TO PARTICIPATE
In order to qualify to participate in this scheme, you must be actively enrolled in the Crayon Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Indirect Reseller Programme.
Points will be awarded to each Participant based on their active technology consumption billings within their Crayon Microsoft CSP agreement. For every $10* dollars consumed through your active enrolment within your Crayon CSP Indirect Reseller agreement, you will automatically receive 1 Pulse Point (so, for example, if you bill $100 you will receive 10* Pulse Points) to spend. Pulse Points have no redeemable cash value and can only be used in exchange for the goods and services available within the Crayon Rewards Catalogue.
The number of Pulse Points allocated based on the level of cloud technology consumption billings as described above is dependent on the conversion rate between the local currency consumption is billed at and US Dollar (USD). Should the British Pound or any other currency decrease in value from its start valuation on 1st December 2016 by more than 15% for more than 30 days, Crayon Group retain the right to amend the rate of allocation of Pulse Points based on the USD value of future cloud technology consumption.
From time to time Pulse Points awarded or transacted may be audited and in the event that an audit reveals discrepancies or possible violations, the processing of further award redemption requests may be delayed pending completion of the audit and pending the outcome of any corrections to be applied.
Crayon Group is not responsible for lost, corrupted or delayed entries. Participation constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Any failure to follow Programme terms and conditions, any abuse of the Programme, any conduct detrimental to the interests of either Crayon Group or the Administrator, or any misrepresentation of any information furnished to Crayon Group may result in the termination of his or her participation, the cancellation of accrued points, rewards or benefits, or both.
