1. a.     There are no membership fees associated with the Program.  To enroll, visit www.dr.hauschka.com/loyalty-program.  Once you are enrolled in the Program and have accepted the Terms, you can view and manage your Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Loyalty Account (“Program Account”) by logging into https://www.dr.hauschka.com/en_US/account/?login_type=normal-login.  You may only have one Program Account per person, and it is non-transferable.  You are responsible for anyone else who uses your Program Account.

1. b.    You agree: (i) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information (“User Information”) about yourself as prompted by any registration form; and (ii) to maintain and promptly update its User Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.  If DHSC has reasonable grounds to suspect that User Information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, DHSC may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Program (or any portion thereof).  You are solely and fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password (“Credentials”) and are solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Credentials.  You agree to: (i) immediately notify DHSC of any unauthorized use of your Credentials or any other breach of security; and (ii) ensure that you log off from your Program Account at the end of each Website session.  DHSC cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

1. c.     The Program Terms remains effective from the moment you sign up for the Program until terminated, which will occur automatically without notice from the DHSC if you fail to comply with any provision of the Program Terms, you have more than one Program Account, or that the use of your Program Account or your participation in the Program is unauthorized, abusive, deceptive, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful.  DHSC reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, at any time and for any reason, to: (i) remove or disable access to all or any portion of the Program; (ii) suspend your access to or use of all or any portion of the Program; and (iii) terminate these Terms.  DHSC may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel or combine Program Accounts which appear to be duplicative.  In the event that your participation in the Program is terminated, you will forfeit any promotional rewards attached to your account and your Program Tier.

1. d.    DHSC also reserves the right to “unregister” a Program Account, without notice, that is inactive and cause that Program Account to be ineligible for the Program.  An inactive Program Account is defined as a Program Account that has not earned Loyalty Points for one (1) year.  In the event that your Program Account is unregistered due to inactivity, you will no longer be eligible for Loyalty Program benefits, including accumulating Loyalty Points or tiered rewards.  You may reactivate your Program Account by logging into https://www.dr.hauschka.com making a purchase using the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care account associated with your Program Account.  However, any Loyalty Points earned prior to the Program Account being deemed inactive will be voided.

1. e.     You may cancel your membership at any time by notifying Member Services by e-mail at support@nextbee.com.  Cancellation may take from three to five business days to finalize.  Upon cancellation, your Program Account will be deactivated.  If your Program Account is canceled or deactivated, you will not receive outstanding rewards related to your Account.

1. 5.     Earning Loyalty Points. 

1. a.     The benefits that are available to you through the Program are based on the number of Loyalty Points which you earn by making qualifying DHSC product purchases or otherwise participating in DHSC Promotional Activities.  If you void a purchase or return your purchase, DHSC will not deduct the Loyalty Points that you were awarded for that purchase from your Program Account.

1. b.    In order to receive Loyalty Points for a purchase, your order must be placed on www.dr.hauschka.com/en_US.  You will earn Loyalty Points based on the total amount paid for your purchase, excluding any tax and shipping.  Phone orders and guest checkouts do not qualify.  Loyalty Points are given to members in good standing with DHSC. For more details about how to earn Loyalty Points by making qualifying purchases, please visit https://www.dr.hauschka.com/loyalty-program.

1. c.     From time to time, we may offer you opportunities to earn Bonus Points (“Bonus Points”), such as taking advantage of a specific product offer or activity or engaging with DHSC in special promotional events (“Promotional Activities).

1. d.    The number of Loyalty Points that you can earn each calendar year by participating in Promotional Activities may be capped.  Loyalty Points for participation in Promotional Activities will be awarded as described in the applicable promotional offer and will be subject to any additional terms set forth in the promotional offer.  Some Promotional Activities may limit the amount of Loyalty Points earned per Promotional Activity.  Loyalty Points for eligible participation in Promotional Activities may take seven or more days to be added to your Program Account.

1. 6.     Using Loyalty Points.  Loyalty points earned through the Program are used solely for the purpose of reaching the next Loyalty Program tier which offers better Loyalty Program rewards.  LOYALTY Points are not redeemable for cash or discounts.  Loyalty Points accumulated under the Program are promotional in nature and have no cash value.  Your Loyalty Points and Program Account are personal to your dr.hauschka.com account and may not be sold, transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) or assigned to or shared with, family, friends or others.  You are responsible for any federal, state or local taxes applicable to your participation in the Program.

1. 7.     Rewards and Tiers.  The Program has three tiers based upon the number of points a Program participant has accrued through qualified purchases and activities. Each Tier has specific Rewards associated with it.  Upon earning enough Loyalty Points to reach the next Tier, the Account owner will begin to receive the new Rewards associated with that Tier.  For a complete list of current Tiers and Rewards, visit https://www.dr.hauschka.com/loyalty-program  DHSC retains the right to alter or remove any of these Rewards over the lifetime of the Program.
