- AAA shall appoint a procedural arbitrator to structure staged proceedings.
- Initial bellwether cases may be selected to facilitate resolution.
- Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees shall be assessed as determined by AAA rules, subject to applicable law.
This provision is intended to promote efficiency and reduce duplicative costs.

Where required by law:

II. PCH Club, PCH Shopping and Cashback Specific Details
The following PCH Shopping details (“Shopping Terms”) apply solely to your participation in the PCH Club, PCH Shopping and associated PCH Cashback program (“Shopping”). PCH Shopping is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide certain services to you. These Shopping Terms supplement and form part of these Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between these Shopping Terms and the general Terms of Use, these Shopping Terms will control solely with respect to Shopping.
1. Program Details. The PCH Club is a paid membership offering that provides eligible members with access to certain benefits, which may vary by membership tier. Benefits may include, without limitation, access to a cashback savings portal, exclusive offers, discounts, promotions, rewards, or other features as determined by PCH from time to time.
2. Membership Tiers. The PCH Club may offer multiple membership tiers (each, a “Tier”), which may differ in:
· Monthly or annual membership fees;
· Available benefits;
· Cashback percentages, limits, or eligibility; and
· Access to certain promotions or features.
Current Tier descriptions and pricing are made available at the time of enrollment and may be updated from time to time.
3. Membership Fees. Membership fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis, every 30 days from the date you first subscribe. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated in promotional material associated with the offer you took advantage of to subscribe. You may cancel at any time by going to your Membership Portal and selecting Cancel Membership from the current plan.
4. Equal Treatment of Entries. Entries received through PCH’s Free Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”) will be:
· Accepted and processed in the same manner as entries associated with a paid membership;
· Pooled together with all other eligible entries for winner selection;
· Subject to the same verification, eligibility, and disqualification standards.
Paid membership does not increase the odds of winning a sweepstakes. If an entry multiplier or similar promotional enhancement is offered, AMOE entries submitted during the applicable promotional period will receive the same multiplier or enhancement.
5. Automatic Renewals. By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize PCH to automatically renew your membership at the end of each billing period (every 30 days) and charge the applicable membership fee to your selected payment method, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting your Membership Account. You agree that we and/or our payment agents appointed by us from time to time may store your payment details to process future purchases. By accepting these Terms, you authorize us and/or our payment agents to store Your payment credentials in compliance with applicable payment processing regulations.
6. PCH Cashback Rewards. The Shopping platform enables you to access and earn Rewards, subject to the guidelines herein. “Rewards” means any incentive that you may earn through PCH Cashback, including cash-back, discounts, digital coupons, loyalty points, and other reward or loyalty mechanisms.
a. PCH Cashback may include cashback and referral bonuses activated by the creation of trackable links (referred to herein as a “Link”) for one or more “Merchant” (which include, for example, online retailers of products, services or content). Links may be embedded within browsers or other forms of digital communications and may redirect you (or direct recipients, with whom you share the Link) to one or more Merchants. Links are configured to track and attribute transactions to you so that you may earn a Reward if you complete a transaction with a Merchant.
b. Some transactions may not earn Rewards or may earn at a rate which is different from the rate indicated by PCH Cashback. You are not guaranteed to earn a Reward from a transaction. Even if PCH Cashback indicates that a transaction is eligible or confirmed, transactions may not earn Rewards for several reasons, without notice to you, including without limitation:
i. Merchants may alter terms, conditions, or commission rates;
ii. Merchants may discontinue their programs.
iii. Merchants may exclude certain products from Reward eligibility.
c. Merchants may have technical failures which result in transactions failing to be tracked or attributed to you. Links may fail to function properly. Link tracking may cease to function during transmission when you share it with others. Links may be altered or disabled by web browsers or ad blockers. Merchants may reject transactions due to suspected policy violations. The communication channel or browser through which the Link is activated or shared may modify or block the Link, alter the tracking code, or strip out the tracking code.
d. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to withhold, cancel or adjust the amount of any Reward or Reward distribution, for any reason at any time. By using PCH Cashback, you accept this condition. Additionally, we may choose in our sole discretion to institute a limit on how many times you may receive a Reward. We reserve the right at any time to cancel, modify, or restrict any aspect of PCH Cashback.
e. Some Rewards originate from marketing fees paid by a Merchant to us. Merchants may have holdback periods during which they hold a pending distribution for a specified period, for example, until the expiration of a return policy and/or until a service is consumed. If we are not paid for a transaction by a Merchant, we shall have no obligation to provide any Reward to you for the associated transaction. We only provide a Reward to you after a transaction is successfully tracked and completed and after we receive payment for that specific transaction from the Merchant. If, for any reason or no reason, the Merchant pays less than expected amount or does not pay a commission for the transaction, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to adjust or cancel the Reward.
