Refer a Client Scheme T&Cs
These terms set out how my referral scheme works. By taking part, you agree to the following:
1. Eligibility
- The scheme is open to existing clients of The Typed Word (“the Referrer”).
- A “New Client” is someone who has not previously worked with The Typed Word.
2. The Reward
- When you (the Referrer) successfully introduce a New Client who goes on to purchase copywriting services, you will receive 10% off your next invoice from The Typed Word, up to a maximum discount of £100 per successful referral.
- The discount is calculated based on the Referrer’s next invoice, excluding VAT where applicable. For example, if the Referrer’s next invoice is £500 (excluding VAT), they will receive £50 off.
- The reward is earned once the New Client has paid their first invoice in full.
- The discount applies to the Referrer’s next invoice only and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another person.
3. Duration
- The reward is available once the New Client has paid their first invoice in full.
- The Referrer must redeem their discount within 12 months of the reward being earned.
- Any unused reward will expire after 12 months and cannot be carried forward.
4. Multiple Referrals
- There is no limit to how many New Clients you can refer.
- The reward will be calculated separately for each New Client, with a maximum discount of £100 per successful referral.
- Multiple referral rewards may be applied to the same invoice, subject to the applicable discount limits.
5. Redemption of Rewards
- The discount will be applied to the Referrer’s next invoice following confirmation that the New Client has paid their first invoice in full.
- The discount will be calculated at 10% of the Referrer’s next invoice, excluding VAT where applicable, up to a maximum of £50 per successful referral.
- If the next invoice is less than the available discount, the discount will be limited to the invoice amount, and any remaining balance will not be carried forward.
- Multiple referral discounts may be applied to the same invoice, subject to the applicable discount limits.
6. Exclusions
- You cannot refer yourself or your own business.
- If the New Client is already in contact with me, or has enquired previously, the referral will not be valid.
- I reserve the right to decline any referral or participation in the scheme at my discretion.
7. Changes to the Scheme
- I may amend or withdraw the scheme at any time, but any commission already earned will still be honoured.
8. Governing Law
- These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
