POV — Referral Program Terms

Last Updated: July 17, 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 / board approval gate: These terms reflect the board-approved Option A reward structure (William, 2026-07-02). Do not use in broad marketing until the CEO/board signs off on final reward amounts, eligibility geography, and credit expiration. Public compensation claims about the Program are subject to that sign-off.

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, both the referrer and the referee (new user) may receive non-cash account credit as described below.

Current reward structure (subject to change with notice):

Party	Reward	Form
Referrer	$10.00 account credit	Non-cash. Applied to platform fees or the referrer's next bounty payment. Earned after the referee completes their first paid bounty of $25.00 or more.
Referee	$10.00 first-bounty credit	Non-cash, non-withdrawable. Reduces the amount the referee owes at checkout on their first eligible bounty payment.

Both rewards are account credit only. Neither reward is a cash payment, and neither is withdrawable, transferable, or redeemable for 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

Because both rewards are non-cash account credit, no payout-account setup, bank account, or identity/tax verification is required to earn or receive a referral reward. (Separate verification may still apply if and when you later withdraw bounty earnings, but that is not a condition of the referral reward itself.)

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 ($10 first-bounty credit)

When a new user successfully applies your code:

We record you as their referrer (first valid code only).
The referee receives $10.00 in first-bounty credit on their account. This credit is not cash, is not withdrawable, 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 on the referee's first eligible bounty). Unused credit may be forfeited if we introduce expiration rules — CEO/board to confirm whether credit expires and after what period.

3.3 Referrer reward ($10 account credit)

After the referee completes qualifying activity, your pending reward becomes eligible and is issued as account credit.

Qualifying activity (required): the referee completes their first paid bounty of $25.00 or more on the platform. A completed paid bounty below $25.00, an unpaid or cancelled bounty, or a bounty that is later refunded or reversed does not qualify.
When qualifying activity occurs, you receive $10.00 in POV account credit. This credit is not cash, is not withdrawable, and is not transferable. It is applied to POV platform fees you owe or to your next bounty payment in the App, according to our payment flows.
There is no cash payout for the referrer reward. You do not need a payout account, bank account, or tax verification to earn it.
Rewards are processed on a schedule we control (e.g., batch processing). Timing is not guaranteed.

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

3.4 Program application (prospective)

These Program Terms and the reward amounts above apply prospectively to referrals attributed on or after the Last Updated date. Any earlier communications describing different reward amounts or forms are superseded and are not honored under this Program. Questions about prior communications are handled by POV support on a case-by-case basis.

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:

"If you sign up with my POV code and complete a qualifying paid bounty, I may earn $10 in POV account credit (not cash)."

Do not misstate the reward amount, the form of the reward (it is non-cash account credit), the timing, or the 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 — including that rewards are non-cash account credit — 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

Referral rewards are non-cash promotional account credit, not cash payouts. Because the referrer reward is issued as promotional account credit (not a cash payout), it is not reported on IRS Form 1099-K as a marketplace payout, and no payout-account setup or tax onboarding is required to receive it.

Promotional credit may nonetheless have tax consequences depending on your circumstances and jurisdiction. You are responsible for your own tax obligations. POV does not provide tax advice — consult a tax professional.

Separately, if you withdraw bounty earnings from POV, those cash payouts remain subject to the applicable payout, verification, and tax-reporting rules described in the Terms of Service; those rules are independent of the referral reward.

7. Privacy

We process referral relationships, codes, reward status, and credit balances as described in our Privacy Policy. Because referral rewards are account credit rather than cash transfers, we do not share referral-reward data with any payment processor for payout of the reward. Standard bounty payment and withdrawal flows are governed separately by the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

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 CREDITS, OR CREDIT-APPLICATION FAILURES.

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