Referral Program*

Terms and Conditions of The iCash Referral Program

Under The iCash Referral Program (the “Referral Program”), customers of Finabanx Ltd. operating as iCash (“iCash”), who qualify for the Referral Program, will be referred to as "Ambassadors", are invited to earn Ambassador Bonuses (as defined below) by inviting first-time customers ("Referrals") to participate in the Program, as well as earn credit in the form of Cashback Bonuses (as defined below). The Ambassador and the Referral, by participating in the Referral Program, are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions. Capitalized iCash terms used in the Terms and Conditions which are not defined shall have the same meaning as defined in iCash’s Terms of Service.

iCash Ambassador

Any active customer who has fully repaid their iCash loan automatically becomes an Ambassador eligible to participate in the Referral Program. A loan is considered fully repaid once iCash receives confirmation from each party’s respective financial institutions that all repayment(s) has been successful.

Referral Link

To refer a Referral to the Referral Program, the Ambassador shares the Referral Program Link (the “Referral Link”) found in the Ambassador’s iCash Member Account with a first-time customer. To share the Referral Link, the Ambassador must have, and the Ambassador affirms to iCash that the Ambassador in fact has, the Referral’s valid contact information and consent to use that contact information for the purpose of sharing the Referral Link. iCash is not responsible for any privacy infringements in the event that the Ambassador uses the Referral’s contact information or shares a Referral Link without the Referral’s consent.

The Ambassador understands and agrees that by sharing the Referral Link with the Referral, the Ambassador is sharing their own personal information with the Referral (including the fact that the Ambassador is an iCash customer).

Referral

To participate in the Referral Program, the Referral must use the Referral Link sent by the Ambassador to apply and qualify for an eligible iCash product, enter into an agreement with iCash for the iCash product (the “Loan”), and fully repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Referral must be a resident of a province in which an iCash Product is offered and be aged 18 or older, if they are a resident of Alberta, Ontario, or Prince Edward Island, or be aged 19 or older, if they are a resident of Nova Scotia. The Referral must also be a first-time client that has never used the iCash product before.

Without limitations to any other agreement(s) between the Referral and iCash, the Referral understands and agrees, that by participating in the Referral Program, iCash collects, uses and discloses certain personal information about the Referral for the purposes of administering the Referral Program For example, iCash collects and uses information about the Referral’s use of the Referral Link. Furthermore, while iCash does not disclose personally identifying information about the Referral to the Ambassador, the Ambassador may be able to infer certain information, such as whether the Referral is participating in the Referral Program or has fully repaid a Loan.

Bonuses

Once the Referral fully repays the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan, and iCash has confirmed as such, the Ambassador shall earn a referral bonus (“Ambassador Bonus”) and the Referral shall earn a cashback bonus (“Cashback Bonus”). If the Referral fails to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan (such as by making late payments), the Ambassador’s and the Referral’s eligibility to receive the Ambassador Bonus or the Cashback Bonus shall immediately be deemed null and void. The amount of the Ambassador Bonus and of the Cashback Bonus is subject to change periodically, may vary dependent upon city and province and is subject to the sole discretion of iCash. iCash reserves the rights to modify the value of Bonuses without any prior notice. The status of the Ambassador Bonus and the Cashback Bonus shall appear as “Pending” in the Ambassador’s and the Referral’s iCash Member Accounts until the Loan is fully repaid by the Referral in accordance with the terms of the Loan. Once the Loan is fully repaid, the status of the Ambassador Bonus and Cashback Bonus shall appear as “Available”.

If the Referral receives multiple Referral Links from multiple Ambassadors, only the latest Referral Link used by the Referral shall be eligible for the Ambassador Bonus.

The Ambassador and the Referral each understand and agree that there could be a delay between the Referral's Loan being fully repaid and the Ambassador Bonus and the Cashback Bonus appearing as “Available”, due to factors such as: the time required for the processing of payments, such as during non-business days, bank holidays, technical or system delays.

Use the Bonus

The Ambassador and the Referral may redeem the available Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus in accordance with iCash’s Cashback Redemption Policy, which may be updated periodically at the sole discretion of iCash. There may be a requirement that the Ambassador or the Referral have to obtain a minimum amount of available Ambassador Bonuses or the Cashback Bonuses to have them redeemed.

