Refer-A-Friend Terms & Conditions of Use (the "Terms and Conditions")
Knewton, Inc. may, from time to time, offer active or former customers the opportunity to earn rewards by referring friends to try Knewton products ("Refer-A-Friend Program"). Participation in the Refer-A-Friend Program may require users to submit personal information about themselves and their friends, such as name and e-mail address. By participating in the Refer-A-Friend Program, users agree to receive communications from Knewton, Inc. and/or from partners that operate and maintain the Refer-A-Friend Program, with regards to participation in the Refer-A-Friend Program.
As a participant in the Referral Program, you agree to use the TellAPal Service to promote Knewton, Inc. in the manner specified by the TellAPal Terms and Conditions ("TellAPal Terms"), thereby acting as the referrer ("Referrer"). You hereby acknowledge having received and reviewed the TellAPal Terms. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions contained within these Terms and Conditions in their entirety, as well as to the TellAPal Terms, you are not authorized to register as a Referrer or to participate in the Referral Program in any manner.
A Qualified Referral, defined herein as an individual referred to Knewton (a "Referred Customer") who:
(2) Is successfully billed by Knewton, Inc. for at least $100;
(3) Attends or watches a class, starts an assignment, or otherwise begins use of the Knewton course after enrolling as a paid student for GMAT, LSAT, and SAT products;
(4) Does not receive a refund.
Subject to these Terms and Conditions, Referrer shall receive a fifty dollars ($50) rewards credit for each Qualified Referral that is the first purchase made at the www.knewton.com site (the "Site") by a Referred Customer who has not previously purchased from the Site and who has not arrived at the Site via another person's Refer-a-Friend Program link ("Personal Link"). Only one $50 rewards credit will be issued by Knewton for each Referred Customer that is a Qualified Referral. Any dispute as to the priority or validity of a Qualified Referral shall be determined in Knewton’s sole discretion. Any additional or subsequent purchases made by a Referred Customer at the Site will not be Qualified Referrals and person referring such Referred Customer shall not be entitled to any additional rewards. The total amount billed by Knewton for a referred order must be greater than $100 for Referrer to be entitled to receive a $50 rewards credit.
In order to redeem any rewards credit, Referrer must be an "active" or former student, which requires all of the following actions:
(2) Being successfully billed by Knewton, Inc. with a value of at least $100, or receiving a scholarship for a class worth at least $100;
(3) starting a class after enrolling as a paid student for GMAT, LSAT, and SAT products, which is defined as the time you access any materials other than Session 1;
(4) Not receiving a refund.
The individual who was issued a Personal Link by Knewton, Inc. will be considered to be the "Referring Customer" for all Qualified Referrals made using that Personal Link, regardless of whether a Referred Customer obtained the Personal Link directly from the Referring Customer or from another source.
Referrer will earn a $50 rewards credit for each Qualified Referral, up to the annual maximum number of Qualified Referrals allowed. The maximum number of Qualified Referrals is defined as the initial amount paid for the purchase of a Knewton course, by the Referrer, divided by 100 and rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, a Referrer who pays $690 for a course is permitted up to 14 (fourteen) Qualified Referrals annually. Knewton may, at any time and at its discretion, raise or lower the annual maximum number of Qualified Referrals allowed for all Referrers or an individual Referrer.
Rewards credits will be payable in $50 increments once Knewton has verified that a referral is a Qualified Referral. Rewards credit may be redeemed in various forms. Check your Knewton, Inc. Refer-A-Friend account for details.
Unless otherwise specifically stated by Knewton, Inc., a Referred Customer may use any discounts or promotions associated with the Personal Link only for the Referred Customer's initial purchase transaction.
If a Referring Customer provides a Personal Link to another person by email, the email must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends and family members. Bulk email distribution, distribution to strangers, or any other promotion of a Personal Link in a manner that would constitute or appear to constitute unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of the Referring Customer's account and deactivation of the Personal Link. You agree to indemnify and hold Knewton and TellAPal harmless for any damages caused by any emails generated by you in violation of this paragraph.
All taxes (including without limitation Federal, state and local taxes) in connection with the Rewards credit, and the reporting consequence thereof, are the sole responsibility of the Referrer. Rewards recipient may be sent a tax form 1099 in the event the average retail value requires Knewton, Inc. to submit such form. In order to claim the Rewards credit, the Referrer may be required to sign an affidavit or a declaration of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, liability release, address verification and other registrations and participation information requested by Knewton, Inc. (unless prohibited by law), at the discretion of Knewton, Inc.
By participating in this Refer-A-Friend Program and unless prohibited by law, the Referrer hereby consents to use of his/her respective name, voice, photograph and/or likeness for advertising or publicity purposes for this and similar promotions without compensation and Rewards recipients may be required to provide a signed release acknowledging such consent, unless restricted by law. Moreover, by participating in this Refer-A-Friend Program, unless prohibited by law, the Referrer agrees to grant to Knewton, Inc., and its licensees, affiliates, and assigns, the right to print, publish, broadcast, and use, worldwide in any media now known or hereafter developed, including without limitation the World Wide Web, at any time or times, the Referrer's name, likeness (actual or simulated), voice (actual or simulated), and biographical information as news or information and for advertising and promotional purposes without additional consideration; and further without such additional compensation, appear for, or provide biographical information for use in, any presentation or other activity which may include filming/audio/video/electronic or other recordings and/or interviews, as may be determined from time to time by Knewton, Inc. in its sole discretion.

Upon receipt by TellAPal of payment from Knewton, Inc., payment of Commissions to Referrers according to the TellAPal Terms and these Terms and Conditions is the sole and exclusive responsibility of TellAPal. Further, Knewton, Inc. shall at no point have record of Commissions owed to any individual Referrer.

IN NO EVENT SHALL KNEWTON, INC. BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF KNEWTON, INC.
