Legal Document — Student-Facing
Effective Date: July 29, 2026 · Last Updated: August 10, 2026
WeRewards ("Service," "Platform," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent loyalty rewards program operated by Krish Chavan, an individual ("Operator"). WeRewards is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to The Pennsylvania State University or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
The Service allows users to earn points at participating local vendors and redeem those points for rewards offered by those vendors. The Platform is provided free of charge to students who use it.
To use WeRewards, you must meet all of the following requirements:
WeRewards is intended for Penn State students and the participating vendors are local to the Penn State community. We do not currently restrict sign-in to Penn State email addresses, but we may introduce eligibility verification at any time and may require you to confirm your student status in order to continue using the Service.
Separately from eligibility, a promotion may be limited to accounts whose sign-in email address is at a particular domain, such as a university address (see Section 4.7). That is a condition of the promotion only. It does not restrict who may use the Service, it is not a verification of enrollment or student status, and it is assessed solely from the email address attached to your account at the time it is created.
We reserve the right to verify eligibility at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.
You register for WeRewards in two steps: you sign in with your Google account, and you are then asked to accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Your account is created only when you accept — signing in with Google does not by itself create one. If you decline, no account is created and the sign-in is discarded.
By registering, you authorize us to receive your name, email address, and Google profile information as described in our Privacy Policy. We keep a record of each acceptance — which version you agreed to, when, and the IP address it came from — as described in Section 2.7 of that Policy.
If we materially revise these Terms or the Privacy Policy, we will ask you to accept the updated versions before you continue using the Service. Declining a revision means you can no longer use WeRewards; you may download your data and delete your account at any time, with or without accepting.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to secure your account.
You may not create more than one WeRewards account. Duplicate accounts may be suspended without notice.
When you are signed in, the Platform generates a short numeric earn code unique to your account. You provide this code to a participating vendor when making a purchase. The vendor enters the code into the WeRewards terminal to award points to your account.
Points are awarded by participating vendors at their sole discretion. Each vendor sets its own points-per-dollar rate and may change that rate at any time. Points are calculated based on the dollar amount of your purchase as entered by the vendor. You are responsible for confirming the amount entered is correct at the time of the transaction.
Points earned are credited to your account on a per-vendor basis. Points earned at one vendor cannot be combined with points earned at a different vendor and cannot be transferred between vendors, except that community points may be moved into a single vendor's balance as described in Section 4.6.
A tier multiplier (1×, 1.5×, or 2×) may be applied to points earned based on your 30-day engagement score across the Platform. Multiplier tiers are calculated automatically and may change from week to week.
To redeem points, you generate a single-use redemption code through the app for a specific reward at a specific vendor. Redemption codes expire 120 seconds after generation and are single-use. Once a code is used, the corresponding points are deducted from your balance immediately. Redemptions are subject to vendor availability and vendor discretion.
Points have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, sold, transferred, or combined with points from another user's account. Points are not property and do not constitute currency, legal tender, or a financial instrument of any kind.
Points do not currently expire. However, we reserve the right to implement point expiration policies, modify point values, or discontinue the points program at any time upon 30 days' written notice posted within the app or sent to your registered email address. Points may be forfeited if your account is suspended or terminated for cause.
In addition to vendor-specific points, the Platform automatically credits a separate community points balance equal to 10% of the points you earn on each qualifying earn transaction (rounded down to a whole point). Community points are additive — they do not reduce the vendor points you earn. Community-point crediting is subject to a daily limit per account, and purchases at vendors that have been deactivated or removed from the Platform do not generate community points. If an earn transaction is voided by the vendor, the community points it generated are removed as well.
Community points may also be credited to you by WeRewards itself rather than by a purchase — under a promotion described in Section 4.7, or as a one-off adjustment made by us. Points credited that way are community points for every purpose under these Terms.
