We reserve the right to update, modify or discontinue any features, functionality, content or other aspects of the Service, at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion. Blueboard does not guarantee that any particular Rewards or other benefits that may be offered through the Service from time to time will continue to be available throughout the Term.

4.1. Account Registration. To obtain access to the Service, users are required to obtain a login to the Service.

4.2. Account Security. A user’s account login is personal to such user and may not be shared or used by anyone else. Each user is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his or her user account password and must agree not to disclose such password to any other user or third party or let any third party use the Service on his or her behalf. You must contact us immediately if you suspect misuse of a user’s account or any security breach in the Service. Please be aware that you are responsible for any and all activity occurring through your users’ accounts, whether or not you actually authorized that activity.
5. Purchasing and Redeeming Rewards
5.1. Purchasing Rewards. You will arrange with Blueboard to purchase a certain Reward commitment (the “Reward Budget”) and to have Blueboard offer Rewards from that budget to your employees as set forth in the applicable SOW.
5.2. Redeeming Rewards. Your employees will be able to order and redeem Rewards awarded by you through their user accounts. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the quality and quantity of Rewards available to your employees will be no less than that available as of the date the applicable SOW is signed by both Parties (“SOW Effective Date”). Rewards are not redeemable for cash, unless required by law. Unauthorized or unlawful reproduction, resale, modification or trade of Rewards is prohibited.
5.3. Unavailability of Rewards. If a Reward becomes unavailable between ordering and processing, or if a Provider or venue refuses to honor any Reward, Blueboard will notify your employee by email and credit your employee’s account with the initial level for future redemption of Rewards through the Service.
5.4. Rights Reserved by Blueboard. Blueboard reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to not process or to cancel any orders placed for a Reward for which the price or availability was incorrectly posted through the Service as a result of an error. If this occurs, Blueboard will notify your employee by email and credit your employee’s account with the initial level for future redemption of Rewards through the Service. Blueboard may also refuse to process, or may cancel, a Reward, as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or to respond to cases of misrepresentation, fraud or known or potential violations of the law or this Agreement.
6. Disclaimer of Provider Liabilities
You acknowledge and agree that Blueboard and Providers are independent parties and Providers shall not be deemed personnel, subcontractors or subprocessors of Blueboard, nor are Providers in any way affiliated with Blueboard; and while Blueboard’s role is to curate and facilitate the offering and booking of Rewards, Blueboard generally does not have contracts in place with Providers. You further acknowledge and agree that Providers: (a) are the offerors of the Rewards, (b) are fully and solely responsible for all goods and services they provide to you and your employees, and (c) assume all liability for any and all injuries, illnesses, death, damages, claims, liabilities, losses and costs (“Provider Liabilities”) they may cause you or your employees to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether or not related to the use or redemption of a Reward. You hereby waive and release Blueboard and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any Provider Liabilities arising from or related to any acts, errors, breaches, misrepresentations, misconduct, non-performance or omissions of a Provider or the lack of availability of any Reward provided by a Provider. Descriptions of the products or services advertised through the Service are provided by the Providers and adapted by Blueboard. Such descriptions, content, products, services and prices relating to Rewards available through the Service may change at any time without notice. Once a Reward has been issued to an employee by you, Blueboard is not responsible and shall not have any liability for any performance, availability or quality claims associated with such Rewards except as expressly set forth in Section 5.
7. Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service and your state taxing authority may deem your offering of Rewards as the equivalent of taxable income to your employees if they redeem the Rewards. Further, you may be required to report those Rewards to the taxing authorities as additional compensation to your employees. You, and not Blueboard or any of the Providers, are responsible for determining whether you need to include the value of the Rewards as additional income paid to your employees when you prepare your taxes.
8. Cancellation and Termination
8.1. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the SOW Effective Date and you will continue to have access to the Service for the “Length of Program” specified in any active SOW unless this Agreement is terminated earlier as provided herein (the “Term”). The Term will be extended for additional one (1) year renewal periods (each a “Renewal Term”) if, at the expiration of the Length of Program or any such Renewal Term, you have a remaining Reward Budget balance that has not been issued as Rewards to your employees.
8.2. Termination; Service Suspension. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, and any SOW, upon written notice to the other if either Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or the applicable SOW and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is received by the breaching Party. In addition, without limiting the foregoing termination rights, we reserve the right, at any time and in our sole and absolute discretion, to temporarily suspend access to the Service (in whole or in part) for: (a) scheduled or unscheduled maintenance; (b) purposes of maintaining the security and/or integrity of Blueboard’s network, hardware or associated systems or those of its third party service providers; or (c) your failure to timely pay the Service Fees or to comply with your agreements with Blueboard (any such suspension described in subclauses (a), (b) or (c), a “Service Suspension”). We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to you and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Service following any Service Suspension. We will also use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Service as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. We will have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that you or any of your employees may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.
8.3. Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights granted to you hereunder will immediately terminate and you must cease all use of the Service. Except for termination due to Blueboard’s uncured breach, Blueboard shall have no obligation to refund any portion of the Reward Budget or Service Fees paid in advance unless expressly set forth in the applicable SOW. In the event of termination due to Blueboard’s uncured breach, Blueboard shall refund Customer the amount of any prepaid Reward Budget amounts unused as of the termination effective date and a proportionate amount of the Service Fees allocated to the refunded Reward Budget. For purposes of the foregoing, the Reward Budget is used when a Reward value or amount has been issued to an employee. After expiration or termination, your employees will continue to have access to their individual user accounts on the Blueboard Reward redemption portal and will have the ability to redeem any issued but unused Rewards until they have redeemed and used such Rewards.
9. Third-Party Linked Services and Content
The Service may contain features and functionalities linking you or providing you with certain functionality and access to third party content, including but not limited to Provider or other third-party websites, directories, servers, networks, systems, information and databases, software, applications, programs, products and/or services, and the Internet as a whole. When a third party’s website or service is linked to the Service, the user is interacting with the third party and not with us. Such linked websites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the contents of any linked website or any link contained within a linked website, or any changes or updates to such websites maintained by third parties. Posting of a link to another website does not constitute endorsement of that website (or any of the products, services or other materials offered through that website) by us or our licensors, regardless of whether or not the link is associated with any offering listed through the Service.

