18 AG1 Refer a Friend program
18 AG1 Refer a Friend program
The AG1 Refer a Friend program is subject to these Terms and Conditions and AG1's Privacy Policy, as well as the following additional terms and conditions for the AG1 Refer a Friend program:
Referrer. Any natural person can refer a friend (a "Referred Customer") as a "Referrer", regardless of whether the referrer is a new or existing AG1 customer. Referrers can refer as many customers as they wish. The referred customer and the referrer cannot be the same natural person (e.g. by using different email addresses). The assessment is at the sole discretion of AG1.
Qualified Referral. A Qualified Referral is the conclusion of a subscription contract by a Referred Customer by means of an unique referral link from the AG1 Refer a Friend program on www.drinkAG1.com via the Euro checkout system (Europe). Referrals without using such link will not be accepted. The AG1 Refer a Friend program cannot be used by users of other non-Euro checkout systems.
Referred Customers. For a Qualified Referral, the Referred Customer must be a natural person who has never purchased from an AG1 online shop before (new customer), regardless of the possible use of different email addresses or other contact details. Each natural person can only be a Referred Customer once, i.e. further/repeated purchases by a customer do not count as a Qualified Referral. The assessment is at the sole discretion of AG1.
Referral Rewards. For each Qualified Referral that complies with these conditions, the Referrer receives a referral reward in the form of a promotional code ("Reward"). The Reward may only be redeemed personally by the referrer and is not transferable.
Reward Payments. Rewards are provided as single, one-time use promotional codes in the amount stated in the AG1 Refer a Friend program, which can be redeemed for a future purchase.
Only one promotional code can be redeemed per purchase. Multiple promotional codes, regardless of their nature or origin, cannot be redeemed in the same purchase.
Promotional codes can be redeemed at checkout on www.drinkAG1.com by adding the promotional code to the relevant field prior to submitting payment. Promotional codes may also be redeemed by AG1 subscribers within the customer portal by adding the promotional code in the relevant field to their next order. Once the code has been added to the next order, the reward is automatically applied to the next delivery. The referrer can redeem further codes in the same way for the subsequent delivery after this delivery has been sent.
The right to redeem a reward expires after one year from their issuance.
Rewards can only be used to purchase products in the AG1 online shop and are not redeemable for cash or gift cards. Rewards can only be redeemed for purchases in euros. The referrer is responsible for all tax liabilities resulting from Rewards.
Eligibility. Only natural persons in the European Union, Switzerland and Norway are eligible to participate in the AG1 Refer a Friend program. The AG1 Refer a Friend program may not be used by businesses or corporations or for affiliate lead generation.
Misuse. Any misuse of the AG1 Refer a Friend program is prohibited. This includes in particular circumvention by using other contact details by the same person, or the use of an intermediary if the actual beneficiary is excluded from the AG1 Refer a Friend program. The assessment is at the sole discretion of AG1.
No Spam. The AG1 Refer a Friend program is designed to avoid "spamming" and unreasonable harassment of the Referred Customers. The Referrer must also comply with all applicable “spam” laws and unreasonable harassment. In particular, referral messages must be created and sent in a personal manner by the Referrer. Bulk email distribution via mailing lists is not permitted unless the Referrer has the effective permission of the message recipients to send third-party advertising to them. Any sending of the referral link that could be considered unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under applicable law is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of the customer account and exclusion from AG1 Refer a Friend program.
Right to Close Accounts. AG1 reserves the right to close the account(s) of any Referrer and/or Referred Customer and to request proper payment if the Referrer and/or Referred Customer attempts to use the AG1 Refer a Friend program in an unauthorized manner. The assessment is at the sole discretion of AG1.
Right to Cancel the Program or Change Terms. AG1 reserves the right to terminate the AG1 Refer a Friend program or change its terms and conditions at any time at its sole discretion. Any unclaimed Rewards will expire at the time the change takes effect. The section "Changes to the GTC" conditions below applies.
