SquareMeal Rewards Terms & Conditions

The SquareMeal Rewards Scheme ("Scheme") is operated by Monomax Limited ("Monomax").

These rules (as may be amended by Monomax from time to time) ("Rules") together with the SquareMeal Privacy Policy and the terms governing use of the SquareMeal website govern the SquareMeal Rewards Scheme and set out the terms of the contract between Monomax and each individual participant who has registered to participate in the Scheme on the site ("Participant" and "Participants" shall be construed accordingly) and constitute the entire agreement between Monomax and each Participant in relation to the Scheme. Participation in the Scheme is strictly subject to these Rules.

All Participants in the Scheme must be 18 years or older on the date on which the relevant Participant registers to participate in the Scheme and must have a resident UK, Channel Island, Isle of Man or Republic of Ireland address and must notify Monomax of any change of address. Monomax may in its absolute discretion refuse to allow any individual to participate in the Scheme.

Under the Scheme, Monomax will set up a SquareMeal Rewards account for each Participant ("Account") to record points which have been earned and/or used by the Participant ("Points") in exchange for certain specific rewards or benefits identified from time to time on the Scheme website ("Rewards"). Rewards must be redeemed by means of vouchers issued to qualifying Participants by Monomax ("Vouchers").

Subject always to these Rules, Monomax will be responsible for processing the allocation and redemption of Points for Vouchers. Monomax may change and will endeavour to give the Participant notice of any change to these Rules. Any change will be applicable to all Participants from the date and time such revised Rules have been posted on the Scheme site. A Participant’s continued participation in the Scheme by earning Points and redeeming Points for Rewards will constitute acceptance of the Rules as amended.

Monomax has third party sponsors ("Sponsors") through whom or which a Participant earns Points. Monomax will award Points when a Sponsor notifies Monomax that a Participant has undertaken a relevant transaction with the Sponsor. The Sponsor determines the transactions with it in respect of which Points can be earned. Monomax may also award Points based on the specific qualifying actions of Participants in connection with activities promoted by Monomax on the Scheme website from time to time. Monomax issues Vouchers for Rewards in exchange for valid Points held in an Account. Participants in the Scheme will only be entitled to earn Points in accordance with the Scheme if the Scheme remains open and:

• (1) they have booked a table at a Sponsor restaurant using the online booking facility on the Scheme website ("Booking") and they have honoured and paid for a meal in accordance with the Booking and the Sponsor restaurant at which such Booking was made has notified Monomax that Points are to be credited to the Participant’s Account; or
• (2) Monomax is satisfied in its absolute discretion that the Participant has met other criteria for the award of Points which may from time to time be specified on the Scheme website or
• (3) they have made a qualifying purchase through the SquareMeal card-lining offers program – see below.

Monomax has third party suppliers of goods and/or services ("Suppliers") with whom or which Participants can exchange a Voucher for Rewards.

Suppliers and Sponsors may change from time to time and a list of the Suppliers and Sponsors will be available on the Scheme website.

Under the Scheme, Points are earned or redeemed based on transactions which are made directly with the relevant Sponsor or Supplier (as the case may be) ("Transactions"). Neither Monomax nor any affiliated company shall have any responsibility for the quality, fitness for purpose, delivery or standard of any goods or services received by or supplied to a Participant under the Scheme. Transactions with Suppliers and Sponsors and all Points and Rewards are subject to applicable laws and the terms and conditions of the relevant Sponsor or Supplier. When a Participant exchanges a Voucher for a Reward, the agreement is between the Participant and the Supplier of the Reward and will be subject to that Supplier’s terms and conditions.

All Rewards are subject to availability, even if a Voucher may have already been issued to a Participant to exchange for against a Reward.

It is not possible to redeem Points until Points have been credited to the Participant’s Account. Points will only be credited to an Account if Monomax has been notified by the Sponsor of the number of Points to be credited or Monomax is satisfied in its absolute discretion that the Participant has met other criteria for the award of Points which may from time to time be specified on the Scheme website.

There may be some delay before Monomax receives notification from a Sponsor. Monomax is not responsible for any error, delay or failure by a Sponsor to notify Monomax of the Points to be credited to any Account.

Points credited to an Account will expire one year from the date they are credited to that Account or the date of closure of the Scheme, whichever is the earlier. Any Voucher issued by Monomax in exchange for Points will expire on the expiry date set out on it or the date of closure of the Scheme, whichever is the earlier. The issue of the Voucher will also be subject to any other terms and conditions stated on the Voucher or otherwise publicised.

The Monomax cookie policy is used to identify whether the Participant has visited the Scheme website in the past and helps to personalise the service to the Participant. A participant may opt out of the particular service by following the unsubscribe link on any of the Monomax newsletters.

