After completing the application form, the referred friends or colleagues will be subject to several verification checks, such as verifying their employment online. If the referred friend or colleague does not pass our checks, then they will not be accepted onto the Community and no reward will be offered to the Vanson Bourne Community member.
For every friend or colleague that a Vanson Bourne Community member refers that successfully passes our checks, is accepted onto the community and completes three surveys, will receive twenty (20) points which will be added to their Vanson Bourne Community account within five working days. No cash alternative will be offered.
If a friend or colleague that has been referred is or has at some point in the past been a member of the Vanson Bourne Community or the Vanson Bourne Business Panel then you will not be eligible for any points.
If Vanson Bourne suspects any misuse of the referral scheme in anyway and identifies the Vanson Bourne Community member concerned, then their account may be terminated.
In the event of any dispute, Vanson Bourne’s decision will be final.
