Eligibility
The Program is open to individuals who have reached the age of majority where they reside. Although we do not generally verify the age of Program members, we reserve the right to cancel a membership if we discover that the member is not a legal adult. The Program is intended only for personal use, and not for commercial use.
The Program may not be available at all of our store locations. Importantly, during the initial rollout of the Program, the Program will only be available to customers of a few select store locations.
Enrolling in the Program
To become a Member of the Program, you must enroll and register through the Program website at www.patelbros.com/rewards (the “Program Website”). You may also enroll at the point of sale with your phone number but must visit www.patelbros.com/rewards to complete registration. We may, in our discretion, provide you with a way to receive the enrollment link via text message or email. By enrolling in the Program, you certify that you meet the eligibility requirements and that the information you provide at the time of enrollment is accurate. There is no cost or fee to enroll in or participate in the Program.
To enroll in the Program, you will need to provide us with your name, a 10-digit telephone number or other number you select (which will be used as your Program account number), and email address. You will also be required to select a password for use with the Program according to the password requirements shown on the Program website. In addition, you will be required to select a “home store.” This information is required in order for you to receive the benefits of the Program and to interact with the Program website. At enrollment, you may optionally provide us with additional information such as dietary or nutritional preferences, your birth month/day and your home address.
We call the information that you provide to us your “Member Profile,” which you may update through the Program website at any time. We will use information in your Member Profile to customize your Program benefits to you, in addition to other uses allowed by the Privacy Policy, described below.
Communication Preferences
When you enroll, you will also have the opportunity to select your communication preferences. These preferences allow you to determine how frequently we will communicate with you via email and the subject matter of those emails. By enrolling and participating in the Program, you agree to receive communications from us according to your communication preferences. You are responsible for keeping your Member Profile up to date.
You may update your communication preferences and information at any time at the Program website.
Email Communications
Unless and until you opt out of email communications in your Member Profile, we may email you about the Program and Program promotions and offers. You may choose to stop receiving such communications by following the instructions in such communications.
SMS/Text Communications
When you sign up for our text messaging program (“SMS Program”), you accept the Program’s Privacy Policy and you expressly authorize us and others texting on our behalf to send promotional and other text messages, via automated and non-automated dialing technology, to the mobile phone number that you provide. By opting in to the SMS Program, you confirm and agree that you are a US resident, that you are the account holder for the mobile phone number you provide, that you are permitted to receive text messages at that mobile phone number, and that you will promptly notify us at customerservice@patelbros.com if that mobile phone number changes or if you no longer own and control the device assigned by your carrier to that mobile phone number.
You may opt out of the SMS Program at any time, and consent to receive promotional text messages is not required to purchase any goods or services or to participate in the Program. You can expect to receive up to ten (10) promotional text messages per month, plus additional non-promotional texts messages. Message and data rates may apply to each text message sent or received, in addition to any applicable roaming charges. Please check with your carrier for details.
To unsubscribe from the SMS Program, text “STOP” to (847) 231-2713 or reply “STOP” to any SMS Program text message. For help, text “HELP” to (847) 231-2713 or reply “HELP” to any SMS Program text message. You can also unsubscribe by emailing us at customerservice@patelbros.com. You agree that, following any such request to unsubscribe, you may receive one (1) last text message simply to confirm that your request to unsubscribe has been processed. Following that confirmation message, no additional promotional text messages will be sent unless you opt back into the SMS Program.
Removal from the Program
You may cancel your membership in the Program at any time by visiting the Program website and selecting the appropriate menu choices. We may cancel your membership if we discover that any of the information you provided at enrollment or in your Member Profile is inaccurate, if you breach these Program Terms, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. If your membership is terminated for any reason, then any existing Program benefits and rewards will be forfeited and you will no longer be eligible for future benefits or rewards through the Program.
Program Modification and Termination
We may, in our discretion, cancel Promotions (defined below) available through the Program and terminate the Program at any time without notice to you. In addition, we may modify these Program Terms from time to time in our sole discretion without notice to you. When we do modify these Program Terms, we will update the “Effective Date” shown above to reflect the date of the modification. The link to these Program Terms on the Program Website will also indicate the last date of modification. By visiting the Program website or participating in the Program after these Program Terms have been updated, you consent to the revised Program Terms. If you do not accept the Program Terms, you are not authorized to participate in the Program.
Points
The Program offers Members the ability to earn loyalty points (“Points”) based on purchases of eligible products on our e-commerce platform located at www.patelbros.com or through in-store transactions at participating store locations (“Qualifying Products”) by logging in to your Member Profile or providing the telephone number associated with your Member Profile at the time of the point-of-sale transaction. We will award Points for purchases of Qualifying Products at a rate determined by us at our sole discretion. The number of Points earned for purchases of Qualifying Products is subject to change at our sole discretion and without notice. You will receive the Points earned for each transaction either in-store or online immediately. Points can be checked online at any time by visiting www.patelbros.com
Point calculations are based upon the net purchase amount paid for the Qualifying Products spent at checkout which does not include coupon savings, store discounts, other promotional offers or discounts, rebates applied at time of purchase, dollars spent on federal/state and/or local sales tax, shipping charges, delivery charges and any other savings or reductions from stated price or other add on costs. The net purchase amount of total Qualifying Product(s) purchased will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar before Points are calculated. Certain products, promotions, and services may be excluded from earning points.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, at any time during the duration of the Program, to determine whether a purchase qualifies to earn Points under the Program and the value of the points earned for any purchase.
