Terms & Conditions
1. Program Overview
Welcome to Viggle! These terms and conditions govern the Viggle Loyalty Program. The Program allows you to get points every time you perform a qualifying action using the Viggle service. You can use these points to obtain rewards.
Please take a moment to review these Program Terms and Conditions carefully. By using the Viggle service, you agree to be bound by these Program terms and conditions, the Viggle Terms of Use and the Viggle Privacy Policy. Please click the link to review the Viggle Terms of Use and Viggle Privacy Policy.
2. Eligibility
All legal residents of the United States (including Puerto Rico) who are at least 13 years of age are eligible to participate in the Program. In order to participate in the Program, you should enroll with a valid email address, and maintain an active Viggle account.
An individual person may only have one Viggle account. If we have a reasonable belief that multiple Viggle accounts are registered to the same individual, we may suspend or terminate any duplicate Viggle accounts, and also suspend or terminate your participation in the Program. In addition, only one individual person may be registered to a Viggle account.
An individual may use his or her account on up to five different devices, but an individual may only be logged into one device at a time.
Employees of Viggle and its affiliates and partners, and each of their immediate family members and individuals living in the same households of each of these individuals, are eligible to participate in the Program, but these individuals may not participate in any sweepstakes or instant wins offered through the Program. We reserve the right to determine whether any particular user is eligible to participate in the Program.
3. ENROLLING IN THE PROGRAM
To enroll in the Program, please download and install our mobile app or, if the Program is available through our Viggle.com website, access the Viggle.com website. After doing so, you can register for a Viggle account by providing a valid email address, choosing a unique user name and password and providing other information we need in order to open your Viggle account.
By enrolling in the Program, you agree that you will keep your user name and password secure and confidential and keep your Viggle account information updated and accurate and that you will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Viggle account. We will deem any activity occurring through your Viggle account to be your actions, and you agree that we may rely upon such actions.
Other than the third party processing fees that may be applicable to redeeming certain Rewards or otherwise disclosed to you, there are no fees to enroll or participate in the Program, though we reserve the right to charge fees in the future for use of the Viggle service.
4. ACCUMULATING POINTS
After enrolling, you can start getting points by completing actions that allow you to qualify for points, as we indicate from time to time. These actions may include:
- Doing a “check-in” while watching a qualifying program. A qualifying program is a television program, commercial or other media in the Viggle database for which check-ins are available.
- Viewing qualifying programs (up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours per day)
- Referring new users to the Program
- Completing certain actions in social media
- Completing other actions that we may make available from time to time, such as completing surveys, watching a game or other actions.
- Redeeming a reward
All unredeemed points will expire if no qualifying action has been made from your Viggle account for twelve (12) consecutive months.
We may also place limits on points from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. For example, we may place limits on points you may accumulate in a day, or we may place limits on the number of times you may accumulate points for performing the same engagement.
You may only receive points for checking-in from certain sources, including live television, television recorded by DVR or official Viggle channels such as videos on the Viggle application.
We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether a particular action qualifies for points. We also reserve the right to offer different users of the Viggle service different quantities of points for the same qualifying action. We also offer certain point-earning opportunities, offers or rewards to certain users without offering them to all users. For example, we may offer certain users particular rewards based on their viewing history, their location or the rewards they have chosen in the past.
Points that are validly obtained will generally post to your Viggle account within several hours of a qualifying action, but in some cases it may take longer. You can view the points balance in your account and your redemption activity by signing in to your Viggle account.
Points obtained or accumulated are and will at all times remain our property. Points have no cash or other value, except to obtain rewards. You may not sell, purchase or transfer points or your Viggle account. Points will automatically be forfeited in Viggle accounts that are terminated or cancelled.
When you place a redemption order, your Viggle account will be reduced by the number of points used to acquire the reward. If your reward order is cancelled due to an issue with redeeming the reward (such as the reward becoming unavailable), we will reinstate your points and notify you of the cancelled order.
We may also reduce your point total in certain circumstances based on your actions. For instance, we may reduce your point balance if you call our customer service line in excess of a certain number of times.
All unredeemed points will expire if your Viggle account is dormant for twelve (12) consecutive months, that is, that no qualifying action has been taken. Additionally, points need to be redeemed within twelve (12) months from when they were obtained or they may be forfeited. We reserve the right to issue certain points that will have an earlier or shorter expiration date. The points balance in your Viggle account will be forfeited if your Viggle account is terminated for any reason. We may also remove points from your account to correct errors. You may not be provided with notice of expiration, forfeiture or removal of points. You are not entitled to compensation from us or from any other entity, when the points in your Viggle account expire, if they are removed from your account, if your account is terminated, or if they are forfeited for any reason.
5. MEMBERSHIP TIERS
We may establish membership tiers. We may, for example, establish membership tiers based on the total annual point balance in your Viggle account during a calendar year. Different membership tiers may, for example, give members the opportunity to obtain additional points, obtain exclusive content and obtain exclusive features.
We need the flexibility to change our program to provide the best experience for our users. Accordingly, if we establish membership tiers, we reserve the right to change the membership tiers, the number of points required to obtain membership tiers, or terminate the membership tiers at any time, in our sole discretion. In addition, we may determine the benefits to which a particular membership tier may be entitled, and may change those benefits, in our sole discretion.
6. REWARDS
