1.1.4. Personal Link: A personal URL unique to each Referrer.
1.1.5. User: Individuals who are accessing or using the Programme either as a Referrer or as a
Recruit referred to Hometree’s Services and the use of ‘User’ or ‘you’ shall be a reference to either or both as the context permits.
1.1.6. Reward: The reward amount offered by us under the Programme. The Reward will vary by campaign.

1.2. Programme eligibility and delivery
1.2.1. Either the Referrer, Recruit or both the Referrer and the Recruit will receive a Reward when the Recruit successfully acquires a service and/or product from Hometree, subject to these conditions.
1.2.2. The Programme is open to Referrers and Recruits who are residents of the UK. Over 18s only.
1.2.3. The Recruit agrees that their first and last name as well as their postcode may be shared with the Referrer.
1.2.4. Referrers must be existing Hometree home cover customers. Recruits must not have already been a Hometree customer in the preceding 24 months, under any email address or alias. Only one referral account is permitted per household.
1.2.5. The Recruit must use the Referrer’s Personal Link to purchase a product or service from Hometree, either online on www.hometree.co.uk or as a result of a phone call with a Hometree representative. Referrals claimed retrospectively are not eligible and will not be rewarded. Hometree is not responsible for failure to issue Rewards resulting from an incorrectly quoted Personal Link.
1.2.6. A Referrer or a Recruit will not receive more than one Reward per customer referral.
1.2.7. If the Recruit cancels their agreement with Hometree before the end of their 14-day cooling off period, this will result in the cancellation of the Referrer’s Reward, the Recruit’s Reward and, where applicable, the Referrer’s and the Recruit’s Reward.
1.2.8. The Referrer will be notified by email once a Recruit has been referred successfully.
1.2.9. Rewards will be delivered to the Referrer and the Recruit in the form of a voucher, however, not before the cooling-off period of the Recruit’s agreement with Hometree has ended.
1.2.10. Users may offer additional rewards to Recruits as long as it is clear that the additional reward is entirely the responsibility of the User and not the responsibility of Hometree.
1.2.11. Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the Programme or any portion thereof for any reason, or upon cancellation of a User’s Hometree home cover agreement for any reason, any unredeemed Rewards accumulated by the User are forfeited.
1.2.12. Customer referrals cannot be combined with any other promotions. If a Recruit applies any other promotional offer to their referred contract, this will result in the cancellation of the Referrer’s and the Recruit’s Reward.
1.2.13. Customer referrals cannot be combined with products offered on partner sites, e.g. on moneysupermarket.com, or products that are exclusively available to customers of partners.
1.2.14. Every Reward advertised on Hometree’s website will be subject to this Agreement. In addition, the Reward will be subject to any specific or bespoke terms notified to you at the time you register for the Programme.
