The company's disclaimer states that the rebate will be provided in the form of a Verizon Wireless Gift Card, Motorola Visa Prepaid Card, carrier credit, or other equivalent at Motorola's sole discretion. It further mentions that the offer is applicable only on the trade-in of an eligible device.

The program is applicable to United States sales of Android Motorola smartphones first offered in 2011 or later.

As part of our commitment to deliver the best of smartphone technology, we plan to roll out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to a number of our devices first offered in 2011 or later.Though we are working hard to deliver that upgrade, not all of our devices will receive it. In the United States, we have created a program for owners of qualifying devices that will not receive Jelly Bean. We are offering a $100 rebate when those eligible trade up to a new Motorola smartphone.
