Important Supplemental Terms

Party Pay Terms & Conditions

These Party Pay Terms and Conditions supplement the Visible service Terms and Conditions and the Visible Privacy Policy.

NOTE (October 2022): Visible is changing our Party Pay experience. As of August 17, 2022, Party Pay will not be offered as part of our new network and the Visible or Visible+ plans. Party Pay members on our Visible Unlimited plan will continue to be able to join and switch a Party, and receive Party Pay discounted Visible service of $25, $30, or $35 per month. The below Party Pay terms will continue to apply as long as you remain in a Party. Visible reserves the right to update our Party Pay terms, eligibility and availability at any time, so please continue to check this page for the latest terms applicable to Party Pay.

Party Pay Overview

Party Pay allows you to get Visible Unlimited service for less than the standard $40/mo/line service charge. Each Visible Unlimited member in a party of four or more pays $25/mo/line for service. In a party of three, each member pays $30/mo/line. In a party of two, each member pays $35/mo/line.

How it Works

1. You get started by joining a party after you activate from a list of open parties presented on the main Party Pay page. Note: as of August 17, 2022, new members are no longer able to join a party.

2. If other Visible Unlimited Members want to join your, the person must sign in and visit the Party Pay page and enter the Party name under the Party Pay section to join the party.

Important Plan Limitations

Party Management:

1. Once you join a party, you can choose to leave the party, but you cannot remove other members of the party.

2. If you leave a party, you can rejoin the same party or another active party, as long as that party is active and available when searching on the Party Pay tab.

3. Visible reserves the right to change the name/details of a party, suppress a party from discovery by other members, and/or dissolve a party, with or without notice to you, for any reason at all, including (but not limited to) if the name is inappropriate, offensive, or derogatory or infringes on the rights of any other person or entity. Any decision to alter or dissolve a party or party’s name/details is at Visible’s sole discretion.

4. Visible reserves the right to promote your party to existing members or promote/reference your party in any external forum or media. By creating or joining a party, you consent to Visible’s right to promote and publicize the party.

Monthly Charges:

1. The Party Pay discount applies to everyone in the party, but each member manages their own account and pays their own service charges.

2. The party discount is applied to your second month of Visible Unlimited service and is based on the number of active members in the party at the time your payment is made. For example, if there are 3 active members in your party when your payment is made, your monthly Visible service is $30.

3. If a party member is no longer in good standing (e.g., misses a payment or lapses service, pauses service, cancels the account, or leaves Visible), the monthly service amount will increase for the remaining members in the party starting with the next month’s service payment if there are less than four members remaining in the party at the time the next month’s payment becomes due.

4. If a party member changes plans to Visible or Visible+, the member who changes plans will lose their Party Pay discount. The remaining party members will continue to receive the same monthly discounted service amount without change as long as the former party member remains in good standing on any Visible service plan and there are four or more members remaining in the party (or, for former party members who switched plans, as long as they continue to maintain Visible service on any service plan).

For purposes of illustration, this means that if there are four members in a party and one member switches to the Visible+ plan, the three remaining members in the party will continue to pay the same discounted amount as before. If however, that member terminates their Visible service, then the remaining three members in the party will have their next month’s service payment increased by $5 unless they add another member to their party, or unless they switch to a new party with 4 or more members.

5. If a member joins a party or switches from one existing party to another party, that member will immediately begin enjoying the new party’s rate at their next payment date. The only exception is for a member using autopay who is trying to join a new party within 36 hours prior to their payment due date. In this scenario, the member will enjoy the new party’s rate the month following their next payment.

Your Information:

1. We display a limited amount of information about party members in the following circumstances:

- To know how many current members are in your party

- In email communications related to activity for your party

- To anyone who accesses the Party Pay’s web page.

2. When you leave the party or have a lapse in service or terminate your account, other members of the party will be able to see that there is one less member of the party, but they will not be able to see the reason you left the party or the identity of who left the party. We will also send you a communication about this change in party membership if it impacts your payment amount.

3. If you invite someone to join a party by providing the person’s email address to Visible, the person won’t receive any other communications from Visible unless they’re subscribed to our communications.

4. Visible will not provide contact details for the members of a party or any Visible subscriber.

5. In order to join a party, we don’t require you to provide information beyond what we collect to establish your account and provide service.

Updated Oct 2022

Bring a Friend (Referral Program) Terms and Conditions

These Bring a Friend (formerly the Visible Referral Program) Terms and Conditions supplement the Visible service Terms and Conditions and the Visible Privacy Policy.

Bring a Friend Program Overview

NOTE: Effective May 26th, 2022 we have updated our Bring a Friend program. As of this date, the value of our Referrals credits - both prospective and banked - will change from applying as a future $5 month to now apply as $20-off the next month’s service cost. The Visible New Member offer, when available, will be combinable with the new $20-off credits.

