It will also be possible to accumulate extra Hearts by completing previously planned activities ("Experiences"). Instructions for enrolling in the Program and how to accumulate Hearts are described below.

4.1 PROGRAM REGISTRATION
To take part into the Program, Participants must:

Go to www.illy.com and navigate to the section dedicated to the ILLY LOVERS Program, (the "Site") or download the ILLY App (the "App").
Read and agree to the Terms, review the privacy policy , and fill in the personal data form.

Upon registration, the Participant is enrolled in the Program and can enjoy special advantages, as well as earn Hearts. Each customer may register only once within the Validity Period. Multiple, false, fictitious, or third-party registrations will not be accepted and will disqualify Participants from the Program.

4.2. POINT ACCRUAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Participants can accrue Hearts as follows. The Hearts balance will be available in the Personal Area within the time allotted as shown below.

Basic mode (purchasing illy products)
During the Program Validity Period, Participants will accrue 1 Hearts for every $1 spent purchasing illy products on the www.illy.com website or at the Participating Stores. Please note that the Participants also will accrue Hearts for every $1 spent purchasing Gift Cards (i.e., $100 Gift Card = 100 Hearts).

Please note that:

For purchases to be registered, Participants must log in to their account (either via the Site or App) when purchasing products online or show their loyalty code (on the Program enrollment card) during check-out at Participating Stores.
If Participants do not log into the Site or show their card at Participating Stores when they make a purchase, they will not earn Hearts.
Participants purchasing gift cards will accrue Hearts.
Hearts credits should accrue within 3–5 days from purchase. Lead times may vary for online purchases.
Hearts will be erased if an order is cancelled or returned. The Heart balance will be updated within 7 working days from an illy.com order cancellation/return or a Participating Store purchase same-day receipt cancellation.

The Hearts accrual is related to the actual amount paid (plus tax) by the Participant, less the discounts, gift cards, and/or promotions. For example, if a Participant pays $8.00 for a $10.00 product because of a 20% discount, then he or she will accrue 8 Hearts.

Experiences
Participants will be invited to complete Experiences to accumulate extra Hearts during the Validity Period. Experiences may consist of actions related to purchases (e.g., purchases on different channels, purchases of certain products, repeated purchases in a given period, etc.) or online actions (via the app, social media, quizzes, etc.)

Active Experiences will be published on illy.com (in the applicable section) and in the App and, for each of these locations, the corresponding number of Hearts will be indicated.
Please note that:
•   Between one hour and 3 working days is needed for the Hearts accrual to be reported upon completion of an Experience.
•   Experience-awarded Hearts will automatically be added to standard Hearts.
•   The Promoter reserves the right to update, supplement, or modify the Experiences, the actions associated with them, and the relative number of Hearts awarded to Participants.

5.   LEVELS AND BENEFITS
Upon reaching defined Heart thresholds, Participants will be entitled to special benefits, offers, and gifts ("Benefits"). The Program provides 3 different levels based on the number of accrued Hearts:

First Level - From 0 to 400: EXPLORER
Second Level - From 401 to 900: MASTER
Third Level - +901: AMBASSADOR

Each level comes with special Benefits that vary by type, conditions, and level of discount. For example: a First level award could be a one-time 20% off discount on the third order; a Second level awards the same discount 3 times, while a Third level awards the discount 5 times. Benefits may include, but are not limited to, percentage discounts, free shipping, vouchers, free returns, etc.   The full list of Benefits associated with each level can be found in the appropriate section of the Site and on the dedicated App.

The Benefits referred to in this Program will be available exclusively in the United States of America, as indicated by specific instructions. Hearts have no cash value and are not transferable, and do not constitute the property of the Participant. Participants do not have any ownership rights in accrued Program Benefits and accrued Program Benefits do not constitute property of the Participant. Participants are expected to consult the terms and conditions of the Benefits and verify the availability of related products and services. Benefits in one level cannot be combined with those earned in the previous level.

Upon enrollment in the Program, Participants will immediately acquire the Explorer Level and will, therefore, be entitled to all Benefits associated with that level. By accruing Hearts in the manner indicated above, Participants will be entitled to reach the thresholds relating to the higher levels and more Benefits. Accrued Hearts will reset every year on December 31 during the Validity Period of the Program. Participant Heart balances will be rest to 0 on January 1 during the Validity Period, however, Participants will keep the status they achieved during the previous year with all its relative Benefits.

For example: a Participant who achieved 500 Hearts and has reached a second level on 12.31.2021 will have zero Hearts on 01.01.2022, but will keep all Benefits of the second level status in 2022.

The Validity Period Hearts will be reset to zero at the end of the Validity Period unless such period is extended. Awarded Benefits can be enjoyed until June 30, 2023 after which they will expire, unless prohibited by law.
