10. We may, subject to applicable legislation and our privacy policy, send direct marketing messages to you. You may opt-out from receiving these messages in the manner set out in our privacy policy. You consent to us sharing certain of your information with our Reward Partners relating to the offering of and management of Rewards.

Reward Levels

12. Each qualifying customer is automatically assigned a Reward Level based on, but not limited to, the active DStv Package subscription(s), the number of years with DStv, usage of DStv Products and Services, payment history and more.
13. Change to any of the factors referred to in clause 11, may result in qualifying customers moving to a different Reward Level.
14. Disconnection of the service may result in a change to the Reward Level and available Rewards.
15. MultiChoice reserves the right to change the number of Reward Levels and factors that determine the Reward Level assigned to a qualifying customer without notice to individual customers.

Rewards

16. There are individual rules for each reward, including start dates and expiry dates. Individual rules will be available when accessing or accepting a Reward.
17. Qualifying customers may not:
d. defer or transfer a Reward to a later date;
e. transfer a Reward;
f. exchange a Reward for cash;
g. use credits from a Reward to offset costs on their DStv account;
h. split or share Rewards across multiple DStv accounts;
i. sell or barter Rewards.
18. Existing Rewards (and access to new ones) are paused when there are no active subscriptions to a DStv package. Reconnection to DStv (and payment of your subscription) will not necessarily result in the same rewards that were available at the time of disconnection.
19. Rewards are accrued on your existing active package and not packages or services that you may get access to as part of a Reward. (If you're paying for DStv Compact, and get an upgrade to Premium as a Reward, your rewards accrue based on DStv Compact).

21. MultiChoice and their Reward Partners reserve the right to withdraw, postpone, amend or suspend any reward at any time and for any reason which MultiChoice and their Reward Partners may deem necessary, without prior notice.
22. Acceptance of a Reward may require a particular action or for you to provide us with additional documentation or information. Failure to complete the action or provide the additional documentation or information required will result in forfeiture of the reward.
23. Although Rewards will actively communicate with qualifying customers about available rewards, it is the responsibility of the qualifying customer to remain updated on available rewards and MultiChoice will take no responsibility or offer replacement rewards should a qualifying customer not become aware of or take up a reward before the expiry date.
