Aviso Legal del Community Federal Savings Bank

Tarjetas emitidas por Community Federal Savings Bank, miembro de la FDIC, en conformidad con una licencia de Mastercard International Incorporated. Mastercard es una marca registrada de Mastercard International Incorporated. El uso de la tarjeta constituye la aceptación de los términos del Acuerdo del Titular de la Tarjeta.

The following terms apply to your participation in the DISH Refer-A-Friend Program (“Program”) offered by DISH Network L.L.C. (“DISH” or “we”). By participating in the Program, you agree to comply with these terms (“Program Terms”).

The Program is separate from any other rewards or loyalty program previously or currently offered by DISH, and is subject to the Residential Customer Agreement (“RCA”) you entered into with DISH. These Program Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with DISH for products, services, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the RCA. The RCA is incorporated by reference herein and contains additional terms and conditions. The RCA is available online at dish.com/service-agreements.

You and DISH agree that any and all disputes arising out of, relating to, or concerning the Program will be resolved through mandatory and binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the RCA.

The Program is a points-based referral program operated by DISH where you can earn points by referring friends and family to sign up for DISH services and products. See How To Earn Points for more details. Points can be redeemed for rewards using the MyDISH app or visiting https://my.dish.com/refer. By participating in the Program, you authorize DISH to collect, maintain, use, process, and share their information, including, without limitation, names, email addresses, physical addresses, account and other information in accordance with DISH’s Privacy Policy. DISH’s Privacy Policy which may be viewed at dish.com/privacy-notice.

1 ) WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

By enrolling in the Program, you are accepting the Terms, and agree that you: Are at least 18 years old. Read and understood these Program Terms. Are a Current DISH subscriber in good standing with a MyDISH account. Are a resident of the United States (certain restrictions may apply for residents of US territories or otherwise in accordance with applicable local law)If you do not agree to the Program Terms, you must stop participating in the Program.

2 ) YOU MUST DISCLOSE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH DISH.

Every time you refer someone to DISH, you must tell that person that you will receive points if they sign up as a DISH subscriber. Telling people you refer that you earn points is a legal requirement. Failure to comply may result in losing your points and may be a violation of laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. You can use the default language provided to share referral code, but at least use: "I get free points if you subscribe using my referral code.”

3 ) YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMMUNICATIONS / YOU MAY NOT USE DISH TRADEMARKS WITHOUT DISH’S PERMISSION.

You are limited in the way you may talk/write about the Program. You must create and distribute any e-mail, social media, or other communication providing a referral invitation in a personal, non-commercial manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends and family members. Bulk e-mail distribution, distribution to strangers, or any other promotion of your personal referral link or code that would constitute, or appear to constitute, unsolicited commercial e-mail or spam under any applicable law or regulation is a violation of these Program Terms and may result in your immediate termination from the Program, disqualification from future participation, and forfeiture of any rewards accrued to you as a result of participation in this Program, but not yet redeemed. You must not, without DISH’s written permission, include any DISH trademarks or other DISH materials in your communications (unless as otherwise provided by DISH to you) about this Program and you must not use any domain names or e-mail addresses that include DISH, its marks or its web site URLs. The content of all your communications about this Program must be yours alone. Do not misrepresent or embellish your relationship with DISH or write, say or post anything you know is untrue or may be misleading. Do not make performance, price or other claims about DISH services. And, if someone has asked you to stop sending them messages about DISH, respect that wish. You should not send referrals to people that you do not personally know.

4 ) WHAT IS A QUALIFIED REFERRAL?

Subject to the sole discretion of DISH, you may earn one hundred (100) points for each Qualified Referral. A “Qualified Referral” is defined as a verified new DISH subscriber who arrived at mydish.com/refer via your unique referral link or has provided your unique referral code to DISH at the time they sign up for service and who is a new customer with DISH (meaning has not been a DISH subscriber for a least ninety (90) days before being referred), activates new DISH Satellite Television service, and maintains a DISH Account in good standing for three (3) months. You earn the points at the referrals service activation, but if they cancel before the third full month of their service, DISH may take back the points. You will not receive a reward if your referrals are not considered in good standing for any reason (including, if the referred friend does not satisfy the requirements to be considered a Qualified Referral). This Program cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer by DISH. DISH Services are not available everywhere so your referral might not be able to sign up for DISH Services. You cannot refer yourself or refer your own accounts. DISH employees, sales agents and their immediate family members may not be eligible to refer or participate in Program, as determined by DISH at any time.

