We will try to give you credit for that offer, but we can not guarantee that you will receive any form of credit.
2. Users must complete the offer by using the link provided by apple.kudosnetwork. If you go to the web site directly, use another affiliates link, or go to the offer site by any means other then through this web site, we reserve the right not to give you credit for that offer.

9. Some offers have pending times which have been manually reduced by us for the benefit and convenience of our users. However, if we pay out a gift to a user using referrals which have been credited with one of these offers and those referrals subsequently decline when the advertiser has eventually checked them, we reserve the right to remove any approved referrals from the users account to compensate for this. This is the compromise you accept in order to benefit from offers with reduced pending periods.

III. Gifts

1. KUDOS network is not responsible for the availability of a product. If your selected gift is unavailable, and is likely to remain unavailable for some time, you may be contacted and given an alternative. If your gift is only temporarily unavailable, then this item may be backordered, and therefore you may experience a delay in receiving the item.

3. Only one account per shipping address is allowed. If more then one account exists for the same shipping address, all of those accounts will be placed on hold. There is no guarantee that any of the accounts will ever be taken off of hold.
4. We reserve the right to change or remove any free gift offered on any of our web sites at any time. If a free gift is replaced by a different gift, the new gift may not be of equal value to the gift being replaced.
5. Any gifts which require currency conversion from GBP will be subject to conversion at the prevalent rate of the day. For example, "US$200 Amazon Vouchers" is the equivalent gift for "£100 Amazon Vouchers", so you would get the US$ conversion of £100, whatever that might be on the day we process your order. This was once $200 but could significantly less depending on the exchange rate.

2. KUDOS network does not take returns or exchanges.
