Join Shop Local Rewards

Go Local Rewards — Member Code of Conduct By joining Go Local Rewards, you agree to the following. These terms protect our members, our merchant partners, and the communities we serve. You must read and accept these terms to join. If we update them, you will be asked to accept the new version before continuing. 1. Respect goes both ways — and is required from everyone. All members, including members who are also merchants, agree to treat every person connected to the Go Local Rewards network with dignity and respect at all times. This includes customers, staff, fellow members, other merchants, and Go Local Rewards personnel. Cursing, yelling, threatening, intimidating, or verbally abusing any person — in person, by phone, online, in reviews, or in any other communication — is grounds for immediate suspension or termination. This rule applies equally to merchants and consumers. A merchant who mistreats a member is subject to the same consequences. 2. No harassment or discrimination. You agree not to harass, discriminate against, or demean any person based on race, religion, gender, age, disability, or national origin. This applies in any setting involving Go Local Rewards merchants, members, or staff. 3. Honest participation only. You agree not to submit fraudulent receipts, manipulate reward balances, create multiple accounts, refer yourself or fictitious accounts, or exploit any feature of the platform for unintended gain. Any attempt to defraud the platform, its members, or its merchants will result in immediate termination. 4. No abuse of the referral program. Referrals must be genuine. You may not refer yourself under another name, compensate or incentivize others to sign up artificially, or create accounts for the sole purpose of generating referral rewards. 5. Your account, your responsibility. Your Go Local Rewards account may be shared with your household and family members — we encourage it. The more your family shops local, the more rewards you earn together. However, you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Any violation of this Code of Conduct by anyone using your account is your responsibility. Go Local Rewards may not distinguish between account holders and family members when determining whether a violation occurred. 6. Respect merchant policies. You agree to respect the posted policies, hours, and staff of all participating Go Local Rewards merchants. Membership in Go Local Rewards does not entitle you to treatment beyond the rewards program itself. 7. Non-Compete and Non-Circumvention. By joining Go Local Rewards, you agree not to use knowledge of our merchant network, member base, platform mechanics, referral structure, or business relationships to establish, assist, or participate in a competing rewards or loyalty platform targeting the same merchants or members. You also agree not to circumvent the Go Local Rewards platform by directly soliciting merchants or members you discovered through Go Local Rewards for the purpose of recreating or replicating any part of this network outside of it. A violation of this clause is grounds for immediate termination and may subject you to legal action. Go Local Rewards reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, what constitutes a violation of this clause. 8. Termination is at our sole discretion. Go Local Rewards reserves the right to suspend or terminate any membership at any time, for any conduct we determine to be harmful to our members, merchants, or community — including conduct not explicitly listed here. We do not require a pattern of behavior to act. A single serious incident is sufficient grounds for immediate termination. 9. Your rewards go to your cause — no exceptions. Upon termination, your full rewards balance will be contributed to the cause you selected when you joined Go Local Rewards. This is not negotiable, cannot be changed after a termination decision is made, and is not subject to appeal. Terminated members have no further claim to any rewards balance. 10. Right to appeal — subject to our sole discretion. If your account is suspended or terminated, you have the right to submit one written appeal. Go Local Rewards will review your appeal and render a decision. That decision is final. We reserve the sole right to uphold, modify, or reverse any suspension or termination based exclusively on what we determine to be in the best interest of the Go Local Rewards community. A second appeal will not be considered. You may not create a new account while an appeal is pending or after a termination has been finalized. 11. Changes to these terms. Go Local Rewards may update this Code of Conduct at any time and for any reason. When we do, you will be required to review and re-accept the updated terms before continuing to use the platform. Your continued use of Go Local Rewards following re-acceptance constitutes your binding agreement to the new terms. 12. Governing law and venue. These terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Louisiana. Any disputes arising from your membership or these terms will be resolved exclusively in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and you consent to jurisdiction there.
