4. Yippiebates Membership to Earn Cash Back
As a user of the Yippiebates website, you have the option to become a Yippiebates Member (referred to herein as "Member"). Membership gives the Member the opportunity to utilize our Cash Back Program (referred to herein as "Program") to earn cash back on his/her own personal purchases as well as cash back on the purchases of those members whom the Member has referred to, and whom have signed up for Membership with, Yippiebates. Cash back is paid by Yippiebates and is separate from, and may be in addition to, online coupons and coupon codes displayed on the Yippiebates website which are discounted from orders processed by Merchants. This section describes how the Program works, the rights and responsibilities of The User, and rights and responsibilities of Yippiebates with respect to the Program.
a. The Program
The Program allows Members to shop at Participating Merchant Stores (herein referred to as "Participating Merchants") and earn cash back on non-restricted items. This is a free service to our Members and Members are under no obligation to participate or earn cash back. Cash back is earned when a member makes a qualifying online purchase from a Participating Merchant whose site was accessed through a link on the Yippiebates website. Some Participating Merchants have additional requirements and/or restrictions which can be viewed on the Participating Merchant's store page on the Yippiebates website. You can access any Participating Merchant's store page by clicking on their store name on the "Stores" tab on the Yippiebates homepage.
Certain Affiliate Stores exclude a limited number of products and purchases from the Program. Yippiebates does its best to minimize and maintain an up-to-date list of exclusions on the Yippiebates website. Additionally, to earn Cash Back, you must complete your purchase during the same shopping session you start after clicking on the Yippiebates link. If you visit other sites before completing your purchase or use coupons not provided by Yippiebates, your purchase might be associated with a service other than Yippiebates and you might not earn cash back on your purchase. If you disable 'cookies' on your computer you will not be able to earn Cash Back as cookies are used to authenticate the user and be certain Cash Back is assigned to the Member account.
b. Cash Back Eligibility
The Member must make a qualifying purchase on a Participating Merchant's website through a link on the Yippiebates website. In order to do this you must satisfy at least the following:
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Reside in the USA
- Have "Cookies" enabled on your web browser
- Login to the Yippiebates website with your login credentials prior to clicking a link
- Click a "Shop Now", merchant name, or coupon links for a Participating Merchant
- Add non-restricted item(s) to your shopping cart
- Checkout to complete your transaction
The determination of whether or not a purchase made through a Participating Merchant qualifies for Cash back is at the discretion of Yippiebates and the Participating Merchant. Yippiebates is not responsible for purchase tracking problems resulting from, but not limited to, the incorrect usage of the Yippiebates website, disabling "cookies" on your web browser, computer problems, errors or omissions by a Participating Merchant, or any other reason for the disruption of purchase tracking.
c. Member Account
Upon completion of the member registration process an account will be set up for you on the Yippiebates website for all cash back that you earn. Yippiebates pays cash back on a quarterly basis. The dates covered by each quarter and their respective check processing dates are as follows:
| Purchase Period | Payment Date (on or before) |
| Jan 1st to March 31st | May 15th |
| Apr 1st to June 30th | Aug 15th |
| July 1st to Sept 30th | Nov 15th |
| Oct 1st to Dec 31st | Feb 15th |
If the balance in your account at the end of the quarter is less than $10.00 then payment will be postponed and the balance will stay in your account and carry over into the next quarter. At present, mailed printed checks and Paypal are our current methods of payment. You can view your account balances by logging in to your account.
Any cash back payments via check that are not deposited, or via Paypal that are not accepted, within two years from date of payment will be forfeited.
d. Cash Back
Cash back may not be assigned or transferred to any third party except if given permission in writing from a Yippiebates officer. The sale, transfer, lending, exchange, pooling, or barter of any cash back in your Yippiebates account is expressly prohibited. Any cash back transferred to a third party in any way is in violation of this Agreement and said cash back may be confiscated or cancelled. Cash back has no cash value until it is deducted from your Yippiebates Account for payment to you.
e. Termination of Program
Yippiebates reserves the right to terminate the Program in part or in whole at any time without notice. In the event that the Program is terminated, payment for the remaining balance in Members' accounts will be made on the next scheduled quarterly payment date.
f. Responsibilities

Members are responsible for regularly reviewing their account balances to verify their accuracy and that all cash back has been appropriately posted. If a Member finds a discrepancy in his/her account then Yippiebates must be notified within 90 days of the order date to ensure we can resolve the issue. If Yippiebates is not notified within said time then the order shall be deemed accurate and the Member hereby waives any rights to dispute said order.
