At Each Person, we believe it’s important for our members to understand how the Each Person shop can be used and how it interfaces with employee recognition. These are the terms of use. They tell you:
· What we specifically mean by the terms we use
· The rules for using the Each Person
· How the Each Person employee recognition scheme works
· It’s a summary of your rights and responsibilities – important stuff.
We’ve tried to make these terms as simple as possible to understand but please contact us if anything’s not clear. Please read these Terms of Use and check for updates as the latest version always applies. We’ll usually only make updates when we have to – for example, if we introduce a new element to the scheme or need to make changes to comply with new laws.
Before you become a member of Each Person, ensure that you have read these terms. Whenever you use our services, you agree to these terms of use. Usage of our service also indicates that you are satisfied with the conditions laid out in our Privacy and Cookies policy. If you haven’t already, we recommend that you read this as well as these Terms of Use.
If you break the rules listed here, we may suspend your membership or terminate your account or access to the platform. If this happens, you will lose access to your account’s on the Each Person shop and platform and won’t be able to redeem them for any rewards. Therefore, it’s important to understand these terms and be aware of the rules that you must follow.
Separate terms can apply when you:
a) Redeem a reward from a Retail Partner on the Each Person shop
When you redeem your Epoints for a reward, we order this reward through our network of Retail Partners and the item is delivered to your postal address or emailed to you. The Retail Partner will have their own terms covering warranty and your legal rights associated with owning the reward. We at Each Person are providing the redemption service provision for you and go to great lengths to ensure orders are placed smoothly and efficiently. The Retail Partner then fulfils the reward to you. A part of the Each Person redemption service provided is to be your point of contact in case you have any questions regarding your order and we can support and assist you in regards to matters that need resolving by the Retail Partner once a reward has reached you.
All rewards are subject to availability and if we are unable to source your reward from the listed retailer partner in the shop, we will attempt to fulfil your order with another retailer partner or provide a refund.
b) Choose to apply for any additional services
This includes instances such as entering a competition. If there are extra terms, we’ll always inform you of these and make these available to you.
To make the terms easier to understand we’ve listed out what we mean by the words we use to describe the scheme:
1. “Epoints”: Is the points currency used in the Each Person shop. Epoints have a set value which does not change. One Epoint is worth £0.005 (or 0.5p), so 200 Epoints are worth £1.00. Points are inclusive of VAT when sold directly to an Epoints Member and exclusive of VAT when sold to Employers using the Each Person recognition scheme.
2. “Member” or “You”: Any person registered with the Epoints reward scheme.
3. “Retail Partner”: We work with a number of Retail Partners who sell products through our Services in the Each Person shop or offer products, services and/or the ability to earn Epoints.
4. “Each Person”: Each Person is a recognition and reward scheme which helps Employers encourage recognition within their business through the sending of ecards to colleagues and, where appropriate, granting Epoints to Employees as a reward.
5. “We”, “Us” or “Our”: Use of these terms refers to Each Person.
6. “Website”: This refers to the Each Person official websites at www.eachperson.com & www.shop.eachperson.com
7. “Redemption Service Provision”: This refers to the significant undertaking of the Each Person business to source, manage, order, track, refund, update, re-order, cancel and support the Member in ordering Rewards through Retail Partners via a series of touchpoints including Live Chat, Email, and Phone number.
Here’s a summary of the rules in place to prevent you (and us) from getting into trouble. Breaches of these rules will result in your account being suspended or removed and you’ll lose your Epoints balance – please respect the rules as they’re here to make the scheme enjoyable for everyone!
The following rules apply to the whole of Each Person (if your Employer has enrolled you on Each Person for the purpose of your workplace recognition scheme).
