or otherwise. These exclusions apply even if either party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent allowed by law, the maximum liability of Geojam (which includes, collectively, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers and licensors) to you shall not exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00). This limitation of liability applies whether the claims are contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise. This limitation of liability for the Platform is in the aggregate and not per incident. Neither party may bring a claim under these Terms more than twelve (12) months after the event that creates the action or claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitations on damages and remedies. For that reason, some of the limitations described above may not apply to you.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN A WRITING BY GEOJAM OR BRANDS, REWARDS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. GEOJAM AND BRANDS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS TO ANY REWARDS CONTAINED ON THE PLATFORM. GEOJAM DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT REWARDS ON THE PLATFORM ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE. GEOJAM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN – OR TAKEN IN RELIANCE – ON MATERIAL OR INFORMATION, CONTAINED ON THE PLATFORM DESCRIBING REWARDS. WHILE GEOJAM ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PLATFORM SAFE, GEOJAM CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM OR OUR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD USE INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED SOFTWARE TO DETECT AND DISINFECT VIRUSES FROM ANY DOWNLOAD FROM THE PLATFORM. GEOJAM CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY DATA THAT YOU DISCLOSE ONLINE. YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET AND WILL NOT HOLD US RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY UNLESS IT IS DUE TO OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
GEOJAM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS AND WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY USE OF THE PLATFORM OR JAM POINTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (A) YOUR ERRORS SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED ADDRESSES; (B) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO APPLICATIONS; (D) ANY UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE PLATFORM. NOTHING IN THIS TERMS OF USE EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY, WHICH MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT JAM POINTS IS AN INTANGIBLE DIGITAL ASSET. JAM POINTS EXISTS ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED BY GEOJAM IN ITS LEDGER ON ITS COMPUTER NETWORK.
13. ADS AND MALWARE
We are always on the lookout for technical glitches that affect how the Platform works. When we find them on our end, we will make reasonable efforts to fix them. Unfortunately, your computer may cause some glitches that affect how you see the Platform — and that is totally beyond our control.
If you experience any unusual behavior, content or ads on the Platform, it may be the result of Malware on your computer. Malware — short for ‘Malicious Software’ — is a term used to broadly classify a form of software which is installed in a computer system with malicious intentions, usually without the owner’s knowledge or permission. Malware includes computer viruses, keyloggers, malicious active content, rogue programs and dialers, among others. While we continuously work closely with our partners to ensure that everything on the Platform is working properly, sometimes Malware programs on your personal computer or devices may interfere with your experience on the Platform and on other sites that you visit. If you do discover any Malware on your system, we suggest you speak with a qualified computer technician. If you even suspect that there is any kind of Malware on the Platform or servers, please use the Contact Us and notify us immediately.
14. INTERNATIONAL USE
Although the Platform may be accessible worldwide, we make no representation that materials thereon are lawful, appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States of America, and accessing them from territories where its content or your participation on the Platform is illegal is strictly prohibited. Those who choose to access the Platform from other locations outside the United States of America do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with all local laws including but not limited to tax and securities laws. Any offer for any Reward, Service, and/or information made in connection with the Platform is void where prohibited.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
This section only applies to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you are prohibited by law from entering into the indemnification obligation below, then you assume, to the extent permitted by law, all liability for all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expert witnesses’ fees) that are the stated subject matter of the indemnification obligation below.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Geojam, Brands, and any respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, Affiliates, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all actual or alleged third party claims, damages, awards, judgments, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, interest, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and costs (including, without limitation, court costs, costs of settlement and costs of pursuing indemnification and insurance), of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, or suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, whether in tort, contract or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), including, but not limited to, damages to property or personal injury, that are caused by, arise out of or are related to (a) your use or misuse of the Platform, Rewards, Content or Jam Points, (b) any Feedback you provide, (c) your violation of these Terms, and (d) your violation of the rights of another, including without limitation the terms of use of third party social media sites. You agree to promptly notify Geojam of any third-party Claims and cooperate with the Indemnified Parties in defending such Claims. You further agree that the Indemnified Parties shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written Terms of Use between you and Geojam.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.
Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure that allows us to resolve issues without the formality of going to court. If you live in the United States or another jurisdiction which allows you to agree to arbitration, you and Geojam agree to arbitrate all Disputes (defined below) regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, except that each party retains the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
You and Geojam shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with these Terms, including with respect to the formation, applicability, breach, termination, validity or enforceability thereof (a “Dispute”). If you and Geojam are unable to resolve a Dispute within ninety (90) days of notice of such Dispute being received by both parties, such Dispute shall be finally settled by Binding Arbitration as defined below.
Any Dispute not resolved within ninety (“90”) days as set forth above shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual Terms of Use of the parties. The number of arbitrators shall be one who shall be selected by Geojam. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be New York City. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of the Terms shall be the substantive laws of the State of New York, USA applicable to contracts made, executed and wholly performed in that State. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in arbitral proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties (“Binding Arbitration”). The parties undertake to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse insofar as such waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
Geojam will pay its arbitration costs as required by the Arbitration Rules and, in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. Each side shall pay his, her, or its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and/or litigation costs, in which case the arbitrator shall award fees or costs as required
