The Participant is responsible for ensuring that the email address provided during registration is valid and functioning for the entire duration of the Programme. It will not be possible to modify the email address associated with the registration. 

Art. 6: LOYALTY LEVELS

The Programme includes a number of levels (hereinafter the “Levels”) structured on the basis of the degree of loyalty of the Participant, as set out below.

The Programme provides four different levels (V-Green, V-Pink, V-Red and V-Gold).

When registering in the Programme, the Participant will automatically acquire the V-Green level. Once at least 200 points are earned within 12 months*, the Participant will automatically upgrade to the V-Pink level and will be entitled to all Benefits associated to that level (as detailed in Article 7 below).

Once 1500 points are earned within 12 months*, the Participant will automatically upgrade to the V-Red level and will be entitled to all Benefits associated to that level (as detailed in Article 7 below). 

Lastly, once 5000 points are earned within 12 months*, the Participant will automatically upgrade to the V-Gold level and will be entitled to all Benefits associated to that level (as detailed in Article 7 below). 

Each level comes with dedicated Benefits that may vary by type, conditions, terms of validity and terms of use. 

Please find below a summary of what described above: 

  • V-Green Level: 0-199 points
  • V-Pink Level: 200-1499 points
  • V-Red Level: 1500-4999 points
  • V-Gold Level: 5000 points or more 

Please also note that: 

Participants will earn 10 points for every €1 / £1 spent in a qualifying transaction: for each valid purchase made, the total amount of the transaction will be taken into consideration, net of any discounts and promotions and excluding decimals.

No points may be earned on gift card purchases. However, points can be earned for any payments made using gift cards, in accordance with what is laid out above.
In addition, no points will be earned on any shipping expenses relating to the purchase made. 

When making a purchase in a Store, points are immediately earned and associated with the Participant’s loyalty card number (without prejudice to technical updates). For online purchases, points will be earned and associated with the Participant’s loyalty card number when the order is fulfilled. All points earned across all purchasing channels will be combined into a single points balance.

For points to be accrued, Participants must show their loyalty card during check-out at Participating Stores or log in to their account when purchasing products on the Website. If Participants do not log into the Website or show their loyalty card at Participating Stores when they make a purchase, they will not earn points.
   *) The points earned, starting from the date of registration in the Programme, are valid for 12 (twelve) months as of the date of the corresponding purchase. At the end of each 12-month period, the points corresponding to each purchase made more than 12 months previously will be cancelled, while the points for any purchases made subsequently will be retained. The Level will always be determined by the Level corresponding to the sum of points earned in the previous 12 months. For example: A Participant makes a purchase on 25 June 2023 (earning 350 points) and another purchase on 30 September 2023 (earning 1400 points). The Level at 20 June 2024 will be V-Red, but when the first 350 points expire (i.e. as of 26 June 2024), the Participant will be transferred from the V-Red Level to the V-Pink Level. It will therefore be necessary to make an additional purchase to regain V-Red Level or higher-level status.

During the Promotion Duration Period, the Promoter, without prejudice to the rights acquired by Participants, reserves the right to improve the criteria and requirements for the assignment of Levels and the relative Benefits, by either modifying or replacing them. Participants will be provided with due notice of such modifications by means of publication on the Website and/or via email and, in addition, with any other method of communication deemed appropriate by the Promoter, at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the new terms and conditions. By continuing to use the Programme after such modifications have been announced and become effective, the Participant accepts the new terms and conditions by default.

Art. 7: BENEFITS

Every Participant, based on their level of loyalty, will be entitled to the Benefits established for their Level, according to what is set out below.

The discount associated with the Level reached will be automatically applied at the moment of payment after recognition of the Participant, which must take place according to the following methods: 

  • for purchases in the Store, the loyalty card must be presented at the checkout
  • for purchases on the e-commerce Website, Participants must log in using their credentials.

Those belonging to the V-Pink Level are entitled to a 5% discount on all of their Venchi product purchases (without prejudice to what is set out below). 
Those belonging to the V-Red Level are entitled to a 10% discount on all of their Venchi product purchases (without prejudice to what is set out below). 
Those belonging to the V-Gold Level are entitled to a 15% discount on all of their Venchi product purchases (without prejudice to what is set out below). 

The discount will not be applied:
-    on any shipping expenses applied to online purchases; 
-    on gift card purchases.
The discount cannot be combined with other promotions, unless expressly indicated.

It is the responsibility of the Recipients to check the conditions, the terms of use and the terms of validity applicable to any Benefits.

During the Validity Period, the Promoter, without prejudice to the rights acquired by Participants , reserves the right to modify and/or replace criteria and requirements for accessing the related Benefits by providing a dedicated communication to all Participants by means of publication on the Website and/or via email and, in addition, by any other method of communication deemed appropriate.

The updated list of the available Benefits and Promotions will always be available for consultation on the Website www.venchi.com.

Participants may also be rewarded with additional one-off Benefits, irrespective of their Level, including on special occasions and/or dates (e.g. customer birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc.) at the exclusive discretion of the Promoter.

In any event, the Benefits cannot be replaced, are not convertible into cash and may not be transferred or sold in any manner whatsoever. The points earned may refer only to purchases made by the Participant, and the Benefits may be collected only by the Participant, exclusively using the email address used to register in the Programme and/or the associated loyalty card. In any case, it will not be possible to transfer points or Benefits between accounts, even if they are held by the same Participant. 

Art. 8: GIFTS AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF THE PROMOTION

In addition to the Benefits and rewards laid out in the paragraphs above, the Promoter may also offer Participants additional gifts and/or organize further activities and promotions such as, for example, dedicated offers and promotions, unexpected delights, prize-promotions, etc. 

The Recipients concerned will be adequately informed of such additional promotional activities/initiatives through the communication channels that the Promoter will decide to use from time to time. The initiatives proposed may be governed by dedicated Terms and Conditions or regulation documents. 

Art. 9: COMMUNICATION
