Waves de La Mer is La Mer's loyalty program operated by Estee Lauder (Hong Kong) Limited and Estee Lauder (Macau) Limited ("La Mer Hong Kong," "we," "our" or "us").

The Program is available to individuals who are at least 18 years or older who provide and maintain a valid email address or mobile phone number. Employees of The Estée Lauder Companies and individuals employed by our business partners or vendors are not eligible to participate in the Program. No purchase is necessary to join the Program. The Program may not be used for any business or commercial purpose.

You can join the Waves de La Mer by signing up with a store associate in a Concept Store or Counter operated by La Mer Hong Kong and Macau (collectively "Counters", and each a "Store"), or at www.lamer.com.hk  (“Online”) and following the prompts to register. You will need to provide your full name, mobile number, email address, birth month and location in order to enroll. If you are enrolling at www.lamer.com.hk, you understand that your personal data is being collected on an open network which may not have sufficient security measures. You will also have the opportunity to provide us with your preferred salutation, mailing address and age group, but this information is optional. If you enroll at Online, you must also create a password in order to enroll. There is no cost to join.

The Program is a tier-based program determined by the qualifying spend on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, calculated every July 1 to June 30 (each period in which you accumulate qualifying spending and activities, a "Qualifying Year"). Your first Qualifying Year begins on the date which you enrol in the Program and ends on the upcoming June 30. Each subsequent Qualifying Year for the Program begins on July 1 and ends on the following June 30.

There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:

• Tier 1, Marine $0 – $11,999
• Tier 2, Aquamarine $12,000 – $29,999
• Tier 3, Ultramarine $30,000 or above

When you join in the first Qualifying Year, you'll automatically be placed in Tier 1, Marine, and will be eligible for all the benefits that Tier 1, Marine members receive. Once you spend at least $12,000 on eligible purchases in your first Qualifying Year, you'll be automatically moved up to Tier 2, Aquamarine. When you spend $30,000 or more on eligible purchases in your first Qualifying Year, you'll be qualified for Tier 3, Ultramarine.

Your status in a particular tier is good for the remainder of the Qualifying Year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full Qualifying Year. After that, you'll need to spend enough to qualify for that tier on a yearly basis subsequently. For example:

• if you qualify for Tier 2, Aquamarine, during your first Qualifying Year, you'll maintain Aquamarine status during your second Qualifying Year. But, if you spend less than $12,000 on eligible purchases during your second Qualifying Year, you'll drop back down to Tier 1, Marine status starting on your third Qualifying Year;
• if you qualify for Tier 3, Ultramarine, during your first Qualifying year, you'll maintain Ultramarine status during your second Qualifying Year. But, if you spend less than $12,000 on eligible purchases during your second Qualifying Year, you'll drop back down to Tier 1, Marine status starting on your third Qualifying Year.

You are able to earn points and also unlock Program loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Program actions. You will receive at least 1 point for every HK$1 or MOP$1 spent on qualifying purchases in any Concept Store or Counter or at www.lamer.com.hk and in addition to these purchases, we may offer more ways to earn and/or accelerate your points from time to time.

At different point levels, you are eligible to redeem some or all of these points for product rewards of certain retail value.
