- Be at least eighteen (18) years of age;
- Be a legal resident of New Zealand;
- Possess legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under New Zealand law.

3.3 Restricted Jurisdictions
We may deny or restrict access to users located in jurisdictions subject to New Zealand economic sanctions, export controls under the Russia Sanctions Act 2022 or equivalent legislation, or where Platform operation would violate local law or pose elevated legal or financial risk.

You agree to maintain and promptly update your Account information. Provision of false, misleading, or outdated information may result in Account suspension or termination.

3.7 Cancellation Rights
Under the Fair Trading Act 1986 and related regulations, if these Terms constitute a "uninvited direct sale" or similar arrangement, you may have cancellation rights. If you believe such rights apply, please contact us immediately.
ARTICLE 4: HOW THE PLATFORM OPERATES
4.1 Commission-Based Model
Love Cashback operates as an affiliate marketing platform. When you complete a qualifying purchase through a tracked merchant link, that merchant or its Affiliate Network pays us a commission. We share a portion of that commission with you as Rewards.
4.2 No Guarantee of Commission
We do not guarantee that any particular transaction will result in commission payment. Commission rates, tracking success, and payment depend entirely on merchant policies, technical factors, and third-party systems beyond our reasonable control. This does not affect your consumer guarantees in relation to the Platform service itself.
4.3 Merchant Relationships
We maintain independent relationships with merchants and Affiliate Networks. We are not an agent, employee, or representative of any merchant. Merchants may modify or terminate their participation in the Platform at any time without notice.
4.4 Offer Display
We make reasonable efforts to ensure rates displayed are accurate at the time of publication. However, rates are subject to change without notice by the merchant or affiliate network. Under the FTA, we will not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct regarding offer information. All rates are shown in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise specified.
4.5 GST Treatment
Cashback rewards are calculated based on the commission we receive from merchants. Depending on merchant policies, commissions may be calculated on GST-inclusive or GST-exclusive amounts. The specific calculation method varies by merchant and is not within our control. For tax purposes, you should seek advice from a qualified tax advisor regarding the GST treatment of cashback rewards.
ARTICLE 5: ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
5.1 Account Maintenance
You must maintain a valid email address and accept essential service communications related to Account security, policy changes, and legal notices. While you may opt out of marketing communications at any time, transactional and legal notifications are necessary for the performance of our contract and compliance with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.
5.2 Inactive Accounts
Accounts with no login activity for twelve (12) consecutive months are considered inactive. We may, after providing you with at least sixty (60) days' advance notice to your registered email address, assess a reasonable monthly maintenance fee against inactive Accounts. The fee amount will not exceed NZD $3.00 per month and will be clearly disclosed in the notice.
5.3 Account Suspension
We may temporarily suspend your Account if:
- We reasonably suspect fraudulent activity or material Terms violations;
- Your Account information is materially inaccurate or incomplete;
- Required identity verification is pending;
- We receive a court order or legal process requiring suspension;
- Technical or security issues necessitate suspension for the protection of the Platform or other users.
We will notify you of the suspension and the reasons for it unless prohibited by law. During suspension, you cannot earn new Rewards or request withdrawals. Suspension does not affect your right to legitimately earned Payable Balance once the suspension is resolved.
5.4 Voluntary Account Closure
You may request Account closure at any time by contacting customer support. Before processing closure, we will:
- Display your current Approved Balance;
- Display any Pending Rewards;
- Provide you with a reasonable opportunity to withdraw any Payable Balance meeting the Minimum Threshold.
5.5 Treatment of Balances Upon Closure
Upon Account closure:
- Payable Balance ≥ Minimum Threshold: You will be given a reasonable opportunity (at least 30 days) to withdraw this balance before closure is finalised.
- Approved Balance < Minimum Threshold but > $0: You will be offered options including: (a) waiting until the balance reaches the Minimum Threshold, (b) accepting the balance as a gift card if available, or (c) donating to charity. Under New Zealand consumer law principles, we will make reasonable efforts to facilitate payment of small balances where practicable.
- Pending Rewards: Pending Rewards that have been properly tracked will continue to be processed for a reasonable period (at least 90 days). Once validated and approved by the merchant, you will be notified and given a reasonable opportunity to claim such amounts.
- Zero Balance: Closure is processed promptly.
5.6 Data Handling Post-Closure
Following Account closure, personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Act 2020. We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to comply with legal obligations (including tax, accounting, and anti-money laundering requirements under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009). We may retain anonymised data for statistical and business analysis purposes.
5.7 Finality of Closure
Account closure is generally permanent. However, if merchant payments arrive within ninety (90) days of closure for transactions completed before closure, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you and facilitate payment if the amount meets the Minimum Threshold or can be aggregated with other payments to meet that threshold.
5.8 Involuntary Termination
We may terminate your Account for:
- Material breach of these Terms that you fail to remedy within fourteen (14) days of written notice;
- Fraudulent or illegal activity;
- Serious or repeated violations that materially harm our business relationships;
- Interference with Platform security or operation;
- Other reasonable cause, following notice where practicable.
Upon involuntary termination for cause, you retain the right to withdraw any Payable Balance that was legitimately earned prior to the conduct giving rise to termination. Rewards associated with fraudulent transactions will be forfeited.
5.9 Consumer Protection on Termination
Termination does not affect your accrued rights under the CGA, FTA, or other consumer protection legislation, or any remedies available to you for our breach of these Terms prior to termination.
ARTICLE 6: EARNING REWARDS
6.1 Qualifying Transactions
To earn Rewards, you must:
- Access the merchant's website by clicking through a tracked link provided by the Platform;
- Complete your purchase in a single, uninterrupted browsing session immediately following click-through;
- Enable cookies and not use ad-blocking software, VPNs, private/incognito browsing modes, or other technologies that materially interfere with tracking;

