To become a panelist, you are required to register with us by creating a membership account. When completing our registrations forms, you agree to provide true, accurate, consistent, and complete information about yourself and to update such information as necessary, failure of which, will allow the Company, at its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your membership.

The following personal information and personally identifiable information will be required: your first name, your last name, your date of birth, your gender, your e-mail address, your mobile number. We may also ask you to provide us with additional relevant information such as for example: information about your income (in brackets), about your family status, about your education or professional levels or information about your identity or location (such as your passport information and your mailing address). Please refer to our privacy policy  to understand how we securely store, use, and share the data and information we ask you to share with us upon registration or during your membership period and the data or information we collect from your use of the Platform and your interaction with its content and materials.

You are eligible to create an account with us and become a panelist only if you are above the age of 16, of any nationality so long as you reside in any country within the Territory (at the time of updating these Terms, the Territory means the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)[1]. Each person subscribing can only own one account on the Platform. You undertake to refrain from creating more than one account with us, and you acknowledge and agree that we have the right to terminate or suspend any additional account(s) you appear to hold and any Points earned in relation to such additional account(s) will be forfeited.

During the registration process you will receive from us a confirmation e-mail or SMS to confirm your account creation and/or activation.

By registering with us and accepting these Terms, you agree to receive invitations to participate in our surveys on your registered email, accompanied with a notification on your registered mobile number. You acknowledge and agree that the Company will, at its sole discretion, select you to participate in a survey noting that we do not guarantee any minimum number of invitations or any invitation at all. Upon receipt of an invitation to participate in a specific survey, you have the option to either accept or reject such invitation as you deem fit, and you will not be penalized in case you decline the invitation.

Invitations to take a Survey are sent based on criteria we define and determine in our sole discretion, such as your interests or the group we wish to target. Our surveying system is designed in a way that allows you to participate only once to any survey you accept to answer. In any case, you acknowledge and agree to refrain from trying to answer any survey more than once. As soon as your answers are submitted, you will no longer be able to modify them.

Should you accept our invitation to participate in a survey, you commit to provide truthful and honest answers and to complete the survey to the best of your ability.

You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to terminate your account at our sole discretion if we believe that you have breached these Terms or provided us with untrue, inaccurate, false or misleading information and we shall not be liable to you for any termination.

1. Your Points

When you participate in our surveys, you may be rewarded with points (“Points”) which have a monetary value (as published from time to time on the Platform) that can be redeemed for gift card vouchers powered by our e-vouchers suppliers. You will be made aware of the number of Points earned before and after the completion of the survey. You will earn Points only if you comply with the instructions and procedures set out in these Terms and from time to time on our Platform. You may log into your account to check the completed surveys and the number of Points earned. You need to collect a minimum of 66.7 Points (equivalent to 25 Saudi Riyals “SAR”) in order to redeem your Points.

You are the sole beneficiary of the Points and, consequently, you are not allowed to transfer your Points to other accounts.

Our surveys’ Point-generating value is estimated and determined at our discretion taking into consideration various factors we solely define, such as the topic and the length of the survey. Upon receiving an invitation to take the survey, you will be informed of the number of Points that you may obtain if you answer the survey in full. You can find the full Points Policy below.

There is no expiration date for the Points you earned. As long as your account is active and the Points are not forfeited, you may redeem your Points for rewards we make available from time to time in the form of redeemable gift card vouchers. However, this does not mean that the gift card voucher obtained upon redeeming your Points does not have an expiration date. Therefore, we highly advise you to review the terms and conditions of our gift card vouchers program suppliers which we shall make available on our Platform.

We reserve the right to increase or decrease the number of Points you earn as a result of errors and/or fraud which may occur.

From time to time, answering a survey during a month may make you eligible to enter a monthly prize draw to win valuable items. The prize draws are governed by special terms and conditions that you can find here. The results of the prize draws will be posted on our social media pages.

You will also earn Points for each friend or family member you successfully refer to the Platform or to the survey by sharing a unique link that we share with you for referral purposes. A referral is considered successful only if the referred person creates and validates an account on our Platform, complete the profiling survey and at least one active survey.

When doing referrals, you undertake:

• not to act as an Arab Views representative;
• not to act in a fraudulent or misleading manner;
• to act in a transparent and honest manner by disclosing to the referred person that you may be eligible to earn Points from such referral.

Friend referral terms:

• A successful referral will allow you to win a total of three (3) Points.
• A referral is considered successful if the referred person completes the full registration process by providing all information needed and answering the profiling survey.
• ArabViews may at its own discretion reject any referred upon reviewing it.
• ArabViews may at its own discretion disable the referral link if, for example, the link is used in an untoward or inconvenient manner or if we feel that we don't need more panelists.

Points Policy:

• Points are only earned upon satisfactory survey completion;
• Points are only earned on double opt-in referrer;
• Only one Points redemption is allowed per week; and
• Points cannot be transferred to any other panelist or account.
