- The sg.SHOP.com SG$6 Cashback Promotion
*New sg.SHOP.COM customers will receive SG$6 in sg.SHOP.COM Cash back, good for future use, when the first order we receive is a qualifying purchase of SG$30 or more. Purchases must be made from sg.SHOP.COM and meet all additional requirements. Simply enter your email address on the overlay window on sg.SHOP.COM, register for a sg.SHOP.COM account and make a qualifying purchase of SG$30 or more. We will credit your account with SG$6 sg.SHOP.COM Cash back once we get the order information back from the website partner stores. Cash back is awarded on the first purchase received by sg.SHOP.COM; which may not be the first order placed by the customer. To access and redeem awarded cash back, you’ll need to register for a sg.SHOP.COM account. - This offer is only available to first-time purchasers of SHOP.COM products who are not affiliated with an UnFranchise Owner/Shop Consultant before the time of purchase.
- When You register on SHOP.COM, you will be enrolled in the Cashback program. The Cashback program allows you to get 2% or greater cash back for your qualifying purchases. Cashback is calculated on the total amount of the qualifying purchase, excluding any and all fees, taxes, shipping costs, and after application of any coupons or codes. The cash you earn can be used as a payment option to pay for products available through the checkout on SHOP.COM. Additionally, you may request redemptions from your account, subject to then-current minimum redemption requirements (currently $10 USD in USA and $15 CAD in Canada, AUD$15 in Australia and MEX$200 in Mexico, $80 HKD in Hong Kong, $20 SGD in Singapore and $320 TWD in Taiwan).
- Users will be credited, subject to this Agreement and additional terms disclosed on the Participating Store's site, a percentage of the Net Purchases of qualifying products sold by third-parties that display the Cashback logo ( Participating Stores ). Net purchase is defined as the total amount paid for the product, minus tax, gift wrapping, shipping, promotional credits, returns, cancellations, and transaction fees (except where indicated otherwise). SHOP MA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which products will display the Cashback logo.
- Participating Stores are responsible for reporting qualifying purchases (and related returns, refunds and/or coupon use) to us. Participating Stores may not report your purchase to SHOP MA if they determine that your purchase did not qualify for Cashback because you did not comply with this Agreement or additional terms disclosed on the Participating Store's site, or if the Participating Store determines that you were not referred to the Participating Store by SHOP.COM. We may also disqualify reported purchases based on our own determination that you have not complied with this Agreement or the terms disclosed on the Participating Store's site.
- Qualifying purchases from Participating Stores will stay in pending status until cleared by the Participating Store, to account for returns, refunds, fraud, and other processing issues. After this point, if the purchase is eligible, it will be marked as "available" in your account and the associated Cashback rewards will be eligible for redemption. It is your responsibility to ensure that we properly post Cashback rewards to your account.
- SHOP MA is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance or withdrawal of, any Participating Store's participation in the Cashback program, or for any effect on accrual of Cashback rewards caused by such changes, discontinuance, or withdrawal. If a Participating Store fails to report a transaction to SHOP MA, or withholds payment to SHOP MA for any reason, SHOP MA reserves the right to cancel the Cashback award associated with that transaction. Cashback rewards awarded to Users are subject to adjustments for returns, cancellations, and other events. Such adjustments can be applied to your account at any time by SHOP MA in its sole discretion. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to withdraw from the Cashback program.
- You will not earn Cashback on purchases where (a) your browser is not configured to accept cookies; (b) you are not logged in on SHOP.COM; (c) the order is later cancelled or the goods or services are later returned; (d) the Participating Store does not report the purchase to us; or (e) you conduct "sham" transactions or otherwise collude with merchants), make any misrepresentation in connection with your participation in Cashback, maintain multiple accounts, or do not otherwise comply with these Terms.
- Cash back rewards have no monetary value until the associated purchases are approved and you make a proper redemption request. You may be taxed on your accrual of Cashback rewards, depending on the amount of Cashback rewards you accrue and the tax laws of federal, state, and local jurisdictions. In all instances, you will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your accrual or redemption of Cashback rewards.
- Please note that if the redemption is unsuccessful after two (2) consecutive times due to invalid bank account information, a bank charge of S$6.00 will be incurred.
- If your Cashback account is inactive, meaning you have not personally made a qualifying purchase during the past twelve (12) months, or if the Cashback program has ended, we will charge your Cashback account an inactivity fee of up to three Singapore Dollars and seventy five cents (SGD$ 3.75) per month, to recover the cost of maintaining your Cashback account, until you reactivate your Cashback account by personally making a qualifying purchase or until the balance of your account becomes zero. If the balance in your inactive Cashback account is or becomes zero, we may close the account permanently and cease to maintain your account records and program access. The inactivity fee will not cause your Cashback account balance to become negative and will not cause you to owe us money. Qualifying purchases made by friends you referred to the Cashback program do not constitute qualifying purchases for the purpose of keeping your Cashback account active. We will not provide further notice before charging the inactivity fee.
- SHOP.COM may, from time to time, offer additional Cashback, rewards, bonuses or other promotions. The terms and conditions of these additional offers will govern how they are earned and paid if they differ from the terms of this Agreement.
- Cashback is not available for orders placed via uk.shop.com and es.shop.com.
- In addition to the rules above, earning cashback through Market Singapore SHOP Local Program ("SHOP Local") requires Preferred Customers to use the SHOP.com virtual membership card via QR code payment mobile app ‘Connect by FlexM’ to make payment to Market Singapore SHOP Local’s Merchant/s.
- QR Code payment mobile app ‘Connect by FlexM’ is a partnership between Market Singapore and appointed partners. By participating in SHOP Local, you agree your Personal Information (which includes your identity and card information) and/or your transaction data (spend amount, merchant visit, date/time and purchase frequency patterns that may be included in such data) may be disclosed between Market Singapore and appointed partners for the purposes of process, award, and tracking cashback and the purpose embedded in our privacy policy.
- When making payment with QR Code payment mobile app ‘Connect by FlexM’, cashback percentage is calculated based on the actual amount charged. Cashback will not be awarded for transactions where payment is not made with SHOP.com virtual membership card via QR Code payment mobile app ‘Connect by FlexM’ or payment with non-participating SHOP Local Merchants.
