Care for Friends Program - Terms and Conditions

PLEASE NOTE THAT BOTH THE (1) TERMS AND CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW AND (2) CARE ACCESS PRIVACY POLICY APPLY TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CARE FOR FRIENDS REFERRAL PROGRAM.

Program Overview

The Care for Friends Referral Program (the “Program”) permits Referring Ambassadors to earn money (see Payment section below) by referring to Care Access Research LLC (“Care Access”) first time, new participants (“Potential Participants”) who provides informed consent to participate in a qualifying study or health screening program.

Any Care for Friends Ambassador may receive a payment under this program for referring a Potential Participant to Care Access, provided that the Potential Participant is not already in the Care Access participant database. The Care for Friends program is ongoing and there is no deadline for referrals. Care Access will select studies to be part of the Program, at its sole discretion.

To participate, Referring Ambassadors must agree to these Terms. The Program may not be combined with other Care Access referral programs or incentives.

Qualified Referrals

A “qualified referral” is defined as a referred participant who (1) clicks on an active referral link; (2) is new to Care Access (i.e. has never participated in a study); and (3) provides informed consent to participate in a qualifying study.

You agree to use reasonable efforts to educate Potential Participants on how to become a Care Access study participant, including but not limited to the following:

  • You may not represent yourself as an employee, intermediary or agent, or as being authorized to bind Care Access.
  • You may not create materials (including business cards, websites, or email addresses) bearing Care Access branding or that imply any affiliation or agency relationship between you and Care Access. However, you must state that you are a Care for Friends Ambassador who encourages people to qualify as Care Access study participants.
  • The Referring Ambassador may NOT register people into this program. The Potential Participant is the ONLY person permitted to register using the Referring Ambassador’s registration link. Failure of the Potential Participant to register appropriately will result in the referral payment being denied.
  • You agree that you will comply with all applicable laws.

Sharing Referral Links

1Referral links should not be published or distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends (such as coupon websites, Reddit, or Wikipedia).

You agree and represent that you will use referral methods and techniques that people will appreciate and that are legal. You agree and represent that you will always be mindful to respect the privacy of others (i.e. do not spam), be honest, open, and transparent about who you are and what you are offering (i.e. do not mislead).

A Potential Participant may use only one referral link. In the case a Potential Participant uses multiple Ambassador links, the referral payment will be paid to the Ambassador associated with the referral link used by the Potential Participant at the time of informed consent.

Ambassadors

You acknowledge and agree that it is a fundamental term and condition precedent of your participation in the Program that you are not an employee, intermediary or agent of Care Access, and you will not hold yourself out as, or give any person reason to believe, that you are an employee, intermediary or agent of Care Access. You agree nothing in your participation, or these Referral Terms, will be construed as establishing an employment or agency relationship between Care Access and you, or creates any employment, partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or sales representative relationship with Care Access or our affiliates.

Ambassadors shall not engage other third parties to perform Ambassador tasks for them. Ambassadors must transparently represent their relationship with Care Access and are not permitted to imply any affiliation with Care Access beyond their limited role as an Ambassador.

Payment and Taxes

Referring Ambassadors will receive payment of $25 USD for each qualified referral who meets Care for Friends eligibility criteria, up to a maximum 400 referrals, or $10,000 USD.

All Referred Participants must be new, first time Participants. Payouts will be made within 30 days of each qualified referral, to the payout mechanism you designate on your Care for Friends Ambassador application and/or referral portal. Whether a payment is due shall be a decision made at the sole discretion of Care Access.

Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from Referring Ambassadors (e.g. we must collect an IRS Form W-9 from U.S. persons who receive payment). Care Access will not withhold taxes from referral payments. Please note that after you earn $599 in a single calendar year, Care Access must send you IRS Form 1099 so that you may file it with your annual taxes. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete, and accurate, and for determining your applicable tax reporting requirements. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any taxes due by you. Please consult your tax advisor on how this Program may impact your tax situation because Care Access cannot and does not offer tax-related advice to you.

Care Access reserves the right to any remedy, including denial of payout, if fraud, tampering, or other violations of these Terms are suspected. You agree that you will not be eligible for payments if you are in breach of these Program Terms.

Modification

Care Access reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Program at any time by posting an update on this webpage. By continuing to refer Potential Participants, you agree that the Terms are acceptable to you and binding on you. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate your Program participation.

Termination

Care Access may terminate your participation in the Program at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. The rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
