1. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1.1 All references in these SuperPoints Buyer Terms and Conditions to "earn" or "redeem" in the context of SuperPoints shall be construed as Play.com awarding SuperPoints to you as a result of your expenditure with Play.com or a Merchant or a PlayTrader (as applicable), or the number of your SuperPoints being reduced in consideration for a discount on such expenditure.
1.2 SuperPoints can be earned and redeemed on all purchases made via the Website except for purchases of gift vouchers ("qualifying purchases"). SuperPoints may only be earned and redeemed as part of a qualifying purchase made via the Website.
1.3 We will record the SuperPoints earned and redeemed by each Buyer. Those records will be final and definitive.
2. EARNING SUPERPOINTS
2.1 All Buyers will automatically earn 1 SuperPoint for every £1 (pounds sterling) or €1 (euro) that they spend (after applying any other discounts and including VAT, but excluding any delivery charges) on a qualifying purchase made via the Website. The number of SuperPoints earned will be automatically rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g. if an item costs £1.59 or €1.59), you will earn 2 SuperPoints).
2.2 SuperPoints will be activated in your account within 14 days after we receive payment in respect of your qualifying purchase.
2.3 Merchants may at their discretion increase the rate at which Buyers earn SuperPoints when making qualifying purchases of that Merchant's products.
2.4 SuperPoints may be earned on qualifying pre-order purchases. The number of SuperPoints earned will be calculated based on the final price paid by you.
2.5 If you cancel your order, SuperPoints cannot be earned on that purchase and any SuperPoints already awarded will be void.
3. REDEEMING SUPERPOINTS
3.1. For every 100 SuperPoints you redeem, the total price payable by you in respect of a qualifying purchase will be reduced by £1 or €1 (as applicable).
3.2 SuperPoints have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash.
3.3 You may use SuperPoints as a discount and pay the remaining balance using another payment method. Alternatively, you may use SuperPoints to pay the total purchase price.
3.4 Once a SuperPoint has been redeemed, it will be removed from your account immediately after you have placed the order for your qualifying purchase. You cannot redeem a SuperPoint more than once. Any attempt to do so will be considered fraudulent and as a breach of these SuperPoints Buyer Terms and Conditions.
3.5 If you return an item that you have purchased using SuperPoints and receive a refund for that item, those SuperPoints will be recredited to you. You will not receive a cash refund in respect of those SuperPoints.
3.6 We may cancel your SuperPoints after 180 days if you do not make a qualifying purchase during this period, provided that we have given you at least 30 days' notice reminding you that your SuperPoints will expire if not used, and your SuperPoints balance will be zero.
4. CANCELLATION AND SUSPENSION
We may, at our sole discretion, delay, suspend or terminate any sale and/or your Buyer account and/or take any other action that we deem necessary, immediately on notice if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are in breach of these SuperPoints Buyer Terms and Conditions or any Applicable Laws.
