Overview of the Cool School Cafe Program
The Cool School Cafe Program (the “Program”) is a K-12 foodservice loyalty program sponsored by RealTime Solutions
(“Sponsor”) through which K-12 foodservice operators (“Operators”) may collect non-monetary Points (“Points”) by purchasing
qualifying products from Member Manufacturers. Operators may then go to www.CoolSchoolCafe.com for instructions how to
have their account credited with the Points they have collected. Operators may redeem their Points for relevant foodservice
items (“Items”) to enhance K-12 foodservice programs available at www.CoolSchoolCafe.com (the “Website). Points have no
cash value.
Duration of Program
The Program is ongoing over consecutive school years. The Sponsor reserves the right to shorten, modify, or cancel the
Program at its discretion, at any
time.
Eligibility
The Program is open to legal residents of the 50 United States (and the District of Columbia) who are 18 years of age and older
at the time of enrollment. Participation in the Program is intended for Operators who make purchase decisions and are a K-12
school district in the U.S. As stated within Title 7, CFR Section 3016.36(c), Cool School Cafe Points and program offerings adhere
to procurement guidelines by directly benefiting the school foodservice program. Otherwise, void where prohibited by law.
Enrolling in the Program
Operators may enroll in the Program at www.CoolSchoolCafe.com (the “Website”). To join, an Operator must click on the “Join
For Free” button in the center of the page and follow the online instructions to create a Cool School Cafe account (“Account”).
Once Operators register, they will be enrolled in the Program. The number of Points collected by the Operator will be recorded
and tracked in the Operators Account. An Operator must have a unique valid email address to create an account. Limit 1
Account per school district. The person who is the authorized email account holder of the email address indicated when
registering for an Account will be deemed the participant. By enrolling in the Program, the Participant certifies that (a) he/she is
authorized on behalf of the Operator to enroll the Operator in the Program (b) that the membership and participation in
the Program does not violate any policies or guidelines of their employer and (c) that they have disclosed the participation and
receipt of rewards to the Operator and received consent to participate and agree to these Terms and Conditions. Enrollment is
free and there is no purchase necessary to enroll. Any changes to the Operator Account information may be updated on the
website in the Operator’s profile. To cancel an account, the Operator may contact the Programs support team. By enrolling in
the Program, Operators are consenting to receive occasional emails, electronic newsletters or communications regarding the
Program and its Member Manufacturers. Operators who purchase qualifying products and have special contracts or pricing or
are under bid with the participating Member Manufacturers may be ineligible to earn Points on those Member Manufacturers
products.
Collecting Points
Enrolled Operators collect Points by purchasing qualifying products from participating Member Manufacturers. When
purchases have been completed visit the Website, login and click on the “Proof of Purchase Checklist” button on the left side
of the page. Complete and mail or email your Cool School Cafe Proof of Purchase Checklist along with copies of your Distributor
Invoices or Distributor Usage Reports to:
Email: Support@CoolSchoolCafe.com
Mail: Cool School Cafe
PO Box 535
Becker, MN 55308
Once an Operator completes the deposit, the validation of the purchases and potential Points
earned will be subject to verification by Cool School Cafe Customer Service whose decisions
on the outcome are in its sole discretion and are final and binding. Points will not be awarded until
after the verification process is complete. By participating in the Program, Operators authorize distributor usage reporting to be
sent to Cool School Cafe on their behalf by their distributor, to accrue Points for qualifying product purchases. Operators
acknowledge that information disclosed by a distributor on their behalf may contain specific usage or purchase information
pertaining to the Operator. The Operator agrees to waive, release and hold all distributors harmless from any and all claims,
causes of action, liability or demands of any kind relating to or arising from distributor’s release and Real Reward Cafe’s use of
the Operator’s purchase information. Member Manufacturers and Sponsor reserve the right to determine which products will
be included as a participating product and eligible to earn Points. Member Manufacturers and Sponsor reserve the right to
change the number of Points awarded for purchases at any time during the Program. Points are non-transferable and may not
be sold or combined with other Operator Accounts. Any attempt to sell, combine or transfer Points will result in disqualification
from the Program and forfeiture of all Points in any Operators Account. Each Operator is responsible for ensuring the accuracy
of his/her account and is encouraged to check their Account regularly. If an Operator believes that Points were not properly
accrued, the Operator must notify the Cool School Cafe support team within 15 days of the day the deposit had been entered
on the Website. Member Manufacturers and Sponsor may offer special offers throughout the Program that may include bonus
Points or other additional incentives.
Redeeming Points for Relevant Items
Operators may redeem their Points for relevant foodservice Items of value listed in the “Redeem Points” section of the
Website. The Website will list the Items and the corresponding point value required to redeem each Item. Operators may
choose any Item still available for which they have accumulated sufficient Points for redemption. Items available through the
Program are exclusively beneficial to the nonprofit school foodservice operation and are in accordance with Title 7, CFR Section
3016.36(c). Sponsor reserves the right to modify the list of Items available for point redemption, as well as their corresponding
point values, at any time during the Program without any notification. To redeem Points, navigate through the Items listed on
the Website. Click the image corresponding to the Item you wish to redeem and follow the online instructions to complete the
process. As part of the redemption process, you will receive a confirmation email when applicable. Emails will be sent to the
email address assigned to the Operator Account. Operators are responsible for ensuring that their Account information is
accurate and current. All point redemptions are final. Refunds, exchanges and other issues are governed by the vendors’ Terms
and Conditions applicable to the purchase and are not the responsibility of the Sponsor. When the Item has been ordered, the
Operator’s Account will be debited for the amount of the Item selected plus shipping/handling. Items will be shipped to a
physical street address only. P.O. Boxes are not allowed. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. Items may be shipped separately.
Truck shipment is required for some Items and Operators will be contacted for delivery arrangements. Damaged or defective
Items need to be communicated back to the Sponsor’s support team within 15 days of receipt. With the redemption of Points
for Items, the Operator accepts and acknowledges that the Sponsor, agents and representatives of Sponsor, their parent
companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion; and fulfillment agencies, and legal advisors are not
responsible for and shall not be held liable for any injuries, losses, or damages of any kind arising in connection with or as a
result of a redeemed Item and the use or misuse of it. Reporting and payment of Federal, State and Local taxes are the sole
responsibility of the Operator and the Operator agrees to hold the Sponsor of the Program harmless from liabilities. Operators
are not subject to backup withholding due to failure to report interest and dividend income, and the Operator is
either a U.S. citizen, or legal resident of the U.S.
