PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY, AS THIS CONSTITUTES A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY. BY ACCESSING OR PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAMME, THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE/SHE HAS READ, UNDERSTANDS, AND CONSENTS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH IS INCORPORATED INTO, AND MADE A PART OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. CUSTOMERS MUST NOT ACCESS OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAMME IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1.2 FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS ONLY: These Terms and Conditions include an agreement to mandatory arbitration, which means that Customers agree to submit most disputes related to the Programme, this Site, the use of our services, or these Terms and Conditions to binding arbitration rather than proceeding in court. Customers may opt-out of this mandatory arbitration agreement only by following the procedures below (Section 11). These terms also include a waiver of any class action or jury trial.
1.3 The Programme is an international initiative relating to the purchases made online at https://www.cpcompany.com (the 'Site') in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy (including the territory of San Marino and the Vatican City), and the United States (the 'Territory').

1.5 The above-referenced Birthday Gift shall consist of a discount code, valid on a single purchase through the Site, to be received by the customer approximately seven (7) days prior to the Customer's birthday. The code will remain valid for a period of 6 months after such receipt, or until it is used by the Customer, whichever is sooner. Please note that:

3.6 The points balance, as well as the respective levels, will be updated following any and all purchases made. Specifically, the points balance is made up of two separate entries, as follows:
1. the account balance, meaning the total balance of points accrued and accruable on the basis of the last purchase made. Accumulated points accrue, and become available, thirty (30) days following each qualifying purchase. In the event qualifying products are returned to the Company, all points accrued in connection with the purchase of such product(s) will be deducted from the account balance and will not become available, or count toward the Customer’s accrual of benefits under the Programme. The return of an item(s) will therefore result in the deduction of the points previously earned for the purchase of such item(s);
2. the available balance, meaning the balance of points that the Customer may use, in full, in order to benefit from the rewards under this Programme.
3.7 Your balance can be checked at any time in your account. Please note that:
ꟷ It is not possible to accrue points for purchases made before registering in the Programme;
ꟷ The amount of shipping costs for online purchases will not grant any point accrual;
ꟷ Any points accrued by the same Customer with different identification profiles, even if they belong to the same person, cannot be added together.
3.8 To obtain points, the Customers must log in to their personal account before making any purchases. Any purchases made on the Site as a guest (i.e., without any registration as a Member) will not entitle you to the accrual of points or the ability to take advantage of the benefits applicable to the relevant membership level.
3.9 The Programme shall have an indefinite duration except for any revocation or cancellation that will be duly communicated in the forms required by the applicable regulations.
3.10 Joining the Programme will also allow customers to participate in all initiatives and/or prize events and promotions that the Company reserves the right to launch during the Programme.

4.1 The Customer has the right to exercise its right to withdraw from these Terms and Conditions at any time, without incurring any costs, by contacting the customer service at customerservice@cpcompany.com.
