II. LOOTZI CASH BACK
As a User of Lootzi.com, you
have the ability to earn money in the form of automatic rebates, which
are separate and apart from, and in addition to, any other discounts
available through Lootzi.com. ("Lootzi Cash Back"). This section
identifies the manner in which you may earn Lootzi Cash Back, when you
will be paid, what rights you have as a User to the Lootzi Cash Back you

the Lootzi Cash Back program.

Users to shop with Lootzi's participating merchants, and earn Lootzi
Cash Back. The Program is free to Users, and is conferred as a benefit
of registration with Lootzi. You are under no obligation to participate
or redeem your Lootzi Cash Back.
As a User, Lootzi
Cash Back is automatically earned when you make a qualifying online
purchase from a merchant participating in the Program (a "Participating
Merchant") on our Stores page. Some Participating Merchants may have
special requirements to earn Lootzi Cash Back. Click the red asterisk
next to their cash back offer for requirements and restrictions.
Further, not all merchants listed on our Stores page participate in the
Program. Participating Merchant's are identified by a corresponding
offer ( % or $ ) to the left of their store name.

made through links on the Lootzi.com website. You must have Internet
access and a valid working e-mail address to receive the privileges of
the Program. Further, participation in the Program is limited to
individuals that are 18 years of age or older.

supplied referral tools in order for Lootzi to track your referrals.
In
order to be linked to the referrer, a referral must enter Lootzi.com
from a link that was provided by the referrer. Lootzi will track the
referral and link them to the referrer. Lootzi will not guarantee a

may leave Lootzi.com and comes back to sign-up on another day. Lootzi
will do our best to continue to track these visitors so that they can be
claimed as your referral, but we do not guarantee they will be tracked.

track a new User to a referrer on a return visit.

Reward for Getting Referrals.
By participating in
the referral program, 25% of the Lootzi Cash Back earned by your
referrals will be placed into your Referral Cash Back balance. This
amount will be kept separate from your personal Lootzi Cash Back
earnings from your purchases. Your account will reflect the activity of
your referrals on your "My Referrals" page.

limit to how much can be cashed out from the Referral Cash Back balance
is $575.00 during a single calendar year (January 1 - December 31).
Your Referral Cash Back account may be larger than this limit, but will
only be able to cash out up to the $575.00 for that calendar year. Once
you have cashed out the $575.00 limit for the calendar year, no more
Lootzi Cash Back from your Referral Cash Back account will be available
to cash out. It will continue to accumulate, but will not be available
until January 1 of the next calendar year.
