Participation in any Community Reward programme, including the JOT Star Programme or OG JOT Star Programme, does not guarantee continued eligibility, future rewards, commercial opportunities, promotional exposure or any specific benefits.

All eligibility criteria, selection processes and programme benefits shall be determined solely by JOT.

By submitting your registration, you expressly authorise and consent to JOT:

1. collecting, storing and processing your registration information;
2. automatically creating your JOT account using the email address provided during registration once the Service officially launches;
3. associating your pre-launch participation history, Community Rewards, referral records and JOT Coins with such account;
4. sending account verification emails, transactional communications, launch notifications, Community Reward updates, referral information, security alerts and other service-related notices; and
5. where permitted by applicable law and subject to your communication preferences, sending newsletters, promotional offers, product updates and marketing communications.

You acknowledge that certain communications are necessary for the operation of the Service and cannot be opted out of unless your account is deleted or your registration is withdrawn.

Subject to verification and these Terms, eligible Pre-Launch Registrants may receive promotional JOT Coins as follows:

1. fifty (50) JOT Coins for a standard eligible registration; or
2. one hundred and fifty (150) JOT Coins where registration is completed through an eligible OG JOT Star referral link.

Promotional allocations remain subject to fraud detection, verification and final approval by JOT.

Eligible users may receive a unique referral link.

Subject to compliance with these Terms, a referrer may receive ten (10) JOT Coins for each successful referral where the referred individual:

1. registers using the designated referral link;
2. completes all verification requirements prescribed by JOT; and
3. satisfies all eligibility requirements applicable to the promotion.

JOT reserves the right to reject or reverse referral rewards where referrals are generated through duplicate accounts, bots, automated systems, fake identities, self-referrals, coordinated abuse, fraudulent activity or any conduct that undermines the integrity of the programme.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by JOT:

1. JOT Coins remain the exclusive property of JOT;
2. JOT Coins have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money;
3. JOT Coins may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise dealt with;
4. JOT Coins do not accrue interest or investment returns;
5. unused JOT Coins may expire, be adjusted or be forfeited in accordance with these Terms or applicable promotional rules; and
6. JOT Coins may only be redeemed or utilised in accordance with redemption programmes introduced by JOT from time to time.

JOT may investigate any account, referral activity, reward accumulation or promotional participation.

Where JOT reasonably believes that fraud, abuse, manipulation or circumvention of these Terms has occurred, JOT may suspend accounts, reverse Community Rewards, cancel JOT Coins, revoke programme eligibility and take any other action permitted by law.

JOT's determination shall be final unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Details relating to promotional campaigns, reward calculations, referral mechanics, campaign durations, bonus allocations and eligibility requirements may be communicated through emails, in-app notifications, official announcements or other communications issued by JOT.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the most recent published promotional terms applicable to the relevant campaign shall prevail.

Participation in the OG JOT Star Programme is by invitation or application only and remains subject to JOT's approval.

Eligibility requirements may include minimum social media following, engagement metrics, content quality, reputation, authenticity, activity level or any other criteria determined by JOT.

Meeting any published eligibility threshold does not guarantee acceptance into the programme.

Eligible OG JOT Star participants shall receive a designated referral link.

Individuals registering through such referral link may receive one hundred and fifty (150) JOT Coins instead of the standard registration allocation, subject to verification and campaign eligibility.

Eligible OG JOT Star participants may receive promotional Food & Beverage partnership packages.

Subject to programme requirements, participants may receive:

1. three (3) initial F&B partnership packages; and
2. three (3) additional packages for every five hundred (500) verified successful referrals.

Availability of partnership packages depends upon participating merchants, campaign availability and any additional eligibility requirements determined by JOT.

JOT may substitute, modify or discontinue any partnership benefit without liability.

Subject to compliance with these Terms, verified OG JOT Star participants may receive a promotional launch bonus whereby accumulated eligible JOT Coins are doubled when their official JOT account is activated using the same registered email address.

JOT reserves the right to verify eligibility before granting any launch bonus.

JOT may suspend, modify or terminate the OG JOT Star Programme, amend eligibility criteria, revise benefits, withdraw privileges or remove participants from the programme at any time where it reasonably considers such action necessary to protect the integrity of the Service or comply with applicable laws.

Participation in the Programme does not create any employment relationship, agency, partnership, joint venture or entitlement to future commercial opportunities with JOT.

Your participation as a Business User may be subject to additional agreements, commercial terms, advertising policies, merchant guidelines, partnership arrangements or programme-specific conditions issued by JOT from time to time.

In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and a separately executed written agreement between JOT and the Business User, the provisions of the separate written agreement shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

Business listings may be created through user contributions, publicly available information, authorised business registrations or other lawful sources determined by JOT.

The creation of a business listing does not imply any endorsement, partnership, sponsorship or affiliation between JOT and the relevant business.

While JOT endeavours to maintain accurate business information, JOT does not represent or warrant that any listing, description, operating hours, menu, pricing, location, photographs, ratings or other business information is complete, accurate or current.

Users should independently verify information before relying upon it.

Eligible businesses may request to verify, claim or manage their business profile through the "For Businesses" platform or by contacting JOT using the contact details provided in these Terms.

JOT reserves the right to require reasonable evidence of ownership, authority or affiliation before granting administrative access to any business profile.
