Members of the Tamron VIP Club may attend a Tamron Excursion Workshop at a discount as per their level of membership. VIP members are entitled to use the discount once during the life of the program, but may attend any excursion workshop at regular pricing. Excursions will vary in duration, activity, location and pricing.** Tamron Excursion Workshop participants are responsible for airfare and travel to/from airport and destination. The Excursion Workshops will include hotel, meals, seminars, in-the-field instruction, lens loaners, and transportation to/from field events. VIPs will receive by email exclusive advance notification of Excursions as specified in member level program perks prior to open registration. The appropriate discount amount will be reimbursed by check to the participating VIP after the start of the Excursion Workshop. If the price of the selected Excursion is less than the applicable discount, there will be no reimbursement of the difference. The Excursion discount coupon has no cash value and may be applied only to Tamron Excursion Workshops.
*Excursions will be published on the Tamron website in the events section and new Excursions may be added from time to time, so check back often. The Excursions will vary in duration, activity, location and pricing.

Thank you for reviewing these terms and conditions (“Terms”) for the Tamron VIP Club Loyalty Program (“VIP Club”). These Terms are between you and Tamron USA, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“Tamron” or “us” or “we”) and govern our respective rights and obligations. Your membership in the VIP Club is subject to these Terms and our Privacy Notice. These Terms, together with applicable terms related to any promotional offers provided to you for use with the VIP Club, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tamron as it relates to the VIP Club. By enrolling, and continuing to use the VIP Club, you accept these terms, conditions, limitations and requirements. Subject to our obligations under applicable law, we may, at our sole discretion, make changes to any of the terms and conditions of these Terms or terminate the VIP Club. In such circumstances, we will provide you a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of the changes in accordance with applicable laws.
The purpose of the VIP Club is to reward loyalty to the Tamron brand from current Tamron customers that register eligible Tamron product purchases (“Eligible Purchases,” as defined herein). As described further in these Terms, the VIP Club will have three levels that owners can reach by registering Eligible Purchases.
Tamron customers eligible for VIP Club membership are identified through Tamron’s online warranty registration system (the “Registration System”). Tamron customers must have completed registration of their Eligible Purchases through the Registration System by January 15 to be considered for VIP Club membership at any level for the next calendar year. In order to qualify for VIP Club membership at any level, you must have (i) made the required number of Eligible Purchases; AND (ii) completed registration of such Eligible Purchases through the Registration System.
The VIP Club is open to individual U.S. and Canadian residents at least 14 years of age. If you are between 14 and the age of majority (18 or 19 years old, depending on where you live), you may join the VIP Club only with the permission of a parent or guardian. Employees of Tamron and their families and employees and owners of Tamron retailers are not eligible.
To complete your membership in the VIP Club (i.e., become a VIP Club “Member”) you must provide (a) a unique email address and the same first name and last name as the Eligible Purchases registered through the Registration System; or (b) the mailing address and the same first name and last name as the Eligible Purchases registered through the Registration System. Tamron is not responsible for inaccurate or incomplete information uploaded into the Registration System.
The level that a new Tamron customer or an existing VIP Club Member attains will be evaluated on an annual basis. VIP Club membership status will be announced to all Members in February of each year, following the close of sales and registration on Jan 15 of same year. VIP Club membership status will only be assessed once per year. Members are contacted via email to confirm membership level attained and to obtain a current mailing address for membership package.
If a Tamron customer is not contacted about VIP Club membership and believes that they meet the VIP Club eligibility requirements, they can contact the Tamron customer service department at 1-800-827-8880 with proper documentation to validate registration of Eligible Purchases. Customers determined to have purchased and completed registration of products but were not discoverable due to inaccurate information uploaded into the Registration System will be admitted to the VIP Club on February 15 of the following year. Customers who did not register their prior Eligible Purchases may do so at any time but will not be considered for VIP Club membership until February 15 of the following year.
Eligible Purchases include any Tamron model lenses that were current at the time of purchase. Current lenses are listed on the Tamron Americas website at http://www.tamron-americas.com. Teleconverters and Tap-In Console are not considered Eligible Purchases. Multiple purchases of same lens model are considered Eligible Purchases, but only up to three (3) of the same model per year. VIP Club membership may not be shared with other users of the lens. Each Member must own his/her own unique Tamron model lens. Grey market, open stock, used and refurbished lenses are not eligible purchases. Only new and current Tamron lenses purchased from an authorized Tamron Americas retailer are eligible purchases.
