Participants who review or otherwise access their accounts via text-messaging will be charged according to their carrier's standard text messaging rates and should contact their carrier for pricing plans and details. Text-messaging may not be available through all wireless carriers. PeerProf, in its sole discretion, may allow codes from other promotions, under certain limitations, to be used in this Program from time to time.
2. Individuals may redeem their points for merchandise or services available at www.PeerProf.com and at the websites of PeerProf’s Rewards Partners ("Partners").

B. ELIGIBILITY
1. The Program is open to legal residents of the 50 United States (and the District of Columbia) who are 18 years and older at the time of enrollment. Some items for redemption may be available to those of various other ages from time to time, as indicated in the reward description. The Program is void where prohibited by law.
2. Employees of PeerProf, Zion Systems, Ltd., and Vision Marketing Group, and their respective related companies, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates may participate in the Program under the following condition: they must enroll for the Program using their company email address if one was provided to them.

D. DURATION OF THE PROGRAM
1. The current phase of the Program begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) on January 1, 2010 and it shall end at 11:59 p.m. ET on a date designated by PeerfProf with at least thirty (30) days notice posted on PeerProf’s website (the Redemption Period). PeerProf reserves the right to shorten, extend, suspend, modify, or cancel the Program, at its discretion, at any time. Individuals will be able to redeem points at any time during the Redemption Period. Participants may collect points by the methods set forth in Section E below and will be able to redeem points as set forth in Section F below.

D. ENROLLING IN THE PROGRAM
1. Individuals age 18 and older may enroll in the Program at www.PeerProf.com (the "Website") by registering with PeerProf. To enroll in the Program, a participant must click on the “Sign Up” link and follow the onscreen instructions to create a PeerProf Account (the “Account”)(see Section D (2) below). Once participants register with the PeerProf Website, and provide the required information, they will be enrolled in the program (and become an “Enrollee”). The number of points collected by such Enrollee will be recorded and tracked in Enrollee’s Account.
2. How to Create Your PeerProf Rewards Account: Once on the Website, individuals who have not already registered with PeerProf, can click on the “Sign Up” link and follow the instructions to create an Account. An individual must have a unique, valid e-mail address to create an account. Limit 1 Account per person, 5 Accounts per household and 10 Accounts per physical address. The person who is the authorized e-mail account holder of the e-mail address indicated when registering must provide date of birth information when registering for an Account and will be deemed the Enrollee.

E. COLLECTING POINTS
1. Collect points by registering with PeerProf and participating in the specified activities (the “Activities”). The Activities, along with their associated point values, will be listed and described on the Website and updated from time to time. Codes may also be obtained through other methods as offered from time to time, including but not limited to, scratch cards, print pieces, or coupons.
2. PeerProf reserves the right to change the number of points awarded for Activities at any time during the Program. Points collected through other methods including but not limited to, scratch cards, codes in print, or codes on coupons, may vary in value as disclosed on the promotional materials themselves.
3. Enrollees will be invited to submit the names and (i.) email addresses, (ii.) mobile phone numbers, and/or (iii.) other contact information of friends who are eligible to enroll in the Program. Each person that an Enrollee refers may, at PeerProf’s discretion, receive an email, text message, or other communication solely notifying that person about the Program. The communication will be sent directly from the Enrollee to each friend and PeerProf will not collect any information about any friend unless the friend later enrolls in the Program. Enrollees may only refer persons with whom they have an existing relationship. For each referred person who enrolls in the Program within 14 days of the referral and collects ten (10) Points, the referring Enrollee will receive ten (10) Points, which will be deposited in his/her Account. However, a communication will not be sent to the referred friend if that person is already enrolled in the Program, has been referred by another Enrollee within the past 14 days, or previously has opted-out of receiving emails from The PeerProf, in which case the referral is not valid for purposes of this section and the referring Enrollee will not receive any points for the referral.
4. Enrollees may not transfer or sell Points under any circumstance. Any attempt to combine or transfer Points will result in disqualification from the Program and forfeiture of all points in the Enrollees’ Account. PeerProf reserves the right to take any other or additional action it deems appropriate in its sole discretion in the event that PeerProf believes (in its sole discretion) that an Enrollee (or Enrollees) have violated any of these provisions.
5. PeerProf reserves the right to change, add, or remove the methods by which Enrollees can collect points. Enrollees are responsible for the payment of all taxes that may result from the reward(s) received as part of the Program.
6. If an Enrollee believes that Points were not properly accrued to his/her Account, the Enrollee must notify PeerProf of such concern by email at awards@peerprof.com within 14 days of the day that he or she allegedly accrued such Points.
7. Enrollees may collect points in the manner set forth above, unless extended or otherwise modified by PeerProf.

