Refer-a-Friend Program Terms and Conditions

Refer-a-Friend Program Terms and Conditions

Expedia, Inc. (d/b/a Expedia) (“we” or “Expedia”) is offering you the opportunity to refer friends via a Referral Program (the “Program”) offered on the mobile application located within Expedia Mobile App (the “App”).

  1. Binding Agreement. By using the App or participating in the Program, you are bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and indicate your agreement to them. Expedia’s decisions regarding the Program are final and binding.
  2. Privacy. The personal information collected, processed, and used as part of the Program will be used in accordance with Expedia’s Privacy Policy.
  3. How the Program Works. To participate in the Program and refer friends, you must be a legal resident of the participating country, be at least 18 years old, and have an Expedia.ca account. Next, you must visit the App and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members, or colleagues who have not previously have or had an Expedia.ca account. Once an individual makes a referral, he/she becomes a “Referrer” and will be provided with a unique referral link (“Personal Link”) that can be shared with referred friends (“Friends”). A Friend must create an Expedia.com account in order for the Friend to receive their reward. For the Referrer, the Friend must make a booking in the App and complete their travels in order for the Referrer to receive the rewards described below.
  4. Bulk Distribution (“Spam”). By communicating to Friends as part of the Program, the Referrer represents that he/she has the appropriate permission and consent to communicate with the Friend. Referrers must comply with applicable laws and avoid “spamming” others. Referrals must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues and family members. Bulk distribution, distribution to strangers, or any other use of the services described herein in a manner that is not promoted is expressly prohibited and may be grounds for immediate termination and further legal action. Expedia has no obligation to monitor the Program or any communications; however, Expedia may choose to do so and block any messages, reject messages to individuals who had previously opted-out of receiving commercial messages from Expedia, or prohibit any use of the Program. Referrers who do not comply with the law, including anti-spam laws, are obligated to indemnify the Program Entities against any liabilities, costs and expenses it incurs as a result of such spam.
  5. Referrers may not refer themselves or existing account holders or create multiple, fictitious, or fake accounts with Expedia or participate in the Program as “Friends.” Referrers may not 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. In addition, Referrers may not (a) tamper with the Program, (b) act in an unfair or disruptive manner, or (c) use any system, bot or other device or artifice to participate or receive any benefit in the Program. 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, EXPEDIA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEES) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. Employees of the Expedia are not able to participate.
  6. If you refer an eligible friend and your friend creates an account, makes a booking, and completes the travel you will receive a CAD 30 coupon (excluding taxes and fees) valid for a select hotel booking in the App. Your Friend will receive a coupon for CAD 30 off (excluding taxes and fees) of one qualifying hotel-only booking in the App when they join Expedia with a new account. The coupon may take up to 30 business days to arrive. You can earn a maximum of 10 reward coupons per year, and a Friend may only use one coupon, regardless of how many people refer him/her. Use of Expedia is subject to the Expedia Promotional Program Terms and Conditions. Rewards are subject to verification. Expedia may delay a reward for the purposes of investigating whether a Referrer or Friend has violated these Terms. Expedia will not honor any requests that do not comply with these Terms.
  7. Limitation of Liability. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE RELEASED PARTIES (DEFINED BELOW) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF EXPEDIA WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES). By participating in the Program, you agree to defend, indemnify, release, and hold harmless the Expedia, Inc., as the provider of the referral service, and their respective parent companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries, together with their respective employees, directors, officers, licensees, licensors, shareholders, attorneys, and agents including, without limitation, their respective advertising and promotion entities and any person or entity associated with the production, operation, or administration of the Program (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, actions, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses caused by, arising out of, in connection with, or related to the Program (including, without limitation, any property loss, damage, personal injury, or death caused to any person(s)) and/or the awarding, receipt and/or use or misuse of any benefit in the Program. To be clear, the Released Parties shall not be liable for any technical errors or malfunctions, data theft or corruption, any printing or typographical error, or any damage to any computer system resulting from participating in, or accessing or downloading information in connection with the Program. The Released Parties shall not be liable to any users for failure to supply any advertised benefit by reason of any acts of God, any action or request by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity (whether or not valid), or any other activity or action that is beyond any of the Released Parties’ control. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), WILL NOT EXCEED CAD 120.
  8. Disclaimer of Warranties. YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (A) THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND EXPEDIA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND TERMS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW OR CUSTOM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES AS TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) THE RELEASED PARTIES MAKE AND GIVE NO WARRANTY THAT (i) THE PROGRAM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) THE PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, AND (iii) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE PROGRAM WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, AND (C) ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE PROGRAM IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.
