Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 17, 2024
Welcome to Byte Back! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, platform, and services (collectively, the "Services"). Please read these Terms carefully before using our Services.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity ("Organization"), then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms.
2. Description of Service
Byte Back provides a platform that allows users ("Users") to earn cashback rewards on their subscriptions with participating SaaS businesses and other service providers ("Partner Businesses"). We also provide a directory for Users to discover Partner Businesses. Partner Businesses can use our platform to offer cashback rewards to their customers to improve retention.
3. User Accounts
- Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create an account and use the Services.
- Registration: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
- Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account password and for any activities or actions under your account. Byte Back cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
- User Payouts: To receive cashback payouts, Users must connect a valid Stripe Express account. Payouts are subject to Stripe's terms and conditions.
4. Business Accounts (Partner Businesses)
- Onboarding: Partner Businesses must provide accurate business information and connect their Stripe account via Stripe Connect to participate in the platform.
- Stripe Connect: By connecting your Stripe account, you agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and other applicable Stripe terms. Byte Back will apply an application fee percentage to relevant subscriptions to cover the agreed cashback rate and our platform fee.
- Responsibilities: Partner Businesses are responsible for maintaining their Stripe account, managing their customer subscriptions directly, and ensuring their service offerings are accurately represented.
5. Cashback Program
- Earning Cashback: Users earn cashback based on the rates set by Partner Businesses and successful, continued payments for linked subscriptions.
- Vesting Period: Cashback earned from a subscription payment typically becomes "Available" after the User's next successful payment for that same subscription is processed (one billing cycle vesting). This is to ensure continued loyalty.
- Availability & Withdrawal: Available cashback can be withdrawn by Users to their connected Stripe Express account, subject to minimum withdrawal thresholds and processing times.
- Limitations: Cashback is not guaranteed and may be subject to change or cancellation by Partner Businesses or Byte Back under certain conditions (e.g., subscription refunds, fraudulent activity, program termination). Byte Back is not responsible for changes in cashback rates offered by Partner Businesses.
- No Cash Value Until Vested: Pending cashback has no cash value until it becomes "Available."
6. Linking Subscriptions
- User Responsibility: Users are responsible for providing the correct email address associated with their SaaS subscription billing for verification purposes.
- Verification: Byte Back uses email verification and Stripe API data to confirm active subscriptions. We do not access or store your passwords for third-party SaaS services.
- No Alteration of Original Subscription: Linking a subscription through Byte Back does not alter your original subscription terms, pricing, or service access with the Partner Business.
7. Role of Stripe
Byte Back utilizes Stripe for payment processing, subscription tracking (for Partner Businesses via Stripe Connect), and cashback payouts (to Users via Stripe Express).
