TERMS & CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully and in their entirety before enrolling as a member of the Points4Travel or E-Mail Exclusive programs. Since it is important that you understand and agree to the Terms & Conditions before becoming a Member, you are required to indicate such by clicking on "I Agree" at the end of these Terms & Conditions.

Membership Eligibility

You must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for membership: you must be a human individual who is 18 years or older with internet access and an e-mail address and who does not hold any other Points4Travel membership.

Earn/Accrual of Points4Travel ("Points")

You must first sign up as a Member before you can earn and accrue Points.

As a Member, you will be entitled to earn Points by making qualified purchases online from participating Points4Travel merchants at the participating merchants’ web sites. In order to earn points, you must always start shopping from the "Earn Points" page in the Points4Travel website. If you leave the merchant's site before making a purchase and want to return to make a purchase, you must originate your return link to that merchant through the "Earn Points" page of the Points4Travel website in order to be eligible to earn points.A complete and current list of participating merchants can be found at "Earn Points - Participating Merchants" on the Points4Travel Website (http://www.points4travel.com). What constitutes a qualified purchase and the number of Points rewarded for that qualified purchase is determined solely by the participating merchant. Your compliance with the merchant’s qualification to earn Points is determined solely by the participating merchant. Points4Travel reserves the right to invalidate Points posted to your Account upon notification from the merchant that you did not meet the qualifications stated (such as in the case of returned merchandise for which points were received).

Once you have complied with the merchant’s qualifications to earn Points4Travel, the designated number of Points specified by that merchant will be transferred to your Points4Travel Member Account. It is your responsibility to regularly check your Account Statement to ensure that your account balance is accurate and all Points4Travel transfers have been made.

You may be taxed on your accrual or redemption of Points4Travel, depending on the number of Points you accrue or redeem and the applicable federal, state or local tax laws. Points4Travel will provide you with the notices and forms which the law requires us to provide, but you will be responsible for any and all tax liability which may arise out of your accrual or redemption of Points.

Accrued Points must be redeemed for a specific Travel Reward by December 31st of the year following the year in which they were earned. (Example: Points earned any time in 1999 expire at midnight on December 31, 2000 and must be redeemed with Points4Travel for a specific Travel Reward no later than midnight on December 31, 2000.)

You will have one year from the date of redemption to complete the travel offered in your specific Travel Reward. (Example: You Redeem 1,000 Points on October 1, 1999 to secure the Travel Reward entitled "Buy-One-Get-One-Free 4-Day Carnival Cruise". You must complete your 4-Day Carnival Cruise by October 1, 2000. You may advise Points4Travel of your desired travel date at the time of redemption, or you may advise your desired travel date later, providing travel is completed by the expiration date of one year from redemption.)

Redemption of Points and Use of Travel Reward

Accrued Points may be redeemed for one or more of the Travel Rewards offered at the time of redemption. You may redeem Points and submit a Reward "Travel Request" all at the same time, OR you may redeem Points to secure a specific Reward but submit the Reward "Travel Request" at a later time.

Points accrued in your Account may be redeemed for one or more of the Rewards found at "Travel Reward Choices" on the Points4Travel Website (http://www.points4travel.com). Travel Reward Choices are subject to change at any time. The number of Points required for redemption of each reward choice is subject to change at any time and will be determined by the number of Points shown under "Travel Reward Choices" at www.points4travel.com at the time a Redemption Request Form is correctly completed and accepted by Points4Travel.

To redeem your Points to secure a Travel Reward Choice, you must 1) know your Username and password to access the redemption process; and, 2) have enough valid accrued points as shown in your Account Statement to be entitled to your Choice; and, 3) request a reward redemption under "Redeem Points" at www.points4travel.com by completing the Redemption Request Form.

To submit a Reward "Travel Request", you must 1) have redeemed the required number of Points for the specific Reward Choice; and, 2) complete the "Travel Request" section of the Redemption Request Form in compliance with the Terms of your specific Reward; and, 3) be sure that travel is completed within one year of the date you redeemed your Points. If you do not know your desired travel date at the time you redeem your Points, your Redemption Form will be "banked" and can be retrieved from your Member Account at any time up until the Travel Reward expires. Once retrieved, you may complete the "Travel Request" section of the banked Redemption Form and submit it for travel processing.

No refund for any unused Points will be made. Points have no cash value and may be redeemed only for qualified Travel Reward Choice services specified at www.points4travel.com at the time of redemption. Points from multiple Accounts may not be combined for redemption. Points may not be sold, resold or transferred. Once redeemed, Points may not be exchanged, refunded or reinstated in any manner or for any reason. Once expired, Points may not be redeemed.

Travel Reward Choices

You may select your Reward at the time of Point redemption from the list under "Travel Reward Choices" at www.points4travel.com.

Points may be redeemed only by correctly completing an official Points4Travel Redemption Request Form, found at www.points4travel.com, for one or more of the Travel Reward Choices offered at the time of redemption. Points may not be redeemed directly with any supplier (hotel, airline, cruise line, car rental, attraction or amusement, etc).

Points4Travel’s relationship with the suppliers is through it’s parent company Vacation Ventures, Inc. which is registered as a Seller of Travel in the State of Florida, Registration No. 10077. Vacation Ventures, Inc. is fully and solely responsible for the offers made within the Points4Travel - Travel Reward Choices.

Points cannot be combined or used in conjunction with any other points programs, coupons, discounts, special offers or other Vacation Ventures premiums or programs. Under no circumstances will Travel Rewards be refunded or exchanged for Points or cash or any other Reward, service or offer.

Travel Reward Choices are subject to change at any time. The accrual of Points does not constitute a guarantee that certain Travel Reward Choices will be available for request at the time of redemption or that the number of Points required at the time of accrual will be the same as that required at the time of redemption. Points4Travel only guarantees the ability to request certain Travel Reward Choices for a specified number of Points based on the information found under "Travel Reward Choices" at www.points4travel.com on the day and time a correctly completed Redemption Request Form is accepted by Points4Travel. Points4Travel is under no obligation to provide a grace period during which accrued but non-redeemed points can be redeemed in order to qualify for a guarantee. Hotel choices found within certain "Travel Reward Choices" are subject to change at any time. Points4Travel only guarantees specific hotel choices based on the information found under "Travel Reward Choices" at www.points4travel.com on the day and time a request for a specific check-in date at a specific hotel ("Travel Request") under a redeemed Reward is submitted to and accepted by Points4Travel.

Each Travel Reward Choice has unique Terms specified within the description of the Reward and which must be complied with at the time of "Travel Request". Fun Getaway, all hotel and Carnival Cruise travel requests are accepted subject to Vacation Ventures’ contractual availability. Additionally, all Travel Rewards are issued subject to the Terms & Conditions specified by the suppliers (hotel, airline, cruise line, car rental company, attraction or amusement, membership, etc.). By utilizing the services of the suppliers, you agree that neither Points4Travel, Vacation Ventures, the merchants, nor any representatives of any of these entities, shall be liable for any accident, injury, property damage or personal loss to you or to those traveling with you in connection with any accommodations, transportation or other travel or amusement services resulting directly or indirectly from any occurrences or conditions beyond their control including, but not limited to, defects in vehicles, breakdown in equipment, strikes, acts of terrorism, theft, delay or cancellation of or changes in itinerary or schedules, weather conditions.
