and without notice to you. Changes made will become effective from the “Last
Updated” date at the top of this page or by writing to our Contact Address. You
are responsible for making sure you have the most current version of all Terms
and Conditions. Terms and Conditions may be amended only by us as described

acceptance, debit, or deposit of any payment made by you to us or notation on
any document sent by you to us does not constitute an amendment of any Service
Agreement by us.
Only United States residents who are 18 years of age or
older and business entities having their principal office in the United States
may participate in the Rewards Program. Velocity reserves the right at any time
to further limit participation in the Rewards Program.
Participants must only participate in the Rewards Program if
and to the extent such participation is permitted by such laws, rules and regulations. Velocity may refuse to enroll a
Participant, or to restrict, modify or terminate a Participant's participation
in the Rewards Program, without liability to the Participant or any other
party, if a Participant violates any law, rule or
regulation, or if a Participant's participation in the Rewards Program could
violate any law, rule or regulation. Participants agree to comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations when accessing and participating in the
Rewards Program.
Participants must provide accurate and true information to
Velocity at all times and must promptly notify Velocity of any change in
shipping address (mail or email) by updating their personal information at the
Rewards Program Website. To view and access Rewards and to redeem Points for
available Rewards, you must have and maintain an operational email account able
to receive notices and correspondence relating to the Rewards Program.
Participants must not abuse Rewards Program privileges by
engaging in conduct that is detrimental to Velocity or the Program Sponsor,
including, without limitation, attempting to earn Points or redeem Points
through fraudulent or unethical means, or in a manner inconsistent with or
contrary to the Terms and Conditions. If you attempt to abuse the Rewards
Program, or fail to comply with the Terms and Conditions, Velocity may, without
limitation, cancel and void all Points and related certificates, terminate your
participation in the Rewards Program, and/or cancel any MRPC Program Debit Card
belonging to you or an Accountholder. Velocity shall be the sole arbiter in
cases of suspected abuse, fraud or violation of its rules and any decision it
makes relating to termination of participation (including cancellation of
Points) shall be final and binding.
All Points are either (i) electronically deposited to your
Rewards Program account if this option is made available by your Program
Sponsor (this method of electronic deposit of Points is referred to herein as “eDeposit” and may or may not be available for your
particular Rewards Program and/or your particular Program Sponsor); or (ii)
evidenced by certificates issued by Velocity which contain a unique certificate
number and a specific number of Points. Points received by eDeposit
are herein referred to as “eDeposit Points”, while
Points evidenced by certificates are herein referred to as “certificated
Points”.
Points are redeemed through the Rewards Program Website, or
by submitting a paper order form which may be obtained by calling the number
listed under ‘Contact Us’, and may be submitted via
standard mail sent to our Contact Address. Points may be redeemed only for
Rewards offered by Velocity that are available at the time of redemption.
POINTS MAY NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH,
CHECK OR CREDIT. POINTS HAVE NO CASH VALUE. At the time of
redemption, Participants may be asked for identification suitable to Velocity
in its discretion. ALL POINTS EXPIRE TWO YEARS FROM THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH
IN WHICH THE POINTS WERE ISSUED AND UPON SUCH EXPIRATION BECOME VOID, UNLESS
OTHERWISE STATED ON A CERTIFICATE, OR NOTIFIED TO YOU IN WRITING. NO
REPLACEMENTS WILL BE MADE FOR LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED CERTIFICATES.
Points will be subtracted from a Participant's account once
a Reward is requested, and any certificates representing those Points will
become void once redeemed. A Participant may not cancel the order or substitute
another Reward for the one ordered except as otherwise provided in these
Rewards Program Terms. No refunds of Points will be made for any reason. If you
reverse a transaction made with or purchased with your Rewards Program Debit
Card (e.g. you return an item you purchased with your
Program Debit Card back to a merchant), the statement credit you receive in
your Rewards Program eligible checking account will cause Points earned from
the purchase transaction to be deducted from your Program account.
