I. INTRODUCING KOHL’S REWARDS. The Kohl’s Rewards Program (“Program”) is a rewards program offered by Kohl’s, Inc. and its affiliates (“
Kohl’s”, “us” or “our”) in the United States. This Member Agreement, as well as all additional policies, terms and conditions referenced and incorporated throughout, all of which may be amended from time-to-time (collectively, the “Terms”), contain information about the relationship between you and Kohl’s with respect to the Program and apply to you if: (1) you were enrolled in Kohl’s Yes2You Rewards program or the pilot version of the Kohl’s Rewards Program (the “Prior Program”) on or before September 8, 2020; (2) you enrolled in the Program while shopping in one of our stores or on kohls.com; or (3) you have otherwise been informed that you have been enrolled in the Program. II. GENERAL. By enrolling in, or otherwise participating in, the Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and unconditionally accept to be bound by the Terms. Kohl’s reserves the right to modify these Terms, without further notice or compensation to you, and you waive any right to receive specific individual notice of such modifications. Any updates to these Terms will be effective immediately upon posting at Kohls.com/KohlsRewardsTerms, and your continued participation in the Program constitutes your acceptance to such modifications. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between Kohl’s and each individual who enrolls or otherwise participates in the Program. Accordingly, you expressly represent and warrant that you are eligible for the Program (as described below) and will otherwise comply with these Terms. If you do not agree to all of the Terms now or at any point in the future and/or you become ineligible for the Program (please see Section III below), please contact Kohl’s Rewards Customer Service at 1-844-564-5704 to un-enroll. The Program is separate from, and not affiliated with, the Kohl’s Card program.
III. ELIGIBILITY. The Program is only open to individual U.S. residents (excluding Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and territories) of at least 16 years of age. If you are between 16 and the age of majority, you represent and warrant that you have obtained permission from your parent or legal guardian to be a member of the Program, and you expressly acknowledge that you may not be eligible for all Program benefits. Program membership is available only to natural persons and the following are ineligible: corporations, businesses, non-profit organizations, governmental agencies or other entities and Kohl’s may disqualify any such entity discovered to be in the Program, which may include forfeiture of previously issued but unused Kohl’s Rewards Balance or Kohl’s Cash. Because Kohl’s is a retailer and does not sell to individuals or dealers for the purpose of resale to others, resellers are also expressly excluded from the Program.
IV. MEMBERSHIP.

V. KOHL’S CASH COUPON.
a. Kohl’s Rewards Every Day Earn. As a Member, you have the opportunity every day to earn Kohl’s Rewards on all Qualifying Purchases (defined below) made in store or online (“Every Day Kohl’s Rewards”) as long as you identify yourself as a Member (either by presenting your digital membership card; logging into your linked Kohl’s Rewards Account on Kohls.com or the Kohl’s App; presenting or using your linked Kohl’s Card (for those Kohl’s Card Holders enrolled in the Program); or providing your phone number, email address, or Kohl’s Rewards Identification Number to the Kohl’s associate at the time of check-out in store).
i. Qualifying Purchases: Qualifying purchases are calculated after all discounts are applied, before shipping, fees or tax is imposed, and do not include the purchase of gift cards (“Qualifying Purchase(s)”). If merchandise from a Qualified Purchase that earns Kohl’s Rewards is subsequently returned or price adjusted, the balance of the Kohl’s Rewards previously earned will be reduced to reflect any unearned value.

iii. Kohl’s Cash Coupons Issued or Balance Carry-Forward: When the Kohl’s Rewards balance tied to a customer's Kohl’s Rewards Account is equal to or exceeds $5 as of the last day of the month, then a digital Kohl’s Cash coupon will be activated and issued in $5 increments on the first day of the following month (“Rewards Kohl’s Cash”). Each Kohl’s Cash coupon shall expire 30 days after issuance and may be redeemed only prior to its expiration. Any remaining Kohl’s Rewards balance that does not meet the $5 activation threshold (after the Rewards Kohl’s Cash coupon has been issued) will carry-forward to be saved in your “Kohl’s Rewards Balance” and stored for future use. The Kohl’s Rewards Balance is made available by logging into your Kohl’s Rewards Account on Kohls.com or within your digital wallet in the Kohl’s App. A Kohl’s Rewards balance in your Kohl’s Rewards Balance that remains less than $5 (such that a Kohl’s Cash coupon is never activated and issued) will automatically expire twelve (12) months after it is earned.

