  1. Membership Eligibility and Overview
    1. The Estée E-List Loyalty Programme (“Programme”) is offered at the sole discretion of Estee Lauder Companies (PTY) Ltd. (“Estee Lauder,” “we,” “our” or “us”). The Programme is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual. Companies, close corporations, trusts, associations or other juristic entities may not participate in the Programme. Individuals who are legal residents of South Africa and at least eighteen (18) years of age and who provide and maintain a valid email address are eligible to become members. No purchase is necessary to join the Programme. The Programme may not be used for any business or commercial purpose and we may refuse to create an account for any reason. Employees and individuals employed by our business partners or vendors are eligible for membership for personal use only but may be excluded from certain benefits of the Programme.
    2. By joining the Programme and becoming a Programme member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Programme Terms and Conditions of Participation (“Terms”) and by any changes or modifications we may make. You should review these Terms and the related policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Programme as they may change from time to time. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services. By enrolling in the Programme, you also agree to be bound by our website Privacy Policy and our website Terms and Conditions , which are incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, our website Privacy Policy, and our website Terms and Conditions, you cannot participate in the Programme. The Programme is void where prohibited by law.
  2. Programme Enrollment
    1. Eligible individuals may enroll in the Programme by visiting https://www.esteelauder.co.za/ (collectively, the “Site”) and following the Programme prompts to register for the Programme.
    2. You are required to provide your email address in order to enroll in the Programme. You will also need to create an account by providing your name and creating a password in order to access certain Programme benefits and rewards. It is optional to provide your birth date and your telephone number. You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your account information and for updating it as required. You may update your personal information on the Site.
    3. Only one Programme account may be associated with a single email address. In the event of a dispute over ownership of the Programme membership account, the Member will be deemed to be the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of enrollment. For purposes of these Terms, the "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to the submitted email address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
  3. How the Programme Works
    1. The Programme is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and/or taking other Programme related actions. You are able to earn points and reach Programme loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Programme actions. Once you earn points and reach a certain loyalty tier, you may be eligible for certain benefits and rewards applicable to that tier, which benefits may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to earn points and reach Programme loyalty tiers will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in marketing communications, social media, etc.). Visit our FAQs to learn more about earning points and reaching the Programme loyalty tiers.
    2. The Programme is a tier-based Programme determined by the number of points a Member has earned within a single year on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date when you enroll. There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:
      • Tier 1, Be Excited 0 – 2999 points
      • Tier 2, Be Enthusiastic 3000 – 7499 points
      • Tier 3, Be Envied7500 + points

      When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Tier 1, Be Excited and be eligible for all the benefits Tier 1 Members receive. Once you earn 3000 points, you’ll be automatically moved up to Tier 2, Be Enthusiastic. If you earn 7500 points or more, you’ll qualify for Tier 3, Be Envied.

      Your status in a particular tier is valid for the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to earn enough points to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Be Enthusiastic, during your first year, you’ll maintain Be Enthusiastic status during your second year. But, if you earn fewer than 3000 points on eligible purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Be Excited status on your second anniversary date.

    3. FFor your purchase to qualify for the Programme, you must be enrolled in the Programme and be signed into your online account at the time of purchase. If your membership in the Programme is terminated for any reason and you enroll in a new Programme account, any purchases made prior to the date you enroll in a new Programme account do not qualify for points.
      1.   Members receive 1 point for every 1 Rand (1) spent on qualifying purchases on the Site. Purchases made in department stores, specialty stores, airport stores and retail stores are not eligible for the Programme. Qualifying purchases include regular priced merchandise, services, and applicable taxes fees, and exclude shipping and delivery charges or other excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time. E-gifts cards do not qualify as eligible purchase to earn points. All points earned from purchases on the Site are pending until your order ships, at which point they are fully matured and capable of redemption.
      2.   In addition to these purchases, you may also earn additional points for actions on the Site from time to time. To earn these points, you must be a Programme Member and logged into your account before completing the actions. The number of points, if any, awarded for each action is determined by Estée Lauder in its sole discretion and in all cases subject to a maximum number of points earned for each action per year.
    4. Points are valid for one year from your Programme “anniversary date.” This is the anniversary of the date you enrolled in the Programme and occurs on a 12-month cycle. On your anniversary date each year, your points reset to zero and you start accumulating new points benefits and unlocking new rewards.
  4. Programme Rewards and Benefits
    1. As a Member, you earn points that determine your points benefits plus tier levels and tier benefits. To redeem offers and rewards, you must have accumulated the minimum number of points as established by us for a particular benefit. Rewards can only be redeemed on the Site unless otherwise specified by Estée Lauder. Points may never be exchanged for cash. You must be logged into your Programme account to use your benefits. You will find your eligible offers and rewards (with offer codes if applicable) listed in your personal account. Qualifying Members will receive email invitations when event rewards are available if they have not opted-out of receiving Programme emails.
      1. Points Benefits: Points Benefits: At different point levels you will unlock rewards that can be redeemed on the Site. These rewards are based on the number of points you have accumulated in a single year as listed below and are valid for one time redemption per year. You must redeem your unlocked rewards prior to your anniversary date, or the available rewards will expire. On your anniversary date, your points reset to zero and you start accumulating new points and unlocking new rewards. You may only redeem one points benefit reward at a time. Points benefits cannot be combined with other Site-wide promotional offers (e.g., other discounts, free sample offers, gift with purchase, delivery fees, free product offers, etc.).
        • Free mini product of your choice within 3 options (valid with an online purchase after earning 1500 points in Tier 1 and available once per anniversary year).
