Referrals Terms

Last amended Wednesday 14th August 2024

Treeapp is offering its existing customers the opportunity to earn a referral reward in the form of additional “treecounts” credited to their personal account (the “Reward”), by referring someone (the “Invitee”) to sign up for a Treeapp Personal account (the “Promotion”). All the Invitee will need to do is complete the steps set out in these terms and conditions (the “Terms”). Anyone who has received an invitation to the Promotion directly from us on a tile in the community screen of the Treeapp app (an “In-app Referral Invite”) is eligible to refer someone. 

The Promotion will be available for a specific time frame, determined in the In-app Referral Invite. We call this the “Promotion Period”. Any Reward will only be paid if all the criteria in these Terms are met by both the selected Treeapp customer and their Invitee during the Promotion Period. Sometimes an Invitee may have longer than the Promotion Period to complete the relevant steps - if this applies, the specific date will be confirmed in the In-app Referral Invite.

The terms and conditions that apply to the Promotion are made up of these Terms and the information included in the In-App Referral Invite (the “Promotion Terms”).

You must comply with these Promotion Terms and the terms that apply to your Treeapp Personal account at all times when participating in the Promotion.

What do you need to do to earn a Reward?

Once you receive an In-app Referral Invite, the following steps must be completed:

• Invite someone to join Treeapp, by tapping on the “Refer a friend” button displayed in the referral tile in the community screen of your app
• Once you do this, a draft message containing your unique referral link will appear. You can customise the message and send it to your Invitee/s. You agree you will not (attempt to) mislead anyone in connection with this Promotion.
• When sending referral messages, you agree you alone are the sender of the message, will only send it to people you know, have permission to send it to, will not “spam” anyone with referrals, and will remain compliant with all applicable laws.
• Each Invitee must click on your unique link for you to be eligible for the Promotion.

We’ll confirm the maximum number of people you can refer as part of the Promotion in the In-app Referral Invite. If you refer more people than this, you will not be paid any Rewards for these additional Invitees even if they complete the relevant steps successfully.

What does your Invitee need to do for you to earn the Reward?

For you to be eligible for your Reward, your Invitee must satisfy the below steps before the date set out in the In-app Referral Invite:

• Successfully open a Treeapp Personal account, for the first time, using your unique referral link. The account the Invitee opens must also be a Treeapp Personal account specifically - opening another Treeapp account like a Treeapp Business will not earn you a Reward. This means verifying your phone number, but also creating your profile with at least your name and email address.

What other legal information should I know?

1. To be eligible for a Reward, you must have an active Treeapp Personal account (meaning that your account is not restricted, suspended, or closed) throughout the Promotion and at the time we are due to award your account with any Reward/s.

2. We reserve the right to reverse any Reward/s credited to your Treeapp Personal account if we become aware that you have breached these Promotion Terms. We will consider the reversal of any Reward to have been done with your consent.

3. If we believe that you have engaged in any fraud or material abuse of the Promotion we may also in our sole discretion take any actions we see fit in the circumstances. For example, it would be a material abuse of the Promotion to orchestrate a campaign to profiteer from the Promotion in a way that does not result in genuine and unique new sign-ups to Treeapp, and so in addition to reversing any Reward/s we may also close your Treeapp Personal account.

4. We may change, suspend or end the Promotion earlier than the end of the Promotion Period if, in our reasonable opinion, the Promotion is being abused or may negatively affect Treeapp’s goodwill or reputation, or due to unforeseen circumstances which may make it impossible for us to continue running the Promotion. We may suspend or end the Promotion on an individual or promotion-wide basis.

5. The terms contained in this specific document are published in English. If they are translated into another language, unless otherwise specified in the table below, the translation is for reference only and the English language version applies and can be used in legal proceedings.

6. Any personal data processed or controlled during the Promotion will be dealt with in line with the Treeapp Customer Privacy Notice that applies to your Treeapp Personal account. Please see the following links:
