5. INNER CIRCLE® LOYALTY PROGRAM
MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY
The Program is available only at participating Circle K USA locations. In addition:
Participation is limited to natural persons; corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, groups, and associations are not eligible. The Program is for non-commercial purposes only.
Program benefits and rewards are non-transferable, non-refundable, and may not be sold or redeemed for cash. Benefits may be accumulated and rewards redeemed only by the member upon presentation of membership barcode or mobile phone number.
Easy Pay cardholders can connect (“link”) their card number to their existing Inner Circle account. This will permit Easy Pay swiping to count as Inner Circle identification. If you choose to enroll in Easy Pay through the App, your Easy Pay card will be automatically linked to your Inner Circle account. If you change or delete your Inner Circle account, you will have to reconnect your account manually. You can disconnect your Easy Pay card from your Inner Circle account at any time. If you disconnect, you can relink at any time.
Members must keep their personal information current. The Company may cancel memberships with incomplete or inaccurate information and has no obligation to grant rewards or provide communications to members who fail to provide or update their information.
Visits and rewards are promotional and have no cash value, are not gift certificates, and are not property, unless otherwise stated on the reward.
Company may reverse, cancel, or adjust Visits or rewards if awarded in error, through fraud, abuse, technical malfunction, or violation of these Terms.
BENEFITS ACCUMULATION
To earn benefits, members must present at the cash register or enter at the fuel payment terminal a valid membership bar code or valid registered mobile number, before presentation of payment, when making a purchase at a participating store.
Members may now earn one (1) Visit per qualifying transaction as follows:
Fuel Visits: One (1) Visit is earned when a member purchases at least five (5) gallons of any fuel grade in a single transaction at a participating location. Single car wash purchases made at the pump without the purchase of at least five (5) gallons of fuel do not earn a Visit. Must provide mobile number or scan membership barcode prior to purchase to be valid and count. Maximum of five (5) total Visits can be earned in a 24-hour period.
In-Store Visits: One (1) Visit is earned when a member makes a qualifying in-store purchase with a basket subtotal of at least $3.00 (before taxes and fees). Must provide mobile number or scan membership barcode prior to purchase to be valid and count. Maximum of five (5) total Visits can be earned in a 24-hour period.
No Visits are earned for purchases of the following products and services:
Lottery, alcohol in states where prohibited (California), services (including but not limited to bus passes, phone/internet cards, taxes/fees, donations), bottle deposits/redemptions.
Product returns are handled according to Company’s product return and exchange policy. Company reserves the right to subtract the benefits earned in the returned product’s purchase or a promotion involving said product.
If not explicitly stated, the Company reserves the right to determine if a product or service counts as a Visit.
Company reserves the right at any time with no prior notice, to add or exclude, at its sole discretion, eligible items for benefits.
Visits expire within 6 months of issuance.
LIMITATION
Certain states impose restrictions on fuel discounts, alcohol promotions, or other consumer packaged goods incentives. Accordingly:
Some reward types may be unavailable or modified in certain states.
Maximum per-gallon discounts may be capped by state law.
Alcohol purchases may not qualify toward Visit earning in certain states.
Members in restricted states may receive alternative rewards of equal or lesser value, as determined by Circle K in its sole discretion.
Circle K reserves the right to substitute rewards as necessary to comply with applicable law.
REWARDS
Customers may cash in Visits in exchange for available rewards in the mobile app or on the website.
Unless otherwise specifically provided, rewards and other benefits earned through the Program expire thirty (30) days after issuance. ALL REWARDS MUST BE REDEEMED BY THE EXPIRATION DATE INDICATED IN THE APP.
To redeem their reward, members must enter or present their membership ID number at a participating store or follow other instructions provided by Company.
Rewards may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Furthermore, Company may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, partner with various businesses of its choice on Program offers and joint promotions. Company may, at its sole discretion, offer personalized promotions, promotional activities, contests or others exclusively to certain categories of members. The details, terms and conditions of such promotions are communicated to members.
If a member reaches a Visit milestone but does not select or redeem an available reward within a period designated by the Company, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to automatically cash in the member’s Visits for a reward available at the then-current milestone threshold. The reward automatically issued may vary based on availability, state law restrictions, or Program configuration at the time of redemption. Automatic redemption does not extend any reward expiration period and does not entitle the member to any alternative reward, cash value, or substitution.
EASY PAY AND INNER CIRCLE ACCOUNT LINKING
Easy Pay cardholders may link their card number to an existing Inner Circle account, allowing Easy Pay swipes to serve as Inner Circle identification.
If you enroll in Easy Pay through the App, your Easy Pay card will automatically link to your Inner Circle account.
If you change or delete your Inner Circle account, you must manually relink your Easy Pay card.
You may disconnect your Easy Pay card from your Inner Circle account at any time and relink it at any time thereafter.

