1. About Cash in Your Account
You can earn Cash which is posted to your Account as described in the other sections of these Terms of Use, and which is subject to your compliance with all Terms of Use. Your Account, including any Cash or other credits in your Account, is non-transferable and non-assignable, and may not be pooled, lent, sold, or exchanged. We may change rules about requesting payments equal to the Cash balance or redeeming other credits in your Account at any time and such changed rules will apply to Cash already posted to your Account as well as to Cash to be posted in the future. You may request payment equal to the Cash balance of your Account (also referred to as “redeeming” Cash) only as permitted by these Terms of Use. Redeeming Cash and receipt of any corresponding payment by you is contingent upon your: (1) full compliance with these Terms of Use generally; (2) receipt of your request for us to convert the Cash in your Account to a payment, and (3) compliance with the specific rules or terms then in effect for the particular redemption offer. Further, the Cash in your Account may be cancelled at any time pursuant to these Terms of Use and represents (1) only a method by which we track your Cash Earning Activities and (2) a contingent liability by us, unless and until final payment occurs on the corresponding payment instrument we deliver to you pursuant to these Terms of Use.

NO REDEMPTION OF CASH UNTIL YOU HAVE AT LEAST THIRTY DOLLARS POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT ($30.00) (THE “MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT”). THE TERMS “CASH,” “DOLLARS,” AND SIMILAR TERMS ARE USED INTERCHANGEABLY IN THIS DOCUMENT AND THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE PLATFORMS, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CASH POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT IS UNEARNED AND A CONTINGENT OBLIGATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW AND OTHERWISE HEREIN. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO REDEEM THE “CASH” IN YOUR ACCOUNT, AND WE HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION TO PAY YOU WHATSOEVER, UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU HAVE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT AT LEAST THE MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT IN YOUR ACCOUNT AND OTHERWISE COMPLIED WITH THESE TERMS OF USE. UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU HAVE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT THE MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT AND OTHERWISE COMPLIED WITH THE THESE TERMS OF USE, SUCH “CASH” IS DEEMED A CONTINGENT LIABILITY, WHICH IS ENTIRELY CONTINGENT UPON: (1) YOUR ACCRUAL OF AT LEAST THE MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT IN YOUR ACCOUNT, AND (2) YOUR FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE. UNLESS AND UNTIL YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE REACHES THE MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT AND YOU HAVE OTHERWISE COMPLIED WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE “CASH” IN YOUR ACCOUNT HAS NO CASH VALUE AND MAY BE CANCELLED AT ANYTIME PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS OF USE.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH AN INITIAL CASH BALANCE OF FIVE DOLLARS ($5.00), AND THEN ANOTHER TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) OF CASH ARE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE, FOR A TOTAL OF $15.00 IN CASH, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT, AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY AMOUNT. IN THIS EXAMPLE YOU WOULD HAVE TO EARN YET ANOTHER FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15.00) IN CASH, FOR A TOTAL OF THIRTY DOLLARS ($30.00) IN CASH POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE, BEFORE YOU WOULD BE ENTITLED TO ANY PAYMENT.
3. Requesting Payment and Processing Fee
You can request payment of the Cash in your Account, subject to the remainder of these Terms of Use, by clicking the “Request Payment” link under the “My Account” tab. As noted above, you may not request payment and the Cash in your Account has no actual cash value until at least the Minimum Payment Amount is posted to your Account and the conditions herein are otherwise satisfied. A description of each payment request method will be displayed, and if the Member’s Account balance is large enough, a link to request that method of payment will also be displayed. Currently, the Minimum Payment Amount required to request a Check payment is $30.00; however, this amount may change. Members may have only one pending payment request at a time. THERE IS A THREE DOLLAR ($3.00) PAYMENT PROCESSING FEE THAT WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT FOR EACH CHECK PAYMENT YOU REQUEST.
4. Tax Matters
You are responsible for any and all tax liability arising from or associated with your use of any Service Platform, including liability arising from your accrual of Cash or your redemption of Cash for cash or other items. We will require you to provide necessary tax information about yourself prior to receiving payment when requesting payment greater than $300 at one time or cumulatively during a calendar year. InboxDollars® will file a 1099 tax form for any Member who earns $600 or greater in one calendar year from our company, InboxDollars, Inc.
5. Payment Schedule
Requests to redeem Cash and send payments are processed on the first Wednesday that occurs at least 8 days after the payment was requested. This means payment requests will be processed between 10 and 16 days after request. After requesting payment, Members can view their scheduled payment processing date by clicking the “My Profile” link under the “My Account” tab.
Payments are processed on Wednesday of every week and generally mailed via USPS within 3 days, depending on holidays and how many payment requests there are for that week.
All payments are inspected immediately prior to processing. Payment requests belonging to Members who have become Inactive (as described above) or who have duplicate Accounts will not be processed and will be removed.
6. Returns and Reversals
Any time you return a purchased item for which you received Cash in your Account, and any time you void, cancel, rescind, or reverse any Cash Shopping transaction for which you received Cash in your Account, InboxDollars® may subtract a corresponding amount of Cash from your Account. Similarly, if any Advertiser notifies us that it is reversing its transaction with you for any reason on any of our Cash generating activities, we will subtract a corresponding amount of Cash from your Account. A pattern of completing Offers followed by reversals is considered fraudulent activity, and may result in the termination of your InboxDollars® account and cancellation of your Cash or other items posted to your Account and referrals.
7. Fraud Prevention
InboxDollars® reserves the right to request further information from Members to ensure they have not fraudulently completed Offers. This information may include, but is not limited to, a copy of the credit card statement that was used to complete the Offers, in order to ensure a stolen credit card was not used.
InboxDollars® reserves the right to place any payment request on hold, for any reason, until the requested information has been provided by the Member. Ample notice will be given to the Member to provide this information. If the Member does not provide this information before their payment is scheduled to be processed, their Account will be suspended until they do so. All decisions by InboxDollars® regarding fraud or suspected fraud are binding and final.
