Slash Referral Program Terms

These Referral Program Terms (the “Terms”) govern your participation in the Slash Referral Program (the “Program”). By clicking “Agree” or “Accept”, creating a Program account, sharing a referral link, or otherwise participating in the Program, you agree to these Terms.

These Terms incorporate by reference the Slash Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (together, the “Platform Terms”). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings in the Platform Terms. If these Terms conflict with the Platform Terms, these Terms control for purposes of the Program.

1. Eligibility; Enrollment

1. Who may participate. You must be a legal entity or an 18+ individual, capable of forming a binding contract, and not (a) a Slash employee or household member, (b) on any sanctions list, or (c) located in a jurisdiction where the Program is prohibited.
2. Enrollment. You enroll by completing the online onboarding and accepting these Terms via clickwrap. Slash may require identity and tax verification (e.g., W‑9/W‑8) before any payout.
3. Independent contractor. You participate as an independent contractor; no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created with Slash.

2. Acceptable Marketing; Compliance

1. Referral Link. You will be provided with a unique URL that when utilized by a referee, will direct that referee to Slash.
2. Laws & consents. By participating in the Program, you represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws and obtain all required consents when contacting potential prospects.
3. Prohibited conduct. In connection with the Program, you may not:
   1. send spam, auto‑dialed or pre‑recorded calls/texts without consent, or harvest addresses;
   2. make misleading, comparative, or unapproved claims about Slash or our products;
   3. bid on Slash Marks or confusingly similar terms in paid search; use coupon, promo‑code, or cashback sites; or cookie‑stuff;
   4. use malware, adware, or install toolbars;
   5. contact prospects on sites featuring illegal, deceptive, or offensive content;
   6. offer or provide incentives to prospects in cash or in kind.

3. No Promise of Acceptance

Slash evaluates and may approve or reject any prospect in its sole discretion. You will not refer individuals or entities on any prohibited or high‑risk lists that Slash provides.

4. Qualifying Referral; Attribution

1. A “Qualifying Referral” is a prospect who:
   1. first engages with Slash via your referral link (or other Slash‑approved method) and is not already in Slash’s active pipeline or customer list;
   2. is not an entity that you directly or indirectly own or control.
2. Attribution. Slash, in its sole discretion, will determine whether you have in fact successfully referred a customer to Slash. Slash’s good‑faith attribution determination is final. You will not be notified of whether a referred customer that has used your referral link has been approved or denied. You will receive a notification, which may be in the form of a referral bonus if the referral bonus criteria are met.

5. Referral Bonus; Changes

1. Slash will pay you a $300 referral bonus once your referred customer reaches $10,000 in eligible card spend, net of returns, chargebacks, disputes, credits, cash‑equivalent or quasi‑cash transactions (including gift cards, person‑to‑person transfers, money orders, wallet funding), fees, and any fraudulent or reversed transactions.
2. Payment is made at the end of the month following qualification.

6. Taxes

Bonuses are gross of taxes. Slash may withhold taxes from a payout where required and will issue tax forms as applicable. You are solely responsible for your taxes.

7. Program Suspension; Termination

1. Records. You will maintain reasonable records of referral activity for one year and provide them upon request. Slash may audit Program activity for suspected fraud, abuse, or noncompliance.
2. Suspension. At any time and in its sole discretion, Slash may suspend your participation in the Program, decline to accept new referrals, or reject any prospect, without liability to you.
3. Termination. Slash may terminate the Program at any time in its sole discretion for any reason or for no reason.
4. Effect. No bonuses accrue (a) on referrals submitted after your suspension; or (b) after your participation in the Program has been terminated, except for amounts already earned but unpaid as of the termination date. All unpaid bonuses are forfeited if Slash reasonably determines you engaged in illegal conduct, fraud, misuse, willful misconduct, or a material breach of these Terms or the Platform Terms.

8. Data

You shall not collect, process, or transmit personal data about prospects to Slash except through Slash‑approved methods and only as permitted by our Privacy Policy and these Terms.

9. Representations

You represent and warrant that you (a) will comply with all applicable laws, including anti‑bribery and anti‑corruption laws; and (b) are not owned or controlled by any person on an OFAC or similar sanctions list.

10. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Slash and its affiliates, officers, directors, and personnel from and against any third‑party claim, demand, action, or proceeding, and all resulting damages, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising out of: (i) your marketing of or representations regarding the Program; (ii) your violation of law (including TCPA/CAN‑SPAM, privacy, or data‑security); (iii) your use of Slash Marks except as permitted; or (iv) your breach of these Terms. Slash may select counsel and control the defense; you will not settle without Slash’s consent.

11. Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability

1. No warranties. The Program and bonuses are provided “as is” without representation or warranty, whether it is express, implied, or statutory. Without limiting the foregoing, Slash specifically disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
2. No indirect damages. Slash is not liable to you for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data, regardless of theory and even if advised of the possibility of the same.
3. Cap. Slash’s total liability to you arising out of or relating to the Program will not exceed the bonuses paid or payable to you in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute or claim between the parties arising from or relating to these Terms or the Program shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 and submitted to arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolutions Procedures, Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitrator shall follow the substantive law of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you agree that Slash has the right to bring a claim against you in the state or federal courts in California for injunctive relief, equitable relief, or otherwise arising from any potential or actual misappropriation or infringement of its intellectual property rights and you agree that venue is proper and that you are subject to personal jurisdiction in such forum.

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the claims between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any claim to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any claim to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. You agree that you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

13. Changes to the Program or Terms

Slash may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version. All changes take effect on posting. If you continue to participate after changes post, you accept the updated Terms.

Slash may provide notices via the Program portal, in‑product notifications, or email to the address in your Program account. You agree to keep your contact details current.

15. Miscellaneous

1. Entire Agreement. These Terms form the entire agreement for the Program and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding the Program.
2. No Waiver. A failure or delay by Slash to enforce any term is not a waiver of that term or any other term. A waiver must be in a signed writing to be effective, and any waiver applies only to the specific instance identified.
3. Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties’ intent; if modification is not possible, that provision will be severed and the remainder will continue in full force.
4. No Third‑Party Beneficiaries. There are no third‑party beneficiaries of these Terms.
5. Non‑Exclusivity. Participation in the Program is non‑exclusive; Slash may operate other referral, affiliate, or partner programs without restriction. You have no authority to bind Slash.
6. Publicity; Use of Name. You may not make public announcements about your participation in the Slash referral Program, or use Slash’s name, logo, or marks in press releases, websites, or marketing, except as approved in writing by Slash. Slash may identify you as a Program participant.
