1. Program Description

The Program is a customer loyalty rewards program operated by Par which permits registered members (individually a “Member” and collectively, “Members”) to earn points (“Points”) to redeem rewards, including, without limitation, discounts on the purchase of Par convenience store items, and to receive other promotions, discounts, and offers (collectively, “Rewards”) by making qualifying purchases at participating Par locations within the United States (“Qualifying Purchases”).  Par, in its sole discretion, determines which purchases will constitute Qualifying Purchases and whether such purchases are eligible for the Program, for earning Points, and/or redeemable for Rewards.

There is no fee associated with the Program. No entry fee, purchases, or proof of purchase are required to join and become a Member of or participate in the Program.  Points and Rewards may only be used by the Member they were issued or provided to, and cannot be gifted, purchased, sold, bartered, brokered or otherwise transferred. The Points are the property of Par.  Membership in the Program and Points and Rewards have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash or cash equivalent, gift certificates or gift cards, are purely promotional, and do not constitute the property of any Member. No portion of any payment for purchases qualifying for the Program or any Points or Rewards Qualifying Purchases constitute consideration paid for any of the foregoing. Par reserves the right to limit the redemption of specific Rewards and limit the number of Points and Rewards available.

2. Program Registration

Registration and participation in the Program is currently available to residents of the United States age sixteen (16) and older. Individuals who have not reached the age of majority may join the Program only with the permission of a parent or guardian.  Employees, officers, directors, agents and representatives of Par are eligible to join but may be excluded from certain promotions and activities.  Points and Rewards may only be used in the United States at participating Par locations. Par may change these eligibility requirements at any time, with or without notice, and reserves the right to cancel a Member’s membership or participation, or to refuse membership to any applicant for any reason, in Par’s sole discretion.

To fully register as a Member in the Program you must: (a) first download the nomnomrewards App from the Apple Store, Google Play Store or any other approved on-line stores or sites (the “App”); (b) provide your first and last name, a valid e-mail address, a valid phone number and a valid zip or postal code; at any participating Par location; (c) create an account password; and (ed) select to join the Program, completing the registration and accepting this Agreement. We may refuse to grant you, and you may not use, an e-mail that is being used by someone else, that may be construed as impersonating another person, that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person, that is offensive, or that we reject for any other reason in our sole discretion. You represent that all information you provide during registration and throughout your participation in the Program are true and accurate, and you agree to update such information, as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy. Par is not responsible for your inability to receive or redeem Points or Rewards or any other loss arising from your failure to provide and maintain accurate contact information.  Par shall have the right to modify this registration process and the manner of accessing and using the Program at any time.

3. Earning Points

Immediately upon registration in the Program, Members will receive an initial Reward, which will post to a Member’s account within 7 days of registration. For example, that initial Reward may be extra points.

Except for Non-Qualifying Purchases (defined below), following registration as a Member in the Program, Members will receive five (5) Points on every one (1) gallon and/or for each dollar ($1.00) spent by the Member on Qualifying Purchases for the Member’s personal use at any of the participating Par locations by scanning the barcode provided in the App or in any other manner permitted by Par.  Par may offer certain promotions that allow Members to earn more Points for certain Qualifying Purchases as advertised via the App, a website or any other promotional method used by Par.

Points are tracked at the time of a Member’s Qualifying Purchases and will only be credited to the Member’s account. Points are subject to expiration as set forth in this Agreement. Members may not share their membership, App login or Rewards Card with any other person, including with a Member’s spouse, relative, or any other household members. 

In certain cases, it may take twenty-four (24) hours or more for Points to be processed and credited to a Member’s account. Par is not responsible for, or liable to, any Member, person or entity, in any way, for any losses, costs or expenses incurred by a delay or error in crediting Points to a Member’s account.