5 ) DEPOSIT OF REFERRAL POINTS.

Points that are legitimately earned will be deposited in your MyDISH account. By participating, you agree that the statistics DISH may choose to display through the Program site may not be real-time or accurately reflect the points you actually earned. DISH will have no liability for any typos or errors displayed in those statistics.

6 ) POINTS EXPIRE.

All points you earn in the Program may expire as determined by DISH and communicated to you in advance prior to expiration in the event that DISH terminates the Program.

7 ) MAXIMUM POINTS.

You will not earn points for referring more than ten (10) Qualified Referrals in any given twelve (12) month timeframe. You will stop earning additional points for Qualified Referrals until the number of Qualified Referrals your refer in the last twelve months falls below ten (10). Points have no fixed or cash value and can only be used to claim rewards. Points earned may not be sold, assigned, or transferred to another MyDISH account. Any sale or barter involving your points will void them completely. Check your MyDISH account for details about expiration dates that may apply to points and rewards.

8 ) NO FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY.

DISH reserves the right to void referrals and points earned if it suspects that the referral points were earned in a fraudulent manner, in a manner that violates these terms, or in a manner otherwise not intended by DISH. DISH has the right to monitor your Program activity. If your activity shows signs of fraud, abuse, or suspicious activity or any misuse of the Program or your Program account, you may lose your accumulated points, and, as a result of this activity, the DISH may close your Program account immediately.

1 ) WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

By enrolling in the Program, you are accepting the Terms, and agree that you: Are at least 18 years old. Read and understood these Program Terms. Are a Current DISH subscriber in good standing with a MyDISH account. Are a resident of the United States (certain restrictions may apply for residents of US territories or otherwise in accordance with applicable local law)If you do not agree to the Program Terms, you must stop participating in the Program.

9 ) NO SIDE PROMOTIONS. STICK WITH THE REFERRALS.

You must not conduct your own promotion in connection with the Program, points, or referrals. Any communications you make available about the Program must be limited to referring people to the Program.

10 ) COMPLY WITH THIRD PARTY REQUIREMENTS.

You agree that you will not post your unique referral link or otherwise promote the Program on a web site or other outlet that prohibits that activity.

11 ) NO ILLEGAL OR UNSPORTSMANLIKE PARTICIPATION.

You agree that you will not participate in this Program in a threatening, abusive, illegal or unsportsmanlike manner. This Program is not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18.

12 ) WE WILL SEND YOU E-MAILS ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

You may receive e-mails about this Program, including an e-mail each time a person you refer becomes a Qualified Referral.

13 ) VOID WHERE PROHIBITED/CANCELATION/MODIFICATION.

The Program is void where prohibited and DISH may cancel or modify these terms or the Program at any time. You or DISH may, at any time, end your participation in the Program by giving DISH notice of your withdrawal from the Program, at which point you will no longer be able to earn points even if you have future Qualified Referrals.

14 ) YOU RELEASE US FROM LIABILITY.

By participating in the Program, you agree that you are participating at your own risk and that DISH will have no liability and that you will indemnify and hold DISH harmless for any claim, action, liability, loss, injury, or damage to you or any other person or entity due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reason of your participation in the Program. You will not settle any claim without the prior written consent of DISH. Further, you agree that DISH is not responsible for faulty referral links; taxes associated with rewards you redeem; any error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in transmission, order processing, or communication; technical or mechanical malfunctions; errors in these Program Terms, in any Program-related materials; human-processing error; failures of electronic equipment, computer hardware or software; damage to your equipment, computer hardware, or software; or inaccurate information, whether caused by equipment, programming, human error, or otherwise.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15 ) COLORADO LAW GOVERNS THESE TERMS.

The Program and all matters relating to its validity, construction, performance, and enforcement, and any claim, complaint or dispute (including, without limitation, any Dispute) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any aspect of this Agreement, the Services, or the Equipment shall be governed by the laws and regulations of the State of Colorado without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.

16 ) REWARD TERMS.

