Terms and Conditions

Ancestry.com DNA, LLC ("we" or "AncestryDNA") may, from time to time, offer users of the AncestryDNA service ("Service") the opportunity to refer friends to purchase an AncestryDNA test kit and offer rewards in connection with acceptance of the referrals subject to these terms and conditions (the "AncestryDNA Referral Program" or "Program"). Users of the Program who refer friends are called "Referrers". Individuals who receive a referral are called "Referred Customers." By participating in the Program, either as a Referrer or as a Referred Customer, you agree to use the Program in the manner specified in these Terms and Conditions (these "Terms") and are bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety you are not authorized to participate in the Program in any manner. You may not participate in the Program where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.

We reserve the right at any time and at our sole discretion to (A) terminate the Program; (B) modify or amend these Terms including the methods through which rewards are earned; and (C) disqualify you from participation in the Program.

1. PRIVACY.

In order to make referrals, you must submit personal information about yourself and any person you refer, such as name and e-mail address, as well as any information you choose to include in your message to such person, so that an email referral can be sent on your behalf. The personal information will be collected, processed and used in accordance with the AncestryDNA Privacy Statement, which can be found at http://dna.ancestry.com/legal/privacyStatement. In addition, personal information may be used by AncestryDNA to contact you with regard to the Program and you agree to receive email from AncestryDNA. You may unsubscribe from receiving emails for the Refer-a-Friend program at any time, using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email received.

2. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS.

To participate, click on the "Refer" button from the AncestryDNA website at refer.dna.ancestry.com (you must be logged in to your account) and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family or colleagues to the Service by entering their names and email addresses in the "Refer A Friend" box. When you refer a friend, you will be provided with a unique referral link ("Personal Link") that allows you to receive rewards for Qualified Referrals (see below) if you are fully compliant with these Terms. Referrer receives one (1) reward valued at ten US dollars (US $10) in the form of a $10 Amazon Gift Card (or e-certificate) for each verified Qualified Referral generated by Referrer. Referrers may refer a maximum of fifty (50) Referred Customers during the Program and may not earn more than five hundred dollars (US $500) in this Program. You will receive an email with your reward approximately 30-45 days after the Referred Customer completes their purchase of the AncestryDNA test kit. Once you become a Referrer, you may receive emails showing the status of your referrals.

A "Qualified Referral" means that all these conditions are met:

• Both the Referrer and the Referred Customer are (A) at least 18 years old; (B) separate individuals who are legal residents of the United States of America; and (C) NOT an employee of AncestryDNA or Extole, Inc. (the administrator of the Program; hereafter the "Program Provider"), or any of their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies. Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Referred Customer. If a Referred Customer purchases more than one AncestryDNA test kit using your Personal Link, the Referrer will only get credit for one (1) Qualified Referral. Any additional or subsequent purchases made by a Referred Customer will not be Qualified Referrals for the Referrer or any other Referrer.
• The Referrer disclosed to the Referred Customer that Referrer is eligible for a reward if they purchase an AncestryDNA test kit using the Referrer's Personal Link. If the Referrer does not clearly state this, it is a violation of these Terms and may result in the Referrer's immediate disqualification from the Program and forfeiture of any reward owed to the Referrer as a result of Referrer's participation in the Program.
• The Referred Customer completed the purchase of at least one (1) AncestryDNA test kit using the Referrer's Personal Link within 12 months of receiving Referrer’s Personal Link. If a Referred Customer purchases an AncestryDNA test kit using any other link or method, or purchases an Ancestry DNA test more than 12 months after receiving Referrer’s Personal Link, the purchase will not qualify as a Qualified Referral and the Referrer will not earn a Reward.
• The Referred Customer did not cancel the order and is shipped a test kit from AncestryDNA; and The referral and purchase are made in compliance with these Terms and applicable law.

All referrals and rewards are subject to verification in AncestryDNA's sole discretion. AncestryDNA's decisions with regard to the Program are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral is verified. AncestryDNA may delay a reward for verification. AncestryDNA may also refuse to verify and process any transaction we deem, in our sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms, or believe will impose potential liability on AncestryDNA, its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. For example, you may not create multiple or fake accounts with AncestryDNA or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.
