Referral Reward: A reward earned by your Customer when their friends register for the btwn service and make a purchase following your Customer’s purchase from the same point of sales using their enrolled Payment Card(s).
Shopping Reward: A reward earned by your customer when your customer refers a friend to your business that makes a verified purchase based on that referral at a participating Merchant using your Payment Card.
Transaction Data: The name of the Merchant, date and time of the transaction, amount of the transaction, and such other identifying information as needed to determine if your Customer’s purchase is a Qualified Purchase.
Merchant Submissions: Input submitted by merchants in connection with their use of the B.PLAT Service.
The B.PLAT Services are provided by B.PLAT and provide a card-linked service for your customers desiring to buy and merchants intending to sell their products (“Merchant Products”). Because this service works as a card-linked service, your customers must register an eligible Visa, MasterCard, or American Express debit or credit card (“Payment Card”) to use the B.PLAT Services.
To use the B.PLAT Service’s registration process, you as the merchant must register using your Shopify, Stripe, or Visa account login information. When you create an account, you must add your payment information (e.g., bank account or credit/debit card) to send referral rewards automatically to your customers when their referred friends make purchases at your store. Payment occurs only when B.PLAT Service’s system recognizes the transactions are made through word-of-mouth referrals by tracking your customers’ friend connections and transactions. If you register with the B.PLAT Service using the Visa payment gateway, B.PLAT will not be able to track payments made with other cards (Mastercard, American Express). Merchants connecting using the Visa payment gateway will only be eligible for rewarding customers that pay with Visa.
You will be eligible to send a Referral Reward to your customer after they shop and refer a friend to your store and the referred customer makes a purchase at your store. Merchants have the option to choose the amount they want to pay their customers for making a referral. The minimum amount for the referral fee is 10%. Merchants can change the referral fee to 15% or 20%. If one merchant sells high-priced products (over $1,000 for an average sale), they have the option to set a cap limit to the referral fee (for example, even if a sale is $5,000, they can set a fee for 10% out of $500 only).
After a one-time registration to use the service, your customers become eligible to receive a shopping reward (“Shopping Reward” shown on the “Stores Visited” detail page in the btwn APP) when they purchase Merchant Products at a participating Merchant using their registered Payment Card. Your customers can find participating Merchants in the btwn APP. The amount of your customer’s Shopping Reward varies depending on the participating merchant.
Your customer’s purchase is considered a “Qualified Purchase” when your customer buys your products/services using the registered Payment Card at the Merchant’s online or offline point of sales. We use “Transaction Data,” defined as the name of the Merchant, date and time of the transaction, amount of the transaction, and such other identifying information as needed to determine whether your customer’s purchase is a Qualified Purchase.
Your customer may refer their friends to purchase your products/services. When your customer’s friends register to use the btwn service, they will go through the same process as the referring customer to sign up and register and will receive the same information on consents. Your customers’ referrals to friends are considered eligible for a Referral Reward (“Referral Reward” in the btwn APP) when their friends register for the btwn service and make a purchase following your customer’s purchase from the same point of sales using their own enrolled Payment Card(s) in this service.
Your customer can see the available amount (“Reward Balance” in the btwn APP) of their Shopping Reward and Referral Reward in the menu of “Your Account” in the btwn APP. Your customer’s Reward Balance equals their Shopping Rewards plus their Referral Rewards. If their Reward Balance exceeds $25.00 USD, they may claim their Reward Balance by submitting a request to redeem their Reward Balance.
Referral Fees are not refundable. Any refunds that a merchant’s referred customer might request are not the responsibility of B.PLAT and will not be refunded by B.PLAT. Merchants must provide a credit card that will be charged when a new referral is made. B.PLAT provides invoices twice a month for such charges.
THE B.PLAT SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 13 OR TO ANY USERS SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE B.PLAT SERVICE. BY USING THE B.PLAT SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE B.PLAT SERVICE.
SUBJECT TO YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, B.PLAT grants you permission to access and use the B.PLAT Service solely for your use as a merchant, as set forth in these Terms and consistent with the intended features of the B.PLAT Service.
You as a Merchant will gain access to a dashboard where you can see how the referral program is performing, the amount spent by customers, and the number of customers gained. By using the dashboard, you will be able to see data about your customers that have downloaded the btwn app and made a purchase at your business. You can also use the dashboard as a customer relationship tool to send coupons, invitations, and surveys to their customers. Your customers will receive these types of messages from you as the merchant through in-app notifications.
Intellectual property laws of all jurisdictions prohibit the reproduction and distribution of protected works without authorization. You are responsible for determining what laws apply to your use of the B.PLAT Service, and for applying the laws in the relevant jurisdiction when using the B.PLAT Service. You may not use the B.PLAT Service in violation of these or any other applicable laws.

To provide your customers with the B.PLAT Service and certain discounts, it is necessary for B.PLAT to facilitate real-time notifications, promotions, and benefits, with certain third-party service providers, payment card networks (such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express (the “Payment Card Networks”), participating merchants, and payment processors. Your customers authorize B.PLAT and such third-party service providers retained by B.PLAT to capture and use their Payment Card number to track and view transactions they have made with B.PLAT’s participating merchants. Your customers agree that B.PLAT may view their future transactions made with participating merchants. Separately, the sharing, exchange, and processing of your customers’ transaction history by and among B.PLAT, B.PLAT’s third-party service providers, Payment Card Networks, participating merchants, and the payment processor for your customers’ transactions are described in the Privacy Policy.
Special Notes for Visa, MasterCard, and American Express Cardholders:
• By registering their Visa, MasterCard, or American Express card to their B.PLAT account, your customers agree that Visa, MasterCard, and American Express may provide transaction information as described in these Terms. Not all Visa, MasterCard, and American Express cards are eligible for registration and not all transactions with your customers’ registered Visa, MasterCard, and American Express cards are tracked by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

• Not all transactions made by your customers’ registered Visa, MasterCard, and American Express payment cards can be monitored by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for purposes of the B.PLAT program. Your customers should not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for their purchases with their Card if they want the transaction to be eligible for rewards or offer completion. You acknowledge that Visa, MasterCard, and American Express may be unable to monitor every transaction made with your customers’ enrolled Visa, MasterCard, and American Express card, including PIN-based purchases; purchases your customers initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN; payments made through other payment methods (such as a digital wallet or a third-party payment app, where your customers may choose their Visa, MasterCard, and American Express card as a funding source but do not present their card directly to the merchant); payments of existing balances, balance transfers, or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa, MasterCard, and American Express U.S.A. Inc. payment system; and that these transactions are not eligible.
B.PLAT receives data from merchants through the third party used by the merchant to register with the B.PLAT service. Currently, only merchants that use Shopify, Stripe, or Visa can register for merchant accounts with B.PLAT. B.PLAT matches the customer’s name, last 4 digits of their card, and the total amount of their sale with the data B.PLAT receives from the customer’s credit card that is connected to the app. B.PLAT does not store data. B.PLAT uses data to match and verify purchases made at partner vendors on the app.
Visa merchants will only reward payments made by a customer and their friends using a Visa card. All other merchants can reward payments made using any type of payment method.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
