Bumble and bumble Terms and Conditions

Program Terms

Effective Date: May 15, 2018

These Bumble and bumble Refer-a-Friend Program Terms (the “Terms”) govern your participation in the Bumble and bumble Refer-a-Friend Program (the “Program”) offered by Bumble and bumble (“Bumble and bumble”). Please read them carefully. By participating in the Program you are agreeing to these Terms, the Bumble and bumble Terms of Use and the Bumble and bumble Privacy Policy.

This Program is only valid for residents of the United States who are at least eighteen (18) years old. Individuals who are employed by Bumble and bumble or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies are not eligible to participate in the Program – either as an Advocate or Friend (each as defined below).

Refer-A-Friend Program: Bumble and bumble customers that have an online account with Bumble and bumble can refer their eligible friends, family members or colleagues (each, a “Friend”) to make a purchase on the Bumble and bumble website, bumbleandbumble.com (“Site”) following one of two methods described below. Once a customer makes a referral he/she becomes an “Advocate”. Option 1: An Advocate can complete the online form, entering the names and e-mail addresses of those eligible Friends he/she wants to refer and an email will be sent to the Friend(s) containing the Advocate’s unique referral link (“Referral Link”). Option 2: Alternatively, an Advocate can copy his/her Referral Link and share it with his/her Friend(s) by another method, such as social media or from a personal email account. Eligible Friends must not be existing Bumble and bumble customers and not have an existing active or inactive Bumble and bumble account.

Advocates cannot refer themselves or create multiple, fictitious or fake accounts with Bumble and bumble or participate in the Program as “Friends”. Any time that an Advocate posts, shares or sends their Referral Link, they must clearly explain that they earn a referral credit if a qualifying purchase is made by December 31, 2019 using their Referral Link. INFORMING FRIENDS THAT ADVOCATES EARN A REFERRAL CREDIT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. Failure of an Advocate to comply may result in losing referral credit and may be a violation of laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. Advocates can use the default language provided on the online form to share their Referral Link. Advocates may not attempt to make referrals by sending unsolicited e-mails, by posting on social media or sharing via messaging applications in a manner that violates the terms of use of those sites or applications, or otherwise by providing false information. When sending referral emails, Advocate must only send to a maximum of 25 email addresses at any one time, and a maximum of 200 email addresses in total over the course of the Program.

Rewards: Each instance of a Friend completing a qualifying purchase on the Site directly through an Advocate’s Referral Link by December 31, 2019 is a “Valid Referral”. For each Valid Referral, the Advocate will receive $10 off a purchase of $50 or more and free shipping within the United States for that purchase (some exclusions apply), and the Friend will receive $10 off a purchase of $50 or more and free shipping within the United States for that purchase (some exclusions apply).

Conditions: The following conditions apply to the Program and related rewards:

A Friend can only earn a Friend’s referral credit once in total. The Advocate may not earn more than 100 qualified referrals during the operation of the program. For any one individual, a maximum of 101 referral credits can be earned (1 as Friend, 100 as Advocate).
If a Friend tries to redeem multiple referrals: Bumble and bumble will only honor the first Referral Link through which a Friend completes a purchase on the Site and which is accepted and processed by Bumble and bumble. If multiple Advocates have referred the same Friend and the Friend has activated multiple Referral Links, only one Advocate will be entitled to receive their referral credit and the Friend will only receive one referral credit. The referral credit will only be applied to the Advocate of the first Referral Link through which the Friend purchased his/her first Bumble and bumble purchase. All other referrals will automatically be invalidated.
Each Advocate and Friend who qualifies for a referral credit will receive a referral code with an associated expiration date, as indicated when the referral credit is issued to the Advocate or Friend. Any referral credit not redeemed by March 31, 2020the expiration date associated with the applicable referral code after being issued to Advocate will automatically expire. Referral credit cannot be transferred, exchanged for any cash or money, or sold.
Referral credit may not be (i) combined with other offers, discounts, referrals, or gift cards; (ii) sold or transferred; or (iii) redeemed for cash.
Referral credit is not valid on non-discountable items: [sets]any bundled value offerings or “sets” consisting of multiple products.
Referral Links are for individual, personal use only and may not be used for commercial purposes, which for the avoidance of doubt includes but is not limited to affiliate lead generation and bidding on Bumble and bumble search terms in connection with the Referral Link.

Program Communications: Advocates may receive e-mails about this Program, including an e-mail each time a Friend makes a purchase using their Referral Link and when that transaction is confirmed by Bumble and bumble.

Privacy: The personal information collected, processed and used as part of the Program will be used in accordance with the Bumble and bumble Privacy Policy.

Information about Friends: By participating in the Program, Friend acknowledges that Bumble and bumble may at its sole discretion, share the Friend’s first name and the fact that they completed a purchase on the Site to inform the Advocate about the status of their referral credit. Advocates will be notified of Friend’s order via email. Bumble and bumble will not share the details of the Friend’s purchase. If you do not want the Advocate to receive this information about you, please do not complete a purchase on the Site after clicking on the Referral Link.

Indemnification: By participating in the Program, you agree that you will indemnify and hold Bumble and bumble, our parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, licensors, officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless for any claim, action, liability, loss, injury or damage resulting, directly or indirectly, from your participation in the Program, including any unlawful sending or sharing of the Referral Link, or your breach of these Terms.

Bulk Email Distribution: Each Advocate is the actual sender of the emails and must comply with applicable law. Referrals must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues and family members. By submitting any email address as part of the Program, the Advocate represents that he/she has the appropriate permission and consent. Bulk email distribution, distribution to strangers, or any other use of the services described herein in a manner that is not promoted is expressly prohibited and may be grounds for immediate termination and further legal action. Bumble and bumble has no obligation to monitor the Program or any communications; however, Bumble and bumble may choose to do so and block any email messages, remove any such content, or prohibit any use of the Program. Advocates who do not comply with the law, including anti-spam laws, are obligated to indemnify the Bumble and bumble against any liabilities, costs and expenses it incurs as a results of such spam.

General: Each Advocate and Friend must comply with Bumble and bumble Terms of Use and the terms and policies of any social media site or messaging application where a referral link is posted or shared. Bumble and bumble reserves the right to revoke any rewards or otherwise disqualify any Advocate or Friend in the event of any suspected fraud or violation of these Terms.

Modification and Termination: Bumble and bumble reserves the right to modify any of these Terms at any time, with or without notice. We also reserve the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason. Any unused Referral Links will be forfeited at that time. Your continued participation in the Program constitutes your acceptance of any changes made to these Terms. You are responsible for remaining knowledgeable about any changes we may make to these Program Terms.
