Earning STAX. Loyalty Points
- To earn Loyalty Points, you must provide your Membership Email to the salesperson prior to the completion of your Eligible Transaction at the point of sale or enter your Membership Email at checkout for online purchases.
- Loyalty Points will be earned at the completion of Eligible Transactions in STAX. stores and online in Australia and in other jurisdictions around the world (excluding the United State of America).
- For Eligible Transactions outside Australia, the Loyalty Points earned are fixed to the Australian price of the product in Australia (i.e. a non-Australian member will earn the number of Loyalty Points as if the product was purchased in Australia). For example:
  - an Australian customer that buys instore or places an order online for a product priced at AUD$100 will earn a total of 300 Loyalty Points;
  - a UK customer that places an order online for a product priced at GBP$50 online (but would be priced at AUD$100 online if purchased in Australia) will earn a total of 300 Loyalty Points.

For the removal of doubt, Loyalty Points are calculated based on the Australian price of the product which is being purchased outside Australia under the Eligible Transaction and not on Australian dollar amount of any conversion at the relevant currency exchange rate of the amount paid in foreign currency for the product.

in its sole discretion and without providing any notice to Members may limit the jurisdictions in which an Eligible Transaction will earn Loyalty Points.
Loyalty Points cannot be earned on the cost of shipping or delivery.
Bonus Loyalty Points may be earned during promotional periods or incentive days communicated from time to time.
Standard Loyalty Points are allocated to each Eligible Transaction and will be displayed or communicated at the time of purchase.
Loyalty Points incurred by each Eligible Transaction within 21 days of::
- transactions made in-store at STAX.;
- receiving confirmation that ‘your order is ready for delivery’ for STAX. online orders; or
- the end of a promotional offer period.
Loyalty Points can only be earned by individual Members for their own personal shopping. Loyalty Points cannot be earned on purchases of commercial quantities of goods or services, or any purchases which are for commercial or corporate purposes including the resale of goods, as determined by STAX in its absolute discretion. What will constitute a commercial quantity may depend on the type of product purchased.
may review and adjust the allocation of Loyalty Points at any time in its sole discretion. STAX. may deduct from your Membership any Loyalty Points that have been credited to your Membership in error or as a result of an error, as well as any Loyalty Points which relate to an Eligible Transaction which has been cancelled, reversed, or which relate to a refunded amount, or where STAX. reasonably believes that the purchase was for a commercial purpose or commercial in quantity.
Loyalty Points will expire to your Membership if they are not redeemed by you for either Loyalty Rewards or Benefits within that time period.

Redeeming STAX. Loyalty Points
- By becoming a Member and when redeeming Loyalty Points or claiming any Benefit or Loyalty Reward from the Program, you agree to be bound by and to comply with these Loyalty Terms (as amended from time to time) and you agree to provide the consents specified in clause 9 relating to personal information. You acknowledge and agree that Loyalty Points may only be earned and/or redeemed in accordance with these Loyalty Terms.
- Loyalty Points may be redeemed for Loyalty Rewards provided that in order to redeem your Loyalty Points for any Loyalty Reward, you must first:
  - accumulate the minimum number of Loyalty Points as determined by STAX. for each Loyalty Reward; and
  - the accumulated Loyalty Points are sufficient to pay for the full amount of the Loyalty Reward (i.e., you will not be able to purchase a Loyalty Reward with a combination of cash and Loyalty Points; the Loyalty Reward may only be purchased with your Loyalty Points).
- The number of Loyalty Points that must be redeemed in relation to a particular Benefit or Loyalty Reward are determined by STAX. We do not give any warranty or make any representation in relation to the underlying value of any Benefit or Loyalty Rewards.
- Members may order a combination of:
  - Loyalty Rewards (paid for solely in Loyalty Points); and
  - other products paid for in cash within the same transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt and in accordance with clause 4.2, you will not be able to purchase a Loyalty Reward with a combination of cash and Loyalty Points. The Loyalty Reward must wholly be purchased only with Loyalty Points.

The STAX. Returns & Refund Policy does not apply to any purchase made with Loyalty Points. Where a Member purchases a Loyalty Reward or Benefit with Loyalty Points then the item cannot be returned or exchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, Members that make a purchase with Loyalty Points will not be eligible for any refund of Loyalty Points used for the purchase or for a store credit in lieu of any refund.

Loyalty Points may not be redeemed for payment of shipping or delivery costs. For the avoidance of doubt, where Loyalty Points are redeemed by a Member to purchase items that require shipping or delivery, the cost of any such shipping or delivery must be paid in cash by the Member for the purchase to be completed.
Members must advise STAX. as soon as possible after they become aware of any unusual activity on their Membership Account, including any loss (including loss of Loyalty Points) or unauthorised use of their Membership. Members are liable for all activity on their Membership Account, including any missing Loyalty Points, until we are notified of the loss, theft or unauthorised use.

STAX. may, at its discretion, cancel or suspend the use of all or any Loyalty Points that have been issued to you if your right to participate in the Program is suspended or terminated.

Note: Upon receipt of a written cancellation of Membership notice under this clause, STAX. will cancel the relevant Membership and all accumulated Loyalty Points in that Member's account (along with any unused Benefits and Member Promotional Benefits held by the Member) will immediately expire.
