Through the Rewards Program, you may be offered the opportunity to earn points (“Points”) through the McCormick Flavor Maker App (the “App”) for purchasing certain McCormick product and registering such product, logging a meal planning preference, indicating certain recipes made, and other activities that may be specified by Company, and redeem them for rewards (“Rewards”), as further detailed in these terms and conditions (the “Loyalty Program Terms and Conditions,” or the “Program Rules”). This Agreement, which includes these Loyalty Program Terms and Conditions, govern the Rewards Program and the Company’s relationships with Members of the Program. Any reference to “you” or “your” in these Program Rules means the person participating in the Program. Your participation in the Program is expressly conditioned upon your compliance with this Agreement and with all present and future Program Rules, terms, regulations, policies, and procedures that Company may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time. Program Rules are void where prohibited by law. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.  Capitalized terms not defined within these Program Rules have the meanings set forth in elsewhere in the Terms of Use.

 

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, USING THE APP, AND/OR BY OTHERWISE PARTICIPATING IN ANY PROGRAM-RELATED ACTIVITIES OR INCENTIVES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE LOYALTY PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE LOYALTY PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE UNITED STATES LAWS AND REGULATIONS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM OR USE THIS APP IN ANY WAY.

 

Company has the sole discretion to interpret and apply the Program Rules, and all questions or disputes regarding these Program Rules will be resolved by Company in its discretion. Neither the Program nor any Reward or benefit offered by the Program creates, constitutes, or gives rise to any legal or contractual rights by Members against Company and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates.  Company and/or the Reward providers may modify, suspend, cancel, or terminate the Program (with or without notice), remove any Reward, change the requirements for membership and/or earning Rewards, and/or the terms and conditions applicable to any specific Reward, at any time and without notice. Rewards may vary depending on the Program Rules at the time of access, and are subject to availability.

The Program is offered only to individuals who, at the time of sign-up, (a) are residents of the United States, including D.C., (b) are at least 18 years of age or older (19 years of age in Alabama or Nebraska), and (c) who have an active Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account (each, an “Eligible Member” or “Member” or “you”). If you do not have a Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account, you can create one for free at https://www.mccormick.com/flavorprofile#signup. Employees, officers and directors of Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as sales representatives, suppliers, distributors, consultants, advertising, public relations, promotional, fulfillment, and marketing agencies or contractors of any of the above organizations, including any entities engaged in the development, execution or fulfillment of this Rewards Program, and immediate family members and/or persons living in the same household as such individuals, are not eligible to participate in this Rewards Program or any related sweepstakes or incentive. Only individuals who are legally competent to enter into contracts are eligible for Rewards Program Membership (“Membership”); corporations, groups and/or associated entities cannot enroll as Rewards Program Members. Company reserves the right to limit the number of Members in the Program. If you are not eligible to participate, you are prohibited from accessing, using, and registering for the Rewards Program.

The Rewards Program is offered exclusively to users of the App with an active Flavor Maker Flavor Profile Account; if you are not a user of the App with an active Flavor Maker Flavor Profile Account, you will not be eligible to join the Rewards Program.

3. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION

To participate in the Rewards Program, you must have a device that can access the Internet.  In order to access and use the Rewards Program, and complete the following steps:

A. First, you must have an active Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account. If you do not have a Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account, you can either (1) sign up and create one for free online by going to https://www.mccormick.com/flavorprofile#signup and following the on-screen instructions, or (2) download and open the McCormick Flavor Maker App, then follow the on-screen instructions to sign up for and create a Flavor Maker Flavor Profile.

B. To download the McCormick Flavor Maker App for free (if you do not already have it), visit the Google Play or Apple App stores on your mobile device and follow the instructions there.

 

C. When you have successfully created a Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account, and downloaded the App, subject to final approval and verification of your account (“Membership Account” or “Membership” or “Account”), you will become eligible to participate in the Program and earn Points to obtain Rewards. Flavor Maker App users with an active Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account as of the start date of this Rewards Program will be automatically eligible for and included for participation in this Rewards Program.

 

Limit: One (1) Membership Account per person and/or email address. Each individual Member may maintain only one Membership Account.  If more than one Membership Account is created by an individual, he/she will only receive points for the Account that was created first, using the email address that was created first, and any duplicate memberships or accounts will be canceled by Company and all points accumulated in those accounts will be void and forfeited.

 

You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your Account and for maintaining the security of your log-in credentials. You are responsible for protecting your Flavor Profile User ID, Flavor Maker App sign-in, and any other User IDs used in participating in the Program. If your User ID(s) are compromised, you agree to immediately inform Company. Do not disclose your log-in credentials to any third party for any reason. Company will not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from a Member’s failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph or any Member responsibilities under the Program Rules.

 

In the event of a dispute over the identity of a Member, the Member will be deemed to be the authorized account holder of the e-mail address identified at the time of enrollment into the Rewards Program. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet Access Provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institute, social sharing site) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the applicable e-mail address.

 

4. PARTICIPATION AND EARNING POINTS

 

Once a Member has successfully completed the enrollment process, and, if necessary, has been verified, he/she/they may begin earning points (“Points”) through participation in the Program by engaging in or achieving certain specified qualifying tasks and activities (each, a “Qualifying Activity”). Actions taken prior to enrollment and/or actions that are not specified in the Terms as Qualifying Activities are not eligible to earn Points, unless otherwise specified in writing by Company. For each Qualifying Activity completed, the Member will receive a pre-determined and pre-announced number of Points (“Point Value”), as determined by Company in its sole discretion.  Company reserves the right to add or delete Qualifying Activities and/or change the number of Points that may be awarded for any activity at any time, with or without notice, in its sole and absolute discretion; please check back frequently to see what new Qualifying Activities or promotions may be offered.

 

A. Initial Product Registration (400 points):

 

Each new Member’s first Qualifying Activity, after successful enrollment, must be the purchase and registration of McCormick’s The TEN product (“The TEN” or “the Qualifying Product”); Member must then scan the QR code located on The TEN’s packaging, which will open the App so that you can sign into your Flavor Maker Flavor Profile Account and follow the instructions to successfully register The TEN product. If you do not already have a Flavor Maker Flavor Profile Account, or if you have not downloaded the Flavor Maker App, scanning the QR code will direct you to first complete these steps. Once you have downloaded the App and successfully registered, you will receive an award of four hundred (400) points, which will be automatically added to your Rewards Program account. Limit one (1) The TEN product registration per Member.

 

B. Additional Qualifying Activities:

 

i. Logging a Meal Planning Preference (100 points): While logged into your Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account, and within the Rewards Program portion of the App, you may choose to log a Meal Planning Preference (“Meal Planning Preference”).

ii. The “I Made It” Recipe Feature (100 points): While logged into your Flavor Maker Flavor Profile account, you may navigate to the exclusive “Recipes” section of the App and indicate that you have made a recipe by clicking or tapping the “I Made It" button (“Button”) associated with participating recipes.
