SCORE AND LEADERBOARD
15. The “Score” of each Hro card is determined by the card’s rarity and mint number. The greater the rarity of a card, the higher the Score will be for such card. The lower the mint number for a card, the higher the Score will be for such card. Following are a few examples (Note: actual Scores may vary and the following examples are for illustration purposes only):
Example 1: Participant A has 1 Mythic tier card (high rarity). Participant B has 1 Common tier card (low rarity). Participant A will have a higher Score than Participant B.
Example 2: Participant A has 1 Common card with a mint number of A22000. Participant B has 1 Common card with a mint number of A500. Participant B will have a higher Score than Participant A.
16. The Score of a card and the Score of a collection have no cash value (Note: a Participant’s “collection” consists of all cards held by the Participant on the Hro Platform). The Score may not be redeemed or “cashed out” by Participant. The Score will appear in each Participant’s Account and will determine Participant’s ranking on the Hro Platform Leader board(and other Hro leader boards).
17. Subject to the notice and cure procedure laid out in the last paragraph of the Clause “ENROLLMENT IN THE PROGRAM”, USPC reserves the right to invalidate a Score and remove a Participant from the Hro Platform leader board if the Score was improperly or fraudulently obtained, or that Participant otherwise breach these Terms and Conditions or the Hro Terms of Use.
REWARD POINTS, QUESTS, BURNING, AND CRAFTING
18. Quests will allow Participants to accumulate Reward Points by completing quests such as daily login, weekly/monthly accumulative logins, trading, scanning, completing a tier, completing a Hro card collection, remaining on top of a Hro Platform leader board for a certain amount of time, opening packs, and completing certain purchases on the Hro Platform. Participants may also receive Rewards by digitally “burning” cards or performing “crafting” recipes. Following are a few examples (Note: the following examples are for illustration purposes only):
Example 1: Participants may take 2 of their Superior Ink tier cards and combine them with 10,000 Reward Points to redeem an eligible Epic tier Reward card.
Example 2: Participants may take one of their Epic tier cards and one of their Superior Ink tier cards and combine them with 50,000 Rewards Point to redeem an eligible Legendary tier Reward card.
19. Crafting recipes are subject to change IN ACCORDANCE WITH the Clause “MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” above. Participants may only use reward points to redeem eligible Rewards and for no other purpose. For example, reward points may not be used to purchase cards on Hro Platform.
20. The Program allows Participants to receive Rewards and Rewards Points through a Stealth Snapshot promotional mechanic (“Stealth Snapshot”).
STEALTH SNAPSHOTS
21. USPC may use a Participant’s ownership of specific Hro cards to determine eligibility for certain Rewards. This may be done by using a point system that awards points for a Participant’s ownership of specific Hro cards (“Ownership Points”) or by using Participant’s ownership of a specific collection of Hro cards. Stealth Snapshots are unannounced and will be done at a day and time determined by USPC. Following are a few examples (Note: the following examples are for illustration purposes only):
Example 1: Participants are awarded 1 Ownership Point for ownership of a Common card with a circulation size of 16,000, 10 Ownership Points for an Uncommon card with a circulation size of 1,700, 30 Ownership Points for an Epic card with a circulation size of 600, and 120 Ownership Points for a Legendary card with a circulation size of 150. Participants are eligible to receive a Reward for every 50 Ownership Points that they have accumulated at the time of the Stealth Snapshot.
Example 2: Participants are eligible to receive different types of Rewards, if at the time of the Stealth Snapshot, they have 1 Chapter 1 Mythic Wonder Woman card, 1 Chapter 1 Legendary Wonder Woman card, and/or 1 Chapter 1 Super Heroes Wonder Woman card.
22. STEALTH SNAPSHOT POINT VALUES, QUALIFYING CARDS, AND REWARDS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH the Clause “MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” above.
HRO COLLECTION REWARD POINTS
23. USPC may use Stealth Snapshots to determine Participants’ eligibility to receive Reward Points. Eligibility will be based on Participants who have a collection of completed Hro card tiers, along with individual Mythic-tier and Hro-tier cards at the time of the Stealth Snapshot. A completed tier collection is any tier within a collection with all cards collected. Following are a few examples (Note: the following examples are for illustration purposes only):
Example 1: Participants are eligible to receive Rewards Points, if at the time of the Stealth Snapshot, they have 8/8 Legendary Cards from Hybrid Collections.
Example 2: Participants are eligible to receive Reward Points, if at the time of the Stealth Snapshot, they have 9/9 Common Cards from a Digital Collection.
24. Hro-tier and Mythic-tier cards will be counted individually when determining a Participant’s eligibility for Reward Points. The following is an example. (Note: the following example is for illustration purposes only):
Example: If a Participant completes the Mythic set for Hybrid Chapter 1 the Participant would be eligible to receive Reward Points for completing the 3/3 set and for each card individually. If the Participant has only collected 2/3 in that set, the Participant would only be eligible to receive Reward Points for those two cards only.
25. If Participants have more than two complete sets, they are eligible to receive Reward Points for each one with the best cards counted for each set.
REWARDS
26. Eligibility requirements for Rewards will be set out on the Hro Platform, Hro’s social media channels and/or will be shared via email.
27. From time to time Participants may receive Rewards:
(a) based upon their overall Score (which determines their position on the Hro Platform leader board);
(b) if they have completed a specific Hro card collection (e.g., Participant has collected all Mythic cards, all Legendary cards, or all Batman Limited Edition cards); or
(c) by redeeming Rewards Points via the Hro Platform.
28. USPC will provide details of the “closing date” that will be used to determine eligibility for Rewards based on Participants’ overall Score, leader board position, ownership of specific cards and Reward Points.
29. Rewards may consist of Hro cards, uncut card sheets, framed art, in-person experiences, or other similar rewards. There are no cash alternatives for the Rewards. The Rewards will be provided within 30 working days from a valid acceptance of the Reward. If a Reward cannot be provided within 30 working days, Participants will be notified of when they will receive the Reward. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by USPC, the Reward will only be awarded to the eligible Participant, however an eligible Participant may waive the right to receive the Rewards.

30. Rewards are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Terms and Conditions. Participants will receive notice of Rewards by USPC or its designated representative via the Hro Platform, email or official Hro social media platforms.
