2. Program Enrollment
   
   
   1. Eligibility

      The ReadingRewards Program is only offered to (1) individual customers who are age 13 or older, and (2) non-profit organizations, charities, and foundations, that have registered for an account at our Website or on the ThriftBooks mobile application, and only those individuals and organizations are eligible to participate in the Program and receive its benefits. Customers who make purchases under a "Guest" account without creating a new registered account at the time of purchase are not eligible for Program benefits on such purchases. The Program is intended for individual personal use only and commercial use and/or reselling is strictly prohibited. Companies, organizations, foundations, resellers, wholesale buyers, associations, and other groups or individuals who use the Program for reselling or commercial purposes ("Ineligible Parties") are not eligible for the Program. Any use of the Program by Ineligible Parties or use of a single registered account for the purpose of accumulating Program benefits for combined, commercial, and/or reseller use will be considered a fraudulent act and a material breach of the Agreement. Use or attempted use of the Program by Ineligible Parties will also be grounds for immediate termination, without liability or obligation of ThriftBooks to refund any fees or payments, of any associated ThriftBooks account. Further, Ineligible Parties found to be participating in the Program will be liable to ThriftBooks for the value of any and all free books redeemed, and ThriftBooks hereby expressly reserves any and all other rights and remedies available by law or in equity.

   2. Registering for the Program

      If you are eligible for the Program, you may register for the Program by completing the registration process on the ThriftBooks mobile app or online at https://www.thriftbooks.com/ReadingRewards/, or by selecting the option to "Join" while making a purchase at our Website or on the ThriftBooks mobile app. We may require certain personal information from you to complete the registration, including but not limited to your name, username, password, email address, birthday, and products or services of interest. Any information we collect from you during Program registration will be governed by our Privacy Policy. By completing the Program registration, you warrant the information you have provided to us is current, complete, and accurate, and you are responsible for updating such personal information to the extent any changes occur in the future. When you register with the Program for the first time, we will credit your account with 100 Program Points (defined below).

   3. Unenrolling from the Program

      If at any point after registering for the Program you wish to unenroll from Program benefits, you may do so by clicking "Opt Out" on the ReadingRewards page of your member account. By unenrolling, by deleting your member account, or by withdrawing your consent for us to use any personal information required to administer your account, you will forfeit any unredeemed benefits you have earned, including earned and outstanding rewards, Program Points, and Free Book Rewards (as defined below). Subject to applicable law, we may retain any personal information you provided us during the time you were registered as a Program member.

3. Earning and Redeeming Reward Points

   The benefits available to you through the Program are based on the number of points that you earn ("Program Points"). To earn Program Points, you must be logged into your ThriftBooks account at the time of each purchase.

   1. Earning Points

      As a Program Participant, you may earn Program Points by making qualifying purchases at our Website, or through the ThriftBooks mobile app while logged into your account. You will earn Program Points per dollar spent on qualifying purchases according to the terms of your Benefit Level (as defined below). Program Points will be credited to your account within approximately 24 hours of a qualifying purchase, or at ThriftBooks’ discretion, within approximately 24 hours of ThriftBooks shipping your qualifying purchase. You must contact us via the e-mail below within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the date the purchase or other program activity took place to address any errors in crediting of points. We are not responsible for late notifications about purchases or other program activities not being credited to a Program account. Our good faith determination of the amount of Program Points earned under any purchase will be final and binding.

      1. Qualifying Purchases

         Purchases must be made through our Website or through the ThriftBooks mobile app under a registered account at the time of purchase in order to qualify for Program Points. Purchases that are made under a guest account without creating a registered account during the purchase process do not qualify for Program Points. Qualifying purchases do not include bulk and wholesale purchases, purchases made with benefits received under the Program, sales tax, shipping costs, and any other purchases we designate as non-qualifying, as provided below. Qualifying purchases of discounted or sale items will earn Program Points according to the paid price of the purchased item, not the original list price. We reserve the right to designate any purchase as a non-qualifying purchase by noting its status as a non-qualifying purchase in the online promotion or benefit details on our Website or in the ThriftBooks mobile app.

      2. Refunded Purchases

         If we issue you a refund for a purchase which was previously a qualifying purchase, we reserve the right to remove, or not credit you, any Program Points related to the returned purchase. The decision to remove or withhold Program Points will be made in our sole discretion. Refunds are governed by our return and exchange policy, which is available at https://www.thriftbooks.com/help/#topic-30.

      3. Video Game Purchases. Unless specifically provided in the terms of any special offer, Program Participants will receive a maximum of 300 Program Points, inclusive of points earned on promotions, per new video game purchase.

