Our Site and panels were created to allow Panel Members and Non-Panel Members to have their voices and opinions heard by major brands and other organizations.

- Take your time when you participate in Surveys. You must take the time necessary to properly read the questions and all possible response categories thoroughly to provide the most accurate answers possible.
- Answer appropriately. Communications or survey responses that are vulgar, harmful, insulting, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, untrue or misleading will lead to excluding your participation in the Survey.

6. The Rewards Program
The Rewards Program is designed to reward Panel Members who complete Surveys.
The Rewards Program is open only to qualified, registered Panel Members who are 18 years of age or older.
Employees of Full Circle, as well as the immediate family (spouses, parents, siblings and children and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) and household members of each such employee, whether or not related, are not eligible. The Rewards Program is subject to all applicable local, federal or international laws or regulations.
The following apply to the Rewards Program:
- A qualified Panel Member who completes a Survey in compliance with this Agreement will receive Survey Roundtable Points, which will be added to an account maintained by Full Circle and redeemable for Rewards (as described more completely below).
- Based on qualified Panel Member’s demographic information, habits and interests, Full Circle will provide access to surveys via email, through the Survey Roundtable membership page, or the websites or services of our partners for opportunities to earn Survey Roundtable Points towards a Reward, by qualifying for and completing Surveys.
- Surveys are offered to you based on your demographic information, habits and interests and the Surveys that are available. We are not under any obligation to offer you any Surveys if there are none for which you qualify.
- If you begin a Survey but are subsequently disqualified because the required quota is filled or if you do you not meet other necessary qualification criteria, you will be awarded a fixed amount of 100 Survey Roundtable Points.
- At Full Circle’s discretion, a qualified Panel Member may also earn Survey Roundtable Points for other activities, such as screening out of a Survey, taking profiling surveys, polls, etc.
- Panel Members who do not comply with this Agreement may be prohibited from participating in the Rewards Program or redeeming Rewards. A Panel Member or Non-Panel Member may complete any particular Survey once. If multiple Survey attempts occur more than once, Full Circle reserves the right to terminate the respective Panel Member’s account and void all associated Survey Roundtable Points.
- There is a limit of one (1) Reward Program account per person. Full Circle reserves the right to terminate any account for any person found to have more than one account with the Reward Program and void all associated Survey Roundtable Points.
- If a Panel Member does not participate in a Survey or other program during a one (1) year period, Full Circle may elect, at its sole discretion, to terminate the membership without notice. Other grounds for termination without notice include, but are not limited to, inadequate or untruthful Survey responses, undeliverable e-mail addresses or any other fact or condition that, in the sole reasonable discretion of Full Circle, warrants such termination.
- A Panel Member’s Survey Roundtable Points expire on the date of termination. As a condition of membership, a Panel Member waives and releases any and all claims against parties (“Released Parties” as defined below) arising from or related to such membership termination or Survey Roundtable Points expiration.
- Rewards are subject to change at any time. Panel Members are eligible to redeem their Survey Roundtable Points for a Reward if they have earned enough Survey Roundtable Points for a Reward. A Panel Member can log into their account to review the “Rewards Page” on the Site. Each Reward is subject to the terms of the rewards partner providing the Reward, including, without limitation expiration dates and other restrictions. Rewards are nonrefundable and nonreturnable.
- Each Panel Member must have successfully registered with the Survey Roundtable member portal via invitation to be eligible to redeem Survey Roundtable Points for a Reward.
- Survey Roundtable Points are not transferrable.
- Full Circle will not provide a Reward to any Panel Member who has not registered with the Survey Roundtable member portal.
- If a Panel Member is found to be in violation of this Agreement, Full Circle reserves the right to cancel the account and all Survey Roundtable Points and/or Rewards will be void.
- The Reward process will take approximately 2 to 3 business days once a Panel Member redeems the Survey Roundtable Points. In the case that a technical issue occurs during the redemption process, an email will be sent. In addition, the Survey Roundtable customer service team will be automatically alerted about the technical issue.
- Rewards may not be transferred or assigned and must be accepted as provided. No substitution may be made, except by Full Circle, which reserves the right to substitute a Reward with another Reward of equal or greater value, at its sole discretion.
- Panel Members are responsible for paying any applicable federal, state, provincial and local taxes, as well as any other costs and expenses associated with redeeming Rewards as a result of their participation in the Rewards Program. Panel Members are also responsible for any applicable telephone or Internet access fees that they incur while participating in the Rewards Program. In the United States, Full Circle is required by law to issue a Form 1099 to any Participant who is a resident of the United States and who is paid $600.00 or more within a year. Panel Members agree to provide Full Circle with all necessary information for tax reporting.
- In the event that the Rewards Program becomes unavailable for any reason, Full Circle may, at its sole discretion, suspend the Rewards Program and later resume the Rewards Program once it again becomes available.
- Full Circle shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse, fraud or violation of this Agreement. Full Circle decisions shall be final and binding. Fraud or abuse relating to the accrual of Survey Roundtable Points or redemption of Rewards may result in forfeiture of Survey Roundtable Points, as well as the termination of a Panel Member’s account.
- Panel Members agree to maintain the confidentiality of their own email address and all Reward codes issued to them. Panel Members further agree to immediately notify Full Circle of any unauthorized use of their email account or any other security breach. Panel Members are solely responsible for any fraudulent use of their account.
- The Rewards Program is a service provided to an individual Panel Member, not a company.
- Upon deactivation of Survey Roundtable membership, any associated Survey Roundtable Points not redeemed will be immediately forfeited. Panel members may not redeem Survey Roundtable Points after they unsubscribe.
7. Rewards Program Modifications and Termination
Full Circle may modify the Rewards Program including, but not limited to: the methods by which Survey Roundtable Points may be earned; the number of Survey Roundtable Points required to redeem a Reward; the value of Rewards offered; the identity of the rewards vendors providing Rewards; and/or conditions under which Rewards may be forfeited, with or without notice.
If Full Circle provides notice of changes, it may do so by email, regular mail or by posting on this Site.
Full Circle may terminate the Rewards Program at any time. Those Panel Members with a sufficient number of Survey Roundtable Points for redemption will have thirty (30) days from the date the Rewards Program termination is announced to redeem any Survey Roundtable Points remaining in their accounts after which such Survey Roundtable Points will be void.
