These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between ADP, Inc. ("ADP"), on behalf of its Small Business Services line of business ("SBS"), and You and apply to the ADP Online Client Appreciation program (the "Program") described in these Terms. By enrolling in or using the Program, You agree to be bound by these Terms, including any modifications and/or updates made by ADP from time to time and posted on any applicable web site, as they relate to the Program. If You do not agree to these Terms or any updates, do not enroll in or use the Program. "You" and "Your" means You, Your company, Your employees, Your subsidiaries, Your affiliates and Your agents whom You have enrolled as "users" of the Program, all of which agree to be bound by these Terms, any applicable additional terms, updates, policies and any other terms and guidelines found throughout the Program.

1. THE PROGRAM AND REFERRAL ACTIVITIES. The Program is designed to enable ADP's SBS clients that are processing payroll using ADP's RUN Powered by ADP® ("RUN") payroll processing platforms, to refer other RUN clients to ADP and receive the rewards set forth herein for such referrals. The Program consists of the ability by SBS clients to access the ADP client referral rewards web site currently located at www.adpreferralrewards.com, or such other address as ADP may determine from time to time, hosted by ADP or its third party vendor ("Rewards Site"), enroll in the Program, accept these Terms, either upon registration through the Rewards Site, or when otherwise prompted to accept these Program Terms, and make referrals to ADP and, in exchange for referrals that become new ADP Clients (as defined below) under and pursuant to these Terms, receive the rewards set forth herein. ADP is willing to perform the RUN payroll and payroll related tax filing data processing services (the "Services") for businesses referred to ADP by You that wish to receive any or all of such Services ("Prospects") and that sign ADP's standard forms of agreement and meet ADP's eligibility requirements covering such RUN Services (the "Clients"). In exchange for Your referrals, ADP shall, for each eligible Prospect referred to ADP under this Program that becomes an ADP RUN Client and begins processing Services with ADP and continues processing for thirty (30) consecutive days, award You the credit or reward (“Reward”) under the Program as set forth herein, and/or free payroll, as applicable, for as long as You remain a RUN client of ADP and process payroll which results in an invoice to You. If You are new to the Program or are re-enrolling in the Program, You will not be fully enrolled in the Program or begin receiving any rewards or credits until ADP acknowledges Your agreement to these Terms by sending You an electronic acknowledgment by e-mail confirming Your enrollment. You agree that You will provide a fully-completed and signed W9 form to ADP upon request which You acknowledge may be a pre-condition to receiving payments.

2. REWARDS AND/OR FREE PAYROLL. You will be awarded Rewards and/or free payroll as set forth below for each eligible RUN Client that You refer that starts processing Services with ADP during each twelve-month period of this Agreement during the Term (as defined below in Section 5) starting with and as measured by Your enrollment date ("Annual Period"). Referred Clients must each complete thirty (30) consecutive days of processing Services with ADP to qualify toward the Reward or free payroll. Rewards and free payroll will be awarded as follows:

 

• For each new referred Client that starts processing up to the first two (2) - 100 Reward points each;
• For 3 Clients - Free payroll processing for one year as set forth below to a maximum credit of $2,500;
• For each referred Client after the 3rd that starts processing during any Annual Period - $100 Reward points each.

 

Each Reward point shall be equal to $1.00 / point rewarded. Points shall accumulate in a rewards bank and shall be accessible and redeemable at the web site of ADP’s rewards redemption vendor (“Rewards Redemption Vendor”), and shall be issued as either a virtual or hard copy prepaid card, or such other merchant card as may be selected by You from available options at the Rewards Redemption Vendor’s website (“Rewards Website”). The Rewards Website shall be hosted and managed by ADP’s third party Rewards Redemption Vendor whose terms and conditions will apply, including with respect to the card issuance and redemption options. By using the Rewards Redemption Website, agreeing to receive or receiving any cards or other rewards accessible through the Program or the Rewards Redemption Website, You acknowledge and are agreeing that ADP may share Your information with ADP’s third party Vendors that administer or are involved with the Program and/or any card issuers that provide cards through the Program, including personal information of Yours. You also agree that such third party Vendor’s and card issuers may have terms, verification processes and procedures to which You may be subject in order to participate and with respect to which ADP may be required to share Your information, which shall include any identification verification or data. You further agree that ADP shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to such Vendors, sites, cards, card issuers or any rewards options available at the Rewards Website. You also acknowledge and agree that use of the Rewards Website and/or participation by You in this Program shall constitute Your express authorization for ADP to share Your information, including personal information, as may be required for You to access the Rewards Website and redeem points awarded to You under the Program. You also agree to provide and be responsible for any information as may be requested by the Rewards Redemption Vendor or its agents in order for the Rewards Redemption Vendor to fulfill its obligations under the Program or issue any cards and You acknowledge that Your failure to do so may result in cards being declined, suspended or cancelled or Your account being unavailable or inactivated. You also agree that You will be responsible for any email or physical shipment addresses You provide if different than the addresses You provided to ADP upon enrollment or thereafter.

You represent and warrant that the Card Program hereunder does not constitute payment of “commissions” or “compensation” to You or Your employees, and is therefore not subject to regulation under Regulation E of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and its Official Staff Commentary as issued August 24, 2006. You acknowledge and agree that violation of the preceding representation and warranty entitles ADP or the issuer of the card to terminate Your participation in the Program and issuance of any Rewards may be suspended.