- Complete the transaction while the offer is active and before any stated expiration;
- Comply with all merchant terms of sale and any Special Terms applicable to the offer.
6.2 Tracking Technology
Rewards tracking relies on cookies, pixels, device identifiers, and third-party affiliate tracking systems. Our use of such technologies complies with the Privacy Act 2020. Tracking may fail due to:
- User browser settings or privacy tools;
- Merchant technical issues;
- Affiliate Network errors;
- Network connectivity problems;
- Use of promotional codes not provided by the Platform;
- Multiple devices or browsers during a single transaction;
- Cart abandonment followed by later purchase without re-clicking.
We are not responsible for tracking failures caused by factors outside our reasonable control, but we will make reasonable efforts to investigate tracking issues you report in accordance with our missing cashback claims procedure.
6.3 Excluded Transactions
The following transactions do not qualify for Rewards unless expressly stated:
- Purchases of gift cards, store credit, or cash equivalents;
- Transactions using unauthorized coupon codes;
- Orders cancelled or returned by you or the merchant;
- Purchases made for commercial resale or business purposes;
- Orders flagged as fraudulent by the merchant or payment processor;
- Transactions completed without proper tracking;
- Purchases violating merchant terms of service;
- Purchases of tobacco products or other restricted items where prohibited by law.
6.4 Reward Statuses
Rewards progress through the following statuses:
- Tracked: Click detected and transaction recorded but not yet validated by the merchant.
- Pending: Merchant has acknowledged the transaction but commission payment has not been received.
- Approved: Merchant has approved the transaction, commission has been received, and the Reward is eligible for withdrawal.
- Paid: Reward has been withdrawn from your Account.
- Void: Transaction did not qualify under merchant terms or was rejected by the merchant.
- Reversed: Previously approved Reward has been reclaimed due to return, cancellation, or merchant chargeback.
6.5 Validation Timeline
Merchants typically validate transactions within thirty (30) to ninety (90) days, though timelines vary by merchant. Some merchants require significantly longer validation periods. We will provide you with information about expected validation timeframes where available. Rewards remain Pending until merchant validation. We will notify you when Rewards are Approved or Void.
6.6 Commission Receipt
Rewards become Payable only after we receive commission payment from the merchant or Affiliate Network. Merchants may delay payment or decline payment if they determine a transaction does not qualify under their terms. We have no control over merchant validation or payment decisions but will make reasonable efforts to follow up on Pending Rewards where appropriate.
6.7 Transparency and Good Faith
In accordance with the FTA and principles of good faith dealing, we will:
- Provide clear information about how Rewards are earned;
- Update your Account promptly when we receive information from merchants;

7.3 Changes to Offers
Merchants may modify or terminate offers. We will make reasonable efforts to update offer information promptly. The terms displayed at the time of your click-through govern your transaction, provided the transaction is properly tracked and completed during the offer period.
7.4 Fair Trading Act Compliance
In accordance with the FTA, we will not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct regarding offers. If we become aware that offer information is materially inaccurate, we will correct it promptly. If you have reasonably relied on materially inaccurate information to your detriment, please contact us and we will address the matter fairly.
ARTICLE 8: PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS
8.1 Minimum Threshold
You may request withdrawal when your Payable Balance equals or exceeds the Minimum Threshold of twenty New Zealand dollars (NZD $20.00). Any increase to the Minimum Threshold will require sixty (60) days' advance notice and will not apply to Rewards already Approved at the time of notice.

