Determination of Points.
Each Qualifying Activity will result in the award of a certain number of Points as specified by Buzzar. The number of points will typically be displayed on the Site prior to your engaging in the Qualifying Activity. The specified Points will be added to the account of the Member that engaged in the Qualifying Activity.

Accrued Points do not constitute the property of any Member. Points are not transferable (i) upon death, (ii) as part of a domestic relations matter, or (iii) otherwise by operation of law. Points accrued in a Member's account shall be maintained in that account until it is redeemed for an award or until it expires, whichever occurs first.
