Please read them carefully. By participating in the Program you are agreeing to these Terms, the M∙A∙C Cosmetics [Terms of Use] and the M∙A∙C Cosmetics [Privacy Policy].


This Program is only valid for residents of the United States who are at least eighteen (18) years old. Individuals who are employed by M∙A∙C Cosmetics or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies are not eligible to participate in the Program – either as an Advocate or Friend (each as defined below).


Refer-A-Friend Program: M∙A∙C Cosmetics customers can refer their eligible friends, family members or colleagues (each, a “Friend”) to make a purchase on M∙A∙C Cosmetics website following one of two methods. Once a customer makes a referral he/she becomes an “Advocate”. An Advocate can complete the online form, entering the names and e-mail addresses of those eligible Friends he/she wants to refer and an email will be sent to the Friend(s) containing the Advocate’s unique referral link (“Referral Link”). In addition, an Advocate can copy his/her Referral Link and share it with his/her Friend(s) by another method, such as social media or from a personal email account. Eligible Friends must not have an existing active or inactive M∙A∙C Cosmetics account) Advocates cannot refer themselves or create multiple, fictitious, or fake accounts with M∙A∙C Cosmetics or participate in the Program as “Friends”. Any time that an Advocate posts, shares or sends their Referral Link, they must clearly explain that they earn an incentive which may take the form of a discount on a future eligible purchase at www.maccosmetics.com or a MAC retail store ] if the purchase is made within thirty (30) days using their Referral Link (the “Incentive”). INFORMING FRIENDS THAT ADVOCATES EARN AN INCENTIVE IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. Failure of an Advocate to comply may result in losing the Incentive and may be a violation of laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. Advocates can use the default language provided on the online form to share their Referral Link. Advocates may not attempt to make referrals by sending unsolicited e-mails, by posting on social media in a manner that violates the terms of use of those sites, or otherwise by providing false information. When sending referral emails, Advocate must only send to a maximum of ten (10) email addresses at a time.


Rewards: For each Friend that completes an eligible purchase on M∙A∙C Cosmetics’s website directly through an Advocate’s Referral Link within thirty (30) days] from Advocate’s sharing of their Referral Link, the Advocate will receive an incentive which takes the form of a discount on a future eligible purchase at www.maccosmetics.com or a MAC retail store and the Friend will receive an incentive which takes the form of a discount on a future eligible purchase at www.maccosmetics.com or a MAC retail store.
Conditions: The following conditions apply to the Program and related rewards: • A Friend can only earn a Friend’s Incentive once in total. The Advocate may only earn the Advocate’s Incentive 100 times in total. For any one individual, a maximum of 101 Incentives can be earned (once as Friend, 100 as Advocate).


• If a Friend tries to redeem multiple referrals: M∙A∙C Cosmetics will only honor the first Referral Link through which a Friend completes an eligible purchase on M∙A∙C Cosmetics’s website and which is accepted and processed by M∙A∙C Cosmetics. If multiple Advocates have referred the same Friend and the Friend has activated multiple Referral Links, only one Advocate will be entitled to receive their Incentive and the Friend will only receive one Incentive. The Incentive will only be applied to the Advocate of the first Referral Link through which the Friend purchased his/her first eligible M∙A∙C Cosmetics purchase.