- Failed payments due to closed or restricted recipient accounts.
However, we will not charge you excessive or unreasonable fees for payment processing.
8.4 Processing Time
Withdrawal requests are typically processed within fourteen (14) business days of approval. Delays may occur due to:

- Bank or payment processor schedules;
- Technical issues;
- Anti-money laundering or fraud prevention checks.
We will notify you if your withdrawal will be materially delayed and provide an explanation where practicable.

- Government-issued photo identification;
- Proof of address;
- IRD number for tax reporting purposes where required;
- Additional information for large payment amounts or unusual activity patterns.
We will process verification requests promptly and in accordance with privacy principles. Information collected will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020. If you do not provide requested documentation within thirty (30) days, we may decline the withdrawal request, but your Payable Balance will remain available for future withdrawal attempts.
8.6 Payment Failures
If a payment fails due to incorrect information you provided, we may assess a reasonable reprocessing fee not to exceed five New Zealand dollars (NZD $5.00), representing our actual costs. We will notify you of failed payments and provide an opportunity to correct the information.
8.7 Tax Responsibility
You are responsible for any tax obligations arising from Rewards received. The tax treatment of cashback rewards under New Zealand tax law may depend on your individual circumstances. We may be required to provide information to Inland Revenue regarding payments. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax advisor regarding your specific situation. We do not provide tax advice.
8.8 Currency
All transactions are processed in New Zealand dollars (NZD). If you select a payment method that requires currency conversion, you may incur conversion fees charged by your bank or payment provider.
ARTICLE 9: GIFT CARD REDEMPTIONS

Gift card options are subject to change based on third-party partner availability. We will make reasonable efforts to maintain a variety of gift card options suitable for New Zealand consumers.
9.2 Terms and Limitations
Gift cards are subject to:
- Issuer terms and conditions;
- Expiration dates set by the issuer (noting that consumer protection principles may apply to expiry dates);
- Usage restrictions imposed by the issuer;
- Delivery delays caused by issuer or delivery systems.
9.3 Consumer Guarantees
Under the CGA, gift cards must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. If a gift card is not delivered, is defective, or the issuer fails to honor it through no fault of yours, please contact us immediately. We will investigate and, where appropriate and in accordance with the CGA, provide a remedy which may include a refund, replacement, or compensation.
9.4 Refund Rights
Gift card redemptions are generally final once the gift card code is delivered and functions as described. However, your consumer guarantees under the CGA apply, and we will not contract out of these guarantees.
9.5 Identity Verification
To prevent fraud and comply with the AML/CFT Act, we may require identity verification before processing gift card redemptions, particularly for high-value cards. Verification requirements will be reasonable and proportionate.
ARTICLE 10: ADJUSTMENTS AND REVERSALS
10.1 Error Correction
We may correct Reward amounts resulting from:
- Technical errors or system malfunctions;
- Obvious pricing or calculation mistakes;
- Incorrect commission data from merchants or Affiliate Networks;
- Duplicate tracking or crediting.
Where a manifest error has resulted in an excessive Reward being credited, we will notify you of the error and the correction. In accordance with principles of fairness and good faith, you will not be required to repay amounts already withdrawn unless the error resulted from fraud or dishonesty on your part, or you knew or ought reasonably to have known that the amount was incorrect.
10.2 Merchant Clawbacks
If a merchant or Affiliate Network reverses commission payment for legitimate reasons, including:
- Product returns or cancellations;
- Chargebacks or payment disputes;
- Determination that the transaction did not qualify under merchant terms;
- Fraudulent transactions;
We may reverse the corresponding Reward. We will notify you of reversals and provide an explanation. If the Reward has already been withdrawn, we may deduct the amount from future Rewards.
10.3 Negative Balances
If reversals result in a negative balance, we may request repayment or offset the amount against future Rewards. However, we will act reasonably and will not pursue repayment where:
- The reversal resulted primarily from merchant error rather than your breach of Terms;
- You acted in good faith and reasonably believed you were entitled to the Reward;
- The amount is small (less than NZD $10.00);
- Pursuing repayment would be unreasonable in the circumstances.
10.4 Timing of Adjustments
Adjustments will be made as soon as reasonably practicable after we become aware of the need for adjustment. We will notify you of material adjustments via email with an explanation.
10.5 Fraud Detection
We employ fraud detection systems to protect the integrity of the Platform. Accounts exhibiting patterns consistent with fraudulent activity may have Rewards withheld pending investigation. We will notify you if we suspect fraudulent activity and, subject to not compromising our investigation or legal obligations, provide an opportunity to respond before taking action.
ARTICLE 11: MISSING CASHBACK CLAIMS
11.1 Claim Period
If a qualifying transaction does not appear in your Account within forty-five (45) days of purchase, you may submit a missing cashback claim within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the original transaction date. This does not affect any rights you may have under the CGA regarding the Platform service.
11.2 Required Documentation
Claims must include:
- Order confirmation email or receipt;
- Transaction date and amount;
- Merchant name;
- Proof of payment;
- Confirmation that you clicked through the Platform immediately before purchase;

