ABOUT BAUER MVP 

  1. Overview of BAUER MVP. BAUER MVP is a loyalty program offered at the sole discretion of Bauer Hockey and through which eligible individuals who enroll in BAUER MVP (“Members,” also referred to in these BAUER MVP Terms individually as “you” or “your” or collectively as “they” or “their”) can set up an online BAUER MVP Account (“BAUER MVP Account” or “Account”). As a Member you can earn points (“Points”) as set forth in Section E, below that will be used to determine your membership Tier as explained in Section D, which determines the benefits you are eligible to receive (“Member Benefits”). Notwithstanding any other provision in these BAUER MVP Terms, Points cannot be exchanged nor redeemed in connection with BAUER MVP (for greater certainty, Points cannot be exchanged for money, goods, services nor credit), and have no exchange value nor cash value. Once received, Points do not expire and cannot be forfeited.  Once earned, Points merely establish which membership Tier the Member will participate in for the calendar year following acquisition of the Points needed for a particular membership Tier, as further explained in Section Ds.
  1. Privacy. All information submitted by you in connection with BAUER MVP will be treated according to the Bauer Hockey privacy policy found at https://www.bauer.com/pages/privacy-policy or https://ca.bauer.com/pages/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”). Personal Information collected as part of Bauer MVP may include (but is not limited to) your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, shopping/purchase history, online behavior, email engagement, point earning history, point redemption history, and survey response data. Any of the categories of Personal information collected as part of Bauer MVP may be used for advertising purposes but you may opt-out of targeted advertising and remain a member of Bauer MVP.  Bauer does not share your Personal Information collected through the Bauer MVP Loyalty Program with third parties, and Bauer does not provide your Personal Information to data brokers. Please see our Privacy Policy and Bauer’s Notice of Financial Incentive for more information about Personal Information we may collect or the value of Personal Information provided as part of Bauer MVP. By registering for BAUER MVP, you agree to receive e-mail communications about BAUER MVP. During registration and at other times, you may be able to opt-in to receive text communications about BAUER MVP and other Bauer Hockey offers and marketing communications. You can opt-out of receiving e-mail or text communications at any time, but you may not receive information about Bauer MVP or your Member Benefits.  However, opting out of Bauer MVP e-mail or text communications (or targeted advertising) does not remove you from receiving transactional e-mails related to Bauer MVP or impact your ability to continue earning other Points or Member Benefits. 
  1. Cancelling Membership in BAUER MVP. You may cancel your participation in BAUER MVP at any time by emailing bmvp@baur.com and requesting to cancel your membership in BAUER MVP. By canceling your membership in BAUER MVP, you will forfeit all Member Benefits (with no compensation) and will no longer be eligible for BAUER MVP; however, you will still have a Shopping Account to use for shopping purposes with the same log in credentials at Bauer.com (the “U.S. Bauer Website”) or CA.Bauer.com (the “Canadian Bauer Website”), subject to the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Security Policy posted on those websites (collectively “Bauer Website Terms”), as may be updated from time to time.  For purposes of these BAUER MVP Terms, the U.S. Bauer Website and the Canadian Bauer Website shall be referred to collectively as the “Bauer Website.”  

 

ELIGIBILITY FOR BAUER MVP 

  1. In order to sign up and participate in BAUER MVP, you must be at least 13 years old or older and a legal resident of the United States (including D.C.) or Canada (“Eligible Reward Members”). BAUER MVP is void where prohibited.
  1. By creating a BAUER MVP Account, you agree that you meet the eligibility criteria and that you will be bound by, and will comply with, these BAUER MVP Terms. If you are eligible but under the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you confirm that you have permission from your parent or legal guardian to enter and to be bound by these BAUER MVP Terms. 
  1. Employees, officers and directors, and anyone else with a recurring discount from Sponsor are not eligible for BAUER MVP. 
  1. BAUER MVP is only open to individuals who meet the eligibility requirements and are participating for personal, non-commercial purposes. Groups, clubs, organizations, businesses, and commercial and non-commercial entities cannot participate in BAUER MVP and are not eligible to create a BAUER MVP Account, earn Points, or participate in Member Benefits.

 

