IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" AND REGISTERING YOUR ORGANIZATION, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION WITHOUT ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. NBA-E GIFT CARDS FOR KIDS PROGRAM PARTNER AGREEMENT 1. Acceptance of Terms and Program Information Your access to, use of, and participation in the NBA E Gift Cards for Kids Program (hereinafter referred to as the "Program") is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these terms. As used herein, the term "you" or "your" refers to you individually and in your capacity acting as legal representative for a group, business entity or corporation. If you do not agree with these terms, you will not be allowed to register your organization to be considered for participation in the Program, you should leave this website immediately and cease any further use of any materials or information you have obtained from this site. National Business Alliance for Education, LLC ("NBA E") provides the Program as a means for eligible non-profit organizations selected by NBA-E ("Partners") to raise money. An organization's eligibility to become a Partner shall be determined in NBA E's sole discretion (see Section 3 below). 2. Fees In consideration of the services rendered to the Partner by NBA-E in connection with the Program, NBA-E shall retain one-third (33 1/3%) of the Net Proceeds (as defined below), and remit the remaining two-thirds (66 2/3%) thereof to the Partner. Except as otherwise specified herein, you do not have to pay any out-of-pocket fees to NBA-E; NBA-E's compensation is based upon a portion of the gift card money that you collect. 3. Collection and Payment a. Provision of Supplies to Partner Organizations Upon your organization's acceptance as a Partner, an NBA-E representative will contact you to set up an approved time for your collection of gift cards. You understand that NBA-E may condition your participation in the Program upon your agreement to collect gift cards within a certain geographic area during a given time frame. NBA-E will provide to you, at no extra charge, certain envelopes, boxes and other materials necessary to collect and mail the gift cards, as well as any other training materials or information NBA-E deems appropriate. b. Terms of Collection and Conversion of Gift Cards Upon collection of gift cards by your organization's members, your organization shall package and ship such gift cards, intact, as directed by NBA-E. NBA-E shall pay or reimburse you (in NBA-E's discretion) for all shipping costs. Once received by NBA-E or its agent(s), NBA-E and/or its agent(s) shall use all commercially reasonable means in attempting to convert the value remaining on the gift cards to cash value. NBA-E in its sole discretion shall determine whether the value on any individual card is collectible or economically feasible to pursue. Should a card either have no value or be deemed uncollectible by NBA-E, such card shall be disposed of in NBA-E's discretion, but shall not be returned to the Partner. b. Terms of Payment to Partner Organizations Following the conversion of gift cards to unrestricted funds, NBA-E shall remit to the Partner its portion of the Net Proceeds and provide a statement therewith indicating the total value of all gift cards collected and converted to cash (the "Gross Proceeds"), as well as actual transaction fees charged by its card-processing partner(s) that NBA-E may, in its sole discretion, subtract in whole or in part from the Gross Proceeds to determine the net proceeds ("Net Proceeds"). The time between collection of gift cards and payment to the Partner, and the amount of payment to Partner, cannot be determined in advance, and could vary based on several considerations, including but not limited to the number of cards collected, the remaining value on each such card, types of companies represented by the cards and their issuing banks, transaction fees incurred, the locations of the gift card issuers, and age of the cards collected. You hereby agree that while NBA-E shall make commercially reasonable efforts to convert card value and provide payment to your organization within a reasonable period of time, NBA-E shall not be held liable for any delays or harms resulting thereby. 4. Request for Access to Program - Your Registration Obligations In order to request that your organization be considered by NBA-E for access to the Program as a Partner, an authorized representative of your organization must complete the registration form on this website. In doing so, you agree individually and, as an authorized representative, on behalf of your organization, that you have read, understand, and agree to the Terms and Conditions for use of this website. In consideration of NBA-E taking your request into consideration, you represent that you are an authorized representative of an eligible non-profit organization and of legal age to form a binding contract. You also agree to (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself and your organization as prompted by the registration form (the "Registration Data"), and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or NBA-E has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, NBA-E has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse you and any organization with which you are connected any and all current or future use of the Program (or any portion thereof). You will be required to enter a valid state tax identification number to verify your organization's tax-exempt status at the time of registration, and upon acceptance into the Program will be required to forward a hard copy of such documents to NBA-E prior to receiving any materials or beginning use of the Program. Upon review of your registration information, NBA-E will, solely at its own discretion, determine whether your organization will be accepted as a Partner in the Program. You hereby acknowledge that the decision of NBA-E as to acceptance as a Partner is final and binding, and waive any and all claims and release NBA-E from any liability resulting from such decision. 5. NBA-E Privacy Policy You hereby agree that you have reviewed NBA-E's Privacy Policy prior to registration or entering any information relating to yourself or your organization. The Privacy Policy, as modified from time to time, summarizes what personally identifiable information we may collect from you, and how we may use that information. 6. Partner Organization Account and Password If your organization is accepted as a Partner, you, as the Partner's registered representative, will receive a password and account designation. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to: (a) immediately notify NBA-E of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. NBA-E cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 6. 7.
