Registered User and complete the required number of Offers in compliance with the
terms of these Terms and Conditions and as set forth on the Site.
Registered Users must complete each Offer by clicking on the Offer from the MyTownOffers.com
Website and nowhere else (including any of our affiliates, competitors, or the Offer
provider’s website) in order for MyTownOffers.com to correctly track and assess
points for Your Offer completion. Note that some applications like spyware blockers,
or popup blockers may prevent these links from functioning correctly. In order to
receive proper points for completing an Offer, You must make sure you’re your browser
settings are set to accept all cookies, and that the You click the exact Offer link
to get to the Offer provider’s website.
Registered Users may only receive credit for first time Offer completions. If You

for completing that Offer on in connection with the MyTownOffers.com Site. For the
purposes of clarity, a user who is already a member of eBay may not sign up for
the eBay offer through our website.
2. Failure to be credited for an Offer
MyTownOffers.com does not guarantee that a Registered User will receive credit for
an Offer. We reserve the right to refuse crediting You for an Offer completion for
a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, lack of appropriate information,
improper sign-up method, improper browser settings, and/or a history of manual credits.
Manual credits are Offers that are credited through mailing confirmation of completion.
We are not responsible for delays in reporting offer completion or failure to receive
Offer credit. The time it takes to receive credit varies greatly. You are responsible
for saving all of the confirmation receipts they receive associated with Offer completion.
MyTownOffers.com will not manually credit You for an offer without receiving a copy
of the confirmation email. A confirmation email is an email that a Registered User
receives from an Offer provider after their Offer requirements have been fully satisfied.
However, presenting a confirmation email does not guarantee that You will receive
credit. If You believe that You have fully completed an offer and yet, have not
been credited, You should once again make sure that You have in fact met all of
the requirements stipulated by the Offer provider/sponsor and should verify that
You have waited the appropriate amount of time for Offer completion to be reported
back to this Site (this amount of time varies per Offer). If You confirm that You
have performed all of the necessary actions, and have waited a sufficiently appropriate
period of time, You should contact us via our customer service form on the Site.
