Introduction

The Intel® Retail Edge Program ("the Program") consists of a product training Program designed for retail and servicer sales forces, sales people of Original Equipment Manufacturers using Intel® technology (“OEM sales people”) and consumer sales-focused Intel® Channel Program members.

Eligibility

The program, including the online shop (available only in some countries), prize draws and other special offers or promotions, is open to: sales forces of retailers and services that have informed Intel® at the headquarters level that they would like to participate in the Program, OEM sales people and consumer sales-focused Intel® Channel Program members in Europe, Middle East and Africa, who are employees of the participating companies, have an active account with the Program, and are hereafter referred to as "Members". Accounts are limited to one per person. Accounts are non-transferable. Accounts are deactivated after 180 days of inactivity. Participating Members must ensure that they obtain the consent of their employer before entering. To the extent that is permitted by the relevant rules on conflict of laws the Intel® Retail Edge Program is governed by the laws of England and Wales excluding choice of law principles.

Members must be 18 years of age to participate in special offers and promotions associated with the Program. To ensure compliance with this rule, members must select "yes" to the statement that they are 18 years of age or older during site registration. If "no" is selected, registration to the site is not permitted.

Members must be employed in one of the following eligible positions: in-store business sales, PC sales, Software sales, Computer peripherals sales, Computer service, PC training, PC department management, Online Sales/Call Centre, Store management, PC Buyer and/or Service Provider Sales and Support.

Members must meet all eligibility requirements to participate in the rewards portion of the Program, unless excepted above.

Deactivating Companies: Companies may be disqualified from the Program due to shop closure or if they become incompatible with the Program. Members at deactivated retail chains will be given a 30-day notice of the deactivation via e-mail. During this 30-day period, the members can participate in the Program, including account access and participation in the prize draws, Intel® Retail Edge Live events (where offered) and the shop (where offered.) If they would like to participate in these promotions, they, like, other members, must be verified.

Active Standing

If a member has earned no Credits online in the previous 180 days, he or she is considered inactive and removed from the system. At the time of deactivation, any Credits accrued and status level will be cleared, so that a member will have to start a new account if he or she rejoins the program at a later date. Member requests to be set to inactive standing result in removal from the system.

Members may refer other eligible salespeople to join the Program. Rewards for referrals are subject to change. Salespeople who are referred to the Program must join within 30 days for Credit earnings. Salespeople who are referred to the Program will be notified of the name and e-mail address of the referrer.

The Intel® Retail Edge Program is not a certification Program and completion of elements contained on this site does not authorise you to make representations on behalf of Intel or its products.
Any attempt to circumvent these requirements by intentionally falsifying information or by creating multiple accounts may result in disqualification.

Credits Eligibility

Only members employed by approved retail chains are eligible to participate in Credit earnings and redemption for rewards within the Program. OEM sales people and consumer sales-focused Intel® Channel Program members are not eligible to participate in Credit earnings and redemption for rewards.

Credits have no currency value. Credits may not be sold, purchased, or bartered. They may only be used for Program benefits by the person who earned them. Credits are void if transferred for cash or other consideration, except for valid Intel® Retail Edge Program transactions.

Credits are valid throughout the year as long as members sustain active standing.  Credits earned in current Intel® Retail Edge Program transactions may not be used for any subsequent Intel® Retail Edge Programs that may be offered by Intel.

User Conduct

Conduct should be guided by common sense, professional behaviour and basic etiquette, as well as the Program Terms and Conditions. There will be zero tolerance for illegal behaviour in the Program. Members must also obey the rules for use of third-party tools, and the rules of interactive service providers, national, local and regional laws, or foreign or international law where appropriate. Ignorance of the law is not an exemption.

Members are personally responsible for all communication and activity in the Program, including any content contributed, including discussions, e-mails, and Discussion Boards. Members indemnify and hold harmless Intel, its parent or its subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents from any liability or damages arising from conduct throughout the Program, including any content contributed.

Auctions

AUCTION & BID OVERVIEW: Members can participate in earn Credits for the opportunity to bid on Program items. Members are not required to participate in all Learning Activities or submit a bid. Bids must be submitted in pre-set increments and certain bidding instances containing items of higher value may require a larger incremental bid. Once a member submits a bid, the applicable amount of Credits will be temporarily removed from his/her account. If a member is the high bidder at the conclusion of bidding and is deemed an award recipient by their country’s Retail Channel Representative, the applicable amount of Credits will be permanently removed from the account and he/she will be notified (as described below). If a member is not the highest bidder for an item, all Credits submitted will be returned to his/her account. Members can participate in multiple bidding instances simultaneously; however, a member cannot bid using Credits that are temporarily being used on other bids in progress. To be eligible to receive prizes, make sure your shipping information is current.

AUCTION STARTING BID: Auction items will open with a starting bid to be set by each country’s Retail Channel Representative. A member must submit a bid equal to or greater than the applicable number of Credits specified to participate. For example, if an item is eligible to open with a starting bid of 1,000 Credits, the first bid must be 1,000 Credits or higher to submit.

AUCTION AWARD RECIPIENT NOTIFICATION: Auction award recipients will be notified by e-mail or in person by their country Retail Channel Representative. Return of award notification as undeliverable, the inability of Retail Channel Representatives to contact a potential award recipient within a reasonable time period or non-compliance with these Official Rules by any potential award recipient will result in disqualification and, at the Retail Channel Representative’s sole discretion, the item may be placed back up for bidding. Employment verification is required in order for a member to receive any prizes. Members can return a prize if it is deemed faulty. All prizes will be delivered by Retail Channel Representatives to the winning members at their place of employment.

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR ALL AUCTION ITEMS: No transfer, substitution or cash redemption of any item received is permitted, except by country Retail Channel Representatives, who reserve the right to substitute an item with one of comparable or greater value. All item details are at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Retail Channel Representatives reserve the option to limit the bidding of prizes for members who have already won the same type of prize, and to limit bidding on multiples of the same type of prize. Participants who have won a prize within 30 days of one auction may be restricted from bidding in another Auction. Auction items are dispatched four (4) to six (6) weeks from the closing date of the auction close.
