("7-Eleven," “we,” “us,” or “our”), is the operator of the 7-Eleven.com and the Slurpee.com sites (together with all content and the underlying source HTML files that implement the hypertext features, collectively the "Site" or "Sites") and certain 7-Eleven branded mobile application(s) ("Apps"). These terms of use (these “Terms and Conditions of Use”) govern any use of the Sites and Apps.

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT TERMS

The following are terms of a legal agreement between you and 7-Eleven. By downloading or using an App or by accessing, browsing and/or using the Sites, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. export and re-export control laws and regulations. Note that Section 7 of these Terms contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use, do not use the Sites or any App.

The material provided on the Sites and Apps is protected by law, including, but not limited to United States Copyright and Trademark laws, and international treaties. The Sites and Apps are controlled and operated by 7-Eleven from its offices within the United States. 7-Eleven makes no representation that materials in the Sites and Apps are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to them from territories where their contents are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose and access the Sites and Apps from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. See below for further copyright and trademark information.

Any software available from the Sites is subject to the export controls of the United States of America and may not be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported into any country to which the United States has embargoed goods; or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals, or to any person or entity subject to such restrictions by the U.S. government.

  1. OWNERSHIP, LICENSE & RESTRICTIONS ON USE

2.1 All right, title and interest (including all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights) in the Apps and the Sites belong to 7-Eleven or the original creator of the material.

7-Eleven aggressively enforces its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law. The name of 7-Eleven, Inc., Slurpee or the 7-Eleven logo, and any other 7-Eleven product or service names, logos or slogans that may appear on the Sites or Apps may not be used in any way, including in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of materials on the Sites or any App, without our prior, written permission. 7-Eleven prohibits use of the 7-Eleven logo as a "hot" link to any site, including 7-Eleven sites, unless establishment of such a link is approved in advance by 7-Eleven in writing.

  1. BINDING ARBITRATION; GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH 7-ELEVEN AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

These Terms and Conditions of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., without regard to Texas conflict of laws provisions. By using either Site or the Apps you irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Dallas, Texas for all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Sites and/or Apps. 7-Eleven makes no representation that the contents of the Sites or Apps are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and those who choose to access the Sites or Apps from other locations are solely responsible for compliance with their local laws. Any legal actions against 7-Eleven must be commenced within two year(s) after the claim arose. EXCEPT FOR CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND 7-ELEVEN AGREE (A) TO WAIVE YOUR AND 7-ELEVEN’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES AND CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITES, APPS, OR THESE TERMS RESOLVED IN A COURT, AND (B) TO WAIVE YOUR AND 7-ELEVEN’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. INSTEAD, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITES, APPS, OR THESE TERMS WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE JAMS, INC. AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JAMS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES. ANY SUCH CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED IN ANY ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY OF ANY OTHER PARTY. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason. Each party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in such arbitration, but if you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration you agree to provide us the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. The arbitration will be conducted in Dallas County, Texas, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 7 by writing to: Attn: Legal Department, 3200 Hackberry Rd., Irving, TX 75063. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. If you do not notify 7-Eleven in accordance with this section, you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use, including such provisions in any Terms and Conditions of Use revised after the date of your first acceptance. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve all controversies and claims on an individual basis in a court located in Dallas County, Texas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 7-Eleven may immediately seek any interim or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, as necessary to protect its rights or property (including intellectual property rights).

  1. 7REWARDS PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Read the following Terms and Conditions for the 7Rewards Program (“Program”) to learn how you can get one free 7-Eleven hot beverage, Big Gulp, Chillers, or Slurpee drink (of any size offered by 7-Eleven) (“Reward Drink”) for every six such drinks (or refills of refillable 7-Eleven mugs and tumblers) that you buy at participating 7-Eleven stores in the United States when you use the 7Rewards App (the “7Rewards App”). Purchases of 7-Eleven mugs and tumblers are not Qualifying Purchases under the Program.

13.1 Eligibility: There are no membership fees associated with the Program. Promotion open only to residents of the 50 United States (and D.C.) who are 13 years or older and who own a smartphone or other mobile device that is capable of downloading and running the 7Rewards App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. (7-Eleven does not charge to download its 7Rewards App, but standard data rates may apply.) If you are between 13 and 18, you may join and participate in the Program only with the permission of a parent or guardian. Employees of 7-Eleven and its franchisees, affiliates, subsidiaries, representatives and agents are not eligible. 7-Eleven reserves the right to deny or disqualify any participant who fails to comply with the terms of this program.

13.2 How to Participate: Take the following steps to receive a Reward Drink:

Step 1: Login to your 7-Eleven account through the App. If you do not have the 7Rewards App, you can download it on your smartphone or other mobile device from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. If you do not have a 7-Eleven account, you can register for one through the 7Rewards App.

You may only redeem Reward Drinks at participating 7-Eleven stores in the United States. You must use the same account when redeeming Punches and cannot combine Punches accumulated in separate accounts to redeem your free Reward Drink. Each Qualifying Purchase (represented as a punch on your “digital punch card” in the 7Rewards App) and unused Reward Drink will expire 366 days after it appears in the App. 7-Eleven reserves the right to change or discontinue any drink products. Reward Drinks are available while supplies last. Once Punches have been redeemed, they cannot be credited back to your account.13.3 Promotional Events: From time to time, 7-Eleven may offer promotional events. By providing your email address, you consent to be automatically entered into our promotional events. As part of your consent, you authorize 7-Eleven to communicate with you electronically (via email) about such promotional events, and to send you the promotional events’ descriptions and official terms and conditions that apply to such promotional events. THE WINNER OF ANY PROMOTIONAL EVENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO SATISFY ADDITIONAL CRITERIA IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING COMPLETING AND RETURNING A WAIVER AFFIDAVIT AND LIABILITY/PUBLICITY RELEASE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE APPLICABLE PRIZE. In the event that you wish to opt out of marketing and promotional communications and events, you can do so by (i) following the instructions in the email or other communication, (ii) following the opt out instructions in the terms and conditions, or (iii) closing your account.

13.4 Program Modification or Cancellation: 7-Eleven reserves the right to modify the Program and these Programs Terms and Conditions at any time without liability, including, without limitation, the right to cancel the Program at any time. If 7-Eleven cancels the Program, it will provide at least 60 days’ advance notice of the cancellation on the home page of the App and at www.7-11.com/rewards. You are responsible for checking the App and the rewards section of the www.7-eleven.com website for updates about the Program. If 7-Eleven cancels the Program, all Reward Drinks and Qualifying Purchases (represented as punches on your “digital punch card” in the 7Rewards App) will automatically and immediately expire upon the effective date of cancellation.

13.5 Other Terms: The Program is void where prohibited. Your Reward Drink and Qualifying Purchases (represented as punches on your “digital punch card” in the “Savings” section of the 7Rewards App) are promotional in nature, have no cash value, and cannot be sold, transferred, copied, shared, or transferred. If you cancel or return a Qualifying Purchase for which you have collected Punch(es), 7-Eleven may deduct the Punch(es) that you were awarded for that purchase. No substitutions, assignments, or transfers of any Reward Drink or Qualifying Purchases will be permitted. 7-Eleven's decisions in connection with this Program are final and binding. 7-Eleven will not be responsible for any Internet, mobile device, computer, or communications-related failures or any events beyond the reasonable control of 7-Eleven.
