Referral program terms

Who can invite

Any academy with an Acatudy account, including on the Free plan. Your link and code are in the Acatudy Credits section of your academy dashboard.

On the Free plan the credits you earn add up, but you need a paid plan to spend them.

Which academies count as invited

Only a NEW academy that has never paid for an Acatudy plan counts. It can enter your code when signing up or later in My subscription, always before its first payment. Once attributed, the invitation is permanent: it can't be moved to another inviting academy.

Self-invitations and invitations between linked accounts are not allowed:

• The invitation is rejected if the invited academy belongs to your own multi-academy account, has the same administrator or the same email as you, or signed up or paid from the same IP address as you (for IPv6, the same /64 network).
• It goes to manual review by Acatudy, which may approve or reject it, if it shares with you, or with another academy you invited, the email domain (except public email providers such as Gmail or Outlook) or the payment card.

How an invitation is attributed

• Invitation link: your permanent link, acatudy.com/r/CODE, with your 8-character code. When it's opened we store a first-party cookie for 60 days; if the person opens several invitation links, the last one wins.
• The “Did someone invite you?” field when creating an academy: a code entered there takes priority over the cookie.
• My subscription: the invited academy can also enter the code there as long as it hasn't made its first payment.

What the invited academy gets

30% off its first invoice for a paid plan, if it subscribes within 12 months of signing up with the code. On an annual plan, the discount is 30% of one month (the annual price divided by 12).

It can't be combined with other offers or promotion codes: the larger discount applies.

What you get: two rewards for each invited academy

For each invited academy that pays, you earn two rewards. Each one is half the full monthly price of the plan it subscribes to (in its currency and before discounts), in credits, rounded to the nearest ten credits, up to 500 credits per reward.

Example: an invited academy subscribes to the Pro plan at $75 a month. Half its price is $37.50, so each reward is 380 credits ($38). You receive 380 credits once it has made 2 monthly payments and another 380 once it has paid for 6 months. If it pays annually, it works the same way: the first reward when its annual payment passes 14 days without a refund or chargeback, and the second 6 months after the annual payment.

First reward

• Monthly plan: once the invited academy has made 2 real plan payments, counting the first one. An add-on paid by card for at least the monthly price of its plan also counts as a payment.
• Annual plan: once its annual payment passes 14 days without a refund or chargeback.
• If it cancels before that point, there is no reward at all.

Second reward

• Once the invited academy reaches 6 months of paid service: on a monthly plan, with its payment number 6; on an annual plan, 6 months after the annual payment.
• If they switch from monthly to annual or the other way round, the time covered by their real payments counts; the same period paid twice doesn't count twice, and if they leave the plan, time stops counting.
• If it leaves its paid plan before then, there is no second reward; the first one stays.

Which payments count

• A payment only counts if the amount actually paid, excluding taxes and not counting the invitation discount, is at least 50% of the monthly price of its plan. Any part paid with credits doesn't count as paid.
• An annual payment counts as many months as the whole monthly prices it covers (up to 12).
• Each payment waits 14 days (the withdrawal period) without a refund or chargeback before it counts.
• If what the invited academy actually pays in the payments that unlock a reward is less than its monthly fee (for example, because of another discount), that reward is reduced to 50% of what was paid; both rewards together, to 50% of everything paid in those payments.

Monthly cap

Each account can earn up to 1,500 credits a month. Anything above that isn't lost: it's added the following month.

Milestones

An invited academy counts toward milestones once its first reward has been unlocked. On top of each academy's rewards, you earn:

• +250 credits when you reach 3 invited academies that count.
• +1,000 credits when you reach 10 invited academies that count. Plus the “Acatudy Partner” badge.

Milestones also never exceed 50% of what those invited academies actually paid in the payments that unlock their rewards; any shortfall stays pending until it's covered.

How credits are used

• 1 credit is worth $0.10 in a dollar account or €0.10 in a euro account.
• Credits have no cash value, can't be transferred to another account and are non-refundable.
• They're spent on add-ons: one-time packs are paid in full with credits, and storage pack renewals up to 100%.
• And on your plan renewal invoices: up to 50% of each invoice. You can turn this off in Acatudy Credits with “Use my credits on my invoices”.
• You need a paid plan to spend them.
• They expire 12 months after they're granted. The oldest are spent first, and we email you 30 days before they expire.
• In an account with several academies, the balance belongs to the account (it's kept in the main academy) and only the owner can see it.

Refunds and chargebacks

If the invited academy requests a refund of a payment that counts, or there's a chargeback, pending credits are canceled and credits already granted are removed, even if you've already spent them. Your balance can go negative; it's offset by the next credits you earn. If it's the first invoice or the payment that unlocked the first reward, both rewards are removed and the invitation stops counting; if it's a payment that only unlocked the second, the second is removed. A chargeback on any other payment puts the invitation under review.

Fraud review

Acatudy may put an invitation under review, approve it or reject it. A rejected invitation doesn't count (not for milestones either) and the credits it generated are removed.

How you can share your link

Share your link with academies you know, on your website or on your social media. The following is not allowed:

• Sending spam or unsolicited bulk messages. Your messages must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and the GDPR.
• Impersonating Acatudy or implying that you speak on its behalf.
• Bidding on the “Acatudy” brand or its variations in search engine ads.

If these rules are broken, we reject the affected invitations and remove their credits.

While paid plans are on a waitlist

You can share your link, but no rewards are granted: nobody is paying yet.

Changes and end of the program

Acatudy may change, pause or end the program with prior notice. Credits already earned are honored until they expire, except in cases of fraud or removal due to a refund or chargeback.