4. Non-Qualifying Purchases

Members will not receive any Points for Non-Qualifying Purchases. “Non-Qualifying Purchases” means any purchases, transactions, activities, goods or services that Par, in its sole discretion, determines do not constitute Qualifying Purchases, and/or which are ineligible for or are excluded from the Program, Points or receiving Points.  As an example, the following goods, services, purchases and transactions are excluded from receiving or constituting Qualifying Purchases:

lottery purchases and payouts;

purchases of any goods or services that are not made in-store at participating Par locations;

the value of any discounts, promotions, or coupons;

purchases or transactions made using Points, Rewards or other promotional items in the Program;

purchases that Par or a particular Par location rules ineligible for the Program;

purchases excluded by law;

credits and merchandise credits; and

taxes and federal, state, local, and other governmental fees and charges on purchases.

Par has the right to make the final decision on whether any purchases constitute Qualifying Purchases or otherwise qualify for Points.  Par shall have the right, at any time, to change, update, modify, remove, or add any categories, goods or services that constitute Non-Qualifying Purchases.

5. Redeeming Rewards

Members may redeem Points received under the Program towards the issuance of Rewards. To redeem Points for Rewards, a Member may view available Points and Rewards and redeem them in the manner prescribed by Par, which may include via the App or a website.  A Member must have at least enough unredeemed and unexpired Points in the Member’s account (“Available Points”) to redeem a desired Reward or to redeem the minimum available Reward. Members may only redeem Available Points associated with the Member’s membership and account.  When Members accumulate various Point totals or thresholds, Par, in its sole discretion, may provide offers and promotions for the Member to use the Available Points, which may include, for example, towards free food or drink items, one-time purchase discounts or credits, and other sales promotions and incentives.  In any single transaction, only one Member account may be used to redeem Points for Rewards. Points accrued by a Member in any purchase or transaction may only be redeemed for Rewards in a separate, subsequent purchase or transaction and may not be applied to previous purchases.  The Reward must be presented and entered at the time of purchase.  Unless otherwise stated as part of a Reward’s terms, a Reward may only be used and applied to a single purchase or transaction, and if the amount of the purchase or transaction total is less than the value of the Reward being used, then any unused portion of the Reward is forfeited, cannot be applied to a subsequent purchase or transaction, and will not be returned or credited to the Member’s Available Points or account. Rewards can only be redeemed by the Member by logging into the Member account. Rewards cannot be redeemed through any third-party platforms, by any third party, or by using any other Member’s account, App or login. Each Reward redeemed by a Member will be subject to specific terms, including its availability for the purchase of certain goods or services, restrictions on its use, and its period of availability and expiration.  Please carefully review the specific details, terms, conditions, limitations, expirations and restrictions stated on or in connection with the Reward at the time it is redeemed or provided to You.  Rewards provided to Members have set terms and will expire in accordance with the terms stated for that Reward. Determinations regarding redemption of Points and the terms governing the use and expiration of Rewards is subject to Par’s sole discretion.

Once a member has earned sufficient Available Points, such Member will have the option to redeem points on items offered in the Rewards Catalog. If members redeem Points on a Fuel Reward in the Catalog, any discount may only be used in a one-time single transaction and will be limited to no more than twenty (20) gallons of fuel. Certain credit card and other payment vendors may impose payment limits on fuel purchases which may stop or prevent dispensing fuel or fuel purchases that exceed those limits, such as by disarming and stopping gas pumps once this threshold limit is reached. When Members redeem a Fuel Reward, the Fuel Reward may also be limited by these payment vendor purchase limits. Due to the technical capabilities at the pump, there may be a minimum charge per gallon of fuel purchased ranging from .010 to .109 dollars (i.e., 1 to 10.9 cents per gallon) regardless of redeemable fuel rewards savings available.

Once issued, Fuel Rewards will expire, and their expiration dates will vary.  Read each Fuel Reward carefully for specific details, terms, conditions, expiration dates, limitations and restrictions.

