WETZEL’S REWARDS PROGRAM
Twisted by Wetzel’s offers the Wetzel’s Rewards Program (the "Rewards Program") to reward and thank our loyal location customers. The Rewards Program is available to enrolled members at participating Wetzel’s Pretzels in the United States. Rewards accumulated under the Rewards Program are promotional and may not be exchanged for cash. There are no membership fees associated with the Rewards Program.
Eligibility: You may enroll in the Rewards Program if you: (1) are a legal resident of the United States; (2) at least 16 years of age at the time you enroll; (3) have an active, valid email address; and (4) are a human being (i.e., a natural person). No corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or other legal entities can participate in the Rewards Program.
Enrollment/Rewards Account: You can enroll in the Rewards Program and create a Rewards account (“Rewards Account”) in one of the following ways:
Create an account through the App
Visit the Website: www.Order.Wetzels.com; or
Your Rewards Account is personal and exclusive to you. It may not be sold, transferred, assigned to, or shared with family, friends, or others. You may have only one (1) authorized Rewards Account.
As a part of the Rewards Program, Twisted by Wetzel’s will send you transactional, informational, and promotional messages and/or offers. These communications may happen in the form of push notifications through the App, email, and/or any other ways you may have selected when you enrolled in the Rewards Program. If your contact information changes, or if you wish to change your contact information or the method by which we send you messages, please log into your Rewards Account and update your contact information or preferences.
Rewards: You will earn and receive Points (as defined below) toward Rewards (as defined below) as follows:
Qualifying Purchases: Members will earn and receive Wetzel’s Pretzels redeemable points toward Rewards (“Points”) by making qualifying purchases at participating Wetzel’s Pretzels locations and scanning the QR code in the App at the cashier during an in-location purchase, scanning the barcode on the receipt from your purchase with the built-in scanner in the App, completing a purchase online while being signed in to your Wetzel’s Rewards account, or inputting the barcode number located at the bottom of your receipt within 24 hours of your purchase. For each purchase made in accordance with the foregoing, you will earn one (1) Point for every dollar spent pre-tax; provided that you will not earn Points if you spend less than a total of $1.00 in one transaction. Further, you may only earn Points twice per 24-hour period, meaning that you will only be eligible to receive points for two transactions, regardless of the number of transactions you make during any single visit or multiple visits within such 24-hour period.
You can track your Points and by logging into your Rewards Account History or by accessing the Rewards Page on the App.
Referral Bonuses: You can receive a 10 Point offer for every friend you refer who joins our Rewards Program. Your referral Points will not be awarded until the referred individual enrolls in the Rewards Program using your invite code and makes their first qualifying purchase under the Rewards Program.
Rewards: By accumulating points in your Rewards Account, you may have the opportunity to redeem them for certain menu item rewards at participating Wetzel’s Pretzels locations (a “Reward”). The Reward will be valid based on the date listed on the reward. Once you earn a Reward, you may start accumulating points towards another Reward. You may only redeem one Reward per transaction, regardless of the number of Rewards you have earned in your Rewards Account. A Reward may not be combined with any other discount, offer or coupon. Points expire after one year from the Points being awarded to your Rewards Account, and rewards expire based on the date listed on the offer.
Additional Rewards Program Terms: Twisted by Wetzel’s has the right to terminate your Rewards Account and/or your participation in the Rewards Program for any reason or no reason, including if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use or that the use of your account is unauthorized, deceptive, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful. We have the right to “unregister” and make ineligible for the Rewards Program any Rewards Account that has been inactive for one year. Inactive is defined as no Rewards earned.
Twisted by Wetzel’s has the right at any time, with or without giving you prior notice, to:
end or cancel the Rewards Program and/or any specific Reward;
change any Reward or other Rewards Program benefit we offer;
change the requirements for earning a particular Reward, including Points needed to redeem a Reward;
change the time you have in which to earn a particular Reward; and/or change any other feature of the Rewards Program.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
No matter where you use the Online Services or Content from, you also must comply with all laws applicable to such use, including U.S. export control laws that prohibit access from certain embargoed, prohibited, or restricted countries or access by prohibited, denied, and specially designated persons.
