The Company will not be responsible for any communication not received by a Program Member.

 

2.5 INACTIVE ACCOUNTS

An Account is deemed to be inactive if points are not earned in connection with such Account for a period of two (2) years. Once an Account is deemed to be inactive, all points in such Account may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be deemed to have been forfeited by such Member, with or without notice.

 

2.6 ACCOUNT CLOSURE

In addition to closure for inactivity (as described in Section 2.5 above) or electing to unsubscribe from communications (described in Section 4.3 below), a Program Member may elect to opt-out of participation in the Program at any time.

In the event a Program Member no longer wishes to participate in the Program, such Program Member may withdraw through the ‘My Account’ section on the DS Site by ‘unselecting’ participation in and clicking okay to remove the practice account from the Program.

For account closures at a Program Member’s election through the ‘My Account’ function, any Points in the Program Member’s Account as of such time will remain available to the Program Member for a period of ninety (90) days. Thereafter, all points will be reduced to zero (0) and forfeited.

 

2.7 SECURITY

If an Account is used by any other person, all points relating to redemption of points and/or purchases made by such other person will be credited to the Program Member’s Account.

Any points redeemed prior to notification shall be at the Program Member’s risk.

The Company will not be responsible for such loss of points by the Program Member due to misuse of the Account.

 

ARTICLE 3

REWARD POINTS

 

3.1 COLLECTION; REDEMPTION

Points can be earned by Program Members in connection with purchases of goods and/or services made through the Company online through the Program Website, regardless of method of payment, provided that the Account is presented/entered at the time of purchase. Orders placed through the Company’s Customer Service team via phone, in person, Company sales representative, or other non-DS Site medium do not earn points. No points shall accrue on purchases made via the DS Site unless and until enrollment in the Program has been completed by the Program Member.

Points cannot be retroactively added. Points are awarded to the Program Member’s Account at the time of invoicing of the product purchases, which may be later than the date on which the qualifying purchase is made on the DS Site. Points awarded to the Program Member’s Account shall have validity of 24 months from the date of such credit.

Points can be redeemed for rewards. When enough points have been accumulated to obtain the reward(s) desired, redemption may occur online as set forth on the DS Site. In order to redeem points on a purchase, the Program Member must have sufficient points to cover the entire reward “purchase” at the time of redemption including but not limiting to transportation costs and any tax or other liabilities or charges payable to the government or any other authority or body established by law in force. The redemption schedule, available rewards and other information is available on the Program Website.

Program Member shall not combine the points with other selected promotions, offers or discounts which the Company may offer from time to time.

A Program Member must provide his/her Account when redeeming points to protect the integrity of the Program Member’s points balance. Each Program Member is responsible to ensure that all Program Member information is correct and up-to-date, and the Company reserves the right to block redemptions where the Member information is inaccurate or incomplete. Members are solely and entirely responsible for keeping their Account secure.

 

3.2 VALUE

Points are not exchangeable for cash, but the redemption of cash will be treated as cash equivalent for tax purposes. The accumulation of points does not entitle the Program Members to any vested rights, and the Company does not guarantee in any way the continued availability of any reward, redemption level, or any other benefit. The Company assumes no liability to Program Members with regard to the addition or deletion of items from or for which points can be collected and/or redeemed. Points and products earned through participating in this Program may be subject to tax liability. Any tax liability, including disclosure connected with the receipt or use of the Points is the responsibility of the Program Member.

 

3.3 TRANSFERABILITY

Except as permitted from time to time by the Company, points cannot be assigned, exchanged, traded, bartered, purchased or given by gift or otherwise sold. Any points so acquired are void. For the avoidance of doubt, such prohibited transfers include transfers upon operation or law upon the death of a Member.

 

3.4 RETURN/EXCHANGE POLICY

In the event of a return/exchange of any eligible purchase that initially earned points, such points will be deducted automatically from the Account that was used for the eligible purchase (whether or not the Account is presented at the time of return and/or exchange). Points will be deducted at the same rate as they were earned. It is further clarified that where any points awarded through such eligible purchase have been redeemed prior to return/exchange by the Program Member, the Company would be well within its rights to deduct such points irrespective of their redemption in a manner stipulated hereinabove.

Upon the return and/or exchange of products awarded through the redemption of points, all redeemed points will be forfeited.

3.5 PROMOTION

From time to time, the Company may advertise or offer exclusive offers to select Program Members to earn or redeem points for items other than a discount reward or receive other benefits or discounts.
