3. PROGRAM BENEFITS
3.1. The Program is a way of thanking our loyal customers for purchasing our products and/or participating with our brand in promotions and/or activities. Members can earn Points or benefits by taking certain Program actions for which Sony promotes or declares, from time-to-time, that Points or benefits are redeemable (collectively, “Qualifying Actions”). Qualifying purchases include regular priced select products and/or services on the Website minus Exclusions (“Qualified Purchases”). Exclusions shall mean sales tax, state fees, shipping/handling charges, delivery charges, returns, exchanges, replacements, accommodations, purchase after returns, restocking fees, price match, discounts, coupons, any amounts redeemed as Sony Store credit, purchases to the extent paid with Points, and other excluded charges and/or purchases as specified by us from time-to-time, including, but not limited to, certain select premium products and services, and other specified products.
3.2. Earn My Sony Points. To receive points when shopping at electronics.sony.ca, you must be a Member and be logged into your Sony Account. You will receive 5 points for every 1 Canadian (“CAN”) Dollar spent (rounding up to the nearest dollar) on Qualified Purchases on the Website (“Points”). For example, if a Qualified Purchase is $10.75, the amount eligible for Points would be rounded up to $11.00 and the Member would earn 55 Points. From time to time, in our sole discretion, we may offer Qualifying Actions for which Members may earn Points. Qualified Purchases and Qualifying Actions will be posted on the Website or published through marketing communications and promotions on the Website or other manner of media, including without limitation on social media. For Qualified Purchases made on the Website, unless otherwise stated, Points are calculated based on the price of the Qualified Purchase on the Website at the time of purchase minus Exclusions. Points received for Qualified Purchases that are returned to Sony will be deducted from your Points balance.
After twelve (12) consecutive months of Account inactivity, all Points in the Account will expire without further notice to the Member. Account activity is defined as earnings Points through a purchase or using Points towards a purchase. Upon expiration, Points will not be reinstated by Sony. Membership will not be terminated upon expiration of Points.
A Member may redeem their accrued Points towards the purchase of products on the Website. Unless otherwise stated, Points will apply a discount of $0.01 per 1 Point. The number of Points required to redeem any Product is subject to change at any time without notice. Points will immediately be put on hold upon placing an order and thereafter will be deducted from the Member’s Program Sony Account upon shipment of the product.
3.3. For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program, logged into your Sony Account on the Website thereby providing your Program Member identification at the time you purchase Qualified Purchases. Products purchased before your membership in the Program are not eligible for the Program.
3.4. Sony Accounts, Points, benefits, or rewards of the Program may not be shared or combined. Only the Member paying for the Qualified Purchase may receive Points for said Qualified Purchase. Members may not sell, distribute, and/or transfer Points to other Members or non-Members for any reason whatsoever.

3.5. Points, benefits and/or rewards issued, accrued, or earned through the Program are available for use only as set forth in the Program and are not cash equivalents, have no cash value, are non-transferable, and assign no property rights to Members. Such Points, benefits and/or rewards do not create a right of payment to Members or anyone whatsoever. Points credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if all or part of the Qualified Purchase is returned or cancelled, or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Terms as determined by Sony, in our sole discretion. We are not responsible for Points lost or redeemed due to any activity by you or any third party. We are not responsible for Points that are expired, lost, stolen, or otherwise destroyed. The sale, barter, transfer, or assignment of any Points or benefits offered, issued, accrued, or earned through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited. Any applicable tax liabilities resulting from Points, benefits and/or rewards earned under the Program are the sole responsibility of the Member.

MEMBER AGREES THAT FAILURE TO SUBMIT INQUIRIES OR CLAIMS WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME PERIOD WILL CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE AND FINAL WAIVER AND FORFEITURE BY MEMBER WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBSTANCE OF SUCH CLAIMS OR INQUIRIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY POINTS, REWARDS OR BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM, AND RELEASES SONY FROM ANY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER RELATED TO SUCH INQUIRIES AND CLAIMS.
