Referral Program Terms
Referral Program Terms
Version 1.0. Effective September 29, 2026.
These terms are between VIC2RY, INC., which operates tapsplain ("we", "us"), and a current tapsplain client who turns on a referral link (the "Client"). The Client accepts by ticking the box when switching the link on.
The Client's Terms of Service still apply. Where these two conflict, the Terms of Service win, except on the subject of the referral program itself.
1. Who can take part
A business with a delivered tapsplain page whose service is neither paused nor closed. The link belongs to the business, not to a person: if the business is sold, the link and any unclaimed rewards go with it. A Client whose service pauses keeps rewards already earned, and the link stops working until the service restarts.
2. The offer
- Anyone who arrives through the Client's link gets 10% off a first-year order placed within 365 days of their first click. The discount applies automatically, or by entering the code shown on the landing page.
- When that order is paid and 30 days pass with no refund, reversal or chargeback, the Client's service end date moves 3 months later.
- There is no limit on the number of rewards. They stack, and they carry through renewals.
3. What the reward is, and is not
Rewards are extra months of service. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged, and are not paid out if the Client cancels, does not renew, or is closed for breach. Nothing is owed in money at any point.
If a reward has any tax consequence for the Client's business, that is the Client's to handle. We issue no tax slip for a reward, because no money changes hands.
4. What doesn't count
- The Client referring itself, a business under common ownership or control with the Client, or a business that is already a client or has an open order.
- An order that carries a sales partner's code instead. Each order has one attribution, and what the customer entered at checkout decides it.
- Referrals produced by spam, purchased traffic, paid search or social ads using the tapsplain name, or links posted where they are not welcome (forums, review sections, comment threads, other businesses' listings).
We may cancel rewards from any of these and switch the link off.
5. Records and disputes
Our records decide clicks, orders, attribution and timing. A Client who thinks a reward was missed should raise it within 60 days of the referred order; after that the record stands. Rewards appear in the client area as counts: clicks, sign-ups and months earned.
We don't tell the Client who clicked or who bought. The referred business is told only that it arrived through the Client's business.
6. Saying that you get something
When the Client shares the link in a recommendation, whether that is a social post, a review, a message to another owner or a word at the counter, the Client must say plainly that they get a benefit if the other business signs up. Canadian competition law treats an undisclosed benefit behind a recommendation as misleading, and the penalties land on the person who posted it.
The sharing copy and the forwardable email we provide already carry that line. Don't remove it. If we find a public post promoting the link without the disclosure, we may hold the reward until it's fixed and cancel it if it isn't.
7. Changes and ending
- We may change the discount, the reward or these terms for future referrals on 30 days' notice in the client area and by email. Rewards already earned stand.
- We may end the whole program on 30 days' notice. Rewards already earned stand, and referrals still inside their 30-day window pay out if they qualify.
- Either side may end the Client's participation at any time. The same rule applies: earned rewards stand, in-window referrals pay out if they qualify, unless participation ended for a breach of section 4 or 6.
8. General
Governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The Client accepts these terms electronically under the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (Ontario), and our acceptance record is evidence of it. Our total liability under these terms is limited to the value of the reward in dispute. These terms are in English; les parties ont expressément exigé que la présente entente soit rédigée en anglais.