Each reward may have its own terms that apply, which may include an expiration date or require you to share information with the company offering the reward. Rewards may be personalized based on information we have about you and not all rewards are available in all areas of the United States. We are not responsible for any content or rewards provided by any rewards partner. The information provided to the rewards partner to claim or use a reward is subject to the privacy policy of the rewards partner. When you claim and use a reward, you release DISH and all its affiliates from liability for your use of the points, for the reward and how you use it, and for your participation in the Program. All calculations made in connection with the Program, including without limitation, the value of any benefits, the availability of previously available rewards, and the earning and accumulation of points, will be made by DISH in its discretion at any time and such calculations will be considered final. Only one reward may be redeemed per transaction, all redemptions are final, and you are not entitled to any refunds or returns of redeemed points.

17 ) TERMINATION OR CHANGE TO YOUR DISH ACCOUNT.

If you terminate your DISH Account or Services, your Program account will be closed and you forfeit any points and rewards in your account. We can suspend or terminate your account at any time. You may lose points in your account if your DISH account status changes, you fail to make payments on your DISH account, we suspect fraudulent activity, or we make changes to the Program.

You may access the Program Terms on the MyDISH to review changes to the Program or the Program Terms. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications.

Taxes:

Subscribers who live in most jurisdictions have sales taxes and similar charges listed on their bills, in addition to their monthly charges. These taxes are imposed by the state on the purchase of goods and services, and they are not limited to DISH. In many states, DISH is required by law to collect these taxes from subscribers. These charges are as follows (italicized text reflects how this item appears on the bill):

• Sales Tax: These are taxes imposed on the purchase of goods and services. The applicable rate is set by each state.
• Florida (Communications Services Tax & Video Gross Receipts Tax): Florida imposes a 9.07% sales tax on the price of satellite service and a gross receipts tax of 2.37%. The law requires DISH to collect these taxes from subscribers.
• Kentucky (Video Excise Tax): Kentucky imposes a 3.0% excise tax on the price of multichannel video programming services. The law requires DISH to collect this tax from subscribers.
• Massachusetts (Video Excise Tax): Massachusetts imposes a 5.0% excise tax on revenues from the sale of satellite service. The law requires DISH to collect this tax from subscribers.
• Tennessee (Satellite Sales Tax): Tennessee imposes an 8.25% tax on revenues from the sale of satellite services. The law requires DISH to collect this tax from subscribers.
• Utah (Video Service Tax): Utah imposes a 6.25% tax on the price of multi-channel video and audio services. The law requires DISH to collect this tax from subscribers.

Other Taxes:

Subscribers who live in certain states will also see charges for certain gross receipts taxes. These charges are as follows (italicized text reflects how this item appears on your bill).

• District of Columbia (Video Gross Receipts Tax): DISH is subject to a 10% tax on the value of the services we provide in D.C., as measured by the sale price.
• Maine (Video Service Provider Tax): DISH is subject to a 6.0% tax on the value of the services we provide in Maine, as measured by the sale price.
• Maryland (Service Provider Tax): DISH is subject to a 10.0% tax on gross receipts from the sale of boxing and wrestling broadcasts in Maryland.

Although these taxes are similar to other state taxes and fees, which are typically the responsibility of the customer, the states above have chosen to impose these taxes on DISH and other businesses who conduct business in each of the respective states. These taxes are imposed on DISH and are not imposed directly on subscribers. DISH is not required by law to add the charge to a subscriber’s bill.

State Tax Reimbursement Charges:

Subscribers who live in certain states have a state-specific tax reimbursement charge listed on their bills as part of their monthly charges. These charges are allocated uniformly, are shown as a fixed monthly amount and are subject to change. These charges are as follows (italicized text reflects how this item appears on your bill).

• Connecticut (CT Gross Earnings Tax Reimburse): DISH is subject to a 5.0% tax on its gross earnings in Connecticut. The charge is currently $5.60 per month.
• Delaware (DE Gross Earnings Tax Reimburse): DISH is subject to a 2.125% tax on its gross receipts in Delaware. The charge is currently $2.31 per month.
• Kentucky (KY Gross Earnings Tax Reimburse): DISH is subject to a utility gross receipts tax of 2.4% on gross receipts from the sale of multi-channel video and audio programming services. The charge is currently $2.57 per month.
• Ohio (OH State Surcharge): DISH is subject to a 0.26% tax on its gross earnings in Ohio. The charge is currently $0.39 per month for video and $0.25 per month for broadband.
• Texas (State Cost Recovery Fee): DISH is subject to a 0.75% franchise tax for conducting business in Texas. The charge is currently $0.31 per month for video and $0.02 per month for broadband.
• Puerto Rico (PR Receiver Property Tax): Puerto Rico imposes property tax on the cost of a leased receiver. The charge is currently $0.12 per leased receiver per month.
• Puerto Rico (PR Cost Recovery Fee): DISH is subject to various taxes in Puerto Rico, including the business-to-business tax, volume of business tax, and corporate income tax. The charge is currently $4.85 per month.

