Rewards for Referrals ($50) promotion

To date, a huge part of our success has been due to word of mouth, and we'd like to continue this tradition by rewarding you for promoting us within your different networks. Mention us to your local business associates or members of your local tourism group - and for every new business added to Cursions as a direct result of your actions, we'll send you a cheque for up to $50*.

Not only is it possible to recoup the total cost of your Cursions listing, it's quite possible to make a profit! The more people that you help switch on to Cursions - the more we will reimburse you for your time and effort. There is no limit to how much you could earn, so we encourage you to take advantage of this offer as you see fit.

Note that we are happy to send any interested parties more Cursions brochures - just give us a call ASAP and we'll send you as many as you want

*This promotion is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. For the purposes of this promotion, the "referrer" is a registered Cursions Pty Ltd ("Cursions") client promoting the Cursions advertising service to new entities. The "referree" is any new entity that signs up as a result of such a referral between the dates of Monday 24th September 2007 and Friday 19th October 2007.
2. The referrer must have an ABN, and must be a registered member of the Cursions database with no fees outstanding as of Friday 19th October 2007.
3. The new referree must pay their fees by Friday 26th October 2007.
4. The referree must explicitly name their referrer upon registration (Cursions will explicitly ask all new clients for the name of their referrer, if any).
5. We suggest that any referrers send a list of their potential referrees to us in case referrees need "prompting" from our end.
6. After the deadline, Cursions will tally up the number of paid referrees for each referrer and notify each successful referrer of their results. Referrers must then send "Cursions Pty Ltd" a corresponding tax invoice for the relevant amount, which Cursions will promptly pay via cheque or direct debit as appropriate. If not registered for GST, to facilitate payment, an invoice for the relevant amount will still be required (payment will only be issued upon receipt of an invoice).
7. Payment to successful referrers will be calculated according to the following registration categories:

• $495 registration - $50 (incl. GST).
• $245 registration (as offered to members of certain peak bodies and industry associations) - $30 (incl. GST).
• Recipients of free registration (e.g. certain qualifying community groups) - are not applicable for this reward.
• Members of Christian Camping International (CCI) are ineligible as new referrees for the purposes of this promotion (although CCI members may certainly take advantage of this offer to recruit new non-CCI referrees to Cursions).

8.  This promotion is only eligible to entities based in QLD, NSW, ACT or VIC (referrers or referrees).
