These Offers are displayed to you through your web browser on the online path (the “Promotional Path”) following your registration as a member of this web site www.popularproductsonline.com (“Promotion Site”).

Company reserves the right to substitute the selected Gift with an alternate Gift of equal or greater value or with cash in the event that the Gift becomes unavailable for whatever reason.
