## Participant-facing copy draft

"For [eligible completed action] by [date/time zone], your friend receives [specific benefit] and you receive [specific benefit] after [verification trigger]. [Limits/exclusions]. [Support link]. If you recommend the event publicly, disclose that you may receive [benefit]."

Adapt this copy to the actual program and local rules. Do not ask participants to upload friends’ addresses until a lawful marketing and privacy route has been reviewed. A link click is not a qualified order. Retain a restricted exception log with referral ID, order reference, decision, owner and delivery state.
