REWARDS POINTS PROGRAM

The GONGER NATION™ REWARDS PROGRAM (“Rewards Program”) is a program and GONGSHOW® service designed by Gongshow to reward its customers for their loyalty and participation. The following information will additionally govern your participation in any and all Rewards Program offers:

  1. Eligibility: You will be automatically entered into the GONGSHOW® Rewards Program and be eligible to receive reward points (“Reward Points”) when you create an account with Gongshow and participate according the guidelines and criteria for the program. You may opt-out of participating in the Rewards Program at any time. Depending on the jurisdiction where you reside, You may not be eligible to participate in the Rewards Program.
  2. Privacy: By participating in the Rewards Program, You agree to Gongshow’s collection and use of your personal information/data and acknowledge that You have read and accepted Gongshow’s Privacy Policy
  3. Additional Loyalty Discount Offers: Provided that your email settings do not prevent You from participating in the Rewards Program, You will also be entitled to receive additional, exclusive Reward Points offerings and offers available only to the Rewards Program members. With every purchase, your status in the Rewards Program grows, increasing your pre-set rewards discounts. Moreover, this will also increase and improve your exclusive additional Rewards Points offers.
  4. Review Guidelines: One of the ways for You to earn Rewards Points is to submit product reviews about GONGSHOW® products. To ensure that reviews meet Gongshow’s eligibility criteria, all fields must be completed, and an honest paragraph about the product must be included. Gongshow cannot accept duplicate reviews, derogatory reviews about its products, or reviews which include your sensitive or special categories of personal information/data as set out in our Privacy Policy. If you have critical, constructive feedback about any GONGSHOW® products please contact Gongshow’s Customer Service Team. After submitting a product review under the Rewards Program, Gongshow will assess the review and allocate Rewards Points to your account. Rewards Points will only be received if the review meets the established criteria.
  5. Social Media Guidelines: You can also earn Rewards Points through social media. For instance, two (2) Rewards Points will be rewarded each time You “share” one of Gongshow’s products on its website via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or Pinterest. That means You can earn up to eight (8) Rewards Points per product by “sharing” the same product on all four (4) social media platforms. You can in relation to your account “share” a maximum of five (5) products per day (i.e. You can earn up to forty (40) Rewards Points a day if You “share” five (5) products on all four (4) social media platforms).
  6. Changes to Rewards Program Status: The specific ways You can earn Rewards Points are subject to Gongshow’s right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, cancel or otherwise revoke Rewards Points received through social media or the Website. Your specific entitlements may be revoked if You violate any law by your participation in the Rewards Program or by your acceptance/redemption of Rewards Points, or if You violate any of the guidelines and conditions for participating in the Rewards Program or receiving the benefit of Rewards Points. Without intending to limit the grounds upon which your entitlements may be revoked, You may not use robotic, automatic, macro, programmed (or the like) entry methods to artificially increase the Reward Points associated with your account. You also may lose your entitlements if You act in a non-sportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person. More general non-compliance with the conditions for having an account with Gongshow and other terms and conditions set out in these Terms of Use can be further grounds for revoking your entitlements under the Rewards Program and to the benefits of Rewards Points.
  7. Release and Right to Cancel Program: Consistent with the general limitation of liability and indemnity provisions of these Terms of Use, You agree that by participating in the Rewards Program and/or accepting to receive and redeem Rewards Points, You will release and hold harmless Gongshow, its licensees, affiliates, subsidiaries, merchant partners, advertising and promotion agencies, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents from any and all liability for any injuries, loss, or damage of any kind to person, including death, and property, arising in whole or in part, directly or indirectly from the administration of the Rewards Program, Rewards Points and related activity. You also agree that Gongshow reserves the right to cancel the Rewards Program at any time in its sole discretion without having to provide any justification or advance notice for doing so. Gongshow will advise You of any changes to your Rewards Points or Reward Program entitlements as circumstances dictate or arise.
  8. Resolving Disputes: In the event of a dispute as to entries submitted by You and other participants using the same email account, You will be the authorized account subscriber if you are a natural person who is assigned the email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization, which is responsible for assigning email addresses or the domain associated with the submitted email address. You as the authorized subscriber of the email account at the actual time of enrollment will be deemed to control the account and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions governing the Rewards Program and access to the benefits of Rewards Points. The Gongshow reserves the right to prosecute any fraudulent activities to the full extent of the law.
