How does the Erth Point Loyalty System work?
1) The Erth Point Loyalty System delivers customers to Businesses (Merchants) on a PAY-per-SALE and CLICKS-are-FREE basis.
a) The Erth Point Marketing System is both a Customer Attraction and Customer Loyalty System to attract Customers and keep all customers coming back again and again.
b) The system operates on the fact; Merchants happily pay to acquire customers as evidenced by the Trillions already spent globally on advertising and marketing every year.
c) The system enables part of every sale (PAY-per-SALE Marketing fee) from every Merchant to every Customer to go toward repairing the damage inflicted upon the planet from our everyday spending via the Rewards4Earth Foundation and its POLECER mandate.
d) Merchants happily pay for the acquisition of a customer to look at their website via a click and are generally prepared to pay more for a guaranteed sale (PAY-per-SALE).
2) Clubs, Churches, Charities and other qualified organisations (ECOs) are willing to provide their Supporters as customers on a PAY-per-SALE and CLICKS-are-FREE basis to enable the ECO to earn an ongoing residual income from their Supporter’s everyday spending and shopping; while simultaneously benefitting their Supporters to potentially get a better deal and earn Erth Points.
a) A ECO cannot be an Erth Ambassador as an Erth Ambassador has to be a person and complete the Erth Ambassador course to ensure they understand their requirements as an Erth Ambassador and what they can and cannot say regarding Erth Points.
3) Supporters are happy to collect Erth Points to benefit themselves and to potentially get a better deal from Merchants. Supporters understand that Erth Points also go to support their Nominated ECO and to help save the planet giving the Supporter triple the contribution.
4) The Supporter (Customer) their nominated ECO and the planet (via the Rewards4Earth Foundation) each receive the same number and percentage of Erth Points, being 30% of the gifted Erth Points which are pre-purchased by the Merchant or via the Erth Points REACTS (Rewards4Earth Automated Card Transaction Service) marketing system.
5) We recruit Merchants and ECOs using the Erth Ambassador network who also receive a lesser value of Erth Points being 10% of the gifted Erth Points.
6) Erth Point’s REACTS marketing system ensures Merchants receive $33.33 in sales for every $1 spent in the REACTS system if the minimum 3% PAY-per-SALE fee is utilised.
7) Merchants can use their own loyalty or utilise the loyalty of far larger organisations and attract the Supporters of ECOs as their customers.
a) As part of the REACTS marketing fee goes to the ECO via Erth Points, this incentivises the ECO to provide their Supporters as Customers in return for a passive residual income.
8) The Erth Point System keeps customers coming back again and again by gifting Erth Points to the Customer (Customer Loyalty), the Customer’s nominated ECO (Larger Loyalty and Social Responsibility) and the Planet (Environmental Responsibility), using one or all three payment delivery methods used by the Patented Erth Point Marketing system –
a) The REACTS marketing system operates when a REACTS registered debit/credit card is used with a REACTS registered payment terminal.
b) Once this notification is sent to REACTS, this enables Erth Points to be purchased on electronic exchanges and then gifted to the Supporter and all other parties automatically without any extra procedures or effort from the Merchant’s cashier.
i) It is important to note that no money is taken from the transaction, the funds needed to operate the system are taken from the REACTS marketing balance that is prepaid by the Merchant.
ii) Registration of the card and the terminal is needed for us to match data to enable the REACTS system to be notified a transaction is taking place, at what value and time to ensure the correct amount of Erth™ Points are gifted, and for reconciliation purposes for all parties.
iii) The REACTS Erth Marketing Credit must be purchased in advance; $50 credit is provided with the $220 Merchant joining fee. Once the balance falls below $20 the Merchant must top up their Marketing Balance and the minimum purchase amount is $50 worth of REACTS prepaid marketing services.
c) With cash, direct deposit, or other payment methods, the Erth™ Point BIZ App must be used to gift Erth Points to the Customer (Supporter) and all other parties.
(1) Erth Points must be purchased in advance, $50 worth of Erth Points are credited to the Erth Point BIZ App from the $220 Merchant joining fee. Once the balance of Erth Points falls below $20 if is required that the Merchant purchase more Erth Points with the minimum purchase amount being $50 worth.
d) Using the Erth Point API shopping cart (checkout for online sales) which enables Erth Points to be automatically credited to all parties upon checkout (Coming soon).
i) The API uses the REACTS Erth Marketing Services advance payment system and deducts the fee from the REACTS credited account and Erth Points are gifted to all parties via the REACTS system.
