Marketing
Qualified Invite
A Qualified Invite is defined as the purchase of invisible aligners made at SmileDirectClub by a person (an "Invited Customer") who arrives to our website by clicking your Invite-a-Friend program link. Upon arriving at the website using the Invite-a-Friend program link, the Invited Customer must either schedule a free scan or order an at-home impression kit, and then purchase invisible aligners. A Qualified Invite is counted when the Invited Customer’s invisible aligners ship. You are limited to one Qualified Invite for each Invited Customer, in other words, additional/repeat purchases made by an Invited Customer are not counted as additional Qualified Invites.
Invited Customer
The Invited Customer and the Referrer cannot be the same person (for example, by using a different email address).
Referral Rewards
For you to earn referral rewards as a Referrer, the Invited Customer must complete an order of invisible aligners. The referral is counted and paid out once the invisible aligners ship to the Invited Customer.
Reward Payments
Rewards are payable in increments of €90, paid via Visa® e-gift card within 2-3 weeks from when the Invited Customer's aligners ship. Referrers are responsible for any and all tax liability resulting from Referral Rewards. If a Referrer is eligible to receive a Referral Reward, SmileDirectClub will send an email to Referrer's registered email address. To be sure SmileDirectClub reach Referrer's email inbox, SmileDirectClub asks that Referrer let SmileDirectClub know if its preferred email address changes at any time after registration at CustomerCare@SmileDirect.ie or 1800 851 076.
Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to individuals only. The SmileDirectClub Invite-A-Friend program cannot be used by businesses for affiliate lead generation as determined at SmileDirectClub’s sole discretion.
No Spam
Referrers may send an Invite-a-Friend program link via self-generated or pre-populated email to Invited Customers. In doing so, Referrers must comply with all applicable spam laws, including the Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2003 and the General Data Protection Regulation. For example, Referrers must obtain an Invited Customer’s consent prior to sending the "Invite-a-Friend" program link to Invited Customers (and cannot send an email to seek such consent). SmileDirectClub does not consent to bulk email distribution. Any distribution of a Referrer's Invite-a- Friend program link via self-generated email that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under any applicable spam laws is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of Referrer's account and exclusion from SmileDirectClub’s Invite-a-Friend program. For clarity, this section is subject to SmileDirectClub's obligations regarding email communications in Ireland.
Right to Close Accounts
SmileDirectClub reserves the right to close the account(s) of any Referrer and/or Invited Customer and to request proper payment if the Referrer and/or Invited Customer attempts to use the SmileDirectClub Invite-a-Friend program in a questionable manner or breaches any of these Terms & Conditions or is in violation of any applicable legislation.
Right to Cancel Program or Change Terms
SmileDirectClub reserves the right to cancel the Invite-a-Friend Program in its sole discretion. SmileDirectClub will inform you of any such cancellation. If you have registered with SmileDirectClub, you will be informed of any such cancellation by email. To be sure SmileDirectClub properly reach your email inbox, SmileDirectClub ask that you let SmileDirectClub know if your preferred email address changes at any time after registration by contacting CustomerCare@SmileDirect.ie or 1800 851 076.
