Fraud or abuse relating to the accrual of Points or redemption of Benefits will result in revocation of Loyalty Membership in the Loyalty Program and will affect a member's eligibility for participation in any other Luxottica program. Revocation results in a forfeiture of all Points and Benefits. The interpretation and application of the Loyalty Program's Loyalty Terms and rules are at the sole discretion and determination of Luxottica. Members are responsible for remaining knowledgeable about the Loyalty Terms.

The information you provide as a member of the Loyalty Program will be handled according to Sunglass Hut Privacy Policy. If you have questions about the Sunglass Hut Privacy Policy, you can contact us at privacy@luxottica.com.
Loyalty Memberships are not transferable.
Luxottica is not responsible for use of a member's Loyalty Membership in the event a member's Loyalty Membership is stolen and the Loyalty Membership is used or the Benefits are redeemed prior to the member informing Luxottica that the member's Loyalty Membership has been stolen.
- Loyalty Marketing
Members are allowed to subscribe to the specific marketing campaigns which Sunglass Hut may run by email in the context of the Loyalty Program. Such a marketing subscription is independent and separated (also in terms of unsubscription management) from the general marketing subscription of Sunglass Hut, which does not include Loyalty marketing communications.
Through their online Loyalty My Account, members may check and modify their marketing preferences. They can also keep these preferences up-to-date through request raised in instore, or by contacting Sunglass Hut Customer Care at 0800 026 80 27.
- Loyalty Membership Cancellation
You may cancel your Loyalty Membership at any time via your online Loyalty My Account, by asking an associate instore or by contacting Sunglass Hut Customer Care at 0800 026 80 27. Upon cancellation, any Points accrued will be forfeited and no further Benefit can be redeemed. Membership can be restored within 10 days from the loyalty membership cancellation request to keep Points accrued and the access to the Benefits.
POINTS
- General
Members can earn Loyalty Program Points (“Points”) with the purchase of qualifying products from Sunglass Hut branded retail stores located in the United Kingdom or online at www.sunglasshut.com/uk or by fulfilling “Accrual Missions” (see II.4 paragraph for exclusions).
For each GBP spent on qualifying products and services, members will receive a certain number of Points based on the active rules in that specific moment and purchasing channel. When a member makes a qualifying purchase using a gift card (payment method), the member will earn Points on the amount of the purchase.From time to time, Luxottica may run certain bonus points promotions (“Bonus Point Promotions”). Bonus Point Promotions are subject to the terms and conditions of the offer and may be offered at any time in Luxottica’s sole discretion.
For non-transactional points accrual, the members will be invited to complete some actions (“Accrual Missions”), online or instore, that will grant them Points. The members will be informed about the available and completed Accrual Missions from their online Loyalty My Account.
Points accrual rules can be changed at Luxottica’s sole discretion at any time.
To earn Points you must be (i) a registered member of the Loyalty Program and provide the Loyalty Card number and the email address associated with a registered Loyalty Membership or (ii) join the Loyalty Program at the same time as the purchase or, for online purchases, immediately after the purchase from the thank you page.
Points are only a measurement of your participation in the Loyalty Program. Use of the word “earn” in marketing materials or these Loyalty Terms in relation to Points shall mean to collect Points as a measurement of participation in the Loyalty Program and does not mean that the Points have any value. Points are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. Points are not your property. Points may not be transferred by operation of law, such as by inheritance or in bankruptcy. The sale, resale, or barter of Points is prohibited and may result in the forfeiture of your Points as well as termination of membership, which in each case shall be final and conclusive.
A member's Points balance, as reflected in Luxottica’s records, shall be deemed correct. Luxottica reserves the right to determine the amount of Points in any member's Loyalty Profile based on Luxottica’s internal records related to such member's Loyalty Profile.
Members can check their Points Balance at any time via their online Loyalty My Account, by asking an associate instore or by contacting Sunglass Hut Customer Care at 0800 026 80 27.
Points Expiration
Points are valid for a period of 24 months rolling and expire on the last day of the calendar month in which they were earned (i.e., if points are earned on 8/14/2024, they will expire on 8/31/2026).In addition, Points will automatically expire if your Loyalty Membership is revoked or otherwise cancelled.
Timing of the addition of Points to Loyalty Profile
Points will be earned on the date of the relevant purchase or on the date the Accrual Mission is completed, regardless of when the Points are added to your Loyalty Profile. The timing for issuing Points is subject to change.Exclusions
Members will not earn points on purchases of Sunglass Hut services and gift cards. Members will earn points only on UK Sunglass Hut retail stores: the full list of Sunglass Hut branded retail stores located in the United Kingdom that participate to the Loyalty Program can be found in Annex 1 that will be periodically updated. Sunglass Hut Points will not be earned for shipping charges and all taxes, if applicable. Points will not be earned on any discounts or other credits offered in connection with a product or services. For example, if a product that is normally £100 is on sale for £75, a member will only earn Points on the purchase price of £75. All purchases made: (i) without identifying themselves as a member of the Loyalty Program, or (ii) without providing an email address associated with a registered Loyalty Profile and a Loyalty Card are not eligible to earn Points. All purchases made by a member prior to such member joining the Loyalty Program are not eligible to earn Points. For online purchases, if a member joins the Loyalty Program immediately after the purchase - from the thank you page - the member may earn Points on the purchase; if not, then the purchase is not eligible to earn Points.Returns
Points earned for a purchase that is then the subject of a return, refund, returned check due to non-sufficient funds, or other credit will be deducted from the member's Point balance in an amount equal to the Points earned for the original transaction, including bonus Points. The reduction in Points may result in a change in Tier Status.
BENEFITS
- General
The reach of a Membership Tier gives members access to the Benefits offered by that tier. Benefits may vary by tier and some tiers may have more benefits than others. Benefits are only available at Sunglasshut branded retail stores located in the United Kingdom that participate to the Loyalty Program and online at www.sunglasshut.com/uk. Each benefit may be subject to its own terms and conditions. The terms and conditions may govern among others any of the following: how often the benefit may be redeemed, how the benefit can be redeemed, and when a benefit is valid.
Benefits can be changed at Luxottica’s sole discretion at any time. Non redeemed benefits will no longer be available once Luxottica decides to exclude them from the list of available benefits.
Tiers of Membership
