A condition of participation is that the User has read the privacy notice and accepted these Terms and Conditions in full; once completed, the new member will become a full Vans Family User.
All Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and other account information.
Users are fully responsible for all activities that take place within their account.
Updating Personal Information
When registering, Users must provide a correct email address in order to receive benefits and to ensure that Points are correctly credited. Each User is therefore responsible for keeping their personal information, including their email address, accurate and up to date. Users may update their information via their Vans online account at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/. Vans may require Users to fulfil certain identity verification requirements in order to update their information.
Points and Programme Benefits
The Programme enables Users to accumulate and redeem points (hereinafter "Point(s)") on an individual basis and exclusively on their own account. The Programme is structured to offer certain benefits which Users may choose to accept or not.
Upon creating an account, as described under "Registration", Users are responsible for selecting a strong password to protect their account and for ensuring they do not share it with others.
How to Earn Points
For every purchase made in the United Kingdom during the promotional period at participating Vans Stores, at participating official Vans temporary stores at Vans events, or at the Vans website at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/, Users will automatically receive 10 Points for every pound sterling (£1) spent on any eligible product (a "Purchase", as described below).
Vans reserves the right to organise additional promotional activities during the Programme in order to benefit Users. In particular, extensions of the Programme or more favourable conditions for Users may be introduced. Such conditions will be communicated to Users via advertising materials made available by Vans in participating Vans Stores or on the Vans website at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/.
For Purchases at participating Vans Stores or at participating official Vans temporary stores at Vans events, Points will be credited to the User's Vans Family account after providing, at the time of the in-store purchase, the name or email address associated with their Vans Family account. Points will be credited to the User's account within 72 hours of the Purchase. If the User did not provide their email address or phone number associated with their account at the time of purchase, they may, within thirty (30) days, contact Customer Services at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/help/contact-us and, upon verification of the Purchase, the Points will be credited to their account. Users are reminded to keep proof of Purchase until the related Points have been added to their Programme account.
For purchases on the Vans website at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/, Users must be logged into their Programme account and complete the purchase; only in this way will they be able to accumulate Points.
Points will be credited to the User's personal account within 24 hours of the Purchase.
If Users join Vans Family after making a Purchase, they will have thirty (30) days from the date of that Purchase to have the Points for that purchase credited. Users are reminded to keep proof of the online Purchase until the related Points have been added to their Programme account.
For any issue regarding the failure to credit Points to their account, Users may contact Customer Services at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/help/contact-us.
There is no limit to the number of Points a User can earn through Purchases.
Please note that purchases of customised ("Custom") products do not entitle the User to accumulate Points. If an order contains both customised ("Custom") products and standard products, Points will be awarded solely for the standard products included in the order. Furthermore, if an order contains customised ("Custom") products, it will not be possible to use Points or Vans Family Rewards within that same order. If an order consists exclusively of customised ("Custom") products, it will not be possible either to accumulate Points or to use previously earned Points to obtain Vans Family Rewards.
Users may purchase items at regular or discounted prices at participating Vans Stores, at participating official Vans temporary stores at Vans events, or on the Vans website.
Vans Family Rewards may be used in combination with other discounts, promotions or promotional codes validly applicable to the Purchase, including any promotional codes associated with the loyalty Programme, unless otherwise specified by Vans for specific initiatives.
Members may use Points to purchase Gift Cards or eGift Cards at Vans Stores or online at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/. However, the purchase of Gift Cards or eGift Cards will not entitle the User to accumulate Points.
Points cannot be accumulated for purchases of Vans-branded items from wholesale retailers or stores not owned by Vans. Users may ask a store assistant to indicate which Vans stores are owned by Vans and not by third parties. The Programme is intended for end consumers only; resellers/distributors may not register for the Programme, even on behalf of their customers. Vans reserves the right to carry out appropriate checks on a User's participation in the Programme, including by revoking Points credited for Purchases that do not fall within the intended use of the Programme; in any suspected case, the account may be suspended or closed at Vans's sole discretion. In the event of a total or partial return, Vans also reserves the right not to award or to revoke Points earned in relation to the returned products. If a Purchase was made using previously redeemed Points and the return covers the entire order, the Points used for that Purchase will be re-credited to the User's account.
If an item is returned, Points earned by the User for that item will be deducted from the total accumulated Points. Each User must notify Vans of their participation in the Programme when returning a Purchase.
Points have no monetary value and cannot be transferred or assigned to third parties.
All issued Points will expire after 12 months from the earning date. Vans reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the expiry of Points. In this case, notice will be given at participating Vans Stores and/or on the Vans website at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/.
Vans is committed to implementing measures to monitor and continue the Programme in accordance with Users' proper participation and in good faith.
Programme Benefits
Users will be offered certain benefits which they may choose to use or not, with an indication of whether Points are required. For example: welcome gift upon joining the Programme, birthday gifts, participation in exclusive competitions, etc. (collectively, "Benefits").
Available Benefits will be visible in the User's Vans Family account, accessible online at https://www.vans.com/en-gb/.
Vans reserves the right to activate, during the Programme, additional Benefits in order to benefit Users. In particular, extensions or more favourable conditions may be introduced. Such conditions will be communicated to Users through advertising materials made available by Vans.
Benefits have no monetary value and are not reimbursable in cash, and no change or currency will be given for a Benefit. Benefits may be used by Users as a full or partial payment method for purchases made at participating Vans Stores and on the Vans website.
Benefits may be redeemed exclusively upon reaching the Points thresholds set by the Programme and subject to the applicable minimum spend, as set out in the following table:
Points threshold | Benefit value and minimum spend |
1,000 Points | £10 discount, minimum spend £50 |
1,500 Points | £15 discount, minimum spend £75 |
2,000 Points | £20 discount, minimum spend £100 |
2,500 Points | £25 discount, minimum spend £150 |
Benefits will be integrated into the checkout process on the e-commerce site and in participating stores, and Users may select them as a payment method at the time of purchase.
Users may also use their Benefits to purchase Vans Gift Cards or eGift Cards. However, the purchase of Gift Cards or eGift Cards will not entitle the User to accumulate additional Points.
In the event of a full return of an order for which one or more Benefits were used, the redeemed Points will be re-credited to the User's account. In the event of a partial return, any re-crediting of Points will be carried out in accordance with the operational rules applied by Vans at the time of handling the return.
The Promoter reserves the right to introduce additional Benefits and Points redemption methods, duly communicated to Users through official Programme channels.
Users are solely responsible for safeguarding their Benefits and protecting them from theft and unauthorised use. Vans will not replace lost or stolen Benefits.
