ABOUT Cilantro Rewards Program

The Cilantro Rewards Program serves as a means for Cilantro to express appreciation and acknowledge the loyalty of our esteemed clientele who support our enterprise and make purchases of Cilantro's products through our dedicated Cilantro app. The members of the Cilantro Rewards Program have the opportunity to earn "Beans," which can be exchanged for cashback rewards applicable to their future orders. Regrettably, the redemption of cashback rewards is restricted to the current balance of acquired Beans, thereby prohibiting members from redeeming cashback rewards when placing orders featuring special offers, combinations (combos), or applied promotional codes. In addition, members will not accrue Beans when redeeming any of their existing beans for an order.

JOINING Cilantro Rewards Program

To join Cilantro Rewards Program, download Cilantro’s mobile app (“Cilantro”) from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and follow the prompts to create an account. You will be required to provide the following information:

1. First and last name, email address and password.
2. Birthday (year, month, day) . Please note that once you create your account your Birthday Information will no longer be editable. If you do not provide birthday information you will not receive any Birthday Rewards or any Birthday Offers/Double Beans that we decide to issue to celebrate your special occasion.

EARNING BEANS

The Rewards & Cashback that are available to you through Cilantro’s Rewards are based on the number of Beans that you currently have. You can earn Beans by making purchases on Cilantro’s app in the following ways:

1. Paying for your purchase. When you order through Cilantro’s App, you will earn 1 Bean for every EGP 1 (one) Egyptian Pound you spend at Cilantro’s Branches whether you pay in cash or using your credit card. Cilantro may add or remove available payment methods at any time at its sole discretion.
2. Promotional Bonus Beans Offers. From time to time, we may offer you opportunities to earn additional "Bonus Beans" through special promotions. These promotional Bonus Beans will be awarded as described in the applicable promotional offer and will be subject to any additional terms set forth in such promotional offer.

EXCLUSIONS TO EARNING BEANS;

You may not earn Beans on Taxes, tips, donations, and fees, including without limitation, shipping and handling fees, gift-wrapping fees, delivery fees, and bag fees, also may be excluded and ineligible for Beans accrual. We regretfully inform you that cashback rewards can only be redeemed using your current balance of Beans. Members will not be able to redeem cashback rewards while placing orders that include special offers, combinations, or applied promotional codes. Furthermore, members will not earn Beans when redeeming any of their existing beans.

RETURNS

Your Bean balance may be impacted by returns as follows:

1. If you void a purchase, Cilantro will deduct the Beans that you earned for that purchase, potentially resulting in a negative Bean balance on your account.
2. If you return merchandise, packaged coffee, food or tea that you purchased via Cilantro’s App (note: an original receipt is required), your funds will be returned to you if this complies with Cilantro’s Return Policy, but Cilantro will deduct the Beans you earned on that respective order from your account potentially resulting in a negative Bean balance. You may be required to provide the physical credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet in order for Cilantro to process the refund. 

BEAN EXPIRATION

Unless otherwise noted, Beans are automatically added to your account within twenty-four (24) hours of your eligible purchase and expire twelve (12) months after the calendar month in which such Beans were earned. For example, if you earn Beans on December 13, 2023, they will expire on December 1, 2024. The oldest accrued Beans will be used first for redemptions. You can view and track your Bean balance and available Rewards, as well as any additional benefits for which you are eligible as a Cilantro Rewards Program Member by using the App.

REDEEMING BEANS FOR REWARDS OR CASH

Beans may be redeemed for complimentary Cilantro items through our App’s Rewards page depending on your current bean balance. Not only that, Cilantro App Users can utilize their existing beans for the equivalent cashback amount during checkout provided that the number of beans they choose to utilize does not exceed their current bean balance. Note that members cannot earn beans neither on any order where they will be redeeming beans nor on any orders that include offers, combos or applied promocodes. Rewards available and Bean redemption tiers may vary by location and by country, and Cilantro may adjust the Rewards offered in the Rewards page, the perks included in each tier & the applied cashback ratio at any time in its sole discretion.

ARBITRATION

Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for the resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.

Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, your access to or participation in Cilantro App Rewards Program, or your relationship with us. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, your access to or participation in the Cilantro App Rewards Program, or your relationship with Cilantro, Delicious Inc., or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Arbitration Procedures. For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to our Customer Service department to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days.

The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the Egyptian Civil and Commercial Code, which provides for both domestic and international arbitration. The rules of procedure governing such arbitrations are set out in the Egyptian Arbitration Law No. 27/1994, as amended by Law No. 4/2001, as modified by these Terms of Use. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the Arabic language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce these Terms of Use as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

Costs of Arbitration. Upon the filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees other than the initial filing fee. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorney’s fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver. You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void to you. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

GOVERNING LAW

Any dispute arising from these Terms of Use or your access to or participation in the Cilantro Rewards Program will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Egyptian Civil Code, the Consumer Protection Law, and the Telecommunications Act, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
