StyleRewards
By signing up for the Service or referring your friends to the Service or by engaging in other activities via the Service, you may be able to receive StyleRewards (defined below). "StyleRewards" are "points" that may be applied as credits toward future purchases made by users via the Site and Service.

StyleRewards can be accrued solely by you and you may not earn StyleRewards by permitting another individual to use your account. StyleRewards accrued in multiple accounts may not be combined into one account. You may not earn StyleRewards by creating multiple accounts. By acquiring StyleRewards, you agree and acknowledge that the Company is granting you a limited, revocable license to a digital item, and that StyleRewards are not your personal property. You may not obtain any cash or money in exchange for StyleRewards. Except as explicitly provided herein, StyleRewards are non-transferable. Members are responsible for keeping track of the StyleRewards in their accounts.

StyleRewards may only be redeemed via the Site and Services. You may only redeem StyleRewards after the StyleRewards are reflected in your account. The scope, variety, and type of services and products that you may obtain by redeeming StyleRewards can change at any time.

[Subject to applicable law, all StyleRewards expire six (6) months from the date following the last credit or debit to your account. If for some reason you believe that there is a discrepancy regarding your balance of StyleRewards, please contact us at help@styleseat.com. The Company may require to you to submit additional information in order to make a determination regarding your balance. All decisions regarding your balance will be final and at the Company's sole discretion. You are responsible for any tax consequences, if any, that may result from your redemption or use of StyleRewards.]

Without limiting any other terms of these Terms and subject to applicable law, all StyleRewards are forfeited if your account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in the Company's sole discretion, or if the Company discontinues providing the Site and Services.
