Grunt Referral Program Terms & Conditions

Grunt AS, a Norwegian company with organization number 914 910 951 MVA, (“Grunt”) may at times offer you the opportunity to refer friends and acquaintances through a referral program (the “Referral Program”) offered on our website located at www.grunt.pro.

By participating in the Referral Program, you accept the following terms and conditions (the “Referral Terms”). We may update the Referral Terms at any time without prior notice. Any modifications of the Referral Terms will be posted on our website, and continued participation in the Referral Program shall constitute consent to the modified Referral Terms.

1. How the Referral Program works

  • A current customer of Grunt (the “Referrer”) signs up for the Referral Program by sending an e-mail to referrals@grunt.pro with a family member, friend, client, acquaintance, or colleague (the “Referee”) attached as a carbon copy (cc) on the e-mail.
  • The Referee buys an annual Grunt subscription either through Grunt’s website or through Grunt’s sales team (the “Referral Purchase”).
  • A referral reward will be offered to the Referrer if the Referee completes the purchase and stays as a customer for more than 30 days without requesting a refund (a “Qualified Purchase”).

To receive the referral discount, the Referrer or the Referee must reach out to Grunt by e-mail before the Referral Purchase is completed. The discount and the reward(s) cannot be applied after the purchase has been completed.

2. Eligibility

To participate in the Referral Program, you must:

  • be the age of majority in your jurisdiction (e.g. 18 years old)
  • reside in a country listed in Grunt’s webshop (grunt.pro/store)
  • have an active Grunt subscription purchased through grunt.pro/store or the Grunt sales team and have completed any applicable trial period without asking for a refund (a “Qualifying Purchase”)
  • comply with the terms and conditions governing your purchase(s) from Grunt, especially concerning the prohibition on purchases made for resale

Specifically, the Referral Program does not apply to resellers of Grunt or anyone with a personal connection to or working in close affiliation with a Grunt reseller.

Referrals may only be used for non-commercial purposes. You may not refer yourself; the Referrer and the Referee must be two different natural people.

Grunt may restrict your participation without notice if the Referral Program is in violation of applicable laws or decisions from public authorities in your jurisdiction.

3. Conduct (including anti-spam requirements)

When you pass on referrals to your friends, you are the actual sender of the messages and must comply with applicable law. You are prohibited from “spamming” anyone with referral invitations. Referrals must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with family members, friends, clients, or colleagues.

Any distribution of the Referral Program that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or “spam” under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited. In particular, you must not:

  • distribute the Referral Program to strangers
  • refer individuals under the age of majority in the recipient’s jurisdiction
  • publish or distribute the Referral Program on commercial websites such as coupon websites, Facebook groups with more than 10 members, Reddit or on blogs
  • use bots or automated programs to distribute information about the Referral Program
  • pay to advertise the Referral Program, or attempt to market, reproduce, sell or resell referral rewards to any third party whatsoever

Referrers who do not comply with applicable law, including anti-spam laws, are obligated to indemnify Grunt against any liabilities, costs and expenses we incur as a result of such spam.

In addition, you must not:

  • violate the intellectual property rights of Grunt
  • act with intent to annoy, harass or abuse any other person
  • participate in any inappropriate, uncooperative, disruptive, fraudulent, potentially fraudulent or unusual activity
  • act in a manner that in the sole discretion of Grunt is deemed to be generally inconsistent with the intended purpose of the Referral Program

Grunt reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to exclude any individual from participating in any aspect of the Referral Program and to void any pending rewards with immediate effect and without prior warning if Grunt deems or suspects that an individual has violated the Referral Terms.

4. Restrictions on rewards and offers

The following rules and restrictions apply to rewards and offers under the Referral Program.

