Gnosis Pay reserves the right to disqualify any customers or prospective customers, including any Referred User at any time from participation in the Referral Program at its sole discretion.
4. How the Referral Program Works
4.1. Share your Referral Link. A Referral Link will be provided via Webapp to existing Active Account holders. Share this Referral Link with your intended referee. You will be considered a “Referrer” for the purposes of this program only once your intended referee has completed the Referee Eligibility Activities.
4.2. Referee Onboarding. After you share your Referral link, your intended referee will be prompted to create an account (using the link), complete the card ordering process on the Gnosis Pay WebApp and will be subject to account verification procedures (including know-your-customer (KYC) processes) through the Gnosis Pay WebApp and its KYC service providers.
4.3. Referee Eligibility Activities. Referees will have to complete the Referee Eligibility Activities by the deadline, as set out in the FAQs. Gnosis Pay reserves the right to amend the Referee Eligibility Activities at any time.
4.4. Credit of Bonuses. Participants will only qualify for the Referral Bonus when the Referee Eligibility Activities have been completed by your Referred User. The Referral Bonus may be in the form of stablecoins or NFTs, as set out in the FAQs. The Referral Bonus will always be distributed to the relevant Referrer and Referred User’s Gnosis Pay Safe within 45 days of the end of the month in which the Referred User completed their Referee Eligibility Activities. If it is in EURe or GBPe, it will always be credited in the fiat equivalent value of EURe or GBPe (as set out in the FAQs), on a 1:1 basis. If the applicable Gnosis Pay WebApp accounts are closed (whether permanently or temporarily) for any reason, Gnosis Pay will not credit the Referral Bonuses. Gnosis Pay will not be liable for the payment of the Referral Bonus to any Gnosis Pay WebApp accounts that were reopened after the initial attempt to credit the same. Gnosis Pay reserves the right to change the Referral Bonus amounts at its sole discretion at any time without any obligation on the part of Gnosis Pay to give notice to you.
Gnosis Pay, at its sole discretion, may refrain from paying any Referral Bonus where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that any Participants concerned:
a) are currently in possession of or has previously possessed another Gnosis Pay WebApp account (either through a direct relationship or through a third-party) at the time of the Referral;
b) have performed or attempted to perform any Prohibited Activity, as defined in Section 6 of these Terms; or
c) are reasonably suspected to have been involved with illegal or abusive behaviour and/or practices, and/or fraudulent activities.
4.5. Cap on Referrals. Each Referrer will only be eligible for Bonuses up to a maximum of 100 per person.
4.6. Taxes.
Referral bonuses may be taxable, depending on the country, state, and/ or local tax laws applicable to the Participant. Participants are solely responsible for reporting such items in their tax returns and paying any associated tax(es) and liabilities.
4.7. Conduct.
Participants in the Referral Program must comply with all applicable national, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Any distribution of your Referral Link that could constitute unsolicited commercial, email or “spam” under any applicable law, rule, regulation or of these Terms is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of your Gnosis Pay WebApp account, an exclusion from the Referral Program and the retraction of any bonuses to you and your Referred Users. Gnosis Pay reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to prohibit any customer from participating in any aspect of the Referral Program if Gnosis Pay deems or suspects that such customer has engaged in or has attempted to engage in any of the following:
