GigUpp Credits & Referral Rules
These rules cover GigUpp Credits and the referral programme. You agree to them by claiming, sharing or using a referral code, or by receiving Credits. They form part of the Terms of Service.
1. Credits have no cash value
GigUpp Credits are a thank-you for helping GigUpp grow. They are not money:
- they have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, mobile money, bank transfer, Funds or Earnings;
- they cannot be withdrawn, sold, transferred, gifted or inherited;
- they cannot be used where money is required, including to pay quotes, balances, subscriptions or fees;
- they are not e-money, a deposit, a security or an investment.
Credits are not redeemable for cash except where the law requires it. What Credits can be used for in future is not yet decided; we will announce any use before it starts.
2. How the referral programme works
- Every account has a referral code it can share.
- A new user can claim someone's code within 72 hours of creating their account. Each user can be referred only once, and you cannot refer yourself.
- A referral stays open for 90 days after the code is claimed.
- The referrer earns Credits when the person they referred does something meaningful within that period:
| What the referred person does | Referrer earns |
|---|---|
| Sends their first quote as a creator | 50 Credits |
| Pays for their first GigUpp subscription | 200 Credits |
The referred person does not receive Credits for being referred. Nothing is earned for a sign-up alone.
- Credits are added as soon as the action happens. Each referral can reward each action once.
- A referrer can be rewarded for at most 50 referrals per month.
3. Abuse
Credits earned by abuse can be removed at any time, and the account may be restricted. Abuse includes:
- referring yourself, or accounts you control;
- creating fake or duplicate accounts;
- paying or rewarding people to sign up outside the programme;
- using bots or scripts;
- working with others to trigger rewards without genuine use of GigUpp.
We may investigate, freeze a Credits balance during a review, and reverse rewards for a referral we find was not genuine.
4. Ending Credits
Credits end when your account is closed or deleted. Credits do not expire while your account is open, unless we change that with notice (§ 5). If we end the programme, unused Credits end on the date we announce.
5. Changes
We may change these rules, including what earns Credits and how many. We will give advance notice in the app, and by email for material changes, before changes take effect. Credits already earned are not removed by a change, except under § 3 or when the programme ends.
6. Taxes and liability
If the law treats Credits as income for you, you are responsible for any tax. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for changes to the programme, for Credits removed under § 3, or for the end of the programme.