If you refer a new member to Visible, and the new member activates service, Both you and your friend’s next month’s all-in service costs will be reduced by $20. You can bank up to 12 referrals, so if you refer 12 new members who activate service with Visible, your all-in service costs will be reduced by $20 per month for each of the next 12 months (and the 12 new members you referred will each have received $20 off their first month of service). Learn more about the Referral Program in our Help Center: https://www.visible.com/help/

How it Works

1. Active Visible members can access a unique Bring a Friend code that they can share with non-customers.

2. To find your Bring a Friend code Log-in to your account and visit your Bring a Friend page (in the Account>Referrals section, click on the ‘Learn more’ button under the Bring a Friend credit section) to access your Bring a Friend code

3. Send your Bring a Friend code or the link to your Bring a Friend URL to a friend, family member or prospective customer through traditional channels (email, private message, etc.), or by clicking the ‘Copy code’ link on your Bring a Friend page.

4. If a prospective customer - someone who has never previously had Visible service - uses your Bring a Friend code they will receive $20 off their first month of service, which will be applied at the time they activate new service with Visible, then you will automatically have a Bring a Friend credit applied to your account.

5. If you have a Bring a Friend credit banked in your account, your next month’s all-in cost will be automatically reduced by $20.

6. You can have 12 Bring a Friend credits banked at any time. If you refer more than 12 new members while you have 12 credits banked, you will still only receive the maximum of 12 credits.

Important Limitations

1. For you to receive a Bring a Friend credit, a new member you refer must (1) activate Visible service and (2) use your Bring a Friend code at the time of activation. In other words, you will not receive a Bring a Friend credit if the potential new member fails to complete their activation or fails to use your Bring a Friend code if they activate.

2. Bring a Friend credits are not transferrable, have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash. Bring a Friend credits will be applied against service charges, and will not be used to offset any other charges. For example, Bring a Friend credits will not be applied to cover taxes and fees (though the taxes and fees will still be included in the all-in cost you pay when you use a credit), device charges, insurance costs or any other non-service cost.

3. Bring a Friend credits will only apply if you remain a member in good-standing and continue to maintain Visible service. If you terminate, suspend, or let your account lapse, any banked Bring a Friend credits may be voided as well and may no longer be applicable for future service. If your account terminates and you reactivate in the future, while we’ll be very happy to have you back, any previously voided Bring a Friend credits may not be restored. Visible retains sole discretion in determining whether credits are voided

4. The Bring a Friend program is subject to change, modification, or cancellation at any time in Visible’s sole discretion, with or without notice.

5. If there is any fraud, abuse, or shenanigans (for example, creating fake accounts or using false credentials to create accounts) used in connection with the Bring a Friend program or to game the distribution of Bring a Friend codes or collection of Bring a Friend credits, Visible reserves the right to void credits and exercise any other rights available under the Visible Customer Agreement.

6. Friend Codes can be stacked with certain other Promotions, but only where indicated in the promotional terms and conditions. Visible retains the right to determine which promotions stack or don’t stack with Bring a Friend credits, and promotion stacking is subject to change at Visible’s discretion.

Your Information

If someone uses your Bring a Friend code to activate a new line of service, there is a notification you would get each time a first through twelfth Bring a Friend was granted. The notification will reveal the first name of who used your Bring a Friend code. No other personal information will be shared when your Bring a Friend code is used, and the first name of the person who uses a code is only shared so referrers can keep track of the status of their referrals.

If someone uses your code to activate, at the moment of their activation, you would receive a notification informing you that someone used your Bring a Friend code, and that a Bring a Friend credit will be applied to reduce your next month’s all-in cost by $20, and any other Bring a Friend credits earned over the next month will be applied to your Visible wallet to use towards future months’ service (up to twelve credits at any time may be banked). You will then be able to see the first names of the people who have used your code in your referrals summary. Please note that you will not be able to see the first name of people who used your code prior to March 2022.

If you use someone else’s Bring a Friend code while activating service, Visible will provide your first name to the person who provided the code. Visible will also notify that person to inform them that their code has been used.

Usage of a Bring a Friend URL may be tracked in accordance with the terms set forth in the Visible Privacy Policy.

Limited Time Bring a Friend Offers

From time to time, members may be invited to participate in a special, limited time Bring a Friend offers, through which members can earn bonus rewards for meeting certain referral criteria. These rewards are in addition to (and not in lieu of) the normal referral bonus received for each qualifying Bring a Friend referral.

The terms for each limited time offer will be set out in the invitation we may send to members. In order to receive these bonus rewards, the member must meet all criteria laid out in the offer. Completion of requirements will be determined at Visible’s sole discretion.

Unless otherwise specified, members will only be able to enroll in one limited time Bring a Friend offer at any time.

We will notify members of their eligibility for a bonus offer, whether they’ve met the qualification requirements, and redemption instructions via email. To receive these notifications, please make sure your email and mailing addresses are up to date. Visible is not responsible for any failure to receive notifications if a member fails to keep their contact information current.

Invitations to participate in a limited time offer, and the selection of the members who will be invited to participate, will be sent at Visible’s sole discretion. Visible is not responsible for any member’s failure to receive an invitation, failure to enroll in an offer, or failure to complete the program requirements. Visible cannot guarantee that members will be invited to participate in any particular campaign. Invitations are not transferable, and members may be disqualified from participating in any program for any violation of these terms or the general Bring a Friend terms.
