In order to receive a prize or reward, winning members must contact Mountain FM in accordance with instructions provided as part of this program, or provided online in connection with a specific offering, AND comply with the instructions provided by Mountain FM personnel for verification and deduction of Points balances.

Failure to comply with the instructions may result in disqualification, at the sole discretion of Mountain FM. Any member that has a "winning" bid, and then fails to demonstrate they have the needed Points in their account following an audit, will not be entitled to receive the award or prize and, at the discretion of Mountain FM, will have their Points balance forfeited.

Member Points totals are subject to adjustment, and member accounts are subject to suspension or cancellation, by Mountain FM for any activity which is in violation of any rules, or which is not in compliance with the intent of the program. Mountain FM shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse or violation of The Gold Mine rules, and any decision it makes relating to adjustment of Points or termination of membership shall be final and binding. Members will be notified of any such adjustments through a posting in the history log (viewable in the Transactions section of My Account in the The Gold Mine) or through an email sent to the email address in the member's account profile. Should the member disagree with any Points adjustment or account suspension, the sole remedy will be withdrawal from the program.
