Once the Referred Customer meets the Eligibility Requirements, a credit in the amount of $30 (“Referral Reward”), will be applied to the Referring Customer’s account. If the Referring Customer has more than one active Aptive account, the credit will be applied to only one account at Aptive’s sole discretion. Please allow up to 30 days for Referral Rewards to be applied after the Referred Customer has received his or her initial service.

If a Referred Customer is referred by multiple Referring Customers, the first Required Information Aptive receives identifying a Referring Customer, based on the date and time of the submission (as determined by Aptive in its sole discretion) shall be the only Referring Customer entitled to receive a Referral Reward.

ALL REFERRAL REWARDS ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS.” NEITHER APTIVE NOR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES (THE “APTIVE PARTIES”) SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, COST, OR INJURY THAT ARISES FROM OR RELATES TO PARTICIPATION IN THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, OR USE OF ANY REFERRAL REWARD, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (I) LATE, LOST, DELAYED, DAMAGED, MISDIRECTED, INCOMPLETE, OR UNINTELLIGIBLE ENTRIES; (II) TELEPHONE, ELECTRONIC, HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PROGRAM, NETWORK, INTERNET, OR COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS, FAILURES, VIRUSES OR DIFFICULTIES OF ANY KIND; (III) FAILED, INCOMPLETE, GARBLED, OR DELAYED COMPUTER TRANSMISSIONS; (IV) THE USE OR DOWNLOADING OF ANY SOFTWARE OR MATERIAL IN CONNECTION WITH THIS REFERRAL PROGRAM; (V) TYPOGRAPHICAL OR OTHER ERROR IN THE PRINTING OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, ADMINISTRATION OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, OR IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANY REFERRAL REWARD; (VI) ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE THE REFERRAL PROGRAM TO BE DISRUPTED OR CORRUPTED; AND (VII) ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY THAT MAY RESULT FROM RECEIPT OR USE OF A REFERRAL REWARD.

SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES OR CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, THEREFORE, CERTAIN OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
By participating in the Referral Program, you agree that you have read, understand and will abide, and be bound, by these Terms and Conditions. Except where prohibited, disputes, claims and cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Program or a Referral Reward shall be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
By participating in the Referral Program, You, the Referring Customer, agree to resolve any disputes arising from the Program or related to these Terms and Conditions through binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act rather than any state arbitration law. The arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) by a single neutral arbitrator. Either party may initiate the arbitration process by filing the necessary forms with the AAA. To learn more about arbitration before the AAA, you can review materials available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in the location that is most convenient to you. If the AAA is unavailable to administer the dispute, then the arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by JAMS, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) by a single neutral arbitrator agreed on by the parties within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration. If JAMS is not available either, then the parties shall select another recognized arbitration administrator which can offer a location for arbitration that is close to you.
If you initiate the arbitration, you will be required to pay the first $125 of any filing fee. We will pay any filing fees in excess of $125 and we will pay all of the arbitration fees and costs. If we initiate the arbitration, we will pay all of the filing fees and all of the arbitration fees and costs. We will each bear all of our own respective attorney’s fees, witness fees, and costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.
The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any legal or equitable remedy or relief that a court could order or grant under the Terms. The arbitrator, however, is not authorized to change or alter the Terms or to make any award that would extend to any transaction other than yours. All statutes of limitation that are applicable to any dispute shall apply to any arbitration between you and Aptive. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, briefly stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Only disputes involving you and Aptive may be addressed in the arbitration. Disputes must be brought in the name of an individual person or entity and must proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The arbitrator will not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the dispute. If you and we arbitrate a dispute, none of you or us, nor any other person, may pursue the dispute in arbitration as a class action, class arbitration, private attorney general action or other representative action, nor may any such dispute be pursued on your or our behalf in any litigation in any court except as specifically provided below. Claims regarding any dispute and remedies sought as part of a class action, class arbitration, private attorney general or other representative action are subject to arbitration only on an individual (non- class, non-representative) basis, and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This means that the arbitration may not address disputes involving other persons with disputes similar to the disputes between you and us.
EVEN IF ANY PART OF THIS SECTION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE THAT MIGHT ARISE BETWEEN OR INVOLVING YOU AND APTIVE, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
BECAUSE YOU AND WE HAVE AGREED TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION, YOU AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT DISPUTE IN COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT DISPUTE, OR ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES AS DEFINED HEREIN. FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES AND MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL BAR YOU OR APTIVE FROM: (I) OBTAINING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FROM A COURT AGAINST THREATENED CONDUCT THAT COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE HARM, LOSS OR DAMAGE, UNDER THE USUAL EQUITY RULES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE RULES FOR OBTAINING RESTRAINING ORDERS AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS; OR (II) OBTAINING A JUDGMENT FROM A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION CONFIRMING THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR; OR (III) OBTAINING RESOLUTION OF A DISPUTE IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF THE DISPUTE FALLS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO TRANSFER RESOLUTION OF SUCH A DISPUTE FROM A SMALL CLAIMS COURT TO A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION).
Subject to these Terms and Conditions, Referring Customer and Referred Customer information submitted pursuant to the Referral Program will be collected and used in accordance with Aptive’s Privacy Policy (https://www.goaptive.com/privacy-policy). Referring Customer and Referred Customer agree and shall, as applicable, comply with Aptive’s Privacy Policy. Aptive may, in its sole discretion, update its Privacy Policy from time to time.
