The Thrive Stars Refer a Star Challenge (the “Challenge”) begins at 12:00:01 am Eastern Time (“ET”) on June 16th, 2021 (the “Challenge Start Date”) and ends at 11:59:59 pm ET on December 15th, 2021 (the “Challenge End Date”, and such period commencing on the Challenge Start Date through the Challenge End Date, the “Challenge Period”). The Challenge is sponsored by Thrive Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Sponsor”). By participating in the Challenge, each entrant represents that they have read these Official Rules and unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects.

Eligibility: The Challenge is open to individuals who (a) complete or have completed the Thrive Star registration; and (b) download the Thrive app and complete registration or sign-in through the Challenge End Date; and (c ) are a legal resident of the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (excluding all other U.S. territories and possessions) who are at least 16 years of age at the date of entry. If the entrant is under 18 years of age at the time of entry, he or she may only enter with the approval of a parent or legal guardian. All prizes won by minors will be awarded to their parents or legal guardians on their behalf. Entries are limited to individuals only; commercial enterprises and business entities are not eligible. Employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors of the Sponsor, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies, and legal advisors, and their immediate family members and persons living in the same household, are not eligible to participate in the Challenge. The CHALLENGE IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW and is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

How To Participate: To participate in the Challenge, refer a person to be a Thrive Star by completing the form at Thriveglobal.com/stars or by going to the explore tab in the Thrive app and clicking on the “Join Thrive Stars” tile. The referred person must put the name of the person referring them in the referral section of the sign up form in order to count as a referral toward the Challenge.

Participation in the Challenge is voluntary and does not require you to purchase anything from the Sponsor. Entries that are incomplete, that do not comply with these Official Rules, or that otherwise contain prohibited or inappropriate content as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will be disqualified and will not be considered for any prize. Without limiting the foregoing, if the referred individual does not complete the Stars registration form during the Challenge Period or if the referred individual does not include your name on the Stars registration form, the entry will be deemed incomplete and will not be eligible to win. Each eligible referral that is submitted in accordance with these Official Rules will earn an entrant one (1) entry into the Challenge. If the entrant gets 100 referrals they will receive a Peloton Bike. If the entrant gets 50 referrals they will receive a $500 Walmart gift card. If the entrant gets 25 referrals they will receive a $250 Walmart gift card. If the entrant gets 10 referrals they will receive a Thrive phone bed or a holiday bundle from Thrive Global. Once selected as a winner, an entrant may not win a second prize and thus, if a second entry of an individual is selected, it will not be eligible and will be disregarded. No illegible, incomplete, corrupted, forged or altered entries, or automatically or mechanically produced entries, will be accepted. All entries must be received by the Challenge End Date. Sponsor makes the final determination as to which entries are eligible to take part in the Challenge.

Prizes: Within approximately two (2) weeks of the end of the Challenge Period, qualified referrals will be totaled from all eligible entries. The first entrant to obtain one hundred (100) qualified referrals will receive one (1) Peloton bike. Only one Peloton bike will be awarded.

If the entrant obtains 100 qualified referrals they will receive one (1) Peloton Bike. If the entrant obtains fifty (50) qualified referrals they will receive one (1) $500 Walmart gift card. If the entrant obtains twenty-five 25 referrals they will receive one (1) $250 Walmart gift card. If the entrant obtains 10 referrals they will receive (1) Thrive phone bed. The total maximum ARV is dependent on the participation levels, but as a minimum, the Sponsor estimates the total ARV of of all prizes is $ $3,000.

Champion Winner – The first person to get 100 new Star sign ups will get a Peloton bike!

Gold Winner – 50 new Star sign ups = $500 Walmart.com e-gift card

Arbitration Agreement; Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration:

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Agreement to Arbitrate: This Section is referred to in these Official Rules as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the Sponsor, whether arising out of or relating to these Official Rules, the Challenge, your participation in the Challenge, the prize, acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by participating in the Challenge, you and the Sponsor are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND THE SPONSOR AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE SPONSOR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: The Sponsor is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most entrant concerns can be resolved quickly and to the entrant’s satisfaction by emailing the Sponsor’s support team at [email protected]. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Sponsor should be sent to Thrive Global Holdings, Inc. 599 Broadway, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10012, Attn: Legal, or [email protected] (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Sponsor and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Sponsor may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Sponsor or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Sponsor is entitled.

Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Official Rules as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Official Rules and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless the Sponsor and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Sponsor agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability: If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause (b) above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause (b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Official Rules will continue to apply.

Data Collection/Privacy: Sponsor collects personal information from you when you enter the Challenge. Entering the Challenge constitutes your express permission to Sponsor to collect and maintain the collected data. The information collected is subject to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy at https://community.thriveglobal.com/challenge/privacy/
