CIGORA LOYALTY

1. Membership Eligibility and Overview

1.1. The Cigora Loyalty Program (“Program”) is offered at the sole discretion of Cigora (“Cigora”, “we,” “our” or “us”).  The Program is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual.  Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program.  Individuals who are residents of the United States (including its territories and possessions) and at least over the age of 21 years or older and who provide and maintain a valid email address are eligible to become members. 

1.2. By joining the Program and becoming a Program member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Program Terms and Conditions of Participation (“Program Terms”) and by any changes or modifications we may make.  You should review these Program Terms and the related policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Program as they may change from time to time.  These Program Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services.  By enrolling in the Program, you also agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy and our website Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference.  If you do not agree to these Program Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our website Terms and Conditions, you cannot participate in the Program.  The Program is void where prohibited by law.

2. Program Enrollment

2.1 Eligible individuals may only enroll in the Program by visiting www.cigora.com (collectively, the “Site”) and following the Program prompts to register for the Program.

2.2. You are required to provide your first name, last name, email address and to create a password to enroll.  You may also have the opportunity to provide us with your mailing address, birth date and mobile phone number, but this information is optional.  You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your account information and for updating it as required. You may update your personal information on the Site.

2.3. Only one Program account may be associated with a single email address.  In the event of a dispute over ownership of the Program membership account, the member will be deemed to be the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of enrollment.  For purposes of these Terms, the "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to the submitted email address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

3. How the Program Works and Program Benefits

3.1. The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and/or taking other Program related actions.  For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program and be signed into your online account at the time of purchase on the Site.  You are able to earn points and reach Program loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Program actions.  Once you reach a certain loyalty tier and/or earn a certain number of points, you may be eligible for certain benefits and rewards applicable to that tier and/or number of points, which benefits may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to reach Program loyalty tiers or earn points will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in-store, in marketing communications, social media, etc.).  Visit our Loyalty Page to learn more about earning points and reaching the Program loyalty tiers.

3.2. Cigora Loyalty Program is a tier-based program determined by the number of points a member has earned within a single year on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date of enrolment. There are 4 tiers with associated benefits:

Tier 1: Corona         Spend USD $0 –$249 per year
Tier 2: Robusto       Spend USD $250 – $499 per year
Tier 3: Toro              Spend USD $500 - $749 per year
Tier 4: Churchill      Spend USD $750+ per year

When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Tier 1 and be eligible for all the benefits Tier 1 members receive. Once you spend at least $250 in your first year, you’ll be automatically moved up to Tier 2. If you spend USD $500 or more in your first year, you’ll qualify for Tier 3 and so on.

Your status in a particular tier is good for the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to spend enough on eligible purchases to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, during your first year, you’ll maintain Tier 2 status during your second year. But, if you spend less than USD $250 on eligible purchases and qualifying activities during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1 status on your second-anniversary date.

3.3. Cigora Loyalty Program members receive 1 point for every $1 spent on eligible purchases on cigora.com*. Eligible purchases include regular-priced merchandise and exclude eGift Cards, sales tax, state fees, discounts, shipping and delivery charges and/or other excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time. All points earned from purchases on the Site are pending until your order ships, at which point they are fully matured and capable of redemption.

4. Program Benefits and Rewards

4.1. As a member, you earn points that determine your points benefits plus tier levels and tier benefits. To redeem offers and rewards, you must have accumulated the minimum number of points as established by us for a particular benefit.  Product rewards and samples are shipped with product purchases on the Site only.  Points may never be exchanged for cash.  You must be logged in to your Program account to use your benefits.  You will find your eligible offers and rewards (with offer codes if applicable) listed in your personal account.  Qualifying members will receive email invitations when event rewards are available if they have not opted-out of receiving Program emails.

4.1.1. Points Benefits: At different point levels, you will be able to redeem your points for rewards that can be used in conjunction with a purchase on cigora.com. These rewards are based on the total number of points you have accumulated in a single year as listed below. You may redeem one reward per transaction on cigora.com. You must redeem your available points prior to your anniversary date, or the available rewards will expire. On your anniversary date, your points reset to 0 and you start accumulating new points and earning new rewards.

4.1.2. Tier Benefits: Certain benefits are based on tier achieved and you are eligible for these benefits while you are in that tier regardless of the number of points you currently have. Tier benefits can only be redeemed on Cigora.com. On your anniversary date, even though your points reset to zero, your initial tier status for the year is determined by the total number of points you earned in the prior year.

