provided “in their existing state” and “as available”, without any expressed or implied
guarantees or conditions of satisfactory quality, commerciality or other, thus, Obvia Edutech is
exempt from any responsibility.
10 - Obvia Rewards (Rewards Program)
10.1. Obvia Edutech strongly believes in its customers and partners, so it has created a Rewards
Program - Obvia Rewards. This program is based on referrals, a current customer of Obvia is
rewarded when referring a new client, as long as that client has an educational institution with
several students. The program does not cover the indication of individual students by another
student using the Obvia Method application.
6
10.2. The program gives a commission of 5% (five percent) to the indicator on subscription
sales of the Obvia Method to the client indicated by him / her (level 1). Besides this, Obvia
commissions the first indicator in 5% (five per cent) on the subscription sales of Obvia Method
we perform for a client that the referee indicates (level 2).
10.3. The commission is valid as long as the referral is active with your plan, that is, if the plan
is canceled by the referral, the Rewards Program commission automatically ceases. Thus,
coming into effect the cancellation of the subscription plan by the indicator or as indicated, the
indicator automatically loses the right of receipt of any value relating to the Rewards Program.
10.4. The commission will be paid for the indicator, only while he / she is active with an Obvia
Edutech subscription plan, in the same form and conditions that Obvia Edutech receives from
the client (in cash, in installments, etc.) within a maximum period of 30 (thirty) days from the
actual receipt, as follows:
10.4.1. Primarily by reduction in the debts of the indicated with Obvia Edutech concerning
the plan for him / her contracted;
10.4.2. If the indicator has no debts with Obvia Edutech, the commission amount will be
used to settle / write off future installments/monthly fees. Having canceled the plan,
before using the following months and repaid the termination fine, the amount of the
commission obtained until the time of cancellation, will be paid in the manner described in
Section 10.4.3.
10.4.3. In the latter case, the indicator must designate a valid checking account of his /
her ownership, mandatorily, so as to carry out the bank transfer of the commission
amount. All charges (taxes, fees, bank transfer costs and others) with the transaction,
whether national or international, must be borne by the indicator. When possible, the
charges will be paid directly by the indicator/receiver of the commission, if this is not
possible the amount of the charges will be deducted from the amount to be transferred to
the indicator, with only the final net amount being transferred.
10.5. The fact that the indicator client participates in this program does not establish any kind of
bond with Obvia Edutech, especially with regard to employment, insurance or social security.
