Nova Credit Referral Program Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: November 29, 2022

These terms and conditions (the “Program Terms”) apply to your participation in the Nova Credit Inc. (“Nova Credit”) Referral and/or Affiliate Program (the “Program”). By participating in the Program, users (“Participants”) agree to use the Program as outlined herein, the terms provided in the Program signup page at the time of a Qualified Referral and consistent with any other terms we may apply to the Program. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, then you cannot register and participate in the Program. This Program is only available to individuals who have had a previous interaction with Nova Credit, including but not limited to using Nova capabilities to pull their foreign credit history. Participants also cannot register where in so doing, they would violate any applicable law or regulations.

“Referrer”: a registered participant in the Program who is provided a Referral Link to send to users and a legal resident of the United States.

“Referred User”: a person who has not previously used Nova Credit and with whom the Referrer shares their Referral Link.

“Referral Link”: a personalized referral link, provided to you by Nova Credit.

“Referral Credit”: the credit or reward given to a Referrer.

Receiving a Referral Link

Upon signing up for the Program and providing all necessary information required, Referrers will receive a unique Referral Link that allows Referrers to receive Referral Credit. The Program is intended for personal use and is not to be used by any entity or organization. Referrers must respect the spirit and intent of the Program by refraining from engaging in spamming or other problematic practices, including creating fake accounts, signing up multiple times or harassing potential referral sources. Referrers may not share Referral Links via email. Referrers understand and agree that they are responsible for all taxes, if any, associated with the Referral Credit.

Qualified Referrals

Referral Credit will be awarded for “Qualified Referrals” that meet the following conditions:

  • The Referred User must use the Referral Link from a Referrer in good standing;

  • If a Referred User received multiple Referral Links, Nova Credit will provide the Referral Credit to the person whose Referral Link is used most recently before the completed referral;

  • The Referred User must use the Referral Link when applying for a U.S. card through a card issuer or provider that utilizes Nova Credit to obtain the Referred Users international credit history (a “Nova Partner”). In the event that the Referred User’s international credit history is retrieved by the Nova Partner, the Referrer will receive Referral Credit subject to the Program Terms;

  • The Referred User must be a Qualified Referral who meets the following conditions:

  • Moved to the United States in the preceding two (2) year period;

  • Has their foreign credit history accessed as part of the credit card application from a Supported Country.

  • Supported Countries are: (i) Australia; (ii) Brazil; (iii) Canada; (iv) Dominican Republic; (v) India; (vi) Kenya; (vii) Mexico; (viii) Nigeria; (ix) Philippines; and (x) South Korea; (xi) Switzerland; and (xii) the United Kingdom.

  • Completes the application with the Nova Credit Partner in a full, good faith and truthful manner;

  • Has not previously completed an application with a Nova Credit Partner for which Referral Credit has been granted;

  • In the event that all the conditions and Program Terms are met, the Referrer and Referred User will receive the applicable Referral Credit that is in place at the time that the Nova Credit international credit report is received by the Nova Credit Partner; and

  • Such other requirements and conditions that may be imposed by Nova Credit in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time.

Receipt of Referral Credit

Referral Credits may be received by a Referrer for up to fifty (50) Referred Users per calendar year. Referral Credits are subject to verification and will generally be awarded within 60 days of verification. Nova Credit may withhold a Referral Credit if it reasonably believes additional verification is required. Nova Credit may also withhold or invalidate any potential credits it deems fraudulent, suspect, or in violation of these Program Terms. If Nova Credit, in its sole discretion, believes providing Referral Credit will impose liability on Nova Credit or any of its affiliates or partners it may withhold or invalidate Credits.

All Nova Credit decisions are final and binding, except where prohibited, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral or Referral Credit is valid, when and if to terminate the Program and whether to change the Program. Any changes to the Program will be included on the Program page or in the Program Terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, while these Terms may supplement any additional terms entered into between a party and Nova Credit, under no circumstances will a party receive duplicate or combined credit in connection with the same transaction.