Product exchanges will be made upon
the following terms and conditions:
a. For item(s) damaged prior to receipt by the Participant, the Participant may (a) contact member services for the program for assistance, or (b) mail the item(s) to the address specified by Velocity on the return form included in the product shipment or specified on this website, and enclose a notation indicating the problem with the item(s). Replacement item(s) will be sent to the Participant, and the postage required for the return will be refunded to the Participant.
b.
For item(s) not damaged, but for which the
Participant desires a replacement, the Participant may exchange the item(s) for
any other item(s) then currently available for the same number of Points or for
a lesser number of Points. If the exchange is for an item available for a lower
number of Points, no Points will be refunded. The Participant may return the
exchanged item(s) to the address specified by Velocity on the return form
included in the product shipment or specified on this website and must enclose
$3.50 for postage and handling. Velocity will replace the returned item(s) with
the requested item(s). The cost of the return postage will not be refunded to
the Participant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:
·
No returns or exchanges will be accepted for any
reason after 90 days from the date of the order.
·
No Points will be refunded or redeposited in the
event of any return or exchange.
·
If an item requested to be sent as a replacement
or exchange is not available, then Velocity reserves the right to substitute
another item of equal or greater value (as determined by Velocity).
Velocity strives to maintain adequate inventories of
Rewards. However, items are occasionally discontinued or unavailable.
You may only use Points for Rewards that are currently
available. Certain Rewards may only be available for specific time periods.
Some Rewards may
have additional terms and conditions specific to such
Reward; the detailed terms and conditions for a specific Reward are available
on the Rewards Program Website or by written request sent to our Contact
Address.
Velocity reserves the right to replace any Reward item
ordered with an item of equal or greater value (as determined by Velocity).
Velocity also reserves the right from time to time to increase the number of
Points required for certain items and to correct any errors in Rewards Program
catalogs or on the Rewards Program Website without notice.
When you use or redeem Points to receive Rewards, you
release us and all of our affiliates from any and all liability for your use of
Points, for your use of the Rewards, and for your participation in the Rewards
Program.
To the extent we make shipping and delivery available, we
will pack Rewards item(s) in accordance with our standard practices. You may be
provided with available options to choose the method of shipment and timing of
delivery for the applicable item(s) ordered, and in such an event, you will be
charged shipping and handling charges accordingly. Title to item(s) and risk of
loss will pass to you upon our delivery of item(s) to the carrier. Scheduled
shipment dates are generally estimates only; however, we anticipate that we
will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet the scheduled shipment dates,
but in no event will we be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting
from any delay in shipment or delivery.
Points may not be transferred voluntarily or involuntarily
to any other person or account. Points are void if transferred. Points may not
be sold, bartered or exchanged. Additionally, Points
cannot be transferred by operation of law, including, without limitation, by
inheritance, in bankruptcy or in connection with a divorce.
For security reasons, your full Account number, full Social
Security Number and certain other identifying data
will not be stored by us anywhere, including on the Rewards Program Website.
You acknowledge and consent to our use of a masked account number (for example,
“*****6789” instead of “123456789”) as a true and accurate representation of
your full Account number for all correspondence, confirmation e-mails, and
cancellation e-mails.
If a Participant objects to any portion of the Terms and
Conditions, or any subsequent modifications thereto, or become dissatisfied
with the Rewards Program, the Participant's only recourse is to immediately
discontinue participation in the Rewards Program and terminate the
Participant's relationship with Velocity. At such time, all Points will be
forfeited.
Velocity reserves the right to terminate any Participant's
account if that Participant has been inactive for any given period of 24
consecutive months. A Participant shall be considered “inactive” for such time
as the Participant has not added Points or certificates for Points to the
Participant's account or redeemed
Points for rewards. Upon termination of an inactive account,
the accrued Points will be cancelled.
Velocity reserves the right to change, modify or discontinue
the Rewards Program with or without notice to the Participant. Velocity shall
not be liable to the Participant should Velocity exercise its right to modify
or discontinue the Rewards Program.
