Referral Program Rules

Terms + Conditions

The following terms and conditions (the “Referral Program Rules”) govern your participation in QWICK GP LLC (“Qwick”) Referral Programs (as defined below). The Referral Rules apply to Referral Programs that are administered solely by Qwick. When you participate in any Referral Programs (either by referring your friends, family, or businesses, or signing up for the Qwick Service with a referral code), you agree to be bound by these Referral Program Rules along with any other specific terms that relate to the Referral Programs, in addition to any other agreements between you and Qwick, including the Qwick Terms of Use (collectively with these Referral Program Rules, the “Qwick Terms”). The Qwick Terms are incorporated by reference and shall apply to your participation in all Referral Programs, including, if necessary, to resolve any disputes between you and Qwick related to or arising out of the Referral Programs. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Qwick Terms of Use.

1. Program Overview

Qwick uses technology to connect businesses with ready-to-work hourly temporary workers to work on-demand daily shifts across the United States (the “Qwick Platform”), featuring automation of workforce management and staffing functions.

Qwick offers referral programs to current Professionals and Businesses on the Qwick Platform (each, a “Referrer''). Referrers can refer individuals or businesses to join the Qwick Platform as a new Professional or new Business (each, a “Referred Professional'” or “Referred Business”, and generically as used herein from time to time, a “Referred User”). These Referral Program Rules apply to both Referrers and Referred Users, so please read carefully to understand your respective rights and obligations.

2. Referrer Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in the Referral Programs as a Referrer, you must (a) be a legal resident of the United States, (b) be at least 18 years old, (c) be legally able to participate in the Referral Programs, and (d) maintain a Qwick account in good standing (e.g., if you are referring on behalf of a current Business, the Business must not be delinquent or overdue on any fees owed to Qwick; if you are referring as a Professional, you must have a Qwick account that is eligible to work on the Qwick Platform (“Good Standing”)).

Further, if you are referring on behalf of a current Business, you must have all necessary authorizations to participate in the Referral Program on behalf of that Business, and you may not be an employee of, or the immediate family or household members of an employee of, QWICK GP LLC.

If you violate the Referral Program Rules, the Qwick Terms, or any other applicable terms (such as having more than one Qwick account), Qwick may in its sole discretion suspend or terminate your ability to participate in any Referral Programs (now or in the future). Qwick reserves the right to change, end, or pause, in whole or in part, any Referral Program, as well as any Referrer’s ability to participate in any Referral Program or receive Referral Rewards (as defined below) at any time for any reason, including for suspected fraud (including by either the Referrer and/or Referred Users), abuse, or any violation of the Qwick Terms.

3. Referred User Eligibility

Your friends, family, and other people and businesses you know (but not yourself) may be eligible to be Referred Users. To be a Referred User, the referred individual or business (a) must be a new user of the Qwick Platform (i.e., has never created a Qwick account or been contacted by Qwick’s sales team), (b) has not been previously referred by any other party (including yourself), and (c) meets the conditions Qwick has for using the Qwick Platform.

Please note that each Referred user can be referred only once, so if someone else has already referred them and they have accepted that invitation, they will not be able to accept yours. If you are providing Qwick with the contact information for your Referred Users, you represent that you have the right to provide that information.

4. Your Qwick Referral Tokens

Under any Referral Programs, Qwick may provide you with a unique numeric code (“Qwick Referral Code”) or a link (“Qwick Referral Link”)(collectively referred to as “Qwick Referral Tokens”) to distribute to eligible individuals or businesses to become new Professionals or Businesses. Qwick may also provide you with the ability to create additional Qwick Referral Tokens. Qwick owns all rights to any Qwick Referral Tokens whether provided to you or created by you. You acknowledge and agree that (a) Qwick may limit the number of Qwick Referral Tokens you may create or that are made available to you based on the Referral Program in which you participate, or for any other reason in Qwick’s sole discretion, (b) you have no ownership rights in any form over the Qwick Referral Token, (c) Qwick may reclaim, deactivate, invalidate and/or terminate your Qwick Referral Token at any time at its sole discretion, and (d) you will only use your Qwick Referral Token for personal and non-commercial purposes. To see if your Qwick Referral Token has a limit, refer to the terms and conditions of the specific Referral Program in which you are participating.

5. How to Refer New Users to the Qwick Platform

a) Invitations through the Qwick Platform

You may invite individuals and businesses to become new users of the Qwick Platform directly through the Qwick Platform by navigating to the section of the Qwick mobile app (the “App”) that is designated as “Referrals.” Inviting an individual or a business through the Qwick Platform may generate an automatic invitation text (SMS) (standard rates and fees apply – check with your carrier for details) to the person and business which may be sent through your phone number. You represent that you have the necessary consent from your Referred Users to send them the invitation.

b) Other invitations

You may invite individuals and businesses to become new users of the Qwick Platform by distributing your Qwick Referral Token.

  • For business referrals, your Qwick Referral Token will be provided in the form of a Qwick Referral Link. The Referred Business must access the Qwick Platform and complete registration by clicking directly through your referral link for you to receive attribution for the referral.

  • For professional referrals, your Qwick Referral Token will be provided in the form of a Qwick Referral Code. The Referred Professional must manually input your referral code into the Qwick Platform at the time of registration for you to receive attribution for the referral.

