What are Beauty Pass Store Events?

Sephora Participation Terms and Conditions

The following Participation Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) shall govern all attendance and participation in any events and classes (collectively, “Events”) organised Sephora Australia Pty Ltd (“Sephora”), either on its own or in conjunction with any of its brand partners, including where such Events are held physically in-person in any stores operated or managed by Sephora. References to “you” or “participant” refers to all individuals who have registered for any such Events or who attend any such Events.

Participants may only register for, and attend Events, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

By submitting a registration or RSVP to any such Events, you hereby agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please do not submit any registration or RSVP to such Events or otherwise attend or participate in any such Events.

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully.

1. General Limitations on Event Participation
     a. General Limit for participation.
           i. Each Participant will only be allowed to register and attend in three (3) Events in a single calendar month (“General Limit”).

          ii. This restriction applies to all Events which are organised by Sephora (whether on its own or together with a third party (e.g., a brand partner)) in any venue within Australia. For the avoidance of doubt, attending multiple Events organised by Sephora together with different brand partners will still count towards this General Limit.

          iii. Sephora reserves the right to reject or revoke registrations which exceed this General Limit. Any attempts to circumvent the General Limit in bad faith (e.g., using multiple e-mail addresses), if discovered, will also result in any of the following actions being taken by Sephora in its sole discretion:

                    1. Rejection or revocation of registration for the relevant Event; or

                    2. Limitations being placed on that Participant’s right to register and attend future Events.

     b. Events with multiple sessions:

           i. For individual Events which have multiple sessions at different times and/or locations, each Participant will only be allowed to register and attend one session per Event.

            ii. Sephora reserves the right to reject registrations which have been made for multiple sessions for any single Event.
     c. For the purposes of this Clause 1, a Participant will still be regarded to have attended an Event or session where he/she:
              i. fails to show up to the Event; or
             ii. cancels his/her registration with less than 24 hours notice.

2.  Events Registration
     a.Unless otherwise stated, all participants must be above the age of eighteen (18) in order to register for any Events.
     b. To register for the Event, participants must.

            i. submit a valid and complete registration form at the designated registration portal for that Event.

            ii. for Events that are restricted to members of a certain Sephora membership tier, ensure that they have qualified for that that membership tier as of the date on which their registration form is submitted; and.

           iii. pay all due registration fees if any (i.e., in the form of deduction of Beauty Pass points) (“Registration Fee”).
     c. Unless otherwise stated, participant slots for all Events are limited and registrations will be processed on a first-come-first-serve basis. All registrations remain subject to availability and shall not be regarded as confirmed until the participant has received a written confirmation either via e-mail or mobile notification that his/her registration has been accepted (“Registration Confirmation”). Sephora reserves the right to close the registration portal or otherwise reject registrations once maximum occupancy has been reached.

     d. In the event any participant who has received a Registration Confirmation (such participant, a “Registered Participant”) is unable to attend the Event for any reason, he/she may cancel their registration by clicking on the link in the Registration Confirmation.

3. Entry to Events

      a. All Registered Participants will be required to produce (i) a valid Registration Confirmation; and (ii) a valid form of identification, for inspection and verification of identity prior to being granted entry and admission to the Event. Sephora shall have the right to request for verification of age, identity or any other information relevant to entry to the Event.

     b. All Registered Participants acknowledge and agree that they (and/or their property) may be subject to a reasonable search upon entry to all Events, and any Registered Participant who refuses to comply may be denied entry.

     c. Sephora reserves the right to refuse admission or to ask any Registered Participant to leave the Event and/or the premises in the event the Registered Participant:

          i. fails to produce the documents described in Paragraph 2a above;

          ii. fails to comply with the search measures described in Paragraph 2b above;

          iii. arrives more than ten (10) minutes after the schedule start time for the Event;

          iv. displays any inappropriate or disorderly conduct, or otherwise creates any concern for the safety and security of other Registered Participants, Sephora and/or its brand partner’s employees, officers, contractors, agents and/or representatives, or any other individual within the Event location and its neighbouring premises; or

           v. is discovered by Sephora to have failed to comply with these Terms and Conditions.

4. Door gifts, Event kits and other Event-related promotional items
     a. Sephora or its brand partners (as the case may be) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for door gifts to be distributed in-person to all Registered Participants (“Event Freebies”).

          ii. any event or circumstance not reasonably within Sephora’s control, including abnormally inclement weather, flood, lighting, storm, fire, explosion, earthquake, pandemic, epidemic or other natural disaster, acts of God, failure or shortage of power supplies, war, terrorist action or the proximate threat thereof, military operations, riot, crowd disorder, strike, lock-out or other industrial or civil commotion, or any legislation, regulation, ruling of any relevant government, court or any competent national or international authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall include any quarantine, health, safety or stay-home measure, lock-down or other movement restriction imposed by any relevant government or national or international authority in connection with the coronavirus disease known as “COVID-19”.
     c. Any changes in Event time, schedule or location, including any rescheduling or postponement, shall entitle all Registered Participants to a full refund of Registration Fees (if any) in the event that the Registered Participant is no longer able to attend the Event because of the change, provided that he/she notifies Sephora in writing that he/she will not be able to attend within 2 business days of receiving notification of the change.
     d. In the event of any cancellation or termination of the Event, the sole and exclusive remedy for Registered Participants shall be a full refund of Registration Fees (if any).
