Description of Services
Fincredit is the administrator of the Shop Bridgewater property tax reward program (the “Program”). Under the Program, when using a Shop Bridgewater loyalty-type reward card (the “Card”) at participating Bridgewater Township merchants and other selected participating merchants located outside Bridgewater Township (collectively the “Merchants”), the Merchants will provide Bridgewater Township’s property owner(s) (the “Homeowner” or “Homeowners” or the “Cardholder” or “Cardholders”) a rebate on purchases in the form of property tax credits (the "Rebate" or “Rebates”). The yearly transfer of credits to your property tax account is subject to $1 service fee.
Individuals participating in the program that do not own a property in Bridgewater Township will receive a check for the total amount of the rebate accumulated over the Shopping Period. Checks are subject to a $7 check handling fee. Weekly, Fincredit collects and deposits all the Rebates from the participating merchants in a dedicated bank account.
CARDHOLDERS HEREBY AKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FINCREDIT AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO COLLECT REBATES FROM PARTICIPATING MERCHANTS AND TO TRANSFER SUCH REBATES TO BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREDITING HOMEOWNERS PROPERTY TAX BILL OR TO SEND NON-PROPERTY OWNER PARTICIPANTS A REBATE CHECK. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, CARDHOLDERS AGREE THAT FINCREDIT AND ITS AFFILIATES ACT AS MERE AGENT IN THE COLLECTION AND PAYMENT OF FUNDS FROM THE MERCHANTS OFFERING THE REBATES TO THE BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAX BILL OR AS CHECK REBATES FOR THE BENEFIT OF NON-PROPERTY OWNER PARTICIPANTS.
IF FINCREDIT IS UNABLE TO COLLECT REBATES FROM THE MERCHANTS FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS IN THE MERCHANT ACCOUNT AT THE TIME THE REBATE PAYMENTS ARE REQUESTED FOR COLLECTION BY FINCREDIT, YOU AGREE THAT FINCREDIT, ACTING AS A MERE AGENT, WILL HAVE NO LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, AND THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS REGARDING ANY FAILURE OR BREACH WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM ARE LIMITED TO CLAIMS AGAINST ANY AND ALL MERCHANTS. PTC HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OUR INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY MERCHANT OR OTHER SUPPLIER THROUGH THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT, ERROR, OMISSION, INJURY, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY OR IRREGULARITY WHICH MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH THE FAULT, NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE, OF SUCH MERCHANT OR SUPPLIER AND YOU HEREBY EXONERATE PTC FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME.
YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER ITS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND ITS AGENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EDMUNDS ASSOCIATES, WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AND THAT THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER WILL CREDIT YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL ONLY AFTER RECEIVING PAYMENT FROM FINCREDIT SPECIFIC TO YOUR PROPERTY TAX ACCOUNT. IF THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER DOES NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT RELATING TO TAX CREDITS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH REBATES WERE COLLECTED BY FINCREDIT, CARDHOLDERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PROPERTY TAX LIABILITY AS IF THE REBATES WERE NEVER PROVIDED BY THE MERCHANTS TO THE CARDHOLDERS. THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE PROVIDERS OR OTHER SUPPLIER THROUGH THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT, ERROR, OMISSION, INJURY, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY OR IRREGULARITY WHICH MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH THE FAULT, NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE, OF SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER OR AND YOU HEREBY EXONERATE THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME.
CARDHOLDER AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A PRIVATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THAT THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT. NEITHER MERCHANT NOR FINCREDIT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH NOR ARE THEY AGENTS, SERVANTS OR EMPLOYEES OF TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER AND THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO BIND OR MAKE REPRESENTATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER.
The total Rebate amount earned by each individual Homeowner is transferred yearly to the TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER. In the case of renters and non-property owning individuals, rebate checks are also processed yearly. Rebates earned from May 1st of year 1, through April 30 of year 2 are allocated to Homeowner’s year2/year3 property tax bill.
Example:
12 months rebates earned: Transfer to TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER For credit to tax year: or processing of rebate checks will occur on or about:
From: May 1, 2013 to: April 30, 2014 June 1, 2014 2013/2014
It will be entirely at the discretion of the TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER on how the Rebates will be applied to your property tax bill. You understand and acknowledge that your participation in the Program is totally voluntary.
