    HOYTS, and its respective officers, agents, employees, and related bodies corporate may refuse to record or honour Benefits in a Member’s Account, or if already recorded, may cancel such Benefits, if HOYTS cannot confirm that the HOYTS Points were properly issued or obtained. If a Member believes that any Account statement of Benefits in their Account is in error, Members must contact HOYTS Guest Experience team within 14 days from the date the Points were earned.
