GOALS AND REWARDS
Weekly Goals
• The period upon which a Weekly Goal (more fully set out below) can be earned starts at midnight on a Monday morning (00:00) and ends at 23:59 on a Sunday (i.e., 7 (seven) days) (a “Weekly Goal Qualifying Period”).
• Each Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, You will be provided with an opportunity to earn 1 (one) Weekly Reward (see below) for completing your Weekly Goal. Unless otherwise communicated by Virgin Active, Weekly Goals are not cumulative in each Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and are limited to 1 (one) Weekly Goal, per qualifying member per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
• Your Weekly Goal is determined by the number of times you visit a Club. At midnight on each Monday (i.e., the commencement of a Weekly Goal Qualifying Period) Your visits of the previous Weekly Goal Qualifying Period are disregarded and You will start again for the next Weekly Goal Qualifying Period. For clarity, any Visits in excess of Your previous Weekly Goal do not carry over and / or cannot be counted for the next Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
• You will start with needing to visit a Club 2 (two) times within a Weekly Goal Qualifying Period. Once You achieve a minimum of 2 (two) visits, You will receive a Weekly Reward.
• In the following week, Your Weekly Goal will be extended to 3 (three) visits per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and if this is achieved then Your Weekly Goal will be extended to 4 (four) visits per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
• When Your Weekly Goal is 4 (four) visits per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and You achieve this Weekly Goal, thereafter, Your Weekly Goal will not increase to more than 4 (four) visits.
• If Your Weekly Goal is 4 (four) visits per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and You visit less than 4 (four) times in that Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, then your Weekly Goal will be reduced to 3 (three) visits in the following Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
• If Your Weekly Goal is 3 (three) visits per Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and You visit less than 3 (three) times in that Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, then Your Weekly Goal will be reduced to 2 (two) visits in the following Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
• A visit will only qualify towards Your Weekly Goal if You have met the following requirements:
o (i) upon entry into a Club, You have scanned, at the Club entrance, Your digital access card available via the App, or until such time that physical membership cards have been discontinued by Virgin Active, You have scanned Your membership card at the Club entrance;
o (ii) You have remained inside a Club for an uninterrupted minimum duration of at least 30 (thirty) minutes; and
o (iii) upon departure from a Club and at the Club exit, You have scanned Your digital access card available via the App, or until such time that physical membership cards have been discontinued by Virgin Active, You have scanned Your membership card at the Club exit.
• It is Your responsibility to scan Your digital access card, or physical membership card, upon entry into and exit from the Club. Virgin Active will not accept any responsibility for ensuring that Your digital access card or physical membership card has been scanned, at all.
• Should You not scan either Your digital access card available via the App or Your physical membership card (subject to it not being discontinued), as stipulated above, that specific Club visit will not count or qualify towards Your Weekly Goals and You may run the risk of failing to meet Your Weekly Goal and not qualifying for Your Weekly Reward, or failing to meet Your Tier Points (see below) linked to tracking valid Club visits.
• Only 1 (one) visit per day is counted towards a Weekly Goal. If You visit a Club more than once in a day, or if You visit 2 (two) or more different Clubs in a day, then only 1 (one) visit for that day is counted towards your Weekly Goal.
Weekly Reward
• When You achieve a Weekly Goal, You will be issued a reward in the App (“Weekly Reward”).
• Weekly Rewards may take at least 30 (thirty) minutes (or sometimes longer) to be issued to You.
• At the start of each Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, Virgin Active will inform You what Your Weekly Reward will be for that Weekly Goal Qualifying Period. Weekly Rewards may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a voucher from participating Rewards Partners redeemable either in-club and/or at a Rewards Partner’s outlet , or Tier Points (see below).
• You will have 7 (seven) days, from date of issue, to choose your Weekly Reward (if a choice is available). If You do not choose a Weekly Reward within 7 (seven) days from notifying You and / or the Weekly Reward becoming available via the App, Your Weekly Reward will expire and will not be carried over to the next week.
• If You choose a voucher as your Weekly Reward, then the relevant voucher:
o will be issued and will be valid for 7 (seven) days. If the voucher is not redeemed within 7 (seven) days, it will expire and will not be carried over to the next week; and
o is only valid for, and limited to, the specific reward stipulated in the App and only at participating stores/outlets of the applicable Rewards Partner. You will not be able to up-size, modify or add extras to the voucher (i.e., You will not be able to elect to pay the difference in price, nor will You be able to use Your voucher to subsidise in any way Your upsized and/or modified purchase). Any amendment (up-size and / or extras added) and / or subsidies will be charged for in full.
• If You choose Tier Points as your Weekly Reward, then these Tier Points will be automatically added to Your Tier Points total immediately (or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter).