Any Points you earn by completing a purchase of Qualifying Products are considered a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, personal, and non-transferable right solely for use towards the earning of Rewards during the duration of the Program. Accordingly, you have no property, proprietary, intellectual property, ownership, or monetary interest in your Points, which remain property of PB Brands, LLC at all times. Points have no “real world” or cash value and are not redeemable for cash, transferable, or assignable for any reason and have no value beyond the duration of the Program. Points have no purpose or use except in exchange for the Rewards offered. Accordingly, you may not purchase, sell, barter, or trade any Points, or offer to purchase, sell, or trade any Points. Points will not be valid unless earned in strict compliance with the requirements as established and intended by us, and you shall not attempt to earn Points by any means (including, without limitation, by using any script, bot or other automated means) that only simulates compliance with the applicable requirements. We reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate in the event that we believe, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Program Terms. You agree to abide by our final and binding decisions regarding the Program and your participation in it.
Redeeming Points and Rewards
Once earned, Points will be deposited into your Member Profile and can be used to acquire rewards from the “Rewards Section” of the Program Website, while supplies last (“Rewards”). The Rewards Section of the Program Website will list the corresponding Point value required to redeem for each item. Rewards, and the redemption thereof, and any other related information are subject to prior confirmation of eligibility and compliance with these Program Terms. The items listed as Rewards on the Program Website may fluctuate as available items are redeemed and additional items are added. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees that any particular Reward will be (or will continue to be) available or offered in the Rewards Section. Reward availability is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis. We reserve the right to modify, change, delete or add Rewards, or any element thereof at any time. We reserve the right to modify the Point value(s) required to redeem any Reward, at any time and for any reason. All redemptions are subject to these Program Terms and all limitations or requirements on the Program Website. We reserve the right to verify your eligibility qualifications prior to fulfilling a Reward.
All Points redemptions for items are final. Points will not be refunded or placed back in your Member Profile for any reason after redemption of Points using the Program Website. Some items available in the Rewards Section of the Program Website may be available in limited quantities, or for a limited time. Once the total available number of any such Reward has been claimed, or once the limited time to redeem such a Reward has expired, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to remove that Reward from the Rewards Section of the Program Website. If there is a particular Reward offered that you would like to receive, you should redeem your Points for that Reward as soon as possible (once you have enough Points) because supplies or redemption time may be limited and the Program may be discontinued at any time in our sole discretion.
Rewards are provided “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied by us. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to substitute any Reward or a component thereof with a Reward of equal or greater retail value.
Promotions
By enrolling in the Program, you gain access to various promotions that we may offer from time-to-time. These promotions may include digital coupons, “Buy One, Get One,” special offers, giveaways, and special pricing available only to Program members and other types of promotion. We may advertise or inform you about promotions through the Program website or through emails or other communications which we send to you. However, some promotions may provide instant discounts, free products or other instant benefits either at the point of sale or through the Program website, without any prior notice to you.
Other than promotions which provide an instant benefit, all promotions will have an expiration date, beyond which you may not receive any benefit from the promotion. Any benefits you might receive in connection with a promotion will expire with the promotion and may not be rolled forward to a future promotion. Unless otherwise noted in their applicable terms, promotions may not be combined with other promotions or offers.
Some promotions will require you to “clip” a benefit through the Program website or linked email in order to activate that benefit and link it to your Member Profile. Once clipped, you must use the benefit by its expiration date. Any benefits which are clipped, but not used, in that time, will be forfeited. Unless otherwise described in a promotion’s description on the Program website, a benefit, once clipped, may be used only one time.
Promotions may not be available to every member in the Program, and we may determine which members are eligible for any promotion in our sole discretion. In particular, we may limit promotions to specific stores or geographic regions and may choose which members are eligible for Promotions by referencing their purchase history. In addition, some promotions will only be available to you at the “home store” listed in your Member Profile.
We may terminate a promotion early for any reason.
Identifying Yourself at Our Stores
In order to provide you with the benefits of Program promotions, we must identify your membership at the time you checkout in our stores. To do this, we require you to provide your Program account number at checkout. The Program account number you provide must match the Program account number stored in your Member Profile.
If you have clipped a Program benefit and that benefit applies to your transaction, then we will apply that benefit to your transaction. You should be aware that most benefits will disappear once applied to a transaction so you should not clip a benefit until you are ready to use it.
Because some promotions are based on your shopping history, you should provide your telephone number even if you do not have any clipped Program benefits or available promotions.
If you forget to provide your telephone number at checkout please contact us through our Guest Services Email CustomerService@patelbros.com.
Use Through Our E-Commerce Platform
The Program is intended mainly for use in our physical stores. However, some promotions may be available, from time to time, through our e-commerce platform located at shop.patelbros.com.
