By agreeing to these terms, you also agree not to 'spam' unknown individuals by sending them unwanted or unsolicited emails to solicit their membership or participation at McNOPOLY.com's McSHOPPING Mall. Refusal to abide by this or any other rules may result in us stripping you of interest and referral/affiliate program credits and/or canceling your membership, though all accumulated rebates will be paid in accordance with our withdrawal policy upon cancellation of any account. 4. You will be credited, subject to the terms and conditions enumerated in this Agreement, a percentage of the net purchases made by you at one of the online participating merchants at McNOPOLY.com. The percentage will be enumerated on McNOPOLY.com's McSHOPPING Mall Web site through the participating Merchant. The net purchase is defined as the total amount paid to the merchant minus tax, gift wrapping, shipping, promotional credits, returns, cancellations, and transaction fees or as the Participating Merchant defines on their respective Web site and as is enumerated in their respective Participating Membership and/or Operating Agreement document, whichever is less. All Participating Merchant Membership and/or Operating Agreements as they relate to their affiliate or partner programs with McNOPOLY.com and which reside on the Participating Merchant's respective Web sites are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. 5. McNOPOLY.com reserves the right to terminate or disable any membership if that Member has been inactive for a period of 12 consecutive months. "Inactive" shall be defined as lack of any Member-initiated cash-earning or -redemption transaction. Member will be notified at the last known contact address prior to termination and given an opportunity to maintain the active status of the account. 6. As a Member, purchases made through McNOPOLY.com Participating Merchants will be deemed a "Qualified Purchase" and will be subject to earn a rebate if and only if all of the following criteria are satisfied: 1) "Cookies" must be enabled on your Web browser as discussed in paragraph 5a. 2) The transaction was initiated by clicking on the participating Merchant's link that appears on the McSHOPPING Mall Web site and being successfully connected to the Participating Merchant's Web site based upon that click. 3) The purchase must be completed during the same "session" immediately following a click through to the Participating Merchant's Web site. A "session" is defined as the time period that begins when Criteria #2 is completed and ends when a purchase is made at the Participating Merchant without an "intervening event". An intervening event is defined as any of the following and is deemed to have occurred anytime between Criteria #2 and purchase of a product or products on the Participating Merchant's Web site: the Member being disconnected from the Internet for any reason or from any cause; the Member closing their web browser software prior to completing a purchase in the same session; a Member bookmarking a web page and then subsequently returning to that bookmark to complete the purchase; a Member leaving an Participating Merchant's Web site prior to completing a purchase in the same session whether or not the next web page visited is an Participating Merchant; any other event which causes an interruption between Criteria #2 and purchase of a product or products on the Participating Merchant's Web site that results in the Participating Merchant not forwarding a percentage of the sale to McNOPOLY.com. 7.

You will be credited a rebate which we receive from the Participating Merchant subject to the following exceptions: 1) In the case that an Participating Merchant pays McNOPOLY.com a different percentage of the net purchase price based upon the aggregate net purchases made during a finite period of time delineated by the Participating Merchant. 2) Should the Participating Merchant withhold a portion of your rebate for any reason whatsoever, McNOPOLY.com will withhold the exact same percentage from your rebate for the Qualified Purchase. 12. Certain purchases are not eligible for accrual or payment of rebates in accordance with our Participating Merchant's Agreement with the Participating Merchant.

Purchases made by Gift Certificate may not be eligible for payment of rebates; this is at the discretion of the Participating Merchant. 13.
