Terms and Conditions

Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union (“we” or “MSGCU”) is offering you the opportunity to refer friends to become members of MSGCU via the MSGCU Member Referral Program (“Program”) offered on the web site located at http://refer.msgcu.org/ (the “Site”).

1. Binding Agreement. By using the Site or participating in the Program, you are bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and are indicating your agreement to abide by these Terms. All of MSGCU’s decisions with respect to the Program and/or any referral or reward thereunder shall be final and binding.

2. Privacy. The personal information collected, processed, and used as are eligible to part of the Program will be used in accordance with MSGCU’s Privacy Statement, which is available by link on the Site. By participating in the Program, all participants agree to MSGCU’s use of their personal information and acknowledge that they have agreed to be bound by the MSGCU’s Privacy Statement. Unsubscribing from MSGCU Referral Program emails does not impact your ability to participate in the Program.

3. How the Program Works. You must be a legal resident of the United States of America, at least 16 years old, and a member of MSGCU to use the Site and participate in the Program. To participate in the Program, you must visit the Site and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues. You may refer up to a maximum of 25 natural person friends, family members or colleagues during each session and a maximum of 500 such persons throughout the entirety of the Program. Once you make a referral, you become a “Referrer” and will be provided with a unique referral link (“Personal Link”) that will permit you to receive the reward advertised on the Site, provided the referral and reward criteria are met. Persons referred by you (“Friends”) must complete the referral process consisting of registering online with their email address, and meeting reward criteria as described in “Rewards”. Each referral made is valid for 6 months. If a Friend receives more than one referral, Referrer reward will be paid to only one referrer, as determined by the Personal Link most recently utilized by the Friend.

4. Restrictions. Friends may not be existing members of MSGCU. You may not refer yourself. You may not create multiple, fictitious, or fake accounts with MSGCU or participate in the Program as a Friend. You 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, you may not (i) tamper with the Program, (ii) act in an unfair, abusive, deceptive 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, MSGCU RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEES) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

Employees of MSGCU are eligible to participate in the Program, however the participation of MSGCU employees is subject to separate terms and conditions. Referrals made by or to MSGCU employees are invalid and are not eligible for rewards, except as set forth in the separate terms and conditions governing the participation of MSGCU employees in the Program.

5. Rewards. By making a valid referral that is completed by a Friend in accordance with the Program and these Terms, you and the Friend will each receive a cash reward as follows: $5 for a new MSGCU membership which is established by the Friend and remains in good standing for a period of at least 60 days; $25 for an approved and funded Auto, RV, Boat or Power Sport loan of $5,000 or more applied for by the Friend within 10 days of membership open date; $25 for a new MSGCU VISA credit card which the Friend must apply for within 10 days of membership open date and be approved for within 30 days of application date; $100 for an approved and funded mortgage loan applied for by the Friend and funded within 180 days of membership open date; $25 for a new checking account opened by the Friend and funded with $25 or more within 10 days of membership open date. The Friend will receive an additional $25 reward if they make 10 debit card transactions of $10 or more via the new checking account within 60 days, or they receive a direct deposit of $100 or more into the account within 60 days.

Only one reward per reward type is available, for each Friend referred, subject to a maximum limitation of $1,500 in cash rewards paid to you per calendar year. Rewards will be automatically deposited into your oldest existing MSGCU primary share account one business day following confirmation by MSGCU that the referral has been made in full compliance with the Program and these Terms. Payment of rewards is subject to verification by MSGCU. MSGCU may delay payment of any reward for investigative and verification purposes, and confirmation of compliance with these Terms and Program requirements. MSGCU may refuse to verify and process any referral for any reason. Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold.

6. Tax Information: Reward cash payments are considered interest and annual payments totaling $600 and above will be reported on IRS Form 1099-MISC, to federal, state, and local tax authorities, if required by applicable law. You are responsible for any taxes due.

7. 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, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF MSGCU WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES).
