Referral Program

Volcom, LLC ("we", "Volcom" or "Company") may, from time to time, offer our customers ("Service") the opportunity to refer friends to buy our products ("Volcom Referral Program" or "Program"). We reserve the right to terminate the Program at any time for any reason or no reason.

Users (defined below) are bound by these Terms and Conditions by participating in the Program. By participating in the Program, Users agree to use the Program in the manner specified in these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety you are not authorized to register as a Referrer (defined below) or participate in the Program in any manner. Users (defined below) may not participate in the Program where doing so would be prohibited by any applicable law or regulation.

We reserve the right to modify or amend these Terms and Conditions and the methods through which Rewards are earned at any time. We reserve the right to disqualify any User (defined below) at any time from participation in the Program if he/she does not comply with any of these Terms and Conditions.

No part of the Program is directed to persons under the age of 18. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE PROGRAM AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

PRIVACY

Individuals may participate in the Program to recommend products, services or content made available by Company to their friends, family or colleagues ("Users"). To do this, Users must submit personal information about themselves and their friends, family members or colleagues, such as name and e-mail address information, so that the Company can send these recommendations on their behalf. The personal information provided by Users will be collected, processed and used in accordance with Company's Privacy Statement, which can be found at www.volcom.com/pages/privacy-policy. In addition, personal information may be used by Company to contact Users with regards to their participation in the Program and to receive communications from Company. Where a User provides personal information about its friends, family members or colleagues to receive communications via the Program, the provided personal information will be used by the Company for sending these communications on behalf of the User and User understands that Company may send out additional follow-up communications on behalf of the User to encourage or remind the friends, family members or colleagues to complete the purchase or registration process.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

To participate, individuals may visit www.volcom.com/pages/refer-a-friend and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues to the Service by sharing their unique referral link ("Personal Link") in the "Refer A Friend" box.

Users who refer are called "Referrers." Individuals who receive a referral are called "Referred Customers." An "eligible" Referrer who is fully compliant with these Terms and Conditions may receive "Reward(s)" for every "Qualified Referral." To be "eligible," a Referrer must:

  • be a legal resident of the United States of America; and
  • be at least 18 years old.

Employees of the Company, its Service Provider or any of its or their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies, including immediate family and household members, are not eligible.

MAKING A REFERRAL

An individual must register to make a referral, but no purchase is required. Once an individual refers a friend, family member or colleague, he/she becomes a Referrer and will be provided with a Personal Link that allows the Referrer to receive credit for Qualified Referrals ("Credit"). Personal Links will be issued only to individuals. Each Referrer will also be provided with a unique and personal Volcom "Refer-a-Friend" page or account to view the status of his/her Qualified Referrals and manage his/her account.

Referrers may only refer real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions. Referrers may not refer themselves. For example, a Referrer may not create multiple or fake accounts with Volcom or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.

QUALIFIED REFERRALS

A Qualified Referral means that all the following conditions are met:

  • The Referred Customer completed their first purchase over $49 on www.volcom.com not including tax or shipping-related charges with the Service using the Referrer's "Personal Link." If a Referred Customer purchases or registers with the Service using any other link or method, the registration will not count as a Qualified Referral and the Referrer will not earn Credit;
  • The Referred Customer is a new customer with zero (0) previous orders and does not have an account with Volcom.com;
  • The Referred Customer was not previously registered with the Service under any email address or alias;
  • The Referred Customer is a) a legal resident of the United States of America or Canada, and b) at least 18 years old; and
  • Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Referred Customer up to a maximum of ten (10) Referred Customers during the operation of the Program. Any additional or subsequent purchases made by a Referred Customer will not be Qualified Referrals.
CREDIT FOR QUALIFIED REFERRALS

Credit can only be awarded for Qualified Referrals.

EARNING REWARDS

Referrer shall receive one hundred (100) Volcom Stone Rewards points that can be redeemed for a ten dollar (US$10) one-time use discount code for each verified Qualified Referral generated by Referrer. A Referrer may not earn more than 10 credits or a total of 100 dollars (US$100) in Rewards, whichever is accrued first, per calendar year.

Rewards may be redeemed only at volcom.com. Check your Volcom Refer-A-Friend account for details. Restrictions may apply and cannot be combined with any other promotions that require the use of a coupon code.

Rewards expire one (1) calendar year from issue date unless a purchase is made and are non-transferable. Rewards cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts. See Volcom Stone Rewards Terms & Conditions for full details of Rewards.

VERIFIED QUALIFIED REFERRALS

Rewards are subject to verification. The Company may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. Company may also refuse to verify and process any transaction Company deems, in its sole discretion, to be potentially fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents.

All of the Company's decisions are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral, Credit or Reward is verified.

TRANSFER AND VALUE OF CREDIT AND REWARDS

Credit and Rewards have no monetary value and may not be redeemed for cash. Credit and Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the Program or any portion thereof for any reason, or upon cancellation of a Referrer's Volcom account for any reason, any unredeemed Credit and Rewards accumulated by the Referrer are forfeited.
