 Membership and Eligibility

The OUAI Loyalty (“Loyalty Program”) is a rewards program offered by us to United States based customers. Membership to the Loyalty Program ("Membership") is limited to individuals only and is limited to one account per individual. Our employees are eligible for Membership. You must be age 18 years or older and a legal resident of the United States to be eligible for Membership.

By submitting an application for Membership in the Loyalty Program, you agree to be bound by these Loyalty Program terms and conditions. NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO BECOME A MEMBER. The Loyalty Program is void where prohibited by law.

 Earning and Redeeming Loyalty Program Rewards

Under the Loyalty Program, you earn one point (“point”) for every U.S. dollar spent (as applicable based on country of purchase) on merchandise purchased at www.theouai.com. You may also earn points for other activities as outlined here.

Subject to Section 14 (Termination) of these Terms of Service, points will expire if there is no activity on your account in twelve calendar months . Points may be redeemed for rewards (“Rewards”) to be determined by us in our sole discretion; provided, however, that in order to redeem your points for any Reward, you must (1) accumulate a minimum number of points as established by us, and (2) make an additional purchase of merchandise from us at the time that you redeem your points. Loyalty Program members are able to redeem no more than one of each Reward per transaction. Loyalty Program members cannot redeem more than ten of any one unique Reward sku per year. Points have no cash value and can only be redeemed for Rewards. We may, in our discretion, allow points to be redeemable for other items of merchandise from time to time. However, points are never redeemable for cash.

Rewards are available with point redemption while supplies last. You are not required to redeem Rewards during checkout. Due to the limited nature of the Rewards, we may be unable to replace certain items if they arrive damaged, if you received the wrong Reward or if a Reward is missing from your order. In the event Rewards arrive damaged, you received the wrong Reward, or a Reward is missing from your order, please contact customer service. Otherwise, Rewards may not be returned or exchanged. Rewards are shipped with merchandise purchases ONLY.

 Reward Tiers

Reward Tiers are determined exclusively by spending. As you ascend the tiers, you will be able to redeem the points you have earned from your actions for a wider array of Rewards.

Tier status is conferred on those registered OUAI members who meet the requisite conditions during one consecutive calendar year (January-December). Tier status is valid for the calendar year in which the OUAI member qualifies and the following full calendar year; after that, annual requalification is required. We may, in our sole discretion, alter, limit, or modify the Rewards under the Loyalty Program and Reward Tiers rules, regulations, benefits, eligibility for membership, or any other feature of the Loyalty Program or may terminate the Loyalty Program at any time in our sole discretion, without prior notice.