• Once You have chosen a Weekly Reward in respect of any Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, Your choice is final and You will under no circumstances be able to change your choice in respect of that Weekly Reward.
• If You have achieved a Weekly Reward from the previous week that is still valid, and have also achieved a Weekly Reward in the new/current week, You will be eligible to have two active vouchers and redeem both vouchers if applicable.
Milestone Achievements – for 12, 26 and 52 consecutive weeks of Weekly Goals
• Additional Milestone Rewards may be unlocked when:
o You achieve 12 (twelve) consecutive Weekly Goals over 12 (twelve) consecutive weeks;
o You achieve 26 (twenty-six) consecutive Weekly Goals over 26 (twenty-six) consecutive weeks; and
o You achieve 52 (fifty-two) consecutive Weekly Goals over 52 (fifty-two) consecutive weeks
(each referred to as a “Milestone” and “Milestone Cycle”).
• There is no prescribed start to a Milestone Cycle, except that it is intrinsically linked to the achievement of Weekly Goals obtained consecutively which, in-turn, is intrinsically linked to the Weekly Goal Qualifying Periods commencing at midnight on Mondays. Each Milestone Cycle would commence on the same date for the calculation of the consecutive Weekly Goals attained. For clarity, You may achieve 12 (twelve) consecutive Weekly Goals, and should you continue to achieve Your next 14 (fourteen) Weekly Goals consecutively and immediately thereafter, then You would have achieved 26 (twenty-six) consecutive Weekly Goals over 26 (twenty-six) consecutive weeks (i.e., 12 Weekly Goals plus 14 Weekly Goals), and so on.
• Should You fail to achieve a Weekly Goal at any point during a Milestone Cycle, the Milestone Cycle will restart the following Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, and You will start a new Milestone Cycle afresh. For example, if You achieve a Weekly Goal in week 1 (one) and week 2 (two) but in week 3 (three) You fail to achieve Your Weekly Goal, then this means that a new Milestone Cycle will begin anew in week 4 (four) and You will need to achieve 12 (twelve) Weekly Goals in a row in order to unlock a Milestone Reward.
Milestone Rewards
• When a Milestone is achieved, You will be presented with a choice of Milestone Rewards, which We may from time to time, and in Our sole discretion, add to or change the list of Milestone Rewards, and which may include, for instance:
o a voucher from one of Our Rewards Partners; or
o Tier Points (see below);
• The choice to select Your Milestone Reward from available options (if any) will be open for 14 (fourteen) days from the date of achieving Your Milestone Reward. If You fail to select Your Milestone Reward within the stipulated 14 (fourteen) day period, then Your Milestone Reward will automatically lapse and Your option to select the Milestone Reward will no longer be available.
• Your Milestone Reward can only be selected via the App.
• If You select to receive Tier Points (see below) as Your Milestone Reward, then the points will be added towards Your Tier Points balance immediately (or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter).
• If You select to receive a voucher as Your Milestone Reward, then:
o The voucher will be available to redeem for 14 (fourteen) days from the date of Your selection, and can be accessed in the App under “Rewards”;
o If the voucher is not redeemed within the stipulated 14 (fourteen) day period, it will expire and will not be carried over to the next week; and
o The voucher is only valid for the specific Milestone Reward stipulated in the App and only from participating stores/outlets of the applicable Rewards Partner; and
o Any modifications or extras added to the selected voucher will be charged for in full to You (i.e. You will not be able to elect to pay the difference in price nor will You be able to use Your voucher to subsidise in any way Your upsized and/or modified purchase).
• If You have achieved a Weekly Reward from the previous week that is still valid, and have also achieved a Milestone Reward in the new/current week, You will be eligible to redeem both the Weekly Reward and Milestone Reward for so long as the selection and/or redemption timelines overlap and provided that the selection and/or redemption is done within the applicable timelines, as set out above.
• We reserve Our rights to change and / or update the Milestone Goals and Milestone Rewards at any time, without notice, and in Our sole and unfretted discretion.
Tier Status and Tier Points
• There are 3 (three) Tier Levels which determine your Tier Status:
o Bronze Tier (entry-level);
o Silver Tier (mid-level); and
o Gold Tier (highest level).
• Upon registering for the Virgin Active Rewards Programme, You will automatically default to Bronze Tier.
• You may move between the different Tier Levels by upgrading or downgrading (as set out below).
• You will immediately lose Your Tier Status (and be ineligible to participate in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme) should:
o You terminate Your Virgin Active contract or membership; or
o You no longer be in good standing.
• Notwithstanding, we may, from time to time, amend, without notice and in Our sole and unfretted discretion, these Terms and Conditions to the extent that they pertain to, including but not limited to the Tier Levels, Your Tier Level, the allocation of Your Tier Level and / or the upgrade and downgrade between different Tier Levels.