· Do not try and cheat the scheme
By this, we mean do not carry out actions that the scheme wasn’t designed for or isn’t asking you to do such as:Hacking us or attempting to breach our security measures in any way.Tricking the scheme into giving you more Epoints than your actual usage warrants by any method or mean
· Do not harm or offend other people
This means that when you’re using the scheme, do not:
Damage our reputation by associating us with sexism, racism or any other type of discrimination
Harass or upset people using our ecard capability (for example, by using offensive or obscene language)
· Be yourself when using the scheme
Unless given express permission by Each Person, do not:
· Use a false identity or false contact details when using the scheme
· Use the scheme if you’re under 16 years old
· Use the scheme outside of the UK
· Recreate the scheme or copy the way it looks
· Use our brands, trademarks or logos
· Use or mention Each Person in press releases and other marketing materials
Registration to the scheme
In order to participate in the scheme you must register for an account. You can either register directly with Each Person:
You may register directly with Each Person providing you are:
· Over 16 years old
· Have an operational email address
· Have a valid UK postal address
Once you have registered with us, either directly or through a partner, you will receive a verification email to confirm your account. Clicking the link within the verification email allows you to set a password. Please keep this password safe as it’s required to access your account.
Collecting Epoints
· You can collect Epoints when you:
· Are a registered Epoints member
· Are logged in to your Epoints account
· Navigate to a Retail Partner website using a link on the Epoints website and complete a qualifying purchase If you do not click from a link on the Epoints website before completing your purchase, you will not collect Epoints for purchases made with our Retail Partners as we will not have been able to track your journey and thus, we do not know that it is you who has made the purchase.
· You can also collect Epoints for completing various activities on our website. The different ways to collect Epoints are advertised as part of the scheme.
· We reserve the right to amend the number of Epoints awarded for any activity, including purchases with our Retail Partners, at any time.
When you follow the correct steps and purchase with a Retail Partner, you will be awarded Epoints by us, not the Retail Partner, based upon the process outlined below:
· The Retailer Partner confirms that you successfully made a purchase.
· The time it takes for us to receive this confirmation varies depending on the retailer but you will receive an email from us informing you that the purchase was recorded and you have ‘pending Epoints’ in your account once this has been received. ‘Pending Epoints’ are not accessible to you to redeem at this stage
After 30 days, provided the Retail Partner doesn’t tell us that your purchase was declined or cancelled, your ‘Pending Epoints’ become ‘Confirmed Epoints’.
We will email you to confirm this and, from this point onwards, your Epoints are fully accessible and can be redeemed for rewards. We reserve the right to extend the amount of time that ‘pending Epoints’ remain in this state and, in certain cases, Epoints can remain pending for 120+ days.
Members can purchase Epoints at any time, either to top up their current balance for future purchases or as part of the shop checkout journey where they do not currently have enough Epoints to complete their purchase. Epoints are sold in bundled amounts and can be purchased using VISA, Mastercard or PayPal. We never store any credit or debit card details on our servers and payments are processed securely using SSL encryption, the same standard of security used at online banks and other major online retailers.
When members top-up their Epoints balance by purchasing Epoints they are buying them from Epoints Rewards Limited. Members doing so will see on their Bank Statements “Epoints Currency – 0118 979 6341”. Points sold in the top-up process are VAT inclusive to Epoints members and to businesses are VAT exclusive. VAT invoices are available upon request. Employers purchasing Epoints or paying for Membership for their employees will be charged plus VAT prices in all cases and are also being charged by Epoints Rewards Limited.
Redeeming Each Person for rewards
Once you’ve saved up enough Epoints, you may want to redeem these for a reward. You can do this by:
· Logging onto you Epoints account
· Searching, browsing and selecting the reward(s) you want (you must select a reward that you have enough Epoints to redeem)
· Adding the reward(s) to your basket and following the checkout process
· Your reward will be delivered to your postal address (or email address if applicable) within ten days, unless otherwise stated
If your reward does not arrive within ten working days or within the time stated upon placing your order, or if you have any problems with the reward being faulty upon receipt, please contact support@eachperson.com. Whilst each Retail Partner has their own terms of business, faulty items can be either returned and replaced or the Epoints can be refunded to your account, provided that any issues are raised with support@eachperson.com. within 30 days of your reward being redeemed.
