4 . General Terms of Access to the Service.
4.1 GLOW LOYALTY Service Overview. GLOW LOYALTY provides You, as a Merchant, with certain hosted software to create a customer loyalty and incentive program. GLOW LOYALTY allows the Merchant to grant Customers an Award of Points based on conditions and events specified by the Merchant. Customers may then redeem Points for Rewards that the Merchant has offers. The Service is fully customizable to Your individual specifications which allows You to dictate the amount of Points Awarded for any condition or event that You create. Additionally, the Rewards offered and the amount of Points required to exchange for each Reward is fully customizable by You. You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted with Customers, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, subscriptions, returns, warranties, shipping, handling, transportation, storage, insurance, fees, applicable taxes, text messaging (if applicable), title and licenses, all of which must be in accordance with applicable law.
4.2 Customer Loyalty and Incentive Program. GLOW LOYALTY is a customer loyalty and incentive program and is not a cash-back app. GLOW LOYALTY does not provide any incentive in which Customers can receive money back as a result of making purchases. GLOW LOYALTY functions exclusively with the Award of Points that can be redeemed in exchange for Rewards in the form of discounted products or any other customized Reward that the Merchant offers.
4.3 Points. The minimum Award of Points allowable by the Service is one (1) Point. It is not possible to customize Glow Loyalty to offer fractions of a Point. The term Point is the default setting used by the Service; however, the term Point is fully customizable by the Merchant and may be changed at any time to any other term that the Merchant so chooses. The Merchant’s alteration of the term Point will not serve to alter its meaning within these Terms. The default setting for the value of one (1) Point is one (1) of the specific currency that is set for Merchant’s account. The default value of one (1) of said currency is fully customizable and may be altered by the Merchant to any amount.
4.3.1 Custom Actions. The Merchant has the option to create custom actions that, upon completion by a Customer, will Award Points to that Customer in the amount specified by the Merchant. Custom actions require the Merchant to review the action performed by a Customer before the Customer receives Points to ensure that the action was properly completed. Points will be Awarded to the Customer upon verification of the custom action by the Merchant.
4.3.2 Customer Point Reset. The Merchant has the option to select a timeframe at which inactive Customers’ Points will reset to 0. Because GLOW LOYALTY Plans are provided with specific limits on the number of Active Members permitted, the option for resetting Customers’ Points to 0 prevents Customers who are not interacting with the Merchant in a substantive way from being considered in the total Active Members under the Merchant’s Plan. The default setting for GLOW LOYALTY is not to reset Customers’ Points to 0. If the Merchant selects the option to reset Customers’ Points to 0, the Merchant can select from six (6) months, twelve (12) months, or twenty fours (24) months. Customers are considered inactive for purposes of the amount of time elapsed before their Points reset if they do not make a purchase, use Points, or save or update their details with GLOW LOYALTY. Any one of said actions will reset Customers’ elapsed time and the count will begin from the moment that action is completed. Customer Login or a Customer saving profile details in Shopify do not reset the amount of time elapsed before Points are reset to 0.
4.4 Rewards. The Merchant has the ability to customize the Rewards offered to Customers in the form of discounts on current products sold on the Merchant’s Shopify online store. Discounts may be offered in the form of percentages, specific dollar amounts, or free orders automatically generated and shipped to Customers. Additionally, the Merchant has the option to create any Reward to offer to Customers by using the Reward customization tool in the Service.
4.5 Currencies. GLOW LOYALTY has the capability to work with different currencies. The default currency selected for GLOW LOYALTY is the currency that is set as the primary currency for the Merchant’s Shopify account. GLOW LOYALTY may alter the default currency, upon request from the Merchant, to any other currency that is supported by a Merchant’s Shopify account. GLOW LOYALTY may only support one (1) currency at a time.
4.6 Future Purchases. An Award of Points received by Customers may only be applied toward Rewards on future purchases and may not be redeemed for the purchase for which the Customer receives the Points.
4.7 Service Customizability and Merchant Errors. The Service allows significant customizability, including, but not limited to, the number of Points Awarded to Customers, the actions or events that generate Points for Customers, the Rewards that are made available to Customers, and the number of Points required to exchange for each specific Reward. The Merchant acknowledges that the level of customizability is provided in order to give the Merchant the greatest ability to customize incentives offered to Customers. Therefore, the Merchant agrees to hold GLOW LOYALTY harmless for any damages incurred by the Merchant in the event that the Merchant makes any error while customizing the Service.
4.8 Customer Enrollment in Glow Loyalty Incentive Program. Once You have completed the Registration Process for GLOW LOYALTY, Customers will be enrolled in the program when they login to Your website. All Customers newly enrolled in the GLOW LOYALTY Incentive Program begin with 0 Points with the exception that the Merchant can request that a Customer’s previous Points be imported into the Customer’s new account. Because Customers with new accounts begin with 0 Points, unless otherwise requested by the Merchant, Customers with new accounts will not be considered Active Members until they receive Points.
4.9 GLOW LOYALTY Popup and Prompt. When You complete the Registration Process, Your Shopify store will display a GLOW LOYALTY popup (“Widget”). You may customize the location of the Widget on Your website. Clicking on the Widget will display the details of Your particular GLOW LOYALTY incentive program with a prompt to register for Your Shopify online store.
4.10 Maximum Active Members. Each Plan provides a limit on the number of Active Members that are permitted under that specific Plan. GLOW LOYALTY sends emails and other notifications to the Merchant as the number of Active Members approaches the maximum number permitted. If the maximum number of Active Members is reached, the GLOW LOYALTY Widget will be disabled and the Service may not be viewed on the Merchant’s website until the Merchant Upgrades to a Plan that allows for additional Active Members or the number of Active Members decreases below the maximum limit. The number of Active Members may be manually decreased by the Merchant by removing Active Members or automatically as Active Members reach the maximum amount of time selected by the Merchant for inactivity.
4.11 Customer Referral Program. GLOW LOYALTY offers a customizable option to Award Points for the referral of new Customers to the Merchant’s website. The Merchant may customize the number of Points Awarded, whether the referring Customer and/or the new Customer receive Points, and whether the Points are Awarded when the new Customer registers on the Merchant’s website or upon the completion of the first purchase by the new Customer.
4.12 Limited License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment of the applicable fees, You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license during the Term (as defined in Section 3.15 - Term) to use the Service subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in these Terms and any other restrictions stipulated to You in the Agreement or by Us in writing. Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, You may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the Service; (b) make modifications to the Service, except as expressly permitted or directed by GLOW LOYALTY; or (c) interfere with or circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control mechanism. For the avoidance of doubt, if You are prohibited under applicable law from using the Service, You may not use it.

