By participating in the Program, you agree to these Program Terms. Void where prohibited by law.
1. General Information; Definitions; Changes. The Program is a customer-reward program that allows eligible Catherines customers (see Section 2 below for full eligibility details) who sign up for a Program Account ("Members") to earn points ("Points") on the dollars spent on qualifying purchases and for other specified activities. When you have earned the requisite amount of Points, those Points will be converted into Catherines Rewards Certificate valid on purchases across the FullBeauty Brands websites, as further described in Section 5 below (collectively, the "Rewards"). At the moment, we are not support new memberships, but this may change in the future.
2. Eligibility & Registration. The Program is open only to legal residents of any one (1) of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia who are the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. You must provide us with all required information to register for a Program Account. A valid email address is required to set up a Program Account. Additional information, such as your birth month and day, will be required to receive some of the Program’s benefits. There is no cost to enroll and no purchase is necessary to enroll. When you enroll in the Program and create a Program Account, you are agreeing to receive Catherines email messages related to the Catherines Rewards Program. Members who have opted-out of receiving Catherines marketing emails Catherines will still be able to participate in the Program and receive messages about their Program Account (e.g., receiving Rewards, Points balance, usage, and news about changes to these Program Terms). There is a limit of one (1) Program Account per individual/email address/. To update your email address and phone number you can call our Customer Service team at 800-489-3616. You agree that you will not participate in the Program under more than one (1) Program Account. Corporations, groups, and associations are not eligible to register for a Program Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Program Terms, we reserve the right to approve, deny or revoke membership in the Program to any individual at any time for any reason whatsoever. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities related to your participation in the Program and all activities that occur within your Program Account and/or using your Program Account credentials (e.g., password). You agree you will not sell, transfer, share or assign any Program membership rights or credentials. The Program Account, and Points and Rewards are not your personal property, are not descendible, and may not be inherited, bartered, purchased, or sold. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and, for online users, for restricting access to your computer (or other device, as applicable) so that others may not access your Program Account.
3. Points and Rewards. The Program involves two important measurements: (1) Points and (2) Rewards. Points are earned when Members engage in one the following: (a) making qualifying purchases of merchandise from any FullBeauty Brands website or placing an order of merchandise through FullBeauty Brands’ call center in the United States (each an "Earning Purchase"); or (b) participating in other specific Member opportunities offered by FullBeauty Brands from time-to-time ("Additional Earning Activities"). Together, these are defined as “Earning Activities”. The details of an Additional Earning Activity, including a description of the conduct required, the number of Points available and any additional terms will be as communicated to the eligible Member(s) by email or in another communication from FullBeauty Brands. We may offer additional Points and benefits for Catherines Platinum Credit Card account holders who use such credit cards for Earning Activities. To remain eligible for such additional Points and benefits, your Catherines Platinum Credit Card account must be in in Good Standing with the Bank. “Good Standing” related to your Catherines Platinum Credit Card account means (1) your credit card account with the Bank is open to new charges and not over your credit limit, (2) your credit card account with the Bank is not more than 60 days past due or otherwise in default, (3) your credit card with the Bank is not flagged as lost, stolen, or fraudulent according to the Bank’s records, (4) your credit card account with the Bank is not in a hardship or workout program, and (5) you are not subject to a credit counseling arrangement relating to your credit card account with the Bank.
Bonus Points
From time to time, we may make special offers to you to earn additional points referred to as “Bonus Points”. Bonus Points promotions are subject to the terms and conditions of the offer. Read each offer carefully for applicable limitations or exclusions. Bonus Points offers may not be combined with any other offer. Your purchase must be completed and the transaction posted to your Catherines Platinum Credit Card account during the special offer period. Please be aware that your Catherines Platinum Credit Card account may not be charged until your order has shipped. Making a return in the same transaction as your purchase during special offer periods may result in earning fewer Bonus Points. Tax and shipping charges are excluded from specials offers.
Earning Purchase: Earning purchases, when placing an order not using the Catherines Platinum Credit Card are limited to Catherines branded merchandise purchased on Catherines.com, through the call center, or on any Fullbeauty website. All other merchandise is excluded.