ENROLLMENT   

  1. To enroll in BAUER MVP, eligible individuals who do not already have an account set up for shopping on the Bauer Website (“Shopping Account”) may create a BAUER MVP Account (which includes a Shopping Account) by visiting the BAUER MVP page on the Bauer Website (the “BAUER MVP Site”) and creating a BAUER MVP Account by providing their own personal email address, first and last name, date of birth, and creating a password.  There is no purchase required to create a BAUER MVP Account.  Once a BAUER MVP Account is created, a Member may not change the email address associated with the Account.  If your email changes, contact bmvp@bauer.com for assistance creating a new Bauer MVP Account (you may lose benefits associated with your prior Account).  Members will be designated as either a Canadian Member or a U.S. Member depending on their geographic location at the time of enrollment based on geolocation.  If a Member is assigned to a geographic location based on geolocation that is inconsistent with their residency, they may email bmvp.bauer.com to request their membership status be updated to the geographic location of their residency, subject to providing proof of residency, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.  If after signing up for a BAUER MVP Account, and before engaging in any BAUER MVP activities, a Member decides that they prefer to maintain a Shopping Account to make purchases at the Bauer Website without participating in BAUER MVP, such Member may opt out of BAUER MVP by following the directions on the BAUER MVP Site, in which case such Member will still have a Shopping Account with the same log in credentials, subject to the Bauer Website Terms. 
  2. Where permissible by law, Eligible individuals who have a Shopping Account prior to the launch of BAUER MVP (“Pre-existing Bauer Account”) may be notified by email regarding BAUER MVP and given the opportunity to update their Pre-existing Bauer Account to a BAUER MVP Account by accepting these BAUER MVP Terms.  An eligible individual with a Pre-existing Bauer Account who does not receive an email notification may still update their Pre-existing Bauer Account at any time simply by visiting the BAUER MVP Site, loggin into their Pre-existing Bauer Account, and accepting the BAUER MVP Terms.  If an Existing Bauer Account holder does not update to a BAUER MVP Account, their Existing Bauer Account will remain a Shopping Account that is not part of BAUER MVP. 
  3. By signing up for or updating to a BAUER MVP Account, and/or participating in BAUER MVP, you fully and unconditionally agree to these BAUER MVP Terms.  If you fail to comply with these BAUER MVP Terms, as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion, you can be: (a) terminated from BAUER MVP, (b) prohibited from participation in all or portions of BAUER MVP, and (c) forfeit all or a portion of your Member Benefits, without compensation (all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and subject to applicable law).  
  4. There is a limit of one BAUER MVP Account per person and per email address, regardless of whether more than one person uses the same e-mail address. Sponsor reserves the right to delete a BAUER MVP Account (and all Member Benefits associated with such BAUER MVP Account, without compensation) if the same Member is found to have set up multiple BAUER MVP Accounts, or if the same email address is found to be associated with multiple BAUER MVP Accounts.  Points earned from different BAUER MVP Accounts may not be merged, shared or transferred, even if the same person or email address is associated with those different BAUER MVP Accounts.   
  5. You are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate information (including without limitation contact information) in connection with your BAUER MVP Account. 

 

MEMBER TIER ASSIGNMENTS 

  1. There are different point thresholds that define tiers in BAUER MVP, which vary for Canadian Members and U.S. Members (each a “Tier”).
  2. Table D.1 shows the Tiers and the Points required for each Tier, depending on whether a Member is a Canadian Member or a U.S. Member.
  3. The Member Benefits that a Member is eligible for are determined by the Tier to which a Member is assigned.  Table D.2 shows the Member Benefits associated with each Tier.
  4. Once assigned to a Tier, a Member is guaranteed to stay in that Tier for 365 days (a “Tier Term”).  Once a Member is assigned to a Tier, the Member cannot be downgraded to a lower Tier for the next 365 days, but can be upgraded to a higher Tier (if one exists), based on the processes detailed in Section D.6., below, which will start a new Tier Term.
  5. As a Member earns Points by participating in BAUER MVP (as detailed in Section E), Sponsor will track those Points in the Member’s Account.  Sponsor will maintain different Points totals as follows:
    • “Total Points Earned Since Joining BAUER MVP” represents the total number of Points earned by the Member since joining BAUER MVP.
    • “Points Earned During Current Tier Term” represents the total number of Points earned by the Member since they were last assigned to a new Tier (or re-assigned to the same Tier), within the past 365 days. The Points Earned During Current Tier Term resets to zero Points on the 366th day following the Member’s last Tier assignment.  
    • “Points Earned Year to Date” represents the total number of Points earned by the Member during the prior 365 days, as of the current date, regardless of Tier Term.
    • “Points Earned During the Prior Tier Term” represents the total number of Points earned by the Member while they were assigned to a Tier that has just ended, for purposes of determining the Member’s Tier assignment for their next Tier Term.  
  1. All new Members will be assigned to Tier One when they join BAUER MVP, and their first Tier Term will commence on joining BAUER MVP.  Thereafter, the Tier that a Member is currently assigned to will be determined by their Points Earned During their Current Tier Term or by the Points Earned Year to Date or their Points Earned During the Prior Tier Term, as further detailed in Sections 6.a through 6.c, below.
    • For Members who start a Tier Term assigned to Tier One, if at any time the Member’s Points Earned During Current Tier Term reach the threshold for Tier Two, the Member will be upgraded and re-assigned to Tier Two, and the Member is guaranteed to remain in Tier Two for a Tier Term that will start the day the Member is moved to Tier Two (unless the Member is reassigned to Tier Three within that Tier Term).
      • i. If that Member who moved from Tier One to Tier Two during their Tier Term reaches Tier Three status based on their Points Earned to Date total, they will be re-assigned to Tier Three and a new Tier Term will commence.
    • For Members who start a Tier Term assigned to Tier Two, if at any time the Member’s Points Earned During Current Tier Term reaches the threshold for Tier Three, the Member will be upgraded and re-assigned to Tier Three, and is guaranteed to remain in Tier Three for a Tier Term that will start the day the Member was reassigned to Tier Three.
    • At the end of the Member’s current Tier Term, regardless of what Tier they are in, they will be assigned to a Tier for the next Tier Term based on their Points Earned During the Prior Tier Term. 
  1. A Member’s Tier will not change until the Points have been processed and posted to the Member’s BAUER MVP Account. As soon as the Points appear in the Member’s Bauer MVP Account, if the Member reaches a new Tier, the Member will be eligible for all Member Benefits in the new Tier. The time it takes for Points to be processed and to appear in a Member’s BAUER MVP Account varies depending on the activity and current Member activity levels, are in Sponsor’s sole discretion, and may not be appealed. 
  1. Sponsor reserves the right to advance a Member to a higher Tier, in its sole discretion, for one or more Tier Terms.
  1. Member Benefits are subject to change, discontinuation, limitation, and/or addition in Sponsor’s sole discretion and with or without advance notice, as permitted by these BAUER MVP Terms and by applicable law.