Pre-Arbitration Notification. The Company and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that the Company need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP Disputes,” with all other disputes referred to as “General Disputes”). The party making a claim – whether you or the Company – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If the Company is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in the Company account, if applicable.

If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to 1130 W Warner Rd., Tempe, AZ 85284 USA (Attn: General Counsel). If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Section 19.

Arbitration of Claims. All actions or proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the provisions of this Section, shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, before a single arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. We may have the right to pay the JAMS fees if required for arbitration to be enforceable. If you are a consumer you have the right to an in-person hearing. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The parties may engage in the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. Neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms waiving or limiting that relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction in Phoenix, Arizona or, if sought by the Company, such other court that may have jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this Section; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after the issuance of the arbitrator’s decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party may enforce such decision by a petition to the Maricopa County Superior Court or, in the case of you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award.

This Section 19 shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and the Company agree that we intend that this Section 19 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. Section 19 can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this Section 19 in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.
Class Action Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, both you and the Company waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class, collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this Section 19 is found to be void or otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.
Jury Waiver. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring a qualifying claim of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Section 19.F.
The provisions of Section 19 shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. Section 19 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Service or these Terms.
20. RIGHT OF PUBLICITY
By participating in the Program, you irrevocably grant to Company (and its affiliated companies and their respective authorized representatives), where lawful, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right (but not the obligation) to use your name, image, photographs, videotape, likeness, hometown name, biographical information, voice, and any statements you make regarding the Program, Company, or Company’s products for publicity, trade, advertising, and promotional purposes in any media now known or later developed, including the Internet, mobile devices, and the World Wide Web, without additional compensation or any right of review, notice, or approval.
21. SEVERABILITY; INTERPRETATION
If any provision of these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms is deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be severed and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms or the applicable Additional Terms. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any statutory or common law principles that would permit these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms to be construed against their drafter.
22. INVESTIGATIONS; COOPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
As permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to: (i) investigate suspected breaches of Service security or its information technology systems, networks, these Terms, or any applicable Additional Terms; (ii) use and disclose information obtained in accordance with our Privacy Policy to review law enforcement databases or comply with applicable laws, law enforcement requests, or legal requirements; (iii) cooperate with law enforcement authorities; (iv) prosecute violations of these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms; and (v) discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, or suspend or terminate your access, accounts, or registrations at any time, without notice, for any reason, and without liability to you or any third party.
Suspension or termination will not affect your obligations under these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms. Upon suspension or termination, or notice from the Company, all rights granted to you under these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms will immediately cease, and you must promptly discontinue use of the Service (including deleting any downloads). Any provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including all rights and licenses granted to the Company, and all indemnities, releases, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.
23. ASSIGNMENT
The Company may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. You may not assign these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or delegate your obligations under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of the Company.
24. COMPLETE AGREEMENT; NO WAIVER
These Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms, reflect our complete agreement regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements, representations, warranties, assurances, or discussion related to the Service. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, (i) no failure or delay by you or the Company in exercising or enforcing any of the rights, powers, or remedies granted hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy; and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
