Get In-Touch

Terms of Service

1 – Introduction

  1. This user agreement (the Agreement) is an agreement between you and by I-TG International Services Limited, trading as In-Touch, a company incorporated in the UK with registered number 12038010 (the Company). The Agreement governs your use of the In-Touch free download applications for Android, Windows Mobile and iOS (iPhone) respectively (collectively the App), and governs your use of the App.
  2. You will be required to accept this Agreement when you enter the ‘My Account’ section of the App and provide your personal details for use in the My Account feature within the App (Account Information). Completing the My Account section allows you to use the features described in section 2 below. Should you decline the acceptance of this Agreement these aspects of the App will not be available to you.
  3. By using the App you agree that you have read and understood the terms and conditions of this Agreement and you acknowledge that these terms and conditions in their entirety shall apply to you.
  4. We reserve the right to amend, modify, update and change any of the terms of this Agreement. We advise you to check for updates on a regular basis. Any material changes to the Agreement will be notified to you through the messaging features of the App. Your continued use of the App will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of such changes.

2 -The My Account Feature in the App

  1. Your Account Information details will be sent to our In-Touch server. The Company will not store any passwords except locally on your device.
  2. The Privacy Policy, which is accessible through the App and forms an integral part of this Agreement, describes how we collect and use your Account Information.
  3. The Company reserves the right to use the Account Information in order to contact you in the future in relation to marketing any other products or services offered by the Company, any of its related group companies or participating merchants, unless you have opted out of such use in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

3 – Our Role

  1. In all circumstances when you purchase goods or services from participating merchants, the contract for the sale of those goods or services will be between you and the merchant.
  2. You understand and agree that the Company shall not be responsible for the outcome of your transactions with external merchants via the App. We do not have control, nor shall we be liable for, the legality of, or the use of, the goods and services that are part of the transaction whilst using the App.
  3. It is the responsibility of you and the relevant merchant, not us, to resolve any dispute or claim raised by you relating to any transactions made via the App (a Customer Claim). Where you have a dispute with a merchant, we will provide information we hold which may assist resolution and otherwise attempt to assist you as far as we consider practicable. We may charge you an administration fee to cover our reasonable costs of providing any such assistance.
  4. We will set up an Account to record points earned or redeemed by each Collector for each Retail Store.
  5. All Collectors must have a resident UK, Channel Island or Isle of Man address. Changes of address must be notified to us. Collectors must be over 18.
  6. In-Touch has Retail Stores through whom you earn points. These Stores are identified within the App. We award points when one of our Stores tells us a Collector has undertaken a relevant transaction with them. In-Touch Stores are companies with whom a Collector can redeem points to obtain goods and services or discounts (“Rewards”). These participating companies may change – an up to date list is available from us at any time within the In-Touch app. Stores determine the particular transactions on which points can be earned and the number of points to be earned. There is a set number of points needed to obtain a Reward. Each of these will change but in most cases there will be a base offer with further bonus offers that come and go. We cannot control every specific change in the participating companies or their offers.
  7. All Rewards are subject to availability. Transactions on which points are earned or redeemed are made directly with the relevant Store and we have no responsibility for the delivery, standard, quality or otherwise of any goods and services received or supplied or the failure of a Store to honour a redemption or make a specific Reward available. These transactions and all Rewards are subject to all applicable legal rules and the terms and conditions (including booking requirements, cancellation restrictions, return conditions, warranties and limitations of liability) of the Store. When points are redeemed we may act as intermediary between the relevant Collector and the Store.
  8. Points cannot be redeemed until credited to an In-Touch Account. Stores will take different periods to notify us of points to be credited. We are not responsible for a failure, delay or error by a Store notifying us of points to be credited.
  9. Points have no expiry date but are lost if the relevant In-Touch Account is closed or the In-Touch programme ends. Where points are redeemed for a Voucher carrying a specified cash discount or benefit, the Voucher will have an expiry date specified on it and will be subject to any other terms and conditions stated on the Voucher or otherwise publicised.
  10. Redeemed points cannot be used again. If a transaction on which points are issued or redeemed is cancelled, reversed or not completed, we will reverse the associated points movement when instructed by the relevant Store. If insufficient points are available, or we suspect fraud or misconduct, Rewards may be refused or cancelled.
  11. A Collector who continues to collect will get a regular update of the points position as we know it on the date we issue the update in respect of his/her Account including the points collected and redeemed by such Collector. Account information is also available from us. We will correct an In-Touch Account if it is shown to our reasonable satisfaction to be wrong but, unless there are clear records showing this, our decision is final.
  12. Points can only be earned, held, transferred or redeemed as set out in these Rules. Any other use, award, sale, exchange or transfer of points, or attempt to do so, is a serious breach of these Rules. Any points not earned and held in accordance with these Rules will be invalid and cannot be redeemed for Rewards. Any such points on an In-Touch Account will be deducted and, if they are redeemed, we will ask the Supplier to cancel the relevant Rewards and we may take other appropriate action. Points from more than one In-Touch Account cannot be combined to redeem for the same Reward. Points have no cash value.
  13. Anyone with an In-Touch Account can redeem points from that account for any available Reward.
  14. Our Privacy Policy (which is part of these Rules) sets out the information that we will gather on Collectors, how a Collector uses his/her Account and earns and redeems points, how this information will be used and who it may be shared with. It is included within the In-Touch app, on certain other materials we publish and is available from us. We will comply with our Privacy Statement – every Collector should read it carefully. If a Collector notifies us that they do not wish to receive marketing information from us or be contacted by us for promotional purposes in connection with In-Touch and/or by participating companies we will comply with such request and pass on any relevant request to participating companies.
  15. We may close any In-Touch Account on which no points have been earned or redeemed for a continuous period of at least 12 months. We may also, on notifying the Collector, immediately suspend or terminate the rights of any Collector, and/or close any relevant In-Touch Account, if they breach these Rules, if we reasonably believe that they have dealt with points in a manner not permitted by these Rules or any applicable Store’s terms and conditions, if there is any theft from or misconduct in connection with us, or any Store, if they supply false or misleading information to us or if they are abusive or offensive to any member of our staff. A Collector can close his/her In-Touch Account at any time by notifying us. If an In-Touch Account is closed the rights to redeem points from that In-Touch Account are lost.
  16. We may make changes to these Rules and will give the Collector as much notice as we reasonably can. Earning or redeeming points on an In-Touch Account will constitute acceptance of the revised Rules. We may suspend or terminate In-Touch but will give as much notice as we reasonably can before we do so. If this happens all In-Touch Accounts will be suspended or terminated. If we sell or transfer In-Touch to another company we may transfer all of our rights and obligations under these Rules without any further consent and may disclose or transfer all information we hold about Collectors to a prospective or actual new owner. Such a disclosure or transfer will not alter the rights of such Collectors in respect of the use that can be made of such information by such other company.
  17. We will only be liable to a Collector who suffers loss as a result of our breach of these Rules and, if so, our sole liability will be to credit to the relevant In-Touch Account any points which have been wrongly deducted or should have been credited but were not. These Rules shall not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. These Rules prevail in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with any other communications, including advertising or promotional materials.
