V. PROGRAM STRUCTURE
For each Program Period:
A. Once a Customer has enrolled in Dechra Rewards through Vetcove's website and made one qualifying purchase of an activation brand, they are eligible for a 1% rebate on all qualified purchases of products listed in each of the respective categories (each, a "Growth Category" and collectively "Growth Categories", excluding endocrine products and Osphos
®) and will be eligible to qualify for additional rebates based on qualified purchases as set forth in its account-specific Program. This 1% reward is identified as Tier 1 in each of the Growth Category rebate tier structures. For product breakdown within each category, visit your customized
Dechra Rewards program page here and click on "View Qualifying Items."
B. Customers will become eligible for additional rebates within each Growth Category after they have made (i) an activation purchase and (ii) made qualifying purchases to reach their initial spend goal in that Growth Category. Initial spend goals will vary by Customer based on past purchase volume. Customers can view their applicable spend goal within their loyalty tracker on the Vetcove website. These additional rebates are identified as Tier 2 in each of the Growth Categories.
C. After earning all Tier 2 rebates in a respective product category, a Customer will have additional spend goals for that Growth Category to earn up to 15% in rewards. The rewards tier immediately following Tier 2 is Tier 3 for that given category.
D. A Customer is eligible for bonus rewards on endocrine product and Osphos
® purchases based on the number of categories in which they reach Tier 3, as defined above.
E. In addition to the foregoing, Dechra may from time to time make available to Customers additional or accelerated rebate opportunities, as communicated to Customer in its account-specific Program, up to a maximum rebate of 15%. Whether to offer additional or accelerated rebate opportunities, and the terms thereof, are in the sole discretion of Dechra and nothing herein shall obligate Dechra to offer any such opportunities.
F. Each Customer's spend goals and applicable tier placement will be determined by Dechra, in its sole discretion, and based upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, Customer's past purchase volume and purchase data. Dechra reserves the right to alter, limit, or modify the tier rules, regulations, benefits, availability, eligibility, or any other feature of a particular tier at any time in its sole discretion. As between Dechra and Vetcove on one hand, and Customer on the other hand, all interpretations of the Program rules are at Dechra's and Vetcove's sole discretion, and Dechra's and Vetcove's decisions are final.