4.2. Offers and rewards are available while supplies last and substitutions made by us in our sole discretion may occur. If your online order is not completed for any reason, any offers or rewards will be removed from your shopping basket and may no longer be available. You are not required to redeem your accumulated rewards and/or benefits. We are unable to reship offers or rewards if they arrive damaged, if you received the wrong one or if one is missing from your order. In the event an offer or reward arrives damaged, you received the wrong one, or one is missing from your order, please contact Customer Service.

4.3. Neither accounts nor Program rewards, benefits and/or points may be shared or combined.  Only the member paying for the products may accumulate rewards, benefits and/or points.  Members will not receive rewards, benefits and/or points on purchases which are reimbursed by corporations or other organizations ineligible to participate in the Program.

4.4. Rewards, benefits and/or points earned through the Program have no cash value, are non-transferable, and you have no property rights in or to rewards or other Program benefits.  Points credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if part or all of the purchase is returned or cancelled or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Terms.  The sale, barter, transfer, or assignment of any rewards or benefits offered through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited.

4.5. Rewards cannot be exchanged or returned for points, another product or a monetary refund.

4.6. The products and services available through the Program and any samples that we may provide to you are for personal use only. You may not sell or resell any of the products, services, or samples you purchase or otherwise receive from us. We reserve the right, without notice, to cancel or reduce the quantity of any order to be filled and/or any products or services to be provided to you that we believe, in our sole discretion, may result in the violation of our Terms.

4.7. To be eligible for points, purchase must be made on qualifying Cigora  products. Qualifying products include regular priced merchandise and exclude eGift Cards, sales tax, state fees, discounts, shipping and delivery charges and/or other excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time.

4.8. We are not responsible for rewards, benefits and/or points lost or redeemed due to fraudulent activity.

4.9. We reserve the right to change Program benefits, how you reach each Program tier, how you earn points and how we evaluate and reward your eligible purchases and/or other Program activity.  We reserve the right to place limits on the number of purchases or activities that are eligible for the Program and/or for any given tier or point level, the number or types of rewards or benefits you may receive or earn in any given tier or at any given point level, in a given time period or for the duration of the Program, and/or any combination thereof. 

4.10. If you have concerns that a purchase or other activity was not properly applied to your account, you should contact Cigora Customer Service or by calling 1.800.605.4451.  Your email must specify your name and email address associated with the Program, the date of the Program activity, and the issue(s) you encountered.  This email must be sent no more than forty-five (45) days after the date the purchase or other Program activity took place.  We are not responsible for late notifications about purchases or other Program activities not being credited to an account.

4.11. Rewards can only be redeemed on the Site, unless otherwise noted by Cigora .

5. Termination and Modification

5.1. The Program and its benefits are offered at our sole discretion.  We may, in our discretion, cancel, modify, restrict or terminate these Program Terms, our FAQs, and/or the Program or any aspect or feature of the Program at any time without prior notice, even though such changes may affect the value of rewards or benefits already accumulated or earned and/or the ability to redeem accumulated rewards or benefits. 

5.2. We reserve the right to exclude you from or to discontinue your participation in the Program and to audit your membership account at any time, in our sole discretion.  Any suspected abuse of the Program, failure to follow any Program Terms, membership inactivity (i.e. no points earned or redeemed) for more than 24 months, illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation or other conduct inconsistent with these Program Terms and/or detrimental to us or our interests, including without limitation, any suspected illegal, fraudulent other unauthorized use of any Program rewards, points, cards, credits, vouchers, coupons and/or certificates, may result in the revocation of your membership and make you ineligible for further participation in the Program.  If your membership is revoked, any rewards or benefits in your account will automatically expire and your access to the Program and features will automatically terminate. If we suspect illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or violation of these Terms, we also have the right to take appropriate legal action, in our sole discretion.

When you use the CIGORA sites, various technologies such as cookies, local shared objects, and web beacons (generally referred to as "Data Technologies"), are used to automatically collect information. "Cookies" are small identifiers sent from a web server that are stored on your device for the purpose of identifying your browser or storing information or settings in your browser. "Local shared objects," or “LSOs,” sometimes known as Flash cookies, may be used to store your preferences or display content based upon what you have viewed on various websites to personalize your visit. A "web beacon" (e.g. Internet tag, pixel tag or clear pixel GIF), links web pages to web servers and their cookies, and may be used to identify you and monitor your activity on the CIGORA sites. Anonymous advertising identifiers are increasingly being used on mobile devices in a manner similar to cookies. When we refer to Data Technologies, we are including all current and similar future technologies.

