(1) MAD Rewards has partnered with various third party online retailers, brands, merchants, stores and partners (“Stores”; each a “Store”) and provides this Cash Back Shopping Site which allows you to earn back a portion of your online shopping spending at these Stores if conducted through the Site. MAD Rewards is not the supplier of the goods and services listed in the different Stores on the Shopping Site. MAD Rewards receives compensation for referring buyers to the Stores. MAD Rewards gives a portion of this fee to members as Cash Back. Compensation received by MAD Rewards may be a consideration in whether retailers and products appear on our site, where they are placed, and how we promote them to you. Participation in our programs and the opportunity to earn Cash Back are offered at the sole discretion of MAD Rewards and subject to your compliance with these Terms.
MAD Rewards provides a link to the Store but you will conclude a purchase contract directly with the Store (see discussion of third-party links below). The identity of the Store as well as its terms and conditions are available on the website of the selected Store. A product purchased using the Site is covered by the applicable Store's return, exchange and shipping policies.
(2) MAD Rewards does not guarantee the accuracy of details listed by third-party suppliers on the Shopping Site, in particular for product descriptions, availability and prices, as these are listed completely by the third-party suppliers. Should you identify an error, please notify our Customer Service Team. After investigating the complaint, MAD Rewards will ask the respective Store to correct the error and – as the case may be – we will consider suspending the Store. In the event you find a Cash Back percentage that is unreasonably high or difficult to justify (for example 50%, 100% or 150%) MAD Rewards shall not be obligated to honour that Cash Back percentage. The unreasonably high Cash Back amount will be replaced with the correct Cash Back amount and applied to your MAD Rewards account. If you notice an unreasonably high Cash Back on our site, please contact customer service immediately.
(3) All registered users of the MAD Rewards Shopping Site earn Cash Back on their Qualified Purchases (defined hereafter) at participating Stores. If you shop through the MAD Rewards Shopping Site, whether you are a free or paid member (see Section 6) we will credit a certain percentage of the purchase amount (“Cash Back”) to your MAD Rewards account. Please note that Cash Back amounts are calculated based on the net purchase amount. The net purchase amount excludes (amongst others) taxes, fees, shipping, gift-wrapping, discounts or credits, returns or cancellations and extended warranties. MAD Rewards does not guarantee the Cash Back feature; Cash Back is only earned on Qualified Purchases. A “Qualified Purchase” is a purchase that a user has made at a Store after: (a) connecting to the Store via a designated link from the Site; or (b) opening the Mobile App and connecting to the Store via a designated link from the App; or (c) clicking on MAD Rewards’s browser extension indicator that appears when visiting a participating Store; or (d) clicking on a link in an email from MAD Rewards or its partners that goes directly to a Store; or (e) any time the MAD Rewards browser extension redirects a user back to a Store and that is in all cases (a) to (e) above subsequently properly reported to MAD Rewards by the Store and in all cases completing the purchase in that window without clicking out or opening any additional window(s). If a user is not properly logged in to the Shopping Site, Cash Back may be forfeited.
(4) With regard to Cash Back, please note the following restrictions:
- Cash Back on travel services will not be granted until the travel is completed.
- Cash Back on subscription-based products or purchases that are bundled to subscription-based products may only be granted in the first month of the subscription and only on the core component of the bundle. Setup fees, costs for included equipment and other additional costs may not be subject to a Cash Back. The purchase of stamps is not subject to Cash Back.
- Cash Back will not be calculated on proportionately included postage and/ or shipping costs and other fees respectively (e.g. handling fees).
- The assessment base for the Cash Back is net, without VAT, sales tax, GST etc.
- Cash Back may not be granted for the purchase and/or redemption of gift cards.
- MAD Rewards reserves the right to deny Cash Back if it was received in an improper or fraudulent way or in circumvention of our Terms. Please note that you must be logged in for the technical implementation of the Cash Back to work properly. Despite the use of developed technology, it is not always possible to guarantee a loss-free allocation of all purchases to your account. Should you miss any purchases, please report them by using the tab “Missing Purchase” for further investigation from the Store.
- Certain Stores exclude a limited number of products and purchases from Cash Back or have other conditions or restrictions – e.g. bulk orders.
- Additional restrictions not mentioned here may apply.
- MAD Rewards can only pay Cash Back after we have received confirmation from the relevant Affiliate Network/ Partners regarding the Qualified Purchase. You acknowledge that the Store/Affiliate Network/ Partners or its tracking agency’s decision is final in relation to the payment of any commission to us and in turn, our decision is final in relation to paying Cash Back to you. We will make all reasonable endeavours to secure the payment of commission on a transaction but we do not and cannot make any guarantee in this regard. In the event we do not receive the expected commission for a transaction for whatever reason, we will not be liable to pay the relevant Cash Back to you.
(6) MAD Rewards pays requested Cash Back 3 times per year (in April, August, and December) for free members and every month for VIP users, upon request, which request must be submitted to MAD Rewards 45 days prior to the relevant payout month . Only one withdrawal per payout month is permitted. Depending on your location, MAD Rewards may offer various payment methods and currencies. You do not have the right to use a particular payment method or currency and available methods may change without notice. The minimum amount of Cash Back eligible to be withdrawn is as follows, depending on the applicable account currency:
USD – 15
AUD – 20
EUR – 15
GBP – 12
BRL – 80
INR – 1200
You will be charged the transaction fee. The amount of time it takes to process a payment as well as the transaction fee varies depending on the selected payout option.
(7) A maximum limit per withdrawal request is also applicable. The maximum limit is dependent on the applicable account currency:
USD - 100
AUD - 150
EUR - 100
GBP - 85
BRL - 500
INR - 8000
We do not hold money in your account similar to a bank or financial institution, and legal title to any Cash Back earnings does not pass to you until you have taken possession of the Cash Back by way of a successful withdrawal from your account.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision contained in these terms and conditions, you agree and acknowledge that the payment of Cash Back to you is at our discretion and we may refuse to pay Cash Back to you for any reason.
§6.Paid Memberships

