PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. THESE TERMS INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT INCLUDES A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND A CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTES.
BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES.
QUOTIENT RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, TO CHANGE, MODIFY, ADD OR REMOVE PORTIONS OF THESE TERMS, AT ANY TIME, BY POSTING CHANGES TO THIS PAGE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES MEANS THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ALL SUCH CHANGES.
1. PRIVACY POLICY AND ADDITIONAL TERMS
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share information, and is hereby incorporated into these Terms. You agree that your use of the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy.
Certain Services may be subject to additional terms, which will be posted with such Services, such as terms governing a referral program. If you choose to use such Services, you agree that the additional terms apply.
2. ELIGIBILITY
To use the Services, you must be, and hereby represent that you are, an individual 16 years or older who can form legally binding contracts. Any use of the Services by anyone under the age of 16 is strictly prohibited. If you are a minor in your jurisdiction of residence, you must have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to enter the Terms and use the Service. If you have previously been suspended from the Services, or if we have previously suspended or deactivated your User Account (defined below), you are prohibited from use of the Services. Users must be human; no machines, scripts, or automated services may be used to accumulate any financial benefits derived from the use of the Service.
3. ACCOUNTS AND AUTHORIZED BROWSERS OR DEVICES
To use certain Services, you may be required to create an account and associated password or authorize a browser or device through SMS verification or other means (“User Account”). You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services, and (b) maintain and promptly update information about yourself to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You further agree that you will not create a User Account using any email address, phone number, or other personally identifying information that is not yours.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password(s) and User Account information, and you are responsible for all activities that occur using your password or User Account or as a result of your use or access to the Services. You agree to notify Quotient immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or User Account using this form.

You may use only one User Account. Any duplicate User Accounts will be subject to cancellation. You may not use anyone else’s User Account at any time.
4. RETAILER ACCOUNT LINKING
If you link your User Account to a retailer loyalty card program or to a retailer online account (each a “Linked Account”), you are agreeing to share, and authorizing us to use, your loyalty card program ID or account information to collect information about your shopping activity in-store and/or online either directly from the retailer or by using your credentials to access your retailer online account and for other purposes as described in our Privacy Policy. This information may include, historical (up to two years, if available) and future purchase data, including products purchased, quantities purchased, prices charged, where you made the purchases (for example, store name, store location, website address), and the time and date of your purchases. We do not use your loyalty ID number or online account information to collect data about you that is not normally provided on a purchase receipt, such as payment card account information (account number, expiration date, security code, or billing address), bank account numbers, prescription histories, or medical information. All such collected information is subject to our Privacy Policy. For purchases made after you link a Linked Account, we will review the purchase data associated with your Linked Account and automatically identify qualifying purchases that match any activated Offers associated with your User Account and apply coupons or Rewards, as appropriate. When making purchases, you should follow the respective retailer instructions to ensure your purchases are associated with your Linked Account. For example, you should enter your loyalty card number or the phone number associated with your Linked Account at checkout in-store, use a payment method associated with your Linked Account that will register your in-store purchases with your Linked Account, or ensure you are logged in to your retailer online account when making purchases. If your purchases do not appear in your Linked Account purchase history, you will not be credited for such purchases at a retailer for which you have a Linked Account.
5. OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT
Except for User Content (defined below), all coupons, offers, data, text, images, logos, photographs, advertisements, graphics, press releases, audio, video, documents, and other information and content available on or through the Services (“Content”), is the property of Quotient or its licensors. The Content is protected by copyright, trademark, and/or other intellectual property laws and you acknowledge and agree that we retain all right, title and interest in and to the Content.
Except as expressly stated in these Terms, you may not sell, transfer, alter, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, display, post, or transmit any Content, in whole or in part, by any means.
6. PROMOTIONS
- You agree to comply with the terms and conditions associated with any offers, coupons, coupon codes, and other promotions available on or through the Services.
- You may only redeem each coupon once.
