Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

Overview: Our Loyalty Program provides a personalized reward experience for eligible consumers and includes loyalty rewards and offers, discounts, experiences, targeted promotions and general information (“
Reward Opportunities”) via email, mobile device notifications and other channels. The means by which you can earn promotional rewards offered by us may include (i) a digital “punch card” experience, whereby you purchase a specified number of qualifying products or services or participate in specified activities; (ii) opportunities to earn points that may be redeemed for rewards (“
Points”); and (iii) other similar experiences where eligible spending or activity will earn you rewards (collectively, “
Rewards”). . Our Loyalty Program may offer additional Opportunities to you, based on your account settings and account history. At any point in time, you can opt-out of receiving additional information regarding Reward Opportunities through your account settings within the Services or as otherwise set forth in these Terms.
At the time we make a Reward Opportunity available to you, we may provide Reward Opportunity specific terms (“
Reward Opportunity Terms”) which may include details related to (i) what actions may be required to earn Rewards; (ii) what Rewards are available to you if you complete the actions required by the Reward Opportunity; (iii) expiration details relating to either Reward Progress, or ability to redeem Rewards, as applicable; and (iv) how you can redeem your Rewards. Reward Opportunity Terms for our current Reward Opportunities may be viewable on our web or mobile interface, including where you locate your Rewards.
Reward Progress: To participate in our Loyalty Program, you must (i) link one or multiple payment cards with your account (“
Linked Cards”) and (ii) make eligible purchases (as described in the “Important Notes About Your Cards and Transactions” section below) with your Linked Cards to earn progress and rewards (“
Qualifying Purchases”). Qualifying Purchases will help you progress toward earning rewards from us, (“
Reward Progress”) and reaching the designated threshold (a “
Reward Threshold”) indicated in the applicable Reward Opportunity Terms. When you reach a Reward Threshold, you will have access to the Rewards that we offer which can be redeemed automatically to your Linked Card or by showing us the reward on your next visit to one of our participating locations, as applicable.
By participating in the Loyalty Program, you agree that your Reward Progress:
· Is not equivalent to cash, does not represent a claim on any cash or other property, and is not redeemable for cash;
· May be forfeited if you violate these Terms or any additional terms or conditions applicable to Reward Progress for a specific Reward Opportunity (e.g., if a Qualifying Action must occur within a certain timeframe), provided that any such terms will be communicated with the Reward Opportunity, as applicable;
· Is not transferrable to any third party; and
· Cannot be redeemed or used other than with Starbird, including Starbird's affiliates to the extent expressly permitted.
You are responsible for ensuring your Reward Progress earned from Qualifying Purchases are properly credited to your account. It may take up to 7 days after a Qualifying Action is made for your Reward Progress or Reward to be viewable via your account. You should email
support@thanx.com if it has been more than 7 days and the Reward Progress has not been applied to your account. You may be asked to provide additional, supporting information, as required, to facilitate a request to update your Reward Progress. Requests received after 21 days of a Qualifying Action may not be eligible to be credited to your account. We are not responsible for investigating any Reward or Reward Progress request if you have not notified us within 21 days of the Qualifying Action. Your Rewards can also be reversed if any of the items you purchased in connection with a Qualifying Action are subsequently returned. We may also, at our discretion, delay any Reward or Reward Progress in order to validate or verify a Qualifying Action. Any attempt to earn Rewards through the purchase and return of merchandise in connection with a Qualifying Action will be considered possible grounds for termination of your account.
Expiration: Rewards expiration will vary. You should review the Reward Opportunity Terms presented to you. Rewards will expire pursuant to the Reward Opportunity Terms or as otherwise set forth in the section of these Terms entitled Termination, Account Cancellation or Suspension. You can view and track your balance and available Rewards through your Account.

Important Notes About Your Cards and Transactions: By registering for our Loyalty Program and linking a payment card (“Linked Card”), you agree that the payment card network (e.g., AMEX, MasterCard or Visa) on which your payment card is issued may examine transactions (including returns) on your Linked Card to identify Qualifying Purchases and share transaction data with us and Thanx as set forth in the
Privacy Policy for the purposes of determining whether a transaction is a Qualifying Purchase, determining your Rewards Progress and when you have reached a Rewards Threshold, providing you with Rewards and notifying you about the status of your Qualifying Purchases, Rewards Progress, Rewards Thresholds and Rewards.

For example, corporate purchasing cards, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, government-administered prepaid cards (including EBT cards), insurance prepaid cards, Visa Buxx and other cards whose transactions are not processed through the payment network’s own system are not eligible.
In addition, not all of our locations may participate in our Loyalty Program and not all transactions with your Linked Card may be eligible for our Loyalty Program, including PIN-based purchases, payments made through third-party digital wallets or payment apps other than Apple Pay, and other transactions not processed through the payment network’s own system.

support@thanx.com. Our Loyalty Program will continue until terminated at our sole discretion.

Reasons for such a termination, modification or suspension include without limitation (1) you have violated or breached any provision of these Terms (or have acted in a manner which shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of these Terms), (2) we believe it is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Starbird Services or Loyalty Program to you is, or becomes, unlawful); or (3) for any other reason in our discretion upon our provision of notice to you. If your account is terminated for cause pursuant to this section, you may not later re-enroll in the Starbird Services.

Disputes, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO BE REPRESENTED BY A LAWYER IN ARBITRATION OR PROCEED WITHOUT ONE. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, other agreements on the Starbird Services, or the
Privacy Policy , or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be either determined by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California before one arbitrator or submitted to small claims court in San Francisco County, California. If the arbitrator finds this location to be unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected or arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.
No Class Actions: YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS OR ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ARBITRATION OR CLASS ACTION. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
Seeking Arbitration: If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“
Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to: 75 Oak Grove Street, San Francisco, CA, 94107. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written Notice to an email address you have previously provided to us, if available. We may also use any other means to contact you, including a message in your Account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by us, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“
Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from
www.jamsadr.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive Notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
Hearing: If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.
Award: In the event arbitration awards you damages of an amount at least $100 greater than our last documented settlement offer, we will pay your awarded damages or $2,500, whichever is greater.
Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we both agree that you or we may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or in other scenarios where injunctive relief is appropriate. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of this Agreement unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
Confidentiality: The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
Coordinated Proceedings: If 25 or more individuals initiate Notices of dispute with us raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or are coordinated for these individuals (“Coordinated Claims”), the claims shall proceed in arbitration in a coordinated proceeding. Counsel for the individuals and counsel for Starbird shall each select five cases to proceed first in arbitration in a bellwether proceeding (“Test Cases”). The remaining cases shall not be filed in arbitration until the first ten have been resolved. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the Test Cases, each side may select another five cases to proceed to arbitration for a second bellwether proceeding. This process may continue until the parties have determined an objective methodology to make an offer to resolve each and every outstanding claim. A court will have authority to enforce this clause and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing of arbitration demands against Starbird. Individuals bringing Coordinated Claims shall be responsible for up to $250 of their filing fees or the maximum permissible under the applicable arbitration rules. All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time will be tolled while the Coordinated Proceedings specified in this Section are pending. We will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
Governing Law and Rules: This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.
Severance of Arbitration Agreement. If the clauses concerning and describing the procedures and obligations related to Coordinated Claims and Test Case procedures is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining entire arbitration agreement and any clauses concerning, relating to, specifying or otherwise describing the arbitration agreement shall be severed from this Agreement. However, any duty of confidentiality whether or not such duty is connected with arbitration shall survive such severance.
