My Birthday Bonus Terms of Service
Effective 2026-08-03 · Version mbb-v1.0
Summary (not a substitute for the full Terms). My Birthday Bonus is a technology platform that local businesses use to send birthday rewards to their own customers by email. Rewards come from the business, not from us. Section 14 requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives class actions — but you may opt out within 30 days and keep your right to sue. We do not send text messages.
1. Agreement and Assent
These Terms form a binding contract between you and Joy Station LLC, which operates My Birthday Bonus (“My Birthday Bonus,” “we,” “us”). You accept them by checking the acceptance box presented to you at signup. We record the version of these Terms you accepted and the date and time of acceptance.
You also consent to receive these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and other notices relating to the Service in electronic form — by posting on this site or by email to the address you enrolled with. You may withdraw that consent by unsubscribing, which ends your participation.
2. What the Service Is
We provide software that lets independent businesses (“Participating Businesses”) run birthday-reward programs for their own customers. We are not a party to any offer. The Participating Business sets, funds, and honors every reward. Disputes about an offer, a redemption, or any goods or services are between you and that business. We will provide reasonable assistance in identifying the business and forwarding a complaint.
Your relationship with the Participating Business is governed by that business's own program terms, which are separate from these Terms.
3. Eligibility
You must reside in the United States and maintain a valid U.S. mailing address. You must be 18 or older to enroll on your own. If you are 13 to 17, a parent or legal guardian must accept these Terms on your behalf and supervise your participation.
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have, we will delete it. To request deletion, write to us at the address in Section 19.
4. Email Communications and Consent
What you are agreeing to receive. Recurring emails from the Participating Business, sent through our platform, containing birthday rewards and related program messages. Typical frequency is a small number of messages per year.
Withdrawing consent. Every message contains a one-click unsubscribe link and honors the RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe standard. You may also write to us at the address in Section 19. We process unsubscribes within two (2) business days.
An unsubscribe is global for that program. It stops all My Birthday Bonus messages sent on behalf of that business.
Consent is not a condition of purchase. Declining or withdrawing consent does not affect your ability to buy goods or services from any Participating Business.
5. We Do Not Send Text Messages
My Birthday Bonus does not send text messages, and we do not ask for or claim any consent to send them. Accepting these Terms is not consent to receive SMS or any other automated calls or texts. If we ever introduce text messaging, we will first obtain separate, affirmative, prior express written consent that is not bundled with any other agreement and is not a condition of purchase; we will disclose the program, the message frequency, and that message and data rates may apply; and we will honor STOP and HELP.
6. Acceptable Use
Do not: enroll anyone but yourself (or a minor in your care, as permitted by Section 3); submit false information or another person's information; enroll repeatedly to obtain duplicate rewards; use bots or automated access; attempt to breach security or access another person's data; or resell or transfer rewards. We may suspend access or void rewards for violations, with notice and an opportunity to respond where practicable.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy is part of these Terms.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use it for our own marketing and we do not disclose it to any other Participating Business.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold. Because we handle member information on behalf of the Participating Business you enrolled with, the fastest route for most requests is that business. You may also write to us at the address in Section 19 and we will acknowledge your request and route it appropriately. See the Privacy Policy for detail.
8. Data Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we do not warrant absolute security.
9. Intellectual Property
We and our licensors own the Service. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use it for personal purposes. Participating Businesses own their own trademarks and content.
10. Feedback
If you send us suggestions, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them without obligation. You retain ownership of your feedback.
11. Rewards
Rewards have no cash value, are non-transferable, are void where prohibited, and expire according to their stated terms. We are not responsible for a reward that is not delivered or not received because of spam filtering, a full or closed mailbox, an outdated address, or the act of any email provider — though we will make reasonable efforts to re-send on request.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or that any particular message will be delivered.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA.
Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100).
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or personal injury caused by us. Some states do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.
14. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ. THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
(a) Informal resolution first
Before starting arbitration, send a written Notice of Dispute to us at the address in Section 19, describing the claim and the relief sought. We will do the same. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days. This period tolls any applicable limitations period. Either party may instead pursue an individual claim in small claims court at any time.
(b) Arbitration
If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, including (where applicable) the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules. Arbitration is conducted by a neutral arbitrator, is less formal than court, and the arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, including statutory damages and statutory attorneys' fees where a statute provides them.
(c) Where
Arbitration will take place in the county where you reside, or — at your election — by telephone, by video, or on documents only.
(d) Fees
We will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any claim, except that if the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous, fees may be reallocated under the AAA rules. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees unless a statute or the arbitrator's award provides otherwise.
(e) Class action waiver
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it.
(f) Public injunctive relief
This Section 14 does not apply to a claim for public injunctive relief — that is, injunctive relief brought for the primary benefit of the general public rather than for you individually. Any such claim is excluded from arbitration and from subsection (e) from the outset, and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If a claim for public injunctive relief is brought together with other claims, the other claims proceed in arbitration under this Section and the public-injunctive claim is stayed in court until the arbitration concludes. This carve-out operates on its own terms and does not depend on any court first holding subsection (e) unenforceable.
(g) Non-severability of the class waiver
If subsection (e) is found unenforceable as to any claim, the entirety of this Section 14 is void as to that claim and it proceeds in court. Every other provision of this Section, and of these Terms, remains severable and in force.
(h) 30-day right to opt out
You may reject this Section 14 by writing to us at the address in Section 19 — subject line or heading “Arbitration Opt-Out” — with your name and the email address you enrolled with, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms and will not affect your participation in any program.
(i) Limitations period
Claims must be brought within the period allowed by applicable law. We do not shorten it.
(j) Survival
This Section survives termination of your participation and of these Terms.
15. Governing Law and Venue
The Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 14. Otherwise these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any action not subject to Section 14 will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Greenville County, South Carolina. Nothing here limits any non-waivable consumer protection right you have under the law of the state where you reside.
16. Changes to These Terms
We review and update these Terms periodically. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice by email to the address associated with your enrollment and by posting the update here. Changes apply prospectively only. Material changes to Section 14 will not apply to disputes of which we already have notice. If you do not agree, unsubscribe before the effective date.
17. Termination
You may leave at any time by unsubscribing. We may suspend or terminate your participation for breach of these Terms, for legal or security reasons, or if we discontinue the Service, with notice where practicable.
18. Miscellaneous
Severability — if any provision is unenforceable it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the rest remains in effect, subject to the express exception in Section 14(g). No waiver — our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Assignment — you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor in interest. Force majeure. Entire agreement — these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. Headings are for convenience only. Notices to you may be given by email to your enrollment address.
