The Program is administered by Prize Logic, LLC, 25200 Telegraph Road, Suite 405, Southfield, MI 48033 (“Administrator”). In its sole and absolute discretion, the Sponsor may change, modify, or terminate any and all aspects of the Program including, without limitation, its rules, terms, conditions, or rewards, with or without notice. Such changes may or may not affect previously earned Points and Rewards.
NOTICE ABOUT DISPUTE RESOLUTION: Any disputes relating to the Program are subject to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 10 of these Official Terms and Conditions.
PROGRAM PERIOD: The Program is an ongoing loyalty Program which will continue until terminated in accordance with these Official Terms and Conditions (“Program Period”). Any changes will be reflected on the Program Website and in these Official Terms and Conditions. Sponsor may terminate or extend this Program at any time without prior notice in its sole and absolute discretion. Sponsor’s computer is the official clock for this Program.
PROGRAM MODIFICATION: During the Program Period the specific activities/purchase items, point values, and rewards (as set forth in Sections 5 and 7) or any other aspect of the Program may change at Sponsor’s discretion. Any changes will be effective immediately and reflected on the Program Website and in these Official Terms and Conditions. Your continued access to or participation in the Program after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the change(s).
ELIGIBILITY: The Program is open only to those legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are adult tobacco smokers aged twenty-one (21) years of age or older and registered members of bluNation on blu.com (the “Website”) at the time of participation (“Participants”). Some rewards may be subject to additional eligibility requirements and other restrictions (as set forth in Section 7). Employees, officers, directors, representatives, and agents of Sponsor, Administrator, and each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, “Program Entities”) and each of their immediate family members (e.g., spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses and the “steps” of each, regardless of where they reside) and persons living in the same household of each, whether or not related, are not eligible to participate or receive rewards. Where Program elements are prohibited, they are void and unavailable. Some elements of the program are consequently unavailable in some jurisdictions. The Program is void where prohibited or restricted by law. Participation constitutes Participant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Terms and Conditions and Sponsor’s decisions and interpretations, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Program.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE: To be eligible to participate, you must be a registered member of the Website. To become a registered member of the Website, you may register for free by visiting the Website, selecting “Login”, found on the right side of the Website, and following the 2 registration directions, including certifying that you are an adult tobacco smoker who is twenty-one (21) years of age or older and accepting the Program Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Participants must then click “Create Account” to create their account (“Account”), and provide their email, first and last name, date of birth, phone number, mailing address and create a password. All registrations are verified through a third-party verification service. After completing the required steps, Participants can begin to earn points (“Points”) by completing activities (“Activities”) as set forth in Section 5 below. Points may be used to redeem rewards (“Rewards”) as set forth in Section 6 below. It is the sole responsibility of each Participant to ensure that the contact information for their Account is accurate and up-to-date. If a Participant creates multiple Accounts or attempts to participate in the Program using multiple identities, then Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may disqualify the Participant and void any or all such Accounts. The Program is intended for personal use only. Commercial use is prohibited.
HOW TO EARN POINTS: During the Program Period, Participants may earn Points by completing various Activities as well as entering product codes (“Code”) on eligible retail purchases (excluding e-cigarette USB wall chargers). Participants will also receive 1,000 Points upon joining the Program. Each Code may be entered one (1) time only. For purchases made at retail locations that sell blu products, Participants can upload the Code found inside the blu product packaging. A complete list of Activities, including eligible purchases, can be found on the Website. The list of eligible products is subject to change at any time without notice. Sponsor, at its sole discretion, may add, remove, or modify what Activities qualify, the frequency at which they may be completed, and the amount of points they are worth. Participants who obtain Points via any opt-in method may unsubscribe from marketing e-mails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in the bottom of the e-mail they received from the Sponsor. Sponsor also reserves the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to distribute Points at various times throughout the Program Period through additional means which will be posted on the Website. It may take twenty-four (24) hours or more for the Point(s) to show in an Account. Sponsor assumes no liability for any discrepancies, delays, omissions, inconsistencies, or errors in the number of Points acquired as a result thereof as reported on the Website. The decisions of Administrator and Sponsor with respect to the Program, including without limitation, Points, Account balances, and Rewards transactions are final and binding and non-appealable in all respects. Points may not be combined from different promotions or accounts for any purpose. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion, to invalidate Points from an Account, or terminate an Account, if it determines that such Points were improperly credited to such Account, obtained fraudulently or in violation of these Official Terms and Conditions. Points do not constitute property, do not entitle Participants to a vested right or interest, and have no cash value. As such, Points are only redeemable for Rewards in this Program. Points are not redeemable for cash and are not saleable, transferable, or assignable for any reason.
