Human8 operates and manages the communities (An online insight community is an online platform which connects people to participate in a brand’s research activities. It is supervised by a dedicated moderator and can have a variable duration from short term to ongoing.) on its platform the Square on behalf of its Clients.

Every Activity has its own set of criteria to be eligible to participate. As such not all participants will be qualified for a specific Activity, only the participants who meet the criteria will be invited. This entails that even if you are part of a certain Community, you will not get invited to all of the Activities launched within the Community.

  • has been involved in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including but not limited to creating several response profiles to participate more than once in an Activity research study, being dishonest about their profile); 
  • does not act in accordance with the official rules and/or  
  • is showing ‘bad’ participant behaviour (bad behaviour includes but is not limited to speeding (i.e. when the time spent on completing an activity or survey is 50% shorter than the median, which suggests the questions/ activities have not been answered accurately), straight-lining (i.e. selecting the same response option for a set of questions in a survey) or providing inaccurate or incomplete data (i.e. adding repetitive or monosyllabic answers to most or all questions/ activities, or answering questions or sub-questions partially)), answering with minimum effort and low quality in discussions and community challenges. 

(together referred to as “Disqualifying Behaviour”)  

Human8 or Client, in their own discretion, reserves the right to disqualify that participant, forfeit the points of a participant, withhold access or recover any incentives or Rewards (in any form whatsoever) and/or unsubscribe the participant from the Activities, community, research study and/or panels.

If Human8 or any of its Clients have incurred any damage (direct or indirect) due to Disqualifying Behaviour by participant, participant shall indemnify and hold Human8 and/or Client harmless for the damage incurred.  

4. PROCESS TO GAIN POINTS AND SUBSEQUENTLY REWARDS 

4.1 Collection of points 

A Reward shall be obtained based on the points a participant earns. Points can be exchanged for Rewards. Each Activity has its own Rewards and points. Points can be earned through completing an activity or stream of activities by adhering to a certain standard (meaning quality of the completion/responses) according to the Rules applicable within a certain time frame. The points earned will be automatically added to the participant’s balance under My Rewards Page once the activity closes.  

The details of each Activity will be available in the activity and on the activity card. How to earn points will be explained on the reward card and in the FAQ section. This information will minimum include (I) the number of points that can be earned by completing the Activity (ii) the specific timeframe (including start date). 

For the avoidance of doubt, participants can earn points by completing Activities under the condition that quality of their responses/completion meets the standards set by Human8 or its Clients. Quality of the responses will be determined by Human8 or the Clients, in their own discretion. A response will be considered as sufficient if that response is following the guidelines provided in the activity in a detailed manner. If a response fails to meet the standards set by Human8 or its Client and as such are not considered as a quality response, Human8 or its Client will have the right to remove, reject the response and no points will be granted.   

Points are always whole numbers from 1 upwards. Human8 or its clients always preserves the right to manually intervene on the My Rewards Page and alter the points earned if (including but not limited to) (i) participant have conducted Bad Behaviour (ii) participants are being considered as Inactive (see section below) (iii) Human8 has to intervene to grant the Rewards manually. 

4.2 Expiration of points 

As long as the participant is active on the Community and takes part in the Activities the participant is invited to, the acquired Points will remain valid. Active entails providing quality responses and completing Activities.  

Unless previously and explicitly stated otherwise, participants will be deemed to be inactive if they fail to provide a quality response to minimum 6 consecutive Activities where they were invited to within a time period of 365 days. Only in case the participant has not responded to 6 consecutive invitations of which minimum 1 invite was sent in the first half and minimum 1 invite was sent in the second half of the 365 days, the points will expire. The counter on the My Rewards Page will show an amount of 0 points. 

If a participant is inactive the points will expire as from the moment that he/she fails to respond in a timely (meaning the response needs to occur before the activity end date) and quality manner to the 6th invitation.  

After a Community has closed, the remaining points that participants have acquired during the term of the Project will be lost. The rewards page will show that the number of points will be 0. In case the Community is reopened the points will no longer be available. 

4.3 Rewards 

Depending on the amount of points that each participant has earned a Reward can be granted. In some cases this can occur automatically (by reaching a certain threshold or by intervention of Human8 or its Client) or the participant itself can choose to redeem its points for a Reward. In this case, participants can click the redeem button in order to receive their Reward. Your Reward will be granted within a reasonable time period, more information can be found on the reward card or FAQ.  You will receive an email and will be asked to provide us with the necessary personal information to grant you the rewards (being full name and address). This personal data confirmation link will be valid for 90 days, afterwards the reward will expire and you won’t be able to redeem it anymore. 

Depending on the Community and the reward partner (and their reward availability) the Reward can be redeemed in one of the following options: 

  • Voucher; 
  • Product; 
  • Online payment; 
  • Charitable donation.

(the “Reward”) 

Vouchers are subject to their terms and conditions. Participants are not entitled to a cash equivalent. Vouchers can specify the period within they must be redeemed. Human8 or Client will not be responsible if a voucher is lost, stolen, expired or destroyed and no replacement will be provided in these circumstances. They are not valid on prior purchases. Rewards will not be replaced if lost or stolen. In no event will the value of the redeemed Reward exceed the stated value of the voucher. 

Products can be issued by the Client or any third party elected by them. In no event will Human8 be liable for any defects or malfunctions of a product and or damages that should be incurred by a participant as a consequence of these defects or malfunctions. 

Human8 or the Client will never be liable for any fees or currency conversion fees linked to any Reward. Participants acknowledge that the type of Reward depends on the reward availability and is linked to the reward partner and the location of that reward partner. Human8 can not be held responsible if a Reward is no longer available.