You may redeem your points for merchandise, gift cards, sweepstakes entries, instant win plays, offers or other rewards listed in our Rewards Catalog, while supplies last. To redeem points in your Viggle account for a reward, visit our Rewards Catalog at any time. The Rewards Catalog contains the current list and description of available rewards, as well as the number of points necessary to obtain each reward. We reserve the right to change the Rewards Catalog without notice, and we do not guarantee the availability of any particular reward. We also reserve the right to change the number of points required to redeem a particular reward. We may also require that you provide us additional information (such as your name, address, or other information) in order to redeem a reward, and your receipt of the reward is contingent upon your providing us with the information we request.
A particular reward may be subject to specific terms and conditions that will be disclosed in the Rewards Catalog, such as the expiration date of the Reward, the purchase or other requirements to use or deliver the Reward, any return policy requirements and any warranties for the reward, or any other limitations or restrictions on obtaining, retaining or using the reward. Neither we nor the merchant providing the reward will be liable if a reward expires prior to redemption for the reward or its use. You and the merchant providing the reward are responsible for compliance with all laws related to redeeming and receiving the reward, including the payment and collection of any applicable federal, state, or local taxes. The aggregate value of the rewards (not including any prizes you may win in sweepstakes or in instant win games) that any individual user of our service may receive during a calendar year is limited to U.S.$550. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, waive the $550 limit for a user, but if we do so, the user agrees that he or she will provide a W-9 and such other information as Viggle may request.
We may deliver rewards to you electronically (i.e., through the email address associated with your account) or by mail. The delivery time may vary. Rewards will not be shipped to any address outside of the United States.
Any redemption of a reward is final. All non-merchandise rewards (such as gift cards and certificates) cannot be returned. Merchandise rewards may not be exchanged or refunded once a merchant has delivered the reward, unless it is defective or has been damaged in transit. Merchants, and not Viggle, are ultimately responsible for replacing any defective or damaged rewards. Refunds, exchanges and other issues relating to the reward are governed by the merchant’s terms and conditions applicable to the purchase. Redeemed rewards are not refundable, exchangeable, or transferable for cash, credit, other rewards or points. Neither we nor our participating merchants are responsible for replacing lost, stolen, or mutilated rewards, including retail or travel certificates, gift certificates, gift cards, or merchandise. You may not redeem points for rewards if your account has been suspended or terminated for any reason.
We reserve the right to offer rewards through or transfer rewards to other promotional incentive programs offered by Viggle and its affiliates or partners.
7. COMMUNICATIONS
We may communicate with you regarding any matter related to the Program by email or by other electronic communications, including postings at the Program website. All electronic communications to you sent from us, or on our behalf, will be deemed to be communications “in writing” and will be deemed delivered to you no later than the earlier of the date actually received or five (5) days from the date of posting or dissemination. You agree that by participating in the Program we may use your mobile device to contact you about your account and to provide promotional and other offers. You are responsible for any charges assessed by your mobile carrier for communications made by us to your mobile device or other device.
8. CUSTOMER SERVICE
If you have a problem or question regarding your account, please contact Customer Service at support@viggle.com.
If you contact us regarding an error or mistake with respect to your account, we will use reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the error or mistake. In any event, you must notify us within thirty (30) days of the posting date or the date of the alleged error or mistake in order for us to undertake an investigation of the matter.
All questions or disputes regarding the Program, including eligibility, obtaining points, membership tiers, or redemption of points for rewards, will be resolved by us in our sole discretion.
9. CHANGES TO THE PROGRAM
We may modify, restrict or change the Program and/or these Program Terms at any time, which changes may include, but are not limited to, changing the terms of eligibility and enrollment, the number of points obtained for a particular action, membership tiers, the type and selection of rewards, or the conditions under which points expire or are forfeited. We will endeavor to notify you of material changes to the Program and Program Terms and, unless you choose to terminate your Program participation, you will be bound by the revised Program Terms. Notification of material changes may be done through the email address you have provided to us, SMS or MMS messaging to the registered mobile device (which SMS or MMS message may direct you to a website for the changed Program Terms), updates to the Mobile App pushed to your mobile device, posting such changes on the Program website, or by any other appropriate method, as we may determine. We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Program at any time, in our sole discretion, without liability or compensation to you.
10. ERROR PREVENTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Occasionally we may review the validity of your account, your qualifying actions, and your compliance with these Program Terms. In addition we may, but are not required to, review your point balance to confirm if any errors have been made in the calculation of your point balance. Based on any such review or if we otherwise deem necessary (for example, if we believe there have been non-qualifying actions), we may authorize an adjustment to the points balance in your account and/or membership tier. These adjustments can be positive or negative. Details on adjustments can be found on the Program website. You are responsible for periodically verifying the accuracy of your points balance.
11. TERMINATION OF YOUR PROGRAM ACCOUNT
You may cancel your account at any time by notifying Customer Service at support@viggle.com. Cancellation of your account will be effective not later than thirty (30) days after you submit your request, during which period you may still obtain points and redeem rewards.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your account, to remove or refuse to award points, or cancel rewards associated with your account, for any reason at any time including if we have a reasonable belief that: (1) points or rewards were improperly obtained or obtained fraudulently (for example, by checking into a qualifying television program within the last five (5) minutes of the program, by checking into multiple qualifying programs at the same time or by engaging in other actions that suggest that you are not actually watching a qualifying program that you have checked into); (2) you have violated these Program Terms or the Viggle Terms of Use, including, without limitation, opening or maintaining multiple accounts or engaging in fraudulent activity to obtain or redeem points; or (3) you have otherwise abused or tampered with this Program. In addition, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you have not completed any actions qualifying for points for twelve (12) consecutive months.
When an account is cancelled or terminated for any reason, any and all point balances, redeemed rewards, or other benefits associated with the account, will be forfeited or cancelled effective as of the date of such termination.

