INTRODUCTION
The Customer Loyalty Membership Programme (the "Programme") is offered by Decathlon Sports Ireland Ltd ("Decathlon Ireland"), incorporated and registered in Ireland with the company number 589659 whose registered office is at Decathlon, Saint Margaret’s Road, Dublin 11, Dublin, D11X2NC, Ireland.
Decathlon Ireland is part of the Decathlon Group controlled by Decathlon SE, a privately owned company incorporated in France with the Lille RCS Metropole under the company number 306 138 900 whose registered office is at 4 Boulevard de Mons, 59650 Villeneuve d’Ascq, France.
By joining the Programme, you accept these terms and conditions (“T&Cs”).

JOINING THE PROGRAMME
The Programme is open to all residents in Ireland aged 18 years or over with legal capacity.
Sports clubs, associations, companies, works councils and similar organisations are excluded from participating in the Programme.
By joining the Programme, you confirm that you are eligible to become a Programme member (the “Member”).
The Programme is part of the Decathlon Ireland account scheme. To join the Programme and become a Member, you must create an online Decathlon Ireland account on the following website: www.Decathlon.ie. You may also join the Programme in any of the Decathlon Ireland stores.
All active Decathlon Ireland account holders become Members automatically and their online accounts are upgraded with the Programme automatically.
Joining the Programme is free of charge, with the exception of any Internet connection or mobile data costs, which may be incurred by you when accessing and using the www.Decathlon.ie. website and/or the Decathlon application. Such extra costs are the sole responsibility of each Member.
Each Member can only register for the Programme once. The Programme membership is strictly personal and cannot benefit another person. The Member may neither give nor lend their electronic membership card to a third party. In case of doubt, Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to request a proof of ID to verify the identity of the Member and, where the identity check produces unsatisfactory results, Decathlon Ireland may decide not to award loyalty points or other benefits linked to the Programme membership.
To open an online Decathlon account, you will be required to complete the following mandatory fields:
* Gender
* First name
* Surname
* A valid email address
* Date of birth
* Communication and marketing preferences
As a Programme Member, you will be responsible for the accuracy of the information you have shared with Decathlon Ireland.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Membership card
An electronic membership card will be emailed to each new Member upon completion of their registration. The card can also be accessed via the Decathlon application and on the www.Decathlon.ie website. The card is personal and non-transferrable and each Member undertakes to use it according to the T&Cs of the Programme.

Returns policy
Members can benefit from Decathlon Ireland’s 365-day returns policy, the conditions of which are available in Decathlon Ireland stores and online on the Decathlon Ireland Returns Policy | Decathlon Ireland website.

Earning loyalty points
Members earn 10 points per 1 Euro spent on their purchase of products sold and shipped by Decathlon Ireland in one of the participating Decathlon Ireland stores or on the www.Decathlon.ie website (the “Product”). Decathlon Ireland gift cards, delivery charges and Decathlon Marketplace products are excluded and Members will not earn any loyalty points for their purchase.
To collect loyalty points for purchases of Products made online, each Member will be required to log in to their online Decathlon Ireland account.
To collect loyalty points for purchases of Products made in participating Decathlon Ireland stores, Members must either scan their membership card at the checkout, or present it to a Decathlon Ireland store employee, at the time of each purchase. Decathlon Ireland will be under no obligation to award any loyalty points retrospectively after the purchase.
If you return a Product and request a full or partial refund from Decathlon Ireland, the loyalty points corresponding to the refunded amount will be deducted from your loyalty points balance. Where your remaining balance is insufficient, the balance will be updated to a negative figure.

Vouchers
Every Member who has earned 3000 loyalty points has the option of converting these points into a Decathlon Ireland voucher worth 5 Euro and valid for 12 months from the date of issue. To convert loyalty points into a voucher, Members must log in to their online Decathlon Ireland account and follow the instructions provided in the loyalty points section.
The voucher must be used only by the Member of the Programme who is a Decathlon Ireland account holder and who has earned loyalty points under their Decathlon Ireland account and who has triggered the creation of the voucher. That Member may use the voucher for purchases made online through their online Decathlon Ireland account or for purchases in Decathlon Ireland stores in accordance with these T&Cs.
Each voucher must be redeemed in full for a product sold and distributed by Decathlon Ireland so that the voucher is deducted from the purchase price, and thus reducing the actual total amount to be paid and by doing so effectively invalidating the voucher.
The voucher must be redeemed in full in a single transaction. Where the product purchase value is less than the voucher value, the unused voucher balance will be lost. For the avoidance of the doubt, Decathlon Ireland will not be liable for any losses or compensation in this regard.
The voucher is non-transferable and only the Member redeeming their loyalty points is entitled to use it in accordance with these T&Cs.
The voucher can only be redeemed for products as specified above. Services, home delivery, package delivery and any other non-product related transactions are excluded. The voucher cannot be exchanged for cash.

