Customer Referral Program Terms & Conditions
1. Program Overview & Eligibility
- The Program: The Customer Referral Program allows existing customers ("Referrers") to earn rewards by inviting friends, family, or personal contacts ("Referred Customers") to make purchases on our store.
- Age Requirement: Participants (Referrers) must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their jurisdiction to participate in this program and receive rewards or payouts.
- Account Eligibility: Open to registered account holders in good standing. No formal application process is required—customers can access their unique referral link directly from their account dashboard or order confirmation page.
- Personal Use Only: Referral links are intended for personal, non-commercial sharing with personal contacts. Mass distribution on public coupon aggregators, deal sites, or paid advertisement channels is strictly prohibited.
2. Referral Rewards & Mechanics
-
The Referred Customer Benefit:
- A Referred Customer who accesses the store through an active referral link will receive a 5% discount applied to their qualifying order at checkout.
- One-Time Use Per Customer: The 5% referral discount code is valid for a single use only per individual customer. While multiple unique customers can use the same referral link, an individual customer cannot reuse the discount on subsequent orders.
- The Referrer Commission: For every qualifying order completed using a Referrer’s unique link, the Referrer earns a 3% commission based on the net sales value (excluding taxes, shipping, discounts, and returned items).
-
Payout Method & Flexibility: Commissions may be issued, at our sole discretion, as Store Credit (applicable toward future purchases) or as a Direct Cash Payout via our designated payment system.
- We reserve the right to alter the default payout channel (e.g., switching between cash payouts or store credit) or update minimum payout thresholds at any time upon notice.
- Maturation Period: Commissions are subject to a 60-day holding period from the date of the qualifying order to accommodate potential customer returns, cancellations, or adjustments.
3. Eligible Products
- Qualifying Purchases: Referral discounts and commissions apply exclusively to qualifying products listed on our platform.
- Exclusions: Gift cards, shipping fees, applicable sales taxes, and non-eligible products are excluded from commission calculations and discount eligibility.
4. Prohibited Tactics, Fraud & Misuse
- Self-Referrals Prohibited: Referrers cannot use their own referral links to place orders, create secondary/fake accounts, or attempt to claim commissions on their own purchases.
- Coupon Site & Paid Bidding Restrictions: Referral links may not be posted on public coupon, discount, or deal-scraping websites. Search engine bidding on brand names, trademark terms, or running paid ad campaigns using referral links is strictly banned.
- Spam & Mass Messaging: Unsolicited bulk emailing (spam), automated messaging, or posting links in irrelevant social media comment threads is strictly prohibited and violates CAN-SPAM regulations.
- System Abuse: Any attempt to manipulate tracking algorithms, use automated bots, or exploit technical glitches will result in immediate disqualification.
5. Fraud Monitoring & Clawbacks
- Order Cancellations & Refunds: If a Referred Customer returns a product, requests a refund, or initiates a credit card chargeback, any commission associated with that transaction will be automatically clawed back or deducted from the Referrer's balance.
- Fraud Holds: Orders flagged as high-risk, suspicious, or fraudulent will trigger an automatic freeze on related referral rewards pending internal verification.
6. Termination & Program Modifications
- Account Termination: We reserve the right to terminate a customer’s participation in the Referral Program and forfeit all accumulated, pending, or unredeemed commissions/credits if any violation of these terms occurs.
- Program Changes: We reserve the right to modify, pause, or terminate the Customer Referral Program, reward rates (including the 3% commission or 5% discount structures), payout methods, or these Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.
