Last Updated: January 12, 2022
PLEASE READ THESE PROGRAM TERMS CAREFULLY. BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE PROGRAM TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, INCLUDING STAKE’S TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY.
- ELIGIBILITY AND OVERVIEW
1.1 The Stake Return on Rent™ Loyalty Program (the “Program”) and associated loyalty rebates (“Rewards”) are offered at the sole discretion of Stake Network Inc. (“Stake” or “we”) to lessees of apartments operated by third parties that have compensated Stake to enroll named lessee or lessees in the Program for a contractual period of time. Your participation in the Program is subject to all present and future Stake terms and conditions, including the Stake Return on Rent™ Loyalty Program Terms and Conditions (collectively the “Program Terms”). These Program Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services. Program Terms are void to the extent prohibited by law.
1.2 Membership in the Program is open to individuals who are legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in the jurisdiction of residence, whichever is older, for their personal use only, and is limited to one (1) membership per individual. Corporations, associations, or other groups may not participate in the Program. Employees of Stake are not eligible to participate in the Program. Stake reserves the right at any time to limit the number of participants in the Program. Accrual of Rewards is contingent upon third party sponsorship of participants in the Program.
1.3 By joining the Program and becoming a Program member (“Member” or “you”), you agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Program Terms and by any changes or modifications we may make. You should review these Program Terms and the related Program FAQ’S frequently in order to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Program, as these may change from time to time. Further by becoming a Member, you also agree to be bound by our website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- ENROLLMENT
2.1 Individuals may enroll in the Program by leasing an apartment whereby the owner or operator has compensated Stake to include the lessee or lessees in the Stake Program (a “Stake Home”) for a determined period of time, accepting the Program Terms and downloading the Stake Mobile Application (“Stake App”). Only one (1) membership may be associated with a single email address or telephone number. In the event of a dispute over membership and for the purposes of these Program Terms, the Member is the natural person who is listed as a lessee of the Stake Home enrolled in the program and assigned to the submitted phone number by a telecommunications provider. Your enrollment in the Program does not change or alter, in anyway, your lease agreement with your apartment owner or manager.
2.2 You are required to provide your full name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, and banking information to begin earning rewards. You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy and privacy of the information provided and for updating it as required. To redeem Rewards (as defined below), you must have a valid physical address and banking instructions linked to your membership.
- PARTICIPATION AND BENEFITS
3.1 The Program is a way in which third party property owners and operators reward customers for living in a Stake Home. You may earn Rewards by paying rent on time and additional rewards (“Bonus” or “Bonuses”) by transferring less than 20% of the lifetime Rewards earned to a bank account associated with the Program. Stake may also, at its sole discretion, provide additional Rewards in connection with certain transactions and promotions. Rewards are subject to change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Information regarding qualifying purchases and other actions are communicated through other media (e.g., direct mail, marketing communications, social media, etc.).
3.2 Rewards earned through the Program are non-negotiable and can only be redeemed, either in whole or in part, for cash according to the redemption value stated in the mobile application. Redemption of Rewards to the Stake Consumer Deposit Account are governed by Stake Consumer Deposit Account Agreement, Cardholder Terms and Conditions, and the Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions. All Rewards remain the possession of Stake until such time they are redeemed. A Member may only accumulate the Reward by paying rent for a Stake Home. If you do not make rent payments in accordance with the terms of your lease or obtain Rewards through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Program Terms, the activity will be automatically deducted from your Rewards balance. Rewards do not constitute property of any Member or any other person and may not be brokered, bartered, pledged, gifted, sold, or otherwise transferred, other than by Stake or as otherwise expressly provided for in these Program Terms, and any receipt or use of Rewards in violation of these Program Terms will render such Rewards void. Rewards and electronic access to Rewards may not be shared or combined. Rewards must be redeemed before the end of the eligible lease's term
3.3 Stake reserves the right to change Program Terms and how we evaluate each qualifying rent payment and/or action. We further reserve the right to place limits on the number of actions that are eligible for the Program.
3.4 If you have concerns that a rent payment or other action was not properly applied to your membership, you should contact Stake at hello@stake.rent. Your email must specify your name, address, phone number, and email address associated with your membership, the date of the action, and the issue(s) you encountered. This email must be sent within forty-five (45) days after the action took place.
3.5 You may redeem Rewards by logging into the Stake app. Rewards redeemed for cash must be sent to the bank account specified upon enrollment. Rewards redemptions will be deducted from the total available Rewards. Credits from multiple memberships may not be aggregated unless authorized by Stake. You are solely responsible for any tax liability, including disclosure, related to your participation in the Program.
- COMMUNICATIONS
4.1 By joining the Program, you consent to receive communication, including reward confirmations, from Stake electronically and agree that such electronic communication satisfies any legal requirements that such communications be in writing. You will be automatically subscribed to receive, and you consent to receive Program emails, including Program marketing emails, from us and/or our partners. Such emails include, but are not limited to, a Program welcome email, redemption confirmation email, membership update email, or other communications that relate to your membership.
4.2 You may opt-out of the Program at any time as set forth in Section 5.5 of these Program Terms; however, you may still receive emails relating to your Stake membership.
- TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION
5.1 Membership may be revoked by Stake, in its sole discretion, at any time. Any abuse of the Program; failure to follow Program Terms; misrepresentation; or conduct that may be detrimental to Stake or our interests may result in the revocation of your membership and make you ineligible for further participation in the Program. If, in our sole discretion, we suspect fraud, misrepresentation, abuse, or violation of these Program Terms, we also have the right to take appropriate legal action.
5.2 If Stake terminates the Program or your membership is revoked, Stake may terminate your access to the Program and its features at Stake’s sole discretion.
5.3 Qualifying payments and actions, as reflected in Stake’s records, shall be deemed correct, and Stake reserves the right to determine the qualification for any transaction.
5.4 If you decide you no longer want to be part of the Program, you may cancel your membership at any time by contacting Stake Customer Service at hello@stake.rent. Your email must specify your name, address, phone number, and email address associated with your membership, and confirm that you wish to be removed from the Program. It may take up to ten (10) business days for your cancellation to be completed.
