Refer + Earn Terms & Conditions

Canal Referral Program Terms and Conditions


Canal ("we," "us" the "Company") offers you the opportunity to earn rewards by referring friends to try Canal. Your participation in the Canal Referral Program ("Referral Program" or "Program") can earn you credits to use in conjunction with Canal Services, and may also get you additional rewards. We reserve the right to terminate the Program at any time for any reason. The Program is administered by Canal, which may, outsource certain elements of administration to third parties (collectively "Administrator").


These terms ("Terms") apply to a user's participation in the Program. By participating in the Program, users agree to use the Program as outlined herein, and consistent with any other terms we may apply to the Program. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, then you cannot register and participate in the Program. Users also cannot where in so doing, they would violate any applicable law or regulations.


Eligibility

This Program is void where such referral programs are prohibited. Users who refer others to the program are "Referrers"; those who are referred are "Referred Customers." Referrers may be eligible to receive "Credits" for every qualified referral. Referrers must speak and read English, be legally able to participate in the Program, and must be 1) at least the age of majority where they reside, 2) have an existing, valid Canal user account, and 3) are otherwise in good standing. Canal reserves the right to determine if a Referrer's Canal user account is valid based on criteria that includes, but is not limited to, Canal account activity and ownership, incorporation status, and business affiliation of the user's registered Canal email address domain. Participation in the Program represents an ongoing relationship with you, for privacy purposes. So long as you remain in the Program, and you have unused Credits, you will be considered an active member of the Program and of the Canal Community. Please see Canal’s privacy policy for further details on your privacy rights.


Companies and employees of Canal Entities or their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies, including immediate family and household members, are not eligible.


How It Works

To participate, once you have created your Canal account, visit www.Canal.com/refer-and-earn and follow the on-screen instructions to start referring. You will be provided a link which you can share with your friends and partners as much as you want. If a user uses your Company Link and signs up and makes 10 sales via Canal in 90 days, each of you will receive a credit ("Credit") worth $100.00 US, to use for designated products and services on the Canal Rewards Store. There is a limit of 10 unique lifetime referral Credits that a Referrer may receive, and Credits may only be used for designated Canal products and services and may never be redeemed for cash.


Special Promotions

From time to time, Referrers may be offered special promotions ("Special Promotion"), and special links ("Personal Bonus Link") to use. These Special Promotions may be offered to some, but not all Users, depending upon your Credit status, your geographic location, or for other reasons. Such Special Promotions are for a limited time and will give Referrers (and in some cases, Referred Customers) additional perks and rewards. Additional terms, including expiration dates for any Special Promotion will be provided with the Special Promotion. During Special Promotions, Referrers may use either their Company Link, or their Personal Bonus Link, and will receive Credit based upon the specific link used. Sorry, during any Special Promotion, the Referrer will only receive the identified credit outlined Special Promotion only if the Referred User completes the task prior to the end date of the Special Promotion period.


Qualified Referrals

Referrers will be provided with a unique referral link ("Company Link") that allows Referrers to receive Credit. Each Referrer will be able to check his/her status on referrals by logging in to his/her/their account and checking the Referral Status. Referrers will also be provided with a unique and Canal "Referral Status" page to check page or account to check the status of his/her Qualified Referrals and to manage his/her account. Company Links will be issued one per company, and can be used by any user with Canal access. Referrers must respect the spirit of the Program by not engaging in spamming or other unfair or otherwise problematic practices, including creating fake accounts or harassing potential referral sources.


Conditions for Receiving Credit

Credit will be awarded for Qualified Referrals who meet the following conditions:


  • The Referred Customer must use the Company Link from a Referrer in good standing with Canal.
  • If a Referred Customer receives more than one Company Link, Canal will provide the Credit to the person whose Company Link is used to complete the Canal registration process regardless of when the Company Links were sent. If a Referred Customer registers for Canal using any other method, the registration will not count as a Qualified Referral and Referrer will not earn Credit;
  • The Referred Customer must not be previously registered with Canal under any email address or alias;
  • The Referred Customer must be eligible to create a Canal account and otherwise be qualified.
