Purchases must not use coupons provided by any party other than Deals Rebates. Purchases from "Coupons Only" and "No Discount" Affiliated Merchants are not deemed a "Qualified Purchase".
7. The determination of whether or not a purchase made through an Deals Rebates Affiliated Store is a "Qualified Purchase" is at the sole discretion of Deals Rebates. All cash back rewards earned by Members are subject to review. Necessary adjustments may be applied to Member accounts at any time by Deals Rebates at its sole discretion. If you do not agree to adjustments made to your account, your only recourse will be to terminate your membership in the Program. Deals Rebates reserves the right to terminate any account for abusive or fraudulent activity, or if the Member is no longer reachable at the e-mail address provided.

Cash back rewards awarded to Members are subject to adjustments for returns, cancellations, and other events. Such adjustments can be applied to Member accounts at any time by Deals Rebates at its sole discretion. Should you disagree with any adjustments made to your account, your sole remedy is to withdraw from the Program.
9. You may be taxed on your accrual of cash back rewards, depending on the amount of cash back rewards you accrue and the tax laws of federal, provincial/state, and local jurisdictions. Deals Rebates may choose to provide you with those notices to you on occasion. In all instances, you will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your accrual or redemption of cash back rewards.
10. There are a limited number of purchases that are not eligible for accrual or payment of cash back rewards. We do our best to maintain an up-to-date list on our cash back exclusions page. Please note that affiliated stores regularly change policies and if an affiliated store fails to report a transaction to Deals Rebates, or withholds payment to Deals Rebates for a particular transaction for any reason, Deals Rebates reserves the right to cancel the cash back reward associated with that transaction.
11. It is your responsibility to check your account regularly to ensure that cash back rewards have been properly credited and that your account balance is accurate.

Please note that orders from certain merchants cannot be paid according to the typical schedule and must be held for 75-90 days following purchase based on the Affiliated Store return and commission policy. We do our best to maintain a list of stores whose payment policies delay our ability to pay members cash back on our delayed cash back page. Deals Rebates reserves the right to delay payment based on changes to store return and commission procedures at any time.
15. It is your responsibility to keep your account information current in order to facilitate the payment of your cash back rewards. In the event that your information is not current at the time of payment, you forfeit all accrued cash back rewards to Deals Rebates.
