8. Iknum Rewards
When Users register on our website, they have the option of selecting to rate the Search results on our website.
If they select to do so, they are initially given a number to rank from. The Users can assign any rank, from 1 upto this number to rate
the Search results on our website. A higher rank represents a higher quality document. In addition to rating content, Users can also
vote on documents rated by other Users.
Iknum uses it's proprietary technology to determine if the documents that were assigned a higher rank are actually worthy of
that. If they are found worthy of being rated as high quality, the Users who have assigned a higher rank to these documents may
qualify to receive a cash reward. In addition to cash rewards, the Users over a period of time, may get to assign ranks from a higher
range. Users who assign higher ranks to obviously low quality documents or assign lower ranks to obviously high quality documents may
see their rating ability diminish or be taken away in it's entirety. Similarly Users who give an Up vote to obviously low quality
documents or give a Down vote to obviously high quality documents may see their voting ability diminish or be taken away in it's
entirety. Whether any document is of high quality or low quality is at the sole discretion of Iknum.
We make no claims that we will make cash rewards to any or all Users at all. We make no claim as to when the payments for the
cash rewards will be made. We may stop the Iknum Rewards program at any time and at our sole discretion.
Your participation in Iknum Rewards is entirely at our discretion and is subject to your compliance with the Terms of Use
of the Iknum Rewards and these Terms of Use.
The Company may suspend or terminate your participation in Iknum Rewards at any time for any reason. Any rewards that you accrue
as a member of the Iknum Rewards prior to your termination or suspension from the Iknum Rewards shall nonetheless be paid to you
unless we determine at our reasonable discretion that you were acting in contravention of the Terms of Use of the Iknum Rewards
or these Terms of Use during the period that you accrued such rewards.