9) It is recommended that the Merchant purchase enough REACTS and Erth Points to cover sales for at least one week to ensure continuity of Erth Point Marketing services rather than spending time and effort to purchase them more frequently.
a) The Merchant can purchase the Minimum $50 worth of Erth Points or enough for many years’ worth of marketing, it is the Merchants choice.
b) The Merchant can also purchase the minimum $50 worth of REACTS pre-paid marketing services or enough for many years in advance, that is a decision for the merchant.
c) Merchants should obtain their own tax advice as to the tax deductibility of both Erth Points and REACTS marketing services based on their own individual situations.
10) Because Erth Points can be earned and spent internationally, and therefore will be traded internationally, their value will continually fluctuate.
a) Down in value like traditional loyalty reward points which disadvantages the holder, and
b) Up in value to benefit the holder (customers), unlike any loyalty reward point we have ever known.
c) The value of Erth Points is determined by supply and demand ascertained by international digital exchanges.
11) A ECO earns Erth Points when one of the ECO’s supporters who has nominated that ECO purchases from a Merchant where Erth Points are earned. All Erth Points are gifted using the magic of REACTS, our API or the BIZ App and its ground-breaking technology.
a) The ECO can sell their Erth Points as desired on exchanges to Merchants who need to purchase them to reward customers and ECOs for making a sale creating a financially viable ecosystem.
12) ErthMarketing Pty Ltd, the Rewards4Earth Foundation Ltd (Charity) and other companies from the Rewards4Earth Group operate the Erth Point Loyalty Reward Program.
13) The Erth Point system enlists Supporters from ECOs by enabling the ECO to share in the advertising and marketing revenue, thereby monetising the loyalty of their Supporters (Customers) in the form of a passive residual income, created from every transaction made to a supporter at a participating Merchant where Erth Points are earned.
a) The system simultaneously benefits and thereby encourages the ECO’s Supporters (Customers) to shop at participating Merchants by –
i) gifting them Erth Loyalty Points
ii) helping them to find great deals from participating Merchants.
iii) Gifting the Supporters nominated ECO Erth Points and from that a residual income
iv) Gifting Erth points to the Rewards4Earth Foundation Ltd to assist with the POLECER mandate to repair the planet (see below).
14) Erth Points can be earned at any participating Merchant in the world and spent at any Merchant in the world that accepts them. The system is designed to benefit all Merchants that use the system rather than benefit any specific Merchant, like normal loyalty points do.
15) Merchants pay ErthMarketing Pty Ltd for delivering a customer and sale on a PAY-per-SALE basis to that Merchant. ErthMarketing Pty Ltd keeps 20% of the marketing funds to operate the REACTS Erth Point System and uses 80% of the funds to purchase Erth Points and then gift those Erth Points to participating parties.
16) From the Erth Points purchased ErthMarketing will gift Erth Points to the following parties as part of the Erth Point Loyalty are: –
a) The Supporter (Customer) – 30%
b) The Supporter’s nominated ECO – 30% (Subject to terms and conditions)
c) The Planet via the Rewards4Earth Foundation. – 30%
d) The Erth Ambassador Network – 10%
e) Merchants benefit by converting the ECO Supporters into Customers, enabling the Merchants to make more sales
f) ECOs benefit by collecting Erth Points and then using them to purchase from participating Merchants or selling the Erth Points for local currency back to Merchants via exchanges.
g) It is important to note that neither the Merchant nor the supporter gifts or donates any Erth Points or money to the ECO and it is only a nomination by the Supporter to ErthMarketing that influences ErthMarketing as to where it will gift Erth Points. Having said that we endeavour to gift money to where the supporter nominates and will only stop or reduce the proceeds to the ECO if it can be shown that the ECO is squandering, misappropriating, or is receiving funds in excess of the ECO’s needs.
h) The ECO understands and agrees that it can only be gifted points as per the terms and conditions set out in the ECO agreement.
i) The ECO understands that it cannot be an Erth Ambassador.
j) ErthMarketing and Rewards4Earth reserve the right to alter the percentages at any time to preserve the integrity of the system and keep the system repairing the planet.
