1. Membership Eligibility and Overview
 

1.1. The Pure PrivilegeSM Program (“Program”) is offered at the sole discretion of Aveda Corporation (“Aveda,” “we,” “our” or “us”).  The Program is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual.  Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program.  Individuals who are legal residents of the United States (including its territories and possessions) and at least 18 years or older and who provide and maintain a valid e-mail address are eligible to become members.  No purchase is necessary to join the Program, but a one-time, nonrefundable enrollment fee of ten dollars ($10) is required in order to register for the Program.  The Program cannot be used for any business or commercial purposes and we may refuse to create an account for any reason.  Employees of Aveda and The Estée Lauder Companies and its affiliates, and such employees’ family members (i.e. immediate family members residing in the same household as the employee) are not eligible to participate in the Program. Individuals employed by salons, spas and retail locations that participate in the Program, and family members of such individuals, are not eligible to participate in the Program. 

1.2. By joining the Program and becoming a Program member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Program Terms and Conditions of Participation (“Program Terms”) and by any changes or modifications we may make.  You should review these Program Terms and the related policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Program as they may change from time to time.  These Program Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services.  By enrolling in the Program, you also agree to be bound by our website Privacy Policy [http://www.aveda.com/customer-service-privacy] and our website Terms and Conditions [http://www.aveda.com/customer-service-terms], which are incorporated herein by reference.  If you do not agree to these Program Terms, our website Privacy Policy and our website Terms and Conditions, you cannot participate in the Program. The Program is void where prohibited by law.
 

2. Program Enrollment
 

2.1. Eligible individuals may enroll in the Program through one of the following options:
 

2.1.1. Visit www.aveda.com (collectively, the “Site”) and follow the Program prompts to register for the Program;
 

2.1.2. Visit an Aveda owned and operated retail store (i.e. Aveda Experience Center) or institute and tell an associate you would like to register for the Program; or
 

2.1.3. Visit an Aveda partner retail location, salon, spa or institute that participates in the Program and tell an associate you would like to register for the Program.
 

2.2. You are required to provide your full name, mailing address and e-mail address, in order to enroll.  If you enroll at the Site, you must create a password in order to enroll.  You may also be given the opportunity to provide your birth date and phone number, but this information is optional.

3. How the Program Works and Program Benefits
 

3.1. The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products.  You are able to earn points by making eligible purchases. Purchases made at (1) Aveda-owned freestanding retail stores (i.e. Aveda Experience Center) and institutes, (2) Program-participating partner salons, spas, retail locations and institutes and (3) the Site are eligible for the Program. For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program and (a) your Pure PrivilegeSM membership must be linked to your online account at the time of purchase on the Site; or (b) you must provide your Program member identification card when making your purchase at an Aveda-owned retail store (i.e. Aveda Experience Center) or Program-participating salon, spa, retail location or institute.  Failure to present a membership identification card at time of purchase may delay point accumulation or prevent you from receiving points. Once you earn a certain number/level of points, you may be eligible for certain rewards applicable to that number of points, which rewards may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis.  Eligible purchases and other opportunities to earn points will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in-store, in marketing communications, social media, etc.).  Visit our FAQs [http://www.aveda.com/pureprivilege] to learn more about earning points.
 

3.2. Program members earn 10 points for every $1 spent on qualifying purchases at Program-participating locations in the United States and the Site. You may also earn bonus points for qualifying purchases made during exclusive promotions. Terms and conditions apply; see details of each promotion for more information. Qualifying purchases include regular-priced Aveda merchandise, and exclude sales tax, services, Aveda eGift Cards, spa/salon/boutique gift cards, promotions (unless otherwise specified by us) state fees, shipping charges, delivery charges or other excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time. Program members also earn: 10 points for every £1 spent on qualifying purchases at Program-participating locations in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland; 10 points for every $1 CAD spent on qualifying purchases at Program-participating locations in Canada; and 7 points for every €1 spent on qualifying purchases at Program-participating locations in the Republic of Ireland. Members will earn points on purchases of Aveda Gift Cards at Aveda-owned retail stores (i.e. Aveda Experience Center), but members do not earn points when redeeming Aveda Gift Cards for a qualifying Aveda purchase. Members earn points when redeeming Aveda eGift Cards on www.aveda.com, but members do not earn points on purchases of Aveda eGift Cards. Aveda Gift Cards and Aveda eGift Cards cannot be returned or exchanged for cash, except as required by law.
 

3.3. Purchases made in salons, spas, department stores and retail stores that are not eligible to participate in the Program do not qualify for the Program, and you will not earn points on such purchases.
 

3.4. Neither accounts nor rewards and/or points may be shared or combined.  Only the member paying for the products may accumulate rewards and/or points.  We reserve the right to monitor the number of accounts per household and refuse, merge or close additional or duplicate accounts at any time.
 

3.5. Points earned through the Program will expire if your account becomes inactive. To keep your account active, you must make a purchase under your Program account within 24 months by either: (1) logging into your Program account on the Site and making a purchase; or (2) presenting your Program member identification card when making a purchase at Aveda-owned retail stores (i.e. Aveda Experience Center) and institutes or at Program-participating salons, spas, retail locations and institutes.  Membership will expire if a member is inactive for a period of 24 months or more.
 

3.6. Rewards and/or points earned through the Program have no cash value, are non-transferable, and you have no property rights in or to rewards or other Program benefits.  Purchase balances and/or points credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if part or all of the purchase is returned or cancelled or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Program Terms as determined by us in our sole discretion.  The sale, barter, transfer, donation, auction or assignment of any rewards offered through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited. Any applicable tax liabilities resulting from rewards earned or points awarded under the Program are the responsibility of the member.
 

3.7. Rewards cannot be exchanged or returned for points, another product or a monetary refund.

We reserve the right to change Program rewards/benefits, how you earn points and how we evaluate and reward your eligible purchases and/or other Program activity.  We reserve the right to place limits on the number of purchases or activities that are eligible for the Program and/or for any point level, the number or types of rewards you may receive or earn at any given point level, in a given time period or for the duration of the Program, and/or any combination thereof. 
 

3.11. It may take up to 30 days for eligible purchases to post to your account.  If you make a qualifying purchase at the Site, points will be added to your online account when your qualifying purchase ships.
