  1. Rewards

    1.  Earning Blimps. Blimps are earned by a User through joining a Campaign and performing the Qualifying Actions as defined in the Campaign and in accordance with the Campaign terms the Terms of Use. Users may not transfer Blimps to any other User.

    2. Qualifying Actions: Campaigns may appear on the App from time to time,   designating certain Qualifying Actions that would enable Users to earn Blimps and the terms for participation in a specific Campaign. Campaigns may ask Users to complete certain activities to earn Blimps.  Examples include, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following: (i) earn X Blimps when you make Y Qualifying Purchases with a Merchant, (2) make a Qualifying Purchase with a Merchant and receive X percent of the purchase price in Blimps, or (3) refer others to join the Program and receive X Blimps. Campaigns may be subject to individual rules, requirements, and/or conditions as specified in the App.  Campaigns may be time specific, having a certain termination date.  Users are responsible for checking the App for Campaign rules, restrictions, and termination dates.

    3. Qualifying Purchases:  Where a Campaign defines Qualifying Actions as including Qualifying Purchases, the following conditions and requirements apply in order to receive Blimps for Qualifying Purchases:

      1. Users must link at least one eligible debit or credit card (“Payment Card”) to the Account.  Please note that not all debit and credit cards are eligible to be linked to Accounts.  All determinations as to card eligibility are at the sole discretion of City.  In order to be eligible as a Payment Card, it must be issued by a U.S. financial institution.  In addition, you may not be able to link a debit or credit card to your Account if the card is already linked to certain other third-party card-linked offer programs.  Plaid Technologies, Inc. (“Plaid”) is used in the App to gather users’ data from financial institutions. By linking your Payment Card, you agree that Colu and Plaid may view transactions made by you through the Payment Card, and you agree that Plaid may act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution. You further agree to your personal and financial information being transferred, stored and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy [Plaid Privacy Policy], and by Colu in accordance with Colu’s Privacy Policy [Colu Privacy Policy]

      2. Blimps can only be earned for a Qualifying Purchase when the following conditions are satisfied: (i) a User makes a purchase at a Merchant that has been approved and designated by City in a Campaign in the App, during any time period defined by the City in the Campaign, and in accordance with the Campaign terms; (ii) such purchase appears in the records of the Payment Card linked to such User’s Account as provided to Colu by Plaid, a third party provider of payment account information; and (iii) such purchase is subject to the identification of the underlying transaction in the records and its verification by Colu, and (iv) such purchase is verified prior to a Campaign reaching any disclosed limit. expiration term or maximum participation level. City reserves the right to require additional evidence from User to confirm the Qualifying Purchase.  In the event sufficient evidence to support the Qualifying Purchase is not available or there is a good faith discrepancy regarding the eligibility of the Qualifying Purchase (e.g., multiple purchases made at the same time), Blimps may not be earned by the User for such purchase in the City’s discretion.

    4. Tracking: Earned Blimps will usually appear in a User’s Account within ten (10) business days from the completion of Qualifying Actions as defined in a Campaign.  Users will be able to track in the App the number of Blimps earned and awarded to their Account, as well the number of Blimps deducted from their Account through redemption.

    5. User Account Limit.  No more than $2,000 worth of promotional value, in the form of Blimps or otherwise, may be associated with the Account of any individual User on any given day.  This means that the promotional value that remains in and has been redeemed from the Account at the end of one day, combined, may not exceed $2,000.  Thus, if there are 1500 Blimps in a User Account and the User redeems 500 Blimps that day, the User could not receive more than 500 Blimps into the Account that day. City reserves the right to set and revise Account limits, without prior notice.

  1. Redemption

    1. Redeeming Merchants.  Users can pay for goods and services at Redeeming Merchants by using the App to access and redeem the promotional value they have in their Accounts.  Users may do this at Redeeming Merchants by requesting that the Redeeming Merchant redeem the User’s Blimps and apply them toward all or part of the purchase price of any goods or services offered by the Redeeming Merchant.  Users shall determine the amount of promotional value, in the form of Blimps, that will be redeemed by a Redeeming Merchant in connection with the purchase of the Redeeming Merchant’s goods or services; provided, however, that a User may not redeem Blimps in excess of the User Account Limit described above. City reserves the right to set and revise redemption limitations, without prior notice.  

    2. Refunds

      1. There will be no cash refunds.

      2. Should a Qualifying Purchase transaction that resulted in Blimps awarded to the User’s Account be canceled for any reason (e.g., based upon a return, chargeback, dispute, or other refund request for a Qualifying Purchase for which the User has already received the Blimps) the Blimps balance in such User’s Account may be reduced by the amount of the rewards received for the canceled transaction.  If the Account balance is insufficient to cover the cancellation amount, the Account will fall into a negative status and be credited as Blimps are earned and awarded in the future.

      3. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4(b)(iii), all redemptions of Blimps are final and irrevocable.  If a transaction that involved the redemption of Blimps is rescinded due to a technical error of a User (including, by way of illustration and not limitation, the inclusion of the incorrect Redeeming Merchant as part of such transaction), then the City shall credit the appropriate User’s Account with the number of Blimps redeemed by the Redeeming Merchant in such rescinded transaction, provided that such error is reported to Colu within two (2)  business days after such redemption.  If a transaction that involved the redemption of Blimps is rescinded for any other reason (including, by way of illustration and not limitation, by the return of purchased goods or the refund of the purchase price for services rendered), or if a User’s technical error is not reported to Colu within the time period set forth in the preceding sentence, then the terms of such rescission shall be agreed, and any disputes relating thereto shall be resolved, by the User and the Redeeming Merchant, and neither the City nor Colu shall be responsible for crediting or debiting either the User’s Account or the Merchant’s Accounts in connection with such rescission.

Merchants are independent contractors and are not agents or representatives of City. Redemption at a Redeeming Merchant may vary. City is not responsible for, and assumes no liability for, the actions or redemption responsibilities of a Redeeming Merchant. Nothing in the Program or in these Terms is intended to create any agency, partnership or joint venture between City and any Merchant. If any Merchant improperly denies any User any benefit they are entitled to under the Program, the liability of the Merchant, or of City is limited to the fair market value of the denied benefit as determined by City or Colu.

    2. CITY PROVIDES ANY AND ALL SERVICES THROUGH THE APP, INCLUDING THE PROGRAM “AS IS” AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN, ACCURACY, CAPABILITY, SUFFICIENCY, SUITABILITY, CAPACITY, COMPLETENESS OR AVAILABILITY.

In the event City is held liable for any act, error or omission related to the Program, your sole and exclusive remedy will be limited to reimbursement for services or products you paid for but did not receive under the Program, or the issuance of Blimps under the Program as compensation, at City’s election. You agree to waive any claim or action of any kind in any forum that is not commenced and served on City within two (2) years after the first occurrence of the kind of act, event, condition or omission upon which the claim or action is based.

  1. General Provisions

    1. Governing Law.  The laws of the state of Ohio and federal law govern these Terms and any aspect of your relationship with City under the Program. They govern without regard to any conflicts of laws principles that would cause the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

    2. Invalidity. If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. The failure of City to exercise any of its rights under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such rights in any other instance.