   2. Free Book Rewards

      For every 500 Program Points you earn, you will receive a credit for a free used book (a "Free Book Reward(s)"), with the value of the Free Book Reward based on your benefit level at the time you redeem the Free Book Reward. For Free Book Rewards redeemed at the Reader level, the Free Book Reward may be used to purchase any used book available on our Website or the ThriftBooks mobile app that has a value of $5.00 or less. For Free Book Rewards redeemed at the Bookworm level, the Free Book Reward may be used to purchase any book available on our Website or the ThriftBooks mobile app that has a value of $6.00 or less. For Free Book Rewards redeemed at the Literati or Literati Elite level, the Free Book Reward may be used to purchase any book available on our Website or the ThriftBooks mobile app that has a value of $7.00 or less. Free Book Rewards may not be used toward the purchase of any new book or a book with greater than the applicable Free Book Reward value. We reserve the right to change the value of our books at any time, without notice, regardless of whether a book was previously Free Book Reward-eligible. You will not earn Program Points for books purchased using Free Book Rewards. Free Book Rewards will be added to your account once you have earned the required number of Program Points and will expire 90 days from the date of issuance. You may only redeem one Free Book Reward per order. Any Free Book Reward that you have available at the time you add a Free Book Reward-eligible book to your cart will be automatically applied at checkout. The listed value of the free book will be applied toward calculating purchase minimums for any applicable free or discounted shipping offers.

      The value of a book purchased using a Free Book Reward will not be applied as a benefit to earn Program Points and may not be used in conjunction with any special reward, discount, or promotional offers unless explicitly noted in the special reward, discount, or promotional offer details. Your purchase of a book using a Free Book Reward will not qualify as a purchasing event for any special reward, discount, or promotional offer unless explicitly noted in the special reward, discount, or promotional offer details.

   3. Birthday Bonus Points

      As a birthday gift, once per year you will receive a credit of additional Program Points in an amount based on your benefit level (“Birthday Bonus Points”). At the Reader level you will be credited an additional 100 Program Points, at the Bookworm level you will be credited an additional 200 Program Points, and at the Literati and Literati Elite levels, you will receive a Free Book Reward. To be eligible to receive Birthday Bonus Points, you must have provided us with your birthday information in your Program account prior to your birthday month. Birthday Bonus Points will be added to your Program account during your birthday month and are subject to all Program Points, or, as applicable, Free Book Reward, terms and conditions.

   4. Double Points Days

      On double points day(s), you will be credited with double the Program Points (“Double Points Day(s)”) for your qualifying order based on your Benefit Level (as defined in Section 5 below). Reader level is not eligible for Double Points. At the Bookworm level, your account will be credited with one (1) Double Points Day during each Benefit Cycle (as defined in Section 5 below). At the Literati level, your account will be credited with two (2) Double Points Days during each Benefit Cycle. At the Literati Elite level, your account will be credited with three (3) Double Points Days during each Benefit Cycle. If your Benefit Level increases during any Benefit Cycle, you will be credited only the number of additional Double Points Days that is the difference between the Double Points Days at the prior Benefit Level and the Double Points Days at the new Benefit Level, and Double Points Days already redeemed during the Benefit Cycle will not be available to redeem during the Benefit Cycle.

      To use the Double Points Days for your level during a Benefit Cycle and earn double the Program Points for your qualifying order, you must activate the Double Points Day option by clicking the appropriate Double Points Day activation box at during checkout.

      To receive double the Program Points on Double Points Days, your order must be eligible to receive Program Points under the terms of this Agreement. A Double Points Day cannot be applied retroactively to an order once checkout is completed. Program Points earned on any Double Points Day will be added to your account’s Program Points and are subject to all Program Points terms and conditions. If a Double Points Day is not applied during a Benefit Cycle in which it is credited, the Double Points Day will automatically expire. A maximum of one (1) Double Points Day can be applied per qualifying order.

   5. Benefit Level-Up Free Book Reward. If you qualify for a new Benefit Level (as defined below), then you will receive one (1) Free Book Reward during the applicable Benefit Cycle, which will expire fourteen (14) days after being applied to your account.

   6. Program Points Expiration. Any Program Points accumulated by a Program Participant will automatically expire if the Program Participant has not made a qualifying purchase within 24 months following the qualifying purchase that last earned Program Points.

4. Additional Benefits and Offers

   We may provide additional benefits or offers to all or select Program Participants by notifying Program Participants via email, push notification for mobile app users, or by posting the details of such benefits or promotions on our Website or in the ThriftBooks mobile app. We reserve the right to base such benefits or offers on Program Points earned, Benefit Level reached, personal behaviour and preferences, or any other criteria in our sole discretion. If you are eligible for multiple ReadingRewards promotions by making a purchase during any promotional period, only the one promotion that results in the most bonus Program Points awarded to you will be applied to your order.

5. Benefit Levels

   Program Participants will qualify for one of Reader, Bookworm, Literati, or Literati Elite benefit levels based on the number of qualifying purchases made (“Benefit Level”) during the previous calendar year. The Benefit Level will apply from the day on which it is earned through December 31st of the following calendar year (the “Benefit Cycle”). A Program Participant will revert to the Reader Benefit Level at the end of each Benefit Cycle unless the Program Participant has made the requisite qualifying purchase(s) during the final calendar year of the Benefit Cycle to maintain a higher Benefit Level, in which case the higher Benefit Level will apply for a subsequent Benefit Cycle. Your Benefit Level will, subject to any unforeseen system outages or similar event, be automatically updated on your account within 24 hours of any event that gives rise to a change in Benefit Level. We reserve the right to modify the benefits offered at each Benefit Level at any time, without notice to you.