ONLY THOSE ACCOUNTS CURRENT ON ALL MUNICIPAL CHARGES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAM. FURTHERMORE, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF, ON THE DATE FINCREDIT RECEIVES THE TAX BILL FROM BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFERRING THE PROPERTY TAX CREDITS, YOU ARE NOT IN GOOD STANDING WITH YOUR PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT AND WATER AND SEWER PAYMENT, PTC WILL HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, TO REVOKE YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE PROGRAM. MOREOVER, IF THE ABOVE PAYMENT DELINQUENCY EXISTS, PTC WILL ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION, TO DISPOSE YOUR ACCUMULATED REBATES FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR IN A MANNER DIFFERENT THAN PROPERTY TAX CREDITS, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, REGARDLESS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE IN GOOD STANDING WHEN YOU EARNED THE REBATES UNDER THE PROGRAM.
To register in the Program and to use the Site, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ("Registration Data"); (b) maintain the security of your password and identification; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to Fincredit, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Registration Data and any other information you provide to Fincredit.
Upon registration, Cardholders will be able to access their account and review Rebates earned.
Cardholders will have access to a list of Merchants and the related percentage of tax rebate that the Merchants will provide when shopping at their location. The amount indicated is net of program fees and expenses. Program fees and expenses to manage the program is a percentage of the Rebate provided to the Cardholders by the Merchants.
Usage of the Card may not be combined with any other offer(s). Merchants will have the right, at their sole discretion, to decline acceptance of the Card. You acknowledge and agree that PTC has no control over the Merchants policy on accepting the Card. PTC will take no responsibility on the loss of Rebate or on the collectability of the Rebate due to a Merchant’s policy change towards the Program. You further acknowledge and agree that PTC will make every effort to keep the list of Merchants updated on the Site database. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PTC will not take responsibility for the accuracy of the Merchant’s list on the Site and/or on the related Rebates offered.
Cardholders acknowledge that information will be collected and stored by Fincredit. Cardholders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Registration Data and shopping record will be available to patronized Merchants. Merchants have the right to utilize the Registration Data, for statistical and marketing reasons, including, but not limited to, special offers via email. Upon your expressed acceptance at the time of Card registration, Merchant may text also you its special offers.
Rebates on current property tax accounts will result in prepayments of future property taxes.
Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that that gross income means all income from whatever source derived. A rebate received by a buyer from the party to whom the buyer directly or indirectly paid the purchase price for an item is an adjustment in purchase price, not an accession to wealth, and is not includible in the buyer’s gross income. See Rev. Rul. 76-96, 1976-1 C.B. 23, as modified by Rev. Rul. 2005-28, 2005-1 C.B. 997. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PTC makes no representation and will have no responsibility on the accuracy and enforcement of this ruling. Cardholders should consult their accountant when making a determination on handling taxation relating to Program-related Rebates.
Issues concerning Rebates when a Cardholder sells its property are the sole responsibility of the Cardholder and its buyer. PTC makes no representation and will not be involved in any adjustments and/or negotiations with regard to Rebates.
When moving to another location in the same town, the Cardholder may edit the information on its account and any unpaid rebates on its account will be automatically transferred to the new account. However if the Cardholder moves out of town and sells its property, then it is the responsibility of the Cardholder to negotiate payment of the outstanding credits with its buyer. PTC will not have any involvement in the private transaction of transferring the property tax credit from one Cardholder to another.
When a Cardholder returns an item that was previously subject to a Rebate, the original purchase receipt, the Rebate receipt and the Card must be presented for full reimbursement. If the item is returned after the Rebates are paid to the TOWNSHIP OF BRIDGEWATER on the Homeowner’s property tax account or after a rebate check is issued, the Cardholders will be entitled only to the difference of the purchase price paid and the amount of the Rebates paid from the Merchant to the Cardholders, including fees paid to Fincredit. You may request reimbursement of the fee by writing to Fincredit, PO Box 43, Marlboro NJ 07746 or by sending an email with the transaction details to Support@propertytaxcard.com.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, returns are subject to the return policy of the Merchants participating to the Program. PTC makes no representation or has no opinion or takes any responsibility with regard to the return policy of Merchants.
Upon registering the Card, an account is created whereby the Cardholders may review their purchase activity at participating Merchants and monitor their Rebates. Cardholders acknowledge and agree that PTC will have no responsibility as to the accuracy of this information. PTC disclaims any liability, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, including without limitation liability for any direct, punitive, special, consequential, incidental or other supplied through the Site, including without limitation, liability for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident delay or irregularity which may be incurred through the fault, negligent or otherwise, of such service provider and you hereby exonerate PTC from any liability with respect to the same.
