3.1.7 You have the right not to take part in any AGENTC P&A.

3.1.9 The more information you provide to us, the more likely it will be that we can match you to potential AGENTC P&A and hence will be able to communicate these opportunities to you.
3.1.10 AGENTC P&A includes, but will not be limited to, (1) Online Surveys (2) Product Testing (3) Mystery Shopping (4) Focus Groups (5) One-To-One/Depth Interviews (6) Workshops (7) Co-creation Groups (8) Usability Testing.

Non-anonymous AGENTC P&A are usually in the form of focus groups, one-to-one/depth interviews, workshops, co-creation groups, mystery shopping, product testing, usability testing and on occasion online surveys.

4.3 Should you partake in any online surveys or provide answers to any online screeners, you will be assigned points. The points will be allocated to one or more of the following categories (1) Paid Points, (2) Prize Points, or (3) Participation Points. The way the points are assigned will be communicated to you in the original AGENTC P&A communication.
4.4 In instances where Paid Points are distributed, these are automatically allocated to your Paid Points account. For every 2,500 Paid Points you accrue you can request by email to info@mrfgr.com to exchange these for a £25 Amazon voucher which will be emailed to your AGENTC registration email address.

4.6 In instances where Participation Points are distributed, these are automatically allocated to your Participation Points account. Participation Points are allocated to you to encourage participation in AGENTC P&A. The more Participation Points you have the more likely you are to be selected for future AGENTC P&A. For example, most AGENTC P&A have a limited amount of spaces and there may be too many respondents that fit the criteria for the AGENTC P&A, in this instance, in most cases, the respondents with the most Participation Points will be selected (unless the client or other third party who has contracted AGENTC for the activity or project states otherwise).
4.7 In the event that you are found to have fraudulently accrued points within any of the categories (paid, prize or participation) these will be deducted and it will also be likely that you will be de-registered from the AGENTC site/s and will not be allowed to join any AGENTC sites or AGENTC P&A in the future.
4.8 AGENTC may also from time to time adjust a Member's points account upwards or downwards in response to errors which Members acknowledge may arise.
4.9 In the event that you are selected for a AGENTC P&A, agree to attend, but fail to show, or show late, AGENTC will lose it’s fee to the client and in such circumstances - if you have the Paid Points available - an equivalent amount of Paid Points will be deducted from your account and/or you will be de-registered from the AGENTC site/s and will not be allowed to join any AGENTC sites or AGENTC P&A in the future.
4.10 AGENTC reserves the right to change the range of AGENTC P&A through which rewards may be accrued and to vary the frequency of invitations to such AGENTC P&A. AGENTC also reserves the right to alter - at any time without communication - the level of ‘Paid Points’ required before such a reward can be redeemed.
4.11 Points may not be transferred to other AGENTC registered accounts nor pooled together in any manner and the sale or barter of points is strictly prohibited. Points have no monetary value, and cannot be used for any purpose other than redeeming the designated reward.