If the Ambassador or the Referral are in violation of any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Ambassador may not be able to participate in the Referral Program or any other iCash reward program (current or future), which may also result in the forfeiture or retraction of any iCash credits, money, or other bonuses earned through the Referral Program and even the deactivation of the Ambassador’s or the Referral’s iCash account.

The available Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus cannot be withdrawn or transferred to any other financial institution, and the Ambassador and the Referral must follow the iCash Cashback Redemption Policy. When the Ambassador’s or the Referral’s Account becomes dormant, inactive, closed or written-off, iCash reserves the right to withdraw or annul any available Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus. The Ambassador and the Referral are responsible for checking the available balances and redeeming such as per the iCash Cashback Redemption Policy.

The value of the Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus may be considered taxable income. The Ambassador and the Referral are each responsible for any federal or provincial taxes accrued from the Referral Program. The Ambassador and Referral should consult a professional if any questions regarding the taxation of the Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus rise.

The Ambassadors are welcome to share their Referral Link and earn Ambassador Bonuses, but Referral Links must be used only for personal, non-commercial use.

By participating in the Referral Program, the Ambassador and the Referral consent to receive emails at the email address provided for the purpose of participating in the Referral Program. If the Ambassador or the Referral opt out of receiving emails from iCash, said party may not receive notifications related to their Referral Program Bonuses. If any of the parties involved request the cessation of all e-mail communications from iCash, irrespective of the reason, iCash is not responsible for any loss or damages incurred, in relation to the Referral Program or otherwise, as a result. Similarly, if any party’s email service provider's system classifies the Referral Program related communications as 'spam' or 'junk', iCash is not responsible for any loss or damages incurred, in relation to the Referral Program or otherwise.

Severability

In the event any provision or part of the Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that particular provision or part found as such, and not the entirety of the Terms and Conditions, shall be considered inoperative.

Termination and Change

iCash may suspend or terminate the Referral Program or the Ambassador’s or Referral’s ability to participate in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. iCash reserves the right to suspend accounts or remove Ambassador Bonuses if iCash notices any activity that is deemed fraudulent or harmful. iCash reserves the right to review and investigate all Referral Activities, and to suspend accounts or modify Referrals as deemed fair and just.

Update to the Terms

iCash reserves the right to update the Terms at any time without prior notice. If the Terms are modified, the modification will be published on iCash’s website, and is effective upon publication. Continued participation in the Referral Program after its modification shall constitute consent to such modification.

By participating in this Program, the Ambassadors and the Referrals agree to be bound by these Terms and consent to iCash’s: (and its agents and/or representatives) collection, usage and the sharing of the personal information the Ambassadors and the Referrals submitted in order to participate in this Program and in accordance with iCash’s Privacy Policy.

Additional provisions

The Referral Program is not available to the residents of Manitoba, New Brunswick and British Columbia.

For the Ambassadors and the Referrals resident of Alberta or Nova Scotia: if the Referral repays the Loan early and is eligible for a Rebate, both the Ambassador and the Referral cease to be eligible for this Referral Program or any associated Ambassador Bonuses and Cashback Bonuses. Neither the Ambassador or the Referral can receive the Rebate simultaneously with the Ambassador Bonus or the Cashback Bonus. It is not possible to receive the Ambassador Bonus and the Cashback Bonus, nor exchange the Rebate for the Ambassador Bonus or Cashback Bonus after it has been processed by iCash. Refunds or exchanges shall not be accepted. The Referral Program cannot be combined with any other offer or rebate unless otherwise disclosed or permitted.

General Provisions

Except where prohibited, the Ambassador and the Referral agree that: (1) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected to the Referral Program shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively in the Province of Ontario; (2) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, but in no event, legal fees; and, (3) under no circumstances will the Ambassador or the Referral be permitted to obtain compensation for any such disputes, claims or causes of action arising out of or connected to the Referral Program, and the Ambassador and the Referral hereby waive all rights to claim indirect, punitive, incidental, consequential damages or any other damages, other than those for actual out-of-pocket expenses; and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of the Terms and Conditions, or the rights and obligations of the Ambassador, the Referral or iCash in connection with the Referral Program, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario.