Points will be subtracted from the Member’s account immediately when a Reward is redeemed based on the total Points for the requested Reward. Points will be restored to a Member’s account in the event Par determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reward requested by that Member is unavailable, cannot be delivered, or an error occurred. Likewise, Points may be removed, reduced, or adjusted from a Member’s account in the event Par determines, in its sole discretion, that the Member received or possesses more Points or Rewards which the Member is not entitled, whether the fault of Par, the Member or a third party.  Par reserves the right to limit the redemption of specific Rewards and limit the number of Rewards available.

Attempts to redeem single use offers and verification codes for Rewards multiple times or through multiple users or Members, or Points that were incorrectly awarded or not earned constitutes fraud, are prohibited, and may result in the termination or suspension of a Member account and an adjustment or correction of Points or Rewards.

When a Member returns products or services, Points previously posted to the Member’s account for that purchase may be deducted from the Member’s Available Points balance.  If a Member’s Available Points balance is insufficient to cover a deduction, the Member’s Available Points balance may go into the negative.  Any Member whose Available Points balance is negative at any time may be subject to a suspension from all further activity or use of the Program, or a termination of the Member’s account and participation in the Program, in Par’s sole discretion.

6. Club Offers

Par may provide Members with additional ways to receive Rewards by enrolling in club offers, such as such as frequent buyer clubs, promotions, and other programs on particular transactions or Qualifying Purchases, (“Club Offers”). Club Offers may include, for example, opportunities to earn additional Points, birthday surprises and rewards, Member only discounts and rewards, and possible store contests and Member only events.  Club Offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions which will be provided to Members at the time of enrollment or acceptance of Club Offers, such as via the App or a website.  Read each Club Offer carefully for specific terms, conditions, details, limitations, expiration, and restrictions.

Par reserves the right to make Club Offers, Points and other promotional offers available to select Members based on purchase activity, geographic location, Program participation, and/or information supplied by the Member, or other factors.  Par reserves the right to add, withdraw, amend, or otherwise change these types of opportunities at any time at its sole discretion, with or without notice to Members.

7. Expiration of Points, Rewards and Club Offers; Inactive Accounts

When Points are redeemed for Rewards, the oldest Available Points are applied and used first. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, Available Points expire twelve (12) months following the month after the Available Points were first credited to a Member’s account.  Club Offers expire (12) calendar months after the date of enrollment for a Club Offer unless the additional terms and conditions of a Club Offer state otherwise, which may provide for an earlier or later expiration.  Rewards expire as set forth in the terms provided with the Reward.  If a Reward does not provide an expiration date, then the Reward will expire 13 calendars months following the date it was issued and applies to only gift cards issued as a reward.  Once Available Points expire or are applied to redeem a Reward, those Available Points will be removed from the Member’s account. Points will not be added back to a Member’s account or to the Member’s Available Points if the Member does not use a Reward before its expiration, or if a portion of a Reward remains unused following its application to a purchase or transaction.

Par reserves the right to automatically, and without notice, cancel a Member’s Program registration and Member account if the Member’s account remains inactive for a period of two (2) years or more.  Such inactivity includes, for example, no login, access or use of the Program or the App, or if the Member does not make a purchase at a participating Par location or acquire Points. You understand and agree that cancellation by Par of a Program account will result in the cancellation and loss of all Points, Available Points, Rewards, Club Offers and any progress towards any other benefits associated with the Member’s account and the inability to earn and/or redeem further Points, Rewards and Club Offers.

8. Program Restrictions

A Member may not transfer or assign the Member’s Program membership or account, or any Program benefits, including Points, Available Points, Rewards and Club Offers. Each Member may only have a single membership and account in the Program.  Only one Program membership will receive Points in any one transaction.  Points, Available Points, Rewards and Club Offers have no cash or cash equivalent value. Par reserves the right to approve, deny or revoke participation in the Program to any individual for any reason whatsoever on an immediate basis and without prior notice. If Par determines that a Member has registered more than one (1) Program account or provided any false or incorrect information in connection with the Program or the Member’s account, Par reserves the right to terminate the accounts immediately and without notice.

