BUSINESSES REFERRING FRIENDS FOR THE TAX CREDITS PROGRAM TERMS

These Terms for Lendio’s Businesses Referring Friends for the Tax Credits Program, along with any exhibits, (together the “Agreement”), dated as of the date which the prospective partner agrees to these terms (the “Effective Date”), govern your participation in the Businesses Referring Friends for the Tax Credits Program (the “Program”) offered by Lendio, Inc. (“Lendio”).

THESE TERMS STATE THAT ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LENDIO MUST BE RESOLVED IN THE STATE OF UTAH AND THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION. 

By registering and/or participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You also agree that the judgments and decisions of Lendio with respect to the administration of the Program and other interpretation and application of this Agreement, including those relating to your approval to participate in the Program and your compliance with the requirements set forth herein, will be final and binding and made by Lendio in its sole discretion.

Lendio reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. In the event of such a modification, you will be notified and Lendio will request that you accept the modified Agreement in accordance the terms of the Agreement. If you accept the modified Agreement within the timeframe specified, you may continue to participate in the Program, subject to terms and conditions of the modified Agreement. If you do not accept the modified Agreement within the timeframe specified, your participation in the Program will be terminated, and you must immediately terminate all activities in connection with the Program, including all uses of any Lendio assets, data, information, and Marks provided to you in connection with the Program, along with any links to Lendio.

Business’s admission into the Program is contingent upon Business submitting various due diligence documentation to Lendio, and Lendio’s acceptance of Business into the Program. Should Lendio, in its sole discretion, determine that Business’s documentation is insufficient, Lendio reserves the right to terminate Business’s continued participation in the Program.

As used in this Agreement, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to Lendio, and “you” and “your” or “Business” refers to the entity or individual which agrees to these terms. Business and Lendio may at times be referred to together as a Party or collectively as the Parties.

         THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

  1. Referrals 
  1. Referrals: Business will identify certain individuals or businesses to refer to Lendio for ERC preparation services (each a “Referral”). Business will be given a unique code to provide to the Referral, which must be inputted by the Referral for the Business to be credited for the Referral. In the event the code is not provided at the appointed point in the process, Business shall not receive credit for the referral. Furthermore, for a Referral to be valid, it must meet the qualifications set forth in this section.
    • Referral Qualifications.  To receive compensation for a Referral, the Referral must apply for an ERC using Lendio’s application, submitted all necessary documents to support the application, and the full application must be submitted to Lendio’s third party tax partners for review and submission to the IRS.
    • The determination of whether a Referral meets the foregoing criteria is in Lendio’s sole discretion. 
  2. Application and Loan Process. Lendio shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all applications and transactions made by Referrals on Lendio’s site. Business acknowledges that all applications and agreements relating to Lendio products shall be between Lendio and the Referral. Referrals who apply for products through this program will be deemed to be customers of Lendio. Accordingly, all Lendio terms and conditions, policies, and operating procedures will apply to any applications received through the Program and any transactions or relationships resulting therefrom. We may change our policies, terms and conditions and operating procedures at any time in our sole discretion without notice to you. For the avoidance of doubt, Lendio may approve, decline, withhold or suspend any application received through the Program or any resulting card or product account, in its sole discretion, and you will have no recourse for compensation which may be lost as a result of any such action.
  3. Attribution. Each Referral shall be attributed to Business to the extent the Referral uses Business’s unique code. In the event Referral does not use Business’s unique code, Business shall not receive attribution. 
  1. Compensation 
  1. Closed Transaction Definition. Lendio will pay Business for each Referral whose transaction results in a Closed Transaction. For a transaction to be a Closed Transaction under this Agreement, a Referral must meet the qualifications set forth in section 1(a)(i), and use the unique code associated with the Business.
  2. Payment. For all Closed Transactions, Lendio shall pay to Business a $500.00 gift card. Within ten (10) days of completion of the transaction, Lendio will send to the email associated with your account a method by which you can claim a Visa gift card in the amount of $500.00 USD (the “Gift Card”). In its sole discretion, Lendio may alter the method of delivery on a case-by-case basis. Lendio is not responsible for any inability to access the Promotion or claim a Gift Card due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outage or delays, computer difficulties and other technological problems. The Gift Card will expire when the “valid thru” date printed on the front of the Card has passed. If you have funds remaining on the Gift Card, but the card expires, please contact 1 (888) 524-1283. To request a replacement Card. Additional terms for the Gift Card can be found at the following links:

    • Termination for Cause. Lendio may terminate this Agreement immediately if Business materially breaches or violates any terms or conditions of this Agreement. All rights to causes of action and any provisions which by their terms are intended to survive termination, shall survive termination of this Agreement. However, in the case of Business’s breach of this Agreement, Lendio reserves the right to withhold any outstanding payments and pursue further action against Business to recover additional monetary damages resulting from Business’s breach of this Agreement and failure to comply with the terms herein.
    • Right of Termination. Lendio reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason, upon seven days prior written notice.
