The following terms apply to your participation in the DISH Refer-A-Friend Program (“Program”) offered by DISH Network L.L.C. (“DISH” or “we”). By participating in the Program, you agree to comply with these terms (“Program Terms”).
The Program is separate from any other rewards or loyalty program previously or currently offered by DISH, and is subject to the Residential Customer Agreement (“RCA”) you entered into with DISH. These Program Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with DISH for products, services, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the RCA. The RCA is incorporated by reference herein and contains additional terms and conditions. The RCA is available online at dish.com/service-agreements.
You and DISH agree that any and all disputes arising out of, relating to, or concerning the Program will be resolved through mandatory and binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the RCA.
The Program is a points-based referral program operated by DISH where you can earn points by referring friends and family to sign up for DISH services and products. See How To Earn Points for more details. Points can be redeemed for rewards using the MyDISH app or visiting https://my.dish.com/refer. By participating in the Program, you authorize DISH to collect, maintain, use, process, and share their information, including, without limitation, names, email addresses, physical addresses, account and other information in accordance with DISH’s Privacy Policy.

Are a resident of the United States (certain restrictions may apply for residents of US territories or otherwise in accordance with applicable local law)If you do not agree to the Program Terms, you must stop participating in the Program.
2 ) YOU MUST DISCLOSE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH DISH.
Every time you refer someone to DISH, you must tell that person that you will receive points if they sign up as a DISH subscriber. Telling people you refer that you earn points is a legal requirement. Failure to comply may result in losing your points and may be a violation of laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. You can use the default language provided to share referral code, but at least use: "I get free points if you subscribe using my referral code.”
3 ) YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMMUNICATIONS / YOU MAY NOT USE DISH TRADEMARKS WITHOUT DISH’S PERMISSION.
You are limited in the way you may talk/write about the Program. You must create and distribute any e-mail, social media, or other communication providing a referral invitation in a personal, non-commercial manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends and family members. Bulk e-mail distribution, distribution to strangers, or any other promotion of your personal referral link or code that would constitute, or appear to constitute, unsolicited commercial e-mail or spam under any applicable law or regulation is a violation of these Program Terms and may result in your immediate termination from the Program, disqualification from future participation, and forfeiture of any rewards accrued to you as a result of participation in this Program, but not yet redeemed. You must not, without DISH’s written permission, include any DISH trademarks or other DISH materials in your communications (unless as otherwise provided by DISH to you) about this Program and you must not use any domain names or e-mail addresses that include DISH, its marks or its web site URLs.

Do not make performance, price or other claims about DISH services. And, if someone has asked you to stop sending them messages about DISH, respect that wish. You should not send referrals to people that you do not personally know.
4 ) WHAT IS A QUALIFIED REFERRAL?
Subject to the sole discretion of DISH, you may earn one hundred (100) points for each Qualified Referral. A “Qualified Referral” is defined as a verified new DISH subscriber who arrived at mydish.com/refer via your unique referral link or has provided your unique referral code to DISH at the time they sign up for service and who is a new customer with DISH (meaning has not been a DISH subscriber for a least ninety (90) days before being referred), activates new DISH Satellite Television service, and maintains a DISH Account in good standing for three (3) months. You earn the points at the referrals service activation, but if they cancel before the third full month of their service, DISH may take back the points. You will not receive a reward if your referrals are not considered in good standing for any reason (including, if the referred friend does not satisfy the requirements to be considered a Qualified Referral). This Program cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer by DISH. DISH Services are not available everywhere so your referral might not be able to sign up for DISH Services. You cannot refer yourself or refer your own accounts. DISH employees, sales agents and their immediate family members may not be eligible to refer or participate in Program, as determined by DISH at any time.

7 ) MAXIMUM POINTS.

You will stop earning additional points for Qualified Referrals until the number of Qualified Referrals your refer in the last twelve months falls below ten (10). Points have no fixed or cash value and can only be used to claim rewards. Points earned may not be sold, assigned, or transferred to another MyDISH account. Any sale or barter involving your points will void them completely. Check your MyDISH account for details about expiration dates that may apply to points and rewards.
8 ) NO FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY.
DISH reserves the right to void referrals and points earned if it suspects that the referral points were earned in a fraudulent manner, in a manner that violates these terms, or in a manner otherwise not intended by DISH.
