may ask Users to complete certain activities to earn Blimps. Examples
include, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following: (i) earn X
Blimps when you make Y Qualifying Purchases with a Merchant, (2)

- Qualifying Purchases: Where a Campaign defines Qualifying Actions as
including Qualifying Purchases, the following conditions and requirements
apply in order to receive Blimps for Qualifying Purchases:
- Users must link at least one eligible debit or credit card ("Payment
Card") to the Account. Please note that not all debit and credit
cards are eligible to be linked to Accounts. All determinations as to
card eligibility are at the sole discretion of City. In order to be
eligible as a Payment Card, it must be issued by a U.S. financial
institution. In addition, you may not be able to link a debit or credit
card to your Account if the card is already linked to certain other
third-party card-linked offer programs. Plaid Technologies, Inc.

institutions. By linking your Payment Card, you agree that Colu and
Plaid may view transactions made by you through the Payment
Card, and you agree that Plaid may act on your behalf to access
and transmit your personal and financial information from the
relevant financial institution. You further agree to your personal and
financial information being transferred, stored and processed by
Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy, and by
Colu in accordance with Colu's Privacy Policy.
- Blimps can only be earned for a Qualifying Purchase when the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) a User makes a purchase at a
Merchant that has been approved and designated by City in a
Campaign in the App, during any time period defined by the City in
the Campaign, and in accordance with the Campaign terms; (ii)
such purchase appears in the records of the Payment Card linked
to such User's Account as provided to Colu by Plaid, a third party
provider of payment account information; and (iii) such purchase is
subject to the identification of the underlying transaction in the
records and its verification by Colu, and (iv) such purchase is
verified prior to a Campaign reaching any disclosed limit. expiration
term or maximum participation level. City reserves the right to
require additional evidence from User to confirm the Qualifying
Purchase. In the event sufficient evidence to support the Qualifying
Purchase is not available or there is a good faith discrepancy
regarding the eligibility of the Qualifying Purchase (e.g., multiple
purchases made at same time), Blimps may not be earned by the
User for such purchase in the City's discretion.
- Tracking: Earned Blimps will usually appear in a User's Account within ten
(10) business days from the completion of Qualifying Actions as defined in
a Campaign. Users will be able to track in the App the number of Blimps
earned and awarded to their Account, as well the number of Blimps
deducted from their Account through redemption.
- User Account Limit. No more than $2,000 worth of promotional value, in
the form of Blimps or otherwise, may be associated with the Account of
any individual User on any given day. This means that the promotional
value that remains in and has been redeemed from the Account at the end
of one day, combined, may not exceed $2,000. Thus, if there are 1500
Blimps in a User Account and the User redeems 500 Blimps that day, the
User could not receive more than 500 Blimps into the Account that day.
City reserves the right to set and revise Account limits, without prior
notice.
4. Redemption
- Redeeming Merchants. Users can pay for goods and services at
Redeeming Merchants by using the App to access and redeem the
promotional value they have in their Accounts. Users may do this at
Redeeming Merchants by requesting that the Redeeming Merchant
redeem the User's Blimps and apply them toward all or part of the
purchase price of any goods or services offered by the Redeeming
Merchant. Users shall determine the amount of promotional value, in the
form of Blimps, that will be redeemed by a Redeeming Merchant in
connection with the purchase of the Redeeming Merchant's goods or
services; provided, however, that a User may not redeem Blimps in
excess of the User Account Limit described above. City reserves the right
to set and revise redemption limitations, without prior notice.
- Refunds
- There will be no cash refunds.
- Should a Qualifying Purchase transaction that resulted in Blimps
awarded to the User's Account be cancelled for any reason (e.g.,
based upon a return, charge back, dispute, or other refund request
for a Qualifying Purchase for which the User has already received
the Blimps) the Blimps balance in such User's Account may be
reduced by the amount of the rewards received for the cancelled
transaction. If the Account balance is insufficient to cover the
cancellation amount, the Account will fall into a negative status and
be credited as Blimps are earned and awarded in the future.
- Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4(b)(iii), all
redemptions of Blimps are final and irrevocable. If a transaction
that involved the redemption of Blimps is rescinded due to a
technical error of a User (including, by way of illustration and not
limitation, the inclusion of the incorrect Redeeming Merchant as
part of such transaction), then the City shall credit the appropriate
User's Account with the number of Blimps redeemed by the
Redeeming Merchant in such rescinded transaction, provided that
such error is reported to Colu within two (2) business days after
such redemption. If a transaction that involved the redemption of
Blimps is rescinded for any other reason (including, by way of
illustration and not limitation, by the return of purchased goods or
the refund of the purchase price for services rendered), or if a
User's technical error is not reported to Colu within the time period
set forth in the preceding sentence, then the terms of such
rescission shall be agreed, and any disputes relating thereto shall
be resolved, by the User and the Redeeming Merchant, and neither
the City nor Colu shall be responsible for crediting or debiting either
the User's Account or the Merchant's Accounts in connection with
such rescission.
5. Privacy

participating in the Program and Campaigns, making Qualified Purchases,
using Blimps and otherwise using the App is held and processed by Colu
in accordance with the Colu Privacy Policy.

and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by

the Program or any Terms of the Program in any manner at any time in

until the Program has ended, whichever is earlier.

- City makes no guarantees, warranties, or representations of any kind
concerning the App and services provided through the App, including the
Program except as expressly contained in these Terms. You release City
and its officers, directors, elected officials, affiliates and agents, and
Merchants from all liability regarding the earning, redemption, and use of
Blimps, including any rewards that, after receipt, may be lost, stolen, or
destroyed. Merchants are independent contractors and are not agents or
representatives of City. Redemption at a Redeeming Merchant may vary.
City is not responsible for, and assumes no liability for, the actions or
redemption responsibilities of a Redeeming Merchant. Nothing in the
Program or in these Terms is intended to create any agency, partnership
or joint venture between City and any Merchant. If any Merchant

Program, the liability of the Merchant, or of City is limited to the fair market
value of the denied benefit as determined by City or Colu.

LIMITED TO CITY'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, WILL CITY BE LIABLE FOR
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF
A REPRESENTATIVE OF CITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In the event City is held liable for
any act, error or omission related to the Program, your sole and exclusive
remedy will be limited to reimbursement for services or products you paid
for but did not receive under the Program, or the issuance of Blimps under
the Program as compensation, at City's election. You agree to waive any
claim or action of any kind in any forum that is not commenced and served
on City within two (2) years after the first occurrence of the kind of act,
event, condition or omission upon which the claim or action is based.
9. General Provisions
- Governing Law. The laws of the state of Ohio and federal law govern
these Terms and any aspect of your relationship with City under the
Program. They govern without regard to any conflicts of laws principles
that would cause the application of the substantive law of another
jurisdiction.
- Invalidity. If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, all
remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. The failure
of City to exercise any of its rights under these Terms does not constitute
a waiver of such rights in any other instance.

you and Colu are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class
action. The failure of Colu to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms
will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or are otherwise) invalid, the parties
nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties'
intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of
Service remain in full force and effect. A printed version of this agreement and of any
notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to
the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and
maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written
consent of Colu, but Colu may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in
part, without restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a
waiver of that right. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience
only and have no legal or contractual effect.
