The AMBIENTEDIRECT STYLECLUB (hereafter "SC") is operated under these terms and conditions of participation by Ambiente Direct GmbH, Hofmannstraße 51 B, 80379 Munich ("AMBIENTEDIRECT"). Any natural person who has reached the age of 18 can participate. Participation is free of charge. If you have registered for the SC, you can utilise all of the advantages for your status in the SC upon the confirmation of the registration by email.
As a participant of the SC, you can collect points in the online shop of AMBIENTEDIRECT. These points are recorded in the AMBIENTEDIRECT customer account - which is created for the participant, if not already available. The participant receives one point per € 1 turnover (receipt total excluding shipping costs, less granted discounts, other bonuses and subsidies). Started Euro sales are rounded up or down commercially (e.g. € 1.49 = 1 point, € 1.50 = 2 points). Credited points are reduced, used points are posted back if the purchase with which they were acquired or used is fully or partly reversed (e.g. right of revocation for online orders or other returns). In the online shop, the points are automatically allocated if the participant is logged into his personal customer account when the order is sent.
The points can be redeemed at AMBIENTEDIRECT. For each point collected, the participant receives a credit of three cents (1 point = 3 cents) for Silver status, five cents (1 point = 5 cents) for Gold status, and seven cents (1 point = 7 cents) for VIP status. The crediting of the points can last up to 6 weeks after the conclusion of the contract. The account balance can be viewed at any time in the online customer account or in the SC overview page. Cash payment or offsetting against purchases already made is not possible. Points accumulated expire if no more points have been collected over a period of 365 days since the last point collected. Also see points 4 and 5.
Vouchers obtained within the scope of the SC can only be redeemed after confirmation of registration by email. Points earned within the scope of the SC will be credited to the account again if the purchase for which they were used is cancelled in whole or in part (e.g. right of revocation for online orders or other returns). Vouchers are not transferable and no cash payment will be made. Other vouchers obtained within the scope of the SC expire within the respective times stated, but at the latest after 12 months.
The turnover, which forms the basis for awarding points at AMBIENTEDIRECT, also has a function for achieving a certain advantage status. From an annual turnover of € 2,500, you are a Gold member and receive special benefits, which can be temporary and can change. From an annual turnover of € 5,000, you are a VIP member and receive special advantages, which can also be limited in time and can change. You can find out the current advantages in the SC. To calculate the status, only those sales (receipt total excluding shipping costs, minus granted discounts, bonuses and subsidies) are taken into account which were collected at AMBIENTEDIRECT in the last 365 days. However, sales collected in the online shop are taken into account for status determination up to 30 days after crediting due to possible reversals/returns. Once the participant has reached a status, it will remain for 1 year (with continued participation). The free shipping order in the online shop and the free home delivery are only valid for the VIP status.
Participants may terminate their participation in the AMBIENTEDIRECT SC at any time without notice by notifying info@ambientedirect.com or in writing to AMBIENTEDIRECT (also see item 9 on the termination effect in the event of an objection to data use). Points not yet redeemed, status advantages and credits on the customer account resulting from advertising measures expire in this case without replacement. AMBIENTEDIRECT may terminate the contract with individual participants at any time by giving two weeks' notice. An extraordinary termination for good cause remains possible at any time without observing a period of notice. AMBIENTEDIRECT also reserves the right to terminate the SC in its entirety and/or replace it with another program at any time and within a reasonable time without giving reasons. Upon termination of the SC or termination by AMBIENTEDIRECT, the accumulated points may be used for point actions for a maximum of 3 months from termination. AMBIENTEDIRECT accepts no liability for any misuse, unless AMBIENTEDIRECT is responsible for it.
AMBIENTEDIRECT reserves the right to amend the General Conditions of Participation at any time with effect for the future, in particular to improve processing, extend customer benefits or prevent misuse. The participant shall receive a message in text form about any changes. If the participant does not object in writing to AMBIENTEDIRECT within one month, the changes shall be deemed approved. Approval shall also be deemed to have been given if the participant has new points credited to him/her after receipt of the changed conditions. The participant will be informed of this separately in the notification of change. In the event of objection, participation in the SC will be terminated and the consequences of termination by the participant shall enter into force.
