Rules and Regulations

The Curion Rewards Program Terms (USA)

Effective: September 1, 2023

Eligibility

To earn Curion Rewards, a consumer must have an active Curion consumer account and be a legal resident of one of the fifty (50) United States.

Enrollment

Beginning May 16, 2022, Curion consumers will be automatically enrolled into the Curion Rewards Program.

Qualifying Activities

A “qualifying activity” means participating in Curion activities, which are eligible for rewards points. Qualifying activities where an active reward is offered will accrue points.

Qualifying activities may be added, modified, or deleted at any time at Curion’s sole discretion. Qualifying activities as of May 16,2022 include the following:

• Disqualification from a study screener
• Completion of a profiling survey
• Initial sign up (double opt in and screener attempt required)
• Having a birthday
• Disqualifying from 5 study screeners during a one-month period, in increments of 5

5 Screener Disqualification Drawing Rules

During a calendar month, a consumer will earn five (5) points each time the consumer takes a screener and disqualifies. Each time the consumer disqualifies from five (5) screeners during that month, the consumer will earn one (1) additional point, plus one (1) automatic entry into a random drawing to win a Visa prepaid gift card in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00). There will be five (5) winners selected each month. Entries will be collected from the 1^st through the last day of the month, and winners will be selected within fifteen (15) days (about 2 weeks) of the end of the previous month.

Notification of Winners/Odds of Winning

Winners will be notified via phone or email by the end of the month following entries. Odds of winning are dependent on the number of entries. Winners will be selected by random drawing. Program rules are subject to change at any time.

Points Balance

Consumers may check their points balance in their Curion consumer portal. Points earned may not always be immediately posted to the account. Consumers are responsible for ensuring points from qualifying activities are correct. If it is believed that points from a qualifying activity were incorrectly calculated, the consumer must notify Curion within three (3) months of the qualifying activity by providing Name, Email address, PID (panelist ID), date of activity and a description of the request to consumermarketingteam@curioninsights.com. Curion maintains sole discretion to determine points awarded, and Curion has no liability for any delay or failure to correctly credit points to an account.

Redeeming Points

Consumers may redeem Curion Rewards points in two ways:

• In exchange for Visa prepaid gift cards
  If the required number of points for a cash reward are earned, the reward will be unlocked in your portal in the “Curion Earnings” section. A reward may be chosen in exchange for points, and the number of points for that reward will be deducted from the account.
• As a donation
  Points may be donated to Feeding America. Point donations will be displayed in aggregate at https://teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=9901, and will be updated by Curion one time per month. 100% of points donated will go to Feeding America. If you have chosen to donate the points as a named donor, your first name and last initial may be displayed or used in promotional material.

Curion Rewards Points Expiration

Curion Rewards Points do not expire. Once earned, they are available to view or access via the consumer portal.

Changes to The Curion Rewards Program

From time to time, Curion may offer new or different ways to earn and redeem points, including bonus campaigns or point accelerators. All changes or updates in points rewards are at Curion’s sole discretion, including, but not limited to offers, changes, terminations, or points associated with bonus campaigns and accelerators. Earning and redemption of points may be subject to additional terms (“additional terms”) disclosed at the time of the offer.

Curion has the discretion to invalidate or void points from an online services account, or to suspend or terminate an account (both now and in the future), if Curion believes that points have been improperly obtained, the program has been abused or a consumer has otherwise violated the terms. In these events, points would be forfeited, and the consumer would forfeit the right to earn points in the future. Curion has the sole discretion to determine compliance with these terms. Curion’s determination is final.

The Curion Rewards Program may change at any time, and updates or changes will be posted on the Curion website.  It is the responsibility of the Consumer to check the Curion website for any updates or changes to these Terms.

Curion reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, change, modify or discontinue the Curion Rewards Program, in whole or in part, including any terms, rules, features, benefits, rewards, conditions of participation, points accruing or accumulation ratio, the points redemption policy, the points expiration policy, or any other aspect of the program at any time, with or without advance notice, even though changes may affect points and rewards already in an account.

Curion may make changes to any element of the program to correct for typographical, printing, or other errors and you waive any rights relating to same. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting the revisions. At all times, you are solely responsible for remaining knowledgeable about and in compliance with these Terms.

Curion Rewards Points will expire on January 1^st and July 1^st of each year if no participation, or attempt at participation, is made in the prior six (6) months. Participation is defined as attempting to qualify for a study by completing or attempting to complete an online screener or completing or attempting to complete a quarterly profiling survey.

