Full terms and conditions valid from Friday, 22 March 2019, v.1.2 (English (UK))

Mention Me Full Terms and Conditions

1. These Terms and Conditions

1.1 Mention Me (“we” or “Mention Me”) offers customer or clients (“you” or “Users”) of merchants (“the Merchant”) the opportunity to refer friends to try the Merchant’s goods and services (“Merchant’s Services”) (“Mention Me Referral Program” or “Program”).

1.2 These terms apply to individuals who are accessing or using the Program both as a referrer and a friend referred to the Merchant’s Services and the use of ‘User’ or ‘you’ shall be a reference to either or both as the context permits.

1.3 By participating in the Program, Users agree to use the Program in the manner specified in, and are bound by, these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety you are not authorised to register as a Referrer (defined below) or participate in the Program in any manner. Users may not participate in the Program where doing so would be prohibited by any applicable law or regulations.

1.4 We reserve the right to modify or amend at any time these Terms and Conditions. Any amendments or new terms and conditions will be available on our website and the terms and conditions on the website at the time you enter into an agreement with us or use the Program will be the ones that apply. You may terminate this Agreement if you do not wish to be bound by any such amendments but by continuing to use our website or the Program you will be deemed to have accepted the new terms.

2. The Program

2.1 To participate, a User may visit http://www.mention-me.com or click on a link on a Merchant’s website that directs them to a referral offer. The User may then follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues (“User Friends”) to the Merchant’s Services (“Referral”).

2.2 Users will be notified as to the method by which they may make a Referral and through which User Friends referred to the Merchant’s Services can access relevant discounts or rewards. Such methods may include:

2.2.1 Using the User’s name on the Merchant’s website;

2.2.2 sending a Tweet containing a unique referral link (“Personal Link”);

2.2.3 sharing a Personal Link in a Facebook message;

2.2.4 posting the Personal Link on Facebook;

2.2.5 sharing a Personal Link via email.

2.3 The method by which Users may refer User Friends shall be at the absolute discretion of Mention Me.

3. Referrals and Rewards

3.1 A User must register to make a referral.

3.2 Users will receive a reward for each User Friend that accesses the Merchant’s Services as a result of a Referral (“Reward”) subject always to these terms and conditions.

3.3 Users will be provided with a unique and personal Mention Me “Sharing Dashboard” page or account to view their Referrals and any Rewards to which they are entitled.

3.4 For a User to qualify for a Reward the referred User Friend must:

3.4.1 not be a current customer and has never been a customer of the Merchant under any email address or alias;

3.4.2 have purchased goods or services from the Merchant having accessed the Program through the relevant Referral method (be it by way of Personal Link or by the User Friend entering the name of the User when directed to on the Merchant’s website);

3.4.3 comply with any other criteria notified to the User and User Friend by Mention Me or the Merchant (which may include a minimum age requirement).

3.5 A User will not be entitled to more than one Reward in respect of each individual User Friend referred to the Program and that meets the relevant requirements as set out in clause [3.4] above.

3.6 Subsequent purchases of the Merchant’s goods and services made by a referred User Friend in addition to and outside the original purchase made through the Program will not entitle the User to any further Reward.

3.7 The particular Reward to which a User is entitled will be that Reward advertised on the Merchant’s website at the time the User registers for the Program in respect of that Merchant. Please note that Rewards in respect of the same Merchant may change from time to time and different Users may be entitled to different Rewards.

3.8 Rewards may be a discount on a future purchase, a voucher, a cash rebate or such other benefit as the Merchant may determine. The Merchant shall be responsible for ensuring that the Reward is honoured and Mention Me shall have no liability to a User in respect of redeeming or obtaining the benefit of a Reward (see clause 4.4 below).

3.9 Every Reward advertised on the Mention Me website or through a Merchant’s website will be subject to these Terms. In addition, the Reward will be subject to any specific or bespoke terms notified to you at the time you register for the Program.

3.10 A limit may be placed on the total number of Rewards or number of Rewards over a given time period to which a User is entitled in respect of a Program. The User will be notified of such limits or restrictions at the time they register for the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, any User Friends referred to the Program who purchase the Merchant’s goods and services and otherwise meet the relevant requirements may in such circumstances not result in a User receiving a Reward.

3.11 A referred User Friend who meets the relevant requirements and results in the User being entitled to a Reward may themselves be entitled to a reward (“Friend Reward”). The Friend Reward will be such reward advertised on the Merchant’s website at the time the User registers for the Program in respect of that Merchant. A User Friend will not receive more than one Friend Reward in respect of the same Merchant.

3.12 If the User Friend’s purchase of the Merchant’s goods and services is subsequently cancelled, this will result in the Friend Reward and the Reward being also cancelled.

3.13 User Friends may be subject to verification and Mention Me may delay issuing a Reward (or a Friend Reward) for the purposes of investigation. Mention Me may also refuse to verify and process any transaction Mention Me deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on Mention Me, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents.

3.14 Any decision by Mention Me in respect of whether or not a referred User Friend has been successfully verified and a User is entitled to a Reward shall be final and binding.

3.15 Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the Program or any portion thereof for any reason, or upon cancellation of a User’s Mention Me account for any reason, any unredeemed Rewards accumulated by the User are forfeited.

4. Merchants

4.2 We are not responsible in any way whatsoever for providing you with the Merchant’s Services, whether in accordance with a Reward, Friend Reward or otherwise.

If you have any queries about the Merchant Terms you should direct them to the Merchant rather than us.

4.4 Unless stated otherwise in these Terms, once we have provided you with the means of redeeming the Reward, we have no further obligation to you in relation to the Reward and all responsibility lies with the Merchant.

6. Personal Links

6.1 If a User provides a Personal Link to a User Friend by email, the email must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues and family members. By submitting the email addresses, the Referrer represents that he/she has their prior consent.

6.2 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” in Mention Me’s sole discretion is expressly prohibited and may be grounds for immediate termination of the Referrer’s account and deactivation of the Personal Link.

6.3 We have a no tolerance spam policy.
Mention Me has no obligation to monitor the content provided by Users; however, Mention Me may choose to do so and block any email messages, remove any such content, or prohibit any use of the Program.

6.4 Each User is the actual sender of the emails and must comply with applicable law. A User who does not comply with the law, including anti-spam laws, shall indemnify Mention Me against any liabilities, costs and expenses it incurs as a result of such spam.

7. Termination and suspension

7.1 We may suspend your account at any time should you be in breach of these terms and conditions.

7.5 Subject to this clause 6, any termination of this agreement (howsoever occasioned) shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor shall it affect coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination.
