As a member of the Program, you will earn one (1) Point per $1 spent (outside of Points Multiplier events) on qualifying merchandise purchases at Participating Locations. Points will be calculated based on qualifying merchandise purchases, excluding gift cards, price adjustments on prior purchases, certain merchandise and other exclusions that may apply, after all applicable discounts have been applied (e.g., in store event discounts, coupons, special offers, Reward certificate redemption), and before shipping and/or taxes (“Qualifying Purchases”). In order to earn Points, you must provide your Love Soma Rewards member number, phone number or email address associated with your Membership at time of purchase or sign in using your existing. Accrued Points will be posted to your account within three (3) business days from the time of your in-store purchase or from the date of shipment for purchases made by phone or online. Your Qualifying Purchase amount will be rounded to the nearest whole number for purposes of Points calculation.
Point calculations are based upon dollars spent at checkout on Qualifying Purchases. Points shall expire automatically 365 days from the date they are earned, have no cash value and are not redeemable or transferrable.
If you return any merchandise that is part of a Qualifying Purchase, the corresponding amount of Points earned at the time of purchase will be deducted from your balance. For example, if you made a Qualifying Purchase of $100 and later returned $25 worth of merchandise from that purchase, 25 Points will be deducted from your Points balance. IFurtherf your return includes merchandise that was purchased in whole or in part with a Reward certificate, the Reward certificate value shall be forfeited.
For every 125 Points you accrue, the Points will automatically be redeemed from your account balance to issue you a Reward certificate redeemable for $5 off your next merchandise purchase in Participating Locations. Only six (6) $5 off Rewards may be issued in one month. If you earn more than six (6) $5 off Rewards in a month, the additional Rewards you’ve earned will be banked towards the following month.
Reward certificates will be issued on a monthly basis, either by email or direct mail, and must be used by the expiration date listed on the certificate. The method by which you receive your earned Reward certificates will be determined by your communication preferences. If at any time we do not have a valid email or mailing address on file, Rewards earned during that time will be forfeited.
Rewards are issued as one-time use coupons for discounts off future merchandise purchases and may only be applied to a merchandise purchase equal to or greater than the amount of the sum of the Rewards presented for redemption. Rewards may only be combined with one (1) other coupon or Reward certificate when making a purchase at Participating Locations.
Currently there are three (3) tiers of benefits in the Love Soma Rewards program: Preferred, Gold and Platinum. Upon joining the Program, you will automatically be enrolled at the Preferred tier, unless the total net sale of your initial purchase meets or exceeds $250. Your tier status is based on total net sales made at Participating Locations within each calendar year:
Present your Love Soma Rewards membership number every time you shop in boutiques and outlets in order to earn Points on qualifying merchandise purchases and receive the benefits associated with your tier status. In order to receive all other benefits in addition to your earned Reward certificates, you must have not opted-out of receiving email and direct mail communications.
Preferred Benefits Include:
Gold Benefits Include:
Platinum Benefits Include:
Tier status is determined by your total qualifying net spending on purchases made within each calendar year. Once you reach a new tier, you will immediately become eligible to receive the benefits applicable to that tier. However, your qualifying net spending must meet or exceed the minimum requirements of this tier in order to maintain your status:
Once you reach a specific tier in the Program, you will become eligible to receive the benefits of that tier for the remainder of the current calendar year, as well as the following calendar year so long as your total qualifying net spending does not drop below that tier’s threshold due to returns. Calendar year is defined as January 1 – December 31. With each new calendar year, we will determine your tier status based on your total net sales from the prior calendar year. Your qualifying net spend for the calendar year will start at zero ($0) every January 1.
For example, if your qualifying net spend in Year 1 is equal to $275, you will enjoy the benefits of our Gold tier for the balance of Year 1 and will start Year 2 at Gold. However, if in Year 1 you make a return equal to $50 of your $275 total net sales, your qualifying net spend drops to $225. You will enjoy the benefits of our Gold tier for the balance of Year 1 and will start Year 2 at Preferred tier status.
We will provide you with information via email throughout the year to inform you of your qualifying net sales and your current tier status. When you achieve Gold or Platinum tier status, we will notify you by email and/or direct mail of your new tier and applicable benefits.

Online orders are not deemed to be accepted by Soma until your products are shipped from our warehouse; however, an acceptance of an order by Soma does not constitute a waiver of our rights under our resale policy.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement or Member's Membership will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court (i.e., you are waiving your right to sue in court), except that you may assert claim(s) in small claims court if your claim(s) qualify. Disputes subject to arbitration include without limitation disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this dispute resolution provision. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this dispute resolution agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, Inc. under its rules by a single arbitrator experienced in commercial disputes. The JAMS's rules are available at www.jamsadr.org or by calling 1-800-352-5267. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator shall issue a written award setting forth the arbitrator's complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it. The arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS's rules. However, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith [a] we will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, and [b] in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Soma will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration. Likewise, Soma will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless permitted by law and the arbitrator determines the claim(s) asserted against Soma are frivolous or brought in bad faith.
You and Soma each agree that any dispute resolution proceeding SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the class, consolidated, and representative action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Soma are entitled to arbitration.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law principles. If the arbitration provision in this section is found unenforceable or to not apply for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction – whether federal or state – within Lee County, Florida.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Soma makes a material change to this dispute resolution provision, such change will not apply to any dispute that you provided Soma notice of prior to the change in the dispute resolution provision.
To provide us notice of an arbitration demand, send the demand to our registered agent: Chico's Distribution Services, LLC d/b/a Soma c/o Corporate Creations International Inc., 11380 Prosperity Farms Road #221E, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410.