f. Some Rewards may include coupons, discounts or promotions from Merchants (“Offers”). We do not guarantee that merchants will honor Offers. Offer codes may be expired or invalid. Offers may not be eligible for your transaction, based upon exclusions, terms and conditions determined by Merchants.
g. Any Reward amount which may be due to you is determined by us in our sole discretion.
h. When you activate cashback and complete a purchase of eligible products at participating Merchants, this may generate a pending Reward, which is conditional until confirmed as described herein. Any information sent to you, such as a notification, email or account message or displayed within your dashboard regarding a pending Reward shall be conditional and shall not create a contractual obligation. We may alter or cancel a pending Reward for any reason including, but not limited to: charge-backs, product returns, duplicate entry or other accounting error, Merchant non-payment, non-bona fide transactions, non-receipt of payment from or refund of payment to the purchaser by the Merchant, our inability to contact you in order to validate transactions, your distribution of Links via Unapproved Channels, or your failure to comply with Third Party Merchant or Affiliate Network Terms and Conditions. Merchants may alter or cancel their program, Merchants may cease to be affiliated with the Services.
i. We may be required to nullify Rewards due to limitations established by certain Merchants which prohibit payments to users who reside in certain geographies due to tax nexus or other considerations.
j. In order to prevent fraudulent use of PCH Cashback, we may attempt to contact you in order to validate your account and determine whether you are performing acceptable promotional methods.
k. Rewards remain in a pending state until we receive payment from the Merchant for the associated transaction. After we receive payment from a Merchant for your specific transaction Reward, the Reward status may change from pending to confirmed. We may remit Rewards automatically to your selected redemption method or we may provide an interface for you to request withdrawal.
l. Redemption of confirmed Rewards may be subject to a minimum payout threshold, which may change from time to time, in our sole discretion, without notice to you. If there is a redemption threshold and your balance is below that threshold, Rewards will remain in your account and your balance may roll forward to subsequent redemption periods until the minimum redemption threshold is achieved. Any minimum threshold applicable to your use of PCH Cashback will be communicated through your Account.
m. Redemptions may be issued in batches (for example once monthly). We reserve the right to change the frequency and timing of Reward redemptions without notice to you. If you elect to manually redeem rewards, the earnings may be distributed in the next upcoming batch redemption, which may be subject to cut off dates.
n. We may offer one or more choices for the Redemption of Rewards. “Redemption” of Rewards means that you either (a) apply Rewards towards a purchase, license or other transactions made by you through the Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (b) you receive a redemption of your Rewards in accordance with this Agreement, which may be in the form of a cash payout (e.g., through PayPal, ACH, digital wallet, or other form of electronic payment), gift card, store value card, debit card, prepaid card, or through some other mechanism. You may set your Redemption preference and provide associated account information within your user dashboard or settings. We are not able to Redeem Rewards if you choose not to select one of the eligible redemption methods, if you fail to provide account information or if the account information you provide is not accurate. Redemption of Rewards may be performed via a third-party provider. Your information, including your account information, may be collected and stored by us or by a third-party payment processor. We reserve the right to discontinue a payment method and change redemption providers. If we choose to switch providers, you grant us (and the appropriate third parties) the right to transfer your account information to the new third-party provider. You agree to promptly and accurately provide all information requested by us or by any of our affiliates such as a payment processor, to validate your identity and to process any redemptions for you or on your behalf.
o. You agree that we have the right, but not the obligation, to seek on your behalf. any and all Reward payments from Merchants. You agree that we have no special relationship with or fiduciary duty to you and you acknowledge that we have no duty to take any action regarding collection of payment from Merchants.
p. If you have pending or confirmed Rewards, and your account has no new activity (defined as the earning of a pending Reward) for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, we reserve the right to assess a monthly Dormant Account Fee of up to $5.00 USD, until such time as your Reward balance reaches $0.00. Any Dormant Account Fee which we apply may or may not be displayed in your user dashboard or other presentations of your account balance. If your account has no new activity for a period of 12 months, we reserve the right to void any remaining balance of Rewards in your account.
q. You are obligated to independently assess and comply with all relevant tax and legal requirements. We shall not provide you with tax or legal advice. In the event that, during any single calendar year, a Reward payout would result in payment to you of $600 or more, we may require you to provide us with a completed IRS form W-9 and we may thereafter issue a Form 1099 for that calendar year. We may utilize a third-party service provider to perform this function. If we require a completed form W-9 from you and you fail to provide one, we may withhold payment until tax documentation is provided
r. Unassociated Accounts. If you fail to associate your device with a valid PayPal account within 12 months after you earn their first reward, we reserve the right to void any remaining balance of rewards in such account.
s. You are solely responsible for all usage and activity on your PCH Cashback account and for loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your account credentials.