Curion Rewards Points cannot be resold or otherwise transferred. Curion Rewards Points cannot be combined or merged with Curion Rewards Points in another account. Unauthorized or fraudulent use, resale or distribution of Curion Rewards Points is prohibited. Curion reserves the right to cancel, revoke or otherwise prevent the issuance of Curion Rewards Points in cases of mistake and in any suspected case of unauthorized or fraudulent use. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if your account is not maintained with current information, it is a violation of these Terms, and you may forfeit any Curion Rewards Points in your account.

All redemptions of Curion Rewards Points are final, and Curion does not offer refunds for any Curion Rewards Points redeemed for the acquisition of Visa prepaid gift cards or donated to charity, except as required by applicable law. Curion Rewards Points are not redeemable or exchangeable for currency, monetary value, or convertible for other virtual currency from Curion or any other third party. Consumers are expressly prohibited from transferring, assigning, selling, gifting, exchanging, trading, converting, leasing, sublicensing, renting, or distributing Curion Rewards Points whether directly or through an intermediary. Curion Rewards Points are not property, and you have no right, title or interest in any Curion Rewards Points.

Release and Limitation of Liability. 

BY ENTERING THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM, EACH CONSUMER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS CURION, ITS PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS, ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION AGENCIES, CONSULTANTS, AND ANY OTHER COMPANIES PARTICIPATING IN THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM, ADMINISTRATION OR FULFILLMENT OF THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASEES”) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, LOSS, DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES) AND ACTIONS OF ANY KIND (AND AGREE TO WAIVE ANY SUCH CLAIMS, ETC.) RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE CONSUMER’S PARTICIPATION IN THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM) OR RESULTING FROM THE ACCEPTANCE OR USE OF ANY PREPAID GIFT CARD INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF PROPERTY, INVASION OF THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY.

FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY, RELEASEES WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE CURION REWARDS PROGRAM OR ANY PREPAID GIFT CARD AWARDED.

Disputes.

BINDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE: YOU AND CURION BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS THAT IN ANY WAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE TERMS OR FROM ANY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM CURION (OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH SERVICES), INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND CURION’S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (“DISPUTE(S)”), ONLY BY ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, ARBITRATION WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MEANS OF RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND CURION. YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CURION ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR IN FRONT OF A JURY, AND THAT YOU AND CURION ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO PROCEED WITH ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  Curion and Consumer both agree that:

• Notice of Dispute. If either you or Curion intends to arbitrate under these Terms, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the Dispute in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Curion should be sent either by mail to Curion, LLC (attn.: Legal Department), at 111 S Pfingsten Rd, Deerfield, IL 60015 or email at consumermarketingteam@curioninsights.com. Notice to you will be to your email address(es) and street address(es), if any, that Sponsor has in its records at the time the notice is sent. The notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days, either party may then file a claim for arbitration.

• Arbitration Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to these Terms. Except for small claims court cases, any and all Disputes will be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which will apply the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions). You can get additional information from the AAA (adr.org). These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Rules.

• Arbitration Location. Unless you and Sponsor agree otherwise, the arbitration must take place in the county of your primary residence or the state of Illinois.

• Arbitration Fees and Expenses. We will reimburse any filing fee that the AAA charges you for arbitration of the Dispute. If you provide us with signed written notice that you cannot pay the filing fee, we will pay the fee directly to the AAA. If the arbitration proceeds, we will also pay any administrative and arbitrator fees charged later.

• If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the court will reform the agreement to the extent necessary to cure the unenforceable part(s), and the parties will arbitrate their Dispute(s) without reference to or reliance upon the unenforceable part(s). However, if for any reason the Class Action Waiver set forth below cannot be enforced as to some or all of the Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that Dispute or portion thereof, but the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will be binding and enforceable. The parties do not agree to class arbitration or to the arbitration of any claims brought on behalf of others.

• CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THESE TERMS DO NOT ALLOW CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS, EVEN IF THE AAA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. ARBITRATION OR COURT PROCEEDINGS HELD UNDER THESE TERMS CANNOT BE BROUGHT, MAINTAINED OR RESOLVED ON BEHALF OF OR BY A CLASS, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. IN ADDITION, INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS CANNOT BE COMBINED WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL OF THE PARTIES. ANY QUESTION REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE DECIDED BY A COURT AND NOT THE ARBITRATOR.

• JURY TRIAL WAIVER. IF, FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND CURION AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND CURION UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Governing Law.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Terms, or the rights and obligations of the Consumer and Curion in connection with the Curion Rewards Program, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois.
