Programs Terms

[ATTORNEY: review these terms against the FTC Endorsement Guides and Consumer Review rule (16 CFR Parts 255 and 465), EU and UK rules on reviews and hidden advertising, sweepstakes rules (nothing here is decided by chance), and the tax treatment of free membership time as non-cash income.]

These terms apply to Maison Calibre's customer programs: Ambassadors and Beta testers. They sit alongside our Terms of Service, Subscription Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. Invited creators (VIPs) have their own agreement. Program details, numbers and dates are settings we may adjust as described below.

1. Rules for every program

• Rewards are never tied to reviews. We never give, promise or withhold anything for a public review, a rating, a comment or its tone. Rewards are for referred purchases, bug reports and surveys only. Do not offer to post a positive review in return for anything.
• Tell people about your connection. If you post about Maison Calibre anywhere, say clearly that you have a connection, for example "I get rewards if you join" for Ambassadors or "I was given this to test" for Beta testers, in the same post and without needing a click.
• Staff, family and friends. If you are a Maison Calibre team member, or a relative or friend of one, and you post about Maison Calibre, you must disclose that relationship.
• Be honest. No fake accounts, fake followers, bots or bought engagement, and no spam.
• Free membership time is not cash and has no cash value. It cannot be transferred or exchanged. It may count as income for tax purposes where you live; that is your responsibility, and we do not give tax advice.
• We may refuse, withdraw or reverse a reward for breach of these terms, fraud or abuse.

2. Ambassadors

• Your link. Every customer has a personal referral link in their account. Share the link yourself. We do not send invitations to your friends' email addresses on your behalf.
• Rewards. When 5 people you referred have made a paying purchase, you earn an Ambassador badge and 3 months of Grand Atelier membership as a gift. Every further 10 paying referrals earn another 3 months. Rewards are free membership time, never cash.
• What counts. A referral counts when a new customer arrives through your link and makes a paid purchase that is not refunded or charged back. A reward earned on a purchase that is later reversed may be withdrawn.
• Disclosure is mandatory. Whenever you share your link publicly, say that you get rewards if people join (for example "I get rewards if you join").
• No self-referral. You may not refer yourself, your household or accounts you control, or create fake accounts.
• Reviews and sentiment. Rewards are for referred purchases only, never for reviews, ratings or positive comments.
• Changes. We may change or end the Ambassador program, or change the numbers, with notice (for example by email or in your account). Rewards you have already earned stay yours.

3. Beta testers

• Who. The Beta program is limited to 100 testers, chosen by us from applications. Applying does not guarantee a place.
• What you get. 3 months of Grand Atelier membership as a gift for the beta period, and a "Report a bug" form.
• At the end. Testers who reported at least one bug or completed the exit survey keep one Grand Atelier face (as a keep-forever credit). For other testers, the gift access simply ends.
• Bugs are reported privately, through the form or by email, not in public posts or reviews.
• Your feedback. You give us a free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use the bug reports, suggestions and survey answers you give us, without obligation or credit to you, to improve the Service.
• Confidential beta. Unreleased faces and features are confidential until we release them.
• No obligation to post anything. You are not asked or required to post, review or rate anything, publicly or otherwise. If you choose to post, tell people you were a Beta tester with a gift, and be honest.
• No link to public reviews. Your gift and your kept face never depend on a public review, its rating or its content.
• Beta software may not work as expected, and the disclaimers in the Terms of Service apply. We may end the beta or remove a tester at any time; a tester removed for abuse may lose the reward.