9. Right to Change/Modify/Cancel

Par may, at any time, cancel, modify, restrict, waive or terminate this Agreement, the Program or any of the Program’s terms, conditions or restrictions under this Agreement, including but not limited to the rules for earning Points, using or applying Available Points and redeeming Rewards, and enrolling in Club Offers and the expiration policies for Program membership and use, Points, Available Points, Rewards, and Club Offers (a “Program Change”).  Prior to any Program Change, Par will first provide the Members with prior notice of the Program Change, which notice may be provided electronically via e-mail, the App or Par’s website, and by providing a new or updated version of this Agreement containing the Program Change.  A Program Change may affect the Members’ ability to acquire, use or redeem any Points, Available Points, Rewards or Club Offers, whether or not already earned. A Member’s continued participation in the Program following such notice of the Program Change constitutes the Member’s acceptance of the Program Change. The most current version of this Agreement will be available on the App and online and, upon taking effect, will supersede all previous versions of this Agreement.  YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP OR USE IN THE PROGRAM AFTER A PROGRAM CHANGE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROGRAM CHANGE.

Par reserves the right to suspend or terminate, at Par’s sole discretion, immediately and without notice, any Member or Program account if Par determines, in Par’s sole discretion, that a Member has breached, violated or acted inconsistently with this Agreement or applicable law, for fraud or misuse of the Program or membership, or if the Member’s actions or conduct is harmful to Par’s interests, to another Member or to another Par customer.  Par reserves the right to deny future membership if Par deems a person’s conduct to violate this Agreement.

17. Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE NOTED BELOW, ANY DISPUTE INVOLVING YOU AND PAR OR ANY OF PAR’S AGENTS SHALL BE RESOLVED SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CONTAINS A JURY AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

This arbitration provision shall be interpreted broadly.

“Dispute” shall be interpreted broadly and include any claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, its negotiation, execution, acceptance, performance, termination, or breach, or your relationship with Par and its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, contractors, vendors, designees and their successors and assigns, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory.  Disputes also include: (a) the Program, the Payment Program, Points, Available Points, Rewards, Club Offers, or your registration or joining the Program or your termination or cancellation from the Program; (b) use of App or any websites in connection with the Program; (c) any products or services offered, sold, or distributed by Par in connection with the Program including, but not limited to, the advertising of or the sales practices for such products and services; and (d) claims that are the subject of a putative class action in which no class has been certified. Dispute shall also include all disputes that arose in connection with your enrollment in the Program and after the cancellation or termination of the Program or your membership in the Program, including, but not limited to, any claims that are the subject of a purported class action litigation.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE DISPUTES. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, LESS OR LIMITED DISCOVERY, AND LIMITED APPELLATE REVIEW. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD.

Either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding by sending a demand to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) that describes the basis for the claim. You may serve a copy of a demand on our registered agent as designated and provided under applicable law. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as appropriate, and as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, however we will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney’s fees) for claims totaling less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Par for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

YOU AND PAR AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT PURPORT TO ACT ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR ANY OTHER PERSON. 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. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the arbitration proceeding. Further, unless both you and Par agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court determines that public injunctive relief may not be waived and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, then the parties agree that any claim for public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims. If this specific paragraph is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution provision (except for the jury trial waiver) shall be null and void.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, ANY DISPUTE THAT FALLS WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL SCOPE AND AMOUNT OF AN APPROPRIATE SMALL CLAIMS COURT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS EXCLUSIVELY IN A COURT LOCATED IN JHARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND EACH PARTY CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURT. IN ADDITION, EITHER PARTY MAY ELECT TO BRING AN ACTION IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, WHEREVER LOCATED, TO SEEK TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE PROGRAM FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND PAR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM BROUGHT BY PAR OR YOU, AND ARE ALSO WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BE REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

This dispute resolution section shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. It shall survive any termination or cancellation of, or your participation in, the Program. Any amendments to this dispute resolution section shall be prospective only and shall not affect any pending arbitration proceeding.
