Points

Base Points define the Tier and the benefits of the Member.

Reward Points can be used only for the purposes expressly specified in these Terms & Conditions. A Member can earn Reward Points by doing the following actions.

1. Every purchase done through the augmabio.com website or via the US office customer service (for U.S. customers only) rewards the Member in reward points.
2. Consumption of On-Demand Content. On-Demand courses can be taken multiple times but will reward the Member only once.
3. A Member will receive points when a non-registered member made a purchase directly from the referral link the Member shared.

Points should be updated under Member’s account within 24-48 hours after the action.

Shipping costs and taxes are not adding any Base and Reward points. Points will not be awarded on fraudulent, refunded or canceled transactions. If a product is returned for a refund, any Points earned or redeemed for the purchase will be handled in accordance with the return policy.

Points Conversion and Mechanism

Within each purchase the Member collects Base and Reward Points in the following formula.

Base Points Conversion – Every $1 spent, the Member receives 1 Base Point.

Reward Points Conversion –Every $1 spent, the Member receives a minimum of 5 Reward Points for a Member Tier, and a maximum of 10 Points for an Elite Member, excluding Points Promotions.

Reward Points used for Purchase Redemption – Every 150 Reward Points equal $1 value to purchase Augma via augmabio.com. There is a minimum of 5,000 Reward Points for achieving a qualifying purchase.

Points Redemption

Points that are collected through Augma Rewards can only be redeemed on the Augma website and not through a third-party. In addition, any product purchased through a third-party is not eligible for points on the Augma website or by Augma direct activity. In the US, Augma Rewards will also apply on purchases done through Augma’s US customer service office.

A qualifying purchase is available when the member has over 5,000 reward points.

Points have no cash value. Points may be accumulated to earn Members a discount on qualifying purchases.

Conversion and payment of Points into cash or gift cards is not possible. Points can only be redeemed in the Member’s country of residence.

It is not possible to redeem Points during the same transaction in which they are earned, unless otherwise specifically stated in the terms and conditions of an offer or promotion made by Augma.

Points can only be redeemed in the countries  where the Program is available.

If Points are credited to the Member’s Program Account by mistake, Augma has the right to cancel those points or remove such points from its account.

Augma will not tolerate deliberate or knowing misuse of such error by the Member, and such misuse may lead to immediate termination of the Member’s membership, and with that, loss of all earned Points, as well as a ban from future membership of the Program.

Augma has the right to terminate the Program membership or withdraw points and rewards.