We are committed to processing refunds as quickly as possible based upon the specific Retail Partner’s terms of business. We only work with leading Retail Partners in the UK who place customer service at the heart of their offering, meaning you will get any refund quickly and easily. Our refund period reflects those of each specific Retail Partner so you will receive the Epoints credited back to your account once the Retail Partner has processed the refund to us. You may then request to have the Epoints refunded directly to your bank account if you do not want to use the Epoints for future purchases. All rewards are subject to availability and if we are unable to source your purchase from the listed retailer in the shop, we will attempt to fulfil your order with another retailer at no extra cost to you. We reserve the right to refund your Epoints if the reward is out of stock or unavailable for any reason. We are not liable for any costs, claims, expenses, losses or damages that you may incur resulting from the rewards you redeem or for that of our Retail Partners.
Epoints Cashback is awarded when you purchase a product on the Each Person shop. The amount of Epoints Cashback given will vary by retailer up to 20% of the amount of money you pay from your debit or credit card. Epoints cannot be held accountable and are not liable for any Epoints Cashback variance. If you notice any discrepancies between the amount of Epoints Cashback stated versus the amount you receive, please contact us and we will investigate the issue as soon as possible.
A key part of our role is in the redemption service we provide so if you have questions about the status of an order, are unhappy with the item or change your mind upon receiving the item contact our dedicated support centre who will endeavour to resolve the issue in accordance with the retail partner websites terms of business.
Donating your Epoints
We believe that climate change is the single most important issue in the world and that Each Person members can make a real difference. That is why we make it easy to donate points to support climate change initiatives. The points given will be paid in full to the cause(s) we are promoting on the Each Person websites. These payments may be made on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the Eco-project partner. Each Person will endeavour to update Members on the use of funds and the impact they are having on climate change. Each Person will update the website with such information.
Keeping your Epoints
We don’t want you to lose your Epoints if you’re an active member but, in the event that your account does not earn any Epoints for a period of two years, the account will be closed and any Epoints on the account will be lost to the member.
We want the scheme to be fun so we may run competitions or prize draws from time to time and give members the chance to win Epoints. You will never have to pay us to enter a prize draw and any opportunity to win will be randomly generated. Our prize draws and giveaways do not constitute Gambling and do not fall under the Gambling Act 2015.
If we believe a member has broken the rules to win, their account will be suspended whilst we investigate and may be closed if we find that the rules have not been followed.
Registration to the scheme
Your Employer will enrol you as part of their company-wide recognition scheme. You will be required to activate your account which you may opt out of doing. Otherwise, you will be added in and your colleagues will be able to use the various functions to show you how appreciated you are at work.
Giving and Receiving Recognition
Once signed in to Each Person you can give recognition using Ecards, or if your Employer has enabled it via a nomination. Colleagues can also give these things to you. Sometimes recognition can also be accompanied by a reward through the Epoints scheme. Any questions regarding how recognition works at your company contact your HR Department.
Below is a quick recap, and a few additional legal points:
If you use the scheme on behalf of a business, that business agrees to these terms. This means that your business must abide by these terms.

WHAT THESE TERMS COVER
· These are the general terms and conditions (the “Terms”) which apply to the purchase and use of any Epoints membership tier (the “Membership”).
· Please read them carefully before you purchase a Membership or activate any Membership option.
· By purchasing or activating a Membership option, members agree to abide by these Terms and accept that they shall have all applicable rights and obligations as set forth in them.
· If you have any questions about the Membership or these Terms, please contact us by emailing support@eachperson.com.

OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MEMBERSHIP WILL, FROM TIME TO TIME, BE MODIFIED TO MEMBERS WITH AT LEAST ONE MONTH’S NOTICE
· These Terms apply to the person purchasing the Membership (the “Purchaser”/“Sponsor”) and the person who uses the Membership (the “Member”).