One-Off Offers and Short-Term Missions
Decathlon Ireland may run one-off commercial offers and short-term missions allowing Members to earn additional loyalty points.
Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to change this loyalty points earning mechanism at its sole discretion at any time, without giving a reason or a prior notice.

Other advantages
Decathlon Ireland may provide further offers and benefits at its sole discretion from time to time. Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to supplement the benefits included in the Programme, in particular with services offered by internal and/or external partners.
These advantages are subject to the specific conditions of the Programme and to the conditions of Decathlon Ireland partners. These benefits may vary depending on the Decathlon Ireland store chosen by the Member when registering and/or creating their online Decathlon Ireland account.
Members will receive personalised offers from Decathlon Ireland if they have opted in to receive email and marketing communication from Decathlon Ireland. These personalised offers will include important information about the lifecycle of their points and rewards, special communications for benefits updates.
Additionally, Decathlon Ireland  may send service messages to all Members from time to time irrespective of their marketing communication preferences. These service messages will contain important information, for example, about the lifecycle and expiration of the Points, rewards as well as benefits updates.

HOW TO USE POINTS
The accumulation of loyalty points on purchased Products starts as soon as a Member joins the Programme. Decathlon Ireland is under no circumstances required to allocate any loyalty points for purchases made prior to the Member joining the Programme.
Members can check their current loyalty points balance on the here website.
Members may spend their loyalty points on the www.Decathlon.ie website and in Decathlon Ireland stores. To do so, Members will be required to log in to their online Decathlon Ireland account and convert their loyalty points into a voucher to be able to make an online purchase. To use their voucher in participating Decathlon Ireland stores, Members must either scan their voucher and membership card at the checkout, or present them to a Decathlon Ireland store employee at the time of purchase.
Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to change or terminate the loyalty points earning mechanism at its sole discretion at any time, without giving a reason or a prior notice.
The collected loyalty points will be valid for 12 months, and therefore Members must use them within 12 months from the collection date.

FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY
Members, who notice any suspicious or fraudulent activity in relation to their Programme membership account and/or card, must notify Decathlon Ireland about it immediately, failing which any such an activity will be attributed directly to the Member on the grounds specified in the paragraph below.
In the event that a Member does not comply with the current T&Cs of the Programme, uses the Programme in bad faith or if Decathlon Ireland detects any fraudulent use of the Programme by the Member or any third party, Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to cancel the respective Programme membership at its sole discretion. As a result, the Member will no longer be able to benefit from the loyalty points acquired during the Programme membership. For the avoidance of the doubt, Decathlon Ireland will not be liable for any losses or compensation in this regard.

PERSONAL DATA
Decathlon Ireland is processing your personal information as set out in the Decathlon Ireland’s Privacy Policy available on its Personal Data & Cookies section of the Decathlon Ireland website.
Each Member is responsible for the accuracy of their personal data shared with Decathlon Ireland. 
Members can update their personal information by logging in to the online Decathlon  account on the www.Decathlon.ie website.

UNSUBSCRIPTION AND TERMINATION
Decathlon Ireland reserves the right to terminate the Programme in its entirety and at its sole discretion, at any time and without giving a reason. Decathlon Ireland will make reasonable efforts to notify all the relevant Programme Members in advance. 
Upon any such a Programme termination, all loyalty points will be permanently lost with no option of recovery or reimbursement by Decathlon Ireland.
Decathlon Ireland may, at any time, decline to issue, withdraw, cancel or terminate an individual Decathlon Ireland membership account and/or remove an account holder where Decathlon Ireland reasonably believes that the account and/or the account holder has been associated with theft, misconduct, abusive or offensive behaviour or with supplying false or misleading information to Decathlon Ireland.
The Programme is a free service associated with the Decathlon customer account. Members wishing to unsubscribe must delete their online Decathlon account by contacting our customer support via the Customer Service website.
As soon as you unsubscribe from the Programme and delete your online Decathlon account, your loyalty points and rewards will be permanently deleted with no option of recovery.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, Decathlon Ireland, shall not be liable to compensate Members or accept any responsibility for any loss, damage, personal injury, or death arising from participation in the Membership, except where such liability cannot be legally excluded, such as in cases of negligence resulting in personal injury or death, or other situations where exclusion of liability is prohibited under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 or other applicable Irish legislation.
