Program Overview

The Tanta Innovative Referral Program is designed to incentivize Referrers to introduce new clients, termed as 'Potential Registered Customers,' to Tanta Innovative's services. Referrers earn Referral Fees by successfully converting these introductions into registered clients who engage with our services.

Referrers are expected to use their best efforts to promote Tanta Innovative's services responsibly and ethically, ensuring that any promotional materials and communications are consistent with the program's guidelines, adhere to applicable marketing regulations, and respect privacy and data protection laws. Referrers should only target potential clients who have a genuine interest in Tanta Innovative's services.

The referral process is structured into three phases: (1) Submitting Referrals, (2) Referrals’ Assessment, and (3) Payment of Fees. Each phase is designed to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the referral process.

Submitting Referrals

Referrals must be submitted using the designated Referral Form provided by Tanta Innovative. This form requires the Referrer to input necessary personal information of the potential customer and obtain their consent for processing this data, in compliance with our privacy policies available at https://tantainnovatives.com/about-us/privacy-policy.

Upon successful submission, Referrers will receive a unique Referral Link which they can share with potential clients. This link directs the referred potential clients to a specific landing page where they can submit their details and signify their interest in Tanta Innovative's services. Each Referral Link is unique to each potential customer and can only be used once within the stipulated Referral Period.

It's crucial for Referrers to ensure that they have the appropriate consent from potential customers before sharing the Referral Link. Tanta Innovative reserves the right to limit the number of Referral Links a Referrer can generate and may invalidate or terminate any Referral Link at our discretion.

Referral Links are provided 'as is' with no warranties of any kind regarding their function or availability. Tanta Innovative will not be liable for any issues that arise due to lost or stolen links, nor for any unauthorized use of the Referral Links.
