Terms & Conditions

Harris Interactive is proud to introduce HIpoints, a points system designed to reward Harris Poll Online members who complete surveys for Harris Interactive in the following countries: the United States and United States territories, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. In order to bring you this new and exciting program, Harris Interactive has contracted with its agent, Incentive Logic, Inc., to provide you with this special HIpoints website as part of our new Harris Poll Online Rewards program.

Participation is simple. Upon successful completion of your first eligible survey on Harris Poll Online with HIpoints, your HIpoints account will be automatically created. To activate your account, simply log into the HIpoints website using the login information that was emailed to your Harris Poll Online email account. Each time you complete an additional eligible survey, you will earn more HIpoints. The number of HIpoints earned will depend on the length of the survey completed, and on these terms and conditions.

Participation in the HIpoints program is subject to these terms and conditions, and any other rules, conditions, policies, or procedures that Harris Interactive may adopt from time to time. Please, therefore, take the time to review these terms and conditions so you can learn all about how you can earn HIpoints, how you can redeem HIpoints, and other important program information.

The HIpoints program and its benefits are provided to you at the discretion of Harris Interactive and Harris Interactive has the right to terminate the program, or to change these terms and conditions, the exclusive awards, or conditions of participation, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. Such changes include increasing the amount of HIpoints required to redeem any exclusive award, or change or removal of any of the awards currently available, at any time, with or without notice to you. If Harris Interactive does provide notice of changes, it may do so by email, regular mail or by general posting on the HIpoints website. Other examples of the types of changes to the HIpoints program that Harris Interactive may make are described in these terms and conditions. Although every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this document is accurate, Harris Interactive is not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.

If you do not wish for us to share your information, you may notify us accordingly by sending a written note to the attention of the HIpoints/Incentive Logic Customer Care Team.

Activating Accounts and Earning HIpoints

Currently, HIpoints can only be earned by completion of an eligible survey. Upon completion of their first eligible survey Harris Poll Online survey, Harris Poll Online members will be automatically registered in the HIpoints program. As stated previously, members need to activate their HIpoints accounts after completing the first eligible survey with HIpoints by logging into the HIpoints website utilizing the user name and password provided to them via email. HIpoints will be earned after the first survey and after every eligible survey thereafter.

Members will be notified either in the email invitation or survey itself to the number of HIpoints offered for completing the survey.

Who Is Eligible

The HIpoints program is open to Harris Poll Online members aged 13 and older who are legal residents of the following countries: the United States and United States territories, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. Employees of Harris Interactive and Incentive Logic as well as members of their households or immediate families who are members of Harris Poll Online are eligible to participate.

HIpoints will be deposited in member accounts in as little as a few seconds to as much as 4 weeks after completing the eligible survey. Reasonable effort is made to correctly allocate earned HIpoints to one's account. However, members are responsible for ensuring that their HIpoints are properly credited. HIpoints will be maintained in member accounts until they are redeemed or forfeited, whichever occurs first.

Harris Interactive may change or remove any of the HIpoints earning activities currently recognized, at any time, with or without notice to its members. The HIpoints that members earn are not considered to be property and, as such, one cannot sell, transfer, or assign their HIpoints to any other person, under any circumstances, without Harris Interactive's written permission.

Redeeming HIpoints

HIpoints can be redeemed once a Member has accrued the required number of HIpoints for a redemption award provided that the member's account is in good standing. Merchandise available for redemption awards can be viewed and selected through the HIpoints Folios. The value of a selected reward in a Folio cannot exceed that of the number of HIpoints currently accrued in the Member's HIpoints account. Making a selection of a reward from a Folio of a lesser value is permitted, and any unused HIpoints will remain in the user's HIpoints account for future use. HIpoints will be immediately subtracted from the user's account upon merchandise selection. Members cannot combine HIpoints from different accounts for awards redemption purposes. All items are subject to availability and some merchandise has limited availability. Merchandise can only be shipped to U.S approved shipping locations. Neither redeemed prizes nor unredeemed HIpoints are transferable for cash.

HIpoints have no cash value. Accounts with values less than the first eligible redemption level are not eligible for any redemption award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Harris Interactive may, in its sole discretion, offer merchandise, promotional items, or other options to Members with HIpoints account balances less than the first eligible redemption level.

Members can view their current HIpoints account balance online. This section of the site is restricted to members only, and members must enter their user name and password to view their account information and other HIpoints details.

HIpoints may be spent only on rewards offered through Harris Interactive and its agent, Incentive Logic, Inc. at the time of redemption. Redeemed HIpoints will be subtracted from the member's account once the reward is requested. Harris Interactive reserves the right to refuse a refund of HIpoints to a member if merchandise is returned.
