If you are a Market Hong Kong Preferred Customer, you are automatically enrolled in the ma Cashback program, which allows you to get 2% cash back for your qualifying purchases, and, when you refer your friends, to also receive .5% cash back on the qualifying purchases your friends make. The cash you earn can be used as a payment option to pay for products available through the checkout on Market Hong Kong’s websites. Additionally, you may request redemptions from your account, subject to then-current minimum redemption requirements (currently HKD$400).
b. Preferred Customers will be credited, subject to these Terms and additional terms disclosed on the Participating Store’s site, a percentage of the Net Purchases of Market Hong Kong-branded products or qualifying products sold by third-parties that display the ma 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. Market Hong Kong reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which products will display the ma Cashback logo.
c. 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 Market Hong Kong if they determine that your purchase did not qualify for cash back because you did not comply with these Terms 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 Market Hong Kong. We may also disqualify reported purchases based on our own determination that you have not complied with these Terms or the terms disclosed on the Participating Store’s site.
d. Cash back rewards for qualifying Market Hong Kong-branded products will post to your account immediately. 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 cash back rewards will be eligible for redemption. It is your responsibility to ensure that we properly post cash back rewards to your account.
e. Market Hong Kong is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance or withdrawal of, any Participating Store’s participation in the ma Cashback program, or for any effect on accrual of cash back rewards caused by such changes, discontinuance, or withdrawal. If a Participating Store fails to report a transaction to Market Hong Kong, or withholds payment to Market Hong Kong for any reason, Market Hong Kong reserves the right to cancel the cash back award associated with that transaction. Cash back rewards awarded to Preferred Customers are subject to adjustments for returns, cancellations, and other events. Such adjustments can be applied to your account at any time by Market Hong Kong in its sole discretion. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to withdraw from the ma Cashback program.
f. You will not earn cash back on purchases where (a) your browser is not configured to accept cookies; (b) you are not logged in as a Preferred Customer; (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 ma Cashback, maintain multiple accounts, or do not otherwise comply with these Terms.
g. 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 cash back rewards, depending on the amount of cash back rewards you accrue and the tax laws of local jurisdictions. In all instances, you will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your accrual or redemption of cash back rewards.
h. We may close your account if it has been inactive for 12 months (i.e., no qualifying purchases during the prior 12-month period). Accrued but unredeemed cash back rewards in accounts that are closed will be returned to Market Hong Kong.
i. Market Hong Kong reserves the right to terminate the ma Cashback program at any time with notice. Notification of termination will be sent to the email address you provide to Market Hong Kong during the Preferred Customer registration process. |