Earning Purchase when using the Catherines Platinum Credit Card: Earning purchases include all merchandise purchased on Catherines.com, through the call center, or on any Fullbeauty website. Must use the Catherines Platinum Card as a payment method.
Earning Activities only count towards the earning of Points once you have a valid Program Account. In order to earn Points for an Earning Purchase on Catherines.com, you must be signed into your Online Account upon checkout using the email address you registered for the program. In order to earn Points on an Earning Purchase through the FullBeauty Brands call center, you use email address associated with your Program Account on your order. Members do not earn Points on purchases of a gift card but do earn Points upon redemption of a gift card. Points are not accrued previous purchases, gifts-with-purchase, giveaways, coupons, credit card payments, purchase or renewal of Catherines Perks memberships, processing charges, delivery surcharges, shipping and handling, taxes, or state fees and any other applicable governmental fees, and are calculated after deduction of any discounts. Points may not be retroactively applied to purchases made without presenting the required information at time of purchase. Points are also not earned on unauthorized or fraudulent charges or purchases made by, or for, a business/group or for a business purpose. Use of a Reward or store credit does not earn Points.
Points for Earning Purchases through FullBeauty Brands’ websites or call center qualify for Points as items ship, which means that items in the same transaction that are shipped separately will qualify for Points as each ships and such Points will appear in your Program Account approximately thirty (30) days of the last item(s) shipped. The timing of Point qualification for Additional Earning Activities may vary,but will appear in your Program Account within approximately thirty (30) days of your completion of an Additional Earning Activity. You may view your Program Account summary activity by logging-into your account at Catherines.com and going to the Program Account area.
After your Points are automatically converted to Rewards, those Points will be removed and the corresponding Rewards will be sent to you via email, and accessible on your Program Account online (or by other means in our sole discretion), approximately 30 days after the conversion. If you earn multiple Rewards at a time, they will be combined and included within one (1) email/certificate. Rewards will be issued with unique promo codes that can be used online or through our call center, as described in Section 5 below (each, a "Reward Coupon Code"). Each Reward Coupon Code may be used once by the Program Account holder.
Points will be converted on a "first in, first out" basis, such that the first Points earned will be the first Points converted to a Reward. Once converted, your Points balance will be reduced by the number of Points used to obtain the Reward(s). In the event a return, refund, or credit adjustment results in insufficient Points for the Rewards converted, the conversion may not be fulfilled. If the Reward is fulfilled and we later discover that you did not have sufficient Points for the Rewards in your Points balance, in addition to any other actions we may take, future Points earnings will be applied to the Rewards until such time as sufficient Points are earned to cover the redemption of the Rewards. Points will not be converted into Rewards until you again have a positive balance. Points you earn may not be combined with Points earned by anyone else for purposes of receiving Rewards, or any other purposes. Points earned have no cash value, and cannot be purchased, sold, bartered or redeemed for cash, unless required by applicable law. If Points earned are determined to be unauthorized or fraudulent, you will not earn a Reward for those Points.
The following types of transactions are not considered a purchase and will not earn Points: interest and any account fees.
See Exhibit A for current information regarding benefits, how Points are calculated, how many Points must be accrued to earn a Reward, and the value of a Reward (collectively, "Program Details"). We may change the manner in which Points are calculated, how many Points must be accrued to earn a Reward, and the value of a Reward at any time.
4. Point Expiration and Forfeiture. Points not converted will be carried over to the following statement period. However, Points will expire 12 months after the date that they are earned. Once Points expire, they will not be converted to Rewards. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, you will also forfeit your unused and unexpired Points if you violate or attempt to violate the prohibitions on the transfer of Points or Rewards, if you file for bankruptcy, or if you breach these Program Terms. You will not be entitled to and will not receive any compensation from us for your Points that expire or are forfeited.