A Political Message About These Taxes and Charges:

DISH would like to offer the same high-quality service to all subscribers at the same price nationwide. The gross earnings and gross receipts taxes described above, however, have significantly increased DISH’s cost of doing business in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas. Rather than raise the cost of programming for all subscribers, DISH has chosen to recover this additional cost directly from subscribers who reside in those specific jurisdictions. DISH subscribers in those jurisdictions should consider contacting their governor and state representatives and urging them to repeal these taxes.

Federal Regulatory Fees

DISH collects the FCC Regulatory Fee to recover DISH’s direct costs in connection with the payment of Federal Communications Commission regulatory fees.

1. LICENSE AND RIGHTS

Subject to your compliance with these UGC Terms, you grant to EchoStar and its licensees, successors, assigns, third-party service providers, retail partners, marketing and public relations agencies, and affiliates (collectively, the "Licensed Parties") a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, non-exclusive right and license to use your UGC, in whole or in part, in any manner and for any purpose at the Licensed Parties' sole discretion.
 

The Licensed Parties may use, display, reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly perform, publish, broadcast, create derivative works from, combine with other materials, alter, adapt, crop, resize, overlay with text or graphics, and/or edit the UGC. This license includes use on webpages, websites, social media pages and accounts, promotional emails, advertisements, streaming and other digital media, retail and point-of-sale materials, and all other marketing, promotional, publicity, and advertising initiatives, in any media now or hereafter known, and in connection with any EchoStar brand, product, service, or campaign.
 

Except for the rights granted in these UGC Terms, you retain ownership of the UGC. The Licensed Parties have no obligation to use the UGC, notify you of any use, provide credit or attribution, or pay you any compensation. You acknowledge that any use, timing, placement, and duration of use will be determined by the Licensed Parties in their sole discretion.
 

In connection with any use of the UGC, you grant the Licensed Parties the right to use your username, real name, image, likeness, photograph, portrait, descriptions of you, location, voice, biographical information, and other identifying information that you provide or that appears in or with the UGC (collectively, "Identifying Information"). EchoStar may modify the UGC as reasonably necessary for formatting, sizing, captioning, integration, or combination with other materials, but will not materially distort the UGC. No approval, consent, notice, or opportunity to inspect or approve is required from you for any advertising, promotional, publicity, or other material containing the UGC, your name, likeness, or Identifying Information.
 

You acknowledge and agree that the UGC may contain biometric identifiers, including facial geometry, voiceprints, or other physical characteristics capable of identifying you or any Third-Party Subject (as defined below). You expressly consent, and represent that each Third-Party Subject has expressly consented, to EchoStar's collection, capture, use, storage, and disclosure of such biometric identifiers in connection with the UGC and the rights granted under these UGC Terms. This consent is given with full knowledge of the purposes for which such biometric identifiers may be used, including use in advertising, marketing, promotional materials, and AI-assisted content creation or analysis. You acknowledge that you have been informed of and consent to this collection, capture, use, storage, and disclosure, and waive any claims under any applicable biometric privacy law, including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI), to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

By accepting these UGC Terms (whether by submitting the UGC Consent & Submission Form or by hashtag reply), you represent and warrant that: (i) the UGC was created by you and you own or control all rights necessary to grant the rights in these UGC Terms; (ii) if any person other than you appears in, is heard in, or is otherwise identifiable from the UGC (each such person, a "Third-Party Subject"), you have obtained that person's prior written consent to be featured in the UGC and for EchoStar to use the UGC as described in these UGC Terms, and upon request you will provide EchoStar with a copy of such written consent; (iii) you are not a minor and have full legal capacity to enter into these UGC Terms, and no Third-Party Subject is a minor, or if any Third-Party Subject is a minor, you have obtained verifiable written consent from that minor's parent or legal guardian; (iv) you have the full right, power, and authority to grant the rights and permissions described here, and no other agreement restricts that grant; (v) the exercise of the rights granted here will not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws, including consumer protection, privacy, publicity, intellectual property, advertising, and trade laws; and (vi) the UGC does not contain any virus, worm, Trojan horse, malware, disabling device, or other harmful code.
 

