Boink Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter, “we”, “us” or “SLUSHY”) offers a referral program (the “Referral Program”) by which existing Creators can introduce people who are interested in becoming Creators to SLUSHY and receive referral payments (each, a “Referral Fee”) from SLUSHY which are calculated and limited as described in these Referral Program Terms.
These Referral Program Terms form part of and are supplemental to the Terms of Use for Creators, and apply to anyone who participates in or uses the Referral Program.
1. Definitions:
Defined terms in these Referral Program Terms have the same meanings given to them in the Terms of Use for Creators. In addition, the following terms shall have the meanings prescribed below.
- “Referral Code” means a Referring Creator’s unique referral code that may be shared with any other User who wishes to become a Referred Creator.
- "Referring Creator" (also referred to as "you" or "your" in these Referral Program Terms) means the Creator who refers a Referred Creator.
- "Referred Creator" means the person who upgrades their new or existing Member Account to a Creator Account with a Referral Code.
2. Rules:
- You must be a Creator in order to participate in the Referral Program. If your Creator Account has been suspended or terminated by us for any reason or deleted by you, you will not be eligible to participate in the Referral Program.
- In order for a Referred Creator to successfully upgrade a Member Account, they must meet all requirements set forth in the Terms of Use for Creators, including, without limitation, that they must be residents of the United States of America, Canada or the United Kingdom, and they must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. If such Referred Creator does not meet the requirements to be a Creator, then we have the absolute right to reject your referral.
- You may share your Referral Code with any potential Referred Creator at any time in your sole discretion, provided that you comply with the Platform Rules, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions of the Referral Program. When sharing a Referral Code, you must not impersonate SLUSHY, hold yourself out as being affiliated with SLUSHY or otherwise give the impression that the Referral Code is being shared or promoted directly by SLUSHY. You may not use Google Ads or any similar advertising platform or search engine advertising service to share or promote the Referral Code. Upon our request, you will be required to disclose all methods by which you have shared the Referral Code.
- You may not sell your Referral Code(s) and any such sale will be considered a violation of these Referral Program Terms.
- In order for you to be credited with a referral, a Referred Creator must redeem your Referral Code. If someone upgrades their Member Account by any means other than by using your Referral Code, such Referred Creator’s Creator Account will not be linked to you and you will not receive any referral payment with respect to that referred Creator Account.
- [A Referred Creator will have seven (7) days from the date on which the Referred Creator initially redeems a Referral Code shared with them on the Platform (the “Referred Creator Registration Period”) to complete the Creator Verification Process (as defined in the Terms of Use for Creators) and finish setting up their Creator Account. You may retract a Referral Code shared with a Referred Creator at any time within the Referred Creator Registration Period in order to recoup the Referral Code to be shared with someone else.]
- If the Referred Creator is currently or has previously been a Creator on SLUSHY (whether under the same name or another name) you will not be eligible for a Referral Fee.
- If the Referred Creator sets up more than one Creator Account, we will make Referral Fee payments to you on the earnings made by the Referred Creator from their first Creator Account only. We will not pay any Referral Fee payments to you on any further Creator Accounts set up by the Referred Creator.
- We will not pay any Referral Fee payments to you on any referral of a Referred Creator which we determine in good faith is owned or operated by you, or is a party to any commercial relationship with you. As set forth in Section 4(b), you will be required to provide any and all information requested by us in order to enable us to determine whether the Referred Creator is owned or operated by you or if there is a commercial relationship between you and the Referred Creator.
