PODS Referral Program Terms of Use
Last Updated: May 3, 2023
PODS Enterprises, LLC (“PODS”) may, from time to time, offer the opportunity to refer friends to use PODS ("PODS Referral Program"). We reserve the right to terminate the PODS Referral Program at any time for any reason without notice. Participation in the PODS Referral Program is at all times subject to your compliance with the PODS terms and conditions and the following terms.
PODS Referral Program Participation, Generally
To participate, you must follow the instructions herein to refer friends, family members or colleagues to the PODS Referral Program. Individuals who submit referrals are called "Referrers." Individuals who receive a referral are called "Referred Customers”. Referrers and Referred Customers who are fully compliant with these terms of use will each earn the “Benefit” associated with the PODS Referral Program.
Eligible Referrer
The PODS Referral Program is open to legal United States residents residing in the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States, Hawaii and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older. Officers, directors, managers and employees of PODS Enterprises, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and related companies, advertising and promotion agencies, consultants and agents, as well the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such person, any others engaged in the development, production, execution or distribution of the PODS Referral Program are not eligible to participate. The PODS Referral Program is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations, is void outside the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States, Hawaii, the District of Columbia and where restricted or prohibited by law. By submitting a referral, Referrers unconditionally accept and agree to comply with, and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of PODS, which shall be binding in all respects.
Making and Receiving a Referral
To make a referral, you must provide PODS with the first name and email address of the Referred Customer you are referring to PODS through the following “Submission Routes”:
1) the in-email form sent by PODS;
2) the PODS Referral Program submission page; or
3) by clicking the Tap-to-Text feature provided in the emails sent by PODS promoting the PODS Referral Program.
The Tap-to-Text feature will place the responsibility on the Referred Customer to provide their name and email address through the PODS Referral Program submission page. The Referred Customer must submit the email address of the person who referred them to PODS. If the Referred Customer does not fill in the “Your Friend’s Email” field, the Referrer will not receive the Benefit. The ways in which to make a referral are subject to how the Email Service Providers interpret HTML code.
Referred Customers may receive a text message from an Eligible Referrer prompting them to submit their name and email address to PODS through the PODS Referral Program submission page. Once the Eligible Referrer has provided PODS with the Referred Customer’s name and email address or the Referred Customer has submitted their own name and email address, the Referred Customer will receive an email notifying them that they have been referred to PODS. The Referred Customer must book and complete an Initial Delivery with PODS for the Referrer and the Referred Customer to receive the Benefit of the PODS Referral Program.
You cannot refer yourself or anyone with the same delivery address as you. You may not create multiple orders with PODS and refer yourself with a secondary email or participate in the PODS Referral Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.
If a Referred Customer is referred to the PODS Referral Program by multiple Referrers, PODS will attribute the Referred Customer’s completed order to the Referrer who submitted the first referral. There can only be one “Qualified Referral” per Referred Customer.
Qualified Referrals
A Qualified Referral means that all the following conditions are met:
1) The Referred Customer booked a container with PODS and has completed an Initial Delivery. If the Referred Customer completes an Initial Delivery without PODS receiving a submission into the PODS Referral Program through any of the Submission Routes by either the Referrer or the Referred Customer, the order associated with the Referred Customer will not count as a Qualified Referral, and neither party will earn a Benefit;
2) The Referred Customer must submit their order after they have been referred by an Eligible Referrer. If a customer is referred to PODS after they have already submitted an order or completed their first delivery, they cannot be eligible for a reward;
3) The Referred Customer is at least 18 years old; and
4) Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Referred Customer
Earning A PODS Referral Program Benefit
Eligible Referrers will receive one (1) Amazon.com Gift Card* valued at $100 for every Qualified Referral accepted.
Referred Customers will receive one (1) Amazon.com Gift Card* valued at $100 once the initial Referral becomes a Qualified Referral according to the terms set forth herein.
*Restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal
All Referrals are subject to verification. PODS may delay issuing a Benefit for the purposes of investigation. PODS holds the right to refuse your reward if through the verification process it has been discovered that you have broken the terms set forth herein. PODS may also refuse to verify and process any transaction PODS deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these terms of use, or believes will impose potential liability on PODS, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents.
Once a Referral has been verified, an Amazon.com Gift Card valued at $100 will be sent within the first seven days of the month following the Referred Customer’s Initial Delivery. The Amazon.com Gift Card will be sent to the email addresses provided to PODS by the Referrer and the Referred Customer upon initial Referral. The Referred Customer must complete an order with the email address that was submitted with the Referral to qualify both the Referrer and the Referred Customer for the Benefit.