Community points cannot be redeemed directly. You may move some or all of your community points into your points balance at a single participating vendor, at which point they become ordinary points at that vendor and are governed by the rest of this Section 4. Moving community points is final and cannot be undone. Once moved, the points cannot be moved back, moved to a different vendor, or restored to your community balance — including if the destination vendor later leaves the Platform (Section 6 applies). Vendors may decline to accept moved-in community points or may be subject to monthly acceptance limits, so the destinations available to you can change at any time.
Community points are points for all purposes under these Terms: they have no monetary value (Section 4.4), are not transferable to any other person, do not currently expire (Section 4.5 applies to them as well), and are forfeited upon account deletion or termination (Sections 7 and 10).
From time to time we may run promotions that credit community points to your account for something other than a purchase. A promotion's terms — what it pays, what qualifies, and when it starts and ends — are those shown in the app at the time you take part, and are subject to this Section.
Promotions are optional, limited, and may end at any time. Each promotion may have a total budget, and once that budget is used up the promotion stops paying, whether or not it is still visible. We may change, suspend, or end any promotion at any time without notice. No promotion is an offer that you can accept in advance, and nothing in a promotion entitles you to points you have not already been credited.
Invite a friend. Each account is given a share code. If another person opens your invite link, creates a WeRewards account, and enters your code, both of you may receive community points, subject to the following:
Signup promotions. A promotion may credit points to accounts created within a stated period whose sign-in email address is at a stated domain. Because eligibility is assessed from the address attached to your account when it is created, signing in with a different address means the promotion does not apply, and it cannot be applied afterwards — including by changing the address on your Google account. Each account may receive a given signup promotion once only. As stated in Section 2, this is a condition of the promotion and is not a verification of your enrollment or student status.
Abuse. Creating additional accounts, using another person's identity or email address, or otherwise arranging transactions for the purpose of collecting promotional points is a breach of Section 5. We may withhold, void, or reverse promotional points we reasonably believe were obtained that way, and may suspend or terminate the accounts involved, including after the points have been credited or moved into a vendor balance.
You agree not to:
Violation of this Section may result in immediate account suspension or termination and forfeiture of any accumulated points.
Vendors that participate in WeRewards are independent businesses. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or availability of any goods or services offered by participating vendors. Disputes about purchases, refunds, or the quality of goods or services must be resolved directly with the applicable vendor. WeRewards is not a party to any transaction between you and a vendor.
Vendors may join or leave the Platform at any time. If a vendor leaves the Platform, any unredeemed points associated with that vendor will no longer be redeemable, and we are not responsible for any loss of points resulting from a vendor's departure.
Our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in our Privacy Policy.
You may download a copy of your data at any time through the Account tab. You may delete your account at any time; upon deletion, your profile and balances are permanently removed, but historical transaction records are retained in anonymized form to preserve vendors' business records.
The WeRewards name, logo, software, platform design, and all content produced by us are owned by or licensed to Krish Chavan and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use only.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or exploit any part of the Service without our prior written permission.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of significant changes.
We may update these Terms at any time. The current version is always available in the app and at /legal/student-terms-of-service.html, and the "Last Updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
For material changes we will prompt you to review and accept the updated Terms the next time you open the app, and you will not be able to continue using the Service until you do. For minor changes that do not affect your rights or obligations, your continued use after the updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service; you may download your data and delete your account at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases and any accumulated points are forfeited.
You may terminate your account at any time by using the "Delete my account" feature in the Account tab.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL KRISH CHAVAN, HIS AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF POINTS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above may not apply to you in full.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Krish Chavan and his agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of or inability to use the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (d) any dispute between you and a vendor.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Subject to Section 16 (Arbitration), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Centre County, Pennsylvania for any disputes not subject to arbitration.
Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and give us a reasonable opportunity (at least 30 days) to resolve the dispute informally. This is a condition precedent to any formal proceeding.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally under Section 15 shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, rather than in court. If JAMS is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall use the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Centre County, Pennsylvania, or remotely if both parties agree. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration Costs: For claims under $10,000, Company will pay all JAMS or AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.
Class Action Waiver: You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be conducted solely on an individual basis. You waive any right to bring or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Centre County, Pennsylvania to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.
Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign our rights and obligations.
