1. Promoter

The Referral Programme is operated by Apex (we, us, our).

The Referral Programme relates to the launch of the ELITE-1 performance sock.

Waitlist page: https://apexsox.com/pages/elitewaitlist

2. Purpose of the Referral Programme

The Referral Programme is designed to reward eligible participants for referring other people to join the waitlist for the ELITE-1 launch.

The programme is intended solely for genuine, good-faith referrals of real individuals who are genuinely interested in Apex and the ELITE-1 product.

3. Platform and administration

We use a third-party platform, Waitlister, to administer and track referrals associated with the waitlist. We use Klaviyo, with supporting automation, to manage communications and related profile information.

Our use of Waitlister, Klaviyo, and related tools does not limit our right to review referral activity, determine eligibility, or withhold, amend, or cancel rewards where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.

4. Eligibility

To participate in the Referral Programme, you must:

• join the ELITE-1 waitlist through the official Apex waitlist page or an associated referral link;
• provide accurate and complete information;
• comply with these Terms & Conditions; and
• where applicable, be eligible to receive promotional offers under applicable law.

The Referral Programme is void where prohibited by law.

We may refuse participation, remove any participant, or withhold any reward where we reasonably believe a participant is in breach of these Terms.

5. How the Referral Programme works

After joining the waitlist, eligible participants may receive or be assigned a referral link or referral tracking mechanism.

If another person signs up to the waitlist through that participant’s referral tracking mechanism, the referral may be recorded by our systems.

A referral will only count where we determine, in our sole but reasonable discretion, that it is a valid referral.

6. Referral rewards

Subject to these Terms, the following reward structure applies:

1 valid referral

• Give: 10% discount to a friend
• Get: 10% discount

3 valid referrals

• Get: 20% discount off the ELITE-1 sock at launch

5 valid referrals

• Get: 30% team discount, applicable when purchasing 5 or more socks at launch

7. Reward timing

All rewards and discounts under this Referral Programme will be issued at launch only.

No discount, reward, or benefit will be issued before launch unless we expressly state otherwise.

If the launch timing changes, reward delivery timing may also change accordingly.

8. Launch timing

The ELITE-1 sock is currently expected to launch at the end of Q2 2026 or in early Q3 2026. All launch timing is subject to change.

We reserve the right to change the launch date, release schedule, or availability of the product at any time.

9. Valid referrals

A referral will count only if all of the following apply:

• the referred person is a genuine individual;
• the referred person completes the waitlist sign-up process as required by us;
• the referred sign-up is tracked successfully by our systems;
• the referred person has not previously joined the waitlist using the same or another email address;
• the referral is not fraudulent, artificial, misleading, abusive, or otherwise contrary to these Terms; and
• we do not otherwise determine that the referral should be disqualified.

A referred sign-up may be recorded by the platform but still not qualify as a valid referral for reward purposes.

10. Non-valid referrals

The following do not qualify as valid referrals and may be removed, disqualified, or reversed at any time:

• self-referrals;
• referrals using fake, temporary, disposable, or invalid email addresses;
• referrals created using bots, scripts, automation, or other artificial methods;
• duplicate sign-ups;
• sign-ups created solely to trigger rewards or discounts;
• referrals that breach these Terms;
• referrals that we reasonably suspect are fraudulent, manipulated, or abusive.

If we determine that a referral is invalid, we may remove that referral from your total, reduce associated points or benefits, and cancel any reward connected to it.

11. Fraud, abuse, and manipulation

We reserve the right to investigate any activity that appears suspicious, abusive, unfair, or inconsistent with the intended purpose of the Referral Programme.

Where we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, manipulation, or bad-faith participation, we may, without liability:

• disqualify individual referrals;
• reduce or remove referral credit;
• cancel or withhold discounts or rewards;
• suspend or remove a participant from the Referral Programme;
• reverse previously granted benefits; and
• refuse future participation.

Our decision on whether a referral is legitimate, valid, suspicious, or abusive will be final.

12. No right to reward until issued

Recording of a referral, display of referral numbers, or accumulation of points in any system does not create a vested right to any reward.

A reward is only earned once we confirm eligibility and issue it at launch.

Until then, all referral counts, statuses, points, and rewards remain subject to verification, correction, adjustment, suspension, or cancellation.

13. Discount stacking

Referral discounts do stack with:

• our launch offer; and
• our multi-pair discount.

Referral discounts do not stack with:

• affiliate discounts;
• affiliate codes;
• any other discount code, offer, promotion, voucher, or coupon not expressly stated by us as stackable.

Where more than one non-stackable discount is available, we reserve the right to determine which discount or offer applies.

14. Reward conditions and limitations

All rewards are subject to:

• product availability;
• stock levels;
• launch timing;
• any minimum purchase requirements stated in the reward description; and
• these Terms & Conditions.

For the 5 referral reward, the 30% team discount applies only where the qualifying launch order includes 5 or more socks.

Rewards are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and have no cash value unless required by law.

We reserve the right to substitute, amend, withdraw, or cancel any reward where reasonably necessary, including where stock, operational, legal, or commercial factors require it.

15. Communications

By joining the waitlist and participating in the Referral Programme, you understand that we may send you communications relating to:

• the waitlist;
• referral progress;
• the ELITE-1 launch;
• reward eligibility;
• launch offers; and
• related Apex updates, in accordance with our privacy practices and applicable law.

16. Participant responsibilities

You must not:

• misrepresent Apex, the product, or the Referral Programme;
• impersonate another person;
• send spam or unsolicited referral messages;
• use paid ads, bots, scripts, fake accounts, or deceptive tactics to generate referrals;
• publish or distribute your referral link in a way that breaches applicable law, platform rules, or these Terms;
• attempt to exploit errors or loopholes in the programme.

You are responsible for ensuring that any sharing of your referral link complies with applicable law and platform policies.

17. Corrections and discrepancies

We reserve the right to correct any errors, omissions, technical issues, referral miscounts, or reward misallocations at any time.

If there is any discrepancy between referral totals, points, status, or eligibility shown in any interface, email, or platform and our internal records, our internal determination will prevail.

18. Suspension, modification, or termination

We reserve the right to suspend, modify, withdraw, or terminate the Referral Programme, in whole or in part, at any time, including where reasonably necessary due to:

• fraud or abuse;
• technical issues;
• commercial reasons;
• product delays;
• legal or regulatory requirements; or
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Any such change may affect referral counts, rewards, eligibility, or timing.

19. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for:

• technical failures;
• platform outages;
• tracking failures;
• delayed, lost, or misattributed referrals;
• inaccurate referral counts caused by third-party systems;
• inability to issue a reward due to fraud prevention, stock limits, or operational constraints.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

20. Privacy

We collect, process, and use personal data in connection with the waitlist and Referral Programme in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

By participating, you acknowledge that your information may be processed through third-party service providers used to administer the waitlist, referral tracking, and communications.

21. Governing interpretation

We reserve the right to interpret and apply these Terms in line with the intended purpose of the Referral Programme: rewarding genuine referrals and protecting the integrity of the launch.

Our decisions regarding eligibility, referral validity, abuse, and reward entitlement are final, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