17) Example from a $200 transaction (Sale) where the Merchant pays 4% of the transaction to ErthMarketing for delivering them a customer and a Sale –
a) Total paid to ErthMarketing is 4% of $200 = $8 for delivering a Customer (Supporter) and more importantly revenue in the form of a sale.
b) ErthMarketing retains 20% of the $8 = $1.60 to run REACTS and all other parts of the Erth Point system.
c) The remaining 80% = $6.40 is used to purchase Erth Points from exchanges, which could be from ECOs that has been gifted their Erth™ Points or any other holder of Erth Points.
d) The $6.40 worth of Erth™ Points are then gifted from ErthMarketing to the following parties: –
i) The Supporter receives 30% = $1.92 worth of Erth Points
ii) The Supporter’s nominated ECO receives 30% = $1.92 worth of Erth Points subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
iii) The planet via the Rewards4Earth Foundation receives 30% = $1.92 worth of Erth Points which funds POLECER organisations to help repair the planet.
iv) The Erth Ambassador network receives 10% = $0.64 worth of Erth Points.
(1) The ECO cannot double-dip and be an Erth Ambassador.
e) ErthMarketing and Rewards4Earth reserve the right to alter the percentages at any time to preserve the integrity of the system and keep the system repairing the planet.
18) Using our standard REACTS Merchants only PAY-per-SALE rather than per CLICK excluding the initial establishment fee.
a) For cash sales, direct deposit or other types of payments not used on REACTS the Merchant will need to possess Erth™ Points which they can purchase from exchanges.
19) The patented Erth Point and Reacts technology ensures all 5-parties benefit –
a) the Supporter (customer) benefits,
b) the Merchant benefits,
c) the Supporters nominated ECO benefits,
d) the Erth Ambassadors benefit and
e) all parties help planet Earth by funding the reparation of our environmental problems.
20) A small part of every transaction from every Merchant to every Supporter in the Erth Point System will be used to fund environmental projects around the world and help save planet Earth from all the destruction mankind forces upon it. The Rewards4Earth Foundation’s key objectives through the POLCER mandate are: –
a) Plastic Reclamation and Recycling Worldwide,
b) Ocean Clean-up and Rejuvenation,
c) Local Causes (such as drought, fire, and flood relief in Australia),
d) Endangered Species Preservation,
e) Clean Energy Technology,
f) Education & Lobbying (on how we can all help save the Planet),
g) Reforestation and Tree Planting.
21) We operate under patents in accordance with the Patents Act 1990 (Cth) within the Commonwealth of Australia and the associated worldwide Patents.
22) ECOs and particularly Sports Clubs understand and agree that all money paid from the system is paid by ErthMarketing Pty Ltd and not from their supporters or Merchants the Supporters purchase from. As such the ECO will treat all money or Erth Points received from the Erth Point system as if it is sponsorship money retrospectively or as a capital gain from their Erth Points.
a) If as an example a Sports Club receives $100,000 from a naming rights sponsor, then the ECO hereby agrees to give Erth Points the equivalent benefits of promotion as it would any sponsor if ErthMarketing gives a similar $100,000 in gifts or donations to the ECO which is commensurate to paying $100,000 in sponsorship.
i) ErthMarketing may agree to a less prominent position on jerseys at ErthMarketing’s discretion if the received amounts are similar.
ii) If ErthMarketing is paying more than any other sponsor ErthMarketing requires that Erth Points be given the prominent promotion as any other main sponsor would receive from the Sports Club unless agreed by ErthMarketing.
23) The ECO agrees that they will give over any fair and reasonable information requested by ErthMarketing to establish the ECO’s bona fides and need for money from ErthMarketing and the Erth Point system.
a) If the information requested by ErthMarketing is not received and/or approved by ErthMarketing, ErthMarketing may stop or decrease any funding to the ECO as it sees fit regardless of nominations made by any Supporters using the Erth Point System.
24) It is important to note that neither the Merchant nor the supporter gifts or donates any Erth Points or money to the ECO and it is only a nomination by the Supporter to ErthMarketing that influences ErthMarketing as to where it will gift money. Having said that we endeavour to gift money to where the supporter nominates and will only stop or reduce the proceeds to the ECO if it can be shown that the ECO is squandering, misappropriating, or is receiving funds in excess of the ECO’s needs.
