POV — Referral Program Terms

Last Updated: May 16, 2026

These Referral Program Terms ("Program Terms") supplement the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings in the Terms of Service.

CEO approval: Draft for review. Do not use in broad marketing until the CEO approves reward amounts, eligibility geography, and credit expiration.

1. Program overview

The POV Referral Program ("Program") lets eligible users share a personal referral code. When a new user joins with that code and completes qualifying activity on the platform, the referrer may receive a cash reward and the referee (new user) may receive account credit toward their first bounty, as described below.

Current reward structure (subject to change with notice):

Party	Reward	Form
Referrer	$1.00 USD	Cash payout via Stripe Connect to a connected account, after the referee completes qualifying activity
Referee	$1.00 USD	Non-withdrawable credit applied to the referee's first eligible bounty payment (not cash)

We may change reward amounts, caps, or eligibility in our discretion. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "Last Updated" date and, where required, additional notice in the App.

2. Eligibility

To participate as a referrer or referee, you must:

Have an active POV account in good standing
Be at least 18 years old (same minimum age as the Service)
Comply with these Program Terms, the Terms of Service, and applicable law
Complete any steps we require for payouts (including Stripe Connect onboarding and identity/tax verification for referrers receiving cash)

One referral per referee. A user may enter a referral code only once, before or at first attribution. Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, and attempts to refer yourself are prohibited.

Geography. The Program may not be available in all jurisdictions. We may restrict participation where rewards, gaming laws, or payment rules make the Program unlawful or impractical. Void where prohibited.

3. How it works

3.1 Referral codes

Each eligible user may receive a unique referral code to share. You are responsible for how you share your code and for any claims you make about the Program.

3.2 Referee credit ($1 first-bounty credit)

When a new user successfully applies your code:

We record you as their referrer (first valid code only).
The referee receives $1.00 in first-bounty credit on their account. This credit is not cash, is not transferable, and may only reduce amounts the referee owes on an eligible bounty payment in the App.
Credit is applied according to our payment flows (e.g., at bounty capture/checkout). Unused credit may be forfeited if we introduce expiration rules—CEO to confirm whether credit expires and after what period.

3.3 Referrer reward ($1 cash)

After the referee completes qualifying activity (currently: earning on or paying for their first bounty on the platform), your pending reward becomes eligible for payout.

Payouts are sent via Stripe Connect to the bank account linked to your connected account.
You must complete Stripe Connect onboarding and maintain a valid connected account. We are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete onboarding, bank holds, or Stripe/processor rules.
Rewards are processed on a schedule we control (e.g., batch processing). Timing is not guaranteed.

If qualifying activity never occurs, no referrer cash reward is earned for that referee.

If you share your referral code publicly (social media, video, messaging, etc.), you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you may receive compensation when someone uses your code and qualifies—for example:

"I may earn $1 if you sign up with my POV code and complete a qualifying bounty."

Do not misstate the reward amount, timing, or likelihood of payment. Do not imply POV endorses your content unless we have a separate written agreement.

POV's marketing (app store, ads, official posts) will describe the Program accurately and will not use dark patterns to hide material terms.

5. Prohibited conduct

You may not:

Create fake accounts, use bots, or manipulate signups to generate rewards
Spam or harass people to use your code
Buy, sell, or trade referral codes or rewards
Misrepresent the Program, POV, or bounty payouts
Use the Program in violation of anti-spam, consumer protection, or gaming laws
Refer users you know are under 18 or ineligible

We may withhold, reverse, or claw back rewards, suspend Program participation, or terminate accounts if we suspect fraud or abuse.

6. Taxes

Referrers receiving cash may receive tax forms (e.g., IRS Form 1099-K or other forms) from Stripe or POV when required by law, based on payout volume and your tax status. You are responsible for your own tax obligations. Consult a tax professional.

Referee credit is a promotional account credit, not taxable income to POV in all cases; your tax treatment may vary—consult your advisor.

7. Privacy

We process referral relationships, codes, reward status, and payout data as described in our Privacy Policy. This includes sharing necessary data with Stripe for Connect transfers.

8. No employment or agency

Participation does not make you an employee, contractor, or agent of POV. You may not represent that you speak for POV when promoting your code unless authorized in writing.

9. Limitation of liability; changes; termination

THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POV DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR PROGRAM ERRORS, DELAYED PAYOUTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PROCESSOR FAILURES.

We may modify, suspend, or end the Program at any time. Unpaid eligible rewards at termination will be handled in our reasonable discretion and consistent with applicable law.
