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.
