Erth Points Rewards System Terms & Conditions for Supporters

How does the Erth Point Rewards System work?

1) The patented 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.
2) 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. The system keeps customers coming back again and again.
3) We onboard Merchants and ECOs BDM who also receive a lesser value of Erth Points 10% of the gifted Erth Points.
4) Erth Point’s REACTS marketing system automatically ensures Merchants receive $33.33 in sales for every $1 spent in the REACTS system for a minimum fee of 3% PAY-per-SALE.
5) Merchants can use their own rewards or utilise the rewards of far larger organisations and attract the Supporters of ECO as their customers without any extra procedures or effort from the Merchant’s cashier when using our system.
a. The REACTS marketing system operates when a REACTS-registered debit/credit card is used with a REACTS-registered payment terminal.
b. 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.
c. Registration of the card and the terminal is needed for us to match data to enable the REACTS system to be notified a transaction.
d. The REACTS Erth Marketing Credit must be purchased in advance. Once the balance falls below $50 the Merchant must top up their Marketing Balance and the minimum purchase amount is $50 worth of REACTS prepaid marketing services.
e. 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.
6) It is recommended that the Merchant purchase enough REACTS and Erth Points to be aligned to their annual turnover in sales to ensure the continuity of Erth Point Marketing services.
7) Erth Points can be earned and spent internationally, and therefore may be traded internationally, their value will continually fluctuate according to supply and demand.
8) An 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.
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.
b. The system simultaneously benefits and thereby encourages the ECO’s Supporters (Customers) to shop at participating Merchants by –
i. gifting them Erth Rewards 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
9) 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 as normal Rewards points do.
10) 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.
11) The ECO understands and agrees that it can only be gifted points as per the terms and conditions set out in the ECO agreement.