MAD Rewards reserves the right to cancel the existing VIP Rewards subscriptions temporarily or ultimately and withhold benefits associated with the VIP Rewards membership for violation of these Terms.

(6) Member authorises MAD Rewards to bill selected debit/credit card or wallet on the Effective Date (and corresponding periodic renewal dates, if applicable) for the Membership Fee due for the applicable Subscription. If, for any reason, Member’s credit/debit card declines the amount billed for the Membership Fee, Member agrees that MAD Rewards may, at its option, suspend or terminate Member’s membership and require the Member to pay all overdue amounts by other means acceptable to MAD Rewards.

§8.Order Acceptance, Payments
(1) If you purchase a VIP Rewards membership an agreement occurs only through your offer and an order acceptance by MAD Rewards. You submit your offer online and MAD Rewards declares its acceptance in an order acceptance via email to you or by delivering the service or product. An order confirmation is not an order acceptance declaration; it solely confirms that your order has been received.
(2) Depending on your location, MAD Rewards may offer various payment methods. You do not have the right to use a particular payment method and available methods may change without notice. Depending on several business factors, we may decide to process your transactions/payments with one of our banking partners located outside of your country which may result in international transaction fees or other fees which the user shall be subject to and responsible to pay.
(3) We reserve the right not to provide VIP Rewards access until we have received the purchase price (including associated costs, i.e. taxes). Furthermore, your account shall be in good standing, meaning you have no outstanding balance with us. All incoming funds will first be credited towards the outstanding balance from prior purchases and, only thereafter, towards the purchase of new products/ services.
§9.Cancellation, Termination, Inactive Accounts
(1) If you are a consumer, you may cancel your paid membership, without reasons, within seven (7) days (“Cooling-off Period”) after purchase in writing. The time limit commences when receiving the product with purchase of the license or service, respectively. Cancellation requests must be submitted online by using our contact form at https://support.savemate.com
(2) In the case of an effective cancellation under clause 9(1), we will reimburse payments for products, provided that they have not yet been used. Your right of withdrawal against the purchase of services or licenses is voided once they have been used proportionately or completely.
(3) You may terminate your free membership at any time. If you have not completed a Qualified Purchase for more than twelve (12) consecutive months, your account becomes inactive (“Inactive Account”). MAD Rewards reserves the right to debit your Cash Back balance of your Inactive Account two dollars ($2) per month to recover the cost of account maintenance until (i) you reactivate your account by completing a Qualified Purchase, or (ii) your account balance is zero. If the balance in your Inactive Account is or becomes zero, MAD Rewards may close the account permanently and cease to maintain your account records and Site access. The inactive account maintenance charge will not cause your account balance to become negative and will not cause you to owe money to MAD Rewards.
(4) In addition to taking the actions in clause 9(2), in the event of account inactivity (i.e. no Qualified Purchases occurred) for a period of 2 years (24 months) or more, MAD Rewards may terminate the account and void all previous Cash Back earnings. Accounts here-in terminated will not be reinstated and the voided transactions are permanently forfeited.
