Innsides Referral Program

The Innsides Referral Program allows registered users (“users”) to earn discounts on future purchases by referring friends to Innsides. To participate, users must agree to these terms, which are part of the Innsides Terms of Service.

1. How to Earn Refunds
Innsides users can earn refunds towards future purchases if a referred friend clicks on their referral link to create a valid Innsides account that complies with our Terms of Service.

2. Availability of and Qualifying Refunds
Innsides provides users with a newsletter that contains links and internet destinations of affiliated shops and partners where users can purchase items. Only purchases at these stores featured in the newsletter are eligible for refunds. Should a purchase be made available directly on Innsides.com, then this purchase is also available for discounts.

3. Redeeming Refunds
Once a purchase is made on affiliated stores or on innsides.com directly, the user needs to forward the purchase confirmation via email to [email protected]. After 70 days, innsides.com will credit the bank account, credit card or Paypal account of the user with the refund, unless the order was cancelled before. In order for innsides.com to provide the refund, the user must communicate bank account, credit card details or Paypal account references to innsides.com.

4. Sharing Referral Links
Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes, and only shared with personal connections that will appreciate receiving these invitations. Referral links should not be published or distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends.

5. Multiple Referrals
A referred friend may only use one referral link. If a referred friend receives referral links from multiple Innsides users, only the corresponding Innsides user of the referral link used by the referred friend will receive refunds.

6. Severability
If any provision in these terms are held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision (or the part of it that is making it invalid, void or unenforceable) will be struck and not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

7. Termination and Change
Innsides may suspend or terminate the Referral Program or a user’s ability to participate in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. Requirements and incentives may also change at any time. Refunds or other incentives such as gift cards earned as a result of fraudulent activities are null and void. We reserve the right to suspend accounts or remove referrals if we notice any activity that we believe is abusive or fraudulent. We reserve the right to review and investigate all referral activities and to suspend accounts or cancel or modify referrals as we deem fair and appropriate. Non-fraudulent accrued refunds, credits or gift cards earned are not affected by suspension or termination of the Referral Program or a user’s participation.

Innsides can update these terms at any time without prior notice. If we modify these terms, we will post the modification on the innsides.com website, applications, or services, which are effective upon posting. Continued participation in the Referral Program after any modification shall constitute consent to such modification. If the modified terms are not acceptable, the only recourse is to stop sending referrals or participating in the Referrals Program.
