  4. Third-Party Merchant Terms and Liability. We may facilitate access to goods and services offered by third-party merchants through the Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html]; however, please note that we are not the supplier of these goods or services. When you use the Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html] to access a third-party merchant’s site, you will be leaving the Western Union site, and any interactions on the third-party site will be subject to that site’s terms and privacy notice. In addition, when using the Reward portal, you enter a direct contract with the third-party merchant, not with Western Union. Deals may not be available in all countries and are subject to the specific terms and conditions of the third-party merchant, which can be found on the merchant’s website or by contacting them directly. The value and terms of Deals may vary by merchant, and certain exclusions may apply as outlined in the offer terms and on the relevant store page. Any goods or services purchased through the Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html] are governed by the merchant’s return, exchange, and shipping policies, so it’s important to review these terms carefully. The redemption of discounts is ultimately subject to the merchant or their tracking agency’s approval. While we strive to provide access to Deals, we do not guarantee the availability or validity of any specific Deal. We are not responsible for any losses related to the safety, quality, or delivery of goods and services purchased through the Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html], and any issues must be resolved directly with the third-party merchant.
  5. Complaints. We hope you are satisfied with the Program, but if you wish to complain you can contact us as set forth in the Contact Us section at Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html].

  7. Assignment. You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement.
  8. Law Applying to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be concluded and interpreted in the English language. If this Agreement is translated into another language, it is for reference purposes only. The law of the country in which you reside will decide any legal questions about this Agreement, and about our dealings with a view to entering into this Agreement. The courts of the country in which you reside will also be able to deal with any legal questions connected with this Agreement.
  9. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is disallowed or found not to be effective by a court or regulator, the remainder of it will continue to apply.

We can make changes to this Agreement for any of the following reasons: (a) because of a change in law; (b) if the change benefits you, for example when introducing new Program functionality; (c) in response to possible risks to the security of your Rewards Account; or (d) reasonable and proportionate changes for any other reason we cannot foresee, for example to respond to changes in our industry that affect how we wish to deliver our services to you. You may be notified of changes by e-mail, SMS or within your Rewards Account; we may also notify you of changes by posting them on [https://www.westernunion.com/global/en/rewards.html]. You can tell us you do not accept any changes by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section at Rewards portal [https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/rewards/home.html] but this will end the Agreement. If you do not object to the change and continue to use the Services, we will take that as your acceptance of the change.
  11. Termination. This Agreement will continue until you or we end it. You may end this Agreement, including closing your Rewards Account, at any time by a method described in your Rewards Account. If you do this, your participation in the Program will terminate within thirty (30) days after we receive your request. We can end this Agreement, including closing your Rewards Account, for any reason by giving notice to you. We can also end this Agreement (and close your Rewards Account) more quickly if required to do so by law, or if you have violated the rights or infringed upon a legitimate interest of a third-party.
  12. These Terms.
