Hostaway Referral Program Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 23, 2025

These Referral Program Terms (“Referral Terms”) apply to the Hostaway Referral Program (“the Program”). Please read these Referral Terms carefully and in full.

Introduction

The Program is made available to you by Hostaway, wholly subject to these Referral Terms, the Hostaway Terms of Service, and the Hostaway Privacy Policy.

In the event of any conflict between the Referral Terms and the Hostaway Terms of Service, the Referral Terms shall prevail solely in relation to the Program.

Definitions

For clarity, the following terms are defined as used in these Referral Terms:

  • Program: The Hostaway Referral Program governed by these Referral Terms.

  • Referrer: An individual or entity participating in the Program by referring new customers to Hostaway using a unique referral link.

  • Referred Customer: A new customer who signs up for Hostaway using the Referrer's unique referral link, enters into an annual subscription agreement, and meets all other eligibility requirements under the Program. Customers on monthly or shorter-term agreements are not eligible.

  • Existing or Returning Hostaway Customer: Any individual or entity that has or has previously had an active Hostaway account, subscription, or customer relationship, regardless of current account status.

  • Successful Referral: A referral where the Referred Customer (a) enters into an annual subscription agreement with Hostaway within 180 days from signing up, (b) pays all applicable onboarding or subscription fees in full, and (c) remains in good standing through the initial payment period, as determined by Hostaway.

  • Reward: The $300 USD Tango gift card (or other promotional reward offered by Hostaway) issued to the Referrer upon completion of a Successful Referral.

  • Onboarding Discount: A 50% reduction in onboarding fees offered to the Referred Customer when they sign an annual contract with Hostaway.

  • Unique Referral Link: The personal link provided to each Referrer to track referrals and ensure eligibility for rewards.

  • Fraudulent Activity: Any activity deemed by Hostaway to be manipulative, dishonest, abusive, or in violation of the Program rules, including but not limited to self-referrals, creating fake accounts, or providing false information.

Referral Program Details

For the Referrer

  • Reward: $300 USD Tango gift card for each successful referral (all countries and languages). See Tango's Terms of Service for more information.

  • Eligibility: The referred person must become a new Hostaway customer and begin an annual billing subscription, and meet all conditions of a Successful Referral.

  • Reward Timing: The gift card is paid within 30 business days once the referred customer's billing subscription begins and payment is received by Hostaway. If the referred customer's billing subscription is not paid or is canceled before payment is received, Hostaway reserves the right to withhold or cancel the gift card reward.

  • Referral Tracking: The referred customer must use the unique referral link provided to the referrer for tracking and reward eligibility. Failure to use this link will result in disqualification. Merely signing up for the Program does not guarantee eligibility for rewards; all program conditions must be met.

For the Referred Customer

  • Onboarding Discount: 50% off Hostaway onboarding fees (annual contract required).

  • Eligibility: The Referred Customer must sign up using the Referrer's Unique Referral Link and enter into an annual subscription agreement.

Limitations on Liability

  • Hostaway is not responsible for any delays, loss, or issues with the delivery of rewards once issued.

  • Hostaway is not responsible for any taxes, fees or other costs associated with the receipt of rewards. All tax obligations are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

Referral Tracking and Verification

  • Hostaway reserves the right to verify the eligibility of any participant and the validity of any referral.

  • Hostaway may request additional documentation or proof to verify eligibility and compliance.

Fraud Prevention

  • Hostaway reserves the right to monitor all Program activity and to withhold or cancel rewards if fraudulent, suspicious, or abusive behavior is detected.

  • Hostaway's decision regarding fraud prevention and disqualification is final and binding.
