Lyft Referral Program Rules Last Updated: January 29, 2021 These Lyft Referral Program Rules (“Program Rules”) govern your participation in the Lyft Referral Program. The Program Rules are in addition to any agreements between you and Lyft, including the Lyft Terms of Service, as applicable (collectively, the “Lyft Terms”). The Lyft Terms are incorporated by reference and shall apply to your participation in the Lyft Referral Program, including, if necessary, to resolve any disputes between you and Lyft related to or arising out of the Referral Program. Program Overview The Lyft Referral Program (“Referral Program”) is offered by Lyft, Inc. and its affiliates (together referred to as “Lyft”) and provides Users who are interested in referring their family and friends (“Referrers”) the opportunity to refer eligible individuals to join the Lyft community as new Riders or Drivers. These Program Rules apply to both Referrers and referred Users (“Referred Users” or “Referred” Riders and Drivers, respectively), so please read carefully to understand your respective rights and obligations. Referrer Eligibility To be eligible to participate in the Referral Program as a Referrer, you must (a) be a legal resident of your country; (b) be the age of majority in your territory of residence; and (c) maintain a Lyft account in good standing. Referrers may be Drivers or Riders. A single person may use the Lyft Platform in several ways (for example, as a Rider and Driver). However, if you violate the Program Rules, the Lyft Terms of Service or any other applicable terms, Lyft may suspend or terminate your ability to participate in the Referral Program under any or all of your accounts. For example, if you are a Rider and Driver and you engage in prohibited referral activity under your Driver account, Lyft may terminate your ability to participate in the Referral Program under all of your Lyft accounts. Lyft Codes Under the Referral Program, Lyft may provide you with a unique alphanumeric code (“Lyft Code”) to distribute to eligible individuals to become new Riders or Drivers. Lyft may also provide you the ability to create additional Lyft Codes. Lyft owns all rights in and to any Lyft Code whether provided to you or created by you. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) Lyft may limit the number of Lyft Codes you may create or are made available to you, (b) you have no ownership rights in any form over the Lyft Codes, and (c) Lyft may reclaim, deactivate, invalidate or terminate your Lyft Code at any time at its discretion. How to Refer New Users a. Referred Riders. Through the Lyft passenger app, you may refer eligible individuals to become new Riders on the Lyft Platform. In order to be eligible for a Referral Reward (defined below) for a new Rider, the person must (i) have never previously created a Lyft account; (ii) be at least the age of majority in their territory of residence, and (iii) satisfy the applicable Reward Criteria, as discussed below. If these conditions are met, the person shall be considered your “Referred Rider.” b. Referred Drivers. You may refer eligible individuals to become new Drivers on the Lyft Platform. In order to receive a Referral Reward for a new Driver, the individual must (i) have never previously been a Driver or started an application to become a Driver; (ii) meet all eligibility requirements and be approved to drive on the Lyft Platform, and (iii) satisfy the applicable Reward Criteria. Previously deactivated drivers are not considered a new Driver for the purposes of this promotion. Lyft driver eligibility and approval is determined at the sole discretion of Lyft, and is not guaranteed. The duration of the review process may vary. If these conditions are met, the person shall be considered your “Referred Driver.” c. Invitations through the Lyft Platform. You may invite your family and friends to become new Users directly through the Lyft Platform by entering or providing Lyft with your invitee’s contact information (all information collected by Lyft under the Referral Program shall be governed by Lyft’s Privacy Policy). Inviting an individual through the Lyft Platform may generate an automatic invitation text (SMS) or email (the “Invitation”) to the person which may be sent through your phone number or a number controlled by Lyft. The Invitation may contain a promotional offer of Lyft credit to a new Rider or a bonus to a new Driver. You represent that you have the necessary consent from your invitee to send them the Invitation (either directly or through the Lyft Platform). If your invitee follows the links in your Invitation and creates a Lyft account using the information provided, your Lyft Code will be automatically applied on the new Rider’s account or the new Driver’s application, as applicable. Note: Lyft does not accept Rider referrals through the Driver application. If you wish to refer Riders, please use the Rider application. d. Other Invitations. You may also invite eligible individuals to become new Users by distributing your Lyft Code directly and instructing them to manually input your Lyft Code into the Lyft App. A Rider will not be able to apply your Lyft Code if (i) they’ve already applied another User’s Lyft Code or a different promotion code, (ii) they’ve already received Lyft credit from Lyft or another source on their User account prior to entry of your Lyft Code, or (iii) they take a Lyft ride prior to entering your Lyft Code in their Account. A Driver will not be able to apply your Lyft Code if they start their application without entering your Code or with entering another User’s Code. If a User does not enter your Lyft Code you will not receive attribution for the referral and they will not be considered your Referred Rider or Referred Driver. Lyft reserves the right to supply new Users with Lyft credit or sign-on bonuses at its discretion. Referral Rewards a. General. You are eligible to earn a referral incentive (“Referral Reward”) for each Referred Rider and Referred Driver that you refer to the Lyft Platform (subject to certain maximum limits and the other terms in these Program Rules). Referral Rewards can only be earned for Referrals in your country of residence, and cannot be earned for cross-border referrals. As discussed above, in order to qualify as your Referred Rider or Referred Driver, the new User must satisfy the applicable reward criteria (“Reward Criteria”) as communicated to the Referred User by Lyft. The