C) CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION FOR THE NOW! PROGRAMME:

The NOW! Customer Bonus Programme (‘bonus programme’) is a loyalty programme for Juice Plus+ end customers who have purchased a NOW! packet. Participation in and use of the programme is subject to the following conditions:

1.1. The NOW! Programme gives participants the opportunity to collect rewards points and status points. An overview of the bonus programme can be found at: http://nowbyjuiceplus.com/.

1.2. Reward points (coins) and status points are available. Reward points can be redeemed against Juice Plus+ products and/or services.

1.3. Status points cannot be redeemed as coins nor exchanged for coins. The converse also applies.

1.4. Reward points and status points are linked to the individual and are therefore non-transferable.

2. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION:

2.1. Participants must be natural persons over the age of 18 resident in the European Economic Area. 

2.2. Participation in the NOW! Programme is subject to a fee. This is €12.00 / CHF 12.00 for 4 months.

To apply, participants should submit their full name, address, email address and date of birth. The data can be amended at any time at [email protected].

3.2. The coins credited can be redeemed against purchases of the goods and services offered. Juice Plus+ reserves the right to specify services such as travel or events unilaterally for a specific time period. Should services that have been selected subsequently be cancelled, the customer has no claim for compensation. 

3.3. In cases where the participant does not make regular use of the NOW! Programme, Juice Plus+ will delete the coins. Entitlement to coins is dependent on daily use of the NOW! Programme. If the participant terminates their use of the NOW! Programme, their coin account will be deleted. This will occur if the participant has not made use of the NOW! Programme for a period of two months or more. However, the status points will remain. A refund of the participation fee is excluded.

3.4. The reward points (coins) collected will lapse three years after they have been credited at the end of the quarter, if the participant has not redeemed them against a reward (Content 4me).

3.5. If the participant withdraws from a reward they have applied for or from the contract for purchasing a product offering participation in the NOW! Programme, the associated reward points and status points will be deleted.

3.6. Participants can reach different status levels with the bonus status points they collect. These levels carry special status benefits, and at each status level the participant receives different status benefits. An overview can be found at ‘NOW! Rewards’ on the website indicated in 1.1.

4.3. Juice Plus+ may terminate the programme by giving 12 months notice. During this termination period, participants may collect bonus reward points and bonus status points, and also redeem their coins. However, when the termination period ends, all remaining bonus reward points and bonus status points shall lapse.

4.4. Irrespective of the ordinary termination referred to, either contractual partner may give notice in writing of extraordinary termination for good cause (e.g., by email).

A good cause for termination exists, in particular, in the following cases:

  • serious breach of the conditions of participation in the bonus programme on the part of the participant
  • misuse or manipulation of the bonus programme
  • false statements knowingly made by the participant.

4.5. In the case of extraordinary termination by one of the contractual partners, the bonus reward points and bonus status points shall lapse when notice of termination is received. The fee (2.2) shall in this instance only be refunded on a pro-rata basis if the participant establishes a serious breach of contract by Juice Plus+.

4.6. Should the customer cancel or return the order of the NOW! packet pursuant to section 8, participation in the NOW! Programme will be automatically deleted.