5. Rewards. Except where required by applicable law, Rewards and Points have no monetary or cash value and may not be redeemed for cash or, except under the Program, any cash equivalent and may not be used for payment on your Catherines Platinum Rewards Credit Card. Rewards expire as disclosed on each individual Reward and will be valid for a minimum of 30 days. Separate Awards expire as disclosed at the time we send notification of the Separate Award. A Reward may be applied to an "Authorized Purchase" which is defined as purchases of FullBeauty Brands merchandise on any FullBeauty Brands website for orders shipped to addresses in the United States, and through the FullBeauty Brands call center for orders shipped to addresses in the United States, as long as the Program Account is in good standing, and the Reward has not expired; except that a Reward may not be applied to purchase of gift cards, purchase or renewal of Catherines Perks memberships, or credit card payments, retroactively in connection with any prior purchases or orders, coupons, processing charges, delivery surcharges, shipping and handling, taxes, or state fees and any other applicable governmental fees. Rewards will be redeemed in United States dollars. Each Reward must be used in one purchase. Any remaining unused amount of a redeemed Reward will be forfeited (and no change will be given). Likewise, the Member using a Reward is responsible for all charges in excess of the value of the Reward.
The Reward will be in addition to other promotional credits or discounts offered at the time of purchase, including those related to the Catherines Perks Program (see https://www.catherines.com/help-page?cid=ca-custserv-perks for the Catherines Perks Program Terms and Conditions) (collectively, "Other Rewards"), unless otherwise stated in the Other Rewards. The Reward will be applied after all Other Rewards are applied to the Authorized Purchase, unless otherwise stated in the Other Rewards. FullBeauty Brands reserves the right to require the person using a Reward to show proof that they are the person associated with the Reward.
o Online: To use a Reward when making an Authorized Purchase on any of the FullBeauty Brands websites, you must select from at least one (1) of the available Rewards to be applied to the order and enter the Rewards Certificate number in the “Rewards” section at checkout
o Call Center: To use a Reward when making an Authorized Purchase through FullBeauty Brands’s call center, you must provide the call center agent with the email address and phone number associated with your Program Account and tell the agent the Reward Certificate number that you would like to use.
FullBeauty Brands may choose, at FullBeauty Brands’s sole discretion, to offer separate and additional rewards to specific customers ("Separate Awards"). The terms and conditions for Separate Awards (such as where these Separate Awards may be redeemed), if any, will be disclosed at the time we send notification of the Separate Awards.

IF AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS REQUIRED, THEN IT WILL TAKE PLACE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, BUT ONLY IF JAMS RULES SO REQUIRE. THE FEDERAL OR STATE LAW THAT APPLIES TO THESE PROGRAM TERMS WILL ALSO APPLY DURING THE ARBITRATION. DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WILL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDINGS THAT INVOLVE ANY CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSY OF ANOTHER PARTY, INCLUDING ANY CLASS ACTIONS OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR HOLDS THAT THIS RESTRICTION IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DOES NOT APPLY AND THE DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

*Points are calculated based on the purchase price of any goods and/or services made at the time of purchase, after discounts and coupons and before taxes and fees are applied. Does not include purchases made prior to your participation in the Program. Points may not be awarded retroactively; so even if you are a Program Member, you must associate your Program Account at the time of purchase. If you return a purchase for which you earned Points in accordance with the FullBeauty Brands current return policy, the Points associated with your Program Account may be reduced by the number of Points equivalent to the amount of the refund you receive. In the event of an even exchange, any Points earned in association with the original purchase will remain. In the event of an exchange of an item of lesser value, the difference in value from your original purchase will be deducted from your Program Account. Such deductions may result in a negative Points balance, in which case, any Points you earn will be applied to reduce that balance and your Points will not be converted until you again have a positive balance. In the event of an exchange for an item of greater value, any additional expenditure will accrue Points in accordance with these terms. Any new promotional offers in effect at the time of an exchange, will not apply, nor modify your Program Account balance. Points will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar amount of each qualifying purchase (ex: a qualifying purchase of $5.61 made as a Classic Member without use of a Store Credit Card will earn fifty (50) points). We may from time to time make special offers for you to earn additional Points on specific purchases. The terms and conditions for such special offers (such as which purchases qualify and the number of additional Points you may earn), if any, will be disclosed at the time of the offer. Please check those terms and conditions carefully, as there may be important conditions or limitations (such as blackout periods, point limitations or exclusions). In addition, we may offer Additional Earning Activities to earn Points as described in Section 3 of the Program Terms. We reserve the right to verify and adjust Points at any time prior to or following posting or redemption.
