3. EARNING POINTS:
To be eligible to earn Points, Affiliates must:
- (a) be registered in the Program; and
- (b) register Referrals on their Account.
Points earned from sales to Referrals that are not captured upon that sale may be retroactively applied to the Affiliate’s Account at the sole discretion of ASL.
Points can be earned in one or more of the following ways:

- (b) Flex Points Program: Affiliates can earn Points through all other methods of earning Points through the Flex Points Program, as set out in the Flex Points terms and conditions as amended from time to time.
Points are awarded on a monthly basis and are only applicable to active Accounts paid within ASL’s Credit Terms. Accounts that are thirty (30) days past due will only receive fifty percent (50%) of the total Points earned during the month. Points will not be awarded on Accounts more than sixty (60) days past due. Any Account that becomes ninety (90) days past due will have all its Points dissolved from the Account, which Points will not be reinstated under any circumstances. ASL reserves the right to withhold Points on Accounts in arrears.
Points have no cash value and are non-transferable. Points will not be issued retroactively except at the sole discretion of ASL.
4. REDEEMING POINT:
Points may be redeemed for merchandise, travel and other rewards* 1. Points values for ASL products purchased may change at any time without notice.

All eligible Points redemptions must be accompanied by a completed Flex Points Reward Claim Form. Flex Points Reward Claim Forms are available at all Andrew Sheret Limited or Splashes branches. Points may also be redeemed through the Portal. ASL will reimburse you for the cost of the chosen product. 1 Disbursement of a claimed amount will take four (4) to six (6) weeks from submission.
Points redemptions made through an Affiliate’s Portal account will be considered to have been authorized by that Affiliate. ASL is not liable for any unauthorized activity on an Affiliate’s Portal account. It is the sole responsibility of Affiliates to keep their Portal login credentials secure.
All Points redemptions are subject to ASL’s approval at its sole discretion.
Accounts will not be permitted to go into a negative Points value when Points are redeemed. Should an Account not have the required Points for the chosen Reward, Affiliates will be required to pay the difference.
