Coty reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the Terms of Service, in whole or in part, at any time. Coty will use reasonable efforts to notify users who register for the Service (“Members”) of any material change at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any change. Change notices may be communicated by posting an updated version of the Terms of Service on the Site in connection with the Program and, at the discretion of Coty, electronic mail. In any case, Members should periodically check the Terms of Service for changes. Members are responsible for being and remaining knowledgeable as to these Terms of Service. 

 

Coty may in its sole and absolute discretion cancel, change, suspend, or modify any aspect of the Service (including eligibility, the Program, Rewards, and/or Points, all as defined below), including the availability of any Rewards (defined below), at any time, even though changes may affect the value of Points, status levels, benefits, or Rewards already accumulated. Any such changes, cancellation, suspension or modification will be posted on the Site.

3. Membership Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States, District of Columbia, or US Territories, to use the Service. If you do not so qualify, you are prohibited from accessing, using and registering for the Service.  Coty or its affiliates may also have similar customer programs for different brands. Membership in the Program does not confer any rights or benefits in the program of any other program and Rewards and Points are not transferrable between such programs.

 

Employees, officers, directors, agents and representatives of Coty are eligible to be Members but may be excluded from certain promotions, experiences, and other Rewards. You cannot participate in the Program if it would violate your employer’s policies or any of your contractual relationships. The Program is provided to individuals only for their personal use. Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program. It is fraudulent for any individual or company, association, or group to direct, encourage, or allow individuals to use a single Rewards account for the purpose of accumulating Points for combined use.

 

Please note that the above eligibility criteria are subject to change, so if you are currently not eligible to participate in the Program, please check back with us frequently to see if the Program has become available to you.

 

4. Member Registration

To become a Member, each Site user must complete the registration process by providing Coty with current, complete and accurate information, as more specifically required by the then current registration procedures as set forth on https://skknbykim.com/pages/rewards. No purchase is necessary to obtain membership in the Program. We prohibit registration of, and you agree that you not register to be a Member, for anyone other than yourself.  By way of illustration and not limitation:

• To register for membership, you may be required to provide their name, date of birth, zip code, username, password, valid email address and certain additional information (such as, for example, preferred contact method and products and services of interest);
• To access certain functionalities or features of the Service, Members may also provide access information related to their accounts at social networking sites (such as, for example, Facebook, and Instagram);
• In order to obtain certain components of the Program, Members may be required to provide mobile telephone account information. Members shall maintain and update their registration data from time to time, to ensure that it is always current, complete and accurate. Members are entitled to only one account per individual.

Each Member is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its access credentials and other account information, and will be solely liable for any and all activities under its account. Members shall be responsible for keeping all account information up-to-date. Members agree to notify Coty immediately of any unauthorized use of Member's account or any other breach of security.

Memberships may not be sold or otherwise transferred. We have the right to cancel or suspend your registration for Membership for any reason or for no reason at any time, as determined in our sole discretion.

 

5. How Points are Accumulated

Members earn and accumulate loyalty rewards points (“Points”), by making qualifying purchases on the Site under your account after registration of and while maintaining membership to the Program (“Qualifying Purchase”).

• Members may also earn Points by taking certain eligible actions (such as by engaging in specified activities like visiting or watching videos, or by leaving a qualifying product review, as determined in Coty’s discretion), as further set forth at com/account?view=rewards. Methods for earning Points other than making Qualifying Purchases (including certain Points-bearing actions) change frequently without notice and we are not obligated to maintain any Points offer for any specific duration.
• Coty may also, at its sole and absolute discretion, offer and award “bonus” Points for certain actions (such as a sign-on bonus, if available). If bonus Points are available, such offers will be publicized on the Site, Additional rules and restrictions may apply to such bonus Point

Points are not valid unless earned in strict compliance with the relevant requirements, and Member shall not attempt to earn Points by any means (including without limitation, by using any script, bot or other automated means) that only simulates compliance with the applicable requirements.

Points will be posted and credited to your Program account on the Site when each applicable Qualifying Purchase ships. Until Points are credited to your account, your Points will show as “pending” in your account.

 

6. How Points May Be Redeemed and other Points-Based Benefits

The Program allows Members to redeem Points on the Site via their own personal account for specific, then-available Member benefits (the “Rewards”).  Current Rewards offered are available on the rewards program page https://skknbykim.com/pages/rewards.

The Program may be structured to offer certain benefits based on the Member's current balance of "redeemable" Points (that is, Points that have not previously been redeemed) or "lifetime" Points (that is, all prior Points accumulated by Member, whether previously redeemed or not).

From time to time, Coty may offer benefits or privileges to Members in exchange for redemption of a specified number of Points during a transaction for Qualifying Purchase. The nature of those Rewards, and the number of Points required to obtain such benefits or privileges, shall be established by Coty in its sole discretion. Specific terms and conditions for Rewards will be posted and made available at the time of a transaction for a Qualifying Purchase. You understand and acknowledge that the terms and availability of Rewards may change at any time or from time to time, may be available for limited times, and are subject to change.

 

Coty reserves the right to suspend, terminate, withdraw, revalue or modify, without liability to Members, all or part of the redemption values of Points or other Rewards available in connection with registering for, accumulating, or redeeming Points in the Program. Notice of such changes will be made in accordance with Section 2. Coty reserves the rights to adjudicate all Points discrepancies or inquiries in its sole discretion, and Members agree to abide with any such adjudication. Coty additionally reserves the right to adjust a Member’s account balance if Points were deposited in error. 

 

7. Points Generally

Member acknowledges and agrees that:

• Points have no "real world" or cash value.
• In calculating Points from Qualifying Purchases, shipping, taxes, and purchases made with gift cards are excluded.
• Points have no purpose or use except in exchange for Rewards (if any) offered by Coty.
• Any items, benefits or privileges received as a result of a redemption of Points may not be exchanged or returned for cash or credit.
• Rewards may be time-limited and/or available only in limited quantities.
• Rewards for tangible items are while supplies last and provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Members will not be able to redeem Points for a Reward if Member has insufficient Points for such Reward.
• 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 (i) be deducted from the Member's account in an amount equal to the Points earned for the original transaction, including bonus Points or (ii) not be posted to the Member’s account, as applicable. Accordingly, Points balances may become negative.
• Points cannot be redeemed by, or sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred to, any other Member of this Program or any other individual.
• Upon termination of Member's registration for any reason, all Points are lost, to the extent permitted by law, regardless of how they were acquired by Member.
• Coty's ability to accurately credit Points to Member's account based on Member's activities at third party social networking sites may be restricted by the accuracy, access, terms, conditions or functions of such sites. Coty is not responsible or liable as a result of any such restriction to award Points or otherwise to the Member.
• Coty's good faith determination of the amount of Points available to any Member hereunder shall be final and binding, and Coty shall not be liable for any improper denial of a Point accrual or Reward.

 

8. Expiration of Points and Benefits Due to Inactivity

Once you register for the Program, if our records indicate that you have not made any Qualifying Purchases within any rolling twelve (12) month period, all accrued but unused redeemable Points will become expired and immediately unusable on the day following the end of that 12-month period. Any benefits available in connection with the then-expired Points will also be forfeited.  Coty may, at its discretion, send you periodic notifications to remind you that your redeemable Points will expire due to Qualifying Purchase inactivity. However, it is your responsibility to monitor your Program account, Point expiry, and activity status. Please note that any Points earned in connection with non-Qualifying Purchase related activities, do count as activity for the purposes of maintaining accrued Points.

 

If you have questions regarding the date of your last Qualifying Purchase, you may call 888-720-SKKN (888-720-7556).
