ELIGIBILITY
VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
To be eligible, participants must have received this offer through ACS.
Referee – The Referee is any person who decides to provide the First Name, Last Name, Company, Email Address and Phone Number of any number of Associates. To be eligible, the Referee must enter at least one Associate with all the contact information mentioned in the previous sentence.
Associate – The Associate is anyone who receives an email directly from ACS who has been referred via the ACS Referral Program web page. For the Referee to be eligible for the reward, the Associate must not already be a client of ACS and purchase and pay for a software product offered by ACS.
No referral fee will be paid to a Referee for a referral of any Associate who is employed by the same company or subsidiary as the Referee. Such a payment could be misconstrued by
management or others within that organization.
REWARD INFORMATION
Each Referee who provides us with the contact information of an Associate which results in a closed deal of any software product will receive a referral fee based on the reward schedule. The credit paperwork will be initiated no earlier than 30 days from the date ACS receives payment for the purchase from the Associate.
The reward will be delivered via United States Postal Service no earlier than 30 days after ACS receives payment for the purchase from the Associate.
In the event of a dispute regarding who submitted an on-line entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail account. If a selected winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim a reward, or fails to provide any required paperwork no reward will be issued. If winner is not of age of majority in state of residence, prize will be awarded in name of parent or guardian and parent or guardian may be required to sign Required Agreements.
All of your entries will be disqualified, at the sole discretion of ACS, if you attempt (i) to enter the Program through any means other than through the Web Page (ii) to disrupt the program or circumvent the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, (iii) to use false or fraudulent information to enter the Program. If any of the above occurs, ACS has the right to remedy any such action, disruption, or circumvention in a manner to be solely determined by ACS.
Due to IRS regulations any payment of $600 or more in a single calendar year, to a single individual, will require ACS to obtain appropriate identification to enable a Form 1099 to be issued at the end of that year to that individual. Such identification must be provided to ACS before any payment will be made that would cause the total paid to an individual to be equal to, or exceed, $600.
