Referral Terms

How referral rewards are earned, qualified, verified and paid.

Last updated 25 August 2026

1. How referrals work

Every GUARD account has a unique referral code and share link. When someone opens GUARD through your link and creates a new account, that signup is attributed to your code. Attribution happens once, at signup, and cannot be changed afterwards.

2. Rewards

A reward is earned when a referred user starts a paid GUARD subscription. Current reward amounts are:

  • GUARD Plus ($4.99/mo) — $2.00 reward
  • GUARD Pro ($9.99/mo) — $4.00 reward
  • GUARD Plus Annual ($39.99/yr) — $8.00 reward

The reward amount is calculated by GUARD's servers from the verified plan the referred user actually paid for. It cannot be set or influenced from the app.

3. Qualification

  • A reward qualifies only after the referred subscription has been active for 7 days.
  • Qualification requires a verified billing event from our payment provider. Test-mode or unverified payments do not qualify.
  • If the subscription is cancelled, refunded, reversed or charged back before qualification, the referral is marked as not eligible and no reward is issued.
  • Each referred account can generate at most one reward, and each reward can be issued only once.

4. What is not allowed

  • Self-referral — referring yourself, or signing up again with another email address to claim a reward.
  • Creating fake, duplicate or automated accounts.
  • Paid advertising on GUARD's brand terms, spam, or misleading claims about what GUARD does.
  • Presenting GUARD as guaranteeing that a seller is safe.

We may disqualify referrals, withhold rewards and close accounts where abuse is detected. Our determination of abuse is made from server-side records of signups, payments and reward state.

5. Payouts

Payouts are currently processed manually by the GUARD team. Rewards are paid only after the qualification requirements are met and the reward has been verified. There is no automatic payout provider connected, and a reward is only marked as paid once the money has actually been sent. To request a payout of your awaiting balance, contact us through Support with your referral code.

6. Changes

We may change reward amounts, the qualification period or these terms for future referrals. Rewards that have already qualified are honoured under the terms that applied when they qualified. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
