Needed Offer terms
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 1, 2024
Thank you for participating in Needed’s Offer Referral Program (the “Program)! The Program allows users (the “Advocates”) to share an offer (“Offer”) by using a personalized link that Advocates share with their friends (the “Friends”). Subject to these Offer Terms, and as described below, Advocates and Friends will be able to obtain an online coupon code (“Reward”) that they can redeem with Needed.
By participating in the Program, you , as an Advocate or Friend, as the case may be (collectively, “You”), agree to enter into these Offer Terms with Needed. Your participation in the Program is also subject to your consent to be bound by the Talkable Referral Program Terms of Service (below), which are entered into by and between You and Curebit Inc. d/b/a Talkable (“Talkable”).
Subject to these Offer Terms and any other terms described in the offer page, the personalized links that Advocates share with their Friends will allow their Friends to obtain Rewards that they can redeem when making their first purchase order with Needed (a “Qualifying Purchase”). A Qualifying Purchase may be subject to a minimum spend. When a Friend uses an active personalized link to make his or her Qualifying Purchase with Needed, the Advocate who referred that Friend will earn their own Reward that the Advocate can use for future purchases with Needed. To qualify for a Reward, the Friend must be a new customer to Needed, but there is no requirement that the Advocate be a new customer. Rewards ordinarily are distributed to Advocates via email 30 days after the completion of a Qualifying Purchase and after approval by Needed, in its sole discretion. Advocates may not earn more than 30 Rewards in 30 days or more than 1000 Rewards in total. Advocates may earn only one (1) Reward per Friend, regardless of the number of purchases that his or her Friends make. Rewards cannot be combined with other discount codes in a single order. To receive multiple Rewards, Advocates must introduce multiple Friends who make a Qualifying Purchase using the Advocate’s active personalized referral link. An Advocate cannot refer him or herself to earn a Reward. When sharing Rewards, Advocates must tell their Friends that Advocates will receive a reward from Needed if they make their Qualifying Purchase using your personalized link. Needed, in its sole discretion, may impose limits on how many Offers may be shared by an Advocate, as well as how frequently those Offers can be made, and Rewards may not be given if those limits are exceeded.
Needed reserves the right to refuse to issue or redeem a Reward to Advocates or Friends at any time. Further, Needed reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) vary any and all elements of an Offer at any time without notice to You and (ii) to prevent any individual from participating in this or future promotions. An Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases and is not redeemable for cash. You understand that although You initially participated in an Offer as a Friend, You will be considered an Advocate if You share a personalized link with your own Friends.
You understand and agree that these Offer Terms are solely between You and Needed. You further understand that Talkable solely provides services that facilitate your ability to participate in the Program and share our offers with your Friends (as that term is defined below). Talkable is not involved in any decision pertaining to any particular Offer, including but not limited to the terms of such Offer, and who may or may not redeem Rewards. If You wish to be removed from the Program, please contact [email protected]. AS SUCH, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT TALKABLE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR INABILITY TO OBTAIN OR REDEEM ANY REWARDS.
