Last updated: June 28, 2026. Rise People Inc. ("Rise," "we," "us"). These terms govern participation in our Referral Program and Reference Program. By participating, you agree to them.

Referral Program

Who can participate

The Referral Program is open to current Rise clients in good standing. You may refer any organization that is not already a Rise client and is not already in an active sales conversation with us.

What counts as a qualifying referral

A referral qualifies for a reward when both of the following are true:

• You introduced the business to us before they began a sales conversation with Rise, either by email to sales@risepeople.com or through your unique referral link.
• The referred business signs a paid Rise agreement.

The reward is earned when the referred business signs. Self-referrals, referrals of your own affiliated businesses, and referrals where the business was already in our pipeline do not qualify.

Referral rewards

When a referral qualifies, you receive:

• $100 for a referred business with up to 10 employees.
• $250 for 11–50 employees.
• $500 for 51+ employees.
• An additional $1,000 bonus for every fifth qualifying referral.

Employee count is based on the referred business's headcount at the time they sign with Rise.

The referred business receives a credit of $100–$500 on their first invoice, based on their employee count.

How and when rewards are paid

Rewards are paid within 30 days of the referral becoming qualified. Payment is delivered as a gift card through Tango, our third-party gift card provider. You are solely responsible for any taxes owing on rewards you receive; Rise does not issue tax slips for program rewards.

Reference Program

How it works

If you join the Reference Program, we may occasionally offer your name to a prospective client who wants to speak with a current Rise client. We will ask for your explicit permission before each reference call. You are never obligated to take a call, and you may leave the program at any time by contacting us.

Reference rewards

You receive $100 for each completed reference call you take, paid within 30 days as a Tango gift card. As with referrals, you are solely responsible for any taxes owing, and Rise does not issue tax slips.

General terms

• Eligibility. You must be a current Rise client in good standing to earn rewards under either program. If your account is closed or in arrears, pending rewards may be withheld.
• Fraud and abuse. We may withhold or revoke rewards, and remove you from either program, if we reasonably believe a referral or reference was fraudulent, misrepresented, or made in bad faith.
• Changes to the programs. We may change, pause, or end either program at any time. Changes do not affect rewards already earned. Material changes will be posted here.
• No guarantee. Participation does not guarantee a reward. Rewards are paid only when the conditions above are met.
• Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the applicable laws of Canada.
