3. Avantages du Programme

3.1 The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and/or taking other Program related actions. Vous pouvez débloquer les niveaux de fidélité du Programme en effectuant des achats éligibles ou en prenant certaines mesures en lien avec le Programme. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to unlock Program loyalty tiers will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in marketing communications, social media, etc.). Une fois que vous débloquez un certain niveau de fidélité, vous pouvez prétendre à certaines avantages et récompenses applicables à ce niveau. Les avantages sont susceptibles de changer de temps en temps et peuvent être offerts sur une base limitée. Visit our FAQS for a current list of available benefits and rewards.

3.2. The Program is a tier-based program determined by the amount a member has spent on qualifying purchases within a single calendar year. There are 4 tiers with associated benefits – Lover, Seduced, Devoted and Obsessed. Program tiers are based on your qualifying purchases at M·A·C Cosmetics owned and operated stores in Belgium and the Site, during a calendar year. When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Tier 1, Lover and be eligible for all the benefits Lover members receive. Purchases of 100€ or more in a calendar year are required to advance to the Seduced tier and qualify for Seduced benefits. Purchases of 300€ or more in a calendar year are required to advance to the Devoted tier and qualify for Devoted benefits. Purchases of 550€ or more in a calendar year are required to advance to the Obsessed tier and qualify for Obsessed benefits. Each year after the enrollment year, on January 1, your points reset to zero. While your points reset each calendar year, your tier status is determined by the amount you spend on qualifying purchases in the prior calendar year of membership. Your status in a particular tier is valid for the calendar year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full calendar year (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31). After that, you’ll need to spend enough on qualified purchases to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Seduced, during your first year, you’ll maintain Seduced status during your second year. But, if you spend less than 100€ on qualifying purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Lover status in January of third year. For the year in which you enroll in the Program, tiers are based on the amount spent on qualifying purchases in the calendar year, commencing on the first date after your enrollment when you make a qualifying purchase using your Program membership identification number, and ending on December 31 of that calendar year. After the first year, tiers are based on the amount spent on qualifying products and services in a calendar year (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31).

3.3. For your eligible purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program and you must provide your Program member identification at the time of purchase by logging into your account on the Site or by providing your membership identification in a M·A·C Cosmetics owned and operated store in Belgium. To earn rewards and benefits, your purchase must be made on qualifying products and services. Qualifying purchases include regular priced merchandise and services, and exclude purchases made with third party retailers, e-gift cards, wonderbox cards, sales tax, state fees if applicable, shipping charges, delivery charges or other excluded charges and/or purchases specified by us from time-to-time, including, but not limited to, certain charitable products where funds are donated to M·A·C Viva Glam Foundation or any other charitable organization, value sets, select premium products and services, and other specified products.

3.4. Neither accounts nor rewards may be shared or combined. Only the member paying for the products may accumulate benefits and rewards. 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. Les avantages et récompenses remportés dans le cadre du Programme n’ont aucune valeur marchande et ne sont pas transférables.

Purchase balances credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if all or part of the purchase is returned or cancelled, or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Terms as determined by us in our sole but reasonable discretion. We are not responsible for rewards lost or redeemed due to fraudulent activity by you or any third party. We are not responsible for rewards that are lost, stolen or otherwise destroyed. La vente, le troc, le transfert ou la remise d’une récompense ou d’un avantage obtenus grâce au Programme, par quelqu’un d’autre que nous, est strictement interdite. Any applicable tax liabilities resulting from rewards earned under the Program are the responsibility of the member.

3.6. We reserve the right to change Program benefits, how you unlock each Program tier and how we evaluate and reward your eligible purchases and/or other Program activity in accordance with article 5.1.