From time to time, Kohl’s will have Kohl’s Cash promotional events (“Earn Events”) during which all Kohl’s customers, including Members and non-Members, are eligible to earn $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent on Qualifying Purchases made in a single transaction during the stated Event window (“Event Kohl’s Cash”). Event Kohl’s Cash will be earned in addition to the Every Day Kohl’s Rewards that Members earn on Qualified Purchases. Each time an Event Kohl’s Cash coupon is issued, the value of the coupon will only reflect Event Kohl’s Cash.
c. Kohl’s Cash Redemption. Each activated and issued Kohl’s Cash coupon can be redeemed only during its stated redemption window. Redemption windows for Rewards Kohl’s Cash will be 30 days from issuance of the Rewards Kohl’s Cash coupon. All activated Kohl’s Cash that is unused during its stated redemption window will expire after that redemption window. The redemption window for your Kohl’s Cash and other coupon details may be found online and other communications issued by Kohl’s. Kohl’s Cash® coupons and other dollar-off discounts will be applied prior to percent-off total purchase discounts/coupons. Kohl’s Cash® may not be redeemed (1) to purchase Kohl’s Cares® cause merchandise or other charitable items; (2) to purchase Gift Cards; (3) as price adjustments on prior purchases; (4) to reduce a Kohl’s Card or any third-party charge account balance; or (5) to pay for any services or fees, including taxes and shipping.

(f) ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. UNLESS YOU SEND US THE REJECTION NOTICE DESCRIBED IN THIS PROVISION, OR OTHERWISE FALL UNDER AN EXCEPTION AS DESCRIBED BELOW, THIS PROVISION WILL APPLY TO YOU. THIS SECTION PROVIDES THAT REWARDS DISPUTES MAY BE RESOLVED BY EITHER YOU OR KOHL’S THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, HAVE A JURY TRIAL OR INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IN ARBITRATION, DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES CAN BE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA), AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN THE BROADEST WAY THE LAW WILL ALLOW.
As used in this arbitration provision, a "Rewards Dispute" means any claim or controversy between us that in any way arises from or relates to a Member’s participation in the Program, including, without limitation, the issuance and/or redemption of Kohl’s Cash, or the receipt of any offer or other Program benefit(s). Rewards Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that a Member may assert claims in small claims court if the Member’s claims qualify. In addition, Kohl’s and Members each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement to arbitrate Rewards Disputes. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. The scope of discovery is usually more limited in arbitration than in court. 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 these Terms.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Kohl’s Registered Agent/Legal Department, located at: Kohl’s Legal Department, N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051 or we must send a written notice to you at the most current address we have on file for you. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Kohl’s will reimburse all such filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Kohl’s will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. A Member 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.
Kohl’s and Member each agree that any Rewards Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Kohl’s and Member each hereby waive the right to participate in any class action, whether in court or arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Kohl’s and Member each waive any right to a jury trial.
If you do not want this arbitration provision to apply, you must reject this arbitration provision by sending a written rejection notice to us at Kohl’s, Inc., Kohl’s Rewards Arbitration Opt-Out, P.O. Box 3120, Milwaukee, WI 53201-3120. Your rejection notice must be mailed within 60 days of account opening. Your rejection notice must state that you reject the arbitration provision and include your name, address, Kohl’s Rewards Identification Number and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice. Your rejection notice will not apply to the arbitration provision(s) governing any other account(s) that you have or had with us. Rejection of this arbitration provision won’t affect your other rights or responsibilities under these Terms, including use of your Kohl’s Rewards Account.
This arbitration provision shall survive changes to these Terms and termination of the Program, Kohl’s Rewards Account, and/or the relationship between you and us, including the bankruptcy of any party and any sale of your Kohl’s Rewards Account, or amounts owed on your Kohl’s Rewards Account, to another person or entity. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the other terms shall remain in force, except that there can be no arbitration of a class or representative claim. This arbitration provision may not be amended, severed or waived, except as provided in these Terms or in a written agreement between you and us.
