By accessing the United MileagePlus® X application ("MileagePlus X") or the MileagePlus eGift Cards website ("eGift Cards Website"), by making transactions through MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website, by accepting or using any Gift Card (as defined below) purchased through MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website or specifically by clicking a checkbox for "I agree" or similar statements, in each case, you expressly indicate to United Airlines, Inc., MileagePlus Holdings, LLC and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates and agents (together, "United", "we", "us" or "our") your acknowledgment and acceptance of these United MileagePlus X and eGift Cards Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions") and the MileagePlus Program Rules, which are expressly incorporated herein. United, in its sole discretion, may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time or make changes to MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website at any time, with or without notice, and your subsequent accessing of MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website, making transactions through MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website, accepting or using any Gift Card (as defined below) purchased through MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website or clicking a checkbox for "I agree" or similar statements, in each case, will serve as your acknowledgement and acceptance of such changes. These Terms and Conditions control your use of and participation with MileagePlus X and the eGift Cards Website and no covenants at law or in equity shall be implied or incorporated. United has the sole right to interpret and apply all terms and conditions as it sees fit.

1. Access. Subject to these terms and conditions, we hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) for so long as you use MileagePlus X and adhere to these terms and conditions, to access, participate in and use MileagePlus X. You agree that you obtain no rights other than the rights and licenses expressly granted in this Agreement. In its sole discretion, at any time, and for any or no reason, United may prevent or restrict access to MileagePlus X, the eGift Cards Website, or portions of any of the foregoing, for all or certain MileagePlus members, with or without notice. Access may vary by member. Any actual or suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity is grounds for termination of your use of MileagePlus X, the eGift Cards Website or any Gift Card in United's sole discretion and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies United may have pursuant to the MileagePlus Program Rules or at law or in equity.
    
2. Transaction Limits. The minimum and maximum amounts that may be spent by a member via MileagePlus X and the eGift Cards Website during a certain time period (e.g., per day), per Merchant, per transaction and other limits and restrictions will be set by United in its sole discretion and are subject to change. Limits or other restrictions may vary by member.
    
3. Unauthorized or Fraudulent Transactions.
    
   
   1. If you notice unauthorized or fraudulent MileagePlus X or eGift Cards Website transactions, promptly contact your credit card issuer to report it. It is important to continually monitor your credit card accounts to identify any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. You may have a limited time to notify your credit card issuer. Refer to the terms available from your credit card issuer regarding unauthorized or fraudulent transactions for additional information.
       
   2. b. Because any stored Gift Card numbers or other electronic Gift Card codes, including any unused credits stored in your MileagePlus X eGift Cards or eGift Cards Website account, are Gift Cards that can be used like cash for purchases from the applicable Merchant and because MileagePlus miles can be used to purchase Gift Cards (where available), you are responsible for all transactions made with your unused credits and your MileagePlus miles, including unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. If you notice unauthorized or fraudulent use of any unused credits or miles, contact MileagePlus as soon as possible using the contact method listed within the MileagePlus X application, on the eGift Cards Website or found on united.com.
       
4. Award miles. United will award MileagePlus award miles in connection with transactions made in acceptance of and in accordance with a miles offer made pursuant to the MileagePlus X program or the eGift Cards Website. Fractions of miles will not be awarded. The number of miles awarded will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Offers of award miles and cardmember bonus miles may vary by member and are subject to change. You acknowledge that errors in offer terms or conditions may occur from time to time, whether caused by a merchant or otherwise, and either United or the merchant will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct any such error, and you agree not to bring any action against either party based on or related to such errors. In the case of certain MileagePlus X merchants, the merchants are committed to pay certain fees to United (or to United via a third party) when MileagePlus members purchase goods or services from such merchants via MileagePlus X. Miles associated with any purchase from a merchant will not be earned by you unless and until a payment for the transaction has been made by the merchant to United. For your convenience, United may post pending miles accrual transactions to your MileagePlus account prior to receiving payment from the applicable merchant. United reserves the right to reverse the posting of any miles in the event the applicable merchant does not timely pay such fees to United.
    
   Primary cardmembers of a United Chase Card will receive bonus miles in connection with each MileagePlus X eGift Cards transaction equal to twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by the miles otherwise awarded by MileagePlus in connection with transactions made through MileagePlus X eGift Cards. Fractions of miles will not be awarded in connection with the cardmember bonus, and the number of miles awarded will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The cardmember bonus does not apply to authorized users of the account. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services. Bonus miles will post directly to your United MileagePlus account and will not appear on your credit card statement.
    
5. Privacy Policy. By accessing MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website and making transactions through MileagePlus X or the eGift Cards Website, you acknowledge that you understand and authorize United to store, use and share your information in accordance with the MileagePlus X and eGift Cards Website Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy"). Read the full Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is merely a statement of administrative protocol; it is not a contract nor does it create any contractual or legal rights. The Privacy Policy is not made, or intended to be made, a part of these MileagePlus X and MileagePlus eGift Cards Terms and Conditions.

Please review applicable merchant terms and policies prior to making your purchase. Merchant terms and offers are subject to change at any time.
