This Agreement sets out the terms of your use of the BAP Program. In the event of any inconsistency between the Privacy Policy and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
Program Overview
The BAP Program allows student members of BAP to generate traffic to BAP through a qualified link provided by BAP and receive a boost when a qualifying purchase is made with any of our affiliate merchants. A boost is a dollar amount given to a student when a qualifying purchase is made through a qualified link at the BAP mall. Boosts are paid by Paypal or bank check and are a percentage of the total qualifying sales price excluding shipping, handling and tax.
A Booster is an individual who makes a qualifying purchase through a qualified link that was supplied by a student member. A"BAP merchant", “affiliate merchant” or “participating merchant” is any merchant currently participating as a merchant in the Mall at www.Boostapal.com.
No Cost to participate
There is no cost to participate in this program. BAP offers a boost by working with online retailers utilizing affiliate marketing.
Eligibility
A BAP member must be at least 13 years old and a full time student no older than twenty five years of age. Members may not have more than one account and are prohibited from selling, trading, or otherwise transferring their BAP account to another party. Members are prohibited from receiving boosts resulting from their own purchases. Using BAP to receive “cash back” on purchases is not permitted and will result in termination from the program and forfeiture of all balances in the student’s BAP account.
Boostapal services are not currently available to individuals residing in the EU.
BAP boosts
BAP boosts will usually be posted to your account within three days of a qualified purchase. However, each merchant is different and as a result it may take up to thirty days for the boost to post. Once posted, for a period of up to one hundred twenty one (121) days your account will refer to the BAP boost as "Pending." This time period is in accordance with the participating merchant's right to reverse a transaction for return, cancellation or other purposes. After this period expires your boost will be removed from pending status.
Requesting boosts: You may request to receive BAP boosts once your account has accumulated at least $10.00 either electronically through PayPal, or by standard bank check. The first request must be processed by check and must be mailed to a valid United States address. The currency of all payment will be in U.S. Dollars. Members are responsible for redeeming boosts. There is no automatic or periodic redemption.
Non Member specific boosts – Community boost fund
Nearly all of the merchants on our site allow Boostapal to track purchases to specific boosters so that a boost may be forwarded to the booster’s student(s). A limited number of merchants agree to pay Boostapal a commission but do not permit us to track and link a booster’s purchase to his student(s). This prevents us from directing a boost from a booster’s purchase to his student(s). These merchants are labeled “Community Boost Merchant.”
We place at least 50% of the commission Boostapal receives from these merchants into the Boostapal Community Boost Fund and distribute the contents to all student members four times per year (March, June, September, December).
To help insure fairness, the fund will be distributed based on each student’s boosters’ participation in Boostapal. Each student’s share of this fund will be based on the total available boosts that the student received during that quarter as a percentage of the total available boosts received by all students during the quarter. For example, if a student received $100 in available boosts during at quarter and the total available boosts received by all students was $1000 during the same quarter the student will receive10% of the amount in the community boost fund.
Also, individuals who use the Boostapal mall but are not members will still generate a boost with each purchase. We place at least 50% of the commission Boostapal receives from these merchants into the Boostapal Community Boost Fund and distribute the contents to all student members four times per year (March, June, September, December).
Using the BAP mall
To receive boosts on purchases, the member’s network booster must start each shopping session at the Mall at www.Boostapal.com and your booster must have cookies enabled on his/her web browser. Also, the following must occur:
Common reasons why a purchase may not qualify for a boost include:
All of a member’s boosts may be disqualified, at the sole discretion of BAP, if the member or his booster attempts (1) to use BAP through any means other than through participating sign-up pages; (2) to disrupt BAP and/or circumvent the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (3) to use automated means to create entries/registrations; (4) register on behalf of another person; (5) provide false or unverifiable information to Boostapal.com; (6) sign up multiple times. And, if any of the above or other attempts to defraud advertisers or BAP occur, BAP reserves the right to remedy any such action, disruption or circumvention in a manner, determined solely by BAP that is fair and equitable to other members, advertisers, and nonprofits. BAP may not give notice in such an instance.
Boost exceptions:
Occasionally purchases at our affiliate merchants' websites will not generate commissions for Boostapal. These may include, but are not limited to, gift certificates, gift cards, and other items determined by the merchant. Boostapal can not pay boosts on purchases that do not generate a commission for Boostapal or for which a merchant cancels a commission. However, Boostapal will, without exception, always disburse at least 50% of the commissions it receives as boosts.

Boostapal is not responsible for changes to, or discontinuance of, any affiliate merchant, or any affiliate merchant withdrawal from the program, or for any effect on accrual of boosts caused by such changes, discontinuance, or withdrawal.
BAP performs a service for its members and member boosters, and is not qualified to offer tax advice on any of the boosts directed to a Booster’s student members. You may be taxed on your receipt of these boosts, depending on the tax laws of federal, state, and/or local jurisdictions. Boostapal may choose to provide you with those notices to you on occasion. In all instances, you will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of the receipt of these boosts.

Termination for a breach or violation of this Agreement shall result in the forfeiture of all boosts in the member’s account.
BAP reserves the right to modify this Agreement from time to time, with or without notice. If there is a modification to the Program, we will endeavor to notify you; however, we will not be responsible if you do not learn of the modification. Continued participation in the Boostapal program after such modification shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any such modification.

Student in Need Program Participants:
All of the provisions stated in BAP's Student Terms of Services shall apply except as provided in this subsection (Student in Need Program Participants).
Requesting boosts: Boosts will be paid once per month when the Student in Need account has accumulated at least $10.00. ALL Boosts will be processed by US Bank check and will be sent via U.S. Mail in U.S. Dollars.
The amount paid to the Student in Need shall be calculated as follows: The amount available in the Student in Need's account on the first day of each month shall be paid to the Student in Need. BAP will pay a like amount, from its own funds, each month for a period of 12 months. The Student in Need will therefore receive two times the amount appearing in her account.
In the unlikely event fraud is detected, proceeds in the Student in Needs account shall be disbursed to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBSSA) charitable organization.
Account Inactivity
We encourage users to actively log in and use Boostapal when they register for an account. To keep your account active users must log in once every 6 months. Inactive accounts may be permanently removed and all accumulated Boosts will be forfeited. Please use your account once you sign up.
