Refer-a-Friend Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: March 24, 2021
Vera Bradley (“we”, “Vera Bradley” or “Company”) is offering you the opportunity to refer friends via a Referral Program (“Program”) offered on the web site located at refer.verabradley.com (the “Site”).
1. Binding Agreement. By using the Site or participating in the Program, you are bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and indicate your agreement to them. All of the Company's decisions are final and binding.
2. Privacy. The personal information collected, processed and used as part of the Program will be used in accordance with Company’s Privacy Statement, which is available by link on the Site. Consistent with that Privacy Statement, an individual will not be subscribed to Company emails simply because of receipt of a referral email through the Program.
3. Program and Eligibility. To participate, visit refer.verabradley.com and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues to Vera Bradley by entering their names and email addresses in the “Refer A Friend” box. Users may refer a maximum of twenty-five (25) friends, family members or colleagues during the Program. Users who refer are called “Referrers.” Individuals who receive a referral are called “Referred Customers.” An eligible Referrer who is fully compliant with these Terms and Conditions may receive “Reward(s)” for every “Qualified Referral”. To be “eligible,” a Referrer must: 1) be a legal resident of the United State of America, and 2) be at least 18 years old. Employees of the Company, its Service Provider or any of its or their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies, including immediate family and household members, are not eligible.
4. Making a Referral. 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. Referrers must respect the spirit of the Program by only referring real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions. Referrers cannot refer themselves. For example, a Referrer may not create multiple or fake accounts with Vera Bradley or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.
5. Qualified Referrals. A Qualified Referral means that all the following conditions are met: 1) The Referred Customer purchases on verabradley.com using the Referrer’s “Personal Link.” If a Referred Customer purchases using any other link or method, the registration will not count as a Qualified Referral and the Referrer will not earn Credit; 2) The Referred Customer had not previously purchased with us under any email address or alias; 3) The Referred Customer is a) a legal resident of the United State of America and b) at least 18 years old at the time of referral; and 4) Only one Qualified Referral can be earned for each Referred Customer up to a maximum of fifteen (15) Referred Customers during a twelve-month period. Referrers will receive an email with a coupon for 20% off a $100 purchase to use at verabradley.com. Credit can only be awarded for Qualified Referrals.
6. Rewards. Referrer shall receive one (1) Reward valued at 20% off a $100 purchase (some exclusions apply) and your Friend, the Referred Customer, will receive 20% off a purchase of $100 or more (some exclusions apply) for each verified Qualified Referral generated by Referrer. A Referrer may not earn more than 15 Qualified Referrals per calendar year. Rewards may be redeemed at verabradley.com and not combined with any other discount or promotion. Rewards are subject to verification. The Company may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. They may also refuse to verify and process any transaction Company deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. All of the Company’s decisions are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral, Credit or Reward is verified.
7. Restrictions. Referrers cannot refer themselves or create multiple, fictitious or fake accounts with the Company or participate in the Program as “Friends”. No user may use the Program to violate any law, infringe or violate the rights of any third party, or otherwise act in a manner that is deemed harassing, harmful, illegal, hateful, obscene or outside the spirit and intent of the Program. Credit and Rewards may not be redeemed for cash. Credit and Rewards are not transferrable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the Program or any portion thereof for any reason, or upon cancellation of a Referrer’s Ultimate Rewards account for any reason, any unredeemed Credit and Rewards accumulated by the Referrer is forfeited. In addition, you may not (i) tamper with the Program, (ii) act in an unfair or disruptive manner, or (iii) use any system, bot or other device or artifice to participate or receive any benefit in the Program. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEES) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

The Company has no obligation to monitor the Program or any communications; however, the Company may choose to do so and block any email messages, remove any such content, or prohibit any use of the Program. In accordance with anti-spam laws, the Company will verify prior to any email distribution that a Referred Customer has not unsubscribed from communications from the Company, and will provide the Referred Customer with the option to opt-out of receiving future email communications from the Company.