The VIP Club has three membership levels:
• Silver: Member is the registered owner of three (3) to four (4) Tamron unique models since 2011
• Gold: Member is the registered owner of five (5) Tamron unique models since 2011
• Platinum: Member is the registered owner of six (6) or more Tamron unique models since 2011
Members retain status for five years unless the Member makes another Eligible Purchase and completed registration of such Eligible Purchase through the Registration System prior to the expiration of the membership. Tamron reserves the right to change membership level perks (“Perks”) at any time without notice. The gifts, apparel, and Tamron Excursion Workshop Perks are limited to once during a Member’s lifetime, without regard to whether the Member subsequently attains a membership level that would otherwise re-qualify the Member for such Perks. Void where prohibited.
See schedule above.
The information you provide as a Member of the VIP Club or otherwise in connection with your membership, including your name, contact information (e.g., e-mail address, mailing addresses, phone number), purchasing habits, and other information provided as part of your Membership, will be enrolled for use in connection with Tamron’s general business and marketing purposes, subject to Tamron’s Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”), which is available at https://tamron-usa.com/privacy_notice.html. The Privacy Notice may be updated from time to time, in which case your continued use of the VIP Club shall be deemed consent to the current version of the Privacy Notice.
Membership in the VIP Club has no monetary or tangible value. Membership may not be transferred or assigned. An Eligible Purchase may only be claimed by the Tamron customer that registers the Eligible Purchase through the Registration System. Additional restrictions may apply to Tamron employees.
You may cancel your VIP Club membership at any time by contacting 1-800-827-8880 x 409. If your membership is canceled, either by you or by us, you will forfeit any remaining Perks. Subject to our Privacy Notice, cancellation of your membership will not result in erasure of any information provided by or gathered regarding you. We may terminate your membership in the VIP Club because of suspected or actual conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates these Terms or any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of the VIP Club membership, or is harmful to our interests or another Tamron customer. We reserve the right to deny future membership in the VIP Club if we deem your conduct to violate these Terms. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.
For information about your membership, contact Tamron by emailing tamronvip@tamron.com.
We may, in our sole DISCRETION, CHANGE THESE TERMS, THE PRIVACY NOTICE, OR ANY ASPECT OF VIP CLUB MEMBERSHIP IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. IF ANY CHANGE TO THESE TERMS IS FOUND INVALID, VOID, OR FOR ANY REASON UNENFORCEABLE, THAT CHANGE IS SEVERABLE AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY REMAINING CHANGES OR CONDITIONS. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP IN THE VIP CLUB AFTER WE CHANGE THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
The following provision is not applicable to residents of Quebec to whom the Quebec Consumer Protection Act applies.
IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE VIP CLUB. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE ELIGIBLE PURCHASE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTE. THESE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND WILL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR TAMRON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL, WILLFUL, RECKLESS, OR MALICIOUS MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.
The following provision is not applicable to residents of Quebec to whom the Quebec Consumer Protection Act applies.
IN CONSIDERATION FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE VIP CLUB, YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY DISPUTE WITH OR CLAIM AGAINST TAMRON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE VIP CLUB, THESE TERMS OR ANY PERKS, THEN YOU WILL RESOLVE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY. YOU AGREE THAT TAMRON AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
Arbitration will be administered according to the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/.
You agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim would be decided by a judge, not a jury.
The following provision is not applicable to residents of Quebec to whom the Quebec Consumer Protection Act applies.
IN CONSIDERATION FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE VIP CLUB, YOU AGREE THAT THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THEN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, WILL GOVERN THESE TERMS AND APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AGAINST TAMRON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE VIP CLUB.
The parties to this Agreement hereby confirm their express wish that this Agreement, as well as all other documents related to it, including but not limited to all confirmations, notices, waivers, consents and other communications between the parties in connection with this Agreement be in the English language only and declare themselves satisfied with this; les parties aux présentes confirment leur volonté expresse de voir la présente Convention, de même que tous les documents qui s’y rattachent, incluant, mais non de façon limitative, tous les confirmations, avis, renonciations, consentements et autres communications entre les parties, rédigés en langue anglaise seulement et s’en déclarent satisfaites.