F. REDEEMING POINTS
1. Enrollees may redeem their points for merchandise, discounts, sweepstakes entries, instant win plays, offers and other items of value (“Rewards”) listed in the “Redeem Points” section of the Website while supplies last. The Website (or Partners’ website) will list the corresponding point value required to redeem each item. Enrollees must comply with individual Rewards limitations where indicated on the Website (or Partners’ website). PeerProf will periodically modify the list of merchandise and other items available for point redemption throughout the Redemption Period and reserves the right to modify the point values of the Rewards, at any time for any reason during the Redemption Period.
2. To spend/redeem your Points, navigate through the items listed on the Website or listed on any Partners’ website. By linking to select Partner websites, your enrollment profile information may be shared with that Partner and will be governed by that site’s privacy policy. You can choose any item still available for which you have accumulated sufficient points for redemption. Click the Image corresponding to the item you wish to redeem and follow the links and instructions to complete the redemption process. As part of the redemption process, you will receive a confirmation email and when applicable, an email containing the actual item you have redeemed in the form of a digital code, coupon, etc., or further instructions on how to collect the item. Emails will be sent to the email address assigned to the Enrollee’s Account. Redemptions that take place on a partners website may require the member to make an initial purchase or to pay fees, such as tax and shipping. A valid credit card may be required to complete the redemption process in these cases.
3. Each Enrollee is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of his/her Account and is encouraged to check his/her Account regularly. Each Enrollee is responsible for ensuring the mailing address associated with his/her Account is accurate and up to date. Changes to an Account or Account information may only be made by the Enrollee to whom the Account belongs.
4. All Point redemptions for products are final. Refunds, exchanges and other issues regarding the product redeemed are governed by the vendors’ terms and conditions applicable to the purchase and are not the responsibility of PeerProf.
5. Any Points remaining in an Enrollee’s Account which has remained inactive for a period of 90 days or more may, at the discretion of PeerProf, be forfeited without compensation. Failure to credit points to an Account, Redeem points from an Account, or log onto the Website or otherwise participate in an Activity constitutes “inactivity” for purposes of this condition.
6. Any Points remaining in an Enrollee's Account at the end of the Redemption Period will be forfeited without compensation. The points have no cash value and are only redeemable for offered rewards via the Program.
7. Enrollees may redeem points in the manner set forth above until the end of the Redemption Period, as defined in Section D, above, unless extended or otherwise modified by PeerProf.

G. MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM
1. PeerProf reserves the right to modify any of the Terms and Conditions set forth herein - including, but not limited to, the duration of the Program, methods by which enrollees can collect points, the eligible products to be purchased, the number of points associated with the purchase of eligible products or other activities, the number of purchases through which Enrollees may collect points, the number of points that may be redeemed through the Program, and any of the options made available to Enrollees with respect to their Accounts - at any time, with notice, even though these changes may affect an Enrollee's ability to accrue or use his/her points.

PeerProf reserves the right to terminate or temporarily suspend the Program at any time, for any reason, with notice, even though termination may affect an Enrollee's ability to accrue or use his/her points.