Tier Upgrades
• To upgrade from Bronze Tier to Silver Tier or Gold Tier, be in good standing and earn sufficient Tier Points as follows:
o a Bronze Tier member:
can upgrade to Silver Tier by earning 2000 (two thousand) Tier Points; or
can upgrade to Gold Tier by earning 5000 (five thousand) Tier Points; and
o a Silver Tier member can upgrade to Gold Tier by earning 3000 (three thousand) Tier Points
• Tier Upgrades are automatic and immediate, as and when You earn the required Tier Points.
• There are no monthly or annual cycles for Tier Statuses, thus Tier Statuses and Tier Points do not reset at any given time.
How to earn Tier Points
Tier Points can be earned by completing certain activities from time to time. Some Tier Point-earning activities have a maximum number of Tier Points that can be earned per day, week, or month. Earning Tier Points are capped at once per day per a Tier Point-earning activity. This means that You can earn for multiple different Tier Point-earning activities (if applicable) but only once per activity (or once per a Tier Point-earning activity per a day, where appliable). There are also Tier Points which are only available to be earned once-off. The list of Tier Point-earning activities is available in the App, which may be updated from time to time at Our sole discretion and without notice. You will be able to view via the App which Tier Points-earning activities have been achieved.
Tier Rewards
• Each Tier Level has specific Tier benefits and / or rewards (“Tier Rewards”) which are made available to You and / or are applicable to You only, if You are within (or who have obtained) the specific Tier Level.
• Tier Rewards include a range of benefits, rewards and / or prizes which are made available by Us and / or Our Rewards Partners.
• Tier Rewards may differ or change from time to time, as determined by Us in Our sole and absolute discretion.
• Tier Rewards are made available on the same day that an applicable Tier Reward is earned as a result of a Tier Upgrade (see above).
• The process to redeem a given Tier Reward may differ depending on, for instance, the Rewards Partner and / or as a result of the particular Tier Reward, from time to time. You may either be issued a QR code voucher in the App, or be issued a unique Rewards Partner code to redeem on the Rewards Partner’s website or at a physical store/outlet. The terms and conditions, and further information, including the validity and usage requirements for the Tier Rewards available to You from time to time will be set out in the App.
BIRTHDAY REWARDS
• You will receive a birthday reward each year, which may include a voucher redeemable on the day of Your birthday. This voucher will be available to redeem for 30 (thirty) days from Your birthday, and can be accessed in the App under “Rewards”.
• Your Tier Status will determine Your birthday reward.
• We reserve Our rights to amend and / or change the birthday rewards available from time to time and without notice to You.
VIRGIN ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP STATUS AND ACCESS TO THE LOYALTY PROGRAMME
• The status of Your in-Club Virgin Active membership will determine, in varying degrees, Your ability to access, use, and participate in, the Virgin Active Rewards Programme.
• In order to have access to all the benefits and rewards of the Virgin Active Rewards Programme, You must have an authorised and active Virgin Active Club membership which is in good standing (financial or otherwise), and You must have downloaded the latest and most up-to-date version of the App (as available from time to time).
• There are other membership status factors taken into consideration which may impact Your eligibility to participate in (or Your continued use of) the Virgin Active Rewards Programme (e.g. if You have frozen or cancelled Your membership, or if We have suspended, cancelled and/or blacklisted Your membership). If You have not used the App for a period of 12 (twelve) months or more, We will revoke and/or nullify any unused rewards and You may need to download the App again and possibly re-register for the Virgin Active Rewards Programme if You wish to re-use it or re-join.
Membership Freeze or Pause in Membership
• If You validly freeze Your membership account with Us:
o Your Milestone Cycle (and Milestone Goal) will also freeze (i.e., be suspended by agreement). Once Your freeze period is over, and Your membership is unsuspended by agreement, You will continue Your Milestone Cycle (and Milestone Goal) based on the last full Weekly Goal Qualifying Period in which You achieved your Milestone.
o Your Weekly Goal will start afresh in the next full Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and your Weekly Goal will be reset back down to, or remain at, 2 (two) visits in that Weekly Goal Qualifying Period.
LOSS OR INJURY
By participating in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme, You indemnify and hold Us harmless for any claim of whatever nature in respect of any loss, injury, harm, liability, or damage of any nature whatsoever, which You may incur (or have incurred), whether directly or indirectly, resulting from, including any negligence by, Us, Our staff, contractors, tenants, Rewards Partners, as a result of Your participation in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme including but not limited to Your participation in the activities, goals, and/or rewards contemplated pursuant to the Virgin Active Rewards Programme and these Terms and Conditions.

APPLICABLE LAW
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and are to be interpretated in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
