In addition, Points may be earned by completion of certain actions not requiring a purchase.

There are several ways a Member can earn Points (each a "Qualifying Activity"). Each Qualifying Activity is detailed below:

1. For Qualifying Purchases, Rewards Members will earn Points. Points are not earned on tax and shipping expenses, or on select products. If an order is cancelled, any Points earned for that purchase will be invalidated. Westcott reserves the right to invalidate Points earned on purchases that are subsequently returned. Westcott reserves the right to adjust the reward Points value on purchases at any time. No Points may be earned on qualifying product(s) purchased with Reward Gift Cards. Westcott will post earned Points to Your Account within 2 business days from shipment of a Qualifying Purchase made online.
2. Members can earn a one-time Point bonus when they join the Program and verify their email address. Email addresses associated with Accounts created using social media are automatically verified.
3. Members can earn a one-time Point bonus when they first opt-in to receive Westcott marketing emails.
4. Members can earn a Point bonus when they provide an approved and published Product Review for a qualifying product they have purchased, with an additional 50 Point bonus when they include at least one approved photo with their review. Earning Points for leaving a Product Review is limited to a total of fifteen (15) reviews per Member.
5. Members can earn a one-time Point bonus when they follow Westcott (@westcottlighting) on Instagram.
6. Members can also earn Points by sharing a link to the Westcott website on social channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Email.

7. Members will be awarded a Point bonus on their birthday when they provide their date of birth on their Account.
8. Members can earn Points for each referred new customer. The Member’s friend must meet the Eligibility requirements detailed above. If the Member’s friend is not an existing Westcott customer, Members will receive Points when the referred friend creates a Westcott Account and makes their first Qualifying Purchase on https://www.fjwestcott.com as provided in these Terms and Conditions. If the Member’s friend returns the Qualifying Purchase, the Member’s Points may be invalidated. These Points will be posted to the Member’s Account within two (2) business days after the referred friend creates an Account and their first Qualifying Purchase has shipped as provided in these Terms and Conditions.

For any Qualifying Activity, Westcott will attempt to credit Member Accounts with the corresponding number of Points on a timely basis, as detailed above. Members, however, have the responsibility of making sure that their Points are properly credited. Members are asked to please retain copies of their Qualifying Purchases and other Qualifying Activities for their records.

Any claim for Points not credited accurately must be received by us within thirty (30) days of the date of claimed accrual of such Points. Members will be able to check the number of Points accumulated in their Westcott Account by logging into the Westcott "My Account" page and viewing the Rewards dashboard from the Rewards Tab. Westcott may determine, in its sole discretion, to restrict the earning of Points with respect to certain products.

REDEEMING POINTS

Points may only be redeemed for value to be applied towards qualifying gift cards offered by Westcott online at https://www.fjwestcott.com. The maximum Reward Value, based on Member’s accrued Points, will be displayed in the Rewards Tab. Members must accumulate at set number of Points before being eligible to redeem Points. Members may redeem Points for the corresponding Reward Value amount, as detailed on the Westcott Rewards web page.

Once Points are posted to a Member’s Account, the Member’s available Reward Value will appear in the Rewards Tab. Members may then elect to apply the Reward Value to redeem a gift card and apply to a future purchase. The system will calculate and display the Member’s remaining Points after Reward Value is redeemed. Points may not be applied to prior purchases. Except where required by law or provided for in these Terms & Conditions, Points have no cash value and no exchange rate for any market currency and are not your property.  Other restrictions may apply.

EXPIRATION OF REWARD POINTS

All Points and any correspondent Reward Value in a Member’s Account shall expire if no Qualifying Purchase is made through a Member’s Account for a period of one (1) year from the date of last purchase.  Westcott reserves the right to extend the expiration date, in its own discretion, on an individual Member basis.
