Sephora may carry out this suspension and/or deactivation after notifying a Member by the means it deems most appropriate, without the Member being able to claim any compensation, particularly in the following cases:
· in the event of fraud, attempted fraud or theft by a Member in a store and/or on Sephora’s websites or mobile applications,
· in the event of inappropriate use or misuse of the Loyalty Program,
· in case of actions likely to disrupt the operation of Sephora’s websites or mobile applications, the operation of the Loyalty Program or the operation of stores,

Upon termination of a Member’s account, the Member’s registration extinguishes, and they may no longer earn and redeem points.

To the extent permitted by the applicable laws in the Local Sephora country, Sephora is exempt from all liability for any consequences, direct or indirect, of any malfunction of the Loyalty Program.