One or more Data Technologies may be used on the CIGORA sites and other websites and mobile applications (that may not be the CIGORA sites) used by us, by another party on our behalf, or by third parties in accordance with their privacy policies. Data Technologies may be used by us and others, on our behalf and on their own behalf, to collect information about you that may be added to your user profile and used to connect information about you from different sources, websites, devices, and mobile applications. This information may be used to more effectively market our products and services, and those of our affiliates and third parties, that may be of interest to you.

We may use a trackable toll-free telephone number in advertisements. If you call one of these uniquely generated toll-free numbers, we (or a service provider acting on our behalf) may collect non-personally identifiable information about the call (e.g. date, time, duration), as well as personally identifiable information (e.g. your name, and the telephone number from which your call originated).

Videos. We may target and track the videos you view on the CIGORA sites. You consent to our tracking of your video viewing through the CIGORA sites or third-party social media for up to two years or as permitted by applicable law.

Location Information. We use location information to provide location-based services and content. You can adjust the setting on your device(s) to limit tracking or to decline cookies, but as a result you may not be able to use certain features of the CIGORA sites or Content or take full advantage of all of our offerings.

Publicly Posted Information. Information that you make available to us and others via social media networks, forums, blogs, list serves, chat rooms or similar functionality is public information that we or others may share or use in accordance with the law.

Combined Information and Information from Other Sources. We may combine information that you provide to us, directly or indirectly, through our affiliates and other sources, with other information that is automatically collected. The combined information may include information about your use of the CIGORA sites, your use of other websites, devices and mobile applications and information from our affiliates and other sources.

How We May Use The Information We Collect

We may use information we collect for various business purposes including:

1. for everyday business purposes, such as establishing and managing your user account, for accounting and financial purposes such as processing and collecting payments, providing the products and services you request, responding to your queries, and providing customer support;

2. to offer you our products or services and/or the products or services of others;

3. to communicate about, and administer your participation in, special events, programs, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, and other offers or promotions;

4. to enable you to interact with CIGORA and other users through various means, such as through message boards, blogs and social media;

5. to evaluate and improve our business, including developing new products and services and analyzing the effectiveness of products, services, applications, and websites;

6. to diagnose and address technical and service problems;

7. to perform data analyses, including market and consumer research, trend analysis, demographic analysis, and financial analysis;

9. to comply with applicable legal requirements and our policies; and

10. to contact you via telephone, email, mail, text, or chat. We will obtain your consent to contact you in the manner required by law.

Third Party Applications, Widgets, and Social Media

We may include applications or widgets from social media providers that allow interaction or content sharing by their users. These widgets, such as a Facebook "Share" or "Like" button, are visible to you on the web page you visit. Integration between the CIGORA and social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and others may allow social media networks in which you participate to collect information about you, and additionally to potentially share any or all of your information with us. Please visit the applicable social media network’s privacy policy to better understand their data collection practices and the choices they make available to you. The privacy policy of the social media network controls the collection, use and disclosure of all personal information transmitted to that network. Any information we receive by these means will be treated and/or processed according to this Privacy Policy.

Advertising Networks

Advertising that is customized based on predictions generated over time from your visits across different websites, devices and mobile applications is sometimes called "online behavioral" or "interest-based" advertising. We may partner with advertising networks, which are companies that deliver targeted advertisements to consumers. They may provide customization, auditing, research and reporting for us, our affiliates and other advertisers. This data collection takes place both on the CIGORA sites and on third-party’s websites and mobile applications, allowing CIGORA and our business partners to deliver targeted advertising, enhance marketing programs and help track the effectiveness of our targeting advertising. Our advertising networks also may use this information to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their respective advertising audiences and to measure the effectiveness of their advertising in accordance with their privacy policies.

We do not provide information that is directly associated with a specific person (such as name and address) to an advertising network when you interact with or view a customized advertisement. However, when you view or interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may assume that you are interested in the subject matter of the advertisement.

