1. Promoter
The Spartan Race Australia Refer-a-Mate Program ("Program") is run by Spartan AUS 3.0 Pty Ltd ("Spartan", "we", "us").
2. How it works
Referrers share a personal referral link. A friend who signs up through that link receives a personal 10% off code by email. When the friend purchases an eligible race entry using that code and the registration qualifies under clause 4, the referrer receives a $10 promotional discount code ("Referral Reward") for use against a future eligible Spartan Australia race entry.
3. Referrer eligibility and verification
(a) Anyone may participate as a referrer, whether or not they have previously registered for or attended a Spartan Australia event, subject to the eligibility requirements of these terms. Referrers are not required to purchase a race entry or participate in an event to earn Referral Rewards.
(b) There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer.
(c) You may not refer yourself, including under a different name or email address.
(d) The personal information you give us must be correct and up to date. We may monitor use of the Program and ask you to verify your identity before issuing a reward.
(e) Current directors, employees and contractors of Spartan, and affiliate partners, are excluded from participating in the Program unless Spartan has approved their participation in writing.
4. Qualified referrals
(a) A referral qualifies when the friend:
(i) signs up through the referrer's personal referral link;
(ii) purchases an eligible paid adult race entry to a Spartan Australia event directly on au.spartan.com;
(iii) uses their personal 10% referral discount code at checkout; and
(iv) retains a valid, paid registration for 14 days after purchase, or until race day, if earlier.
(b) A referrer cannot earn a Referral Reward for a registration where they also receive, or are entitled to receive, a separate team organiser, team captain or other recruitment incentive attributable to that registration.
(c) Cancelled, refunded or transferred registrations, spectator passes, Kids races and other ineligible purchases do not qualify. Each individual friend may generate only one Referral Reward under the Program, regardless of the number of registration attempts, email addresses or referral links used.
(d) Where an event is postponed, the referral remains eligible provided the friend retains their registration for the rescheduled event. Where an event is cancelled and will not proceed, the associated referral will not qualify for a reward. Any Referral Reward already issued in relation to a subsequently cancelled event may be reversed, subject to applicable law.
5. Friend discount
(a) The 10% off referral discount code is single use and applies to one eligible paid adult individual race entry purchased through au.spartan.com. The discount applies to the eligible race ticket price only and excludes booking and transaction fees, merchandise, parking, spectator passes, Season Passes and Trifecta Passes, Kids entries and other ancillary purchases.
(b) The referral discount code must be entered at checkout. It cannot be applied after registration.
(c) The referral discount code cannot be combined with any other discount, special offer or promotional code, including team or group discounts, corporate or partner rates, affiliate offers or other promotional pricing. Where more than one discount is available, the customer may select one eligible offer only.
(d) Joining or registering as part of a team does not automatically exclude a participant from using the referral discount, provided the individual purchases an otherwise eligible race entry at the standard individual rate and does not receive a team or group discount.
(e) The referral discount does not apply to purchases or redemptions of Season Passes, Trifecta Passes, bundled race packages or other multi-event packages, unless expressly stated otherwise.
6. Referrer Reward
(a) Each qualified referral earns the referrer a $10 Referral Reward, issued by email within seven business days after the referral qualifies under clause 4.
(b) Each Referral Reward provides $10 off an eligible future paid adult Spartan Australia race entry purchased through au.spartan.com. Referral Rewards are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
(c) Multiple Referral Rewards may be accumulated and applied towards a single eligible purchase by emailing info@au.spartan.com. Referral Rewards may also be applied after other eligible promotional discounts have been deducted from the ticket price, with the amount redeemed capped at the remaining eligible ticket price. Any unused discount amount is treated in accordance with clause 6(e).
(d) Before redemption, a referrer may request to exchange accumulated Referral Rewards for an equivalent merchandise promotional voucher by emailing info@au.spartan.com. The merchandise voucher will be subject to its own terms and conditions, which will be made available before the exchange is completed. Once exchanged, the original Referral Rewards are cancelled and cannot be reinstated or converted back.