EchoStar may, in its sole discretion, require you to provide a separate written model release signed by any Third-Party Subject before using UGC that features that person, particularly for paid advertising, broadcast, retail, or any use that captures biometric identifiers. Your failure to provide such release upon request is a material breach of these UGC Terms.
 

3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EchoStar, the Licensed Parties (including all sublicensees), and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents (collectively, the "EchoStar Parties") will not be liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or similar damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business, arising out of or relating to the UGC, these UGC Terms, or any use of the UGC, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
 

If the UGC causes or contributes to a technical disruption, security incident, or interruption, you are responsible for all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising from third-party claims relating to that disruption. You are solely liable for any damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from or relating to infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or other rights, or any other harm caused by the UGC.
 

Nothing in these UGC Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
 

4. INDEMNITY & RELEASE

(a) Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EchoStar and its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, successors, assigns, sublicensees, third-party service providers, retail partners, marketing and public relations agencies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of these UGC Terms or any representation or warranty; (ii) the UGC or its use as permitted under these UGC Terms; (iii) any allegation that the UGC or its use infringes, misappropriates, or violates any third-party right or applicable law; or (iv) any technical disruption, security incident, or other harm caused by the UGC.
 

(b) Release. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release and forever discharge the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses arising out of or relating to these UGC Terms, the UGC, or the exercise of the rights granted here, including claims based on publicity, privacy, moral rights, lack of credit, or lack of review or approval. To the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, you expressly waive and relinquish any provision of law or common-law rule that might otherwise limit this release to claims known or suspected as of the date of acceptance. You acknowledge that this release includes claims you do not presently know or suspect to exist, except to the extent such waiver is prohibited by applicable law.
 

5. TERMINATION

These UGC Terms and the rights granted to the Licensed Parties are effective upon your submission of the UGC Permission Form and remain effective until terminated by EchoStar with or without notice. Termination will not affect any use of the UGC or rights granted before termination, or any rights or obligations that by their nature are intended to survive. The LIMITATION OF LIABILITY and INDEMNITY & RELEASE provisions, together with the representations, warranties, releases, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination.
 

If you are a California resident or if California law otherwise applies, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to request deletion of personal information. To exercise any such rights, please contact DishLegalNotices961@dish.com and ipdept@dish.com, or visit EchoStar's privacy center. Any exercise of CCPA rights will be processed in accordance with applicable law and EchoStar's privacy policy.
 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these UGC Terms, you may request that EchoStar cease using the UGC by submitting a written revocation request to DishLegalNotices961@dish.com and ipdept@dish.com. Upon receipt of a valid revocation request, EchoStar will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) remove the UGC from live public-facing channels within seven (7) business days; (b) confirm the removal to you in writing within fourteen (14) days; and (c) complete deletion of the UGC from EchoStar's active systems within thirty (30) days, except that EchoStar may retain archival copies as required by law or for legal defense purposes. Revocation will not affect any use of the UGC made before EchoStar's receipt of a valid revocation request, or any rights or licenses granted to third parties before that date. EchoStar will maintain timestamped records of revocation requests and corresponding actions taken.
 

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS

These UGC Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and agree that those courts will be the exclusive forum for any dispute arising out of or relating to these UGC Terms or the UGC. Any claim or action arising out of or relating to these UGC Terms or the UGC must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it will be permanently barred to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 

These UGC Terms, together with the UGC Permission Form and any terms expressly incorporated into it, constitute the entire agreement between you and EchoStar concerning the UGC and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject. EchoStar's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. EchoStar may assign these UGC Terms and its rights without restriction; you may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without EchoStar's prior written consent.
 

You agree that electronic records, submissions, acknowledgments, and communications relating to these UGC Terms are admissible to the same extent as paper records and waive any objection to their use solely because they are electronic. At EchoStar's request, you will promptly sign and deliver additional documents and take further actions reasonably necessary to confirm, evidence, or effectuate the rights granted under these UGC Terms.