HOW TO REDEEM POINTS ONLINE FOR REWARDS: During the Program Period, Points can be redeemed for Rewards displayed on the Website while Rewards’ supplies last. The number of Points required to redeem a Reward will be stated in the Rewards catalog available on the Website. Participants cannot redeem Points for a Reward unless the Participant has accumulated the required number of Points in their Account. To redeem a Reward, the Participant must log into the Website and follow the on-screen instructions to review available Rewards. The Participant must select the Reward he/she wishes to redeem and carefully review any restrictions and terms of each individual Reward. Once selected, the required number of Points for the Reward will be deducted from the Participant’s Account. Once Points have been redeemed for a Reward, they may not be transferred, returned or refunded to an Account for any reason, including if the Reward is stolen or lost. Subject to termination of the Program or modification as provided for in Section 2, Points will expire and will be void if an Account is not active for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days or more. An Account will be considered “active” when a participant either earns or redeems Points during the Program and 180-day Period. In the event that the Program is terminated, participants will have thirty (30) days from the date of termination to redeem any unused Points.
PROGRAM REWARDS: A list of available Rewards may be found on the Website. Certain Rewards may be void where prohibited by law. Not all coupons and Rewards will be available to all Participants and some may be subject to additional terms. Rewards may be changed or discontinued at any time. Due to state and local legal restrictions prohibiting the redemption of tobacco product coupons, including coupons for e-cigarettes and related vaping products, Points cannot be redeemed for bluNation Retail Coupons by Participants where prohibited, including, for example, those who are residents of the following jurisdictions: MASSACHUSETTS; NEW JERSEY; NEW YORK; UTAH; and PROVIDENCE, RI.
A Participant may redeem Points for a $5 Retail Coupon that can be used in-person at retail locations. A Participant will need to redeem 500 Points for every $5 Retail Coupon. The Points will be deducted from the Participant’s Account once the coupon is redeemed. In the event a Participant lives in a jurisdiction that prohibits the redemption of these coupons or any other redeemed Reward, then the redemption request will not be fulfilled, and any Points redeemed will be added back into the Participant’s Account.
All Rewards available on the Website are subject to change by the Sponsor in its sole discretion without notice. Rewards will be redeemed on a “first come, first serve” basis in relation to when Participants electronically complete transactions in their Accounts. Once supplies of a Reward offered are exhausted, the Reward will expire, and will subsequently be designated on the Website as sold out, and/or will be deleted from the Website, and will no longer be available for redemption in the Program. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion (without obligation) to substitute merchandise of greater or equal value in the event supplies of any one Reward are depleted. No exchanges, returns, transfers, or refunds on Rewards are permitted for any reason. Sponsor does not guarantee the availability of any Reward for any period during the Program. Sponsor may, in its discretion, add new merchandise items for redemption during the Program Period. In the event that any Reward becomes unavailable, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute an item of equal or greater value in its sole discretion.
DELIVERY OF REWARDS: All Reward deliveries are subject to age verification prior to delivery. Digital Rewards will be delivered via email or via the website. Rewards for specific products may be delivered digitally via an electronic gift card. Physical Rewards will be delivered by postal mail within six to eight (6-8) weeks from receipt of order for shipment of a Reward. All physical Rewards will ship to the postal address associated with the Account. No responsibility is assumed by Sponsor for any mail or deliveries returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address. No responsibility is assumed by Sponsor for a Physical Reward after it has been shipped. Gift cards are only distributed pursuant to the Rewards Program and are subject to the terms of the issuer. The use of a gift card is subject to the terms and conditions set forth thereon which shall govern the use of the gift card. Use of a gift card constitutes the user’s acceptance of the terms and conditions; a user should read the terms and conditions on the gift card carefully. The gift card will not be redeemed or exchanged for cash, except where required by law. The gift card will not be replaced or replenished if lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed, or used without the recipient’s permission, and it will be voided if altered or defaced.
BLUSTATUS: bluStatus (“bluStatus”) unlocks exclusive Rewards to Participants. The bluStatus level is reached when a Participant accumulates a minimum of 2,000 Points. Upon achieving bluStatus, a Participant will unlock access to exclusive Rewards as listed on the Website. Limited quantities of bluStatus Rewards are available and are subject to change without notice. Once a Participant reaches bluStatus he/she will remain at this level. However, if a Participant’s Account is inactive for more than 180 days, all Points earned will expire and will be removed from the Participant’s Account.