The Viggle service may make available certain interactive services like bulletin boards, chat rooms, blogs and forums (collectively, “Interactive Services”). Please remember that any information that you disclose through these Interactive Services becomes public information and is not subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not want some or all of your Personal Information collected, please do not submit it.
When creating a Viggle account, or connecting your already existing Viggle account with your Facebook account, we will also receive and store the certain information from Facebook, Inc.

Further, Viggle users may be able to use the Viggle service to search for or view your Viggle profile and the information contained therein, such as lists of favorite shows or shows checked into. In addition, your profile picture, name or username may be displayed to other Viggle users on various show pages. For example, another Viggle user that visits a particular show page may see the profile pictures of other Viggle users who are checked into that show. Please familiarize yourself with and use the settings in your profile, as they provide you with some options to adjust the information in your Viggle profile that may be viewed and your activities that may be shared.
Information We Collect Automatically
Whenever you interact with the Viggle service, we and third-party advertisers and/or service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how you access and use the Viggle service (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include, in part, your browser or device type, your operating system, the page served, the time, the preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Viggle service, such as TV show viewing history, interaction with friends and group activities, Viggle Rewards history and your location (if you consent to enabling of location based services). This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Viggle services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. This information helps us keep the Viggle service fresh and interesting to our visitors and tailor content to a visitor’s interests.
Technologies used on the Viggle service to collect Usage Information may include, but are not limited to:
Cookies. Cookies are data files placed on a device when it is used to access the Viggle service.

Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as your browser type, time you spend on the Viggle service and the pages you visit. Cookies allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Viggle service. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; or set your browser to automatically not accept any cookies. However, please be aware that some features of the Viggle service may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your Viggle account. In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
Pixel tags. A pixel tag is a transparent graphic image, sometimes called a clear GIF, web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed. In addition, a pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server.

A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your device (including its location) by its Device Identifier.
Our audio verification technology is based on a manual check-in process. Audio verification is only activated when you manually tap the app to check-in to a television program and not at any other time. We identify the television program based on the audio signal, using our audio verification technology. Our technology converts the audio from the TV program into a sequence of numbers that our servers use to match the television program. No actual audio is recorded or transmitted from the app to our servers, and our audio verification technology does not allow us to recreate any audio from the sequence of numbers transmitted to our servers.

SHARING OF INFORMATION.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide any of your Personal Information to any third party without your specific consent. We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information, and Usage Information, with third parties.

You can choose to disable automatic publishing on Facebook of what you are watching or the rewards you are obtaining in your profile settings. Information shared to Facebook will be attributed to the Facebook account to which your Viggle account is connected. Facebook’s use of such information and any information it collects from your use of or on its service is governed by Facebook’s privacy policy and Viggle’s use of information is governed by this Viggle Privacy Policy. You understand and agree that you need to consult both privacy policies to amend or delete personal information which has been provided to Facebook.