As noted above, you can set your device or browser to accept or reject most cookies, or at least notify you in most situations where the technology is offered. In addition, the advertising companies we engage may participate in one of the following self-regulatory programs for online behavioral advertising, which provide the associated user opt-outs:

• Network Advertising Initiative (https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices) (US Only)

• Digital Advertising Alliance (https://www.aboutads.info/choices/) (US Only)

You may set a Do Not Track preference in your Web browser. Please note that even if you reject such technology, you may continue to receive advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your specific interests.

How We Store and Secure Your Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel, and physical security measures designed to safeguard information about you in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. Of course, despite these measures, we cannot guarantee perfect security of networks, servers, and databases we operate or that are operated on our behalf. Please note that we will never email you asking for account information like your username, date of birth, credit card information, or other personal information. Finally, we will never email you with attachments that can be opened. If you received a suspicious email that appears to be from us, please contact us.

Most if not all the personal information is stored in the United States. By providing us with any personal information, you understand that your information may be transferred, processed, or stored outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have a different data protection regime from the country in which you reside. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal information. 

We will retain your personal information for as long as “reasonably necessary” for the specific purposes we have disclosed to you, such as to provide services to you (for example, as long as you maintain an online account with us) or as needed to fulfill our own obligations, such as preventing fraud, meeting regulatory requirements, resolving disputes, improving our services or maintaining security, and in each case, as consistent with applicable law. We may retain non-personal information that has been sufficiently aggregated or anonymized for a longer period.

Information We Share

We do not sell or otherwise share information about you that we collect or receive, except as described below:

1. Affiliates, Subsidiaries and Business Partners. We may share your information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and business partners in the U.S. and worldwide for the purposes described above and for other general business administration purposes.

To opt-out of such sharing, please see the “Contact for More Information” section below.

2. Our Service Providers. We may engage certain vendors to provide the services offered through or in connection with the CIGORA Services on our behalf.

3. Third Party Promotions or Co-Sponsored Promotions. In the event that you choose to participate in a survey, sweepstakes, contest or other promotion conducted by a third party, or that is co-sponsored by CIGORA and a third party, you may be asked to disclose personal information to that third party. Once personal information is voluntarily disclosed by you in conjunction with such a third party or co-sponsored promotion, the subsequent use or disclosure of such information will be subject to a third party’s privacy policies and practices. Please note that any such third party or co-sponsored promotion will be conspicuously identified and, as such, your participation and disclosure of personal information is strictly voluntary.

4. Corporate and Asset Transactions. If we sell all or substantially all of our business or sell or transfer all or a material part of our assets or are otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a substantial part of our business, we may transfer all information we have collected and stored, including personal information, to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.

COPYRIGHT POLICY
If you believe that any User Content or other work or material residing on or accessible through the Sites or the services has been copied or used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may provide us with written notification of your claim in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). Specifically, please send a written notification of copyright infringement by regular mail (not e-mail) to the following DMCA designated agent: 
LV Penn Sales/ DMCA Agent
9935 Santa Monica Blvd #766,
Beverly Hills, CA 90212

To be effective under the DMCA, the written notification must include the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit LV Penn Sales to locate the material;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit LV Penn Sales to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and if available an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Once proper infringement notification is received by the designated agent, it is LV Penn Sales’s policy to: (a) remove or disable access to the infringing material; (b) notify the provider of the material or user that it has removed or disabled access to such material; and (c) terminate repeat infringers’ access to the Sites and the services.

A person who receives a notification of alleged copyright infringement, and believes that the claim is erroneous, may submit a counter notification to LV Penn Sales’s designated agent within thirty (30) days of the date the material was removed from the Sites. To be effective, a counter notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the person submitting the counter notification;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the person submitting the counter notification has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
• The name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the counter notification and a statement that such person consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if such person’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which LV Penn Sales may be found, and that such person shall accept service of process from the person who provided the infringement notification or from their agent.

Upon receipt of a counter notification, containing the information as outlined above, LV Penn Sales shall promptly provide the complaining party with a copy of such counter notification and shall inform the complaining party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it. LV Penn Sales shall replace the removed material or cease disabling access to the material within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the counter notification, provided LV Penn Sales’s Designated Agent has not received notice from the complaining party that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity on the Sites or the services.

ABOUT US

What is Cigora?

The short answer: Cigora is the next generation of cigars online.