For the Referrer:

  • Grunt may from time to time update the rewards on offer under the Referral Program. The Referrer will receive the award as indicated in these terms and conditions at the time when the Referee completes his or her Referral Purchase
  • The total rewards to the Referrer for successful referrals are limited to the amount of the Referrer’s active yearly subscription amount
  • Rewards for Referrer are redeemed as a coupon that is applied at the next renewal for the Referrer and according to the amounts per referral as indicated here. Rewards are non-transferable and only redeemable to the Referrer or the Company employing the Referrer. Rewards are void if we are unable to complete the payment for the next renewal for the Referrer, for instance due to restrictions placed by the payment service provider or card issuer. Rewards will under no circumstances be paid out in cash
  • Rewards are subject to verification. Grunt may delay a reward for the purposes of investigation. Rewards will be redeemed at the earliest convenience after Referee completes the trial/satisfaction guarantee period and the verification process is completed. If the satisfaction guarantee for the purchase is 30 days, rewards may be redeemed at approximately 35 days after the Referee’s confirmed purchase. Any rewards will be revoked if a refund is requested on the order for which the reward was issued
  • Rewards may be taxable, depending on the value of the item and tax laws applicable to the recipient. The recipient is solely responsible for reporting such items on their tax returns and paying any associated tax liability
  • Any rewards may be revoked without prior notice if the Referrer breaches the Referral Terms or if the Referee breaches Grunt’s general terms and conditions
  • Any unused rewards or coupons will be revoked without prior notice if the Referrer cancels their Grunt subscription

For the Referee:

  • Rewards may only be used to purchase a new Grunt subscription
  • Rewards do not apply to resubscriptions for former Grunt client’s
  • The Referee may only be referred by one person. If a person receives referral information from multiple Referrers, only the Referrer listed by the Referee will receive the referral reward
  • The Referral Program offers may not be combined with other Grunt promotions or incentives. If we have other offers that are clearly more attractive to the Referee, we will use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that the Referee receives this alternative offer. Such alternative offers will not affect rewards offered to the Referrer

Grunt reserves the right to update any and all elements of this offer at any time without notice.

5. Privacy

Participation in the Referral Program may require a Referrer and/or Referee to submit personal data about themselves. Personal data that is collected as part of the Referral Program will be used to:

  • operate and maintain the Referral Program, including providing referral rewards to qualified participants,
  • evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the Referral Program,
  • provide tailored communication and marketing,
  • monitor compliance with the Referral Terms, and
  • comply with our legal obligations

All processing of personal data is subject to Grunt's privacy policy. You may at any time opt out from receiving further communication regarding the Referral Program by unsubscribing from our emails.

6. Limitation of liability

Grunt is not liable to you for any business, financial or economic loss or for any consequential or indirect loss such as loss of reputation, lost bargain, lost profit, loss of anticipated savings or loss of opportunity arising as a result of any services Grunt provide to you in relation to the Referral Program (whether suffered or incurred as a result of our negligence or otherwise), except in the case of fraud, wilful concealment or theft.

Grunt’s liability to you for all losses associated with your participation in the Referral Program is limited to the minimum of (i) the equivalent monetary value of rewards received under the Referral Program and (ii) USD 100.

No claim may be brought against Grunt in relation to your participation in the Referral Program more than 12 months following the date on which you last received a reward.

Nothing in the Referral Terms limits or excludes Grunt’s liability caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7. Indemnification

Participants in the Referral Program agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Grunt and its representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, liabilities, costs, or expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, arising from, or related to any breach by the participant of any of the Referral Terms or any violation by the participant of applicable law.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

PARTICIPANTS AND PROSPECTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE REFERRAL PROGRAM EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (A) YOUR USE OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, THE REFERRAL PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS AND GRUNT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND TERMS (COLLECTIVELY, "PROMISES") OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW OR CUSTOM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROMISES AS TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE USE OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, IMPLIED PROMISES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) GRUNT MAKES AND GIVES NO PROMISE THAT (i) THE PROGRAM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (iii) THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, (iv) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE PROGRAM WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, AND (v) ANY ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED; AND (C) ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.

9. Right to cancel, modify, exclude or terminate

Grunt reserves the right to cancel, modify or terminate the Program at any time for any reason. Grunt reserves the right to disqualify any participant at any time from participation in the Referral Program if we have a good faith belief that he/she has violated any of the Referral Terms.

10. Other terms

If any provision in these terms is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision (or the part of it that is making it invalid, void, or unenforceable) will be struck and will not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The Referral Terms constitute the entire agreement between participants and Grunt concerning participants’ use of the Referral Program. The failure of Grunt to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Referral Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Referral Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Referral Terms remain in full force and effect.

11. Applicable law

Except where prohibited, disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or related to this Referral Program or any reward shall be resolved under the laws of Norway, and participants agree to submit any dispute to the exclusive jurisdiction to the courts of Norway.
