PROGRAM OVERVIEW: The Vonage Business Referral Program (the “Referral Program” or the “Program”) is offered by Vonage Business Inc. (“Vonage”) and provides the opportunity to refer your friends, colleagues and associates to Vonage and receive compensation. You do not have to be a Vonage customer to participate in the Referral Program.

PROGRAM DETAILS: Vonage will award cash or a Vonage account credit (for current Vonage customers)(the “Reward”) to any Eligible Referrer (as defined below) who refers an Eligible New Customer (as defined below) in compliance with these Referral Program Rules (the “Rules”). Rewards will be calculated based on the Vonage Eligible Product(s) selected by the Eligible New Customer for activation or installation. The Reward will be issued to the Eligible Referrer following the third consecutive month for which Vonage receives full payment from the Eligible New Customer provided that the Eligible New Customer’s account has been active and in good standing for at least ninety (90) consecutive days. A W-9 tax form must be completed by the Eligible Referrer and submitted to Vonage within ninety (90) days of a referral becoming eligible for payment or the Reward shall be forfeited. The Program is valid only in the United States and Canada and cannot be combined with any other offers. Vonage reserves the right to add, modify and/or delete any Rewards and/or requirements to receive any Rewards. Vonage’s decision with respect to all aspects of the Referral Program is final and binding.

DEFINITION OF AN ELIGIBLE REFERRER: To qualify as an “Eligible Referrer”: (1)you must be: ((a) a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, who is 18 years of age or older; or (b) a business operating in the United States; and (2) for Vonage customers, your existing account(s) must be in good standing at the time of the referral. Franchisee locations (and/or similar parent/child business relationships) that are part of a larger agreement containing its own special discounted pricing shall be excluded from consideration as an “Eligible Referrer”.

Existing Vonage customers, as well as former Vonage customers and former Vonage Business customers, are prohibited from referring themselves. Vonage Partner Program participants are ineligible to receive a Reward pursuant to this Referral Program. Business owners, employees or agents are prohibited from referring their respective business(es) or employer(s) (or any affiliates thereof) and are ineligible to receive a Reward. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consultants, contractors and others who are not “employees” are eligible should they refer companies for which they are contracted to work. Vonage reserves the right to validate that the referrer is/was not an employee at the time of referral. Referrers cannot refer immediate family members living within the same household nor may they resell Vonage services, as doing so may result in immediate disqualification.

DEFINITION OF AN ELIGIBLE NEW CUSTOMER: An “Eligible New Customer” is an individual or business that (1) is not currently, and has never previously been, a Vonage customer; (2) is not already registered as a Vonage Business lead or contact in Vonage Business’ records; (3) signs up for Vonage Eligible Products while this Referral Program is still active; and (4) maintains an active Vonage account in good standing for at least ninety (90) days after activation of Eligible New Customer’s account in compliance with the relevant Terms of Service for Vonage Small Business and/or Vonage Mid-Market/Enterprise, as applicable. Former Vonage customers are prohibited from qualifying as an Eligible New Customer. Eligible Products shall be defined as Vonage Business services with one or more lines, hosted seats, unlimited/metered extensions or MUX (mobile unlimited extensions) priced at $13.99 or greater per line. For avoidance of doubt, lines, seats and/or extensions priced at less than $13.99 each (e.g., fax lines, Spamshield lines, etc.) shall be excluded from the definition of Eligible Products.

You agree not to abuse any Vonage resource, online registration mechanism or the tools in the Referral Website by conduct which is, or can be, interpreted to be detrimental to the brand, trademark or interests of Vonage, including without limitation, attempting to make referrals or receive rewards in a manner inconsistent with these Rules or the intent of these Rules, attempting to earn rewards through illegitimate channels, participating in fraud, or tampering with Referral Program or its tools.

HOW TO EARN REWARDS: Registration for the Referral Program can be made either: (a) at share.vonage.com (the “Referral Website”); or (b) via a Vonage Referral form.

Registration via the Referral Website (share.vonage.com) After you have completed the Referral Website registration process, you will have the option of making referrals by either: (a) submitting your referrals directly to Vonage via the form provided on the Referral Website, or (b) using the tools provided on the Referral Website to create a personal link that you can then share via social media. If a potential new Vonage customer clicks on your personal link and follows the instructions to sign up for a Vonage plan, and if that referred business ultimately qualifies as an Eligible New Customer, you may be eligible for a Reward subject to the eligibility guidelines and Program Rules.

Registration via the Vonage Referral form You may also make referrals by submitting your referrals directly to Vonage via the referral form provided by Vonage. For avoidance of doubt, sending mass email messages (to multiple recipients at the same time) is strictly prohibited.

Online Invitations to Potential Referrals

If you choose to invite businesses to sign up for Vonage via social media, then (1) you must include the personalized link provided to you from the Referral Website in your post, (2) you must state in your post that you are participating in this Referral Program and are eligible to receive Rewards, and (3) your post must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues, family members and business associates.

If you choose to share via email, a personalized link will be generated by the Referral Website, which you must use in your email message. Your email must expressly state that you are participating in this Program. Your email must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues and family members. Note: You can only refer any friend, colleague or family member via email one-time during any calendar year. Sending mass email messages (to multiple recipients at the same time), distribution to strangers, or any other promotion of a personal link in a manner that would constitute or appear to constitute unsolicited commercial email or “spam”, is expressly prohibited and may be (in Vonage’s sole discretion) grounds for termination from the Program. Moreover, you may not issue marketing communications regarding the Vonage products and services through any other online means, including texting, emails, on websites, or through any automated email, online or texting marketing method or program, or through telemarketing means, without Vonage’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Further, any invitation to a potential new Vonage customer must comply with all applicable laws including, but not limited to, CAN-SPAM.

Regardless of how the Referrer has registered to participate in the Referral Program, should an Eligible New Customer be referred by more than one Eligible Referrer, only the original Eligible Referrer validated by Vonage shall be entitled to be considered to receive all or any portion of the Reward. Referrals are considered active for two (2) years and shall expire after such time. If a prospective Vonage customer has neither activated nor installed Vonage products or services within two (2) years after the Eligible Referrer submits a referral, said referral shall expire and the requisite Eligible Referrer shall not be entitled to a Reward if the prospective Vonage customer subsequently purchases Vonage products or services.

REWARD ISSUANCE: The Reward will be issued in US Dollars to Eligible Referrers via a Visa gift card. Either a W-9 or W8-BEN form must be completed, submitted and approved for all Rewards and the W-9 or W8-BEN form must match the name of the reward recipient. If a valid and complete W-9 or W8-BEN form has not been received and approved within sixty (60) days of a referral becoming eligible for issuance, the Reward shall be deemed forfeited. In the event the Eligible Referrer’s account has a past due balance (in the case where the Eligible Referrer is a Vonage customer), Vonage may elect to offset the Reward against any such past due balance. In any case, Rewards are considered taxable income and are subject to local, state and federal taxes. If the Eligible Referrer is eligible to participate in a Rewards program, a 1099 tax form will be generated and mailed to you for tax reporting purposes. Vonage recommends that you keep all statements and documents for record keeping purposes. The reward will be issued up to ninety (90) days after a new customer has been deemed eligible under these Referral Program rules. The reward amount will be based on the number of active Eligible Products after the ninety (90) day eligibility time frame.
