Active Junky Cash Back Shopping Program
ActiveJunky.com (AJ) provides members with the ability to earn cash back on any purchases completed through one of our 100+ retail partners. You can become a member via Facebook login or a unique account, which requires only an email address and password. You don't need any software to use our site; it's purely Internet-based. AJ is awarded a commission for referring its members to its partner retailers and AJ uses that commission to reward its members. To learn more about our cash back program, keep on reading. Once you start using AJ, you'll realize how awesome it is.
Becoming a Member
If you log in via Facebook or create a unique account and become a part of our community (Member), you are accepting these Terms of Service (Terms of Service) and are bound to it. The Terms of Service are supplemental to the Purch Terms of Use (the Purch Terms of Use, together with these Terms of Service, are collectively referred to as the User Agreement), to which you also agree to be bound by becoming a Member. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and the Purch Terms of Use, these Terms of Service will govern. To become a member, click Sign Up on any AJ page and enter your email address and create a password. You can also join by linking your Facebook account. You need to provide an email address (Facebook or otherwise) so that AJ can alert you when you have earned cash back (Cash Back). To be a Member you must be at least eighteen years old and you may not use the AJ site to execute any illegal activity. And just so you know, AJ has complete jurisdiction here, therefore AJ has the right to change the terms of this Agreement at any time, in parts or in its entirety, with or without notification to you.
Personal Information
AJ uses your personal information to track your purchases and send you Cash Back. Please check out our privacy policy for more information regarding how we use, collect, store and share your information.
Earning Cash Back
It's pretty easy to earn Cash Back. You find what you want on the AJ site, and by clicking from ActiveJunky.com to one of our affiliate websites, AJ can trace your purchase and give you cash money. The exact amount of Cash Back that you earn depends on each product that you purchase, and AJ will notify you of how much each product is worth in terms of Cash Back. Be aware that your Cash Back amount is based on your net purchase. This excludes tax, fees, shipping, gift-wrapping, and warranties. Some of our partners exclude products from the Cash Back Program and AJ will do its best to update its databases accordingly. In order to earn Cash Back you must complete your purchase directly after clicking from AJ. If you visit other sites in between or are not signed into AJ when making your purchase, AJ might not be able to trace your activity and therefore will not award you Cash Back. Make sure your "cookies" are enabled before making purchases; it is the tool that allows AJ to identify and attribute your purchase to your Member account. In order to be eligible to receive a cash back payment, you must earn more than $5 worth of Cash Back. Your balance will remain in your account until you reach this amount.
Earning Bonuses & Other Rewards
AJ sometimes offers incentives in the form of monetary or other bonuses for becoming a Member, attracting new Members, or any other action AJ creates. If the terms and conditions of such incentives differ from the User Agreement, AJ will specifiy how the terms and conditions foare different from this User Agreement at the point where such incentives are offered. AJ creates these incentives with the intention of generating new Members.
