Qualified Invite
A Qualified Invite is defined as the purchase of invisible aligners made at SmileDirectClub by a person (an "Invited Customer") who arrives to our website by clicking your Invite-a-Friend program link. Upon arriving at the website using the Invite-a-Friend program link, the Invited Customer must either schedule a free scan or order an at-home impression kit, and then purchase invisible aligners. A Qualified Invite is counted when the Invited Customer’s invisible aligners ship. You are limited to one Qualified Invite for each Invited Customer in other words, additional/repeat purchases made by an Invited Customer are not counted as additional Qualified Invites.
Invited Customer
The Invited Customer and the Referrer cannot be the same person (for example, by using a different email address).
Referral Rewards
For you to earn referral rewards as a Referrer, the Referred Customer must complete an order of invisible aligners. The referral is counted and paid out once the invisible aligners ship to the Referred Customer.
Reward Payments
Rewards are payable in increments of $100, paid via e-gift card within 2-3 weeks from when the Invited Customer's aligners ship. As a Referrer, you are responsible for any and all tax liability resulting from Referral Rewards.

No Spam

For example, emails must be created and distributed in a personal manner and bulk email distribution is strongly discouraged. Any distribution of your invite link that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of your account and exclusion from SmileDirectClub’s Invite-a-Friend program.
