Term and Conditions

GENERAL


Rewardwise Technologies Private Limited (“Rewardwise,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a range of products and services that assist merchants in managing their customer’s loyalty reward programs. These include the Rewardwise.co platform for online management, the Wallet for customers to track and redeem their points, and the Rewardwise.co website.


Who are Bound by this Agreement


This agreement applies to all users of the services, including merchants who use the services to manage loyalty reward programs for their customers, as well as customers who use the services to monitor and manage their loyalty points with one or more merchants. The term “Users” encompasses all end users of the services, including every employee, representative, consultant, contractor, or agent of a merchant, every customer, and any other end user.


In this agreement, “you” and “your” refer to you as an individual, or to the legal entity you are representing if you are acting on behalf of another entity. If you are an individual using the services, you may be a customer, a merchant who operates as a sole proprietor, or both. If you are a user representing another legal entity such as a corporation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that entity to this agreement. You are responsible for ensuring that any employee, representative, consultant, contractor, or agent who uses the services on your behalf complies with this agreement. If you are a merchant, this includes any user who creates an account associated with you (“Account”).


Even if you access our services through a different platform that is integrated with our Platform, this Agreement still applies to your use of our Services.


Acceptance


By accessing and using the Services, you agree to be bound by these terms of use, any Selected Subscription Plan that applies to you, and any other Rewardwise documents or additional terms that are expressly incorporated by reference. Together, these form a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Rewardwise, governing your use of the Services.


Updates and Changes to Agreement


Rewardwise reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time at its sole discretion by publishing an updated version on the Rewardwise website. Such changes take effect immediately upon publication on the website and apply to your continued use of the Services. By continuing to access and use the Services, you agree to any modifications to the Agreement.
