Referral Policy

Every Yews account has a referral code and a referral link, both shown on the Refer a friend page. Share your link; when someone opens a new Yews account through it, they become your referral and you can earn a commission on their orders.

• The person must open a new account within 30 days of last opening your link. If they open someone else's link afterwards, the most recent link counts.
• They must verify their email address before any commission is earned.
• Existing accounts can't be referred, and you can't refer yourself.

You earn 5% of the item value of each order your referral pays for as a buyer, or receives payment for as a seller, during the 6 months after they sign up.

• Item value is the price of the items after any store discounts. Shipping and buyer protection fees aren't included.
• Commissions are rounded down to the nearest cent.
• Commissions are paid by Yews. They never increase what your referral pays, or reduce what they receive as a seller.
• No commission is earned on orders between you and the person you referred, or between two people you referred.

A commission is pending until the order is completed, and is confirmed only then. It's cancelled if the order is cancelled or refunded, or if the payment is reversed (a chargeback).

Confirmed commissions are paid into your Yews wallet at the end of each calendar month (South African time), once they add up to at least R50. Smaller amounts roll over to the next month. Wallet funds can be spent on Yews or withdrawn like the rest of your wallet balance.

If a payment is reversed after its commission has been paid, we deduct that amount from your future referral payouts.

We may withhold or reverse commissions we reasonably believe come from fraud, self-dealing or abuse of the programme, and we may suspend your participation if that happens.

We may change or end the programme with notice. We'll post any changes here and update the date at the top. Commissions already confirmed will still be paid.
