Unity® Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
The new Unity® Rewards Program (the "Program" or “Unity Rewards Program”) is made available to all VSP® Network Providers (“You or Your”). This Program is void where prohibited by federal, state, or local law. VSP®, its affiliates and subsidiaries, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change, modify, or end this Program at any time. By participating in the Program, You agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions.
Participation.
THIS PROGRAM IS A TRADE PROMOTION AND IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. The Program is an industry trade promotional program pursuant to which VSP® Network Providers may earn rewards points on select VSP® Proprietary Brands that are redeemable through a specific online catalog containing a variety of merchandise.
The Program is open to all VSP® Network Providers located in one of the fifty United States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, that are not excluded, debarred, or suspended, nor owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by a person who is excluded, debarred, or suspended, from participation in (a) any Federal health care program as defined by 42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b(f), including, but to limited to, Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE, or (2) any State health care program, as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(h).
To qualify for the Program, You must be a VSP Network Provider with credit in good standing. By taking part in the Program, You expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, as they are amended from time to time at the sole discretion of VSP. Points earned within a calendar year must be redeemed by January 31st of the following year. Points will be subtracted from your account once you request a redemption. To report a problem with redemption of Your Program Points, you will need to contact VSP within 30 days of discovery of the issue. A claim for missing Program Points or a dispute in the award of Program Points must be submitted within three (3) months of discovery.
Terms and Conditions.
These Unity Rewards Program Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions") shall govern the operation of the Program, superseding any and all terms, conditions, rules, and practices previously in effect. In the event of a discrepancy between these Terms and Conditions and any advertising or other collateral material, the Terms and Conditions shall govern.
Program Period.
The Program is effective from January 1, 2025, onward, and shall continue, in annual increments based on the calendar year, until modified or canceled by VSP® or the sponsoring line of business. VSP reserves the right to modify or cancel the entire or part of the Program for any reason. Each calendar year under the Program shall be referred to as a “Program Year”.
Good Standing.
In order to earn rewards points under this Program, the Network Provider must remain in good standing with the sponsoring VSP line of business, which means, among other things, that the VSP Network Provider must be current on all payments due to VSP or the sponsoring VSP line of business, and eligible to participate under applicable federal and state law governing procurement of awards and rewards. To be clear, VSP may withhold and use any and all rewards, points, or other incentives under this Program to pay down any amounts owed to and/or all VSP lines of business.
Unity Program Points Details.
You will have the opportunity to earn Unity® Program Points (“Program Points”) on VSP Proprietary Brands (i.e., Unity®, Ethos®, TechShield®, SunSync®). Base Points (i.e., points earned on claims) will be awarded for select VSP Proprietary Brand Products, except for single vision lenses. However, single vision Unity lenses including Unity Via OfficePro; Unity SVx, SVxtreme, SVxtra; and Unity Relieve with a TechShield® Elite or TechShield® Blue Anti-reflective Coating (“AR”), and/or SunSync® will receive lens enhancement points. All SunSync® Light-Reactive Lenses will qualify for rewards. Only TechShield® Elite and TechShield® Blue AR will qualify for rewards. Furthermore, Base Points will not be rewarded on Private Pay orders. Essilor, Hoya and Zeiss lenses, as well as other unnamed competing brands, are not eligible for Program Points under this Program. Bonus Points are those earned from the Tiers and Multipliers, as detailed below.
Supplemental rewards programs on Unity® products may be available at some laboratories, increasing the potential savings to VSP Network Providers. Premium category VSP lenses and enhancements have a higher base Program Point value. The fastest way for VSP Network Providers to accumulate Program Points is through the purchases of the Unity Elite Suite™ lenses and enhancements.
Each point accrued has an approximate $1 value. Points have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash. Notice of any changes to the dollar value of Program Points will be communicated by email or telephone to the email or number provided by the VSP Network Provider. Eligible VSP Proprietary Brands may be added or removed throughout the duration of the Program at VSP’s sole and absolute discretion.
Program points will be calculated the first week following the program period month. A higher multiplier will be applied to Program Point balances of 101 Program Points and above. Program Point balances and respective multiplier are calculated by Tiers.
Tier 1 (101 points and up to 250 points): VSP Network Provider will receive a 2x multiplier.
Tier 2 (251 points and up to 500 points): VSP Network Provider will receive a 3x multiplier.
Tier 3 (501 points or greater): VSP Network Provider will receive a 4x multiplier.
Base Point accumulation will refresh and start new at the beginning of each new month and accumulate to the end of that month. Rewards Point balances that are “deposited” into the Network Provider’s redemption account will accumulate throughout the year if you have a Unity® Rewards account. While all eligible independent Network Providers will earn points under this Program, you must have a registered account at https://vspoptics.online-rewards.com/ in order to redeem Program Points until the end of each Program Year.
VSP reserves the right, without obligation and at its discretion, to audit any and all Program Points posted to the VSP Network Provider account. VSP reserves sole discretion to modify the Program Points if for any reason it cannot verify their accuracy or if there is any evidence of error in reporting, including but not limited to errors in data entry, whether intentional or inadvertent; participant ineligibility; or violations of the Terms and Conditions. A separate but similar PECAA multiplier program is available and paid through the IncentivEYES Rebate Program. Please see PECAA for the terms and conditions of its programs.
Program May be Suspended, Changed or Terminated.
VSP reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Program, in whole or in part; to add, delete or change participants; to modify, limit or suspend the use of or redemption of Points in any respect; to modify or change redemption procedures, including the number of Points required for particular Rewards; to modify, limit or suspend the collection of Points, including but not limited to imposing time limits and changes in Point values. VSP may make these changes even though the changes may affect the value of the Points already accumulated. You should not rely upon the continued availability of the Program, or any Rewards or other offers made in connection with the Program. All Points and Rewards are subject to availability and are subject to change and/or revocation without notice.