If the U.S. government (including the Department of Defense) wants to access the Online Services, your account, or our Content through you, the Online Services and Content will be considered “commercial computer software”, “commercial computer software documentation” and “restricted data” under “Limited Rights” and “Restricted Rights” and only as commercial end items under the same rights granted to other general users.
GOVERNING LAW/VENUE
The law applicable to the interpretation and construction of these Terms of Use and any transaction (including purchases made on or through Online Services), shall be the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws, but subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and other federal law relating to the arbitrability of claims.
Subject to the arbitration agreement stated below in these Terms of Use, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or a court of the State of California located in Los Angeles County, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
ARBITRATION
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN IF EITHER YOU OR WETZEL’S PRETZELS WANT TO BRING A CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE, OR IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS A RESULT OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT, EACH PARTY AGREES TO USE ARBITRATION AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MEANS TO BRING SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OR TO RESOLVE SUCH A DISPUTE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THE FOREGOING AND THE MORE SPECIFIC TERMS BELOW, EACH OF YOU AND COMPANY ARE GIVING UP THEIR RIGHT TO FORM OR BE A PART OF A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. YOU ARE NOT, HOWEVER, WAIVING YOUR ABILITY TO RECOVER DAMAGES. YOU MAY ALSO ASSERT INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS OTHERWISE QUALIFY. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO ARBITRATION.
ALTHOUGH ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE DIFFERENT FROM COURT PROCEDURES, SUCH AS THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED, AN ARBITRATOR, HOWEVER, CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT, INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES, AND JUDGMENT ON THAT AWARD MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, the party seeking to commence such arbitration must first notify the other party in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Wetzel’s Pretzels shall be sent by letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim and relief sought to our registered agent: Twisted by Wetzel’s, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, 35 Hugus Alley, Suite #300, Pasadena, CA 91103. We will provide notice to your email address(es) and street address(es), if any, associated with your account at the time the notice is sent. The parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), adr.org, 1.800.778.7879. The AAA will apply the Commercial Arbitration Rules to the arbitration of any Dispute pursuant to these Terms of Use, unless you are an individual and use the products and services for personal or household use, in which case the AAA will apply the Consumer Arbitration Rules (excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions).You can contact AAA to find out more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's applicable rules. Unless you and Wetzel’s Pretzels agree otherwise, the arbitration will occur in U.S. English and take place in Los Angeles County, California.
We each agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative, or collective action basis (“Class Action Waiver”). Further, unless both you and us agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims/causes of action and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If for any reason the Class Action Waiver set forth above cannot be enforced as to some or all of the claim/cause of action or dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that claim/cause of action or dispute or portion thereof. Any claim/cause of action or dispute covered by any deemed unenforceable Class Action Waiver provision may only be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will be binding and enforceable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties do not agree to class arbitration or to the arbitration of any claims/cause of action brought on behalf of others. If for any reason a claim/causes of action proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action against the other. In addition, we both agree that we each may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Regardless of notice, no arbitration may be commenced if barred by the statute of limitations applicable to the claim/cause of action or dispute. The arbitrators shall have no power to award punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages or damages in excess of the limitations set forth in Section titled “Limitations of Liability”. Even if other portions of these arbitration provisions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the arbitrators shall not have the power award or impose any remedy that could not be made or imposed by a court sitting in the jurisdiction and venue agreed to by the parties and deciding the matter in accordance with the governing law agreed to by the parties. All aspects of the arbitration including the result shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed unless required by legal, audit, or regulatory requirements. The amount of any settlement offer made by either party prior to arbitration cannot be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. The arbitration proceedings are hereby declared to be self-executing, and it shall not be necessary to petition a court to compel arbitration. The award of the arbitrators shall be binding and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR TWISTED BY WETZEL’S WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
