US T&C Incentive Perks -
Aspire US Startup Rewards Terms
The Aspire US Startup Rewards Terms ("Startup Rewards Terms") are incorporated into and made a part of the Aspire Terms of Service between you and AFT US LLC ("Aspire"). These Startup Rewards Terms apply to Aspire’s US Startup Rewards Program (the “Program”). By participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by these Startup Rewards Terms, the Aspire Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and any other agreements with Aspire or its affiliates (combined, the “Terms”).
Aspire may update these Startup Rewards Terms with or without notice to you by posting an updated version at any time. Reward payouts, as further defined below as “Startup Rewards”, are subject to changes, including elimination, at any time. Continued participation in the Program, which is reflected by continued use of the Aspire Secured Commercial Charge Card and Aspire Business Account, after any change, constitutes your agreement to be bound by any such changes. Some Rewards may have additional terms and conditions.
You are not obligated to participate in the Program and may opt out of the Program by emailing us at support@aspireapp.com
1. Eligibility Criteria
|
1.1
|
To be eligible for the Program, your Aspire Business Account must be open and in good standing. Any additional accounts opened with Aspire, such as the Aspire Secured Commercial Charge Card, must also remain in good standing. If your Aspire Business Account is not in good standing for any reason, or we determine in our sole discretion that you are abusing or misusing the Program or have otherwise violated any Terms, you will no longer be eligible for the Program. We may condition, restrict, limit, or revoke Rewards in our sole discretion.
Eligible business customers who are referred to Aspire US (“Referred Business”) that meet certain eligibility requirements as described below may be eligible to receive a Reward payout. A “Referred Business” is a business that meets the following criteria:
The business has not previously registered with Aspire US or any Aspire affiliate (Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.);
• The Referred Business must register with Aspire using the Referrer’s unique code or specific log-in link. This is critical so we can track you as a Referred Business; and
• Complete all required “Qualifying Event(s)” within the first 90 days after account opening "Eligibility Period":
• The Referred Business must successfully complete the verification and onboarding process within 30 days of starting their application; and
• The Referred Business must complete any additional Campaign-Specific Requirements (defined below) like holding a minimum balance or spending a minimum amount via card.
Verbal referrals will not be accepted. Aspire reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the original lead source.

Startup Reward Payout
Referred Businesses that complete all Qualifying Events will earn a startup reward (“Startup Reward”). Startup Reward amounts will vary, depending on the campaign that is in effect at the time of the referral.
Startup Rewards will be credited to the Referred Business’s primary Aspire Business Account, typically within 5 business days of the month following the end of the Eligibility Period.
Aspire may withhold Startup Rewards if it believes there was an error.

Tax Considerations
Businesses are solely responsible for reporting and remitting all taxes in connection with Rewards received in connection with the Program. However, businesses that earn $600 USD or more per year in Rewards will be required to provide additional tax documents to Aspire, as those payouts may be deemed miscellaneous income (i.e., requiring a 1099-MISC filing). As such, Aspire might be required to send to businesses and file with the IRS and other relevant tax agencies, relevant tax documents (1099-MISC or Form 1042-S) and may do so via a third-party service provider.
Businesses that fail to provide applicable tax documents may be limited to earning less than $600 in bonus payouts per calendar year.
Aspire does not provide any tax advice and businesses are responsible for any tax liability related to participation in the Program.
