TIMING

This Programme runs from 1st February 2024 until 31st October 2024 (inclusive). 

USE OF DATA

Personal data which you provide when you register for the Programme may be used for Programme communications and future Hoover marketing activity. If you agree to this use, please tick the ‘accept terms and conditions box’ on the Programme website. 

EARNING POINTS

Points will be awarded to participants every 30 days based on achievement and sales over the preceding 3 months. Sales must be logged within 90 days of the sale date.
Participants may opt to either:
(i) save points awarded for redemption at a later date; or
(ii) redeem some or all of the points awarded on a monthly basis for prizes through the www.hooverpowerpoints.co.uk website.

From time to time points awarded or transacted may be audited and in the event that an audit reveals discrepancies or possible violations, the processing of further award redemption requests may be delayed pending completion of the audit and pending the outcome of any corrections to be applied.

Points must be redeemed via the Programme Website.  Prizes, once chosen, can only be changed if the redeemer contacts us within 24 hours of the redemption.    

All points on account must be redeemed by 31st December 2024.  Points that are not redeemed and remain on your account after this date will be removed. 

Fraudulent use of accounts and points on participant’s accounts will result in the account being immediately suspended.  Fraudulent activity may result in the termination of Participants account and the cancellation of accrued points, rewards or benefits, or both. 


ORDERING REWARDS

Points may only be redeemed via the Programme Website Administrator.  Prizes, once chosen, can only be changed if the redeemer contacts us within 24 hours of the redemption.  

Points cannot be redeemed for cash, cheque, bank deposit or any other kind of payment by Hoover to the Participant.

Participants may not combine cash, cheque, bank deposit or any other kind of payment and points to redeem rewards. Rewards can only be redeemed by using points.

Delivery is only available to the participant’s country of residence.

Experience rewards will be fulfilled by the participant’s direct arrangement with the experience reward supplier, in accordance with each individual supplier’s availability, lead-time and capability. 

Substitution

In the case of a Reward item not being available, The Administrator will contact the Participant within 7 days of placing the order and offer a replacement item of similar value.  If the Participant does not wish to accept the replacement item, the original value of the reward deducted from the Participant’s account will be re-credited.  

The Administrator reserves the right to remove or include any reward from the range at our discretion and Participants may not rely upon the continued availability of a reward category or reward item.  The Administrator will honour any Rewards that have already been ordered by a Participant prior to any price alterations.

Delivery

The delivery of reward items will be made within 28 days of placement of order unless otherwise stated on the website or by email communication.

The delivery of all reward items will be made to the address as supplied by the Participant at the time of order.  The delivery address for reward items should be to an address where the item can be signed for.  If there is nobody available to sign for receipt of the goods then the delivery company will usually leave a card with contact details for the Participant to arrange delivery again.  Where a rearranged delivery is made and there is nobody present to sign for the item the supplier may at their discretion charge for re-delivery costs and this will be passed on to the Participant. 

Participants should not accept delivery of items that have been delivered where the packaging is damaged.  Delivery of damaged items must be refused and our customer service team must be advised immediately so that we can contact the supplier and arrange for replacement product to be shipped.  If the package is opened and item is then found to be faulty then the Participant must advise us within 24 hours and will make contact with the supplier on the participant’s behalf to arrange a replacement or suitable alternative.  

Where a signed-for delivery is made to the Participant but delivery is not possible for whatever reason, The Administrator will arrange for re-delivery at the earliest possible opportunity but there may be charges incurred by the participant from the courier or similar service provider for re-attempting delivery for which the Participant shall be liable.

Returns

Returns of reward items will be arranged for the Participant if there is a fault with the reward item or it is damaged provided the issue is reported to The Administrator within 24 hours of receipt.  Couriers will not generally accept liability for damages or lost items beyond this time frame.    

If the Participant wishes to discuss or organise a return, exchange or refund of any item, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt.  

The Participant acknowledges that some reward items are not returnable and non-refundable (i.e. items with a customised aspect or which are made to order, perishable goods such as flowers/food or personal items such as jewellery or cosmetics).

Once the reward item has been received by the Participant, provided there is no damage the Participant accepts all risks for the goods and will need to contact the manufacturer if a fault develops at a later stage as per manufacturer warranty terms and conditions.

Vouchers and Gift Cards

From time to time the retailers who provide the vouchers or gift cards may experience temporary delays in providing The Administrator with the stock of vouchers or cards.  In the event that delays will impact on The Administrator’s ability to deliver the Order as originally scheduled, The Administrator will advise the Participant and discuss appropriate actions.

In the event of a gift card or voucher being lost or stolen in transit, The Administrator will investigate whether the card or voucher has been used.  
a)    If the card has been dispatched via 1st or 2nd Class Royal Mail Service and has not been redeemed, The Administrator will issue a replacement card
b)    If the card has been dispatched via 1st or 2nd Class Royal Mail Service and has been redeemed the participant will be charged for a replacement card
c)    If the card has been dispatched by Special Delivery or other courier service and the delivery has been signed for at the correct address, the participant will be charged for a replacement card; if the card has been incorrectly delivered The Administrator will investigate and replace as appropriate.

Where a Participant reports a voucher or gift card as lost or stolen, the Participant acknowledges that a fee is deducted from the balance of the card for the issuance of a replacement. The Administrator is not liable for any refusal of a retailer to deactivate or provide credit or replacement of a lost or stolen gift card or voucher.  Once a gift card or voucher is delivered, the Participant assumes all risk and liabilities for the gift cards and voucher and no refunds will be made.
