Any individual can apply to be a member if they are over the age of 18 years old. A membership can only be held by an individual. MarkBridge Jewellers may (in its absolute discretion) accept or refuse a membership application.

A member may terminate their membership at any time by advising us on info@mbjewellery.com. All Member Benefits are forfeited upon termination of the membership account.

2. Application

To become a member, you must fill out the online registration form. It is currently free to join the MarkBridge Jewellers VIP Program.

3. Member Benefits

When you become a member, you become eligible to receive a range of benefits (Member Benefits). Member Benefits may include discounts on products, special promotions, member pricing on selected products, events, offers and gift cards. These benefits may change frequently so we recommend that you read our communications to you and check these terms and conditions periodically. The value of any MarkBridge Jewellers gift card given as a Member Benefit is subject to change and is at MarkBridge Jewellers’ absolute discretion.

Members Benefits are made available to you personally, and cannot be transferred to another individual, used for a commercial purpose or be redeemed for cash. All Member Benefits, including accrued Member Benefits, are forfeited on termination of a membership, termination of a member benefit, termination of the MarkBridge Jewellers VIP Program or upon death of the member.

Where you are eligible to receive Member Benefits in a MarkBridge Jewellers store you must provide your details to the store attendant (including your name, email address or mobile number) to claim the Member Benefits.

Where you are eligible to receive Member Benefits on MarkBridge Jewellers online store, you will be advised how to do this as part of these offers.

MarkBridge Jewellers reserves the right to change, modify, limit, withhold, deny access to or cancel any of the Member Benefits at any time. This also includes changing the list of participating stores (if applicable). MarkBridge Jewellers is not required to provide you with notice of changes to the Member Benefits, unless such changes are materially detrimental to all members, or involve the introduction of fees and charges, in which case MarkBridge Jewellers will try to give members reasonable notice on the website or by email.

On occasion, members may be offered benefits from third parties who have a relationship with MarkBridge Jewellers. These offers are accepted by MarkBridge Jewellers in good faith as to the appropriateness of the offer for Members and the third party's ability to deliver the offer. MarkBridge Jewellers accepts no responsibility or liability regarding any offers provided to members by third parties.

4. Membership confirmation

MarkBridge Jewellers shall be entitled to assume that any person who presents themselves as a member and provides the correct information linked to a membership is in fact the member. MarkBridge Jewellers is then entitled to act in any appropriate matter regarding membership without taking further steps to verify the identity of the person.

Where MarkBridge Jewellers has been provided with the correct information linked to a membership, and has acted reasonably, MarkBridge Jewellers will not be responsible for any activity on that member account (including, but not limited to, the redemption of Member Benefits).

If you know or suspect (or should reasonably know or suspect) any unauthorised or fraudulent use of your membership, you must notify MarkBridge Jewellers as soon as possible.

5. Exclusions

Member Benefits may be subject to individual exclusions and conditions, such as a minimum spend and duration. These will be indicated to members through Loyalty Program communications or on the website.

Member Benefits are for the sole use of the member and must not be used for any commercial or other purpose (including not-for-profit associations).

6. Cancelling your membership

If at any time you would like to cancel your membership, please email info@mbjewellery.com. After you cancel your membership, you are no longer entitled to any Member Benefits, including any accrued Member Benefits. On cancellation of your membership, any unused Member Benefits will be forfeited.
