Active players of Lord of the Rings Online™ (the “Game”) may refer friends to play the Game, subject to the following terms and conditions. Participation in the Turbine Referral Program (the “Referral Program”) is optional and voluntary.
- A player who has an active online account to play the Game (“Customer” or “you”) may refer an unlimited number of friends (“Guests”) to play the Game on servers hosted by Turbine, Inc. (“Turbine”) in North America, subject to availability and these terms and conditions.
- Once a Customer submits Guests’ contact information to Turbine, an automatic email or social network invitation will be sent to those Guests. The invitation will include an activation link (a “Guest Link”) to permit the Guest to play the Game. You are responsible for obtaining your Guests’ permission to share their email addresses or other contact information with Turbine. The Guests you refer into this Referral Program should be expecting our email. The Turbine Referral Program may not be used to send unsolicited emails or social messages.
- Customers may receive Referral Credits when Guests purchase Turbine Points with a valid payment method at the in-game LOTRO Store. Free, earned, VIP, and promotional points do not count toward Referral Credits. Referral Credits will not post to the Customer account until after the transaction has settled.
- The amount of Referral Credits awarded is determined by Turbine and is subject to change. The base Referral Credit Reward Rate is: 10% of points purchased by the Guest will be credited to the Customer. Turbine may from time to time elect to credit more or less than the normal 10% as part of promotional activity.
- Points may be revoked from a Customer’s account in the event of fraudulent or erroneous activity, failure of payment processing, or other technical errors which result in an over crediting of Customer Referral Credits.
- Only one invitation per email address will be allowed to participate as a Guest in this Referral Program. If a Guest was previously invited by one Customer, neither that Customer nor any another Customer may invite that Guest again.
- Guest Links are available to new Game subscriptions only and not existing Game subscriptions.
- Only players located in the North America (excluding Quebec), Australia and New Zealand are eligible for this Referral Program.
- Gameplay requires an Internet connection. Guests are responsible for their own telecommunications charges. Online ISP fees may apply. Guests’ personal computers must meet certain minimum system requirements to play the Game; however, the recommended system requirements are advised for better performance. Gameplay is subject to network and server availability and may be interrupted by the service provider for testing and system and software updates.
- Referral Credits and Guest Links have no cash value and are non-refundable. Referral Credits are non-transferable. Referral credits may only be redeemed for points in the LOTRO Store.
- This Referral Program is void where prohibited. This Referral Program is subject to change and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by Turbine at any time for any or no reason, and with or without notice.
- Guests who you refer to this Referral Program will be linked to your Game subscription. Please avoid sharing Guest Links with people who may abuse them or are likely to violate the applicable End User License Agreement, Code of Conduct or Terms of Service (“End User Agreements”). Acceptance of and compliance with the applicable End User Agreements by all Guests is required. Turbine reserves the right to revoke the Referral Credits of Customers whose Guests violate such End User Agreements during the their use of the Game (such as, for example, real money traders or exploiters).
By participating in the Turbine Referral Program and submitting Guest information to Turbine, you hereby agree to the foregoing Terms and Conditions. Updates may be made to these Terms and Conditions at any time with or without notice at this web page.