An individual or business will not be able to apply your Qwick Referral Token if (i) they have already applied another Qwick user’s Qwick Referral Token or promotional code, (ii) they have already received credit from Qwick or another source on their Qwick account prior to use of your Qwick Referral Token, or (iii) in the case of a referral code, the code is not entered onto the Referred Professional’s account at the time of signup.

If a Referred User does not register using your Qwick Referral Token in accordance with these requirements, you will not receive attribution for the referral, and such user will not be considered your Referred User.

6. Referral Reward

a) General

Referrers are eligible to earn a referral incentive (“Referral Reward”) for each Referred Professional and/or Referred Business that they refer to the Qwick Platform, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Referral Program Rules and the specific Referral Program (“Reward Criteria”). Referred Users may be eligible to earn a Referral Reward for signing up on the Qwick Platform, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Referral Program Rules and the specific Reward Criteria.

Reward Criteria may require that certain eligibility, criteria and/or conditions be met for the Referral Reward to be earned. Reward Criteria may include entry instructions and any other specific details, rules, or conditions relating to a particular Referral Reward, and may be published on the Qwick Platform, Qwick’s website, social media platforms, advertising materials, or in any other media that features the applicable Referral Reward. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Referral Program Rules and the Reward Criteria, the Reward Criteria shall prevail. The Reward Criteria are set by Qwick at its sole discretion and are subject to change at any time. The Reward Criteria may vary by time, conditions, and/or service area (or within a particular market). The type of Referral Reward you are eligible to receive may depend on (i) the Qwick region associated with the Referred User when they apply the Referrer’s Qwick Code, (ii) the Qwick region where the Referred User posted or performed their first approved shift, or (iii) other factors as determined and communicated by Qwick. Qwick, at its sole discretion, may make available certain promotions with different Reward Criteria or Referral Rewards to other users or prospective users. These promotions, unless offered to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your agreement or relationship with Qwick.

In the Qwick Platform or Qwick websites, both the Referrers and the Referred Users may be presented with estimated amounts of the Referral Reward they may receive if all the Reward Criteria and other conditions described herein are met. These amounts are calculated based on certain assumptions, such as, without limitation, the Referrer’s or the Referred User’s location at the time they posted or performed their first job or downloaded the Qwick Platform, and may not be accurate based on the actual behavior of the Referred Users. Such amounts, therefore, are only estimates and may differ based on a number of factors. Qwick will make a good faith calculation of such amounts based on the location of the applicable Referrer and the Referred User. The Referrer and the Referred User will see the final applicable amount of their respective Referral Reward at the time when such Referral Reward is applied to their Qwick accounts and/or paid out.

b) Earning Referral Reward for Referrals between Qwick Professionals

In order to be eligible for a Referral Reward as a Referrer of a Professional, the Referred Professional must meet the eligibility criteria set forth in these Referral Program Rules in addition to the specific Referral Reward terms and conditions set forth by the applicable Reward Criteria.

The Referral Reward for both the Referrer and Referred Professional will be deposited to the Account associated with their Qwick account. Qwick reserves the right to change the method of payment, including but not limited to, Gift Card(s), Cash, and Digital Currency.

In order for a Referral Reward to be issued, a referral must be considered successful. A successful referral is subject to, without limitation, the condition that the Referred Professional complete the requirements outlined in the applicable Reward Criteria, and that they remain eligible on the Qwick Platform for 24 hours following the completion of the outlined requirements. Qwick has sole discretion to determine whether the above conditions have been met.

c) Earning Referral Reward for Referred Qwick Business Partners

When you refer a new Business to the Qwick Platform using your Qwick Referral Link, you may receive a Referral Reward in the form of direct payment to your bank account, payment via PayPal or similar, or any other method applicable to the specific Referral Program, at Qwick’s sole discretion. In order to receive a Referral Reward, the Referred Business must complete the signup process with Qwick and all requirements outlined in the applicable Reward Criteria, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Referral Program Rules and the applicable Reward Criteria. After a Referred Business has satisfied all such requirements, the Referrer will receive a notification from Qwick informing them of the completion. It is the Referrer’s responsibility to redeem their reward in the Qwick app, complete all necessary forms, and provide valid bank account details to enable the transfer of Referral Rewards. Referral Rewards may expire after a set amount of time, after which they are forfeited by the Referrer. Qwick cannot guarantee that a Referred Business will meet the requirements outlined in the applicable Reward Criteria as any Business’ usage of the Qwick Platform is entirely within their control.

d) Resolving Disputes over Referrals

Only one Qwick user can earn a Referral Reward for a single Referred Professional or Referred Business. In the event that multiple users claim credit for a particular referral, Qwick has full discretion to determine which person earned such referral according to Qwick’s systems.

As a condition of participating in the Referral Programs, you agree that any and all disputes which cannot be resolved between the parties arising out of a Referral Program shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, exclusively before a court located in Charleston, South Carolina having jurisdiction. Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain awards against Qwick, and hereby waive all rights to claim punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and you further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased. This provision does not supersede, modify, limit, or otherwise abrogate any agreement you may have to arbitrate disputes with Qwick as set forth in the Qwick Terms of Use or otherwise.

e) Reservation of rights

Qwick reserves the right to withhold or deduct Referral Rewards obtained through the Referral Programs in the event that Qwick determines or believes that the receipt of the Referral Reward was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the Qwick Terms or any other applicable agreement between you and Qwick.
