Eligibility
The Program is open exclusively to active business entities that have completed and fully paid for at least one project with BDD. Employees, contractors, affiliates, and immediate family members of BDD personnel are ineligible. BDD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any participant for conduct inconsistent with the Program’s purpose.
 

Reward Mechanics
For purposes of these Terms, the terms “Credits” and “Awards” are synonymous and refer interchangeably to the time-limited, non-monetary incentives earned upon reaching qualifying spend thresholds (as described in subsection (b) below and in Section 11). The term “Rewards” refers collectively to the “Credits” and “Awards” provided throughout these Terms and the Program materials.
a. Tiered Discounts
Tiered discounts apply solely to non-engineering professional service fees on subsequent invoices. Discounts do not apply to minimum-charge drafting projects. All discounts reset to zero percent (0%) on January 1 each year and do not accumulate or carry forward.

b. Awards and Credits
Awards and Credits are non-monetary rewards earned upon reaching qualifying cumulative spend thresholds (as detailed in the table in Section 11). They are redeemable only against BDD’s direct professional service fees (excluding taxes, reimbursable expenses, subcontractor fees, and third-party costs). Rewards expire ninety (90) calendar days from the issue date. BDD will provide notice of impending expiration via email and/or the secure client portal at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance. Expiration will not apply to Rewards already scheduled for redemption before the expiration date (as confirmed by BDD). All rewards reset to zero (0) on January 1 each year and do not accumulate or carry forward.

c. Redemption
Awards must be redeemed in full against the first eligible invoice(s) issued after the redemption request is submitted and approved via the secure client portal. BDD may, in its sole discretion, permit an application across multiple consecutive eligible invoices if the Award value exceeds a single invoice amount. Redemption requests must be submitted via the portal at least ten (10) business days before the relevant invoice due date. Deferred, partial, or transferred redemption is not permitted without BDD’s prior written approval.

d. Award Assignment and Selection Rules
- Base Awards (also referred to as base credits): These are predetermined and automatically assigned to the client account upon BDD confirming that the corresponding cumulative qualifying spend threshold has been met (per the table in Section 11). The issue date is the date the threshold is met and confirmed by BDD.
- Optional Awards (also referred to as optional credits): At qualifying thresholds of $60,000 and above, optional awards will be displayed in the secure client portal for selection by an authorized member of the client entity.
- Selection Window and Changes: The authorized member has up to ninety (90) calendar days from the issue date of the associated base award to select or change to a different optional award via the client portal. Any new selection will supersede and replace any prior optional award selection for that milestone.
- Multiple Selections Within the Same Client Entity: If different authorized members from the same client company submit selections within the 90-day window, BDD will honor only the most recent valid selection submitted via the portal. BDD is not responsible for disputes arising from internal client authorizations or multiple users' selections; the client entity is responsible for coordinating approvals.
- The issue date for any selected optional award will be the same as the issue date of the corresponding base award.
- All awards remain subject to the expiration, redemption, and other rules in these Terms (including the 90-day expiration period from issuance).
e. Additional Program Rules 
- Rewards have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, credit, or any other form of compensation, and may not be transferred, assigned, or sold without BDD’s prior written consent.
- Clients are solely responsible for any tax consequences arising from redemption of Rewards or receipt of discounted services.
- BDD’s records regarding spend thresholds, award issuance, redemptions, and client balances are conclusive absent manifest error. Any disputes regarding the Program will be resolved by BDD in good faith.
- All Program details, including current thresholds, available awards, client-specific balances, and expiration dates, are viewable in real-time in the secure client portal.
f. Program Changes and Termination 
BDD reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Rewards Program (including earning thresholds, award values, expiration periods, or redemption rules) at any time. Material changes will be notified via email and/or the client portal at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance (or as soon as practicable if due to legal or urgent business reasons). Continued participation after notice constitutes acceptance. Upon termination, unredeemed Rewards will expire sixty (60) calendar days after the termination date (or as otherwise specified in the notice).
g. No Additional Warranties 
Rewards are promotional incentives only and do not create any additional warranties, representations, or obligations beyond those in the applicable service agreement(s).