(e) Where a Referral Reward is redeemed against a purchase, any unused discount amount is forfeited and cannot be carried forward.
(f) Referral Rewards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, sold or transferred to another person.
7. Sharing your link
(a) You may share your referral link with friends, family, training partners, colleagues or through your own social media accounts, provided you comply with these terms.
(b) You must not promote your referral link through paid advertising, publication on coupon or discount aggregation websites, automated distribution or other unauthorised promotional activities.
(c) You must not send unsolicited commercial electronic messages or otherwise share your referral link in a manner that breaches the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) or any other applicable law.
(d) You must not publish your link on sites or platforms featuring adult content, gambling or illegal activity.
(e) You must respect the privacy of the people you invite and must not collect, disclose or misuse their personal information in connection with the Program.
(f) When sharing your referral link, you must not make misleading claims about the Program, its benefits or your relationship with Spartan, and you must clearly disclose that you may receive a promotional reward if someone purchases an eligible race entry using your link.
8. Fair use and misuse
(a) The Program is intended to encourage genuine referrals and race registrations. Participants must use the Program in good faith and must not manipulate or artificially generate referral activity primarily to obtain Referral Rewards.
(b) Misuse includes, but is not limited to:
(i) self-referrals, including using alternative names, email addresses or accounts;
(ii) false, duplicate or fraudulent registrations;
(iii) coordinating existing team or group registrations through a single referral link primarily to accumulate Referral Rewards, rather than to generate genuine referrals;
(iv) structuring or splitting group bookings to circumvent the Program's discount restrictions; and
(v) unauthorised commercial promotion, automated referrals or other attempts to manipulate the Program.
(c) A high number of successful referrals, or membership of a large team or group, does not in itself constitute misuse of the Program.
(d) Spartan may monitor referral activity and request reasonable information to verify compliance with these terms. Where Spartan has reasonable grounds to believe the Program has been misused or its eligibility requirements have not been met, we may withhold or cancel affected Referral Rewards, restrict further participation or remove a participant from the Program.
(e) Spartan will determine eligibility, qualified referrals and Referral Rewards reasonably, based on the available registration and referral records.
9. Privacy
(a) Personal information collected in connection with the Program, including names, email addresses and referral and registration information, is used to administer, verify and operate the Program.
(b) Spartan handles personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
(c) The Program uses Referral Factory to manage referral links, sign-ups and rewards. Referral Factory processes relevant personal information on Spartan's behalf under its data processing arrangements. Further information about Referral Factory's privacy practices is available in its Privacy and Cookie Policy.
(d) Any use of personal information for ongoing marketing is subject to applicable privacy and electronic marketing requirements.
10. Program period and changes
(a) The Program runs until Spartan announces its end. We may extend or shorten the Program period. Referrals made before the Program ends that subsequently meet the qualification requirements will remain eligible for a Referral Reward. Referrals initiated after the Program ends will not qualify.
(b) We may change, suspend or end the Program or these terms at any time. Changes will apply prospectively, and we will take reasonable steps to notify participants of material changes.
(c) Referrals made before a change or the end of the Program will remain eligible under the terms applicable when they were made, provided they subsequently meet the relevant qualification requirements.
(d) Referral Rewards already earned will be honoured in accordance with these terms, except where cancellation is permitted under the Program's misuse or eligibility provisions or required by law.
11. Your relationship with Spartan Australia
(a) Taking part in the Program does not make you an employee, agent, partner or representative of Spartan Australia, and you cannot bind Spartan to any agreement.
(b) You must not create materials that use Spartan's name, logos or trademarks in a way that suggests an official endorsement, beyond sharing your referral link and the content we provide.
12. Liability
(a) Spartan does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Program. Where a technical or administrative error occurs, we will take reasonable steps to correct it, including reviewing any affected referral or reward entitlement.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, you indemnify Spartan against claims, losses and costs arising from your breach of these terms or your fraud, unlawful conduct or deliberate misuse of the Program.
(c) Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the courts of that state have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