Subject to these Rules, the Scheme will remain open unless otherwise notified by Monomax and Points, Vouchers and Rewards will be available to be earned and redeemed. Monomax will endeavour to give notice of the closure of the Scheme.

Under the Scheme, Points, Vouchers can be used only once. Once issued, a Voucher may not be exchanged back for Points. If prior to use a Voucher is lost, stolen or damaged, Monomax may in its absolute discretion issue a replacement Voucherv. If a Transaction in respect of which Points have been issued or redeemed is cancelled, reversed or not completed Monomax may re-credit the associated Points to the relevant Participant’s Account if and when instructed to do so by the relevant Sponsor or Supplier.

No Points, Vouchers or Rewards have any joint or several cash value and cannot in any circumstances be exchanged for cash or for any other benefit or reward.

Further, Points are personal to the Participant and may not be sold, transferred or assigned to, or shared with, family, friends or any other person.

Neither Points nor Rewards nor Vouchers may be sold or traded. Vouchers may be freely given by a Participant to a third party to use provided always that the Participant shall upon request by Monomax be able to verify the identity of the third party purporting to redeem a Voucher for a Reward. Monomax shall have no responsibility for the behaviour, conduct or actions of any Participant or any such third party.

Monomax reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to terminate a Participant’s Account where no Points have been earned or redeemed for a continuous period of 12 months or more.

Monomax can close with immediate effect the Account of any Participant in the Scheme if it believes (1) that the Participant concerned has violated these Rules; or (2) that the use of the Participant’s Account is unauthorised, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful; or (3) that there is evidence of any theft from or misconduct in connection with Monomax or any Sponsor or Supplier; or (4) that the Participant has supplied or intends to supply false or misleading information to or about Monomax or any Sponsor or any Supplier; or (5) that the Participant has been abusive or offensive to Monomax or about Monomax or Sponsor or Supplier staff.

Under the Scheme, a Participant can close an Account at any time by notifying Monomax either in writing or via the Scheme website. If an Account is closed, the Participant loses the right to earn or redeem Points and all Rewards are lost.

In the event that the Scheme or any part of it is sold or transferred to another company or entity or person, Monomax may transfer all its rights and obligations under the Scheme without seeking any further consent and may disclose or transfer all information held about the Participant to a prospective or actual transferee.

Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Scheme or these Rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. In the event of any conflict between these Rules and any other promotional communications made by Monomax in relation to the Scheme, these Rules shall prevail.

These Rules contain Monomax’s only responsibilities in relation to the Scheme. Monomax’s only liability will be to any Participant who suffers loss arising as a direct result of Monomax’s breach of these Rules, any such liability to be limited to crediting such Participant’s Account with any Points which have been wrongly deducted or which should have been credited but have not been. Liability for death or personal injury caused by Monomax’s negligence is not limited or excluded by these Rules.

SquareMeal card-linking offers program

If you have created a SquareMeal account and registered a debit or credit card you can earn Points via the SquareMeal card-linking offers program ("CLOP").

You will only receive Points when the following criteria are met:

You have a valid Account with SquareMeal.

You have registered one or more Visa, Mastercard or American Express debit or credit cards to your Account.

You make a qualifying purchase(s) in a SquareMeal CLOP Sponsor. A qualifying purchase is one that matches all the criteria as laid out on the Sponsor’s page on the Sites. These criteria will vary from Sponsor to Sponsor and from time to time.

When you have made a qualifying transaction, your Points will be shown as "Pending" in your Account. When SquareMeal receives the transaction data via Fidel Ltd confirming the qualifying purchase the Points will become "Available" for you to use. This can take up to 30 days.

SquareMeal, with your consent, receives the transaction data from third parties, namely Fidel, Visa, American Express or Mastercard. SquareMeal does not receive your card information, instead it receives a token that is associated with your account. We receive the transaction information from Fidel when you make a purchase on a registered card at one of our CLOP Sponsors. This will include transaction amount, location, date and time. See our Privacy policy for more details on how we handle this data.

On rare occasions SquareMeal might not receive the transaction data from the third parties named above. This data is required to verify the transaction before SquareMeal points can be issued. Therefore, unfortunately no Points will be allocated in cases where the transaction data is not available. SquareMeal accepts no responsibility or liability, and reserves the right not to allocate any Points if it is unable to verify the transaction.

We reserve the right to reclaim or adjust any Points in the event that they have been allocated in error.

You agree and acknowledge that in all circumstances the allocation of Points and rewards to you via SquareMeal CLOP is at our sole discretion and we may refuse to issue Points or rewards to you for any reason.