Free payroll for the referral of three (3) Clients will be applied to Your future payroll processing invoices as set forth below.

For the sake of clarity, You shall only be entitled to one free year of payroll for achieving a minimum of three (3) referrals during any Annual Period during the Term and each Annual Period under the Term shall begin anew so that any referrals made by You in any previous Annual Period during the Term shall not be carried over into the following Annual Period. To count as a referral toward any Annual Period all referred Clients must have started processing payroll with ADP within the Annual Period in which they were referred. Free payroll for the referral of 3 or more Clients in any Annual Period as set forth above will apply to You if You are enrolled in the Program and are processing payroll on RUN and refer a minimum of 3 Clients under the Program, each of which meet the 30-day processing requirement. Free payroll will be given after the third referred Client meets the 30-day processing requirement and will apply to all features of standard payroll processing invoiced on Your regular processing cycle including all recurring processing fees (including recurring "per employee" fees) chargeable to You for payroll services based upon ADP’s standard book pricing for the payroll services and billed to You for the applicable twelve month period beginning with the first eligible invoice for payroll service(s), excluding, without limitation, therefrom: (i) any discount applied to invoiced fees and any fees derived from set up, training, shipping, delivery and installation (except that any delivery charges that are included in Your standard RUN payroll services bundle will be included as part of Your free payroll), custom programming, the sale, rental or leasing of equipment or software, maintenance, or the provision by ADP of checks, forms or other supplies, (ii) any fees derived from Client conversion, consulting services, official bank checks, W 2 forms, or tax or special one time reports, (iii) sales, service or excise taxes, (iv) third party pass through charges, (v) fees derived from an ADP product or service that is not a payroll processing or tax filing service (e.g., non-payroll processing aspects of employee leasing services, benefit administration services, retirement services and insurances services), whether offered as ancillary services to the payroll and tax filing services or combined with such services into an integrated offering, (vi) any portion of fees representing, or reimbursing ADP for, the amount of employee wages paid in ADP's employee leasing/professional employer organization business and (vii) ADP products or services not in existence on the date hereof. In no event will credits or free payroll exceed fees paid or payable. In the event You have received any credits toward future payroll under these terms and You terminate Your payroll services with ADP prior to such credits having been applied toward eligible payroll services, You shall be required to immediately return the amount of any credits You have received that exceed any fees due from You to ADP for the services against which the credits were eligible.

In order to receive ANY Rewards or free payroll under the Program, all sales to Clients need to have been made as a direct result of Your direct "Involvement and/or Referral" (as defined below) and each referral must be accompanied by Your unique Partner Identification Code (PIC) assigned to You by ADP for appropriate tracking and points calculation. For purposes of the Program and these Terms, Your "Involvement and/or Referral" shall mean, with respect to a sale of any Services, that: (i) the initial contact regarding the sale of the Services to a Prospect was made by an authorized employee of Yours or as a result of a specific referral of the Services to such Prospect by Your authorized employee or (ii) Your referral under the Program resulted in an appointment with the Prospect by an ADP sales representative, or (iii) an ADP sales representative requested that Your personnel meet with one of Your Prospects to assist in closing a sale at any time prior to completion of a sale of the Services and Your personnel complied with such a request.

Free payroll due to You for referrals in accordance with these Terms will be credited and applied against Your payroll processing invoice(s) at the end of the ADP fiscal month close following the fiscal month the referred Client(s) completes processing Services with ADP for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days. All other Rewards earned under the Program will be issued in the form of a prepaid card which may be hard copy or digital and which may require that You log into a third party web site to redeem. You acknowledge and agree that third party Vendor and/or card issuer fees and terms may apply which may impact Your Reward amount. Neither ADP nor its third party Vendor is responsible for any lost, stolen or expired cards or rewards. Notification of Rewards may be by email to the email address provided by You upon enrollment, or such other updated email address provided by You. Rewards will be issued to the person who enrolled in the Program on Your behalf, or such other person as may be designated by You, regardless of who provided the referral, and will be sent, if by email, to the email address provided upon enrollment, or such updated email address provided, or to a physical address in the United States if such option is provided and selected, and that person will be responsible for disbursing and/or allocating the Reward on Your behalf in accordance with Your instructions. Rewards will be issued in the month following the month in which the referred Client completes processing the Services with ADP for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days. You will receive Rewards for new Clients only and in no event will You be awarded any Rewards for an existing ADP Client or for Clients referred by a third party prior to receipt by ADP of a referral from You. In no event will you be awarded any credit or Reward for an ADP Client following the termination of ADP's Services by a Client referred by You under this Agreement prior to the completion by the referred Client of thirty (30) consecutive days of processing payroll with ADP. In the event You terminate processing Your payroll with ADP, any credits, Rewards or free payroll You are due under the Program shall be relinquished and You shall not be entitled to any Rewards or payments for any credit balances or free payroll due to You at the time of termination. Rewards under the Program are not transferrable including to any company with which You have common ownership or with which You are or may be affiliated and may be subject to applicable expiration or time limits for redemption or use.

You shall not receive credit or Rewards for any Client for which You have common ownership or for which You have been previously paid through any other ADP agreement, or any other third party has been or will be paid by ADP for such Client, including revenue sharing, acquisition or wholesale agreements, and You understand that You are not eligible to participate in this Program if You are enrolled in any other referral program or being paid under any other such agreement, with ADP.
