2. How the Program Works.

Program Participation To participate in the Program, visit refer.23andme.com in the United States ("US") or refer.23andme.ca in Canada, and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues to the Service by entering their email addresses in the "Refer A Friend" box. In the US and in Canada, Users may refer an unlimited number of friends, family members or colleagues during the Program. Individuals who refer are called "Referrers." Individuals who receive such referral are called "Referred Customers." "User" means any person using the Program and includes, without limitation, Referrers and Referred Customers.

Eligible Referrer To be eligible, a Referrer must: be a legal resident of the US or Canada and be at least 18 years old. Employees of the Company, Service Provider or any of its or their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies, including immediate family and household members, are not eligible to participate in the Program. Healthcare professionals also are not eligible to participate in the Program.

Eligible Referred Customers In Canada, Referred Customers must have a personal or family relationship with Referrer. A "personal relationship" means the Referrer's friends and colleagues who the Referrer knows well and with whom the Referrer has had interactive, direct, voluntary communications. A "family relationship" means the Referrer's relative through marriage, common-law partnership or any legal parent-child relationship and with whom the Referrer is in contact. In Canada, Referrers are prohibited from sending invitations or referral messages through the Program to any individual with whom they do not have a personal or family relationship. If it is determined that a Referred Customer does not have a personal or family relationship with Referrer, Referrer shall not be eligible for any credits and, at 23andMe's discretion, may be required to refund all credits issued to Referrer.

Making a Referral An individual must register for the Program to make a referral; no purchase is required. Once an individual refers a friend, family member or colleague, he/she becomes a Referrer and will be provided with a unique referral link ("Personal Link") that allows the Referrer to receive credit for Qualified Referrals ("Credit"). Personal Links will be issued only to individuals. Each Referrer will also be provided with a unique and personal Company "Refer-a-Friend" page or account to view the status of his/her Qualified Referrals and manage his/her account. Referrers must respect the spirit of the Program by only referring individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms. Referrers cannot refer themselves. Referrers shall not create multiple or fake accounts with the Company or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.

Qualified Referrals A Qualified Referral means that all the following conditions are met:

  • The Referred Customer completed the purchase process with the Service using the Referrer's Personal Link. If a Referred Customer purchases or registers with the Service using any other link or method, the registration will not count as a Qualified Referral and the Referrer will not earn Credit;
  • The Referred Customer was not previously registered with the Service under Referred Enrollee’s email address or alias;
  • The Referred Customer is a) a legal resident of the United States orCanada and b) at least 18 years old; and
  • The Referred Customer does not cancel the order and is shipped a kit from the Company.
Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Referred Customer during the Program term. Any additional or subsequent purchases made by a Referred Customer will not be Qualified Referrals. The purchases made by a Referred Customer must be made within the country of the referral program in which the Referrer is participating. The purchases made by a Referred Customer must be of a Health + Ancestry Personal Genetic Service kit or a Ancestry + Traits Personal Genetic Service kit. Other 23andMe purchases will not be considered Qualified Referrals. Credit for Qualified Referrals Credit can only be awarded for Qualified Referrals.

Earning Rewards Referrer, based on the Referrer’s country of residence, shall receive the following Reward for each Qualified Referral, regardless of the number of kits or purchases made by the Referred Customer, unless otherwise specified below:
  • In the US, for a referral of a Health + Ancestry Personal Genetic Service, Reward valued at twenty dollars (US$20);.
  • In the US, for a referral of an Ancestry + Traits Personal Genetic Service, Reward valued at ten dollars (US$10);.
  • In Canada, Reward valued at twenty dollars (CAD$20);.
  • At the Company's sole discretion, Reward denomination may be different during special promotional periods.
In Canada, the Referrer can earn up to a maximum of 10 rewards within a 90-day period. Rewards may be redeemed in various forms in the Company's sole discretion. Check your 23andMe Refer-a-Friend account for details. Additional restrictions may apply. For example, if the Reward is in the form of a gift card, gift certificate or voucher, it may be subject to the issuer's terms and conditions.

Referred Friends and Family Discount Referred friends and family will receive 10% off any kit purchased using the referral link, unless a higher offer is available on 23andme.com, in which case the higher discount will apply.

9. General Terms These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Users and the Company concerning Users' participation in or use of the Program. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. A person who is not a party to these Terms shall have no right to enforce or receive the benefit of any of these Terms. Participation in the Program does not constitute an employment, broker or agency relationship between User and Company nor does it create any partnership, joint venture, franchise or sales representative relationship between the parties.
