Referral Credit Policy & Guidelines
Complete guidelines on how the Semiora referral system operates: earning $10.00 subscription credits, automatic split-billing invoice deductions, and 30-day attribution tracking.
Deposit $10.00 in subscription credits for every referred user who upgrades to any paid plan.
Credits deduct dollar-for-dollar on renewal invoices and seat expansions automatically.
Attribution is preserved across sessions and devices for 30 days from the initial click.
1. Program Overview
The Semiora Referral Program enables registered users to earn subscription discount credits by introducing colleagues, clients, and teams to Semiora. The program is automated and designed to reward organic community growth.
Every active account includes built-in referral capabilities without requiring application forms or approval waitlists. You can access your dedicated referral code anytime in your dashboard under Settings → Refer and earn.
2. Referral Attribution (30-Day Window)
Each account receives a unique 8-character referral code (e.g. 2R3PHCMN) and dedicated shareable URL:
- 30-Day Tracking Cookie: When an invitee clicks your link, a 30-day attribution cookie (
cal_referral) is stored in their browser. If they return days later, attribution remains tied to your account. - OAuth & Enterprise SSO Support: Attribution persists regardless of whether the user signs up with Email/Password, Google OAuth, GitHub, or Enterprise SAML SSO.
- Real-Time Dashboard Tracking: Referrals appear instantly in your dashboard with a Signed Up status.
3. Earning the $10 Reward
Referral credits are performance-based and triggered upon first successful payment:
- Reward Trigger: The moment a referred user completes their first payment on any paid tier (Monthly or Annual plans), your account is automatically credited with $10.00 USD (1,000 cents).
- Free Tier Accounts: Referrals on the free plan do not yield credits immediately, but remain permanently linked to your profile until they choose to upgrade.
- Unlimited Referrals: There is no cap on the number of qualifying referrals you can introduce.
4. Split-Billing & Invoice Application
Referral credits operate as real dollar-for-dollar invoice deductions applied directly to your software expenses:
Where Credits Apply:
- Recurring monthly and annual subscription renewal invoices.
- Upgrades from Free to Teams or Organizations.
- Adding additional team seats and workspace capacity.
Split-Billing Invoice Example:
If an invoice is less than your available balance (e.g. a $6.00 seat proration), the invoice is 100% covered ($0 charged to card) and the unused $4.00 credit rolls over to your next statement.
5. Credit Terms & Limitations
- Promotional Credits: Referral credits function exclusively as promotional billing discounts. They cannot be redeemed for cash, transferred between accounts, or withdrawn via bank wire or PayPal.
- No Expiration: Credits do not expire while your account remains active and in good standing.
- Non-Retroactive: Referral codes must be attached at signup or during the 30-day tracking window; accounts created earlier cannot be retroactively assigned.
6. Fraud Prevention & Fair Use Rules
The following practices are strictly prohibited and result in forfeiture of credits and account suspension:
- Self-Referrals: Creating auxiliary accounts or referring alternate emails owned by the same individual or team.
- Spamming: Broadcasting links via bulk unsolicited email, automated bots, or link injection spam.
- Impersonation: Misrepresenting yourself as official Semiora staff or running unauthorized paid ads on branded trademarks.
7. Program Modifications & Inquiries
Semiora reserves the right to amend reward amounts or program structures upon reasonable notice. Any adjustments will not alter credits already deposited in your balance.
