The sole purpose of the program is to create loyalty amongst Customers through a loyalty program, which recognizes advantages for them as they are holders of a Personal Customer Profile.

Art. 3 Levels of the Program

The use of an email address present in the Personal Customer Profile for purchases, accumulating loyalty points, in accordance with Art. 4 below, gives the Customer the chance to reach 3 different levels. Depending on the level, the Customer can receive increasing gratifications.

The first level –Basecamp Monza – is acquired immediately with membership of the program. On reaching 900 loyalty points, the Customers goes on to the second level, Chalet “La Ceffa”. If the Customer does not reach the loyalty points necessary to go up to the second level, they remain at the first level for the entire duration of the Program. If the Customer reached, with only one purchase, the threshold of 900 loyalty points, they go directly from the Basecamp Monza level to the Chalet “La Ceffa” level. The Customer who is at the “La Ceffa” goes up to the third level, “Vetta Colmar” (Colmar Peak) on reaching 1923 loyalty points.

The levels of the program apply in all the territories.

Art. 4 Acquisition, crediting and validity of the loyalty points

The loyalty points are automatically uploaded to the Personal Customer Profile after each purchase made on the Site or in the Stores, except in the cases in the following paragraphs. For each euro spent, rounded down (e.g. €1.99 = 1 point = 1 metre) 1 point is earned.

The loyalty points from purchases made on the Site can be credited only if the Customer has previously accessed their Personal Customer Profile, completing the purchase as a logged-in user; if they decide to proceed as a guest user, no loyalty points are credited. The loyalty points will be temporary for 30 days, therefore after the period in which the right to cancel/return has lapsed, pursuant to the Conditions of Sale. After this period, the loyalty points will be accredited as permanent.

Crediting the loyalty points for the purchases made in the Stores is possible only after communicating the email shown in the Personal Customer Profile when paying. The loyalty points will be temporary until the Customer, if this is the first purchase and therefore of membership according to Art. 2, confirms their membership in the Program by clicking on the email of confirmation received at the address given, in this way activating the Personal Customer Profile.

The loyalty points earned in the Stores situated in the Territories, excluding Italy, are uploaded to the Personal Customer Profile as follows:

  • Austria, value of loyalty points in local currency: 1€ = 1 POINT = 1 metre
  • France, value of loyalty points in local currency: 1€ = 1 POINT = 1 metre
  • Germany, value of loyalty points in local currency: 1€ = 1 POINT = 1 metre

Without prejudice to the levels of the Program as per Art. 3 above.

The loyalty points cannot be credited after the time shown, whether in the case of a purchase made on the Site or in the Stores.

The returns and refunds for purchases made on the Site, including in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, generate the cancellation of the loyalty points according to the same criterion as their crediting. The returns and refunds for purchases made in the Stores do not generate the cancellation of the loyalty points in consideration of the issue of “store credit”.

Specific campaigns to earn extra loyalty points may be held, at the discretion of Colmar, of which adequate publicity and communication to the Customers will be given.

The loyalty points earned are valid for 24 months which takes effect from when they are permanently credited to the Personal Customer Profile.

The following do not contribute to the collection of loyalty points:

  • Purchases for commercial and/or professional activities, for which a request is made for the issue of an electronic invoice on the VAT number given at the time of the purchase;
  • Purchases made on the Site as a guest and not logged in;
  • Purchases made in the Stores using store credit;
