Referral Program Terms and Conditions

1.1. General Eligibility

To participate in the Referral Program, you must have a valid, active Paceful account in good standing. Users whose accounts have been suspended, terminated, or flagged for fraudulent activity are not eligible to participate.

1.2. Referrer Eligibility

Any registered Paceful user may share their unique referral code with others. Each user is assigned one unique referral code. There is no limit to the number of people you may invite using your referral code.

1.3. Invitee Eligibility

To be eligible as an Invitee, you must meet the following conditions:

• You must be a new user creating a Paceful account for the first time.
• You may only use one (1) referral code per account, per lifetime. Once a referral code has been submitted, it cannot be changed or replaced.
• You cannot use your own referral code.
• You cannot use a referral code from a user who shares the same device as you.

2.1. Sharing Your Referral Code

You can find and share your unique referral code from the "Invite Friends" section in your Profile tab. You may share your code through any personal communication channel, including but not limited to messaging apps, email, and social media.

2.2. Submitting a Referral Code

Invitees can enter a referral code within the Paceful app after creating an account. The referral code must be valid and active at the time of submission. Expired or invalid codes will not be accepted.

2.3. Reward Distribution

Upon successful validation of a referral code, rewards are credited immediately to both the Referrer and the Invitee. Reward amounts are determined by Paceful and may vary based on promotional events or program updates.

3.1. Standard Rewards

The following standard rewards apply to the Referral Program:

• Referrer (Inviter): Earns Gold for each successful referral when the Invitee signs up and enters their referral code.
• Invitee (New User): Earns a Gold bonus upon successfully submitting a valid referral code.

3.2. Promotional and Event Bonuses

From time to time, Paceful may offer elevated or additional referral rewards during promotional periods ("Event Bonuses"). Event Bonuses may be subject to additional conditions, including but not limited to:

• The Invitee must sign up within a specified time window.
• The Referrer may need to have completed certain milestones (e.g., the Welcome Challenge).
• The elevated bonus may apply only to the Referrer's first successful referral.

Event Bonus conditions will be communicated within the app or through official Paceful communication channels. Paceful reserves the right to modify or discontinue Event Bonuses at any time without prior notice.

3.3. Nature of Rewards

All referral rewards are issued as Gold, a virtual item within the Paceful Service. Gold is not real currency, has no cash value, is not redeemable for cash, and cannot be transferred or sold outside the Service. Gold earned through the Referral Program is subject to the same terms as outlined in Section 4 of Paceful's general Terms and Conditions, including expiration after 12 months of account inactivity.

4.1. Code Validity

Referral codes are subject to the following rules:

• Each referral code is unique to the Referrer's account.
• Referral codes may have an expiration date. Expired codes cannot be used.
• The Referrer's account must be active and in good standing for their code to remain valid.

4.2. One-Time Use

Each Invitee may only submit one referral code. Once a code has been accepted, it is permanently recorded and cannot be removed or replaced with a different code.

6.1. Verification

Paceful uses automated and manual verification methods to detect fraudulent referral activity. This includes, but is not limited to, device fingerprinting, account behavior analysis, and IP monitoring.

6.2. Right to Revoke

Paceful reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revoke, withhold, or claw back any referral rewards that were earned through fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise prohibited means. This action may be taken at any time, even after rewards have been credited to your account.

6.3. Account Actions

In cases of confirmed fraud or abuse, Paceful may take one or more of the following actions without prior notice: suspend or terminate the offending account(s), forfeit all accumulated rewards, and/or permanently ban the user from participating in future referral programs.

7.1. Right to Modify

Paceful reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Referral Program, or any aspect thereof, at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion, without liability to you. This includes the right to change reward amounts, eligibility criteria, and program mechanics.

7.2. Notice of Changes

Material changes to these Referral Terms will be communicated through the Paceful app or via email. Your continued participation in the Referral Program after such notification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Referral Terms.

7.3. Effect of Termination

If the Referral Program is terminated, all pending referral rewards that have not yet been credited will be forfeited. Rewards already credited to your account will remain subject to the general terms governing Gold.
