Raw Bandwidth: Referral Credit Program

Referral Credit Program

Advertising is expensive, and so we love to get customers by referrals from our existing customers, and would rather give back to our existing customers by way of service credits for sending business our way... So, we are glad to offer credit in the amount indicated below to your account when you refer someone to Raw Bandwidth for service. The program works as follows:

Send us a new customer and be sure they mention you at the time of signup as the existing customer who referred them. DSL signups should be instructed to indicate who referred them in comments on their web order form submissions.
Your referral may participate in any free trial period or other signup promotions we may offer. Likewise you may be in a free trial period yourself when you refer someone, but we will still credit you for the referral.
Once your referral has signed up with us, paid for, and completed two months of paid service (any free time doesn't count towards the two months of service) with Raw Bandwidth, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount indicated below on qualifying services (see below).
The credit has no cash value and may only be used to offset service charges against your account here.
Referral credit is only available on referrals of users who have not had an account with us in the past year. Referral credit is not available on your own accounts or subaccounts.

Signups on the following dialup services qualify for referral credit equal to one month of the referred customer's service fee:

Personal PPP account
Personal PPP/Shell account
Shell-only account (even if only telneted to)
Family Account
Personal ISDN account
Charter/unmetered ISDN account
Dedicated modem or ISDN dialup account
Any fixed-cost account options to the above accounts such as static IP address, static IP subnets, Virtual Domain hosting, extra email boxes, etc.

Note specifically that we do not issue credit for any per-transfer usage charges such as web hosting bandwidth, though we haven't been charging anyone those charges anyway.

Signups on DSL services qualify for referral credits:

For the base DSL service charge in the following amounts:
- Residential DSL plan: upto 384K or 384-1.5M = $25, 1.5-3M = $35, 1.5-6M or 3-6M = $60
- Business DSL plan: upto 384K = $50, 384-1.5M = $70, 1.5-3M = $100, 1.5-6M or 3-6M = $150
Any fixed-cost account options to the above account such as static IP address, static IP subnets, Shell account option, Virtual Domain hosting, extra email boxes, etc. in the amount of one month's worth of billing for the option(s).

Note specifically that we do not issue credit for any per-transfer usage charges such as web hosting bandwidth. We also do not issue referral credits for installation or equipment charges, or the DSL line charge itself.

Other services such as leased lines may qualify for some service credits, but you'll need to contact us directly to check on a case by case basis; only services above qualify automatically. If you have any questions, please let us know and we'll clarify the above or add specifically if we forgot something we intended to include. We do recommend keeping track of your referrals and double check with us if you don't get credit; on a couple of occasions we have noted the referrer but failed to enter it into our database for crediting, and any problems will be promptly corrected. If a new user cites multiple users as referring them, we generally split the total credit evenly amongst those users.

Please, NO SPAMMING, mass emails, or UseNet postings; solicitations via those unseemly methods will NOT receive credit. In order to earn credit, we expect you have some minimal personal relationship and contact with the referred customer. Qualification of referrals for credits is in Raw Bandwidth's sole discretion. Please ask if you have any questions about this program.