· In many cases, Memberships may be purchased on behalf of others by their workplace (the “Employer”) as an employee benefit or any other company or brand (the “Sponsor”) offering Membership to its users as a benefit. In these cases, the Employer and Sponsor may fund the Membership in full or in part.If you are both the Purchaser and the Member, then a single contract governing the purchase and use of the Membership is formed between you and us at the point when you complete the sign-up process for your chosen Membership tier.
· If the Purchaser and the Member are different persons, then:the contract governing the purchase of the Membership is formed between us and the Purchaser at the point that they complete purchase of a Membership or indirectly via a Sponsor or Employer Sponsor, andthe contract governing the use of the Membership by the Member is formed between us and the Member at the point at which the Membership is successfully activated.If we cannot accept your Membership purchase or if the proposed Member is ineligible for Membership in accordance with these Terms, we will refund any amounts paid for the Membership and not take any further payment from the Purchaser.
· The Membership is only available to Members who are aged 16 or over and resident in the UK. Both Epoints and Members can terminate Membership, with one month’s notice, which can be served by email. If a material breach of terms by the Member, Epoints may deactivate the Member account with immediate effect.

· Opening and closing a Membership more than once in a three-month period;
· Allowing someone else to use your Membership;
· Claiming a refund for one Membership and then setting up another account with the same contact and/or delivery details to exploit this feature;
· Creating multiple accounts with the same contact and/or delivery details to exploit a free trial.
· Please be aware that if this kind of activity occurs we may suspend your Membership (in accordance with Clause 9) whilst we check how the Membership is being used and we will work in good faith to resolve any such dispute in a timely manner.
WHAT YOU GET WITH EPOINTS MEMBERSHIP
· As an Each Person Member you will receive, at a minimum, the following benefits:
· Additional 10% Epoints Cashback on all eligible purchases made from the Epoints shop (applied on top of any retailer discounts off RRP).
· Access to our price comparison savings technology focused on searching the best price on a variety of popular big ticket brand products.
· Access to our “Collect” Epoints feature, allowing members to get Epoints Cashback when shopping with selected retailers directly.

· If despite taking all reasonable care, the correct price for the Membership on the date your Membership is purchased is higher than the price stated online, we will contact you for your instructions. If a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel the Membership and refund you any sums you have paid
· You will need to pay upfront for a recurring Annual Membership, unless a monthly option is available. You may be required to pay an upfront Joining Fee on the date that you purchase your Membership. This Joining Fee will only apply to a Member’s first Membership subscription, not to any subsequent subscriptions.
· If you want to change the account details from which your payment is taken, you can do so via your Epoints profile but this should be done at least 5 days prior to your next payment date.
· Members utilising the optional remuneration credit facility (to be introduced by some Employers) will not be eligible for an extra 10% Epoints award, but will be eligible for the Epoints Cashback based upon the purchase value of the reward.
· Some Members, sponsored by their employer, may be able to top up their Epoints account, either by direct payment to their Employer, or as an optional remuneration deduction from salary.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
· We may transfer any contract made under these Terms to someone else. We may also transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation.

As a result, only Members have the right to enforce the Terms of the applicable contract once it is activated. There is no need for us to get the consent of any person that is not a party to the contract in order to end the Membership or to agree any changes to these Terms.
· If a court finds part of these Terms non-enforceable, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately so if any court or relevant authority decides that any specific term is unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

· Neither Each Person nor its Members shall be liable for any delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, floods, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, earthquake or other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of either party.
· In no eventuality will either Each Person or any of its Members be liable to each other for loss of profits, revenue or data or any incidental, consequential, direct, indirect, punitive or special damages, whether or not either party had advance notice of the possibility of such losses or damages.
· These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in the English courts.
