Financial Designs Referral Program Terms and Conditions

Financial Designs Inc. (“FDI” or “We”) offers current clients (“Referrer” or “You”) the opportunity to participate in its referral program (the “Program”). We reserve the right to amend or terminate the Program at any time, for any reason. The Program is administered by FDI.

Referrers are bound by these Terms and Conditions by participating in the Program. By participating in the Program, Referrers agree to use the Program in the manner specified in these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety, you are not authorized to register as a Referrer or to participate in the Program in any other manner. Referrers may not participate in the Program where doing so would be prohibited by any applicable law or regulations.

We reserve the right to modify or amend at any time these Terms and Conditions and/or the methods through which rewards are earned. We reserve the right to disqualify any Referrers from participation in the Program at any time at our sole discretion, including without limitation if he/she does not comply with any of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise fails to comply with any applicable laws (including, without limitation, through any failure to include any disclosures as required by the FTC or otherwise required by FDI).

Children – No part of the program is directed to persons under the age of 18. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, YOU MAY NOT USE, ACCESS OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

I. How the Program Works

A. Program Participation, Generally

1. To participate in the Program, Referrers should visit fdnational.com/Referral and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends or colleagues to the program by entering their contact information in the relevant fields.

2. Individuals who receive a referral via a Referrer are “Friends” (or, singly, a “Friend”). An “Eligible” Referrer who is fully compliant with these Terms and Conditions may receive “Reward(s)” for every “Qualified Referral” (all terms in quotes to be understood as defined below).

3. By participating in the Program, a Referrer represents that he or she has her Friends’ prior consent to provide their contact information.

B. Eligible Referrer

1. To be “Eligible,” a Referrer must:

2. Be a legal resident of the United States of America; and

3. Be a current client of Financial Designs; and

4. Be at least 18 years old.

C. Making a Referral

1. A Referrer must register at fdnational.com/Referral to make a referral. No previous purchase is required (purchasers and non-purchasers alike are eligible). Once a Referrer refers a Friend, he/she will be provided with a confirmation email, and will be contacted if a Qualified Referral is made by the referred Friend within 6 months.

2. Referrers must respect the spirit of the Program by only referring real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions. Referrers cannot refer themselves. For example, a Referrer may not participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.

D. Qualified Referrals

1. A “Qualified Referral” means that all the following conditions are met:

2. The Friend owns or is a part of a company of 5 or more employees.

3. The Friend had not previously contacted or been in contact with Financial Designs Inc;

4. The Friend is a) a legal resident of the United States of America and b) at least 18 years old; and

5. Upon meeting with a Financial Designs Benefits Agent, the Friend requests FDI to build a quote for them.

E. Earning Rewards

1. Referrer shall receive one (1) reward (each, a “Reward”) in the form and value determined by FDI for each verified Qualified Referral generated by Referrer. A maximum of ten (10) Rewards may be earned by Referrer per calendar year for Qualified Referrals. Any additional or subsequent referrals made by a Referrer will not be considered Qualified Referrals and thus not be entitled to the Reward, unless otherwise allowed by FDI.

2. Rewards will be redeemed in the form of a VISA* gift card. In the amounts as follows: 1 Referral = 1 $50 gift card, 2 referrals= 1 $150 gift card with each proceeding award adding one additional $50 gift card per referral with a maximum of 10 referrals. Restrictions may apply. For example, the Reward may be subject to the issuer’s terms and conditions.

F. Verified Qualified Referrals

1. Rewards are subject to verification. FDI may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. FDI may also refuse to verify and process any transaction FDI deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on FDI, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. All of FDI’s decisions are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral, or Reward is verified.

G. Transfer and Value of Credit and Rewards

1. Rewards have no monetary value and may not be redeemed for cash. Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the referral program or any portion thereof for any reason, any unredeemed Rewards that have not yet been delivered to Referrer are forfeited.

II. Privacy.

1. Referrers may participate in the Program made available by FDI in order to refer their Friends to FDI as potential new FDI customers. To do this, Referrers must necessarily submit personal information about themselves and their Friends, such as name and e-mail address information, so that FDI can send communications to the Friends on the Referrers’ behalf. The personal information will be collected, processed and used in accordance with FDI’s Privacy Statement, which can be found at https://fdnational.com/privacy-policy/ Referrers understand that, in addition to the initial communications to Friends, FDI may also use the personal information to send to Friends additional follow-up communications on behalf of the Referrers in order to encourage or remind the Friends to complete a purchase. The personal information may also be used by FDI to contact Referrers with regards to their participation in the Program and to send to Referrers additional communications from FDI.
