8. La Familia ONTE Loyalty Program
8.1 La Familia ONTE (the “Program”) is ONTE’s free loyalty program for customers who shop at onte.com.au. By joining or taking part in the Program, you (a “Member”) agree to this clause 8 and the rest of these Terms. If there is any inconsistency, this clause 8 applies to the extent it relates to the Program. No purchase is required to join.
Eligibility and joining
8.2 The Program is open to individuals in Australia and internationally who meet the requirements in clause 2. Each person may hold one membership only.
8.3 Memberships are for personal use. Businesses, resellers, stylists purchasing for clients, corporate accounts and ONTE wholesale accounts are not eligible unless we agree otherwise in writing.
8.4 ONTE employees and contractors may join, may only receive staff benefits while engaged by ONTE.
8.5 You join by creating an account at onte.com.au. You must give accurate, current details and keep them up to date through your account.
8.6 We may decline or cancel an enrolment that is incomplete, duplicated or appears to be made in breach of these Terms.
Tiers and tier status
8.7 Your tier is based on your lifetime Eligible Spend (clauses 8.12 to 8.16), recorded against the email address on your account.
8.8 All Members start at the tier that corresponds to their lifetime spend on the date they join. Purchases made under a different email address cannot be added, and accounts cannot be merged.
8.9 The current tiers are:
|
TIER |
LIFETIME SPEND |
|---|---|
|
1 |
0 – $999.00 AUD |
|
2 |
$1,000.00 - $2,999.00 AUD |
|
3 |
$3,000.00 - $5,999.00 AUD |
|
4 |
$6,000.00+ |
8.10 You move up a tier as soon as you reach its threshold.
8.11 The benefits for each tier are listed at onte.com.au/pages/la-familia and may be updated under clauses 8.34 to 8.36.
Eligible Spend
8.12 “Eligible Spend” is the amount you pay for ONTE merchandise at onte.com.au using the email address on your account (including purchases made before you joined), after discounts and promotions are applied and excluding shipping, customs, import duties and gift wrapping.
8.13 Buying a gift card counts toward the purchaser’s Eligible Spend. Paying with a gift card or store credit does not count, so the same spend is not counted twice.
8.14 Purchases do not count toward Eligible Spend if they are made:
- through a third-party retailer or marketplace, including The Iconic, David Jones or any other stockist;
- at a sample sale, warehouse sale or other event we say is excluded;
- on a wholesale or trade account.
8.15 We may exclude other products or promotions from Eligible Spend, and will say so at the time they are offered.
8.16 Eligible Spend is counted in your account at the time of dispatch.
Member benefits
8.17 Benefits depend on your tier and are listed on our Program page. Unless stated otherwise, a benefit: must be used while signed in to your account; is for single use; cannot be combined with any other discount, code or promotion (including our welcome discount or a price match under clause 4); and is subject to stock availability.
8.18 Birthday reward. Members receive a birthday reward once each year, $30.00 AUD for Tier 1, $50.00 AUD for Tier 2, $100.00 AUD for Tier 3. Your date of birth must be saved in your account at least 30 days before your birthday. The reward is issued during your birthday week, is valid for 14 days and applies to full-price items only.
8.19 Early access and member events. We may give some tiers early access to new collections, sales or events. Early access runs for the window we announce or while stock lasts, and normal dispatch times may not apply. Any specific return conditions for an early access release will be stated when it is offered.
8.20 Member offers. We may make other offers to some or all Members from time to time. Each offer may have its own conditions, which will be published with it and apply alongside these Terms.
Returns and adjustments
8.21 Returns are handled under our Returns & Refunds Policy. When an item is returned for a refund, the Eligible Spend for that item is deducted from your account. Exchanges and returns for store credit do not reduce your Eligible Spend.
8.22 If a deduction takes your Eligible Spend below your tier’s threshold, your tier will be adjusted to match.
8.23 If an order placed with a Program benefit is refunded, the benefit is not reissued unless we decide otherwise.
8.24 We may correct your Eligible Spend, tier or benefits if they were applied in error.
No transfer and no cash value
8.25 Membership, tier status and benefits are personal to you. They cannot be sold, transferred, shared, assigned or combined with another account.
8.26 Benefits have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, except where the law requires it.
Communications and privacy
8.27 We will contact you by email and SMS, under clause 7 about your membership, including your tier, benefits you are eligible for and changes to the Program. These are service messages and are sent even if you have opted out of marketing.
8.28 If you opt in, we will also send you marketing about new collections, member offers and events. You can unsubscribe at any time. Some benefits, such as early access, are announced by marketing email, so opting out may mean you miss them.
8.29 A current email address is needed to receive benefits. We are not responsible for benefits missed because your details are out of date.
8.30 We use your personal information, including your purchase history and date of birth, to run the Program, as set out in clause 6 and our Privacy Policy.
Suspension and cancellation
8.31 We may suspend or cancel a membership, or remove benefits, if we reasonably believe the Member has acted fraudulently, misused the Program, bought for resale, held multiple accounts or seriously breached these Terms. Where appropriate, we will tell you why.
8.32 You can leave the Program at any time by emailing info@onte.com.au. Any unused benefits will end on cancellation.
8.33 We may close memberships with no purchase activity for 24 months.
Changes to the Program
8.34 Despite clause 18, we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email and on our Website of any change to the Program that materially reduces Members’ benefits, including changes to tiers, thresholds or benefits, or suspending or ending the Program. This does not apply where a change is needed to comply with the law or to prevent fraud.
8.35 If we end the Program, benefits already issued to you will remain valid until their stated expiry.
8.36 By continuing to take part after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Program terms. If you do not agree, you may leave the Program under clause 8.32.
Liability
8.37 To the extent permitted by law, ONTE is not liable for any loss arising from a benefit being unavailable, changed or delayed, or from technical issues affecting the Program. Nothing in this clause 8 limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
