2.4 There is no limit on the number of Points you can earn.

Earning Purchase Points:

2.5 You can earn one (1) point for every one pound (£1) spent (using any payment method available) on Axminster Tools products on the website. Points are rounded down; for example if you spend £2.50, you will receive 2 Points.

2.6 Purchase Points can be earned on orders where a discount or voucher is applied, however the purchase Points earned will be calculated based on the amount actually paid (not the value of the order before the discount/voucher was applied).

2.7 Points earned for a purchase that is subsequently the subject of a return, cancellation, refund or rejection due to insufficient funds will be deducted from the member's account in an amount equal to the Points earned for the original transaction.

2.8 Purchase Points will appear in your Account following full dispatch of the product(s) in your order. Orders cancelled prior to full dispatch will receive no Points.

2.9 Points earned are inclusive of VAT but exclude delivery charges.

2.10 Points are earned on all purchases (unless stated otherwise), except for physical Gift Cards and E-Gift Cards.

2.11 Points are earned online on purchases for delivery to the UK from our UK store. Points cannot be earned for purchases made in-store, by telephone or via our online Trade Account and International website stores.

3. Redeeming Points

3.1 Points earned by a member may be redeemed for discounts on any eligible product order on the website provided a member is:

1. using a minimum of 100 Points; and
2. (for product purchases only) placing an order with a value of £60 or more (excluding delivery charges).

3.2 Points can only be used once, and only for purchases made after you have received the Points into your Account. Please note, it may take several hours following the relevant full order dispatch or action for the corresponding Points to appear in your Account.

3.3 Following your redemption of Points for a discount, those Points will be removed from your Account. Axminster Tools accepts no responsibility in the event that Points are lost or redeemed by an unauthorised third party following your failure to keep your Account/password details secure and/or confidential.

3.4 Points have no cash redemption value and cannot be exchanged for cash payouts. Points must be used as part payment towards products on the website.

3.5 You can use Points to claim a discount code based on the following scale:

1. 100 Points = £5.00 discount; minimum order value £60
2. 200 Points = £10.00 discount; minimum order value £120
3. 300 Points = £15.00 discount; minimum order value £150 and
4. 400 Points = £20.00 discount; minimum order value £200.

3.6 Points can only be redeemed for the applicable discount code in quantities of 100, 200, 300 or 400 (see above).

3.7 You can redeem one discount code per purchase transaction on the website (no discount code stacking is permitted unless stated otherwise), and the value of the discount must meet the minimum order value associated with that discount (excluding delivery charges). For example, for a purchase with a value of £100, you would only be able to redeem 100 Points for a discount of £5.00 (regardless of whether you held over 200 Points in your Account). Following redemption of Points for a discount code, any excess Points still held by that member following redemption will be retained in that member’s Account.

3.8 Your ability to redeem Points is subject to product availability.

3.9 A discount code may be only applied against the purchase price of eligible products and cannot be applied against delivery charges.

3.10 Discount code rewards cannot be used to purchase the following ineligible products; physical Gift Cards, E Gift Cards or Shaper Tooling products. Ineligible products may be specific to individual discount codes and we reserve the right to add or amend ineligible products against a reward at any time.

3.11 A maximum of 400 Points can be redeemed in a single transaction. Axminster Tools may, at its discretion, modify this limit on the maximum number of Points redeemable in a single transaction.

3.12 To claim a discount, you must manually add the discount code from your Account page or Basket to the applicable order. A discount may not be automatically applied to any order.

3.13 Each discount code reward can only be used once towards the partial or full payment of goods, with no refunds given for unused portions.

3.14 ALL POINTS WILL EXPIRE AFTER 12 MONTHS OF ACCOUNT INACTIVITY. After this expiry date, all unused Points will be deleted from your Account and you will no longer be able to redeem them. No reminder will be provided to you prior to expiry of any Points

3.15 For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a period of ‘account inactivity’ shall mean a period during which there is no change to the Account’s point balance (i.e. you have not earned, or redeemed, any Points). Expiry of Points or change of personal details is not considered as account activity.

3.16 ALL UNSPENT DISCOUNT CODE REWARDS WILL EXPIRE AFTER 12 MONTHS FROM ISSUE. After Points have been redeemed and a discount code reward issued, the resulting discount code must be spent within 12 months prior to expiry else its resulting value will be forfeited. No reminder will be provided to you prior to expiry of your discount code rewards. We reserve the right to invalidate discount codes at any time and without warning.

3.17 Points cannot be redeemed in combination with other existing or recurring discount codes.