Reward Criteria are set by Lyft in its sole discretion and are subject to change at any time. The Reward Criteria may vary by market or within a particular market. Lyft, at its sole discretion, may make available certain promotions with different Reward Criteria or Referral Rewards to other Users or prospective Users. These promotions, unless offered to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your Agreement or relationship with Lyft. If the new User that you refer satisfies the Reward Criteria, the type of Referral Reward you are eligible to receive may depend on (i) which Lyft User account you used to refer the new user (in general, Drivers can earn cash for Referred Users paid out in their weekly earnings, whereas Riders receive Lyft credits in their Lyft account -- the amount of the Referral Reward may also vary depending on which User account you use), (ii) the Lyft region associated with your Lyft account (which may be the last location you have logged into the Lyft application), (iii) the Lyft region associated with the Referred User when they apply your Lyft Code, (iv) the Lyft region where the Referred User gave or took their first ride; or (v) other factors as determined and communicated by Lyft. Both the Referrers and the Referred Users may be presented in the Lyft App with the amounts of the Referral Rewards they may receive if all the Referral Criteria and other conditions described herein are met. These amounts are calculated based on certain assumptions, such as, without limitation, the Referrer’s or the the Referred User’s location at the time they give or take their first ride or download the Lyft app, and may not be accurate based on the actual behavior of the Referred Users. Such amounts, therefore, are only estimates and may differ based on a number of factors. Lyft will make a good faith calculation of such amounts based on the location of the Referrer and the Referred User. The Referrer and the Referred User will see the final applicable amount of their respective Referral Bonuses at the time when such Referral Bonuses are applied to their User Accounts and/or paid out. b. Earning Referral Rewards for Referred Riders. New Riders you refer may receive Lyft credit upon creating their new Lyft account (“Referral Credit”). Referral Credit is only valid for use on the Lyft Platform and is not transferable or redeemable for cash. Referral Credit may contain certain restrictions such as expiration dates or geographical use limitations which will be communicated to the new Rider. New Riders should check the Promos tab within their Lyft app to determine whether they have Referral Credit and any restrictions on its use. In order to satisfy the Referral Criteria, the referred Rider must take their first Lyft ride before the Referral Credit expires, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the creation of their Lyft account. All terms and conditions for the distribution and use of Referral Credit are determined by Lyft in its sole discretion. c. Maximum Referral Rewards for Referred Riders. The maximum amount of Referral Rewards that Lyft will pay for Referred Riders is $2,000 per week (either in cash, Lyft credit, or a combination of the two). For example, if the Referral Reward is $10 per Referred Rider and you generate 230 Referred Riders in a single week, the maximum you can earn is $2,000 (in cash or Lyft credit) for such week. This maximum Referral Reward amount shall apply across all of your Lyft accounts (Rider (including your Business Rider account) or Driver). You may not create multiple Lyft accounts to circumvent the Referral Reward maximum, and Lyft may withhold or deny any amounts above the maximum Referral Reward. Lyft reserves the right to change this maximum amount, and it is your responsibility to review the Program Rules for the current maximum limits. d. Earning Referral Rewards for Referred Drivers. When you refer a new Driver to the Lyft Platform you may be eligible for a Referral Reward if the Driver is approved, satisfies the Reward Criteria, and is not waitlisted to become a Driver. The applicable Reward Criteria varies by time, market, and promotion. Lyft will confirm the applicable Reward Criteria for the Referred Driver (if any) upon submission of their Driver application. As a standing rule, the new Driver applicant must complete their Driver application and become approved to drive on the Lyft Platform within 30 days of starting the application in order to be eligible to complete the Reward Criteria. In addition, the Reward Criteria for new drivers always includes providing a certain number of rides on the Lyft Platform within a certain number of days of becoming approved to drive (the specifics shall be confirmed upon application). In all cases, no more than two rides given to the same Rider shall count toward the ride total. e. Maximum Referral Rewards for Referred Drivers. Lyft reserves the right to set a maximum amount of Referral Rewards you can earn per week (or any other time increment) for referring new Drivers to the Lyft Platform. It is your responsibility to review the Program Rules for the current maximum limits. In addition to the foregoing, if you (i) have referred individuals in ten (10) or more regions and/or, (ii) within any thirty (30) day period, received Referral Rewards in the amount exceeding $2,000, Lyft may automatically terminate your eligibility to participate in this Lyft Referral Program. If you are found to be ineligible to participate in this Referral Program, Lyft may provide you the opportunity to submit an application to participate in other programs Lyft may offer; provided that, Lyft has no obligation to do so. Participation in all programs is subject to Lyft’s sole discretion and Lyft does not guarantee participation. f. Resolving Disputes over Referrals. Only one person can earn a Referral Reward for a single Referred Rider or Referred Driver. In the event that multiple persons claim credit for a particular referral, Lyft has full discretion to determine which person earned such referral according to Lyft’s systems. g. Reservation of rights. Lyft reserves the right to withhold or deduct Referral Rewards or Referral Credit obtained through the Referral Program in the event that Lyft determines or believes that the receipt of the Referral Reward or Referral Credit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of these Program Rules or any other applicable agreement between you and Lyft.
