Please don't do any of the above. Use common sense and treat others the way you want to be treated. Any reward based app is going to attract people who try to game the system. We put measures in place to protect our advertisers as well as ourselves. If we detect any kind of activity that breaks any of these terms, you will be permanently banned.

The cashKarma Android app may not be used in the following countries: Vietnam.
Banned Traffic (Webapp)
The cashKarma web application may not be used in the following countries: Vietnam.
Traffic from certain countries are no longer allowed on the cashKarma system. If we detect traffic sources from the above stated countries, the system will automatically block and/or suspend the account from further activities. We reserve the right to add countries on our blacklist as we continue to analyze any fraudulent activities.
Karma Points
Karma Points is a virtual currency that has no real world value. You can earn Karma Points in exchange for rewards within the cashKarma app (rewards and their exchange rates are determined by the Company). Should your account be suspended, deleted, or should cashKarma cease operations, you agree that you will forfeit all KARMA POINTS in your account. Reward issuance is not guaranteed even if offer requirements are made
Karma Points isn't real. You can't ask us to give you real money in exchange for cold hard cash. You will not have access to your Karma Points if we restrict access to your account or delete your account. If cashKarma shuts down, you will not be compensated or have any access to the Karma Points in your account. We cannot guarantee that you will receive rewards even if you complete the offer requirements stated.
Privacy
Any information you provide to cashKarma is subject to cashKarma's
Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the
Privacy Policy) of this information.
Please check it out. We collect information primarly to identify that you are really you, not someone who is trying to impersonate you or some robot or virtual being. Since this is a rewards app, it's important we attribute the rewards to the right person so it's fair to all users, to us, and to the advertisers. If we don't do this, we will be out of business really quickly.
Limitation on Account Creation and Account Sign In.
Only one cashKarma account can be associated per device.
(1) If you create an cashKarma account on a device, then that is the only account you can use for that device.
(2) If you sign-in to a new device, then that account you signed in with is the only account that can be used with that device.
(3) You are limited to a number of devices you can sign into within a certain time period.
Because of the security and reward tracking implementation we have in place, we can only allow a single account to be created per device. There really isn't any reason for anyone to have multiple accounts (it's like someone applying to two frequent flier accounts from the same airline). If you are sharing a device with another user, we're sorry, you'll have to buy another device to register your account on. The only time this clause can become an issue is if you obtain a device from another person who has already registered an account on your device. If this is the case you can email us, but we reserve the right to decide whether an account can be created. Additionally, we realize people have multiple devices (tablet, phone) and that people change devices all the time and may want to use our app on different device. We allow a reasonable number sign-ins within a fixed time period.
Passwords
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. cashKarma cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.
Tip: "abcd", "1234", are not strong passwords, "iHeArTmil3yCyRU5" is a strong password.
Deleting Account
You have the right to delete your account anytime you want. To delete your account, please send us an email to
[email protected] specifying that you want to delete your account. We will contact you to confirm your request, and your account will be deleted within a few days.
Not everyone will like us. Let us know and we'll close out your account. Thanks for trying us out and we'll really appreciate it if you can tell us where we need to improve.
Intellectual Property
All Services and its original content, features and functionality are owned by Darkfield Software LLC and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
Everything we create is ours. Please don't steal.
Account Suspension and Termination
CashKarma may terminate or suspend your access to or ability to use any and all Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason or no reason, including but not limited to if you breach any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. In particular, cashKarma may immediately terminate or suspend Accounts that have been flagged for suspected fraudulent activities.
Upon termination of your access to or ability to use a Service, including but not limited to suspension of your Account on a Service, your right to use or access that Service and any information associated with you will immediately cease and may result in forfeiture and destruction. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. Termination of your access to and use of the Services shall not relieve you of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which you otherwise may have to cashKarma or any third party.
If you attempt or engage in any fraudulent activities or break any of the terms as outlined in this page, your account will be suspended and you will lose everything associated with your account.
Links To Other Sites
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that the cashKarma is not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by cashKarma of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources.
We aren't responsible for stuff that other people write or create on their sites
Gift Card Disclaimers
We do not issue refunds on gift card rewards redeemed with Karma Points virtual currency. Although we will make every effort to correct any issues (in the form of crediting a Subscriber's account the proper amount of credits) due to invalid, inactive, or otherwise unusable gift cards, we reserve the right to determine on a case by case basis which accounts are eligible for the correction.
We can't issue refunds for gift cards because there is no way for us to know whether a gift card has been used. The only exception we make is if there is an issue with the gift card number, which in rare cases do happen. In such instances, it does require some time to investigate and we reserve the right to decide whether you are eligible for a refund.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Your access to and use of the Services or any Content is at your own risk. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CASHKARMA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. cashKarma makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the Services, including any representation or warranty that the use of the Services will (a) be timely, uninterrupted or error-free or operate in combination with any other hardware, software, system or data, (b) meet your requirements or expectations, (c) be free from errors or that defects will be corrected, (d) be free of viruses or other harmful components. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from cashKarma or through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made herein. Additionally, while we work to protect the security of your content and account, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures.
You agree that we are not responsible for the loss of your Karma Points virtual currency, other points, credits, achievements, rewards, gift cards, regardless of monetary value, in the event there is any data or server error, computer and/or network system error or failure, criminal act, vandalism, or cyber attack.
We're not perfect. Sometimes bad things happen. Although we try to do everything to prevent bad things from happening, there are times when it's beyond our control or ability. With regards to reward issuance, we work with partners to provide offers for users to complete to earn rewards and issue rewards based on these partner's system notifying us. There isn't much we can do if our partner fails to signal us when you've completed your task resulting in you not receiving your reward. Furthermore, app developers and ad networks often have measures in place to prevent users who have already completed an offer (or have installed an app or watched a video) from getting credited more than once. Please accept that we may not be able to fix everything and make everyone happy should these bad things happen.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, and each of its directors, managers, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, action, cause of action, application, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of and access to our Services; (ii) your violation of any term of these Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; (iv) any claim that one of your user submissions caused damage to a third party; or (v) any content you post or share on or through the Service.
Limitations of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CASHKARMA, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND/OR DISTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER; (B) LOSS OF: PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES; (C) DAMAGES RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (D) DAMAGES RELATING TO ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY OR SUBSCRIBER USING THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OR CONTENT; AND/OR (E) DAMAGES IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO ANY CONTENT.

Waiver and Severability
