III. PROGRAM AND BENEFITS
How It Works. The Program provides benefits to Members who make Qualifying Purchases. “Qualifying Purchases” means purchases of designated products or services (less taxes, fees, and returns) at Authorized Channels, excluding prior purchases, and excluding the value of perks or promotions received from HCO (e.g., any discount applied to such Qualifying Purchase upon the redemption or application of Points to the purchase).
What do I need to do to earn Points?
a. Be a member in good standing.
b. Make a Qualifying Purchase.
c. Identify as a Member when you make the Qualified Purchase.
How do I identify as a member?
When placing an order on the Website, you should be logged in to your account. When placing an order in-store, you should place the order under the same name, phone number, and/or email address under which the Member Account is registered.
Can I register forms of payment in my account?
No. At this point in time, we do not offer the option to register your form of payment.
Subscription Plans. To enjoy full access to the Home Center Outlet Loyalty Program, you need to sign up for the HCO Pro Tier. Membership to this tier is obtained by purchasing a yearly subscription that starts on the date that you sign up and submit payment, or you reactivate a pre-existing subscription. Unless we otherwise communicate a different time period to you at the time of sign up, each billing cycle is one year in length (a “Subscription Cycle”). Your HCO Pro subscription automatically renews each year, and we will automatically bill the yearly subscription fee to your Payment Method each year, until the subscription is cancelled or terminated. For example, if you purchase your HCO Pro subscription on September 17, 2027, your subscription will automatically renew on September 17, 2028. You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of Payment (“Payment Method”). We may update the accepted payment methods from time to time.
Subscription Billing and Auto-Renewal. Your subscription to the HCO Pro Tier of Home Center Outlet’s Loyalty Program includes enrollment into an ongoing/recurring payment plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the disclosed billing period, unless cancelled in accordance with the instructions for cancellation listed below. In the event of a price change, we will attempt to notify you in advance of the change by sending an email to the email address you have registered to your account. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your subscription in accordance with the instructions included in that email and below. If you do not timely cancel your subscription, your subscription will be renewed at the price in effect at the time of renewal, without any additional action by you, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for these amounts. We will not be able to notify you of any changes in applicable taxes. You are responsible for all third-party Internet access charges and taxes in connection with any Purchase made under your Membership account. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges.
Payment Details. You are responsible for keeping your payment details up to date by changing the details in your account settings. You authorize us to continue to charge your card using the updated information in the event any changes to your payment method are made. In the event of a failed attempt to charge your payment method (e.g., if your payment method has expired), we reserve the right to retry billing your payment method. If a payment is not successfully authorized due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, we may suspend or terminate your subscription. You will remain responsible for any amounts you fail to pay in connection with your subscription, including collection costs, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs.
Duration and Cancellation. You can cancel your subscription at any time before the end of the current billing period. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period unless otherwise disclosed. If you cancel, you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current billing period. You must cancel your subscription 48 hours prior to your next recurring billing date in order to avoid being charged for the next billing period. We do not refund or credit for partially used billing periods. If you cancel, including if you switch your billing to a third-party, you will forfeit any earned Points and/or perks.
Benefits and Tiers.
Points. Points are earned by a Member for every Qualifying Purchase, with the number of points earned for each Qualifying Purchase being dependent upon whether the Member is a Premier or Pro Member. The number of Points for a Qualifying Purchase are further described on the Program’s home page on this Website, and HCO reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify on a prospective basis the Points awarded for a Qualifying Purchase. Points accumulated by a Member may be applied to obtain discounts on purchases pursuant to the then applicable schedule published by HCO on this Website.

Qualifying Purchases (i) used to earn Points may not be applied to retroactive transactions and may only be applied to one Member account (and may not be combined with any other Member account), (ii) using a Registered Tender will be applied to the original Member account to which the Register Tender is registered (even if that Registered Tender is subsequently moved to another Member account.