- If more time is needed, inform you of the delay and expected resolution timeframe.
11.4 Merchant Cooperation
Claim approval depends on merchant cooperation and their systems. Many merchants do not accept manual claims or provide retroactive tracking information. We will make reasonable efforts to follow up with merchants but cannot guarantee resolution. This limitation does not affect your consumer guarantees in relation to the Platform service itself.
11.5 Ineligible Claims
We cannot approve claims for:
- Transactions that were tracked but reasonably rejected by the merchant under their terms;
- Purchases that do not meet qualifying transaction requirements set out in these Terms;
- Orders from merchants who do not participate in manual claims processes;
- Transactions where adequate documentation cannot be provided after reasonable efforts;
- Claims submitted outside the claim period without good reason.
If your claim is declined, we will explain the reason. If you believe our decision is inconsistent with your consumer rights, you may contact Disputes Tribunal or seek other remedies available under New Zealand law.
ARTICLE 12: UNCLAIMED PROPERTY AND DORMANT ACCOUNTS
12.1 Dormancy Period
If your Account remains inactive (no login activity) for three (3) consecutive years and contains an Approved Balance, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you at your last known email address and, if available, postal address.
12.2 Unclaimed Money Act
New Zealand has the Unclaimed Money Act 1971, which requires certain unclaimed money to be paid to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue. However, the Act's application to cashback rewards may be unclear. We will comply with our legal obligations as they apply to unclaimed balances.
12.3 Notice Requirements
Before treating funds as potentially unclaimed, we will:
- Send notice to your last known email address;
- If we have a postal address, send notice by mail;
- Provide at least ninety (90) days from the date of notice before taking any action;
- Make reasonable efforts to locate you.
12.4 Treatment of Unclaimed Balances
After making reasonable efforts to contact you and subject to applicable law:

- Alternatively, balances may be retained subject to your ongoing right to claim them;
- We may donate unclaimed balances to registered New Zealand charities, subject to your ongoing right to claim for a reasonable period.
12.5 Your Right to Claim
You retain the right to claim unclaimed balances by contacting us and verifying your identity. If funds have been paid to Inland Revenue, you may claim them through Inland Revenue's unclaimed money process. There is no time limit on claiming money held by Inland Revenue.
12.6 Small Balances
For balances below NZD $10.00, we will handle them reasonably and in accordance with applicable law and consumer protection principles.
ARTICLE 13: REFERRAL PROGRAM
13.1 Program Terms
Our referral program, when offered, allows users to earn bonuses by inviting new users. Program terms, bonus amounts, and qualifying conditions will be clearly communicated and are subject to change with reasonable notice.
13.2 Fair Trading Act Compliance
Our referral program complies with the FTA. We will not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct regarding referral bonuses, and the program does not constitute a pyramid scheme or similar prohibited arrangement.
13.3 Fraud Prevention
We reserve the right to:
- Investigate and decline referral bonuses where we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse;
- Set reasonable limits on referrals per user;
- Terminate accounts engaged in fraudulent referral practices;
- Require verification before paying referral bonuses.
Any action taken will be reasonable and proportionate, and we will provide an explanation.
13.4 Program Modifications
We may modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program with reasonable notice. Bonuses already earned and approved at the time of termination will remain payable.
