Alps Referral Scheme Terms and Conditions
Introduction
Please read these Referral Scheme Terms and Conditions (“Referral Terms”), alongside the Terms and Conditions applying to Your use of the Alkemygold Limited website (“Site Terms and Conditions”) and Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). These Referral Terms are supplementary to our Site Terms and Conditions and therefore should be read in conjunction with them, they do not amend or replace Our Site Terms and Conditions which continue to apply.
While this is an important and legally-binding document, We’ve tried to keep these Referral Terms as readable and user-friendly as possible. We have, however, stuck to some conventional legal document practices (such as capitalisation of ‘You’ and ‘Us’ in relation to each party) where it’s helpful for clarity.
By submitting a form to participate in this Referral Scheme, You acknowledge and accept these Referral Terms in their entirety, therefore please read these Referral Terms in full prior to participating in this scheme.
