Review

13. Indulgence HBS will review each application for eligibility and compliance with these Terms and Conditions. Indulgence HBS will then choose from the eligible Applicants to be selected to participate in the Beauty Kind Project program, in Indulgence HBS’s absolute discretion.

14. Applications will initially be reviewed by the Indulgence HBS Support Office and provisionally approved applications will then be forwarded to the relevant Indulgence HBS  Salon for final approval and selection.

15. Indulgence HBS may contact Applicants for additional information or clarification when reviewing applications. If Indulgence HBS is unable to contact an Applicant, the application may be rejected.

16. Indulgence HBS may, in its absolute discretion, determine that:

(a) the relevant Indulgence HBS Salon for the Local Area served by the Local Community Group or Local Community Project (as the case may be) is different from the Indulgence HBS salon nominated on the application form, in which case the application will be re-assigned to the appropriate Indulgence HBS Salon; or

(b) the Local Community Group or Local Community Project (as the case may be) does not serve the Local Area of any Indulgence HBS , in which case the application will be rejected.

17. Approval and participation in Beauty Kind Project is based on eligibility and compliance in accordance with these Terms and Conditions as determined by Indulgence HBS in its absolute discretion.

18. Indulgence HBS will notify Applicants via email to the individual nominated on the application form whether their application has been successful or not.

19. If an Applicant believes that their application has been unfairly assessed, they may submit an enquiry to Indulgehairbodysoul@gmail.com and ask for their application to be re-assessed. Once this has occurred, the decision by Indulgence HBS Support Office is final and no further correspondence will be entered into.

20. Approval of an application does not guarantee participation in Beauty Kind Project in any particular Indulgence HBS, in any particular month, which will be determined by Indulgence HBS in its absolute discretion. Due to the volume of applications received, Indulgence HBS will select Local Community Groups and Local Community Projects that it considers best suited to the Beauty Kind Project program from amongst the approved applications to participate in Beauty Kind Project.

21. Approved applications will be placed in a pool for selection by the relevant Indulgence HBS Salon for a forthcoming month and may not necessary be selected in the same order in which applications are received or approved. If the application included an expiry date and the application is not selected before the expiry date, it will be removed from the selection pool and the Applicant may choose to apply again in the future if they wish.

 

Participation

22. Each calendar month, each Indulgence HBS Salon will select three (3) approved Local Community Groups or Individuals to participate in Beauty Kind Project. Each Local Community Group will be notified by email.

23. Each Indulgence HBS Salon will have three (3) jars on display, each representing one of the selected Local Community Groups (or their nominated Local Community Project). Each jar will have a label identifying the Local Community Group or Local Community Project (as the case may be) and a Blurb based on the information provided in the successful application. Indulgence HBS reserves the right to edit the details and Blurb for the label.

24. When a customer purchases a main item (that is, a facial, a haircut, one online checkout and a ticket from an event, including education) from a Indulgence HBS Salon, they are given a charm or token and invited to place the charm or token in one of the jars on display to support the Local Community Group or Local Community Project of their choice.

25. At the end of each calendar month, each Indulgence HBS Salon will count up the tokens in each jar. Based on this, a total of $300 donated by each Indulgence HBS Salon each month will be distributed as follows:

(a) The Local Community Group represented by the jar in each Indulgence HBS Salon that has the most tokens will be awarded 1st place and receive a $200 donation, and the remaining two Local Community Groups that place 2nd and 3rd will each be given a $50 donation;

(b) In the event of a tie between two Local Community Groups for 1st place, each of those tied Local Community Groups will receive $100 and the third Local Community Group will receive $50;

(c) In the event of a tie between all three Local Community Groups for 1st place, the $300 total will be split evenly with each Local Community Group receiving $100

26. Each participating Local Community Group will be notified of the outcome by email after the tokens have been counted at the end of the month. Results on the placings will also be displayed on a “Last Month’s Winners” card at the relevant Indulgence HBS Salon the following month.

27. In the case of a newly opened Indulgence HBS Salon that commences participation in Local Matters after the 1st of the month, the Indulgence HBS Salon may decide to roll over the selected Local Community Groups to the end of the following calendar month to ensure they receive a minimum period of a full calendar month, in which case the total amount donated will remain $300 as set out in clause 26 above.

28. Donations will be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Local Community Group based on the details set out in the application form.

29. Cheques will be available for collection from the relevant Indulgence HBS Salon up to three (3) weeks after the end of the calendar month they participated in. Cheques will not be posted. It is the responsibility of each Local Community Group to collect the cheque from the Indulgence HBS Salon within six (6) months from the end of the calendar month they participated in.

30. Unbanked and unclaimed cheques will expire twelve (12) months from the date of issue.

31. If a Local Community Group does not collect their cheque from the Indulgence HBS Salon they participated in within six (6) months from the end of the calendar month they participated in, but it is less than twelve (12) months since participation, the Local Community Group will need to submit a request to claim their donation to Indulgehairbodysoul@gmail.com

32. Indulgence HBS has a preference to pay donations by cheque and will not make payments to individuals. If a Local Community Group requests that the donation be paid by another method, Indulgence HBS will consider the request in its absolute discretion on a case-by-case basis.