4.14 Merchant Must Have Internet Access. DSL, cable, or another high-speed Internet connection is required for proper transmission of the Service. You are responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections and all software and equipment that may be necessary to connect Your network to the Service, including, but not limited to, "browser" software that supports protocols utilized by the Service. GLOW LOYALTY assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any computer networks, connections, or systems not owned or operated by GLOW LOYALTY.

You shall provide GLOW LOYALTY with accurate, current, and complete information on your legal business name, address, email address, and phone number, and, throughout your subscription, You shall maintain and promptly update this information if it should change. You shall provide verification of the information provided, both initially and with any update to that information. Your failure to provide accurate and updated contact information and to verify that information may result in a freeze placed on the Your account by GLOW LOYALTY. In the event that GLOW LOYALTY must impose a freeze on Your account under the circumstances stated in this provision, GLOW LOYALTY shall not be held liable for any resulting damages to You or any of Your Customers resulting from the Your account being frozen.
4.16 Merchants: Passwords, Access, and Notifications. Your login information may be reassigned between Your employees as needed.

Monthly charges for the Service will be at the rates set forth by the Service type and agreed upon by You in the Registration Process when You select your preferred Plan.
GLOW LOYALTY reserves the right to adjust the price of each Plan at any time GLOW LOYALTY so chooses.