Looking for a little more detail? Cigora is a brand-new way to experience and interact with cigars. Our goal is to combine all the community aspects that make this hobby so great with educational materials from industry experts and an easy-to-navigate store stocked with the best cigars we can find – whether they’re boutique, limited edition, or industry staples.

Let’s talk about these three topics in a little more depth.

1. The Community

The Community of Cigora is the online lounge you’ve been looking for. Traditional brick and mortar lounges will never be replaced, but unfortunately, we live in a world where they’re just not always available. Whether it is because of your location, the times of the day you have available to work or relax, or the selection that your local lounge stocks, there’s a variety of factors outside of your control that can lock you out of being able to enjoy and discuss cigars they way you want.

The Cigora lounge is an always open, always online resource full of like-minded cigar enthusiasts that are ready to answer your questions, offer advice, and just generally engage in our shared love of cigars.

In addition to a great community of cigar lovers across the nation, the Cigora community includes industry veterans and is open to your favorite brands or cigar manufacturers to directly interact. We hope to offer you the definitive resource for any of the information you’re looking for in the world of cigars along with virtual events, community minded cigar reviews and experiences, and more.

2. The Store

What’s a great cigar website without a selection of the best cigars? Cigora offers a curated assortment of our favorite brands from the smallest, hottest boutique operations to seasoned industry icons. The Cigora online store seeks to be a clean, simple approach to buying cigars, cutters, lighters, and humidors and offers competitive pricing, fast shipping, and gold standard customer service.

If you’re looking for some great recommendations, feel free to check out our Staff Picks or Best Sellers list. Both of these categories are constantly updated with the latest and greatest cigars that our staff and our community can’t get enough of. Know what you’re looking for? Search for the brand name and find what you need – and if we aren’t carrying something you want, let us know. Our selection is constantly growing and evolving to stay on top of the industry.

Or, if you just want to take it all in, check out our List of Brands. Here, you’ll find everything that the site has to offer, with some featured brands up top, and a full alphabetical listing of all of the brands and blends we have in stock below.

3. The Blog

There’s a lot to learn in the world of cigars, and our Product Blog is the best place to increase your knowledge. Whether you’re looking for Cigar 101 type materials like and Intro to Humidors or information about Cigar Tobacco Growing Regions, or you want to see our staff’s expert reviews (like this one on the Sobremesa Brulee) and pairing recommendations (like our Guide to Pairing Whiskey & Cigars), the Cigora Product Blog is our place to share with you everything we’ve discovered on our personal journeys throughout the industry and hobby.

And of course, this blog is interactive. If you have a question or suggestion for an article you’d like to see, or a cigar you’d like us to review, drop us a comment and we’ll get back to you.

We’re dedicated to making Cigora your one-stop resource for learning, talking about, and buying cigars online, but we need you to make it the best it can be. Join the community today and let’s build something that changes the cigar experience forever.

Age Verification

Why do we verify your age?

We do not sell our products to anyone under the age of 21. We use a non-affiliated third-party company, Veratad Technologies, LLC, to verify that you are who you say you are and to confirm that you are 21 or older.

How does Veratad’s Age Verification work?

Veratad Age and Identity Verification Solution Service uses multiple trusted data sources containing billions of public records to return an age validation based on the personal information you submit. This service is specifically designed to validate and protect your identity while maintaining the highest level of consumer privacy when processing online transactions.

Access to the public records allows Veratad to validate the information you provide and in some cases, depending on the nature of your purchase, to present a series of multiple choice questions based on non-credit related (“out-of-wallet”) historical facts about you. These facts are obtained by instantaneously scanning billions of public records from trusted data sources containing information that generally would not be found in your wallet if lost or stolen.

Is the information I provide secure?

Veratad’s secure 256-bit encryption technology ensures the safe delivery of the information you provide online. In addition, Veratad does not store your sensitive personal information or share (or sell) any data with other third parties. This practice assures you that unauthorized parties cannot gain access to your sensitive personal information.

What happens if I cannot be verified by the Age Verification process?

A small percentage of shoppers may not be verifiable due to limited availability of publicly available information in the age verification databases. If this happens, we will attempt to contact you via phone and email to verify your age. We typically require a copy of your driver's license or some other form of government issued ID that verifies your date of birth.

I live outside of the US, can I be verified?

Our use of Veratad's Age Verification is based on US records and therefore verification of residing outside the US is unavailable, unless you are using a military address outside the US Individuals in all other countries will be subject to our manual review process described in the previous section.
