- (b) Dulux reasonably believes that a Loyalty Member or Authorised User has acted in a manner not permitted by these Terms; or
- (c) a Loyalty Member or Authorised User engages in (or Dulux reasonably suspects him/her of engaging in) any theft from or misconduct in connection with Dulux or any of its suppliers or a Retailer; or
- (d) a Loyalty Member or Authorised User supplies false or misleading information to Dulux or Dulux discovers that a Loyalty Member or Authorised User is not eligible to participate in the Program; or
- (e) a Loyalty Member or Authorised User is abusive or offensive to any member of Dulux’s or a Retailer’s staff.

If an Account is closed for any reason, all rights to spend the Points in that Account are lost.
Earning Points
- As a welcome gift from Dulux, new Accounts will be preloaded with 500 points in spend value upon acceptance of these Terms that may be spent on Dulux products in the Loyalty Member’s Home Store. A Loyalty Member can only avail of this gift once the Loyalty Card has been registered and can only avail of one such gift. The reissuance of a Loyalty Card will not qualify an Account for the gift.
- Points may be earned in the following ways: (i) a Loyalty Member or Authorised User must present his/her Loyalty Card at the checkout prior to completion of a purchase transaction which will then be scanned by the Dulux Loyalty Card reader; or (ii), in respect of credit purchases, the Loyalty Member must link his/her Retailer account number to their Account prior to completing an order from the relevant Retailer. Points cannot be earned once a purchase transaction is complete. It may take up to one week for Points to be added to a Loyalty Member’s Account.
- Points earned during a purchase transaction will only be allocated to the Loyalty Member’s Account once the purchase transaction is complete.
- Except as otherwise stated or advertised, for every €1 spent (excluding VAT) in a single purchase transaction on Dulux products (which includes the Dulux, Dulux Trade, Armstead, Polycell, Cuprinol, and Sikkens brands) in a participating Retailer, a Loyalty Member will earn one (1) Point for the relevant Account. At least €1 must be spent in order to qualify for 1 point. Points are awarded after any relevant discounts or promotions have been deducted from the entire purchase.
- Dulux may award additional Points for promotions/offers or other activities from time to time such as ‘test and tell’ programmes and attendance at events hosted by Dulux. Dulux may from time to time operate competitions and draws in relation to which separate terms and conditions shall apply.
- Products and ranges may be excluded from the Programme at any time and without prior notice and such changes will be at the discretion of Dulux or as may be directed by Irish or EU legislation.
- Points earned do not have any monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash.
- Dulux reserves the right to withdraw promotions/offers for additional Points without notice.
- Loyalty Members registered in the Republic of Ireland can only earn Points in Retailers outlets in the Republic of Ireland that are participating in the Programme.
Returning products/purchases
- If a Loyalty Member or Authorised User returns products/purchases which he/she has bought with cash, with credit/debit card or on credit terms (as agreed between the Loyalty Member and the Retailer) and presented his/her Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) during the purchase transaction, the Loyalty Member or Authorised User must present his/her Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) to the Retailer and the Retailer shall effect a deduction of the Points earned on the Account that relates to such returned products/purchases.
- If a Loyalty Member or Authorised User returns products/purchases in circumstances where he/she tendered for the products/purchases using Points on his/her Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) the Points will be re-allocated to the Loyalty Member’s Account.
- If a Loyalty Member or Authorised User exchanges products/purchases then Dulux is also entitled to cancel these Points, unless he/she exchanges for products/purchases with an equivalent Points value. If a Loyalty Member or Authorised User exchanges for products/purchases with a lower Points value then Dulux is entitled to deduct the balance of the Points from the Account that relates to such exchanged products/purchases.
Spending Points
- In order to be able to spend or use Points in the Home Store, a Loyalty Member must have registered his/her Account with Dulux and have earned a minimum of 500 Points. One (1) Point has a spend value of one (1) cent when used as a method of payment for products/purchases. Points can only be spent or used in the Loyalty Member’s Home Store. Certain Retailer stores may not be capable of deducting points from a Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) for technical reasons and in such circumstances the Loyalty Member must download and print a voucher from their online account to present in store to avail of the discount. A list of such Retailers will be contained on www.duluxtradepoints.ie or by calling the Dulux Help Desk Monday to Friday 9.30am to 5.30pm excluding public holidays (callers from the Republic of Ireland call: 01 893 4992 calls will be charged at standard rates).
- Points can be used as full or part payment against products/purchases in the Home Store. Points may also, where available, be redeemed against other rewards or vouchers via the website www.duluxtradepoints.ie or the Mobile App. The rewards and vouchers available from time to time may be renewed at www.duluxtradepoints.ie. Such rewards or vouchers will be sent to the Loyalty Member by post or email to the address registered to the Account. Additional terms and conditions might apply to such rewards or vouchers and by redeeming their points for such rewards or vouchers the Loyalty Member accepts such terms and conditions. Dulux accepts no liability for a Loyalty Member’s acceptance or use of a reward or voucher or for any expectations that may have been held in relation to such. To avail of points as part payment, a Loyalty Member or Authorised User must present the Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) in the Home Store before completing the purchase transaction.
- Upon spending Points, the appropriate number of Points will be removed from the Loyalty Member’s Account.
- If a Loyalty Member’s Account has been inactive (i.e. the Loyalty Member or his/her employee has not used his/her Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) to earn or spend Points) for a period of 12 months, Points or any spend value on the Account will expire and will be removed.
- Points are not earned on products/purchases for which full payment is made by spending Points. Where part payment is made by spending points, the value of points earned will be equal to the balance paid.
- Dulux reserves the right to reject any Loyalty Card (whether in physical form or via the Mobile App) that it reasonably determines has been forged or otherwise tampered with.
- Dulux reserve the right to replace the Promotion with one of equal or greater value in the event of unavailability due to circumstances beyond its control.
- By applying to participate in the Promotion all applicants/participants are deemed to have indicated acceptance of these terms and conditions.
- Insofar as permitted by law, Neither Dulux nor the Administrator, nor their respective agents or distributors will be responsible or liable to compensate the Loyalty Member or Authorised User or other bearer, or accept any liability, for any personal loss or injury occurring whilst participating in the Promotion. Neither can they guarantee the quality and/or availability of the services offered when participating in the Promotion and cannot be held liable for any resulting personal loss or damage.
