Section 5. TICKET PURCHASE POLICY
5.1 Our Purchase Policy governs any purchases you make through the Site.

A "New Member Order" means the first order for goods on the Site placed by a new member to the Site to whom you sent an email invitation to join the Site. In addition, new members who were referred by existing members can also receive a Reward; upon such new member�s account activation, such new member�s account will be credited with a Reward.

At no time may you purchase, sell or barter any Rewards. Rewards have no cash value. They are promotional in nature and are issued without any exchange of money or value from you. As such, Rewards do not constitute property and you do not have a vested property right or interest in the Rewards. We will notify you when any Rewards are posted to your account. In general, Rewards do not expire until your membership on the Site is terminated; however, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Sports Ticket Specials reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion, and without prior notice, to revoke Rewards, discontinue the Rewards program or to add or change Rewards program rules, terms or conditions, including adding expiration periods or Rewards values for existing or future Rewards credits.
