COMPLIANCE & PROGRAM STRUCTURE
-
E-Commerce and Retail Framework
RebateRumble.com (the "Platform") is owned and operated by Rebate Rumble Inc. The Platform is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer. It operates under standard corporate retail frameworks, utilizing standard retail Merchant Category Codes (MCC). All user funds processed on this Platform represent the direct, fair-market value purchase of physical merchandise and consumer goods. No portion of a customer's payment constitutes a fee to enter a contest, a premium for insurance, or a wager of any kind. -
Conditional Rebate Marketing Model
The Platform utilizes an innovative promotional mechanism known as Conditional Rebate Marketing. A conditional rebate is a contractually backed marketing covenant where a retail consumer receives a full or partial refund of their purchase price if a specific, transparent, external condition is met.- This structure is a recognized corporate marketing strategy used globally to drive retail sales volume (analogous to traditional "conditional sales" promotions tied to weather, sports events, or retail milestones).
- There is an absolute absence of consideration or risk of financial loss. Consequently, the Platform's promotions do not constitute gambling, lottery, sports betting, or bookmaking under federal or state jurisdictions.
-
Game of Skill Contest Compliance
To the extent that any conditional rebate promotion requires a user to make predictions or selections regarding external sports metrics, such promotions are governed strictly by state-level Game of Skill Contest statutes.- Unlike sweepstakes or lotteries, these promotions do not rely on random chance or drawing mechanics.
- Because entries are granted solely as a conditional promotional incentive tied to a bona fide product purchase, and because participants are executing a skill-based evaluation of data, these promotions are legally compliant under the laws governing skill contests.
-
Jurisdictional Restrictions and Geofencing
While conditional marketing promotions are broadly recognized, certain jurisdictions maintain specific bonding, registration, or statutory restrictions regarding commercial skill contests and retail promotions.- To ensure absolute legal compliance, RebateRumble.com utilizes advanced geofencing and identity verification technology to restrict participation in specific regions chose as its sole discretion.
- Residents of these regions, and any jurisdiction where conditional promotions or sports-based skill contests are restricted by law, are strictly prohibited from participating in rebate-eligible promotions. Orders from these regions may be canceled or processed as standard, non-rebate retail sales.
-
Financial Integrity, Risk Management, and Reserves
The financial liabilities associated with outstanding conditional rebates are managed entirely on the Platform's corporate balance sheet.- Corporate Reserves: All potential rebate distributions are backed by proprietary internal accounting reserves, affiliate commission pools, and structured financial risk mitigation tools.
- Payout Hold Window: To protect the integrity of the ecosystem and prevent transactional arbitrage or return fraud, all qualifying rebates are subject to a 6-to-8-week verification and hold window. This window aligns strictly with our standard merchandise return and exchange policies. No rebate distributions will be authorized until the corresponding retail return period has fully expired.
-
Consumer Protection and FTC Disclosures
The Platform operates in strict compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding commercial advertising, endorsements, and consumer disclosures. All rules, conditions, and qualifying metrics required to trigger a rebate are clearly, conspicuously, and transparently displayed to the consumer prior to any transaction.