- If you print coupons using any of our print technologies, you agree that we may install or store certain authentication and print control technologies on your devices. You agree not to interfere with or circumvent such technologies.
- You agree to comply with campaign and user limits and only print or activate coupons for your own personal and non-commercial use.
- You agree not to sell, barter or transfer any coupon, or any electronic or hard copy of a coupon, to any third party.
7. CASH BACK OFFERS
The following terms apply to all offers where you are eligible to earn cash back, rebate, or other rewards specified by the advertiser, excluding discounts or other price reductions taken at the time of sale, (each, a “Reward”) by submitting in-store receipts or by using a Linked Account to provide purchase transaction information to Quotient (all herein “Cash Back Offers”):
- You must link a payment account (e.g. PayPal account) to your User Account in order to earn Rewards from Cash Back Offers. IF, WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF SUBMITTING A REDEMPTION REQUEST, YOU DO NOT VERIFY YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT AND VERIFY YOUR BROWSER OR DEVICE THROUGH SMS VERIFICATION OR OTHER MEANS, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO EARN ANY REWARDS, AND ALL REWARDS SHALL REMAIN THE SOLE PROPERTY OF QUOTIENT.
- You agree that any information you provide by submitting in-store receipts or via a Linked Account is subject to the terms of Quotient’s Privacy Policy.
- If you are redeeming a Reward for any Cash Back Offer that was initiated by i) texting a keyword from a phone or device to the short code 76666 or ii) providing your phone number to receive a Cash Back Offer via a text message, you further agree to the Quotient SMS Terms and Conditions.
- Some Cash Back Offers are store-specific and require that the product be purchased from a particular store(s) identified in the details of the offer.
- To earn Rewards by submitting a receipt, the purchase must be made at a store whose receipt, e-receipt, or computerized receipt provides at least the following information: store name, location, date and time of purchase, total amount of receipt, and, for the product(s) that relate to the offer, the quantity, price paid, and product name and description.
- To earn Rewards by using a Linked Account, you must first link your online retailer or loyalty card account, if available, to your User Account. After linking your Linked Account, the qualifying purchase must be made using your Linked Account Information so that the purchases are listed in your Linked Account purchase history or otherwise associated with your Linked Account (e.g. by providing your loyalty card ID, phone number, or an associated payment method at checkout in-store, or by logging into your account when making online purchases). Rewards on purchases made prior to linking a Linked Account cannot be redeemed using a Linked Account. To redeem Rewards for purchases made prior to linking your Linked Account, Rewards should be redeemed by submitting a copy of the receipt before attempting to link a retailer loyalty card program or retailer online account to your User Account. After requesting to link a retailer loyalty account or retailer online account to your User Account, receipt submissions can no longer be made for that retailer.
- Cash Back Offers may not be combined with other manufacturer coupons or rebates for the same product in the same purchase. We may reject any Reward requests for products purchased using other manufacturer coupons or rebates. We may limit access to Cash Back Offers to a single redemption, such that when a Cash Back Offer is used at one retailer, the Cash Back Offer cannot be used again at any retailer.
- Any receipts you submit must be for your own purchases, and you may not modify the receipt you receive from the applicable retailer in any way. The entire receipt must be submitted in order to earn Rewards. You may not submit any purchase receipt that has already been uploaded by you or another user in an attempt to request multiple Rewards for the same purchase or any products you did not actually purchase.
- Unless otherwise stated in the offer terms, you must “clip,” or activate, the Cash Back Offer from your User Account on our website or mobile app prior to purchase, and, if requesting a Reward by submitting your purchase receipt, submit your purchase receipt within seven (7) days of the expiration of the Cash Back Offer.
- You must comply with all applicable offers terms to be eligible for a Reward. We have sole discretion to determine whether you have complied with all applicable offer terms, including the Terms herein and any terms provided with a specific Cash Back Offer, and are eligible for a Reward. We reserve the right to request additional information in order to verify the identity of the purchaser or the validity of the proof of purchase (including, without limitation, a copy of the packaging of the product along with barcode and/or the original receipt).
