Good news everyone! When you refer a friend to Newton you’ll not only get a referral bonus of $25, you’ll give one to them as well.

‍

Please review the Terms and Conditions of our Referral Program below

‍

How it Works

Get referral link

Navigate to the referrals tab on the Newton dashboard and copy your referral link.

‍

Send referral link to your friends

Your friends can use the referral link to sign up for a Newton account and make a trade.

‍

Enjoy your money

Once they buy or sell $100 CAD or more, you both earn $25 CAD.

‍

How can I keep track of my referrals?

You can find your referral information in your referral drawer on the Newton dashboard. You can track the amount you earned, the referral rate, and the number of links that were redeemed by your friends.

‍

Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?

There is no limit to the number of people you can refer. However, we reserve the right to adjust the referral program rules.

‍

Once I am referred, can I start to refer others?

Yes, your referral link will generate after your account is created.

‍

I forgot to use a referral code. Can I apply it retroactively?

If you forgot to use a referral code or experienced an issue applying a referral code while signing up, you have a 7 day grace period from the time your account was verified to create a ticket in-app and request retroactive application through our Customer Success team.

‍

Referral Statement

Because you used a referral link, the referrer whose link you used also gets $25 CAD when you deposit and trade $100 CAD or more in your account. This is a possible conflict of interest, as a referrer is incentivized to refer you to Newton’s platform even if they may believe that doing so may not be in your best interests.

Terms and Conditions

Last Modified: August 12, 2022

��ճԹϺ��. ("Newton" or “We”) offers our users and brand supporters (“Referrer” or “You”) the opportunity to participate in its referral program (the “Program”). We reserve the right to amend or terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, in Newton’s sole and absolute discretion. The Program is administered by Newton.

Referrers are bound by these Terms and Conditions by participating in the Program. By participating in the Program, Referrers agree to use the Program in the manner specified in these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety, you are not authorized to register as a Referrer or to participate in the Program in any other manner. Referrers may not participate in the Program where doing so would be prohibited by any applicable law or regulations.

We reserve the right to modify or amend at any time these Terms and Conditions and/or the methods through which rewards are earned. We reserve the right to disqualify any Referrers from participation in the Program at any time at our sole discretion, including without limitation if he/she does not comply with any of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise fails to comply with any applicable laws (including, without limitation, through any failure to include any required disclosures or otherwise required by Newton).

No part of the Program is directed to persons under the age of 18. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, YOU MAY NOT USE, ACCESS, OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

‍

I. How the Program Works

A. Program Participation, Generally

To participate in the Program, Referrers access their referral link page in their accounts and follow the instructions set on the page to refer friends or colleagues to the program.

Individuals who receive or use the referral link of a Referrer are referred to in these Terms and Conditions as a "Friend" or, if more than one, "Friends". An "Eligible" Referrer (as defined below) who is fully compliant with these Terms and Conditions may receive "Reward(s)" for every "Qualified Referral” (all terms in quotes to be understood as defined below). By participating in the Program, a Referrer represents that he or she has their Friends’ prior consent to use and provide their contact information to Newton and to send them the referral link via selected communication methods including but not limited to email, social media, messaging apps, text messages, and more.

‍

B. Eligible Referrer

To be "Eligible," a Referrer who is an individual must be (i) a legal resident of Canada, (ii) at least 18 years old and (iii) have an active Newton account which has been funded with at least $100.

‍

C. Making a Referral

A Referrer may find their referral link in their Newton account to make a referral. Referrers must respect the spirit of the Program by only referring real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions. Referrers cannot refer themselves and a Referrer may not create multiple or fake accounts with Newton or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.

‍

D. Qualified Referrals

A “Qualified Referral” means that all the following conditions are met:

The Friend had not previously had an account with Newton under any email address or alias;
The Friend is a) a legal resident of Canada and b) at least 18 years old;
The Friend deposits at least $100 into their account on the Newton platform;
The Friend must make a trade of at least $100 within 90 days after creating an account with Newton; and
Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Friend.

‍

E. Earning Rewards

Referrer shall receive one (1) reward (each, a “Reward”) in the form and value determined by Newton for each verified Qualified Referral generated by Referrer. Newton may, in its sole and absolute discretion, limit the maximum number of Rewards that may be earned by Referrer per calendar year for Qualified Referrals upon notice to the Referrer, following which, any additional or subsequent referrals made by a Referrer will not be considered Qualified Referrals and thus not be entitled to the Reward, unless otherwise allowed by Newton.

Initially, each Reward will be CAD $25 transferred to the Referrer’s Newton account; however, Newton reserves the right to pay or redeem Rewards in other forms, in Newton’s sole discretion. Restrictions may apply to certain forms of Rewards.

‍

F. Verified Qualified Referrals

Rewards are subject to verification. Newton may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. Newton may also refuse to verify and process any transaction Newton deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on Newton, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. All of Newton's decisions are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral, or Reward is verified.

‍

II. Privacy.

Referrers may participate in the Program made available by Newton in order to refer their Friends to Newton as potential new Newton customers. Any personal information collected by Newton will be collected, processed and used in accordance with Newton’s Privacy Statement, which can be found at /privacy.

D. Fraudulent and Suspicious Behavior

Newton may prohibit a Referrer from participating in the Program or receiving a Reward, in Newton’s sole discretion, if Newton determines that such Referrer is attempting to undermine the fairness, integrity or legitimate operation of the Program in any way by cheating, hacking, deception, or any other unfair playing practices of intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other Referrers or any representatives of Newton. Use of any affiliate website, affiliate network properties, automated systems, script, or macro to participate in the Program is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. Referrers may not enter with multiple or fake emails addresses or accounts, use fictitious identities or use any system, bot or other device or artifice to participate in the Program or receive a Reward. Newton reserves the right to disqualify any Referrer and/or cancel any Reward(s) if Newton finds a Referrer to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Program or violating these Terms and Conditions in any way. ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.
