Klosebuy Rewards Overview: As a Member of Klosebuy, You earn points ("Rewards") by joining the Program, favoring merchants, referring other Members and Businesses, and from merchant promotions. You must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the United States to become a Member.
How to Join: You may register to become a Klosebuy Member either through the Klosebuy Website or through the Klosebuy Mobile Apps. Once You have created Your account, You will earn points for becoming a Member, and continue to earn points through the Program. You will be able to access from Your My Points page Your point balance and view Your history of point rewards and redemptions.
Points Certificates contain a unique code and must be recorded to Your points balance before the expiration period or the value will expire. No change/currency will be given for any portion of a Points Certificate redemption. If lost or stolen, the code on Your Points Certificate may be used by anyone, and You are solely responsible for protecting it from unauthorized use. If the unique code for the Points Certificate is used in a manner that was not authorized by You, or is lost or stolen, Klosebuy and/or the Klosebuy merchants will not replace the Points Certificate.
Points have no cash value. Points are personal to You and are not transferrable.
Klosebuy reserves the right to offer additional Program benefits or decline to offer certain benefits at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice to You. This may include making bonus points and other promotional offers available to select Members based on purchase activity, geographic location, Program participation, or other information supplied by the Member. However, once a Points Certificate is issued, it will remain available for redemption until either the certificate expiration date or the Program expiration.
Membership in the Klosebuy Rewards Program and its benefits are offered at the discretion of Klosebuy, which reserves the right to terminate, change, limit, modify, or cancel any Program Terms, rules, regulations, benefits, or conditions of participation at any time. Klosebuy reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, cancel, add, or remove any or all portions of these Terms, any policy, FAQ, or guideline pertaining to the Klosebuy Rewards at any time.

Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revision, and You waive any right You have to receive special notice of such change. By continuing to use Klosebuy Rewards, You agree to the revised terms. These Terms are void where and to the extent prohibited by law.

For purposes of these Terms, the "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to the submitted email address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
Abuse of the Program, including failure to abide by these Terms, the sale or barter (or the attempted sale or barter) of Points Certificates, Points, or promotional offers, any misrepresentation of fact relating thereto, or other improper conduct as determined by Klosebuy in its sole judgment may result in cancellation of a Member's Rewards account and future disqualification from Program participation, forfeiture of all Points accrued, and cancellation of previously issued but unused Points Certificates. At Klosebuy’s sole discretion, Klosebuy may prosecute abuse of the Program to the fullest extent of the law.
You may cancel your Klosebuy membership at any time by discontinuing use of the Program. If You discontinue Your Klosebuy Rewards membership, Your accrued Points will be forfeited.
Points are not transferable and may not be combined among Members or conveyed by any means to anyone, including through a Member's estate, and may not pass to a Member's successors and assigns. Accrued Points do not constitute property of the Member. Accrued Points are not transferable by the Member upon death, in the disposition of a domestic relations matter, or otherwise.

You further agree through Your agreement to participate in the Program to release the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and other expenses (including, without limitation, costs of litigation, including attorneys’ fees) relating to Your participation in the Klosebuy Rewards Program, use of Points Certificates, or agreement to these Terms.
