Estée E-List Loyalty Program:
Terms and Conditions of Participation

The Estée E-List US Loyalty Program (“Program”) is offered at the sole discretion of Estée Lauder Inc. (“Estée Lauder,” “we,” “our” or “us”).  The Program is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual.  Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program.  Individuals who are legal residents of the United States (including its territories and possessions) and at least 18 years or older and who provide and maintain a valid email address are eligible to become members.  No purchase is necessary to join the Program. The Program 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 Program.

By joining the Program and becoming a Program member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Program 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 Program 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 Program, 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 Program.  The Program is void where prohibited by law.

Eligible individuals may enroll in the Program by visiting www.esteelauder.com (collectively, the “Site”) and following the Program prompts to register for the Program.

You are required to provide your email address in order to enroll in the Program.  You will also need to create an account by providing your name and creating a password in order to access certain Program benefits and rewards.  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. Although providing your birthday is not required in order to participate in the Program, in order to receive the birthday reward set forth in Section 4 (Program Benefits and Rewards) below, you must provide your birthday (day and month only) in your Account.

Only one Program account may be associated with a single email address.  In the event of a dispute over ownership of the Program 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.

The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and for participating in certain brand experiences on the Site.  You are able to earn points and reach Program loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Program 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 Program 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 Program loyalty tiers.

The Program is a tier-based program 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:

Level 1, Be Excited	0-249 points
Level 2, Be Enthusiastic	250-649 points
Level 3, Be Envied	650 + points

When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Level 1, Be Excited and be eligible for all the benefits Level 1 members receive. Once you earn at least 250 points in your first year, you’ll be automatically moved up to Level 2, Be Enthusiastic. If you earn 650 points or more in your first year, you’ll qualify for Level 3, Be Envied.

Your status in a particular tier is good 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 Level 2, Be Enthusiastic, during your first year, you’ll maintain Be Enthusiastic status during your second year. But, if you earn less than 250 points on eligible purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Level 1, Be Excited status on your second anniversary date.

For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program within 30 days of the date of purchase and either (1) be signed into your online account at the time of purchase; or (2) provide your Program member identification (that is, the email address you registered under the Program) when purchasing on the Site. However, if your membership in the Program is terminated for any reason and you enroll in a new Program account, any purchases made prior to the date you enroll in a new Program account do not qualify for points.

Members will not receive points or benefits from purchases made at airport store locations or from purchases made at non-qualifying retailers. Purchases made in retail stores are not eligible for the Program.

Points are valid for one year from your Program "anniversary date." This is the anniversary of the date you enrolled in the Program 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.

By enrolling in the Program, you will be automatically subscribed to receive and you consent to receive Estee Lauder marketing emails, including Program-related communications.

You may opt-out of receiving marketing emails or Program-related emails at any time by following the instructions provided in the email and as otherwise provided in the Estee Lauder Privacy Policy. If you opt-out of Program-related emails, you will no longer receive emails regarding your Program status or the Program rewards or benefits that may be available to you.

The Program and its benefits are offered at our sole discretion.  We may, in our discretion, cancel, modify, restrict or terminate these Terms, our FAQs and/or the Program or any aspect or feature of the Program at any time without prior notice, even though such changes may affect the value of rewards or benefits already accumulated or earned and/or the ability to redeem accumulated rewards or benefits.

We reserve the right to exclude you from or to discontinue your participation in the Program and to audit your membership account at any time, in our sole discretion.  To keep your account active you must log in to your Program account and make a purchase within 24 months. Any suspected abuse of the Program, failure to follow any Terms, membership inactivity for more than 24 months, illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation or other conduct inconsistent with these Terms and/or detrimental to us or our interests, including without limitation, any suspected illegal, fraudulent other unauthorized use of any Program rewards, points, cards, credits, vouchers, coupons and/or certificates, may result in the revocation of your membership and make you ineligible for further participation in the Program.  If your membership is revoked, any rewards or benefits in your account will automatically expire and your access to the Program and features will automatically terminate. If we suspect illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or violation of these Terms, we also have the right to take appropriate legal action, in our sole discretion.

If you decide you no longer want to be a part of the Program, you may cancel your membership at any time by opting-out of the Program in your account on the Site. If you cancel your membership, you will lose all accumulated points, benefits and tier status.
