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.

1.2.11. 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.
