Individuals may use this Site solely pursuant to the Terms and Conditions found here for their personal and non-commercial purposes. Any other use is prohibited. Becoming and being a member of the Panel is always free of charge. Participation in panel activities is always optional. Individuals may unsubscribe from the Panel at any time without charge or obligation.

Membership Eligibility

OB is open to individuals who are 15 years of age and older. Membership is specific to one individual with a unique e-mail address. A person may not appear as a member multiple times (e.g. under multiple identities) within the OB Panel.

Becoming A Panel Member

While some Site content is available to anonymous online visitors, other services and content may be restricted to use by members of the Panel. In order to become a member, an individual must provide truthful information when registering with the Panel and may not use any aliases or other means to mask his or her true identity. If an individual provides any materially relevant information during sign-up that is found to be untrue, inaccurate, is not reasonably current nor complete, or OB and/or one of its agents has reasonable grounds to suspect such information is untrue, inaccurate, not reasonably current or complete, OB and/or its authorized agents have the right to terminate that individuals membership and refuse any and all current or future access to, or use of the Site, and may also, upon its sole discretion, declare any accumulated rewards or prizes in any amount otherwise creditable to the individual to be considered null and void.

Initiating And Maintaining Panel Membership

In order to access the member’s area for the OB Panel, each Panel member during registration will be required to set up a user name. A password will be sent to you via email. You are responsible for the security of your password and will be solely liable for any use or unauthorized use under such password.

Frequency of survey invitation and participation by Panel members

In their personal information contained in their online or mobile phone profile, panel members may indicate the maximum number of surveys they would like to complete in a month. Panel members may receive invitations to complete surveys frequently up to the self-imposed quotas they indicate or panel members may receive no invitations at all. After completing a given survey, a Panel member may experience a gap of some number of days before another survey invitation is offered. While every attempt is made to send each Panel member survey invitations frequently up to the desired frequency, due to various factors, a given Panel member may not receive as many invitations to participate in surveys as they would like. Note that OB is under no obligation to offer any specific or minimum number of survey invitations whatsoever.

Unauthorized use

An individual may not use any technological devices such as spiders, robots or other automated data mining techniques to catalogue, download, store or otherwise reproduce or distribute content available on the Site. Neither is an individual permitted to manipulate the results of any Panel, poll, survey or prize draws on this Site or in the context of any activity engaged in as a consequence of Panel membership. You may not take any action to interfere with the Site or any other user’s use of the Site, including, without limitation, via means of overloading, “flooding”, “mail bombing” or “crashing” the Site. You may not send unsolicited email, including promotions and/or advertising of products or services. You may not frame portions of the Site within another website or alter the appearance of the Site. OB will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order, within the limits of any applicable law, requesting or directing OB to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

Updating ones profile

Members of the OB online and mobile phone Panel agree to promptly update any changes in personal and other information including but not limited to name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, and demographic information in the profile section after signing in with their member log-in information.

Nactivity and termination of account

If a member does not participate in any survey during a selected extended time period, OB may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate his or her membership without notice. Other grounds for termination without notice include but are not limited to inadequate or untruthful survey responses and the Panel member having undeliverable e-mail address or mailboxes that are full after multiple attempts to contact the member. In addition, OB may, in its sole discretion, consider any other fact or condition as sufficient grounds for membership termination. After membership is terminated, the terminated individual will stop being sent invitations to participate in surveys as a panel member. OB may or may not at its discretion communicate notice of termination to the Panel member. If, through not receiving survey invitations or through some other means, a Panel member suspects that their membership has been terminated in the Panel, they may contact OB using the contact information available in the “Contact” tab or can write to info@opinionbunch.com. In general, in cases where terminations are due to inactivity, outstanding rewards (i.e. if beyond redemption threshold levels) may be claimed for 90 days following the date of termination. After that period, the individuals’ ability to claim an award will expire. As a condition of membership, you hereby waive and release any and all claims against OB and its affiliates arising from or related to such membership termination or rewards expiration.

Communication between Panelists and OB

By becoming a Panel member, an individual agrees to receive emails made on our behalf inviting the person to participate in surveys that are reasonably likely to match the experiences and background indicated during Panel sign-up. Participation in all surveys is always voluntary. From time to time, e-mail newsletters regarding relevant Panel or company news may be sent for your information as well. E-mail links are provided on the site so that you may contact us directly with any questions or concerns you may have. Each e-mail we receive is read and responded to individually; please allow a maximum of 2-3 working days for us to get back to you.