11.3. Data Processing. All data collected, received or stored by or on behalf of Blueboard in connection with the Service will be transferred to, processed and stored primarily in the United States, with the exception of information stored or accessed by subprocessors and Blueboard personnel as described below. Blueboard currently uses the third-party vendors, including without limitation Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), to run the Service and such vendors (or any successor vendors) may serve as ‘subprocessors’ of Blueboard as that term is defined in applicable law. Blueboard also engages personnel of various capacities worldwide, including in Argentina, Canada, Guatemala, Philippines, Ukraine and United States of America, which locations may change from time to time. By executing this Agreement, you consent to the transfer of, processing and storage of any such data as set forth in this Agreement, the Blueboard Subprocessor’s list and the Blueboard Privacy Policy.

ACCORDINGLY, BLUEBOARD IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR YOUR EMPLOYEES FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES’ ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OR YOUR EMPLOYEES’ INABILITY TO REDEEM ANY REWARDS.

● If Client objects to the use of the Subprocessor concerned, Blueboard shall have the right to cure the objection through one of the following options: (i) Blueboard will abort its plans to use the Subprocessor with regard to Client’s personal data; or (ii) Blueboard will take the corrective steps requested by Client in its objection (which remove Client’s objection) and proceed to use the Subprocessor with regard to Client’s personal data; or (iii)Blueboard may cease to provide or Client may agree not to use (temporarily or permanently) the particular aspect of the service that would involve use of the Subprocessor with regard to Client’s personal data.
● “Emergency Replacement” refers to a sudden replacement of a Subprocessor where such change is outside of Blueboard’s reasonable control (such as if the Subprocessor ceases business, abruptly discontinues service to Blueboard, or breaches its contractual duties owed to Blueboard). In such case, Blueboard will inform Client of the replacing of Subprocessor as soon as practical and the process to formally appoint such Subprocessor defined above shall be triggered.
