Please ensure that you have read and understood these terms and conditions as this will form the basis of our contractual relationship.

If you require any further information in connection with this Agreement, the Cashback Services or if you have any questions you would like answered before you register or register your card, please contact us through the help section at zw.cashbackapp.com
2. Conditions that apply to your account
2.1. Registering for Cashback: You must be 18 years of age before you can use our website to collect Cashback and you must live in an active country. You will need to register through our website and provide all information that we request from you. Any information you provide should be accurate and not untrue or misleading. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the information you provide (including bank or card details and e-mail addresses) remains up to date. If you change your details, please notify us as soon as possible. All our validly registered users shall be known as ‘Cardholders’ and upon completion of your registration you will be given a unique account number, which you should keep secret.
2.2. Earning Cashback: Our programme allows you to receive Cashback on Qualifying Transactions whenever you fulfil the withdrawal conditions.
2.3. You expressly agree to authorise each and every one of our Transaction Verifiers to verify your purchase transactions for us, and provide us with such information, so that we may provide the Cashback services to you.
2.4. For the purpose of this agreement you expressly agree that all Transaction Verifiers are not party to any transaction you make and are only required by us to verify your purchase transactions. You also agree that all Transaction Verifiers cannot and will not be held liable by you for any direct or indirect loss or damages which you may suffer for any reason, including but not limited to, merchants closing their businesses and not paying the monies due, or our own non-performance. Furthermore you expressly agree that all Transaction Verifiers are not in any way responsible for your cashback.
2.5. A “Qualifying Transaction” is one where we receive confirmation from a Transaction Verifier that a Cardholder’s transaction is genuine, has been successfully processed and can be tracked by our systems. Cashback will be paid at the agreed rate set by the Authorised Merchant and whilst we take reasonable care to ensure all marketing and promotional Cashback rates are accurate, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or variations to the published rate.
In the event that a Cardholder changes or receives an updated bank card, such that the 16-digit number or security information is altered, you must advise us as soon as possible. Failure to update this information will mean you are unable to claim Cashback until such time as our records are updated. In cases where your bank, or our service provider, provides us with your new card details you authorise us to replace the details in our system on your behalf. Please note that we cannot back-date Cashback in any circumstances and your Cashback enabled card must be used at the time of purchase.
Snapcash Receipts Programme: Where you have chosen to earn or claim Cashback as a result of our “Snapcash receipts programme”, you agree that Cashback may only be awarded by us where you have submitted a transaction receipt from an Authorised Merchant via our official mobile application and that clearly shows part of the 16-digit number of your card and details of the transaction you wish to register. You agree that the Authorised merchant’s decision or ours on their behalf, to accept and/or pay cashback on any receipt is final and binding.
2.6. Withdrawing Cashback & Our Fees:
2.6.1. Once a Cardholder completes a Qualifying Transaction and we have received the Cashback amount from the Authorised Merchant, we will pass this on to the Cardholder’s account. Once your account balance reaches $50 or more, the Cashback balance may be withdrawn. Please ensure any personal and/or bank details you provide us are up to date and accurate, as we cannot be held responsible for any delay or error in processing your withdrawal request as a result of out of date or incorrect information. Whilst we expect withdrawal requests to be processed and sums to arrive in your account within 10 business days, please be aware that some requests may take longer due to internal checks and transfer timescales.
2.6.2. If any dispute arises as to the amount of cashback payable by CBP to the Registered Customer, the same shall be referred to independent auditors for settlement and their certificate shall be final and binding on both parties
2.6.3. Our Fees: When your Cashback balance is withdrawn, you will receive the value of the total Cashback earned by you less the fees we have charged you for providing the Cashback Services. These fees ($20 of the first withdrawal per annum) collected only on withdrawal, are notified to you when you register for the Cashback Services.
2.6.4. You should be aware that any Cashback generated by you has no cash value until such time as it is validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, until the available balance is withdrawn (less any fees) the Cashback does not belong to you.
2.7. When we will not pay Cashback: You will not be allowed to withdraw Cashback where we have terminated (or are entitled to terminate) this Agreement in accordance with clause 6; you have not logged into your account more than once in any consecutive 12 month period; the Cashback was not generated as a result of a verifiable Qualifying Transaction; the transaction on which any Cashback was due was reversed refunded or cancelled by any party; or you terminate or close your account with us before withdrawing all Cashback sums eligible for withdrawal. Where your Cashback balance is validly withdrawn before a transaction is reversed or cancelled, we will debit the balance of your Cardholder account accordingly.
Cashback Services and us: Neither CashbackSA, cashbackapp.com, cashbacksa.com, zw.cashbackapp.com, Cashbackpoint Proprietary Limited or Cashbackpoint Proprietary Limited’s group or parent companies are party to any of the transactions you make – this is a separate contract made between you and the retailer. As such, we do not have any liability in respect of the goods you’ve acquired from them, nor do we have any control or accept responsibility in relation to the quality or safety of these goods or whether the retailer is legally entitled to sell these goods to you. We recommend that you make suitable enquiries of any retailer before you commit to purchasing goods/services from them, whether online or in-store. We would highlight that the Cashback Services consist of providing a website and administration facility to assist your collection of Cashback.