We may also use your Personal Information or share it with our subsidiaries, affiliates, sponsors, partners, advertisers or other third parties to provide you with product information and promotional and other offers.

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or all or substantially all of our assets, or assets related to the Viggle service, Personal Information, Usage Information, and any other information that we have collected about the users of the Viggle service may be disclosed to such entity as part of the due diligence process and will be transferred, in whole or in part, to such entity as one of the transferred assets. If so, we will seek to obligate the acquiring entity to use any information transferred in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, but cannot guarantee that it will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered one of our assets and as such may be sold or transferred to third parties.

INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIES.
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you’re on another website and you opt-in to receive information from us, that website may send us your email address and other information so we can contact you as requested. If you choose to participate in a third party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third party website), you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information such as lists of your friends, “likes”, comments you have shared, groups and location. We may also receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections’” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service. We may also receive information about where you redeem your rewards. The information we collect about you through the Viggle service may be supplemented with information from third parties in order to enhance the Services and your experience of them and to confirm the information that users provide to us. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information provided, unless we have disclosed otherwise.
YOUR CHOICE AND ACCESS.
You may always request that we not share your Personal Information with third parties. In addition you may request that we not send you information or offers, or that we not send you push notifications, emails, newsletters, or other communications. To make any such request: (1) modify your account settings; (2) send us an email at support@viggle.com; or (3) follow the removal instructions in the communication that you receive.

In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted to us. We are under no obligation to store your Personal Information indefinitely, and we disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of your Personal Information. Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without retaining some residual data because of backups and other reasons. Finally, please be aware that we do not control certain privacy settings and preferences maintained by our social media partners like Facebook and Twitter. If you wish to make changes to those settings and preferences, you may do so by visiting the settings page of the appropriate social media site.
ADVERTISING/BEHAVIORAL TARGETING; HOW TO OPT-OUT.
In order to provide more relevant advertisements to you, we use technology to serve advertisements on the Viggle service. We may use third parties to serve these advertisements. We may also use third party analytics vendors to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Viggle service. We do not share Personal Information with these providers unless you have expressly authorized us to do so. However, like other advertising service vendors, they may place and access cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies on your device, and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. We and our network advertisers may target advertisements for television shows, products and services in which you might be interested based on your use of the Viggle service, and visits to other websites. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by third party providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.
If you do not want to receive the benefits of targeted advertising, you may opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information by visiting the NAI Opt-Out Page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Please note that even if you choose to opt out through the NAI Opt-Out Page, you will still see advertisements while you’re browsing online. However, the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
REFERRAL PROGRAMS.
We may allow you to refer friends to the Viggle service via email and social networking platforms. If you refer a friend by email, we will collect the name and email addresses of proposed recipients to send the email on your behalf. We may also use your name and email address in order to identify you as the initiator of the email. Please inform your friends that we may send them emails on your behalf.
If you refer a friend via social networking platforms, you will be subject to the privacy policy and the terms and conditions of the specific social networking platform. Some social networking platforms enable functionality that allows a user to receive and transmit data to the social networking platform through use of overlays or other technology. Although it appears the data is collected by us, the data is in fact collected directly by the social networking platform. If you decide to use this functionality, the data to be transmitted will be collected directly by the social networking platform, and we do not receive, collect or use the information. Please note your social networking account settings, as those settings will affect how and with whom your posts, information and other content are shared.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION.
We take information security seriously, and we use reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Information. Please note, however, that we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or that we store. You use the Viggle service and provide us with your information at your own risk.
CHILDREN.
Because protecting the privacy of young children is especially important, the Viggle service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not use or access the Viggle service at any time in any manner. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.
EXTERNAL SITES.
The Viggle service may contain links to external third-party sites that we do not own or operate. This may include links from advertisers, sponsors and/or partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding or co-marketing agreement. We do not control, recommend or endorse and are not responsible for these third-party sites or their content, products, services or privacy policies or practices. These other sites may send their own cookies to your device, they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. You should also independently assess the authenticity of any site which appears or claims that it is one of our services (including those linked to through an email or social networking page).
CONSENT TO PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATION.
We operate the Viggle service in the United States. Our use of your information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. If you are located in the European Union, Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Viggle service, or providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other applicable territories in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as or equivalent to those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
We may change, add or delete information on the Viggle service and/or this Privacy Policy, at any time without prior notice to you. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on the Viggle website and in the Viggle app or by otherwise communicating to you. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to check back regularly for any changes, additions or deletions.
