Referral Rebate Program Terms & Conditions

1. PROGRAM OVERVIEW

AI on the Lot LLC (“Organizer”) offers registered attendees the opportunity to earn a rebate toward their own registration fee by referring new ticket purchasers. Referred attendees who purchase through a referral link receive a 10% discount off their ticket price at checkout. This Program is a rebate mechanism only — it does not constitute a commission arrangement, affiliate program, or income-generating opportunity. Rebates are capped at 100% of the referring attendee’s own registration fee paid and cannot exceed that amount under any circumstances.

2. ELIGIBILITY

To participate in the Program, you must:

Hold a valid, paid or complimentary registration for the applicable Event at the time of referral and at the time of payout; and

Be in full compliance with the Event Terms & Conditions and these Referral Terms; and

Be a natural person (entities, bots, and automated systems are not eligible).

The following categories of registrants are eligible to participate in the Program and may share their referral link, but will not earn any rebate credits: attendees who registered with a complimentary or $0 ticket, speaker registrants, and sponsor registrants. As rebates are calculated as a percentage of your own registration fee paid, a $0 registration fee results in $0 rebate eligibility. Referred attendees who purchase via such a link will still receive the 10% referred attendee discount.

3. REFERRAL LINKS

Upon completing a qualifying registration, eligible attendees will receive a unique personal referral link (“Referral Link”) via email. Your Referral Link is personal to you and may not be sold, transferred, or publicly posted in a manner that constitutes spam or violates any platform’s terms of service. Each Referral Link is associated with a dynamically generated personalized preview image for social sharing purposes; this image is provided as a convenience and the Organizer makes no guarantee of its display across all platforms or devices.

4. HOW REBATES ARE EARNED

For each new attendee who completes a paid ticket purchase via your Referral Link, you will earn a rebate equal to 10% of your own registration fee paid.

Rebates accrue per qualifying referral, up to a maximum of 10 qualifying referrals and a maximum total rebate of 100% of your own registration fee paid.

Rebates are calculated based on your own ticket price paid (net of any discounts applied at the time of your purchase), not the referred attendee’s ticket price.

The referred attendee’s 10% checkout discount (see Section 5) does not affect your rebate calculation.

Attendees who registered with a complimentary or $0 ticket, speaker registrants, and sponsor registrants may share their Referral Link but will not earn any rebate credits, as described in Section 2.

5. REFERRED ATTENDEE DISCOUNT

A new attendee who visits your Referral Link will have a 10% discount automatically applied to their ticket price at checkout.

The discount applies to the referred attendee’s ticket price only and confers no benefit to the referrer beyond the rebate described in Section 4.

The referred attendee discount is non-stackable and may not be combined with any other promotional code, discount, or offer.

The discount is applied at the time of purchase only. It is not preserved if the referred attendee navigates away from the checkout flow and returns without using the Referral Link.

If a referred attendee’s purchase is subsequently refunded, cancelled, or charged back, the discount is effectively reversed as part of that refund and the corresponding referral credit is voided per Section 8.

6. QUALIFYING REFERRALS

A referral is “qualifying” only if all of the following conditions are met:

The referred attendee is a new registrant who has not previously purchased a ticket to the same Event;

The referred attendee completes full payment at checkout via your Referral Link;

The referred attendee’s ticket is not subsequently refunded, cancelled, or charged back prior to the rebate payout date;

The referral is not the result of fraud, manipulation, self-referral, or any violation of these Referral Terms; and

Your own registration remains valid, paid, and non-refunded as of the payout date.

7. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of all accrued rebates:

Self-referral: Using your own Referral Link on your own purchase or on a purchase made on your behalf;

Coordinated abuse: Purchasing tickets solely for the purpose of generating referral credits, or coordinating with others to do so;

Misrepresentation: Presenting the Program as a paid employment or compensation arrangement;

Disclosure violations: Failing to disclose your financial interest when promoting your Referral Link on social media or other public channels (see Section 10);

Unauthorized transfers: Selling, auctioning, or transferring your Referral Link or associated code to a third party.

8. REBATE PAYOUT

Timing: Qualifying rebates will be disbursed approximately 90 days following the conclusion of the Event. This hold period exists to allow for resolution of chargebacks, refund requests, and disputes.

Method: Rebates are issued as a refund to the original payment method used at the time of your Event registration. No separate payment information is required. If your original payment method is no longer active, it is your responsibility to notify us at team@aionthelot.com prior to the payout date. The Organizer is not responsible for failed disbursements due to expired or closed payment methods.

Minimum threshold: Rebates will only be disbursed if the total accrued rebate amount is greater than $0.

No cash equivalent: Rebates have no cash value beyond the amount of your own registration fee and cannot be transferred, gifted, or applied to future events.

9. FORFEITURE OF REBATES

Your accrued rebates will be automatically voided and forfeited, with no compensation owed, if:

Your own ticket registration is refunded, cancelled, or charged back for any reason prior to the payout date;

A referred attendee’s ticket is refunded, cancelled, or charged back (the rebate credit for that specific referral is voided; all other accrued credits remain unaffected);

You are found to have violated these Referral Terms or the Event Terms & Conditions;

The Event is cancelled by the Organizer (in which case the standard cancellation and refund provisions of the Event Terms & Conditions apply); or

You fail to maintain a valid original payment method and do not notify us prior to the payout date.

10. FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT

If you share your Referral Link publicly — including on social media, blogs, newsletters, podcasts, or any other public channel — you are required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guidelines to clearly and conspicuously disclose that you may receive a financial benefit. Acceptable disclosure language includes: “I may receive a rebate on my ticket if you use my link.” The Organizer is not responsible for your compliance with applicable disclosure obligations, and failure to comply is solely your responsibility.

11. PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS & TERMINATION

The Organizer reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time, with or without notice, including changes to rebate percentages, referred attendee discounts, payout timing, eligibility requirements, or payout methods. Any modifications will apply prospectively. Referrals already confirmed as qualifying prior to a modification will be honored under the terms in effect at the time of the referral.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

These Referral Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and are subject to the dispute resolution, limitation of liability, and general provisions set forth in the Event Terms & Conditions, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between these Referral Terms and the Event Terms & Conditions, these Referral Terms shall control with respect to the Program.