- Once we have determined that you are eligible for a Reward, we will distribute the Reward to you through your verified PayPal account or other payment options as we may make available from time to time. We may use Hyperwallet payment services to deliver the Reward to you, and such payment services are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify the available means for distributing Rewards.
- You must not use a payment account associated with another User Account. A single payment account cannot be connected to multiple User Accounts.
- You are solely responsible for any tax liability arising from your receipt of Rewards.
- You may not submit a purchase receipt for a product that you have returned, or intend to return, to the applicable retailer. If you return or exchange any products for which you received a Reward, you must notify Quotient via email at support@quotient.com within twenty-four (24) hours after the return or exchange. In such an event, or in the event that we discover a return or exchange of which we were not notified, we may, in our sole discretion, (a) request a return of the value of the relevant Reward; (b) terminate the User Account; or (c) both.
- If you attempt, as determined by Quotient at its sole discretion, to redeem Rewards (i) attributable to purchases that are not your own (for example, use your Customer ID in connection with purchases by non-family members), (ii) multiple times for a single purchase, (iii) by engaging in any Prohibited Conduct (see Prohibited Conduct section below) or (iv) by engaging in other abusive or fraudulent behavior, we may, at our sole discretion, (a) recover any such losses directly from you; or (b) withdraw, and you expressly authorize Quotient to withdraw, any such Rewards from your User Account, including any third party accounts to which the Rewards were transferred or otherwise credited. Additionally, we may terminate your User Account.

19. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You and Quotient agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
- Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at support@quotient.com to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
- Binding Arbitration Agreement. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to section 17A above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. Unless you have opted out as set forth below, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Consumer Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the AAA, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
The AAA’s rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of filing fees should be submitted to AAA along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary filing fees directly to AAA. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. - JURY TRIAL WAIVER.The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court. YOU AND QUOTIENT EACH AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES. The parties further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, United States of America. You and Quotient further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Santa Clara County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. - Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the preceding paragraphs by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address:
Quotient Technology, 1260 E. Stringham, Suite 600, Salt Lake City, UT 84106, Attn: General Counsel
The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the date these Terms became effective or your first use of the Services, whichever comes later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Quotient also will not be bound by them. - Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
- Exclusive Venue for Litigation. Solely to the extent the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply, or for purposes of either party seeking injunctive relief or for enforcing an award granted to it pursuant to arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in the federal district court for the Northern District of California, or, if federal subject matter jurisdiction is lacking, then in the state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. The parties expressly hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the aforesaid courts for any litigation, hereby also consent to personal jurisdiction in said courts for any litigation and waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction said courts over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) these Terms or the Services, and (b) any acts or omissions of the Company in connection with these Terms or the Services.
- Any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.
- The parties specifically exclude from application to these Terms the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. If you reside outside the United States, nothing in these Terms shall, to the extent required by applicable law that cannot be excluded by agreement, affect any rights you may have under existing consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws or other applicable laws of the country in which you reside, including any right you have to bring a claim in the courts of your home country.
- Changes to This Section – Quotient will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Arbitration and Class Action section by posting on our website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the website or sent to you.
Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you enrolled in Coupons.com Texts. - Survival - This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of these Terms, your use of the Services or your account.
20. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
You agree not to use the Services in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation or any third party right (including but not limited to intellectual property rights). You agree to comply with all export laws, restrictions, and regulations of the United States or your country of residence.
21. GENERAL
These Terms and any other electronic policies and guidelines referenced and thereby incorporated herein will be deemed to be in compliance with applicable statutory, contractual, and other legal requirements for writing and be legally enforceable as a signed writing as against the parties, and deemed an “original” and “in writing” when printed from electronic records established and maintained in the ordinary course of business. If any portion of these Terms is held invalid, you agree that such invalidity will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of these Terms. No waiver by Quotient of any breach or default of these Terms will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
